lxml 1.1.2 released

[Stefan Behnel]

Hi everyone,

after a month of bug tracing and fixing, lxml 1.1.2 finally made it to the
cheeseshop.

http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/lxml

This is mainly a bugfix release for the stable and production-ready 1.1
series, the changelog is below. As there were a number of important fixes,
updating is recommended.

What is lxml?

"""
lxml is a Pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries. It provides
safe and convenient access to these libraries using the ElementTree API.

It extends the ElementTree API significantly to offer support for XPath,
RelaxNG, XML Schema, XSLT, C14N and much more. Lxml also features a
sophisticated API for custom element classes. This is a simple way to write
arbitrary XML driven APIs on top of lxml. There is a separate module
lxml.objectify that implements a data-binding API on top of lxml.etree.
"""

See the web page for more information and documentation:

Have fun,
Stefan
