rpass-2021.09.08.pr4

The Housekeeping Update - Fourth public release of rpass

This release focuses primarily on polishing rpass and tying up loose ends before
making any major changes in the future.

New features:

**overhaul error message using exceptions
**add exceptions for unknown arguments
**make clean, colorful file list by exporting to document and removing extensions
**make a manpage
**multi-line notes?

Changes:

- fixed gpg decryption warnings
**optimize code (specifically for when there is no folder but there is a slash)
**add version info argument
**update rsync config wizard
**fix rsync delete on upload
**properly comment the code
**validate for Python 3.10
**do a better job at clearing /dev/shm

Planned for next update (The Secret Update):

- allow to function as alternative to gnome keyring (libsecret integration)

Planned, no timeline:

- create separate gui frontend targetting mobile devices (first linux phones, maybe android at a later date - official iOS client not likely)
    ^ the gui will also function on desktop linux
- make platform agnostic (add windows support and package for more Linux distributions)
- ability to pass entries as arguments for more functions
- auto-completion on tab (currently unsure of best way to make this work)

rpass 2021.09.07.pr3.1

The Sync and Foundations Update - Hotfix

Changes:

- gpg configuration now prompts for expiration, rather than defaulting to two years
- rsync is now configured to not delete anything from any remote device when uploading
    ^ this behavior may be modified in the future - this is a quick fix to prevent data loss

- fixed a bug with deleting entries from folders
- entry directory now has more secure permissions
        ^ these permissions are re-enforced every time rpass is used
- fixed some small typos and potential bugs, made some small optimizations

Planned for next update (The Housekeeping Update):

- move to github
- get rid of gpg decryption warnings
- proper error messages using 'except'
- add exceptions for unknown arguments
- cleanup file list by exporting to document and removing .gpg, adding color
- add a manpage
- allow notes to be multiple lines long (break lines after so many characters)
- validate for Python 3.10
- properly comment the code

Planned, no timeline:

- allow to function as alternative to gnome keyring (libsecret integration)
- create separate gui frontend targetting mobile devices (first linux phones, maybe android at a later date - official iOS client not likely)

- make platform agnostic (add windows support and package for more Linux distributions)
- ability to pass entries as arguments for more functions
- auto-completion on tab (currently unsure of best way to make this work)
