Sample mode

Sample mode has been added to moonshine to return a more varied selection of the desired file format example to file format researchers. The results will be selected across a distribution of all the pages available to the Shine interface.

To use sample mode you can do the following:

moonshine --sample --ffb cafebeef | xargs wget

Developing moonshine

Goreleaser

Testing goreleaser can be done as follows:

• goreleaser release --skip-publish

Valid semantic versioning looks as follows:

• vMM.mm.pp-rc.n

Where -rc.n are optional, e.g. used purely for release candidates.
