-----

- Bring back project to life.
- Change in project structure
- ``signals``
- ``delete_hit_count`` from ``hitcount.models`` has been moved to ``hitcount.signals``.
- The argument ``save_hitcount`` to the function ``delete_hit_count_handler`` (this process the signal ``delete_hit_count``) is now ``keyword-only``. The earlier design pattern was a case of `boolean-trap`_.
- ``mixins``
- ``HitCountMixin`` from ``hitcount.models`` has been renamed as ``HitCountModelMixin`` and moved to ``hitcount.mixins``.
- ``HitCountMixin`` from ``hitcount.views`` has been renamed as ``HitCountViewMixin`` and moved to ``hitcount.mixins``.

- ``models``
- ``BlackListIP`` renamed to ``BlockedIP``.
- ``BlackListUserAgent`` renamed to ``BlockedUserAgent``.
- The ``ip`` field for ``Hit`` model has been made optional. This hopefully makes the project GDPR compliant. Please open an issue if still isn't.
- To maintain backwards compatibility with ``django-hitcount``, an additional setting :ref:`HITCOUNT_USE_IP<hitcount_use_ip>` has been added.
- ``views``
- ``hitcount.views.update_hit_count_ajax`` that was to be removed in ``django-hitcount`` ``1.2`` has been removed. Use ``hitcount.views.HitCountJSONView`` instead.

- ``hitcount.views._update_hit_count`` that was to be removed in ``django-hitcount`` ``1.2`` has been removed. Use ``hitcount.mixins.HitCountViewMixin.hit_count`` instead.

- removed additional dependency of ``django-etc``.
- added additional unit tests. Test coverage is now ``100%``.
