* Thu Feb 14 2019 hpjAATTurpla.net- Update to 1.6.0 (2019-01-30): + Highlights:
* better Windows support
* Python 3.7 compatibility
* big documentation improvements, including a switch from .extract_first() + .extract() API to .get() + .getall() API
* feed exports, FilePipeline and MediaPipeline improvements
* better extensibility: :signal:`item_error` and :signal:`request_reached_downloader` signals; from_crawler support for feed exporters, feed storages and dupefilters.
* scrapy.contracts fixes and new features
* telnet console security improvements, first released as a backport in :ref:`release-1.5.2`
* clean-up of the deprecated code
* various bug fixes, small new features and usability improvements across the codebase. + Selector API changes + While these are not changes in Scrapy itself, but rather in the parsel library which Scrapy uses for xpath/css selectors, these changes are worth mentioning here. Scrapy now depends on parsel >= 1.5, and Scrapy documentation is updated to follow recent parsel API conventions. + Most visible change is that .get() and .getall() selector methods are now preferred over .extract_first() and .extract(). We feel that these new methods result in a more concise and readable code. See :ref:`old-extraction-api` for more details. + Note + There are currently no plans to deprecate .extract() and .extract_first() methods. + Another useful new feature is the introduction of Selector.attrib and SelectorList.attrib properties, which make it easier to get attributes of HTML elements. See :ref:`selecting-attributes`. + CSS selectors are cached in parsel >= 1.5, which makes them faster when the same CSS path is used many times. This is very common in case of Scrapy spiders: callbacks are usually called several times, on different pages.
* If you\'re using custom Selector or SelectorList subclasses, a backwards incompatible change in parsel may affect your code. See parsel changelog for a detailed description, as well as for the full list of improvements. + Telnet console
* Backwards incompatible: Scrapy\'s telnet console now requires username and password. See :ref:`topics-telnetconsole` for more details. This change fixes a security issue; see :ref:`release-1.5.2` release notes for details. + New extensibility features
* from_crawler support is added to feed exporters and feed storages. This, among other things, allows to access Scrapy settings from custom feed storages and exporters (:issue:`1605`, :issue:`3348`).
* from_crawler support is added to dupefilters (:issue:`2956`); this allows to access e.g. settings or a spider from a dupefilter.
* :signal:`item_error` is fired when an error happens in a pipeline (:issue:`3256`)
* :signal:`request_reached_downloader` is fired when Downloader gets a new Request; this signal can be useful e.g. for custom Schedulers (:issue:`3393`).
* new SitemapSpider :meth:`~.SitemapSpider.sitemap_filter` method which allows to select sitemap entries based on their attributes in SitemapSpider subclasses (:issue:`3512`).
* Lazy loading of Downloader Handlers is now optional; this enables better initialization error handling in custom Downloader Handlers (:issue:`3394`). + New FilePipeline and MediaPipeline features
* Expose more options for S3FilesStore: :setting:`AWS_ENDPOINT_URL`, :setting:`AWS_USE_SSL`, :setting:`AWS_VERIFY`, :setting:`AWS_REGION_NAME`. For example, this allows to use alternative or self-hosted AWS- compatible providers (:issue:`2609`, :issue:`3548`).
* ACL support for Google Cloud Storage: :setting:`FILES_STORE_GCS_ACL` and :setting:`IMAGES_STORE_GCS_ACL` (:issue:`3199`). + scrapy.contracts improvements
* Exceptions in contracts code are handled better (:issue:`3377`)
* dont_filter=True is used for contract requests, which allows to test different callbacks with the same URL (:issue:`3381`)
* request_cls attribute in Contract subclasses allow to use different Request classes in contracts, for example FormRequest (:issue:`3383`).
* Fixed errback handling in contracts, e.g. for cases where a contract is executed for URL which returns non-200 response (:issue:`3371`). + Usability improvements
* more stats for RobotsTxtMiddleware (:issue:`3100`)
* INFO log level is used to show telnet host/port (:issue:`3115`)
* a message is added to IgnoreRequest in RobotsTxtMiddleware (:issue:`3113`)
* better validation of url argument in Response.follow (:issue:`3131`)
* non-zero exit code is returned from Scrapy commands when error happens on spider inititalization (:issue:`3226`)
* Link extraction improvements: \"ftp\" is added to scheme list (:issue:`3152`); \"flv\" is added to common video extensions (:issue:`3165`)
* better error message when an exporter is disabled (:issue:`3358`)
* scrapy shell --help mentions syntax required for local files (./file.html) - :issue:`3496`.
* Referer header value is added to RFPDupeFilter log messages (:issue:`3588`) + Bug fixes
* fixed issue with extra blank lines in .csv exports under Windows (:issue:`3039`)
* proper handling of pickling errors in Python 3 when serializing objects for disk queues (:issue:`3082`)
* flags are now preserved when copying Requests (:issue:`3342`)
* FormRequest.from_response clickdata shouldn\'t ignore elements with input[type=image] (:issue:`3153`).
* FormRequest.from_response should preserve duplicate keys (:issue:`3247`) + Documentation improvements
* Docs are re-written to suggest .get/.getall API instead of .extract/.extract_first. Also, :ref:`topics-selectors` docs are updated and re-structured to match latest parsel docs; they now contain more topics, such as :ref:`selecting- attributes` or :ref:`topics-selectors-css-extensions` (:issue:`3390`).
* :ref:`topics-developer-tools` is a new tutorial which replaces old Firefox and Firebug tutorials (:issue:`3400`).
* SCRAPY_PROJECT environment variable is documented (:issue:`3518`)
* troubleshooting section is added to install instructions (:issue:`3517`)
* improved links to beginner resources in the tutorial (:issue:`3367`, :issue:`3468`)
* fixed :setting:`RETRY_HTTP_CODES` default values in docs (:issue:`3335`)
* remove unused DEPTH_STATS option from docs (:issue:`3245`)
* other cleanups (:issue:`3347`, :issue:`3350`, :issue:`3445`, :issue:`3544`, :issue:`3605`). + Deprecation removals + Compatibility shims for pre-1.0 Scrapy module names are removed (:issue:`3318`):

* Thu Jun 02 2016 jacobwinskiAATTgmail.com- Update to 1.1.0
* Most important features and bug fixes: + Scrapy 1.1 has beta Python 3 support (requires Twisted >= 15.5). See Beta Python 3 Support for more details and some limitations. + Hot new features: - Item loaders now support nested loaders (issue 1467). - FormRequest.from_response improvements (issue 1382, issue 1137). - Added setting AUTOTHROTTLE_TARGET_CONCURRENCY and improved AutoThrottle docs (issue 1324). - Added response.text to get body as unicode (issue 1730). - Anonymous S3 connections (issue 1358). - Deferreds in downloader middlewares (issue 1473). This enables better robots.txt handling (issue 1471). - HTTP caching now follows RFC2616 more closely, added settings HTTPCACHE_ALWAYS_STORE and HTTPCACHE_IGNORE_RESPONSE_CACHE_CONTROLS (issue 1151). - Selectors were extracted to the parsel library (issue 1409). This means you can use Scrapy Selectors without Scrapy and also upgrade the selectors engine without needing to upgrade Scrapy. - HTTPS downloader now does TLS protocol negotiation by default, instead of forcing TLS 1.0. You can also set the SSL/TLS method using the new DOWNLOADER_CLIENT_TLS_METHOD. + These bug fixes may require your attention: - Don’t retry bad requests (HTTP 400) by default (issue 1289). If you need the old behavior, add 400 to RETRY_HTTP_CODES. - Fix shell files argument handling (issue 1710, issue 1550). If you try scrapy shell index.html it will try to load the URL http://index.html, use scrapy shell ./index.html to load a local file. - Robots.txt compliance is now enabled by default for newly-created projects (issue 1724). Scrapy will also wait for robots.txt to be downloaded before proceeding with the crawl (issue 1735). If you want to disable this behavior, update ROBOTSTXT_OBEY in settings.py file after creating a new project. - Exporters now work on unicode, instead of bytes by default (issue 1080). If you use PythonItemExporter, you may want to update your code to disable binary mode which is now deprecated. - Accept XML node names containing dots as valid (issue 1533). - When uploading files or images to S3 (with FilesPipeline or ImagesPipeline), the default ACL policy is now “private” instead of “public” Warning: backwards incompatible!. You can use FILES_STORE_S3_ACL to change it. - We’ve reimplemented canonicalize_url() for more correct output, especially for URLs with non-ASCII characters (issue 1947). This could change link extractors output compared to previous scrapy versions. This may also invalidate some cache entries you could still have from pre-1.1 runs. Warning: backwards incompatible!.
* Beta Python 3 Support with the following limitations: + Scrapy has not been tested on Windows with Python 3 + Sending emails is not supported + FTP download handler is not supported + Telnet console is not supported
* Additional New Features and Enhancements: + Scrapy now has a Code of Conduct (issue 1681). + Command line tool now has completion for zsh (issue 934). + Improvements to scrapy shell: - Support for bpython and configure preferred Python shell via SCRAPY_PYTHON_SHELL (issue 1100, issue 1444). - Support URLs without scheme (issue 1498) Warning: backwards incompatible! - Bring back support for relative file path (issue 1710, issue 1550). + Added MEMUSAGE_CHECK_INTERVAL_SECONDS setting to change default check interval (issue 1282). + Download handlers are now lazy-loaded on first request using their scheme (issue 1390, issue 1421). + HTTPS download handlers do not force TLS 1.0 anymore; instead, OpenSSL’s SSLv23_method()/TLS_method() is used allowing to try negotiating with the remote hosts the highest TLS protocol version it can (issue 1794, issue 1629). + RedirectMiddleware now skips the status codes from handle_httpstatus_list on spider attribute or in Request‘s meta key (issue 1334, issue 1364, issue 1447). + Form submission: - now works with elements too (issue 1469). - an empty string is now used for submit buttons without a value (issue 1472) + Dict-like settings now have per-key priorities (issue 1135, issue 1149 and issue 1586). + Sending non-ASCII emails (issue 1662) + CloseSpider and SpiderState extensions now get disabled if no relevant setting is set (issue 1723, issue 1725). + Added method ExecutionEngine.close (issue 1423). + Added method CrawlerRunner.create_crawler (issue 1528). + Scheduler priority queue can now be customized via SCHEDULER_PRIORITY_QUEUE (issue 1822). + .pps links are now ignored by default in link extractors (issue 1835). + temporary data folder for FTP and S3 feed storages can be customized using a new FEED_TEMPDIR setting (issue 1847). + FilesPipeline and ImagesPipeline settings are now instance attributes instead of class attributes, enabling spider-specific behaviors (issue 1891). + JsonItemExporter now formats opening and closing square brackets on their own line (first and last lines of output file) (issue 1950). + If available, botocore is used for S3FeedStorage, S3DownloadHandler and S3FilesStore (issue 1761, issue 1883). + Tons of documentation updates and related fixes (issue 1291, issue 1302, issue 1335, issue 1683, issue 1660, issue 1642, issue 1721, issue 1727, issue 1879). + Other refactoring, optimizations and cleanup (issue 1476, issue 1481, issue 1477, issue 1315, issue 1290, issue 1750, issue 1881).
* Deprecations and Removals: + Added to_bytes and to_unicode, deprecated str_to_unicode and unicode_to_str functions (issue 778). + binary_is_text is introduced, to replace use of isbinarytext (but with inverse return value) (issue 1851) + The optional_features set has been removed (issue 1359). + The --lsprof command line option has been removed (issue 1689). Warning: backward incompatible, but doesn’t break user code. + The following datatypes were deprecated (issue 1720): - scrapy.utils.datatypes.MultiValueDictKeyError - scrapy.utils.datatypes.MultiValueDict - scrapy.utils.datatypes.SiteNode + The previously bundled scrapy.xlib.pydispatch library was deprecated and replaced by pydispatcher.
* Relocations: + telnetconsole was relocated to extensions/ (issue 1524). - Note: telnet is not enabled on Python 3 (https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/pull/1524#issuecomment-146985595)
* Bugfixes: + Scrapy does not retry requests that got a HTTP 400 Bad Request response anymore (issue 1289). Warning: backwards incompatible! + Support empty password for http_proxy config (issue 1274). + Interpret application/x-json as TextResponse (issue 1333). + Support link rel attribute with multiple values (issue 1201). + Fixed scrapy.http.FormRequest.from_response when there is a tag (issue 1564). + Fixed TEMPLATES_DIR handling (issue 1575). + Various FormRequest fixes (issue 1595, issue 1596, issue 1597). + Makes _monkeypatches more robust (issue 1634). + Fixed bug on XMLItemExporter with non-string fields in items (issue 1738). + Fixed startproject command in OS X (issue 1635). + Fixed PythonItemExporter and CSVExporter for non-string item types (issue 1737). + Various logging related fixes (issue 1294, issue 1419, issue 1263, issue 1624, issue 1654, issue 1722, issue 1726 and issue 1303). + Fixed bug in utils.template.render_templatefile() (issue 1212). + sitemaps extraction from robots.txt is now case-insensitive (issue 1902). + HTTPS+CONNECT tunnels could get mixed up when using multiple proxies to same remote host (issue 1912).- Update to 1.0.6
