urlwatch 2.27 and 2.28 released

2023-05-03


Two new versions of urlwatch are available, one fixing Python 3.11 compatibility for the "old" browser job backend (pyppetteer), and one migrating to the new Playwright backend, which is still maintained and simpler to use.

If you use urlwatch, please consider becoming a sponsor on Github.
