Anyone else having a problem with Wikitree Sourcer?

Seems that newspapers.com decided to change the path to a clipping and Sourcer doesn't recognize it as a clipping page.

The old path was: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/XXXXXXX

The new path is: https://www.newspapers.com/article/paper name/XXXXXXX

It is not the URL format. It is that the HTML of the newspapers.com clipping page has changed significantly so Sourcer can no longer extract the relevant data.

I will work on a fix. Thanks for letting me know.

Sourcer is updated in version 1.6.6 for the latest newspapers.com site

Let me know if it is not working for you
