The commit mode ensures pictures are not corrupted when Instaloader is
unexpectedly interrupted. In the case that the last picture is corrupted
because of an interruption, Instaloader will redownload the picture.
Since the metadata is the last object saved to disk, we can consider a
post as "committed" if its json metadata file exists and is not
malformed. Instaloader should download any posts which are not
committed. Downside is commit mode requires metadata to be saved.

* Allow reading arguments from file
function referenced from instagram-scraper,
which provide a convenient way to hide sensitive information.
This reverts commit 8423e3bd00. The channel did
not have as much activity as expected and an IRC channel does not work if there
are not at least a few people in it.
Presents code examples that use the instaloader module for more advanced tasks
than what is possible with the Instaloader command line interface.
Presents #46, #56, #110, #113, #120, #121.
Further, document all attributes that are referred to, and ensure that there
will be no broken references again by letting Travis call Sphinx with -W -n.
- Consistent background color in all types of codes
- Improve dd (list item) padding
- Link to Index in global TOC in navbar
- Briefly describe Instaloader in `index.html` title
- Remove page contents (navbartoc) in index, genindex and installation
- Link to new pypi.org rather than old pypi.python.org
{date_utc} encodes the post creation date in UTC rather than the
current local timezone, as {date} does.
This was proposed in #69. Encoding the post creation date in
local time zone induces problems regarding --fast-update when the
time zone is changed.
The introductionary sections of as-module and cli-options have been
rewritten. Further, Instaloader's short-description is now included in
the sidebar.
- Added owner_id and mediaid to Post class properties.
- In case of not downloading stories, the attributes of the Post class
can now be used in filename-pattern, e.g. {post.owner_id} or {post.mediaid}.
Closes #53.
- If when retrying a failed connection ^C is hit, the retrying is
aborted,
- Option --max-connection-attempts to override default of how many
connection attempts should be made.
Closes #51.
With --metadata-json, a JSON file for each post is created saving the
Post properties defined in instaloader.Post class, i.e. caption, number
of likes, people tagged in caption or the picture itself, etc.
This closes #33 and closes #47.
caption_hashtags is a list of all hashtags that are mentioned in the
Post's caption. It allows to easily filter Posts that have multiple
hashtags, and as such fixes #24.
Further, the documentation of --only-if has been completed by linking to
a description of the syntax in the Python documentation, and by linking
to a list of all defined properties with their meanings. So, this commit
also closes #42.
