Changelog for salted

Version 0.7.2 beta (2021-07-22)

  • New features:
    • New command line parameter ignore_urls (same command in the BEHAVIOR section of a configfile). Accepts URLs (in the form of comma separated string), that will not be checked. This is useful as some websites always return an error code if you do not use a browser.

Version 0.7.1 beta (2021-07-20)

  • Bugfix: If called via the CLI without a searchpath, the searchpath now correctly defaults to the current working directory.
  • Tests for Python 3.10 now run with Beta 4 instead of Beta 3.

Version 0.7.0 beta (2021-07-16)

  • New features:
    • Salted can be called within a Python script as a library, or as a standalone script via the command line! Both ways support using a configuration file.
    • Check a specific file instead of all supported files within a folder.
    • Markdown reports now contain links (instead of bare URLs).
  • BREAKING CHANGES:
    • The function check_links() has been renamed to check and the parameter path_to_base_folder is now named searchpath.
    • If a configfile is present, it overwrites the default settings. however, if salted is used standalone via the command line interface (CLI), arguments on the CLI overwrite the corresponding values in a config file.
    • Salted uses head requests as a fast and light query type to check an URL. Some servers do not like head requests. Therefore, salted tried a full request each time a head requests did return an error. This behavior has been tested using a large collection of URLs. In this collection 607 URls answered a head request with an error code. Only in 5 cases a follow up with a full requests yielded a different result. In the face of this insignificant effect, the functionality for doing a second (full) request has been removed.
  • New dependencies:
    • Updated versions of multiple dependencies.
    • Added the pybtext as a dependency to parse BibTeX files. (next release)
    • Added sqlalchemy as a dependency.
  • Improved code tests:
    • Automatic tests now also run with Python 3.10 beta 3.
    • Although the code is designed to be platform independent, tests now also run in a MacOS and a Windows container to be sure there are no issues.

Version 0.6.1 beta (January 22, 2021)

  • Log file access errors (like missing permissions) and list them in reports.
  • Add time stamp to reports.
  • New dependency: compatibility (>=0.8.0) is added. This warns you if you use salted with an untested or unsupported version of Python. As a sister project of salted development is coordinated.

Version 0.6.0 beta (January 08, 2021)

  • Add basic support for checking links in Markdown and LaTeX (.tex) files:
    • Relative ('local') links are not yet supported in any format.
    • Markdown : The pandoc version as well as GitHub flavored markdown are supported.
    • LaTeX : Salted recognizes \url{url} as well as \href{url}{text}, but the hyperref option baseurl is ignored.
  • Add some automatic tests with the pytest framework.

Version 0.5.4 beta (December 18, 2020)

  • Salted sets the HTTP header 'User-Agent' to salted/<version>. Users can overwrite this by setting a custom user agent.
  • Require lxml version >= 4.6.2 (released 2020-11-26) as it fixes a vulnerability and works with Python 3.9.
