Sherlock

What's Changed Most users should see a significant reduction in false positives (on an ongoing basis) after updating to this release. Nothing is ever perfect (regional differences, etc), but noise should be reduced by a notable margin.

Manifest contributors this cycle: @RahalBhupathi @abhirai7 @pandyah5 @roxerj @Wicloz @slavran [_[full changelog]_][release-diff] _ #### ‼️ Tor deprecation detail --tor and --unique-tor are now deprecated, and both are up for possible removal in a future release (#2200). Users who need time to adapt to this change can install the now-optional dependency [_torrequest_][ext-torrequest]. If Sherlock has been installed via pip, pip install 'sherlock-project[tor]' will include the necessary extras Since torrequest is simply not available as an rpm, those options have already been patched out of the Fedora release. _ #### 📦 Packaging info Many packages are required to be built entirely offline, as with the official Fedora release and the upcoming community-supported Debian release. Sherlock's unit tests generally require an internet connection, but with the adoption of tox and pytest, we've added offline-only test modes. tox -e offline is the preferred offline-only test method, with pytest -m "not online" also being supported out of the box. Reference @ppfeister's [_spec file_][ext-rpm-spec] for an example of fully-offline unit testing with tox.
