* http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2016/CVE-2016-5131.html


## Dependencies

* [Windows] Upgrade zlib from 1.2.8 to 1.2.11 (unless --use-system-libraries)


# 1.7.0.1 / 2017-01-04

## Bugs

# 1.7.0 / 2016-12-26

## Features

* Remove deprecation warnings in Ruby 2.4.0 (#1545) (Thanks, @matthewd!)
* Support egcc compiler on OpenBSD (#1543) (Thanks, @frenkel and @knu!)


## Backwards incompatibilities.

* Ruby 1.9.2, for which official support ended on 2014-07-31
* Ruby 1.9.3, for which official support ended on 2015-02-23
* Ruby 2.0.0, for which official support ended on 2016-02-24
* MacRuby, which hasn't been actively supported since 2015-01-13 (see https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/commit/f76b9d6e99c18236db617e8aceb12c27d593a483)


# 1.6.8.1 / 2016-10-03

## Dependency License Notes

Removes required dependency on the `pkg-config` gem. This dependency
was introduced in v1.6.8 and, because it's distributed under LGPL, was
objectionable to many Nokogiri users (#1488, #1496).

This version makes `pkg-config` an optional dependency. If it's
installed, it's used; but otherwise Nokogiri will attempt to work
around its absence.


# 1.6.8 / 2016-06-06

## Security Notes

[MRI] Bundled libxml2 is upgraded to 2.9.4, which fixes many security issues. Many of these had previously been patched in the vendored libxml 2.9.2 in the 1.6.7.x branch, but some are newer.

See these libxml2 email posts for more:

* https://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2015-November/msg00012.html
* https://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2016-May/msg00023.html

For a more detailed analysis, you may care to read Canonical's take on these security issues:

* http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2994-1


[MRI] Bundled libxslt is upgraded to 1.1.29, which fixes a security issue as well as many long-known outstanding bugs, some features, some portability improvements, and general cleanup.

See this libxslt email post for more:
