Version 0.11

Version 0.11

New Features:

• Command-Line Flexibility: Now you can customize your config file path using -c or --config flags. The default remains 'config.ini'.
• Man Page: Introduced a man page for NotiMail, making it easier for users to understand usage and options.
• Dynamic Database Location: Configure your database path in the settings, allowing for more flexible deployments.

Changes:

• Codebase:
  • Introduced argparse to enable command-line arguments. You can now specify the path to a configuration file using the -c or --config option.
  • Moved the configuration reading to the top of the script to make it globally accessible.
  • Updated the logging setup to use the log file location from the config file (LogFileLocation). If not set, it defaults to notimail.log.
  • Modified the DatabaseHandler class to use the database location from the config file (DataBaseLocation). If not set, it defaults to processed_emails.db.
  • Improved Logging: Logs now include thread names, providing clearer insights into operations.
  • Stability Upgrades: Enhanced handling of 'BYE' responses from servers. Plus, in case of connection loss, the tool will now auto-retry to maintain smooth operations.
  • Socket Timeout: Adjusted the default socket timeout setting to further optimize responsiveness.
• Configuration (config.ini):
  • Introduced a new [GENERAL] section. You can specify LogFileLocation and DataBaseLocation within this section to set the desired paths for the log file and database, respectively.
