Version 1.4

• Replaced the third-party modules ConfigArgParse and configfile with
  their built-in alternatives. See the merge request for details: #69

• As a result, the configuration file format has changed. See Configuration for details on migrating your configuration.

• The default value of the --cookie-file option was removed, so it has to be
  set explicitly in the configuration file for persistent authenticated session.

• The --site and --cache-dir options were removed.

• ws.checkers.ExtlinkReplacements: fixed tests, fixed replacement of
  Arch bug tracker links, added more replacements for Arch projects and other
  cases.

• ws.checkers.ExtlinkStatusChecker:

  • refactored to take the URLs from the database and save the results there
  • skip links to invalid or blacklisted domains, detect sites behind
    CloudFlare protection

• ws.checkers.ExtlinkStatusUpdater: new module which was split from
  ws.checkers.ExtlinkStatusChecker and contains the (updated) code
  for updating the status of extlinks on wiki pages.

• ws.checkers.WikilinkChecker: fixed urldecoding of section anchors,
  fixed race condition between the "Archive page" and "Broken section link"
  flags, removed some old and unnecessary workarounds.

• Simplified ws.utils.TLSAdapter using ssl_version instead of
  ssl_options.

• Many bug fixes for the ws.db module and the checkdb.py script.

• Migrated to SQLAlchemy 2.0:
  https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/changelog/migration_20.html

• The ws.db module now requires SQLAlchemy with asyncio support
  and the asyncpg driver for PostgreSQL. The synchronous interface with the
  psycopg2 driver is still used as well.

• ws.db.schema: added new tables ws_domain and ws_url_check
  for tracking the results of status checks for domains and URLs.

• New scripts:

  • delete-unused-categories.py
  • localize-templates.py
  • mark-archived-links.py
  • race.py
  • report-problems.py (previously list-problematic-pages.py, now it
    also has an automatic report page)
  • update-page-language.py

• Refactored scripts:

  • extlink-checker.py has a new required parameter --mode with two
    choices:

    1. check uses ws.checkers.ExtlinkStatusChecker which takes
       URLs from the database and checks their status, and
    2. update uses ws.checkers.ExtlinkStatusUpdater which takes
       the check results from the database and applies them on the wiki.
