This release has just one change–we’ve added a session.setUseServerCharacterSet( boolean useServerCharacterSet ) method. In cases of sites that use international character sets this can save you a bit of trouble determining which character set the scraping session should use. That said, our experience has been that web servers don’t always tell the truth in terms of which character set their pages use, so it’s still nice to be able to specify it.

Queue the applause. Judging by the release notes for this one, I can honestly say we’ve put a lot into it. I wouldn’t say that there are many earth-shattering updates in this version, but there are scads of little feature enhancements and fixes. As usual, the upgrade is free to licensed users. Enjoy!
