Add support for checking and respecting robots.txt rules before crawling websites:
- Implement RobotsParser class with SQLite caching
- Add check_robots_txt parameter to CrawlerRunConfig
- Integrate robots.txt checking in AsyncWebCrawler
- Update documentation with robots.txt compliance examples
- Add tests for robot parser functionality
The cache uses WAL mode for better concurrency and has a default TTL of 7 days.
Add comprehensive documentation for the new streaming mode feature in arun_many():
- Update arun_many() API docs to reflect streaming return type
- Add streaming examples in quickstart and multi-url guides
- Document stream parameter in configuration classes
- Add clone() helper method documentation for configs
This change improves documentation for processing large numbers of URLs efficiently.
Reorganize dispatcher functionality into separate components:
- Create dedicated dispatcher classes (MemoryAdaptive, Semaphore)
- Add RateLimiter for smart request throttling
- Implement CrawlerMonitor for real-time progress tracking
- Move dispatcher config from CrawlerRunConfig to separate classes
BREAKING CHANGE: Dispatcher configuration moved from CrawlerRunConfig to dedicated dispatcher classes. Users need to update their configuration approach for multi-URL crawling.
Reorganize documentation into core/advanced/extraction sections for better navigation.
Update terminal theme styles and add rich library for better CLI output.
Remove redundant tutorial files and consolidate content into core sections.
Add personal story to index page for project context.
BREAKING CHANGE: Documentation structure has been significantly reorganized

- Improved structure and readability in configuration file.
- Enhanced documentation on future capabilities in new blog entries.
Major changes:
- Add browser takeover feature using CDP for authentic browsing
- Implement Docker support with full API server documentation
- Enhance Mockdown with tag preservation system
- Improve parallel crawling performance
This release focuses on authenticity and scalability, introducing the ability
to use users' own browsers while providing containerized deployment options.
Breaking changes include modified browser handling and API response structure.
