Changelog

All notable changes to Dangl.TextConverter are documented here.

v1.3.7:

• Fixed a bug where the runtime complexity of the HtmlTableConverter was rising very fast for deeply nested tables

v1.3.6:

• Add net40 as target framework

v1.3.5:

• Deserializing RTF text now recognizes escape sequences in decimal format, e.g. \u252 is deserialized as ü

v1.3.4:

• The NuGet package now does specify the MIT license
• Dropped tests for netcoreapp2.2 and added tests for netcoreapp3.1
• The PackageIcon element is now used for the NuGet package instead of the deprecated PackageIconUrl

v1.3.3:

• Deserializing escaped unicode strings now ignores non printable characters

v1.3.2:

• Bugfix when deserializing incomplete RTF texts. When an incomplete RTF string was given, this could sometimes lead to a NullReferenceException

v1.3.1:

• Bugfix in HtmlToText.ConvertHtmlToPlaintextAndSplitByClassname which could throw an exception if the Html had no plain text representation, e.g. for image only Html

v1.3.0:

• The generated assemblies now have a strong name. This is a breaking change of the binary API and will require recompilation on all systems that consume this package. The strong name of the generated assembly allows compatibility with other, signed tools. Please note that this does not increase security or provide tamper-proof binaries, as the key is available in the source code per Microsoft guidelines

v1.2.9:

• The class Dangl.TextConverter.Html.HtmlTableConverter is now public
• The InternalsVisibleToo attribute for the assembly was removed to prevent conflicts in applications that sign their binaries

v1.2.8:

• Bugfix where bookmark elements in Rtf texts with missing closing elements where throwing a System.InvalidOperationException
• CI tests are now also run on Linux
• Bugfix where line endings were sometimes not correctly trimmed when running on .NET Core on Linux

v1.2.7:

• Non-printable unicode escape sequences (0x00 - 0x08, 0x0b and 0x0e - 0x1f) are now ignored when converting RTF text to plain text

v1.2.6:

• Add the HtmlAgilityPackLegacyBehaviorHelper utility class and fix an issue where enabling the legacy behavior in HtmlAgilityPack was not thread safe and could fail when simultaneously accessed

v1.2.5:

• Update HtmlAgilityPack dependency. The previously referenced version 1.9.2 was pulled from NuGet due to an unintended, breaking API change. Please see https://github.com/zzzprojects/html-agility-pack/issues/125 for more information about the change
• The HtmlToText class now sets the static property HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument.DisableBehavaiorTagP = false in its static method calls to ensure compatible behavior. If your own code relies on different behavior, please ensure that this property is always set to its original value after invoking one of the methods on HtmlToText. See the README for further details

v1.2.4:

• Dependencies update

v1.2.3.:

• Small internal refactoring
• Dependencies update

v1.2.2:

• Add bool keepWhitespaceAtLineEnds parameter to TextToHtml.TransformPlaintextToHtml() overload which defaults to false
• Bugfix where Rtf text was sometimes incorrectly read and output when segments between groups started with whitespace

v1.2.1:

• Add StringLineStartNormalizationExtensions

v1.2.0:

• Update HtmlAgilityPack for huge (about 10x) performance improvements in netstandard targets, see https://github.com/zzzprojects/html-agility-pack/releases/tag/v1.8.11
• When converting Html to plain text, it's now possible to have the result split by Html class names. Please see the README or https://docs.dangl-it.com/Projects/Dangl.TextConverter for further details
• public static SegmentedRtf ConvertRtfToSegmentedText(string rtfInput) was added to RtfToText. This will return text segments that contain plain text representations of the texts as well as tags to indicate the opening and closing of bookmarks. This is used, for example, in the GAEB & AVA .Net Libraries by DanglIT to work with text additions in GAEB 2000 files. Please see the README or https://docs.dangl-it.com/Projects/Dangl.TextConverter for further details
• Added TextToRtf.ConvertPlainTextToRtf(SegmentedRtf segmentedRtf) to convert back to Rtf from segmented texts while preserving bookmarks
• Dropped tests for netcoreapp2.0, added tests for netcoreapp2.2

v1.1.5:

• Bugfix: Some empty tables caused a NullReferenceException when converting them to plaintext via the HtmlToText class
• Update of HtmlAgilityPack and System.Text.Encoding.CodePages (the latter only for netstandard targets)

v1.1.4:

• Dependencies update

v1.1.3:

• Update of HtmlAgilityPack dependency to include latest bugfixes
• Internal refactoring of the CI/CD pipeline

v1.1.2:
