1.4.0

Added

• Add item_url and log_url to the response from the listjobs.json webservice. (@mxdev88)
• Scrapy 2.8 support. Scrapyd sets LOG_FILE and FEEDS command-line arguments, instead of SCRAPY_LOG_FILE and SCRAPY_FEED_URI environment variables.
• Python 3.11 support.
• Python 3.12 support. Use packaging.version.Version instead of distutils.LooseVersion. (@pawelmhm)

Changed

• Rename environment variables to avoid spurious Scrapy deprecation warnings.

  • SCRAPY_EGG_VERSION to SCRAPYD_EGG_VERSION
  • SCRAPY_FEED_URI to SCRAPYD_FEED_URI
  • SCRAPY_JOB to SCRAPYD_JOB
  • SCRAPY_LOG_FILE to SCRAPYD_LOG_FILE
  • SCRAPY_SLOT to SCRAPYD_SLOT
  • SCRAPY_SPIDER to SCRAPYD_SPIDER

Fixed

• Print Scrapyd's version instead of Twisted's version with --version (-v) flag. (@niuguy)
