v4.3.0

Change log

This release introduces the --config option, which allows passing configuration options in a JSON file, rather than as command line flags. This is both to improve security (#48) and to make configuration a bit saner.

If you want to use this, you can create a JSON file containing your configuration options. E.g.

{
  "server": "mstdn.thms.uk",
  "access-token": "{token}",
  "home-timeline-length": 200,
  "max-followings": 80,
  "from-notifications": 1
}

Then run FediFetcher with the --config flag supplied:

python find_posts.py --config=path/to/config.json

• No update needed, as this doesn't apply to GitHub Actions

• If you wish to use the new config option, pull the latest version of the code, and create a JSON file with your configuration options.
