Scrapy 0.7 release candidate is available!
Pablo Hoffman
I'm very pleased to announce the first release candidate of Scrapy 0.7 - our
first stable release!.
Let's give it a good testing to make 0.7 as good as possible.
You can download the tarball from the main site (a Windows installer is also
available):
In the following days we'll be splitting the documentation (dev/stable) and
creating the 0.8 branch, along with fixing the bugs reported in the 0.7 release
candidate. The plan is to release 0.7 final in a week or two, unless too many
critical bugs arise (hopefully not), in which case we'll release a second
candidate.
Finally, a huge thanks to everyone who made this possible and to Mydeco for
sponsoring a major part of its development. Also, the community feedback and
bug reporting has been very useful for getting us here. For me, personally, it
has been a very challenging, and equally rewarding journey (of almost two years
now). I am confident that we're releasing the best screen scraping framework
currently available for Python.
Pablo.
