Pituophis Versions Save

This release contains breaking API changes- take caution when updating.

• Selector class has been renamed to Item

• Globbing is fixed on Windows

• Single Items can now be sent by custom/alt handlers like strings and lists of Items can

• URL parsing has been rewritten to adhere to RFC 4266 (including %09 for search queries)

• URLs returned by Request().url() do not include :70 if the port is 70 (as this is the default port for all Gopher sites); they also do not add "/" to the beginning of selector strings (for Gopher servers that don't necessarily use this filesystem scheme)

• error.host is no longer used by default in the path/selector field of new Items (as it could be misinterpreted when looking at menu source code client-side); the field is now blank by default

• Plenty of refactoring, tidying and other good things

• TreeGopher demo added and readme updates

Default handler

• Globs no longer breaking out of public directory
• Markdown files have item type 0 (text) in directory listings instead of the default type 9 (binary)

Client

• parse_url() checks if path ends with a '/' and sets type to 1

This is actually just 0.98 but with a fixed setup.py.

Server:

• An advertised port can be set (for handler usage) for when you're rerouting the "advertised" port (like 70) to the actual server port

Default handler:

• Glob sorting (and in turn, sorting of directory listings) now works correctly, and directories are on top of files
• Checks if a file with an unknown MIME type is actually a directory before giving it that type, otherwise gives it the 9 (generic binary) type; applies to ? pseudotype and globbing

Server:

• Listens on any hostname, not just 127.0.0.1. Fixes outside connections, which were previously broken.

• When getting the Request object of a Selector object, the query will be set if that's in the selector's field
• urllib is now used for parsing URLs
• IPv6 support (wrap IPv6 address in square brackets)

Server:

• Fix when serving information selectors from a gophermap
• Type guessing, Gopher globbing and gophertags for feature parity with Bucktooth
• Globbing is used for directory listings

Default handler:

• URL redirect page has a title

Client:

• Extra tabs are now discarded, which means menus with Gopher+ selectors don't absolutely explode (a Good Thing™)

Default handler:

• Directory listings now display file size and last modified date
• Directory listings now display directory items without crashing

Default handler:

• Relative links fixed and converted into real paths
• Directories without trailing slash now work correctly
• "URL:" requests are now redirected
