[0.8.0] - 2023-03-09

Added

Development

  • add_footnote_links() replaces [n] and [^n] links with HTML <a> tags that link to each other.

  • reduce_image_size() abstracts the PIL resize feature to provide an easy utility for image resizing.

  • Paginator class creates paginated list with generators to navigate through each page in the list.

  • process_salmention() compares stored and live version of a page to find new and deleted responses. Optionally, Webmentions can be sent to all response URLs that are present on both pages.

  • remove_tracking_parameters() removes UTM parameters and optionally custom provided parameters from a URL.

  • is_site_url() checks if a URL is on a specified domain.

  • slugify() removes all characters in a URL that are not alphanumerics, a period, a dash, or an underscore.

  • Added types for Trackback code that did not have complete typing.

[0.7.2] - 2023-03-02

[Released without changelog notes. Requires backfilling.]

[0.7.1] - 2023-03-02

Added

Development

  • process_trackback function to process a Trackback request and return a response.

  • SUCCESSFUL_PING and ERROR_PING constants to use in the process_trackback function and for use in custom Trackback validation logic.

Fixed

  • Fixed import statements for rsd_trackback_discovery, discover_trackback_url, and send_trackback functions so that they can all be imported from the top-level of the library.

[0.7.0] - 2023-03-01

Added

Development

  • rsd_discovery function to find values associated with keys in a Really Simple Discovery file.

  • send_trackback function to send a Trackback to a specified URL.

  • discover_trackback_url function to discover the Trackback endpoint for a specified URL.

[0.6.2] - 2022-10-21

Development

  • send_webmention now looks for a message in a message key and has a fallback if one cannot be found. This information is returned in the title and description values in the Webmention response. The message will be blank if one cannot be found.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where the send_webmention function raised an error when trying to retrieve a message from an endpoint.

[0.6.1] - 2022-10-21

No change. Changes moved to 0.6.2.

[0.6.0] - 2022-10-18

Added

Development

  • Support for sending private Webmentions in the send_webmention function.

  • New docstrings documenting parameters used to send a private webmention using the send_webmention function.

  • Support for validating private Webmentions in the validate_webmention function.

  • New docstrings documenting parameters used to validate a private webmention with the validate_webmention function.

  • validate_webmention returns the text and a parsed Beautiful Soup tree of the source of a validated Webmention in the WebmentionCheckResponse return object.

Functions

  • discover_indieauth_endpoints function to discover endpoints mentioned in the IndieAuth spec and ticket endpoints used in TicketAuth, a proposed extension to IndieAuth.

Tests

  • Added tests for discover_indieauth_endpoints function.

[0.5.0] - 2022-10-13

Added

  • get_reply_context now performs discovery on property and name values for og:image, twitter:image:src, description, og:description, and twitter:description tags.

Tests

  • Added new tests for the get_reply_context function.

  • Added responses.activate decorators to remaining tests that did not already have this decorator present. This ensures all tests run on the contents of local files rather than making network requests to get data from a page.

Fixed

  • get_reply_context would use a h-entry even if the h-entry only provided a URL and no other content.

  • indieweb_utils.SCOPE_DEFINITIONS can now be imported into a project. This previously returned an ImportError exception.

[0.4.0] - 2022-10-11

Added

Development

  • Documentation for the discover_endpoints function.

  • The indieauth_callback_handler function returns the JSON response from an IndieAuth endpoint represented as a dictionary instead of a blank dictionary.

  • The discover_endpoints docstring contains an example about Microsub and an updated common values list. This is because we recommend use of the discover_webmention_endpoint function for Webmention endpoint discovery.

Functions

  • get_reply_urls to retrieve all of the URLs to which a specified page is replying.

  • get_page_name to find the name of a page per the IndieWeb Page Name Discovery algorithm.

  • get_syndicated_copies to retrieve all of the URLs to which a specified page has been syndicated.

Tests

  • Added test cases for:

    • get_reply_urls

    • get_page_name

    • get_syndicated_copies

  • Updated test cases for get_reply_context were to look for description values where appropriate.

Fixed

  • The indieauth_callback_handler function no longer raises a JSON error during the _validate_indieauth_response function call.

  • The get_reply_context function now returns a description based on the first two sentences of the e-content of a specified page if a summary cannot be found when analysing a h-entry.

  • The get_reply_context function returns a string summary value instead of a dictionary or a list.

  • get_reply_context now looks at og:description and twitter:description meta tags for a description if a description value cannot be found. This happens when analysing a page that does not contain a h-entry.

[0.3.1] - 2022-10-10

Fixed import issue in setup.cfg so PyPi can discover the README for indieweb-utils.

[0.3.0] - 2022-10-10

  • autolink_tags() function to replace hashtags (#) with relevant tag pages and person tags (@) with the names and domains of people tagged.

  • canonicalize_url() returns the exact URL passed in if the URL contains a protocol that is not HTTP or HTTPS.
