🚀 New Stuff and quality of life changes

• Added a Scrapy integration so you can use Scrapling's parsing API inside your existing Scrapy projects without rewriting them. Put the scrapling_response decorator on any spider callback, and the response it receives becomes a Scrapling Response while Scrapy keeps handling the crawling (Check the docs):

  import scrapy
  from scrapling.integrations.scrapy import scrapling_response
  
  
  class QuotesSpider(scrapy.Spider):
      name = "quotes"
      start_urls = ["https://quotes.toscrape.com"]
  
      @scrapling_response
      def parse(self, response):  # `response` is now a Scrapling Response
          first_quote = response.find_by_text("The world as we have created it", partial=True)
          for quote in [first_quote, *first_quote.find_similar()]:
              yield {"text": quote.get_all_text(strip=True)}
  

• The MCP server can now use a custom Chromium-compatible browser for all browser-based tools. Set it once with scrapling mcp --executable-path "/path/to/chromium" or the SCRAPLING_EXECUTABLE_PATH environment variable, or per request with the executable_path argument, by @samrusani in #360 (Solves #347)

• Updated all browsers and fingerprints. Run scrapling install --force after updating to refresh them.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed garbled text (mojibake) from browser fetchers on non-UTF-8 websites by @yehudalevy-collab in #365 (Fixes #364).
• Fixed LinkExtractor not filtering compound file extensions like .tar.gz by @renbkna in #359 (Fixes #349).
• Fixed paused crawls losing their in-flight requests from checkpoints, so resuming no longer skips them by @yetval in #358.
• Fixed spiders calculating wrong crawl delays from robots.txt Request-rate directives through the Protego upgrade, with tests aligned by @Disaster-Terminator in #355.

Docs

• Clarified how init_script interacts with Patchright's isolated execution context in stealth mode by @mturac in #353 (Solves #350).
• Added the skills.sh install method for the agent skill by @ob-aion in #363.
