  90. I set up the exception framework that I talked about yesterday, and have now released a new version of <a href="https://git.vola7ileiax4ueow.onion/y.st./include.d/releases">include.d</a>.
  91. This really is a minor update, but it paves the way for future work.
  92. The <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr> branch is going to see many exception-throwing instances added by the time that it finishes.
  93. It&apos;ll be much easier to fix up my use of exceptions now so I have fewer to go back and replace later.
  94. </p>
  95. <p>
  96. I&apos;ve also started making commits in the <code>master</code> branch of the Git repository, a practice that I was avoiding once I started using other branches.
  97. The idea had been that the stable version of include.d was available from that branch.
  98. However, I made my release a bit too early, so I didn&apos;t think of a couple things that I should have coded and later went back to touch them up.
  99. These things weren&apos;t big enough to warrant another release, but keeping a side branch to remember to tuck into the next release seems inefficient.
  100. I&apos;ve already started using Gogs&apos; &quot;release&quot; feature, so there&apos;s no need to additionally keep the <code>master</code> branch at a stable position.
  101. From here on out, I&apos;ll use the <code>master</code> branch for small touch ups that should exist in every branch, in addition to any stable code that, again, needs to find its way into the other branches.
  102. </p>

  104. It looks like my old count of the number of <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr> schemes left to build <abbr title="PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor">PHP</abbr> classes for was somehow off by two, so I&apos;ve corrected that in my notes.
  105. I still have 247 schemes left to go though.
  106. I had hoped to finish one scheme per day, but that was far too ambitious.I knew that I wouldn&apos;t be able to keep that up once school was back in session, but I was hoping to make decent progress until that point.
  107. At this rate, it&apos;s going to take <strong>*years*</strong> to finish the <abbr title="Uniform Resource Identifier">URI</abbr> update for include.d.

  110. My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
