🧹 Stability and Modularity

• The new modular structure means only modules selected in your config are loaded, keeping the system lightweight and more resilient — if a module you don’t need breaks, your pipeline continues to work.

• Multiple authentication strategies have been added to reduce the likelihood of platform blocking.

• The setup process now validates your config and gives detailed error messages in the output log.

• We’ve increased test coverage and integrated it with GitHub Actions for CI

• Dependency and packaging management has been migrated to Poetry.

Coming soon!

• Bellingcat will release an article and video guide on the Auto Archiver in the coming weeks.
