This release marks a significant change in scope for Cinemagoer.

Support for parsing IMDb web pages has been removed. Starting in April 2026, IMDb introduced a web application firewall that prevents reliable scraping of its website. From that point, we can no longer guarantee that the package works as expected with IMDb web data, from both a technical and a legal standpoint.

Cinemagoer now works exclusively with the IMDb non-commercial downloadable datasets.

If you still need IMDb web-page parsing, see cinemagoerng, which is focused on that use case and requires you to provide the function used to fetch those pages.

Other changes in this release:

• Drop support for Python versions prior to 3.10
• Switch to pyproject.toml configuration
• Switch to using uv for package management

A small release containing just few fixes to the parsers.

A quick-fix release to avoid problems fetching web pages. Please notice that for the moment the person pages will return a very limited list of movies for each role; this will be fixed in the future.
