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.
