3.6.0

1. Bootstrap upgrade from 3 to 5

Distill's UI is now built using Bootstrap 5, a major upgrade from Bootstrap 3. This upgrade will help us build a better UI for Distill. Some of the changes you will notice are:

  • Updated and more consistent UI for adding actions and conditions.
  • Using searchable dropdowns instead of select boxes in most cases the list can be long.

This upgrade also paves the way for supporting dark mode in the near future.

2. Condition Builder V2

We have introduced a simpler and more powerful way to creating conditions. It now supports Deleted Text as one of the sources of data to evaluate conditions.

Some of the new operators in V2 are:

  • starts with and ends with
  • lenght is greater than and length is less than
  • doesn't match regular expression

The classic condition builder will be available as V1 and will continue to be supported. So, existing conditions will continue to work in the future.

To switch from classic (V1) to modern (V2) and vice versa, use version selector dropdown in the condition builder.

3. Updated Import and Export views

Import and Export have been updated to export JSON as a file and import JSON from a file. When importing monitors, the JSON content can be pasted in a textarea as well.

3.5.1

1. New Feature: Crawlers and Sitemap Monitors [alpha]

Distill now offers sitemap monitoring, providing a comprehensive solution to track all URLs of a website, including hidden or dynamically generated pages. The feature uses a two-step process:

  1. Crawler: Discovers all links on a website and creates a list of crawled URLs, allowing for frequency and exclusion configurations.
  2. Monitor: Adds the crawled list of URLs for tracking. Use actions and conditions to get notified of changes.

To set up a sitemap monitor using a crawler, access the Watchlist from the Web app, click "Add Monitor -> Sitemap", and follow the setup instructions. You can exclude specific links with regular expression filters and adjust the crawling frequency according to your needs.
