Release v3.0.0 – Full Page and Element Screenshot Support

🚀 What's New in v3.0.0

This major release adds robust and production-ready support for capturing high-quality full-page screenshots using Selenium and Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). It also introduces element-level capture with advanced handling for hidden or off-screen content.

✨ New Features

• Full Page Screenshot (CDP-powered):

  • Accurately captures wide and long pages without cut-offs
  • Handles headless mode correctly
  • Supports lazy loading and optional hidden elements

• Capture Specific Elements:

  • Crop and save any WebElement to a standalone PNG
  • Uses full-page screenshot as base for pixel-accurate cropping
  • Optional padding around element

• Hide Elements Feature:

  • Accepts both CSS selectors and WebElement objects
  • Useful for hiding headers, footers, ads, or sticky elements

🧰 Improvements

• Structured code into a class-based API
• Improved compatibility with headless Chrome
• Added better scrolling behavior for lazy-loaded content

🧪 Testing

• Added unit tests for both full-page and element-level capture
• Verified against complex pages like Wikipedia
