Change log for eprints2bags

Version 1.8.0

  • New feature: provide the option to create a final, single top-level bag out of all the output (option -e)
  • New feature: use multiple processes for bag creation and provide option -c for adjusting the number
  • New command-line options -b, -c, -e and -t
  • Previous option -b renamed to -n, and -m to -k
  • Option -B removed (because it's now subsumed by other options)
  • Slightly changed (again) the comment block written to the ZIP archives
  • Fixed some bugs
  • Updated help strings and text in README

Version 1.7.0

  • Added new --status command-line option
  • Fixed comments in ZIP file to use correct BagIt format version
  • Updated help strings and text in README

Version 1.6.0

  • Added new --lastmod command-line option
  • Fixed failure to parse combinations of ranges passed as arguments to -i option
  • Slightly changed the comment block written to a zip archive to make it more specific
  • Updated help strings and text in README

Version 1.5.0

  • Now stores login & password on a per-server basis, instead of (as previously) a single login & password for all servers
  • Accepts empty user names and passwords for EPrints servers that don't need them
  • Fixed handling lack of official_url elements in EPrints records
  • Changed how thumbnail images and other files are identified for a given record, by looking at the <relation> element to see if it is isVolatileVersionOf
  • Make sure to write files in UTF-8 format regardless of whether the user's environment variables are set properly. (Previously, having set LC_ALL to an unusual value would result in an error such as 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u2019' in position 3540: ordinal not in range(128).)
  • Refactor credentials-handling code and remove no-longer-needed credentials.py
  • Other minor internal changes

Version 1.4.0

  • Fixed an important network handling bug that could cause incomplete records to be saved
  • Fixed bugs in handling network exceptions while downloading content from servers
  • Improved detection of file system limitations
  • Makes -o an optional argument
  • Fixed a missing Python package import
  • Renamed CONDUCT.md to CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md so that GitHub can find it
  • Added CONTRIBUTING.md,
  • Updated the documentation
  • Fixed some other minor bugs
  • Minor internal code refactoring

Version 1.3.0

Eprints2bags now generates uncompressed ZIP archives of bags by default, instead of using compressed tar format. This was done in the belief that ZIP format is more widely supported and because compressed archive file contents may be more difficult to recover if the archive file becomes corrupted. Also, the program eprints2bags now uses the run-time environment's keychain/keyring services to store the user name and password between runs, for convenience when running the program repeatedly. Finally, some of the the command-line options have been changed.
