nokogiri version 1.6.2 has been released! \* \<[http://nokogiri.org](http://nokogiri.org)\> \* \<[https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/wikis](https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/wikis)\> \* \<[https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/tree/master](https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/tree/master)\> \* \<[https://groups.google.com/group/nokogiri-talk](https://groups.google.com/group/nokogiri-talk)\> \* \<[https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues](https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues)\> Nokogiri (鋸) is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser. Among Nokogiri's many features is the ability to search documents via XPath or CSS3 selectors. ==== Security Note A set of security and bugfix patches have been backported from the libxml2 and libxslt repositories onto the version of 2.8.0 packaged with Nokogiri, including these notable security fixes: > **···** > > \* > [https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=4629ee02ac649c27f9c0cf98ba017c6b5526070f](https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=4629ee02ac649c27f9c0cf98ba017c6b5526070f) > \* CVE-2013-2877 > [https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=e50ba8164eee06461c73cd8abb9b46aa0be81869](https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=e50ba8164eee06461c73cd8abb9b46aa0be81869) > \* CVE-2014-0191 > [https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=9cd1c3cfbd32655d60572c0a413e017260c854df](https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=9cd1c3cfbd32655d60572c0a413e017260c854df) > > It is recommended that you upgrade from 1.6.x to this version as soon as > possible. > > ==== Compatibility Note > > Now requires libxml \>= 2.6.21 (was previously \>= 2.6.17). > > ==== Features > > \* Add cross building of fat binary gems for 64-Bit Windows (x64-mingw32) > and add support for native builds on Windows. #864, #989, #1072 > \* (MRI) Alias CP932 to Windows-31J if iconv does not support Windows-31J. > \* (MRI) Nokogiri now links packaged libraries statically.
