    Accounted for content headers being lowercase

  • 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
  • v1.5.1 2016-04-19 Added another substitution case for Apache directories. Optimized background collection
  • v1.5.0 2016-02-11 Now supports backgrounds set by CSS.
  • v1.4.2 2016-02-01 Fixed issue where backgrounds would always be erraneously identified as dead
  • v1.4.1 2016-01-05 Fixed "image links to" condition, added more default "special cases"
  • v1.4.0 2016-01-04 Added a bit more flexibility to the "special cases" system. It now factors in the original source
  • v1.3.0 2016-01-02 Now supports backgrounds
  • v1.2.3 2015-12-30 "impatient" cases will only be used if they are proper images

  • v1.2.0 2015-12-18 Now accommodates special cases
  • v1.1.6.1 2015-11-25 Removed duplicate evaluateImage command
  • 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)
  • v1.1.5 2015-11-10 Added support for HTTPS and made sure the "closest" timestamp part actually worked.
  • v1.1.4 2015-10-24 Fixed a small fatal typo
