Bumped the project version to 0.3.9 in preparation for the next release. Adjusted .gitignore to properly ignore /dist/ directory. No major functionality changes expected.
Introduced markdown rendering for the privacy policy alongside plain text support. This change enriches the presentation of the privacy policy by allowing markdown-formatted files. To facilitate this, the markdown2 library was added as a dependency, and the logic in the privacy policy route was adjusted to prioritize `.md` files over `.txt` when available. This update also includes a minor version bump and the addition of a markdown-related entry to `.gitignore`. These changes enhance the flexibility and user experience by supporting more visually structured privacy policies.
The removal of the default privacy file path (`privacy.txt`) from the environment configuration encourages explicit file path specification, accommodating the new markdown feature more seamlessly.
Incremented the project version to 0.2.1, preparing for a new release with minor improvements and bug fixes. Additionally, refined the .gitignore file to explicitly include the distribution directory, ensuring build artifacts are not accidentally committed to version control. This step aligns with best practices for Python project maintenance and distribution.
Updated the project documentation and .gitignore for a cleaner structure and enhanced visibility. The README now integrates dynamic badges for real-time status like support links, PyPI version, and latest commit info, offering a quick overview of the project status at a glance. These changes aim to make the project more accessible to potential contributors and users by providing essential information more efficiently. Additionally, the `.gitignore` file has been updated to include the `dist/` directory, preventing the accidental inclusion of distribution files in the repository, thus maintaining a cleaner project structure.
The restructuring of the README content, including a simplified approach to setting up development and production environments, aligns with best practices, making it easier for new contributors to get started. Furthermore, the changes enhance project documentation coherence and readability by embedding relevant badges and updating linkage paths for better navigation.
- Add 'privacy.txt' to .gitignore to prevent checking it in
- Refactor data storage from arrays to dictionaries for better data handling in 'main.py'
- Include 'pathlib' import for handling filesystem paths
- Introduce new CSS and Bootstrap files providing updated styles and responsive design elements
- Modify HTML templates to use updated data structures and enhance accessibility
These changes improve code readability, maintain project consistency, and enhance the front-end presentation. This work is part of ongoing efforts to better manage project data, secure sensitive information, and provide a more robust user interface.
