Meeseeks - A library for extracting data from HTML and XML with CSS or XPath selectors

Release v0.5.0

XPATH SELECTORS!

They weren’t particularly easy to implement, but the library is stronger for the work that went into them. I doubled my test count trying to make sure the implementation was accurate, but XPath is… interesting and there’s every chance a few slipped by, so let me know if you find one.

Fun fact- in XPath 1.0 it’s valid to take a substring starting at -INFINITY and continuing for INFINITY characters.

This release also fixes some bugs related to element namespaces and a bug related to lack of html5ever version limits that was causing compilation problems for meeseeks_html5ever.
