fif/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

Dates are given in YYYY-MM-DD format.

v0.2

v0.2.12 (2021-???)

• Much better README.md
• Better documentation for command line arguments
• Added more stuff to test.py
• PKGBUILD for Arch-based distros

v0.2.11 (2021-04-04)

Features

• fif can now traverse symlinks with the -f/--follow-symlinks flag
• Extensions are no longer mandatory - running fif without -e or -E will scan all files, regardless of extension (files without extensions are still skipped unless the -S flag is used)

Bugfixes

• Fixed compilation on big endian 32-bit architectures (see [here]https://github.com/bodil/smartstring/blob/v0.2.6/src/config.rs#L101-L103 for why that was a problem in the first place)
• Fixed broken tests for the infer backend

Other

• Better mime type detection:
  • Consider "some/x-thing" and "some/thing" to be identical
  • Use a patched version of mime_guess (which took a while to make 0u0;) with many more extension<->type mappings

v0.2.10 (2021-03-26)

• PowerShell support!

v0.2.9 (2021-03-17)

• Replaced a bunch of PathBufs with Paths, which should reduce memory usage
• Formatting improvements

v0.2.8 (2021-03-03)

Features

• Added much more information - author, copyright, etc. - to --help/-h output
• Scan files without extensions with -S (by default, such files are ignored)

Bugfixes

• Using -s to skip hidden files no longer skips all files if the root directory itself is hidden

Other

• The ScanError enum now contains a PathBuf - Errors now return ScanError rather than (ScanError, PathBuf)
• Renamed modules in accordance with Rust's API guidelines

v0.2.7 (2021-03-01)

• Default to WARN-level logging if RUST_LOG isn't set
• Added a drone CI config
• Added test.py for automated building and testing against Rust stable, beta, nightly, and the MSRV specified in Cargo.toml
• Added a test for argument parsing
• Documentation! And lots of it! 0u0

v0.2.6 (2021-02-28)

• Added tests!
• Default to xdg-mime on all Unixy platforms, not just Linux - this also includes the various *BSDs (I've tested FreeBSD), macOS (haven't tested, but I have a very old MacBook running Leopard that has file preinstalled, so it should work fine), Redox OS (haven't tested), etc.

v0.2.5 (2021-02-27)

• Use xdg-mime by default on Linux, infer elsewhere

v0.2.4 (2021-02-22)

• Proper(ish) XML document support
• Display version in help output

v0.2.3+hotfix (2021-02-22)

• A quick hack to fix broken/non-existent support for XML document files - docx, odt, etc.

v0.2.3 (2021-02-22)

Features

• Automatically disable xdg-mime backend on Windows
• Exit codes
• Improved error handling

• Shell script output now uses printf instead of echo
• Added infer backend

Bugfixes

• Fixed broken singlethreaded support

Other

• Use a global backend instance instead of passing &db around constantly
