Bleach Changes

Version 2.0 (March 8th, 2017)

Backwards incompatible changes

• Removed support for Python 2.6. #206

• Removed support for Python 3.2. #224

• Bleach no longer supports html5lib < 0.99999999 (8 9s).

  This version is a rewrite to use the new sanitizing API since the old one was dropped in html5lib 0.99999999 (8 9s).

• bleach.clean and friends were rewritten

  clean was reimplemented as an html5lib filter and happens at a different step in the HTML parsing -> traversing -> serializing process. Because of that, there are some differences in clean’s output as compared with previous versions.

  Amongst other things, this version will add end tags even if the tag in question is to be escaped.

• bleach.clean and friends attribute callables now take three arguments: tag, attribute name and attribute value. Previously they only took attribute name and attribute value.

  All attribute callables will need to be updated.

• bleach.linkify was rewritten

  linkify was reimplemented as an html5lib Filter. As such, it no longer accepts a tokenizer argument.

  The callback functions for adjusting link attributes now takes a namespaced attribute.

  Previously you’d do something like this:

  def check_protocol(attrs, is_new):
      if not attrs.get('href', '').startswith('http:', 'https:')):
          return None
      return attrs
  

  Now it’s more like this:

  def check_protocol(attrs, is_new):
      if not attrs.get((None, u'href'), u'').startswith(('http:', 'https:')):
          #            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
          return None
      return attrs
  

  Further, you need to make sure you’re always using unicode values. If you don’t then html5lib will raise an assertion error that the value is not unicode.

  All linkify filters will need to be updated.

• bleach.linkify and friends had a skip_pre argument–that’s been replaced with a more general skip_tags argument.

  Before, you might do:

  bleach.linkify(some_text, skip_pre=True)
  

  The equivalent with Bleach 2.0 is:

  bleach.linkify(some_text, skip_tags=['pre'])
  

  You can skip other tags, too, like style or script or other places where you don’t want linkification happening.

  All uses of linkify that use skip_pre will need to be updated.

Changes

• Supports Python 3.6.
• Supports html5lib >= 0.99999999 (8 9s).
• There’s a bleach.sanitizer.Cleaner class that you can instantiate with your favorite clean settings for easy reuse.
• There’s a bleach.linkifier.Linker class that you can instantiate with your favorite linkify settings for easy reuse.
• There’s a bleach.linkifier.LinkifyFilter which is an htm5lib filter that you can pass as a filter to bleach.sanitizer.Cleaner allowing you to clean and linkify in one pass.
• bleach.clean and friends can now take a callable as an attributes arg value.
• Tons of bug fixes.
• Cleaned up tests.
• Documentation fixes.
