7 April 2011: Version 6.0 of the HTML/XML utilities adds only one
feature, but adds it to all utilities: support for document type
declarations with neither a public ID nor a system ID, i.e., something
like <!DOCTYPE foo>
. Such declarations are
currently rare, but that will probably change: HTML5 is expected to recommended that the first
line of HTML5 documents is <!doctype html>
19 January 2011: Version 5.9 of the HTML/XML utilities adds support for IPv6: the built-in HTTP client can now retrieve files over IPv6 (where available) and the URL parser understands numeric IPv6 addresses (e.g., “http://[2a01:e35:2e4f:c140:222:2ff:fe00:377]/”).
See the ChangeLog for details.
