- Allow importing of url or host lists.
echo https://www.reddit.com/r/good >good-urls.txt
pluck import-allow good-urls.txt

noop can be used to avoid a rule at the same priority level. For
example to block all content from ‘um.com’, except for the ‘ok’
subdomain, i.e., ‘ok.um.com’:
pluck add "block image/"
pluck add "block um.com"
pluck add "noop ok.um.com"
noop can be thought of as “unblock” or “unallow”.
- Handle legacy “level:2” syntax.
- On Windows and macOS, attempt to handle bigger imports (v0.99.x +
failed to handle imports with more than about 800k entries).

- Deprecate levels.
The old way:
pluck set "level 2"
pluck set "level 1"
The new way:
pluck add system
pluck del system
Or, if you like arithmetic symbols:
pluck + system
pluck - system
The old syntax is accepted for awhile, as is the level 1 / level 2
interface in the browser. But underneath, it uses a boolean
feature named “system”, which if on, indicates Pluckeye should
operate at what was traditionally known as “level 2”.
- On Windows, avoid random infinite loop

pluck add allow user:susan
pluck add block bad.com user:peter
- The registration feature (accountability) has been dropped (a replacement is in the works)
- Automatic expedite does not work at present. To trigger expedite checking:
pluck mayprove
- Settings are not synced to u.pluckeye.net (yet).
- Delays may now vary not only based on time, but also based on the
rule being added or removed. E.g., to specify a 10 minute delay
for removal of block rules:
pluck + "delay 10m - block"
- And much more.
