Version 0.5 landed on 17 October 2026 and, in the project&rsquo;s own words, &ldquo;upgrades almost everything: fetching, parsing, spiders, browser automation, AI tools, and docs in ten languages&rdquo;, accompanied by a warning that &ldquo;this release introduces a lot of breaking changes that don&rsquo;t fit here&rdquo;.</p> <p>Three claims in that release are worth measuring rather than repeating: that the parser is dramatically faster than its rivals, that adaptive element tracking survives site redesigns, and that the browser fetcher is stealthy. All three can be tested on a single 2-vCPU Linux box in under an hour, so I did.</p>
