v012

Migrating

Please backup before upgrading.
In this version the location of the sqlite database has changes. The Django portion of the program has been moved to the folder called backend. When you run, retcon will try to move the database from its old location automatically.

The manage.py is not in the backend folder.

Changes

• You can now add notes and mark objects as favourite( this will become important as tools for importing scrapes trickle in).
• When you search for a real name the search field now correctly considers first and last name.
• The API will give you snake_case if you ask with a non browser client, and camelCase with a browser.
• You can now specify a data partially for example 2005-05 on creative works, and the admin interface will automatically resolve the precision instead of complaining.
• You may now attach a file collection to a creative work
• You may now attach a production code to a creative work

v011

• You, may now associate a file hash to an episode by uploading it from the admin interface.
• If you fail to specify a data and precision of an episode the form will just error instead of dying.
• Usernames may now be administered from the admin panel
• Usernames are filterable by domain and status
• URLs must now be unique
• URLs can now be longer
• SharedStrings cannot have trailing or leading spaces now.
• Sped up some slow admin panels
• If available names of Persons will now choose the first pseudonym instead of real name if one is available.
• Install CORS headers so foreign sites can access the API given a key.
• Small bug fixes

0.0.9

• FIX: Listing user names and numbers in txt now works instead of throwing an exception.
• CHANGE: Companies now own websites instead of vice versa.
• Experimenting with API cache to reduce load on data infrequently changed.

0.0.8-minor

I have documented some of and slightly tweaked the person API.
Specifically the search functionality.

A search may be performed using a url to check if a user is on file, provided an equivalent website pattern is available. This allows programs to programatically check if a username is on file, which may be helpful for browser plugins and scripts.

See readme.md for details.

0.0.7

Even more tests cleaning up some models, and added quality of life to admin panel.

0.0.7-beta

Various work on API and models, you should not see significant change in the admin interface.
