Publ v0.8.8 released

I’ve released Publ v0.8.8. It adds one new feature, namely the user object now has an is_bot flag to indicate whether the site is being perused by a declared bot.

This functionality is particularly useful for implementing crawler mitigations, which have been quite effective with the current onslaught of badly-behaved crawlers.

I have also finally begun to collect some useful recipes.

v0.8.6 released

Publ v0.8.6 is out; in this release I just added a better default token store for authentication, which will now work correctly in a multiprocess configuration (as opposed to the old default which would work with multiple threads but not multiple processes).

I’ve also finally documented how to provide your own token store for more exotic configurations, although that, much like Sam Reich, has been here the whole time.
