# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).


## [Unreleased]
### Changed
- Comments that start with `>` or `->` are now considered malformed in accordance with [section 12.1.6](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#comments) of the [HTML specification](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/). Comments may still contain the strings `<!--` or `--!>` and they may still end with `<!-` contrary to the specification.

## [2.0-RC2] - 2019-11-09

**Important**: This is a release **candidate**, which means some features might not yet be stable or emit unexpected behavior. Please don't hesitate to report broken or unstable features.

### Added
- Added a `README` file.
- Added a `composer` file.
- Added `.travis.yml` for automated unit tests with `Travis-CI`.
- Added the magic method `__debugInfo` to `HtmlDocument` and `HtmlNode` in order to reduce the memory footprint and to prevent recursion errors when using `print_r` and `var_dump`.
- Added the magic method `__call` to `HtmlDocument` and `HtmlNode` as a wrapper for deprecated methods using the lowercase calling convention (see below).
- Added unit tests `attribute_test.php`, `callback_test.php`, `debug_info_test.php`, `doctype_test.php`, `script_test.php`, `server_side_script_test.php`, `style_test.php` and `dom_manipulation_test.php`.
- Added and extended unit tests for `cdata_test.php` and `comment_test.php`.
- Added a new `Debug` class to inform users about deprecated functions, malformed documents and parsing issues.
- Added full support for `script` element parsing.
### Changed
- Renamed unit test `simple_html_dom_test.php` to `htmldocument_test.php`.
- Renamed unit test `simple_html_dom_node_test.php` to `htmlnode_test.php`.
- Changed the implementation of destructors for better garbage collection.
- Changed how literal elements (`script`, `style`, `cdata`, "comment" and `code`) are handled by `HtmlDocument`.
### Deprecated
- `HtmlDocument::clear()` has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom. Use `unset()` instead.
- `HtmlDocument::load_file()` has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom. Use `HtmlDocument::loadFile()` instead.
- `HtmlNode::children()` has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom. Use `HtmlNode::childNodes()` instead.
- `HtmlNode::first_child()` has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom. Use `HtmlNode::firstChild()` instead.
- `HtmlNode::has_child()` has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom. Use `HtmlNode::hasChild()` instead.
- `HtmlNode::last_child()` has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom. Use `HtmlNode::lastChild()` instead.
- `HtmlNode::next_sibling()` has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom. Use `HtmlNode::nextSibling()` instead.
- `HtmlNode::prev_sibling()` has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom. Use `HtmlNode::previousSibling()` instead.
- Support for Smarty scripts has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom.
- Support for server-side scripts has been deprecated and will be removed in the next major version of simplehtmldom.
### Removed
- Removed the `testcase/` folder as all tests are covered by unit tests inside `tests/`.
### Fixed
- Fixed a bug with boolean attributes that were incorrectly represented with a value of "1" when saving the DOM.
- Fixed a bug with comment and CDATA parsing that could cause an infinite loop if any of these elements contained `script`, `style`, `code`, server-side php or Smarty tags.
- Fixed a bug with comment and CDATA parsing that resulted in whitespace and newlines being removed when loading a document with `$stripRN = true` (default setting).
- Fixed a bug with attribute values that resulted in incorrectly encoded content when using `outertext()`, `innertext()` or `save()`.
- Fixed a bug with charset encoding that resulted in partially encoded documents depending on the use of `outertext()` and `innertext()` [#178](https://sourceforge.net/p/simplehtmldom/bugs/178/)
- Fixed multiple bugs related to DOM manipulation when using `HtmlDocument::createElement()`, `HtmlDocument::createTextNode()` and `HtmlNode::appendChild()`.
