Buku

2016-05-15

Modifications
To begin with, 2.0 is a significant release with respect to options. `Buku` now has fewer options with more (and merged) functionality. Please go through the program help at least once to understand the changes.

- Replace getopt with argparse for parsing arguments
- Long options for each short option
- Options changed
- insert: removed as automatic DB compaction serves the purpose (previously `-i`)
- iterations: removed as optional argument to `-l` and `-k` (previously `-t`)
- title: `-t` is now the short option to set title manually (previously `-m`)
- Special search keywords for ALL search (`-S`):
- tags: show all tags (previously `-g`)
- blank: show bookmarks with empty tags (previously `-e`)
- lock/unlock: now accepts number of hash iterations to generate key
- format: print formatting option changed to `-f` (previously `-x`)
- help: option added to show program help
- Following options apply to ALL bookmarks without arguments
- `-u`, `--update`
- `-d`, `--delete`
- `-p`, `--print`
- Shell-completion scripts for Bash, Fish and Zsh
- Warn if URL is not HTTP(S)
- More comprehensive help
- Fix a bug with deletion when only one entry in DB
- Some import dependencies removed or late loaded (if optional)
- Handle exception if DB file is encrypted or invalid
