Changes

Version 0.2.3 (2016-09-21)

• Adds an optional parameter in idutils.to_url to use HTTPS scheme for PID providers that support it.

• Detects and parses Handles and DOIs without the “http(s)://”, and ignores whitespace after scheme tags (eg. “doi: 10.123/456”).

Version 0.2.2 (2016-09-16)

• Fixes issue where a valid ISBN with dashes and spaces could not be normalized.

Version 0.2.1 (2016-06-17)

• Changes ISBN normalization to use isbnid instead of isbnlib. Now, importing this library will not change the default socket timeout, resulting in unwanted side effects.

Version 0.2.0 (2016-04-07)

• Changes URL resolution for DOIs to use https://doi.org instead of http://dx.doi.org according to https://www.doi.org/doi_handbook/3_Resolution.html#3.8

Version 0.1.1 (2015-07-22)

• Fixes GND validation and normalization.

• Replaces invalid package name in run-tests.sh and makes run-tests.sh file executable. One can now use docker-compose run –rm web /code/run-tests.sh to run all the CI tests (pep257, sphinx, test suite).

• Initial release of Docker configuration suitable for local developments. docker-compose build rebuilds the image, docker-compose run –rm web /code/run-tests.sh runs the test suite.

Version 0.1.0 (2015-07-02)

• First public release.
