## 🚀 New Stuff and quality of life changes
- **Updated all browsers and fingerprints**. Run `scrapling install --force` after updating to refresh them.
- **Added a `--version` flag to the CLI** by @ETM-Code in [#303](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/pull/303) (Solves [#299](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/issues/299))
## 🐛 Bug Fixes
- **Fixed the session-level `proxy` argument being silently ignored in HTTP sessions**, which could leak your real IP (Solves [#295](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/issues/295)). Note that mixing a session-level `proxy` with a per-request `proxies` argument (or vice versa) now raises an error instead of one being silently dropped.
- **Fixed browser navigations failing when combining `init_script` with `user_data_dir`** (Solves [#294](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/issues/294)).
- **Fixed encoding detection when websites quote the charset value in the `Content-Type` header** by @Bortlesboat in [#323](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/pull/323).
- **Fixed an `IndexError` in adaptive element relocation when `auto_save` is enabled** by @Mubashirrrr in [#340](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/pull/340).
- **Fixed spiders' checkpoint and cache saving crashing on Windows** by @MrStarkEG in [#344](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/pull/344).
- **Fixed incorrect similarity scoring in `find_similar` for elements with mismatched attribute counts** (Solves [#322](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/issues/322)).
## Docs
- **Clarified that the default installation includes the parser engine only**, and the fetchers/spiders need the extras (Solves [#343](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/issues/343)).
- **Fixed the Docker image name in the remaining examples** by @evanclan in [#315](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/pull/315).
- **Fixed a broken link in the contribution guide** by @Bortlesboat in [#320](https://github.com/D4Vinci/Scrapling/pull/320).
