[0.4.0] - 2018-09-19

Changed

The bot will no longer respond to Bild Plus links. A Bild Plus link is any URL where the path starts with /bild-plus/.
The bot will no longer respond to Internet Archive links. These links usually contain a full and valid Bild URL, but they are preceded by https://web.archive.org/.../. The bot will ignore all Bild links if they are found immediately following a slash (/).

[0.3.0] - 2018-03-29

Added

The bot now also handles submissions.
Added an option --prosfile to control where the bot stores the IDs of processed submissions. The default is processed_submissions_SUBREDDIT.txt in the bot's working directory. The submissions file will be kept to a maximum of 500 processed submissions.

[0.2.0] - 2017-10-31

Added

Added an option --procfile to control where the bot stores the IDs of processed comments. The default is processed_comments_SUBREDDIT.txt in the bot's working directory.
Added an option --sleeptime to control how long the bot will go to sleep in case there is an API exception (default: 15 minutes).

Changed

The bot will now keep a maximum of 600 processed comments in storage. When more than 600 processed comment IDs are stored, the procfile is pruned down to 500 comments.
The bot will now log a message when it is quit via keyboard interrupt (Ctrl-C).
