All checks with the internal check technology or downloads are now executed in separate processes, hanging downloads or winsock operations will no longer cause side effects in the main application. This improves stability, especially when WebSite-Watcher is running 24/7. Tons of internal code reviews, improvements and performance optimizations. Especially when processing larger pages which can be multiple times faster now. Browser-Engine: Text-View. This engine displays the page content in a very simplified text version. It does not load the overhead of the Chromium browser and uses fewer resources and memory. Can be used if you run WebSite-Watcher 24/7 on a server and do not use the internal browser to read bookmarks. (Main menu + Tools + Browser-Engine). New command line option: /NoBrowser - Does not load the Chromium browser and uses an alternative, lightweight text view instead. Recommended if you are only starting WebSite-Watcher to perform a check run. Check technology Browser/Chromium and Browser/Edge: New option "Simulate user interaction". You can activate this option if a page requires user interaction (e.g. keyboard input or mouse movements) in order to load correctly. Only activate this option if necessary, as the page will take longer to load in this case. Bookmark action "Add to LWA": new option "Delete pages when bookmark is deleted". If this option is activated and you delete a bookmark in WSW, all archived pages of this bookmark are also automatically deleted in LWA. Chromium Macros improved: More steps can be recorded Edge Macros improved: More steps can be recorded Plugins: The function "ExecuteAndWait" introduces a maximum timeout of 300 seconds (5 minutes). If the executed program is not finished after 300 seconds, then the result of this function is -1 and the and the execution of the plugin is continued. However, the specified program continues to run and is not terminated by WebSite-Watcher. Plugins: Ab |
| WebSite-Watcher 2010 2025 (25.0) Jan 31, 2025 | New bookmark action "Scraper": The Scraper action will extract content and structured data from a monitored page and save it to a file on your hard disk. Output formats are XML, CSV or a tab delimited file. (this feature is only available in the Business Edition) |
