v3.1.1

[3.1.1] - 2026-06-05

Added

• Bing() and DuckDuckGo() can now be instantiated with just
  (query, limit, output_dir) — adult, timeout, filter, verbose,
  and engine-specific options all have sensible defaults. This makes the
  library genuinely integrable: Bing("cat", 10, "/tmp/x") works
  without keyword arguments.
• py.typed marker shipped. Downstream mypy --strict users now get the
  type hints we test against (previously all function signatures appeared
  as Any to external type-checkers).

Changed

• brotli is now a hard runtime dependency (was an optional [duckduckgo]
  extra). DuckDuckGo's CDN returns 403 if the client can't decode Brotli,
  so the "extra" was a footgun: a fresh pip install and a ddg run
  would silently fail with no clear error.
• downloader() signature: only query is required; all 12 other
  parameters have defaults. This unblocks the common case of
  downloader("cats") in a notebook.

Removed

• [duckduckgo] optional-dependency extra — brotli is now always
  installed.
