A note on versioning: This librarys major version will grow with the APIs 
version number. Breaking changes will be indicated by a change in the minor
(or major) version number, and will generally be avoided.  

v1.8.0
------
* BREAKING CHANGE: Switch the base URL to None, throw an error when no base url is passed. Having mastosoc as default was sensible when there were only three mastodon servers. It is not sensible now and trips people up constantly.
* Fix an issue with the fix for the Pleroma date bug (thanks adbenitez)

v1.7.0
------
* Cleaned code up a bit (thanks eumiro)
* Fixed some Pleroma related issues (thanks aveao, taraletti, adbenitez)
* Added post editing (`status_update`, `status_source`, `status_history`)
* Added missing streaming events
* Added missing parameters on directory endpoint (thanks heharkon)
* This isn't somehing I changed but thank you a / triggerofsol for answering Many questions I had about specifics of what the API does that are not documented
* Fixed search ignoring `exclude_unreviewed` (Thanks acidghost)
* Added support for using pathlib paths when loading media files (Thanks reagle)
* Removed blocklist with long dead instances
* Added `types` parameter to notifications.
* Documented additional notification types
* Made version parsing more robust against varions things that Mastodon-compatible APIs might throw at it.
* TECHNICALLY BREAKING CHANGE, but I would be quite surprised if this actually breaks anyone: Date parsing will now, when the date string is empty, return Jan. 1st, 1970 instead. This is to work around what I assume is a bug in Pleroma.

v1.6.3
------
* Add server rules API (`instance_rules`)
* Add confirmation email resend API (`email_resend_confirmation`)
* Add account lookup API (`account_lookup`)
