<font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear all, </font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">At the end of June, we have put in production
the new version of NAS (6.0.0) with the official IIPC version of
Heritrix (</font><font size=2 face="Arial">3.4.0-20200518</font><font size=2 face="sans-serif">).
By this upgrade, we intend to improve the quality and the completeness
of our crawlings. The new version of Heritrix includes contributions done
by BnF's IT team's developers : treatment of the "data" attribute
in the pictures tags, and harvesting of the files hosted on servers secured
by SFTP, and not only on FTP servers. With the new Javascript extractor
and the inclusion of "data" attrributes, we expect a significative
amelioration in the harvesting of pictures, especially for the responsive
websites. In addition, the new version of Heritrix allows parallelization
of queues, and we expect more rapidity and completeness in the social networks
accounts harvesting, singularly Twitter. In the next weeks, we plan to
compare jobs done by the previous and the new version of Heritrix, to assess
if these improvements become a reality.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The second round of the local elections
was held on 28th of June. Since the beginning of June, our elections
crawl continues with the initial schedule again : social networks crawled
twice a day and other websites crawled twice a month. The crawling will
go on until mid-July to cover the setup of the new city councils and the
investiture of the mayors.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Best regards,</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The BnF digital legal deposit team</font><br><font face="sans-serif"><hr />
