markdown_link_attr_modifier's Issues

remove rel=noopener as it is no longer needed

The page linked at About rel=noopener reports that

2021 update: Browsers now implicitly set rel=noopener for any target=_blank link, following a spec change.

Should it be removed from the extension to avoid extraneous code?

Old version disappeared from PyPi, breaking builds that depend on old version

Hi there, just a heads up: The 2.0.0 version apparently disappeared from PyPi:

https://pypi.org/project/markdown-link-attr-modifier/#history

Not sure why, but this broke our build. We pin our dependencies on specific versions, so that when our dependencies get updates, that we still use the same old version, so that we don't run into unexpected surprises.

However, when the old version disappears from PyPi, our build breaks, and we still run into an unexpected surprise ;). Typically old versions are not removed, exactly for this reason. So maybe you were unaware of that. So giving you a heads up for that.

There are some exceptions where it is appropriate to remove an old version, like severe security vulnerabilities.
