Updating screen-scraper in a GUI-less environment

Often times screen-scraper will be running on a server that has no graphical interface. Updating to the latest version in such an environment previously required multiple steps, but can now be done with a simple Python script.

CSV Writer

We've created a slick new CSV writer for screen-scraper! You can find docs on it here.

REST API

screen-scraper's REST API was released in version 4.5.18a, and is documented in this blog posting.

New to screen-scraper 4.5 is the "Memory usage" indicator, which shows you how much of the memory currently allocated to screen-scraper is being used. As screen-scraper requires it, it may be allocated more memory from the underlying Java Virtual Machine, up to the amount specified in the Settings. dialog box

In the workbench, the indicator is on the far right of the main window's status bar. In the Enterprise Edition's web interface, the indicator is at the top of the page under the Import button.
