• 2016 11 11

  • [addition] You can now call opendirdl using the database filename as the first argument, and the subcommand as the second. Previously, the subcommand always had to come first, but now they are interchangeable when the system detects that argv[0] is a file. This makes it much easier to do multiple operations on a single database because you can just backspace the previous command rather than having to hop over the database name to get to it.
  • [addition] measure now takes an argument --threads x to use x threads during the head requests.
  • [addition] New subcommand list_urls to just dump the urls.

• 2016 10 03

  • [bugfix] Fix KeyError caused by the 'root' -> 'domain' rename.

• 2016 10 01

  • [bugfix] Fixed the download function so it actually passes headers into downloady.
  • [change] url_split key 'root' has been renamed to 'domain'.
  • [change] Improved some variable names, including walkurl -> root_url.
  • [cleanup] Removed import for Ratelimiter since downloady handles all of that now.

• 2016 08 16

  • [cleanup] Now that Downloady uses temp files for incomplete downloads, that logic can be removed from opendirdl.

• 2016 08 10

  • [addition] Added clickable links to each directory on HTML tree pages.
  • [bugfix] Fixed bug in smart_insert caused by 404's being considered falsey, triggering the 'one and only one' exception.
  • [bugfix] Fixed bug in smart_insert where 404'd URLs were not being deleted from the database.

• 2016 08 02

  • [cleanup] Removed the need for div IDs on the Tree pages by making the collapse button use this.nextSibling.
  • [cleanup] Rewrote build_file_tree with a way simpler algorithm.
  • [removal] Removed the ability to set a Node's parent during __init__ because it wasn't fully fleshed out and doesn't need to be used anyway.

• 2016 08 01

  • [addition] Made the digest work even if you forget the http://

• 2016 07 29

  • [change] Moved some nested function definitions out to the top level, and made the construction of the file tree its own function. These functions really don't need to be used on their own, but they were cluttering the logic of the tree command.
  • [change] Renamed Tree.listnodes to Tree.list_children, and the customsort now expects to operate on Node objects rather than (identifier, Node) tuples. Nodes already have their identifier so the tuple was unecessary.
  • [change] Replaced local download_file function with a call to downloady.download_file. It supports download continuation and removes duplicate work.
  • [cleanup] Replaced all safeprint calls with write because it provides access to safeprint as well as file writing if needed.
  • [removal] Removed Tree.sorted_children since it was basically a duplicate of Tree.listnodes and I don't know why I had both.

• 2016 07 25

  • [change] Bytespersecond is now parsed by bytestring.parsebytes rather than eval, so you can write "100k" as opposed to "100 * 1024" etc.
  • [removal] Removed the Downloader class and replaced it with a function, because it only had one real method anyway.

• 2016 07 19

  • [addition] Gave the HTML tree divs a very gentle shadow and alternating colors to help with depth perception.
  • [bugfix] Fixed the allowed characters parameter of filepath_sanitize, which was not written correctly but worked out of luck.
  • [cleanup] Rearranged the big blocks to be in a logical order rather than alphabetical order. Walker > Downloader > other classes
  • [cleanup] Renamed the keep_pattern and remove_pattern functions to keep_pattern_argparse etc to be consistent with the other functions used by the argparser. Does not affect the commandline usage!
  • [cleanup] Fixed some mismatched code vs comments

• 2016 07 08

  • [bugfix] Fixed bug in which trees wouldn't generate on server:port urls.

• 2016 07 04

  • [addition] Added new argparse command "tree"

• 2016 02 08

  • [bugfix] Fixed bug where server:port urls did not create db files because of the colon. It's been replaced by a hash.
  • [change] Moved db commits to only happen at the end of a digest.
