- Introduced AsyncDatabaseManager for async DB management.
- Added migration feature to transition to file-based storage.
- Enhanced web crawler with improved caching logic.
- Updated requirements and setup for async processing.
- 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.
- Removed __del__ method in AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy to ensure reliable browser lifecycle management by using explicit context managers.
- Added process monitoring in ManagedBrowser to detect and log unexpected terminations of the browser subprocess.
- Updated Docker configuration to expose port 9222 for remote debugging and allocate extra shared memory to prevent browser crashes.
- Improved error handling and resource cleanup for browser instances, particularly in Docker environments.
Resolves Issue #256
- Implemented new async crawler strategy using Playwright.
- Introduced ManagedBrowser for better browser management.
- Added support for persistent browser sessions and improved error handling.
- Updated version from 0.3.73 to 0.3.731.
- Enhanced logic in main.py for conditional mounting of static files.
- Updated requirements to replace playwright_stealth with tf-playwright-stealth.
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.
See CHANGELOG.md for detailed migration guide.
• Add smart overlay removal system for handling popups and modals
• Improve screenshot functionality with configurable timing controls
• Implement URL normalization and enhanced link processing
• Add custom base directory support for cache storage
• Refine external content filtering and social media domain handling
This commit significantly improves the crawler's ability to handle modern
websites by automatically removing intrusive overlays and providing better
screenshot capabilities. URL handling is now more robust with proper
normalization and duplicate detection. The cache system is more flexible
with customizable base directory support.
