= KEY ====================
    # Breaks back-compat
    ! Feature
    - Bugfix
      + Sub-comment
    . Internal change
==========================

1.5.0, unknown release date
! Added a rudimentary I18N and L10N system modeled off MediaWiki
- Allow 'x' subtag in language codes
- Fixed buggy chameleon-support for ins and del
. Added support for IDREF attributes (i.e. for)
. Renamed HTMLPurifier_AttrDef_Class to HTMLPurifier_AttrDef_Nmtokens
. Removed context variable ParentType, replaced with IsInline, which
  is false when you're not inline and an integer of the parent that
  caused you to become inline when you are (so possibly zero)
. Removed ElementDef->type in favor of ElementDef->descendants_are_inline
  and HTMLDefinition->content_sets
. StrictBlockquote now reports what elements its supposed to allow,
  rather than what it does allow
. Removed HTMLDefinition->info_flow_elements in favor of
  HTMLDefinition->content_sets['Flow']
. Removed redundant "exclusionary" definitions from DTD roster
. StrictBlockquote now requires a construction parameter as if it
  were an Required ChildDef, this is the "real" set of allowed elements

1.4.1, released 2007-01-21

! Support for configuration directive aliases added

  you can add it as a filter to your code. See smoketests/preserveYouTube.php
  for sample code.

- Replaced version check with functionality check for DOM (thanks Stephen
  Khoo)

  users narrow the set of allowed tags
! <li value="4"> and <ul start="2"> now allowed in loose mode
! New directives %URI.DisableExternalResources and %URI.DisableResources
! New directive %Attr.DisableURI, which eliminates all hyperlinking
! New directive %URI.Munge, munges URI so you can use some sort of redirector
  service to avoid PageRank leaks or warn users that they are exiting your site.
! Added spiffy new smoketest printDefinition.php, which lets you twiddle with
  the configuration settings and see how the internal rules are affected.
! New directive %URI.HostBlacklist for blocking links to bad hosts.
