This release is notable for the inclusion of a simple CGI-based
XML-RPC server which can read Bloom filters sent by
a client and use them to prevent the same image from being
returned twice.
The server is Python-based and uses the same library that the
client uses. This is less than ideal because the library does not play
nicely with other language implementations, notably Maciej's Bloom::Filter.
On the other hand, it works today using the Python
hooks and I will revisit the problem at a later date.
There are a few more details to fuss with but the application
pretty much does everything it was designed to and I plan to bless
it as a beta in the next week or two.
