Release Name: 0.8
Notes:
Hpricot is a fast, flexible HTML parser written in C. It's designed to be very
accommodating (like Tanaka Akira's HTree) and to have a very helpful library
(like some JavaScript libs -- JQuery, Prototype -- give you.) The XPath and CSS
parser, in fact, is based on John Resig's JQuery.
Also, Hpricot can be handy for reading broken XML files, since many of the same
techniques can be used. If a quote is missing, Hpricot tries to figure it out.
If tags overlap, Hpricot works on sorting them out. You know, that sort of
thing.

=== 31st March, 2009
* Saving memory and speed by using RStruct-based elements in the C extension.
* Bug in tag parsing, causing runaway <script> and <style> tags in HTML.
* Problem compiling under Ruby 1.9, due to our_rb_hash_lookup function meant for Ruby 1.8.
* CData was missing inner_text method.
