   matching elements. Elements are evaluated and returned as they are found, and the stream can be
   terminated early. [2092](https://github.com/jhy/jsoup/pull/2092)
 * `Element` objects now implement `Iterable`, enabling them to be used in enhanced for loops.
+* Added support for fragment parsing from a `Reader` via
