Hello, Scrapy users! We are happy to announce Scrapy 1.1 Release Candidate 4!
What's new in 1.1.0rc4 compared to 1.1.0rc3: - HTTPS connections work much better, and for more real world cases ; thank you for all your feedback on these issues. - canonicalize_url() output changes a bit, especially for non-ASCII URLs; this is technically backward incompatible (although we consider it as a bug fix) so double check your link extractors (which use it by default) and HTTP caches (as it is used by the default request fingerprinting) + a handful of bug fixes, new features and documentation improvements. See all the changes between 1.1.0rc3 and 1.1.0rc4 at this URL: https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/compare/1.1.0rc3...1.1.0rc4 or check the release notes changes (easier to digest): https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/pull/1960/files Scrapy 1.1 RC4 is available on PyPI <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Scrapy/1.1.0rc4>, as universal wheel and source distribution. Please give it a try, and report any problems at: https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/issues Install Scrapy 1.1.0rc4 via pip (we recommend that you use a virtualenv): $ pip install scrapy==1.1.0rc4 e.g., in a Python3 virtualenv: $ mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 scrapy11rc4.py3 (scrapy11rc4.py3)$ pip install scrapy==1.1.0rc4 Final note: make sure you upgrade w3lib to the latest 1.14.2 version which came out a few weeks ago, you'll need it to get proper behavior for non-ASCII URLs. Thank you and happy scraping! /Paul, for the Scrapy team. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "scrapy-users" group.
