shot-scraper 1.11

This article announces the release of shot-scraper 1.11, a command-line utility for taking screenshots of websites, recording video demos, and scraping sites using JavaScript. Key improvements include enhanced command option consistency, a 30-second server wait time for port availability instead of a fixed one-second delay, and a new --js-file option for loading JavaScript from local files, standard input, or GitHub scripts. The shot-scraper multi command now supports a js_file YAML key, and the javascript and html commands have a new --timeout option for consistency.
