BREAKING CHANGE: Documentation structure has been significantly reorganized
- Fix JsonCssExtractionStrategy._get_elements to return all matching elements instead of just one
- Add robust error handling to page_need_scroll with default fallback
- Improve JSON extraction strategies documentation
- Refactor content scraping strategy
- Update version to 0.4.247
- Replace explicit package listing with setuptools.find
- Include all crawl4ai.* packages automatically
- Use `packages = {find = {where = ["."], include = ["crawl4ai*"]}}` syntax
- Bump version to 0.4.243
This change simplifies package maintenance by automatically discovering
all subpackages under crawl4ai namespace instead of listing them manually.
- Added markdown generator parameter to CrawlerRunConfig in `async_configs.py`.
- Implemented logic for Markdown generation in content scraping in `async_webcrawler.py`.
- Updated version number to 0.4.21 in `__version__.py`.
### New Features:
- **Text-Only Mode**: Added support for text-only crawling by disabling images, JavaScript, GPU, and other non-essential features.
- **Light Mode**: Optimized browser settings to reduce resource usage and improve efficiency during crawling.
- **Dynamic Viewport Adjustment**: Automatically adjusts viewport dimensions based on content size, ensuring accurate rendering and scaling.
- **Full Page Scanning**: Introduced a feature to scroll and capture dynamic content for pages with infinite scroll or lazy-loading elements.
- **Session Management**: Added `create_session` method for creating and managing browser sessions with unique IDs.
### Improvements:
- Unified viewport handling across contexts by dynamically setting dimensions using `self.viewport_width` and `self.viewport_height`.
- Enhanced logging and error handling for viewport adjustments, page scanning, and content evaluation.
- Reduced resource usage with additional browser flags for both `light_mode` and `text_only` configurations.
- Improved handling of cookies, headers, and proxies in session creation.
### Refactoring:
- Removed hardcoded viewport dimensions and replaced them with dynamic configurations.
- Cleaned up unused and commented-out code for better readability and maintainability.
- Introduced defaults for frequently used parameters like `delay_before_return_html`.
### Fixes:
- Resolved potential inconsistencies in viewport handling.
- Improved robustness of content loading and dynamic adjustments to avoid failures and timeouts.
### Docs Update:
- Updated schema usage in `quickstart_async.py` example:
- Changed `OpenAIModelFee.schema()` to `OpenAIModelFee.model_json_schema()` for compatibility.
- Enhanced LLM extraction instruction documentation.
