Release notes for coursera-dl
I'd like to announce version 0.5.2 of coursera-dl.
This is the first version for which we ever had a more formal release
announcement, so bear with me for any missteps.
What's new and improved with coursera-dl 0.5.x
- Added ability to download subtitles in all languages for a given course.
- Transparent support for "New Platform" (aka on-demand) courses, including
grabbing presentations and any other extra material that the course
instructors choose to make available to new users.
- Added ability to select (subject to availability) the resolution of the
videos to be downloaded: 360p, 540p (default), and 720p.
- Full support for Python 2 and Python 3 (and used by me personally with
Python 3.5).
- A new logo!
- Improved test suite for the program.
- Continued improvement to the modularization of the program (which makes
easier to maintain the code).
- Excellent new contributors, with strong knowledge! Please see them all by
visiting: https://github.com/coursera-dl/coursera-dl/graphs/contributors
- Fun fact: we broke the barrier of 2900 stars and 1000 forks on GitHub!
How to install or update
Simply run:
pip3 install --upgrade --user coursera
Note: If you don't have pip3/Python 3 installed, just use pip
instead.
Important Note: Yes, while the program is called coursera-dl, to install
the package you need to use coursera like above, not coursera-dl. This
is very important!
Reporting issues
If you have any issues the the program, please report them with as many
details as possible at: https://github.com/coursera-dl/coursera-dl/issues
On behalf of all the amazing contributors,
