v0.6.0 - 2025-12-27

Added

  • Improved error handling during download
  • Methods convert/convert! for batch conversions of inventory data files separated from download sessions (#16)
  • Method clean! to clean the product folder recursively from any files not belonging to the inventory (#16)

  • Functions attach! and detach! to mark extra data exempt from clean! procedures (#17)
  • Function list_inventory to show a simplified folder and file tree and statistics about the inventory and the downloaded portion (#17)
  • Public method load_inventory to load the inventory saved in the product folder (#32)

Changed

  • sftp_download now returns the inventory for further exploration (#20)
  • Refactored inventory internally to mostly use SortedDict instead of OrderedDict; change depencies from OrderedCollections to DataStructures (#18)
  • Updated inventory metadata (#20)
    • Breaking: Added size and converted size fields to metadata/database with the overall file sizes of the original format and the size of already converted files (#18)
    • Consider folders with a size of 4K instead of 0 to estimate the maximum database size
    • Breaking: add a version number to metadata to allow better tracking of changes in the inventory (#18)
    • Breaking: Rename converted field with the converted file size to size.<ext> in each date dict
    • Update dependencies in docs before using make docs (#18)
    • Breaking: Add "downloaded size" entry to inventory database metadata to monitor the actual downloaded part of the database (#26)
  • Simplify favicon
  • Improved documentation and logging
  • Rename previous method convert! to _convert! to avoid conflicts with the new method and leave the method internal and not part of the public API (#16)

  • Make internal load_inventory! method return a reference to the modified inventory as well
