[0.1.0] - 2026-09-26 @ 16:20

Summary

Establish the MyCount documentation website and development foundation, with shared coding conventions and a tested release workflow. Add the shared MariaDB layer and explicit schema setup as the foundation for collection and reporting. Add local IPv4/IPv6 geolocation and an installer with weekly reference-data updates.

Added

  • Separate GeoIP download, import, schema, and lookup components using the free ipapi.is IPv4 and IPv6 datasets and the shared MariaDB layer.
  • Root installer for the application, database, credentials, systemd service, and weekly GeoIP cron job; refreshes publish both address families together.
  • Collector skeleton with HTTP handling, visit preparation, and persistence in separate components.
  • Visit entity for passing validated visit data between processing activities, independent of database persistence.
  • Generic DbMgr with parameterized queries, UTC connections, transaction rollback, read-only transactions, and explicit connection cleanup.
  • Separate visitor schema activity with reporting indexes and relational constraints, designed for repeatable installation and upgrade setup.
  • PyMySQL dependency, focused database tests, and a data access guide linked from the documentation index.
  • JavaScript page-view client and Jekyll example targeting https://count.osoyalce.com/, with a linked integration guide.
  • Project mission documenting the mydynip testing purpose, planned visitor metrics, browser and service components, and privacy boundaries, linked from the homepage.
  • Jekyll configuration for mycount.osoyalce.com using the dark Minimal Mistakes theme.
  • Minimal homepage linking coding guidelines, release management, and the changelog.
  • AGENTS.md and MyCount coding guidelines covering component responsibilities, constants naming, and focused documentation.
  • Python package foundation with DMyCount.VERSION, initially 0.0.1.
  • Release script that updates the version and changelog, merges feature work through dev to main, and publishes an annotated tag.
  • Six isolated release tests covering successful publication, prereleases, invalid input, dirty working trees, duplicate versions, and help output.
  • Release guide documenting development checks and the maintainer’s release workflow.

Changed

  • Replace the preliminary MaxMind integration with local ipapi.is reference data; widen city names to accommodate verified upstream values.
  • Update the planned reporting design to use browser fingerprinting for estimated unique-browser counts; simplify collection documentation and remove outdated privacy claims. Fingerprinting implementation remains pending.
  • Use index.md as the sole documentation root, require every documentation page to be reachable from it, and simplify the README to a website pointer; record these conventions in the coding guidelines.
  • Document development ownership: the AI assistant handles implementation, tests, and documentation; the project owner owns architecture, all Git operations, and release scripts.
  • Extend .gitignore for Jekyll output, caches, and local Bundler dependencies.
