- Update to 2.22:
Added:
* Added 'wait_until' option to browser jobs to configure how long
the headless browser will wait for pages to load.
* Jobs now have an optional treat_new_as_changed (default false)
key that can be set, and will treat newly-found pages as changed,
and display a diff from the empty string (useful for diff_tool
or diff_filter with side effects)
* New reporters: discord, mattermost
* New key user_visible_url for URL jobs that can be used to show a
different URL in reports (useful if the watched URL is a REST API
endpoint, but the report should link to the corresponding web page)
* The Markdown reporter now supports limiting the report length via
the max_length parameter of the submit method. The length limiting
logic is smart in the sense that it will try trimming the details first,
followed by omitting them completely, followed by omitting the summary.
If a part of the report is omitted, a note about this is added to the
report. (PR#572, by Denis Kasak)
Changed:
* Diff output is now generated more uniformly, independent of whether
the input data has a trailing newline or not; if this behavior is not
intended, use an external diff_tool (PR#550, by Adam Goldsmith)
* The --test-diff-filter output now properly reports timestamps from the
history entry instead of the current date and time (Fixes #573)
* Unique GUIDs for jobs are now enforced at load time, append "#1",
"#2", ... to the URLs to make them unique if you have multiple different
jobs that share the same request URL (Fixes #586)
* When a config, urls file or hooks file does not exist and should be
edited or inited, its parent folders will be created (previously only
the urlwatch configuration folder was created; Fixes #594)
