Features and Improvements

• Behavior change: ia download, Item.download(),
  File.download(), and the top-level internetarchive.download()
  now send cnt=0 by default, so downloads no longer count toward
  archive.org view counts. Pass --count-views (CLI) or
  count_views=True (library) to opt back in; the parameter is
  omitted from the request entirely in that case.
• ia download, ia delete, and ia list now accept --glob
  and --exclude flags multiple times in addition to the existing
  pipe-separated form. --glob "*.mp4" --glob "*.xml" is now
  equivalent to --glob "*.mp4|*.xml", and the two forms can be
  mixed. Item.get_files() also pipe-splits list-element patterns
  for glob_pattern and exclude_pattern, so callers can pass
  mixed forms like glob_pattern=['*.mp4|*.xml', '*.jpg']
  (#769 <https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/pull/769>_).

Bugfixes

• Fixed write_review sending POST data as form-encoded instead of JSON.
  Now sends the request body as a JSON-encoded dict with Content-Type: application/json via the requests json parameter
  (#753 <https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/pull/753>_).
• Restored append_list deduplication that was lost in a prior refactor,
  preventing duplicate values from being appended to multi-value metadata
  fields (#767 <https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/pull/767>_).
• Fixed ia metadata --remove failing to match semicolon-delimited
  subjects with leading whitespace (e.g. "foo; bar; baz" split into
  [" bar", " baz"]). Values are now stripped after splitting
  (#768 <https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive/pull/768>_).

  Collections docs
