I had a good week mostly working on technical things for advanced users.

Full changelog: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/changelog.html

notes in sidecars

You can now import and export file notes with sidecars! There's a technical compromise I had to make here, which is that a note in a sidecar comes in the form 'name: text', both for import and export. If you want to import a whole bunch of notes, you'll need to wangle them into this format, or, if you can, use string processors to get them into that format. There's an escape sequence, ':\ ', for if your name has a colon in, too. Have a play with it and you'll see how it works.

The changelog and a new section in the sidecars help talks about it more, including issues about multi-paragraph notes. I suspect I'll be revisiting this, so let me know how it works for you!

neat user submission

This is advanced.

A user contributed two cool new things for the parsing system:

First, there's a new content parser type, 'http headers', which lets you parse something to be submitted in all subsequent URLs created by the current job. It should let us figure out some unusual tokens and pseudo-login issues.

Second, there's a new String Conversion type that lets you calculate the hex hash of any text for the normal hydrus suite of hashes--md5, sha1, sha256, sha512.

more http header stuff

This is advanced.

On my end, I added full custom http header management to the Client API this week. Basically anything global/domain related that you see under network->data->review http headers can be done via API now. This has been a long time coming, and I am glad it is finally out the door. It should allow for setting up some complex site access via the API.

next week

Next week is a 'medium size job' week. I'm not sure what I want to do. I've been thinking of a complete pass to let us edit timestamps, but there's a million other things in my list, so I'll think about it. I'm still a little busy with some IRL stuff, so it might end up being a two-week release.
