Changes

0.10.0 (2024-11-07)

  • Dropped official support for Python 3.8.

  • The minimum supported versions of some dependencies have changed:

    • lxml: 4.4.1 → 4.5.2

    • scikit-learn: 0.24.0 → 1.5.0

    • scipy: 1.5.0 → 1.6.2

  • New dependencies have been added:

    • numpy ≥ 1.19.5

    • packaging ≥ 14.0

    • parsel ≥ 1.1.0

    • platformdirs ≥ 3.2.0

  • The formasaurus.utils.dependencies_string() function is now deprecated.

  • Added a new function, build_submission, to make Formasaurus easier to use.

  • Added a built-in model, so that you can use Formasaurus right away without the need to first train a model on the built-in data.

  • Changed the model serialization format, to minimize the chance of breakage due to new versions of dependencies.

    As a result, when specifying a model path, it is no longer the path to a single file, but the base path for multiple files. For example, if model is specified as file path, 2 files are created, model-field.joblib and model-form.json.

  • When building a model, if a file path is not specified, the file path used by default is now guaranteed to be user-writable.

  • Removed the need to specify the [with-deps] or [with_deps] extra when installing <install.

  • Improved the docs of formasaurus.classifiers.extract_forms().

0.9.0 (2024-06-19)

  • Dropped official support for Python 3.7 and lower, and added official support for Python 3.8 and higher.

  • Added support for the latest versions of all dependencies, and upgraded minimum supported versions of dependencies as follows:

    • docopt: 0.4.0

    • requests: 1.0.0

    • tldextract: 1.2.0

    • with-deps extra dependencies:

      • joblib: 1.2.0

      • lxml: 4.4.1

      • lxml-html-clean: 0.1.0

      • scikit-learn: 0.18.0 → 0.24.0

      • scipy: 1.5.1

      • sklearn-crfsuite: 0.3.1 → 0.5.1

  • https://github.com/scrapinghub/formasaurus is the new code repository, replacing https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/Formasaurus.

  • Updated the CI configuration and development tooling.

0.8.1 (2018-07-02)

  • Support for scikit-learn < 0.18 is dropped;

  • Formasaurus is no longer tested with Python 3.3;

  • tests are fixed to account for upstream changes; Python 3.6 build is enabled.

0.8 (2016-05-24)

  • more annotated data for captchas;

  • formasaurus init command which trains & caches the model.

0.7.2 (2016-04-18)

  • pip bug with pip install formasaurus[with-deps] is worked around; it should work now as pip install formasaurus[with_deps].

0.7.1 (2016-03-03)

  • fixed API documentation at readthedocs.org

0.7 (2016-03-03)

  • more annotated data;

  • new form_classes and field_classes attributes of FormFieldClassifer;

  • more robust web page encoding detection in formasaurus.utils.download;

  • bug fixes in annotation widgets;

0.6 (2016-01-27)

  • fields=False argument is supported in formasaurus.extract_forms, formasaurus.classify, formasaurus.classify_proba functions and in related FormFieldClassifier methods. It allows to avoid predicting form field types if they are not needed.

  • formasaurus.classifiers.instance() is renamed to formasaurus.classifiers.get_instance().

  • Bias is no longer regularized for form type classifier.

0.5 (2015-12-19)

This is a major backwards-incompatible release.

  • Formasaurus now can detect field types, not only form types;

  • API is changed - check the updated documentation;

  • there are more form types detected;

  • evaluation setup is improved;

  • annotation UI is rewritten using IPython widgets;

  • more training data is added.

0.2 (2015-08-10)

  • Python 3 support;

  • fixed model auto-creation.

0.1 (2015-07-09)

Initial release.
