After more than two year after the latest official version, _why released Hpricot 0.7. Looking at the change notes, this version is compatible with Ruby 1.9 and comes with a rewritten parser routine.
I've got a couple of projects where I'm using Hpricot extensively for HTML page scraping and XML parsing, sometimes as a replacement for the Ruby REXML library. I'm looking forward to run the test and benchmark suites against this new release!
If you don't know Hpricot, don't wait any longer to visit the project wiki.
