Nokogiri 1.5.0 ("Y U NO RELEASE?" Edition) has been released!

ZOMG GUYS AND GIRLS! It's been over a year since we announced
1.5.0.beta.1 and the sweet, sweet pure-Java code that replaces LibXML
on JRuby.

We've received a lot of feedback from the JRuby community since then,
and although it's likely that this version is not absolutely perfect,
it's close enough for rock and roll.


## NON-JRUBY PLATFORMS

On non-JRuby platforms, this code is functionally identical to 1.4.7,
so you should be able to upgrade with impunity, with the following
caveats:

* Support for Ruby 1.8.6 has ended.
  This release will only install on Ruby >=3D1.8.7.
* Support for LibXML 2.6.16 and earlier has ended.
  This release will only install with later versions.
* Support for FFI has ended.


## JRUBY

I'd like to make sure that I'm being totally, absolutely clear about
this:

*  On JRuby, Nokogiri 1.5.0 does not use LibXML.
*  On JRuby, Nokogiri 1.5.0 will always use the new pure-Java backend.

So you should probably do some thorough testing of your application
before deploying with this release.


## CREDIT

The pure-java backend was built largely through the epic efforts of a
very few developers:

* Yoko Harada (@yokolet)
* Charles Nutter (@headius)
* Sergio Arbeo (@serabe)
* Pat Mahoney (@pmahoney)

Special thanks to Yoko, who has taken on the majority of the
maintenance burden. Arigato gosaimasu, Yoko!

Nokogiri (=E9=8B=B8) is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser.  Among
Nokogiri's many features is the ability to search documents via XPath
or CSS3 selectors.

XML is like violence - if it doesn=E2=80=99t solve your problems, you are n=
ot
using enough of it.
