# Changelog
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).

## Unreleased
### Changed
- Perform fix for "unnecessary" Unicode characters after we try to fix encoding
issues with ftfy
- ftfy heuristics to use `is_bad()` instead of `sequence_weirdness()`
- ftfy `fix_text()` to *not* change “smart quotes” to "ASCII quotes"

### Updated
- Python dependencies

### Added
- Ability to drop invalid AGROVOC values with `-d` when checking AGROVOC values
with `-a <field.name>`

## [0.5.0] - 2021-12-08
### Added
- Ability to check for, and fix, "mojibake" characters using [ftfy](https://github.com/LuminosoInsight/python-ftfy)
- Ability to check if the item's title exists in the citation
- Ability to check if an item has countries, but no matching regions (only
suggests missing regions if there is a region field in the CSV)

### Updated
- Python dependencies

### Fixed
- Regular expression to match all citation fields (dc.identifier.citation as
well as dcterms.bibliographicCitation) in `experimental.correct_language()`
- Regular expression to match dc.title and dcterms.title, but
ignore dc.title.alternative `check.duplicate_items()`
- Missing field name in `fix.newlines()` output

## [0.4.7] - 2021-03-17
### Changed
- Fixing invalid multi-value separators like `|` and `|||` is no longer class-
ified as "unsafe" as I have yet to see a case where this was intentional
- Not user visible, but now checks only print a warning to the screen instead
of returning a value and re-writing the DataFrame, which should be faster and
use less memory

### Added
- Configurable directory for AGROVOC requests cache (to allow running the web
version from Google App Engine where we can only write to /tmp)
- Ability to check for duplicate items in the data set (uses a combination of
the title, type, and date issued to determine uniqueness)

### Removed
- Checks for invalid and unnecessary multi-value separators because now I fix
them whenever I see them, so there is no need to have checks for them

### Updated
- Run `poetry update` to update project dependencies

## [0.4.6] - 2021-03-11
### Added
- Validation of dcterms.license field against SPDX license identifiers 

### Changed
- Use DCTERMS fields where possible in `data/test.csv`

### Updated
- Run `poetry update` to update project dependencies

### Fixed
- Output for all fixes should be green, because it is good

## [0.4.5] - 2021-03-04
### Added
- Check dates in dcterms.issued field as well, not just fields that have the
word "date" in them

### Updated
- Run `poetry update` to update project dependencies

## [0.4.4] - 2021-02-21
### Added
- Accept dates formatted in ISO 8601 extended with combined date and time, for
example: 2020-08-31T11:04:56Z
- Colorized output: red for errors, yellow for warnings and information, green
for changes

### Updated
- Run `poetry update` to update project dependencies

## [0.4.3] - 2021-01-26
### Changed
- Reformat with black
- Requires Python 3.7+ for pandas 1.2.0

### Updated
- Run `poetry update`
- Expand check/fix for multi-value separators to include metadata with invalid
separators at the end, for example "Kenya||Tanzania||"

## [0.4.2] - 2020-07-06

- Add field name to the output for more fixes and checks to help identify where
the error is

- Use Poetry instead of Pipenv
