Version 1.6.2 – Bugfix release

This release fixes a crash-causing bug in writing the comment string into the zip file resulting from a reference to a no-longer-existing package attribute.

Version 1.6.1 – Minor bugfix release

This fixes broken handling of the debug output destination and updates the README.md to reflect the currently available command-line options.

Release 1.6.0 – New debug options

This release changes the debug flag -@ to accept an argument for where to send the debug output trace. The behavior change of -@ is not backward compatible; it will no longer work without an argument value.

The only other change concerns internal modifications to put metadata in setup.cfg and change how Microarchiver gets the metadata internally.

This fixes some minor internal bugs.

Version 1.5.0 – New feature for getting raw list of articles

Version 1.4.0 – add script for use with cron

This release changes (really, fixes) a minor behavior where it previously would create an empty output directory even if nothing was going to be written. It also adds a script for use with cron for running microarchiver on a regular basis and uploading the results to Portico.

Version 1.3.0 – Don't write empty archives

Skip creation of archive zip file if there are no articles to archive. This can happen when using --after-date.
