0.10.0

• Removed official support for Python 3.7 and 3.8, and added official support for Python 3.12 and 3.13.

• Added support for Scrapy 2.12+.

  This includes deprecating SplashAwareDupeFilter and SplashAwareFSCacheStorage in favor of the corresponding built-in, default Scrapy components, and instead using the new SplashRequestFingerprinter component to ensure request fingerprinting for Splash requests stays the same, now for every Scrapy component doing request fingerprinting and not only for duplicate filtering and HTTP caching.

0.9.0

• Removed official support for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6, and added official
  support for Python 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11.

• Deprecated SplashJsonResponse.body_as_unicode(), to be replaced by
  SplashJsonResponse.text.

• Removed calls to obsolete to_native_str, removed in Scrapy 2.8.

0.8.0

• Security bug fix:

  If you use HttpAuthMiddleware (i.e. the http_user and http_pass spider attributes) for Splash authentication, any non-Splash request will expose your credentials to the request target. This includes robots.txt requests sent by Scrapy when the ROBOTSTXT_OBEY setting is set to True.

  Use the new SPLASH_USER and SPLASH_PASS settings instead to set your Splash authentication credentials safely.

• Responses now expose the HTTP status code and headers from Splash as response.splash_response_status and response.splash_response_headers (#158)

• The meta argument passed to the scrapy_splash.request.SplashRequest constructor is no longer modified (#164)

• Website responses with 400 or 498 as HTTP status code are no longer handled as the equivalent Splash responses (#158)

• Cookies are no longer sent to Splash itself (#156)

• scrapy_splash.utils.dict_hash now also works with obj=None (225793b)

• Our test suite now includes integration tests (#156) and tests can be run in parallel (6fb8c41)

• There’s a new ‘Getting help’ section in the README.rst file (#161, #162), the documentation about SPLASH_SLOT_POLICY has been improved (#157) and a typo as been fixed (#121)

• Made some internal improvements (ee5000d, 25de545, 2aaa79d)
