# Broken Link Finder Change Log ## v0.0.0 (TEMPLATE - DO NOT EDIT) ### Added - ... ### Changed/Removed - ... ### Fixed - ... --- ## v0.12.0 ### Added - `BrokenLinkFinder::link_xpath` and `link_xpath=` methods so you can customise how links are extracted from each crawled page using the API. - An `--xpath` (or just `-x`) command line flag so you can customise how links are extracted when using the command line. ### Changed/Removed - Changed the default way in which links are extracted from a page. Previously any element with a `href` or `src` attribute was extracted and checked; now only those links inside the `` are extracted and checked, ignoring the `` section entirely. You can change this behaviour back with: `BrokenLinkFinder::link_xpath = '//*/@href | //*/@src'` before you perform a crawl. Alternatively, if using the command line, use the `--xpath //*/@href | //*/@src` option. ### Fixed - [Scheme relative bug](https://github.com/michaeltelford/broken_link_finder/issues/16) by upgrading to `wgit v0.10.0`. --- ## v0.11.1 ### Added - ... ### Changed/Removed - Updated wgit gem to version 0.9.0 which contains improvements and bugs fixes. ### Fixed - ... --- ## v0.11.0 ### Added - Additional crawl statistics. - Exit code handling to executable. `0` for success, `1` for an error scenario. ### Changed/Removed - Updated the report formats slightly bringing various improvements such as the total number of links crawled etc. ### Fixed - Bug in html report, summary url is now an `` link. - Bug in `Finder@broken_link_map` URLs and `Finder#crawl_stats[:url]` URL during redirects. - Bug causing an error on crawling unparsable/invalid URL's. --- ## v0.10.0 ### Added - A `--html` flag to the `crawl` executable command which produces a HTML report (instead of text). - Added a 'retry' mechanism for any broken links found. This is essentially a verification step before generating a report. - `Finder#crawl_stats` for info such as crawl duration, total links crawled etc. ### Changed/Removed - The API has changed somewhat. See the [docs](https://www.rubydoc.info/gems/broken_link_finder) for the up to date code signatures if you're using `broken_link_finder` outside of its executable. ### Fixed - ... --- ## v0.9.5 ### Added - ... ### Changed/Removed - Now using optimistic dep versioning. - Updated `wgit` to version 0.5.1 containing improvements and bug fixes. ### Fixed - ... --- ## v0.9.4 ### Added - ... ### Changed/Removed - Updated `wgit` gem to version 0.5.0 which contains improvements and bugs fixes. ### Fixed - ... --- ## v0.9.3 ### Added - ... ### Changed/Removed - ... ### Fixed - A bug resulting in some servers dropping crawl requests from broken_link_finder. --- ## v0.9.2 ### Added - ... ### Changed/Removed - Updated `wgit` gem to version 0.4.0 which brings a speed boost to crawls. ### Fixed - ... --- ## v0.9.1 ### Added - `BrokenLinkFinder::Finder.crawl_site` alias: `crawl_r`. ### Changed/Removed - Upgraded `wgit` to v0.2.0. - Refactored the code base (no breaking changes). ### Fixed - ... --- ## v0.9.0 ### Added - The `version` command to the executable. - The `--threads` aka `-t` option to the executable's `crawl` command to control crawl speed vs. resource usage. ### Changed/Removed - Changed the default number of maximum threads for a recursive crawl from 30 to 100. Users will see a speed boost with increased resource usage as a result. This is configurable using the new `crawl` command option e.g. `--threads 30`. ### Fixed - Several bugs by updating the `wgit` dependancy. - A bug in the report logic causing an incorrect link count. --- ## v0.8.1 ### Added - ... ### Changed/Removed - ... ### Fixed - Updated `wgit` dep containing bug fixes. --- ## v0.8.0 ### Added - Logic to prevent re-crawling links for more efficiency. ### Changed/Removed - Updated the `wgit` gem which fixes a bug in `crawl_site` and adds support for IRI's. ### Fixed - Bug where an error from the executable wasn't being rescued. --- ## v0.7.0 ### Added - Added the `--verbose` flag to the executable for displaying all ignored links. - Added the `--concise` flag to the executable for displaying the broken links in summary form. - Added the `--sort-by-link` flag to the executable for displaying the broken links found and the pages containing that link (as opposed to sorting by page by default). ### Changed/Removed - Changed the **default** sorting (format) for ignored links to be summarised (much more concise) reducing noise in the reports. - Updated the `README.md` to reflect the new changes. ### Fixed - Bug where the broken/ignored links weren't being ordered consistently between runs. Now, all links are reported alphabetically. This will change existing report formats. - Bug where an anchor of `#` was being returned as broken when it shouldn't. --- ## v0.6.0 ### Added - Support for ignored links e.g. mailto's, tel's etc. The README has been updated. ### Changed/Removed - Only HTML files now have their links verified, JS files for example, do not have their contents checked. This also boosts crawl speed. - Links are now reported exactly as they appear in the HTML (for easier location after reading the reports). ### Fixed - Links with anchors aren't regarded as separate pages during a crawl anymore, thus removing duplicate reports. --- ## v0.5.0 ### Added - Anchor support is now included meaning the response HTML must include an element with an ID matching that of the anchor in the link's URL; otherwise, it's regarded as broken. Previously, there was no anchor support. - The README now includes a How It Works section detailing what constitutes a broken link. See this for more information. ### Changed/Removed - Any element with a href or src attribute is now regarded as a link. Before it was just `` elements. ### Fixed - ... ---
