"""
# ChangeLog
# ---------
# TEMP Added a hacky regex search to find the pdf url
#
# 2.10 Merged a fix for the "TypError: quote_from_bytes()" problem on
# Python 3.x from hinnefe2.
#
# 2.9 Fixed Unicode problem in certain queries. Thanks to smidm for
# this contribution.
#
# 2.8 Improved quotation-mark handling for multi-word phrases in
# queries. Also, log URLs %-decoded in debugging output, for
# easier interpretation.
#
# 2.7 Ability to extract content excerpts as reported in search results.
# Also a fix to -s|--some and -n|--none: these did not yet support
# passing lists of phrases. This now works correctly if you provide
# separate phrases via commas.
#
# 2.6 Ability to disable inclusion of patents and citations. This
# has the same effect as unchecking the two patents/citations
# checkboxes in the Scholar UI, which are checked by default.
# Accordingly, the command-line options are --no-patents and
# --no-citations.
#
# 2.5: Ability to parse global result attributes. This right now means
# only the total number of results as reported by Scholar at the
# top of the results pages (e.g. "About 31 results"). Such
# global result attributes end up in the new attrs member of the
# used ScholarQuery class. To render those attributes, you need
# to use the new --txt-globals flag.
#
# Rendering global results is currently not supported for CSV
# (as they don't fit the one-line-per-article pattern). For
# grepping, you can separate the global results from the
# per-article ones by looking for a line prefix of "[G]":
#
# $ scholar.py --txt-globals -a "Einstein"
# [G] Results 11900
#
# Title Can quantum-mechanical description of physical reality be considered complete?
# URL http://journals.aps.org/pr/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev.47.777
# Year 1935
# Citations 12804
# Versions 80
# Cluster ID 8174092782678430881
# Citations list http://scholar.google.com/scholar?cites=8174092782678430881&as_sdt=2005&sciodt=0,5&hl=en
# Versions list http://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=8174092782678430881&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5
#
# 2.4: Bugfixes:
#
# - Correctly handle Unicode characters when reporting results
# in text format.
#
# - Correctly parse citation-only (i.e. linkless) results in
# Google Scholar results.
#
# 2.3: Additional features:
#
# - Direct extraction of first PDF version of an article
#
# - Ability to pull up an article cluster's results directly.
#
# This is based on work from @aliparsai on GitHub -- thanks!
#
# - Suppress missing search results (so far shown as "None" in
# the textual output form.
#
# 2.2: Added a logging option that reports full HTML contents, for
# debugging, as well as incrementally more detailed logging via
# -d up to -dddd.
#
# 2.1: Additional features:
#
# - Improved cookie support: the new --cookie-file options
# allows the reuse of a cookie across invocations of the tool;
# this allows higher query rates than would otherwise result
# when invoking scholar.py repeatedly.
#
# - Workaround: remove the num= URL-encoded argument from parsed
# URLs. For some reason, Google Scholar decides to propagate
# the value from the original query into the URLs embedded in
# the results.
#
# 2.0: Thorough overhaul of design, with substantial improvements:
#
# - Full support for advanced search arguments provided by
# Google Scholar
#
# - Support for retrieval of external citation formats, such as
# BibTeX or EndNote
#
# - Simple logging framework to track activity during execution
#
# 1.7: Python 3 and BeautifulSoup 4 compatibility, as well as printing
# of usage info when no options are given. Thanks to Pablo
# Oliveira (https://github.com/pablooliveira)!
#
# Also a bunch of pylinting and code cleanups.
#
# 1.6: Cookie support, from Matej Smid (https://github.com/palmstrom).
#
# 1.5: A few changes:
#
# - Tweak suggested by Tobias Isenberg: use unicode during CSV
# formatting.
#
# - The option -c|--count now understands numbers up to 100 as
# well. Likewise suggested by Tobias.
#
# - By default, text rendering mode is now active. This avoids
# confusion when playing with the script, as it used to report
# nothing when the user didn't select an explicit output mode.
#
# 1.4: Updates to reflect changes in Scholar's page rendering,
# contributed by Amanda Hay at Tufts -- thanks!
#
# 1.3: Updates to reflect changes in Scholar's page rendering.
#
# 1.2: Minor tweaks, mostly thanks to helpful feedback from Dan Bolser.
# Thanks Dan!
#
# 1.1: Made author field explicit, added --author option.
