- Introduced a locking mechanism to ensure journal mode is initialized once per configuration section, preventing redundant database operations.
- Added a validation function to check for required repeater tables, raising an error with actionable messages if any are missing.
- Updated the DBManager to handle journal modes more efficiently, ensuring that only persistent modes are applied across connections.
- Refactored the RepeaterManager to utilize the new validation function, improving error handling during initialization.
- Enhanced tests to cover new journal mode behaviors and validate repeater table existence, ensuring robust database management.
- Added a tracked `LICENSE` file and updated `pyproject.toml` to include license metadata.
- Enhanced `CHANGELOG.md` with recent changes and clarifications.
- Updated `config.ini.example` and related documentation to reflect clamping behavior for numeric limits in `[Feed_Manager]`.
- Improved startup validation to suggest corrections for unknown and misspelled keys.
- Refactored geocoding and HTTP request handling to run off-thread, preventing event loop stalls.
- Added thread safety to cache management in geocoding functions to avoid race conditions.
- Increased the per-user rate limit from 5 to 30 seconds across multiple configuration files to reduce response frequency.
- Added the version command to the configuration examples and updated help text to include the new command.
- Refactored version information retrieval in the bot and web viewer to utilize a shared runtime resolver for consistency.
- Improved documentation in README.md to reflect changes in commands and configuration options.
