Wombat v2.0.0 Release Notes

  • This version contains some breaking changes (not backwards compatible), most notably to for_each that is now specified through the option :iterator and nested block parameters that are gone.

    • Added syntactic sugar methods Wombat.scrape and Crawler#scrape that alias to their respective crawl method implementation;
    • Gem internals suffered big refactoring, removed code duplication;
    • DSL syntax simplified for nested properties. Now the nested block takes no arguments;
    • DSL syntax changed for iterated properties. Iterators can now be named just like other properties and won't be automatically named as iterator#{i} anymore. Specified through the :iterator option;
    • Crawler#list_page is now called Crawler#path;
    • Added new :follow property type that crawls links in pages.
