XIST 2.8 has been released!


What is it? ===========

XIST is an extensible HTML/XML generator written in Python. XIST is
also a DOM parser (built on top of SAX2) with a very simple and
Pythonesque tree API. Every XML element type corresponds to a Python
class, and these Python classes provide a conversion method to transform
the XML tree (e.g. into HTML). XIST can be considered "object oriented XSL".


What's new in version 2.8? ==========================

  * XIST requires Python 2.4 now.
  * ll.xist.ns.specials.x has been renamed to
    ll.xist.ns.specials.ignore.
    ll.xist.utils.findAttr has been renamed to ll.xist.utils.findattr.
  * ll.xist.xfind.item no longer handles slices.
  * XFind has been enhanced to support item and slice operators, i.e.
    if foo is an XFind operator, foo[0] is an operator that will
    produce the first node from foo (if there is one). Negative values
    and slices are supported too.
  * Operators can be chained via division: html.a/html.b is an operator
    that can be passed around and applied to a node.
  * XIST requires the new core module and makes use of the new
    "cooperative displayhook" functionality defined there: If you
    install the displayhook you can tweak or replace
    ll.xist.presenters.hookpresenter to change the output.

For changes in older versions see:

As the package structure has changed, there is a new version of every
other LivingLogic package too.

Furthermore the web pages have been redesigned.
