Hi Scrapy users! Have you tried Scrapy 1.1 RC4 yet (see instructions in previous message below)? If not, please do to help us find final bugs before the final 1.1 release. If you did try it and it worked well, that's also valuable feedback, so let us know :-)
Happy scraping! /Paul, for the Scrapy team.
