Adds a new ScrapingMode enum to allow switching between BeautifulSoup and LXML parsing.
LXML mode offers 10-20x better performance for large HTML documents.
Key changes:
- Added ScrapingMode enum with BEAUTIFULSOUP and LXML options
- Implemented LXMLWebScrapingStrategy class
- Added LXML-based metadata extraction
- Updated documentation with scraping mode usage and performance considerations
- Added cssselect dependency
BREAKING CHANGE: None
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.
- Fix crawler text mode for improved performance; cover missing `srcset` and `data_srcset` attributes in image tags.
- Introduced Managed Browsers for enhanced crawling experience.
- Updated documentation for clearer navigation on configuration.
- Changed 'text_only' to 'text_mode' in configuration and methods.
- Improved performance and relevance in content filtering strategies.
- Introduced new configuration classes: BrowserConfig and CrawlerRunConfig.
- Refactored AsyncWebCrawler to leverage the new configuration system for cleaner parameter management.
- Updated AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy for better flexibility and reduced legacy parameters.
- Improved error handling with detailed context extraction during exceptions.
- Enhanced overall maintainability and usability of the web crawler.
- Introduced new async crawl strategy with session management.
- Added BrowserManager for improved browser management.
- Enhanced documentation, focusing on storage state and usage examples.
- Improved error handling and logging for sessions.
- Added JavaScript snippets for customizing navigator properties.
- Introduced the PruningContentFilter for better content relevance.
- Implemented comprehensive unit tests for verification of functionality.
- Enhanced existing BM25ContentFilter tests for edge case coverage.
- Updated documentation to include usage examples for new filter.
- Updated version to 0.3.743
- Improved ManagedBrowser configuration with dynamic host/port
- Implemented fast HTML formatting in web crawler
- Enhanced markdown generation with a new generator class
- Improved sanitization and utility functions
- Added contributor details and pull request acknowledgments
- Updated documentation for clearer usage scenarios
- Adjusted tests to reflect class name changes
- Another thing this commit introduces is the concept of the Relevance Content Filter. This is an improvement over Fit Markdown. This class of strategies aims to extract the main content from a given page - the part that really matters and is useful to be processed. One strategy has been created using the BM25 algorithm, which finds chunks of text from the web page relevant to its title, descriptions, and keywords, or supports a given user query and matches them. The result is then returned to the main engine to be converted to Markdown. Plans include adding approaches using language models as well.
- The cache database was updated to hold information about response headers and downloaded files.
- Implement smart_wait function in AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy
- Add screenshot support to AsyncCrawlResponse and AsyncWebCrawler
- Improve error handling and timeout management in crawling process
- Fix typo in CrawlResult model (responser_headers -> response_headers)
- Update .gitignore to exclude additional files
- Adjust import path in test_basic_crawling.py
