Stabilise API

Open xlotlu opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Release 1.0.7 broke the specialised matchers that are still documented here https://h2non.github.io/filetype.py/v1.0.0/match.m.html

One could make the argument that these functions are internal API since they're not officially documented in the examples, so it's ok to break them without even a minor version bump.

However, given the usefulness of these functions (e.g. for scenarios in which one only looks for images -- something often encountered in web development) please expose them officially in the examples, and keep them stable.

Definitively, the public interface of those functions should be managed as part of the package's public API contract.

Is there something left to do here?
