- Selectors were extracted to the parsel library (:issue:`1409`). This means you can use Scrapy Selectors without Scrapy and also upgrade the selectors engine without needing to upgrade Scrapy.
  
  System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 26); backlink
  
  Unknown interpreted text role "issue".

  Unknown interpreted text role "setting".
These bug fixes may require your attention:

  Unknown interpreted text role "issue".
  
  System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 35); backlink
  
  Unknown interpreted text role "setting".
- Fix shell files argument handling (:issue:`1710`, :issue:`1550`). If you try scrapy shell index.html it will try to load the URL http://index.html, use scrapy shell ./index.html to load a local file.
  
  System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 37); backlink
  
  Unknown interpreted text role "issue".
  
  System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 37); backlink
  
  Unknown interpreted text role "issue".
- Robots.txt compliance is now enabled by default for newly-created projects (:issue:`1724`). Scrapy will also wait for robots.txt to be downloaded before proceeding with the crawl (:issue:`1735`). If you want to disable this behavior, update :setting:`ROBOTSTXT_OBEY` in settings.py file after creating a new project.
  
  System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 40); backlink
  
  Unknown interpreted text role "issue".
  
  System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 40); backlink
  
  Unknown interpreted text role "issue".
  
  System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 40); backlink
  
  Unknown interpreted text role "setting".
- Exporters now work on unicode, instead of bytes by default (:issue:`1080`). If you use PythonItemExporter, you may want to update your code to disable binary mode which is now deprecated.
  
  System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 45); backlink
  
  Unknown interpreted text role "issue".
- Accept XML node names containing dots as valid (:issue:`1533`).
  
  System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 48); backlink
  
  Unknown interpreted text role "issue".
- When uploading files or images to S3 (with FilesPipeline or ImagesPipeline), the default ACL policy is now "private" instead of "public" Warning: backwards incompatible!. You can use :setting:`FILES_STORE_S3_ACL` to change it.

  Unknown interpreted text role "setting".

Beta Python 3 Support

We have been hard at work to make Scrapy run on Python 3. As a result, now you can run spiders on Python 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 (Twisted >= 15.5 required). Some features are still missing (and some may never be ported).

Almost all builtin extensions/middlewares are expected to work. However, we are aware of some limitations in Python 3:

Scrapy doesn't work yet in Windows with Python 3 (non-Python 3 ported Twisted dependency)
Sending emails is not supported (non-Python 3 ported Twisted dependency)
FTP download handler is not supported (non-Python 3 ported Twisted dependency)
Telnet is not supported (non-Python 3 ported Twisted dependency)
Scrapy has problems handling non-ASCII URLs in Python 3

Additional New Features and Enhancements

Scrapy now has a Code of Conduct (:issue:`1681`).

Support for returning dictionaries in spiders

Declaring and returning Scrapy Items is no longer necessary to collect the scraped data from your spider, you can now return explicit dictionaries instead.

Classic version

class MyItem(scrapy.Item):
    url = scrapy.Field()

class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
    def parse(self, response):
        return MyItem(url=response.url)

New version

class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
    def parse(self, response):
        return {'url': response.url}

Per-spider settings (GSoC 2014)

Last Google Summer of Code project accomplished an important redesign of the mechanism used for populating settings, introducing explicit priorities to override any given setting. As an extension of that goal, we included a new level of priority for settings that act exclusively for a single spider, allowing them to redefine project settings.

Start using it by defining a :attr:`~scrapy.spiders.Spider.custom_settings` class variable in your spider:

Unknown interpreted text role "attr".

class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
    custom_settings = {
        "DOWNLOAD_DELAY": 5.0,
        "RETRY_ENABLED": False,
    }

Python Logging

Scrapy 1.0 has moved away from Twisted logging to support Python built in’s as default logging system. We’re maintaining backward compatibility for most of the old custom interface to call logging functions, but you’ll get warnings to switch to the Python logging API entirely.

Old version

from scrapy import log
log.msg('MESSAGE', log.INFO)

New version

import logging
logging.info('MESSAGE')

Logging with spiders remains the same, but on top of the :meth:`~scrapy.spiders.Spider.log` method you’ll have access to a custom :attr:`~scrapy.spiders.Spider.logger` created for the spider to issue log events:

Unknown interpreted text role "meth".

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 338); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "attr".

class MySpider(scrapy.Spider):
    def parse(self, response):
        self.logger.info('Response received')

Crawler API refactoring (GSoC 2014)

Another milestone for last Google Summer of Code was a refactoring of the internal API, seeking a simpler and easier usage. Check new core interface in: :ref:`topics-api`

System Message: ERROR/3 (<stdin>, line 354); backlink

Unknown interpreted text role "ref".

A common situation where you will face these changes is while running Scrapy from scripts. Here’s a quick example of how to run a Spider manually with the new API:

from scrapy.crawler import CrawlerProcess

process = CrawlerProcess({
    'USER_AGENT': 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)'
})
process.crawl(MySpider)
process.start()

Bear in mind this feature is still under development and its API may change until it reaches a stable status.

Module Relocations

There’s been a large rearrangement of modules trying to improve the general structure of Scrapy. Main changes were separating various subpackages into new projects and dissolving both scrapy.contrib and scrapy.contrib_exp into top level packages. Backward compatibility was kept among internal relocations, while importing deprecated modules expect warnings indicating their new place.

These extensions went through some minor changes, e.g. some setting names were changed. Please check the documentation in each new repository to get familiar with the new usage.
