Improved Web Crawler Date Extraction From Date-Related CSS Classes on Sites Without Metadata
Improved web crawler date extraction for sites that lack JSON-LD or meta tags. New targeted extraction looks for dates inside HTML elements with date-related CSS classes (e.g. .date, .posted, .info) — much safer than scanning all page text.
Fix Web Crawler Date Indexing Fix: Timezone Offsets Now Strictly Converted to UTC
Fixed date indexing errors caused by timezone offsets (e.g. +03:00) in date fields. All dates are now strictly converted to UTC before sending to Solr. Added a final safety gate — any date that doesn't match the exact Solr format is dropped rather than causing an indexing error.

Improved Web Crawler Skips Embedding Generation on Indexes Without AI Vector Access
Web Crawler now respects the package's vector access flag — indexes without AI features skip embedding generation during crawls, saving GPU resources and speeding up indexing.
