 ## Unreleased
 
+## 3.1.0 - 2021-06-13
+
+If your config file doesn't do weird things with transforms, it should continue
+to work. If your `-re->` arrows behave weirdly, try replacing them with
+`-exact-re->` arrows. If you're on Windows, you might need to switch from `\`
+path separators to `/` in your regex rules.
+
+### Added
+- `skip` option for crawlers
+- Rules with `>>` instead of `>` as arrow head
+- `-exact-re->` arrow (behaves like `-re->` did previously)
+
+### Changed
+- The `-re->` arrow can now rename directories (like `-->`)
+- Use `/` instead of `\` as path separator for (regex) rules on Windows
+- Use the label to the left for exercises instead of the button name to
+  determine the folder name
+
+### Fixed
+- Video pagination handling in ILIAS crawler
+
+## 3.0.1 - 2021-06-01
+
+### Added
+- `credential-file` authenticator
+- `--credential-file` option for `kit-ilias-web` command
+- Warning if using concurrent tasks with `kit-ilias-web`
+
+### Changed
+- Cookies are now stored in a text-based format
+
+### Fixed
+- Date parsing now also works correctly in non-group exercises

 the `--explain` flag.
 
-Each line has the format `SOURCE ARROW TARGET` where `TARGET` is optional.
-`SOURCE` is either a normal path without spaces (e. g. `foo/bar`), or a string
-literal delimited by `"` or `'` (e. g. `"foo\" bar/baz"`). Python's string
-escape syntax is supported. Trailing slashes are ignored. `TARGET` can be
-formatted like `SOURCE`, but it can also be a single exclamation mark without
-quotes (`!`). `ARROW` is one of `-->`, `-name->`, `-exact->`, `-re->` and
-`-name-re->`
+Each rule has the format `SOURCE ARROW TARGET` (e. g. `foo/bar --> foo/baz`).
+The arrow specifies how the source and target are interpreted. The different
+kinds of arrows are documented below.
 
-If a rule's target is `!`, this means that when the rule matches on a path, the
-corresponding file or directory is ignored. If a rule's target is missing, the
-path is matched but not modified.
+`SOURCE` and `TARGET` are either a bunch of characters without spaces (e. g.
+`foo/bar`) or string literals (e. g, `"foo/b a r"`). The former syntax has no
+concept of escaping characters, so the backslash is just another character. The
+string literals however support Python's escape syntax (e. g.
+`"foo\\bar\tbaz"`). This also means that in string literals, backslashes must be
+escaped.
+
+`TARGET` can additionally be a single exclamation mark `!` (*not* `"!"`). When a
+rule with a `!` as target matches a path, the corresponding file or directory is
+ignored by the crawler instead of renamed.
+
+`TARGET` can also be omitted entirely. When a rule without target matches a
+path, the path is returned unmodified. This is useful to prevent rules further
+down from matching instead.
+
+Each arrow's behaviour can be modified slightly by changing the arrow's head
+from `>` to `>>`. When a rule with a `>>` arrow head matches a path, it doesn't
+return immediately like a normal arrow. Instead, it replaces the current path
+with its output and continues on to the next rule. In effect, this means that
+multiple rules can be applied sequentially.
 
 ### The `-->` arrow
 
-The `-->` arrow is a basic renaming operation. If a path begins with `SOURCE`,
-that part of the path is replaced with `TARGET`. This means that the rule
-`foo/bar --> baz` would convert `foo/bar` into `baz`, but also `foo/bar/xyz`
-into `baz/xyz`. The rule `foo --> !` would ignore a directory named `foo` as
-well as all its contents.
+The `-->` arrow is a basic renaming operation for files and directories. If a
+path matches `SOURCE`, it is renamed to `TARGET`.
+
+Example: `foo/bar --> baz`
+- Doesn't match `foo`, `a/foo/bar` or `foo/baz`
+- Converts `foo/bar` into `baz`
+- Converts `foo/bar/wargl` into `bar/wargl`
+
+Example: `foo/bar --> !`
+- Doesn't match `foo`, `a/foo/bar` or `foo/baz`
+- Ignores `foo/bar` and any of its children
 
 ### The `-name->` arrow
 
 The `-name->` arrow lets you rename files and directories by their name,
 regardless of where they appear in the file tree. Because of this, its `SOURCE`
 must not contain multiple path segments, only a single name. This restriction
-does not apply to its `TARGET`. The `-name->` arrow is not applied recursively
-to its own output to prevent infinite loops.
+does not apply to its `TARGET`.
 
-For example, the rule `foo -name-> bar/baz` would convert `a/foo` into
-`a/bar/baz` and `a/foo/b/c/foo` into `a/bar/baz/b/c/bar/baz`. The rule `foo
--name-> !` would ignore all directories and files named `foo`.
+Example: `foo -name-> bar/baz`
+- Doesn't match `a/foobar/b` or `x/Foo/y/z`
+- Converts `hello/foo` into `hello/bar/baz`
+- Converts `foo/world` into `bar/baz/world`
+- Converts `a/foo/b/c/foo` into `a/bar/baz/b/c/bar/baz`
+
+Example: `foo -name-> !`
+- Doesn't match `a/foobar/b` or `x/Foo/y/z`
+- Ignores any path containing a segment `foo`
 
 ### The `-exact->` arrow
 
-The `-exact->` arrow requires the path to match `SOURCE` exactly. This means
-that the rule `foo/bar -exact-> baz` would still convert `foo/bar` into `baz`,
-but `foo/bar/xyz` would be unaffected. Also, `foo -exact-> !` would only ignore
-`foo`, but not its contents (if it has any). The examples below show why this is
-useful.

+Example: `foo/bar -exact-> !`
+- Doesn't match `foo`, `a/foo/bar` or `foo/baz`
+- Ignores only `foo/bar`, not its children
 
 ### The `-re->` arrow
 
-The `-re->` arrow uses regular expressions. `SOURCE` is a regular expression
-that must match the entire path. If this is the case, then the capturing groups
-are available in `TARGET` for formatting.
+The `-re->` arrow is like the `-->` arrow but with regular expressions. `SOURCE`

 ### The `-name-re->` arrow
 
 The `-name-re>` arrow is like a combination of the `-name->` and `-re->` arrows.
-Instead of the `SOURCE` being the name of a directory or file, it's a regex that
-is matched against the names of directories and files. `TARGET` works like the
-`-re->` arrow's target.
 
-For example, the arrow `(.*)\.jpeg -name-re-> {g1}.jpg` will rename all `.jpeg`
-extensions into `.jpg`. The arrow `\..+ -name-re-> !` will ignore all files and
-directories starting with `.`.
+Example: `(.*)\.jpeg -name-re-> {g1}.jpg`
+- Doesn't match `foo/bar.png`, `baz.JPEG` or `hello,jpeg`
+- Converts `foo/bar.jpeg` into `foo/bar.jpg`
