[New release] wallabag 2.2. Finally.

28 January 2017

With almost 4 months delay, our new version, wallabag 2.2, is here. We originally planned to release it on October 3rd, 2016. Don’t worry, we didn’t go on holiday. We kept working hard. It’s now time to present you this new great version.

What’s new?

Account managemenent

In wallabag 2.1, we gave you the possibility to manage your users.

In wallabag 2.2, we now give you the possibility to reset and delete your own account.

On the configuration screen of your account, in the user information tab, you now have a danger zone. Take care, these actions are IRREVERSIBLE.

Features developed by tcitworld and j0k3r in #2177 and #2401

API

Two useful enhancements for developers: annotations and entries export are now available in the API.

Export entries

The endpoint is /api/entries/123/export.epub to export the entry 123 in epub (available formats: epub, mobi, pdf, txt, csv).

This feature is already used by Plop! reader, a wallabag application for Pocketbook Touch Lux ereaders, by pmartin.

Feature developed by pmartin in #2372

Annotations

The endpoint is api/annotations/123.json to get annotations for the entry 123.

UI changes

Sharing

You can now share your entries to unmark.it, a bookmarks manager.

Feature developed by nicosomb in #2566

Sharing to Shaarli (an other bookmarks manager) is available since wallabag 2.0. But lapineige, one of our happy users, wanted to share tags into Shaarli. So he developed this feature.

Import

In wallabag 2.1, we added many import systems: Readability, Instapaper, Firefox and Chrome.

With wallabag 2.2, you can also import your data from Pinboard.

Features

One more thing… the authentication for restricted access articles (behind a paywall)

Thanks to this feature, you can now save articles from websites who authentication is required.

This great feature is only available for advanced users, and for now the credentials are shared with all the users of an instance. We’ll add an easy to use interface in next release.

You need to edit your app/config/parameters.yml file to edit credentials for each website with paywall. Here is an example for some french websites:

sites_credentials:
    mediapart.fr: {username: "johndoe", password: "johnwho?"}

Warning : These credentials will be used for each user of your wallabag instance.

Then, the site configuration file for the website (for example, mediapart.fr.txt) must be improved:

title://h1[@class="title"]
body: //div[@class="content-article"]/div[@class="page-pane"]

requires_login: yes

login_uri: https://www.mediapart.fr/login_check
login_username_field: name
login_password_field: password

not_logged_in_xpath: //body[@class="not-logged-in"]

Please open a new issue on GitHub if you need some help about this part.
