0.9.0 (2017-05-25)

Features:

• Default arguments are loaded from coursera-dl.conf file
• Added option --mathjax-cdn <MATHJAX_CDN> to specify alternative MathJax CDN
• Added support for Resources section

0.8.0 (2016-10-04)

Features:

• Add --download-delay option that adds a specified delay in seconds before downloading next course. This is useful when downloading many courses at once. Default value is 60 seconds.
• Add --only-syllabus option which is when activated, allows to skip download of the course content. Only syllabus is parsed.
• Add support for reflect and mcqReflect question types in quizzes.
• Courses that encountered an error while parsing syllabus will be listed in the end of the program execution, after all courses have been processed (hopefully, downloaded). This helps skip vast output and easily see which courses need user's attention, e.g. enrollment, session switching or just patience until the course start date.

Bugfixes:

• Locked programming assignments in syllabus used to crash coursera-dl. Now the script goes on parsing syllabus and skips locked assignments.
• Add missing import statement to playlist generation module

• Added option --cache-syllabus to avoid downloading course syllabus on every run (this option is rather for developers)

Bugfixes:

• Locked lectures are also requested from server now, which allows to download some programming assignments that were not downloaded before (#555)

Deletions:

• Support for old-style courses has been removed (Coursera discontinued old courses: http://coursera.tumblr.com/post/145882467032/courseras-transition-to-a-new-technology-platform)
• --ignore-http-errors option has been removed and the default behavior has been adjusted to include this option
