Notes:
This is the first ever public release of scRUBYt!. The stuff is in a pre-alpha state, so this release is more for myself (to try and test rubyforge, gems, etc) rather than to the community, yet - however also the 'real first public' release should follow in a few days :-)
Changes:
= 0.1
=== 15th January, 2007
Fairly nice set of features, but still need a lot of testing and stabilizing before it will be really usable.
Navigation:
fetching pages
clicking links
filling input fields
submitting forms
Scraping:
- Fairly powerful DSL to describe the full scraping process
- Automatic navigation with WWW::Mechanize
- Automatic scraping through examples with Hpricot
- automatic recursive scraping through the next button
If you don't understand everything from this, don't worry - I will write a series of tutorials explaining everything!
