  • v1.6.0 2017-09-15 Major refactoring
  • v1.5.2 2017-09-14 Quick fix to accommodate Wayback Machine's April update, where images without im_ flag are served as HTML

  • v1.5.0 2016-02-11 Now supports backgrounds set by CSS.

  • v1.1.6 2015-11-25 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)
