  • v1.6.1 05/05/2022

    Accounted for content headers being lowercase
  • v1.6.0 15/09/2017 Major refactoring
  • v1.5.2 14/09/2017 Quick fix to accommodate Wayback Machine's April update, where images without im_ flag are served as HTML
  • v1.5.1 19/04/2016 Added another substitution case for Apache directories. Optimized background collection
  • v1.5.0 11/02/2016 Now supports backgrounds set by CSS.
  • v1.4.2 01/02/2016 Fixed issue where backgrounds would always be erraneously identified as dead
  • v1.4.1 05/01/2016 Fixed "image links to" condition, added more default "special cases"
  • v1.4.0 04/01/2016 Added a bit more flexibility to the "special cases" system. It now factors in the original source
  • v1.3.0 02/01/2016 Now supports backgrounds
  • v1.2.3 30/12/2015 "impatient" cases will only be used if they are proper images

  • v1.1.6 25/11/2015 Now accommodates cases where if you were to visit an image directly, Wayback Machine would redirect you elsewhere (Though I hope to find a better way to detect such cases besides looking at the response text)
  • v1.1.5 10/11/2015 Added support for HTTPS and made sure the "closest" timestamp part actually worked.
  • v1.1.4 24/10/2015 Fixed a small fatal typo
