Change Log

As of this writing, in late 2020, we have issued over 400 releases. The vast majority of these releases fix a scraper so it works better on a particular court's website. When that's the case, we don't update the changelog, we simply do the change, and you can find it in the git log.

The changes below represent changes in ambition, goals, or interface. In other words, they're the ones you'll want to watch, and the others are mostly noise.

Releases are also tagged in git, if that's helpful.

    PhantomJS has not been supported for several years. Though it has served us well, the writing is on the wall that, like so many other once-useful technologies, it too had to be abandoned, only to be replaced by another tool. A tool that will be different in many ways, yet the same in its inevitable abandonment and mortality. Long live PhantomJS: Born a humble ghost; dying an immortal specter.
