February 2026 Changelog
February's SCM updates focused on cleaner naming, safer scraping, and fewer stuck jobs. This was the month where several older tool names were tightened up, browser-window handling became more reliable, and the app shell started moving toward a more consistent visual system.
For daily users, the practical benefit was less confusion. Scrapers had clearer names, waiting jobs became easier to abort, OpenRouter and browser errors recovered more cleanly, and the interface became easier to scan in both light and dark themes.
Who this update helps
- Users who rely on scrapers for maps, video, RSS, web archives, and site crawling.
- Users who run long jobs that may need to be aborted while waiting or retrying.
- Users configuring AI services through OpenRouter.
- Users who prefer clearer tool names and a calmer app interface.
Clearer scraper and workflow names
Several tools were renamed so the interface better matches what users are actually doing. These changes make SCM easier to understand for new users and easier to explain in support docs.
- RSS scraper was renamed to RSS sitemaps.
- Google Maps scraper was renamed to local listings.
- Bulk translate was renamed to rewrite translate.
- YouTube sub scraper was renamed to YouTube subtitles.
- Web crawler was renamed to site crawler.
- Static scraper was renamed to static pages.
More reliable scraping and browser recovery
February included several fixes for browser-based collection work. The goal was to keep scraping jobs from failing because a browser window closed early, a generic extractor crashed, or SCM attempted to open too many browser windows at once.
- Google Maps recovery improved when windows closed early during retries.
- Generic site extraction no longer causes a renderer crash in the affected path.
- SCM now handles attempts to open multiple extraction browser windows more safely.
- DataForSEO error handling was tightened for a specific empty result case.
Safer AI and task retry behavior
Long-running jobs need predictable controls. February improved abort behavior during waiting states and made OpenRouter responses easier for SCM to retry instead of failing immediately.
- Jobs can now be aborted while waiting for retries.
- OpenRouter response handling now allows retry when the returned response is malformed or unexpected.
- A quick abort during waiting no longer leaves jobs stuck in an aborting state.
Interface polish
The app interface also received a visual pass. The changes are small, but they reduce friction when users spend a long time inside SCM.
- The app header was restyled.
- The light and dark themes moved toward Catppuccin Latte and Macchiato styling.
- Log message colors now switch correctly between light and dark variants.
- Dark theme tags received missing hover and check colors.
- The Page Pipeline insert-images label was clarified.
