nokogiri version 1.5.0.beta.1-java has been released!
This is a java-only prerelease that is functionally equivalent to 1.4.1-ish,
but running a new pure-java backend. The purpose of this release is to start
getting feedback from early adopters, and to provide early support for
java-only platforms (Android, GAE, what-have-you).
THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE AND MAY BE UNSTABLE. PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION. There
are still a few small behavioral differences between libxml-based Nokogiri
and the pure-java backend, which will be addressed or documented by 1.5.0
final.
Nokogiri's roadmap is to deliver a 1.5.0 final for all platforms by late
summer that will be functionally equivalent to 1.4.2 (or whatever the latest
1.4.x point release is at that time).
jruby -S gem install nokogiri # => will install 1.4.2
jruby -S gem install --prerelease nokogiri # => will install
1.5.0.beta.1
--------------------
The pure-java backend was built largely through the efforts of a few
developers:
* Pat Mahoney
* Yoko Harada
* Charles Nutter
* Sergio Arbeo
We all owe them a debt of gratitude for their hard work and persistence.
Thank you, Pat, Yoko, Charlie and Sergio!
Pat and Yoko will also be the recipients of a monetary compensation,
organized through Roger Pack's excellent Ruby Bounties project:

This will be the largest bounty paid out to date: $625!

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.
XML is like violence - if it doesn’t solve your problems, you are not using
enough of it.
