    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

  • v1.4.0 04. 01. 2016 Added a bit more flexibility to the "special cases" system. It now factors in the original source

  • 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)
