mechanize version 2.5 has been released!

The Mechanize library is used for automating interaction with websites.
Mechanize automatically stores and sends cookies, follows redirects,
and can follow links and submit forms. Form fields can be populated and
submitted. Mechanize also keeps track of the sites that you have
visited as
a history.

=== Changes

  • Minor enhancement
    • Added Mechanize#ignore_bad_chunking for working around servers that
      don’t
      terminate chunked transfer-encoding properly. Enabling this may
      cause
      data loss. Issue #116
    • Removed content-type check from Mechanize::Page allowing forced
      parsing
      of incorrect or missing content-types. Issue #221 by GarthSnyder
  • Bug fixes
    • Fixed typos in EXAMPLES and GUIDES. Pull Request #213 by Erkan
      Yilmaz.
    • Fixed handling of a quoted content-disposition size. Pull Request
      #220 by
      Jason Rust
    • Mechanize now ignores a missing gzip footer like browsers do. Issue
      #224

      radiobuttons are checked. Issue #214 by Matthias Guenther
