+pywb 0.9.7 changelist
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+* wombat enchancements: support for mutation observers instead of setAttribute override with ``client.use_attr_observers`` setting.
+  Can also disable worker override with ``skip_disable_worker``
+  
+* wombat fixes: Better check for self-redirect when proxying ``replace()`` and ``assign()``, use ``querySelectorAll()`` for dom selection
+
+* wombat fixes: Don't remove trailing slash in ``extract_orig()``, treat slash and no-slash urls as distinct on the client (as expected).
+
+* cdx-indexer: Validation of HTTP protocol and request verbs now optional. Any protocol and verb will be accepted, unless ``-v`` flag is used,
+allowing for indexing of content with custom verbs, unexpected protocol, etc...
