Legitbot needs to quickly determine if an IP belongs to a set of ranges, because that's how Facebook returns its valid IPs. Issue #10 uncovered a bug in "segment_tree" library Legitbot was using to make this lookup. The most practical way of resolving the issue turned out to switch to another library "interval_tree".

Since the public API of Legitbot did not change, only the minor version number was incremented.

  • It turns out that Yandex's list of bot user agents changes over time. So, the list in "legitbot" is updated.
  • "legitbot" used to select the first matched rule in case of several matches. This behavior will be confusing in case of custom rules. So, now "legitbot" chooses the last match.
