WAIL 1.2.0-Beta2 Pre-release
Pre-release

Heritrix No Longer The Primary Crawler

WAIL has transitioned away from using Heritrix as the primary preservation method.
The Page Only, Page + Same Domain Links and Page + All Links crawls now use a full Chrome browser.
You can monitor the progress of these crawls by going to the WAIL Crawls section of the application.
For those wondering WAIL does not use WARCreate, Browsertrix, brozzler or Webrecorder or a derivation of one of these tools.

The special sauce powering these crawls has been open sourced and made available through node-warc
npm Package

WAILs browser crawls pass Mat Kellys The Archival Acid Test See #85

Heritrix based crawls are still available tho!!
WAIL provides auto configured Heritrix crawls via Heritrix Depth 1, Heritrix Depth 2 and Heritrix Depth 3 crawl options.
These will launch Heritrix crawls at the respective depth.

beta2 change

  • WAIL runs flash now. The flash plugin used by Google Chrome is packaged for each supported OS 😍
  • Upped after page load wait and scroll time (yes WAIL interacts with the page)
    in order to get more of that juicy only JavaScript content

Updates

  1. Electron has been updated to 1.7.3:
    Chrome used by Electron is now 58.0.3029.11, Node and V8 also updated.
    Userland should notice an increase in the smoothness and performance of WAIL when working with large (size and number of) collections

  2. WAIL's Page Only Crawl updated
    Thanks to the Chrome version bump in Electron 1.7.3 the Page Only Crawl
    has been transitioned away from the modified WARCreate style preservation to a full browser based crawl implementation.
    Look for more update as WAIL transitions away from relying on Heritrix to provide its Page + Same Domain and Page + All Links crawls.
    Heritix based crawls will still be available in all future releases of WAIL

  3. Twitter login through WAIL improved
    Previous releases of WAIL relied on electron-oauth-twitter.
    But userland found that it was not alway reliable so this functionality has been overhauled completely to ensure reliability.

  4. UX improvements
    Twitter Monitoring and Archiving Configuration UI has been redesigned and condensed making it easier to use this feature
    Collections Interface has been reworked making it easier to manage your collections

  5. Pywb updated
    Updated to 0.33.1 improving replay for all supported operating systems.
    Replay on Windows is now just as smooth as Linux and OSX ❤️
