I waited too long between releases! I think most users have been building from this repo, but I am hoping to keep the actual releases from lagging this much in the future.
What's Changed
Instead of a huge bulleted list of PRs, I'm going to pull together the changes by category.
- Outlets fixed: A few issues with McKinsey, New Yorker, Guardian, Daily Beast, and Crossword Club have been fixed! If you're having issues with one of those, try this latest version.
- Outlets added: Puzzmo and Daily Pop are now available with keywords
pzmandpop, respectively - Outlet removed: Alas, I've had to pull Wall Street Journal for now, as they've ramped up the anti-automation tech on the site. Tracking this issue in #178, suggestions welcome.
- Outlet removed: I've also removed the Modern as it is now behind a paywall. Puzzle Society is a great subscription, and I recommend it! Hopefully will figure out a way to authenticate for subscribers, as we do with the NYT.
- New feature: Improved emoji handling and a new command line option
--preserve-htmlto leave source HTML intact. The default remains converting it to markdown, but now you can choose not to. - New feature: It's now possible to pass arbitrary settings at the command line. This is probably not useful for anybody but me, but it might open up some fun options in the future.
- Behind the scenes: All dependencies bumped to latest versions
- Behind the scenes: I'm now running a GitHub Action to check that
xword-dlbuilds successfully and can download a puzzle from a bunch of different outlets (and with a bunch of different characteristics) on each PR and also daily. This has already helped me catch changes on the site end, and should help prevent regressions on existing downloaders.
