v1.0.6 - 2025-12-23

Added

• new configuration setting LINKBACKS_IGNORED_URLS_PATTERN to define some URLs that should never be considered for linkbacks (e.g. youtube.com)
• manual execution mode: python linkbacks.py $pelican_generated_html_file

Changed

• JSON cache structure evolved to now store the linkbacks requests status.
  This is not backward-compatible, and the plugin will ask you to remove any pre-existing pelican-plugin-linkbacks.json file.
