Version 0.10.2 (09.08.2012) *fixed issue with 0.0.0.0 address not working *cleaned up logging output Known issues: *when calculating number of entries at end, mistakes hosts.head domains as redirect addresses

Version 0.10.1 (09.08.2012) *fixed issues with optimization pass, integrated it into main processing pass *fixed issue with 32-bit machines and touch

Version 0.10 (08.08.2012) *implemented an optimization option, which shrinks target hostfile size by putting all entries redirecting to the same address on the same line. *instead of processing all files in the cache, hostsblock now only processes those listed (and not commented out) in rc.conf *updated documentation in rc.conf *added another blocklist *simplified really long pgl.yoyo.com blocklisturl

Version 0.9.2 (06.08.2012) *added "FAIL" notifications *fixed issue with blacklist *fixed issue with 7z files *fixed documentation in rc.conf on mirrored, defunct blocklists

Version 0.9.1 (05.08.2012) *removed color interface output options (better for logging). *made output cleaner for logging. Enter a >>/var/log/[your logfile] after your crontab entry for it to enable logging. *improved behavior: only downloads new blocklists if they have been changed on the server. Saves bandwidth. *rc.conf in-text documentation updated accordingly. *removed antequated warning from install file.

Version 0.9 (04.08.2012) *cleaned up minor gliches when running under OS X *cleaned up non-color output *now exits if not run as root *new behavior: only writes to target hostsfile if changes detected *new option: allow/disallow dns redirections

Version 0.8.4 (24.07.2012) *minor code tweeks to hostsblock-urlcheck *colorized and more compact prompts for hostsblock-urlcheck

Version 0.8.3 (23.07.2012) *fixed hostsblock-urlcheck to check for both http and https domains. *simplified hostsblock-urlcheck usage. See "hostsblock-urlcheck --help" for details.

Version 0.8.2 (21.07.2012) *added "--compressed" option to curl commands to allow for compressed blocklist downloads (thanks ontobelli) *removed the modyouri blocklist from defaults since it included redirection and "junk" entries (noted in rc.conf comments) IT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED THAT YOU REMOVE THE MODYOURI ENTRY FROM RC.CONF.

Version 0.8.1 (15.06.2012) *changed hostsblock-urlcheck to also check given urls as to whether they are blocked or not (via "page" option). This is in addition to the whole page scan option ("scan"), which reads through the whole given page to see if contained subdomains are blocked or not. *regular behavior of hostsblock-urlcheck now relegated to "scan" option. See 'hostsblock-urlcheck help' for details.
