Welcome to urlfix’s changelog

urlfix 0.2.3

  • We now use pytest as our testing framework making our testing easier and more robust.

  • Fixed issues with recursive replacements failing due to non-deleted intermediate files.

  • Verbose messages are now printed to a log file to make the console less convoluted. The log level is set to debug so we get as much information as possible. Importantly, warnings are now also not printed on the console, the user should check the log files to see these too. This might be reverted in the future.

  • Output file deletion has been optimised to avoid errors when running tests repeatedly.

  • Tests are now broken down into much simpler functions for easier debugging.

  • URLFix now warns with HTTP error codes, wherever applicable.

urlfix 0.2.2

  • Script mode now supports updating links in sub-nested directories.

  • DirURLFix now supports replacement of outdated links in sub-nested directories.

  • Now supporting ReStructured text (.rst) files.

  • Added support for RMarkdown (.rmd) files.

  • A recursive argument was added to script mode. The argument input-file was renamed inpath to reflect that this may be a file or directory.

  • DirURLFix is now fully recursive.

  • Extended tests to ensure that recursion works as expected.

  • Refactored dirurlfix‘s main replacement method to allow for greater flexibility in recursive replacements.
