MacOS MDM & LaunchAgent Improvements

• Nothing of interest to Linux users
• Use LaunchAgents instead of cron (Mac)
• MDM helper scripts added to repo for mass deployment

Verify Connectivity

Bugfix:

• Check for an active internet connection before updating lists

Example Whitelist Change

The example whitelist was impeding blockage of improving.duckduckgo.com tracking.

If you previously installed, running this update won't block improving.duckduckgo.com

To block improving.duckduckgo.com:

• Edit your ~/autohosts/whitelist and remove duckduckgo (and any other example filter you don't care to whitelist).

This release is primarily to fix the minor bug for future installs.

Freedom of Choice

• You can now utilize your own choice upstream hosts curators, rather than being content with the (previously) hardcoded host list by Steven Black.

• Logic improvements and bugfixes

v2.0.1 with New Capabilities

• Bugfixes for the .deb installer
• Whitelist capabilities added

Bugfixes and .deb Installer

• Minor bugfixes for MacOS
• System paths reworked for the .deb installer in order to share the codebase between Debian and non-Debian based systems

Hubspot and Pendio Added

Marketing and "customer engagement" turds added to the filter lists.

If running a prior version, it's not necessary to re-clone the repo, they'll be appended to your list on next run of Autohosts!
