Project brough back to life

1.0.0

• Bring back project to life.
• Change in project structure

  • signals

    • delete_hit_count from hitcount.models has been moved to hitcount.signals.
      • The argument save_hitcount to the function delete_hit_count_handler (this process the signal delete_hit_count) is now keyword-only. The earlier design pattern was a case of boolean-trap.

  • mixins

    • HitCountMixin from hitcount.models has been renamed as HitCountModelMixin and moved to hitcount.mixins.
    • HitCountMixin from hitcount.views has been renamed as HitCountViewMixin and moved to hitcount.mixins.

  • models

    • BlackListIP renamed to BlockedIP.
    • BlackListUserAgent renamed to BlockedUserAgent.
    • The ip field for Hit model has been made optional. This hopefully makes the project GDPR compliant. Please open an issue if still isn't.
      • To maintain backwards compatibility with django-hitcount, an additional setting :ref:HITCOUNT_USE_IP<hitcount_use_ip> has been added.

  • views

    • hitcount.views.update_hit_count_ajax that was to be removed in django-hitcount 1.2 has been removed. Use hitcount.views.HitCountJSONView instead.

    • hitcount.views._update_hit_count that was to be removed in django-hitcount 1.2 has been removed. Use hitcount.mixins.HitCountViewMixin.hit_count instead.

  • removed additional dependency of django-etc.

  • added additional unit tests. Test coverage is now 100%.
