# Changelog

## v0.19.0 (2018-02-13)

- Enhancements
    - Finding the data table is now done via a named lookup table instead
      of calling the database state server
    - Old data tables are deleted with a configurable delay after reloading
      to avoid race conditions (and the resulting empty lookup responses)
    - If you need to check if the database is loaded (i.e. "no longer empty")
      you can use `RefInspector.ready?/0`

## v0.18.0 (2017-12-31)

- Enhancements
    - Download task name has been shortened to `ref_inspector.download`
    - Reloading the database if part of the configuration is missing or broken
      (database path / database files) will issue a warning while resuming
      operation with an empty database

- Deprecations
    - The reload method `RefInspector.reload_databases/0` has been renamed
      to `RefInspector.reload/0`
    - The mix task `ref_inspector.yaml.download` has been renamed. The
      alias in place will be removed in a future version

- Bug fixes
    - ETS tables are now properly cleaned after reload

## v0.17.0 (2017-11-15)

- Enhancements
    - All databases can be reloaded (asynchronously) using
      `RefInspector.reload_databases/0`
    - Configuration can be done on supervisor (re-) start by setting a
      `{ mod, fun }` tuple for the config key `:init`. This method will be
      called without arguments
    - When using the mix download task with a default remote configuration an
      information README file is placed next to the downloaded file(s)

- Soft deprecations (no warnings)
    - Support for `{ :system, "ENV_VARIABLE" }` configuration has been
      removed from the documentation. It will eventually be removed completely
      after a proper deprecation phase
