# new - Add the `delay` option to the `/submit` and `/submit/single` API endpoints. This adds a delay between when the page is considered loading and when a screenshot should be taken.

Immediate mode does not record data to the database but instead shows a modal with the results (see screenshots below) (https://github.com/sensepost/gowitness/commit/bb5cf4fc2c3e11ff8255d9bb40ac9500aeba7303) # fixed - Fix API documentation for `/submit/single` to show the full return object (https://github.com/sensepost/gowitness/commit/a9e254d3f95afcd8c49bc0fa4ee95eacef1c6dc3) - Trim spaces for file targets to help improve reliability of the reader (https://github.com/sensepost/gowitness/commit/fd9f55f13d347839f79996ad44d6cf324589c8f0) <img width="1383" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ccc0b116-9be9-4fe6-a59a-ae7b9029c200"> <img width="1464" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/17244598-4452-4bec-9d7a-22535a

# gowitness v3 Gosh, so much work went into this release, I really don't know where to start. v3 has been a while coming, and after I needed some changes for an internal tool, I figured now was as good a time as any to finally fix the stuff that had been bugging me. So, I branched to v3, deleted everything but the README and .gitignore files, and scaffolded a new [cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) project. I had lots of ideas, and a fresh start helped me finally get those in. A lot has changed, been reworked, refactored, upgraded, and more. I had fun building this, and hope you have fun using it! If this were your typical mobile application, the release notes would have just read "Bug fixes and improvements". While thats true, it's not all there is to say. <img width="1473" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7812bb6b-21de-42a3-8e4e-e28b30ea492a"> ## overview If I had to give a TL;DR of what changed, I'd summarise it as: - Reworked the CLI. Commands are now properly categorised into subcommands. Flags also properly inherit from their parents now. - Refactored the scanning and screenshotting logic. Most notably, the old [preflight

(thanks @djallalzoldik) (via #180) - Add PostgreSQL support (thanks @habitualdev) (via #166). You should now specify the database to use using a full URI.
