Changelog

Dates are given in YYYY-MM-DD format.

v0.3

v0.3.4 (2021-mm-dd)

Other

• Refactored formats.rs

v0.3.3 (2021-07-07)

Features

• Added --canonical-paths flag for outputting canonical paths in output - for example, mv /home/lynne/file.jpg /home/lynne/file.mp3 instead of the default mv file.jpg file.mp3

Other

• The FIF_LOG environment variable can now be used to set log level, in addition to RUST_LOG
• Log output now uses abbreviated level names: For example, [D] Message instead of [DEBUG] Message

v0.3.2 (2021-06-14)

Bugfixes

• Fixed PowerShell output regression introduced in v0.2.13, whoops

Other

• Nicer version output: fif -V reports "fif v0.3.2" (instead of just "fif 0.3.2" without the "v"), and fif --version reports fif v0.3.2 (XDG-Mime backend), or whatever backend you're using
• fif's trace output now includes its version, backend, operating system, and architecture
• Block compilation if both the xdg-mime-backend and infer-backend features are enabled

v0.3.1 (2021-06-07)

Features

• Added JSON output support via -o json
• Added plaintext output support via -o text

Other

• videos is now an alias for video
• More extensive README documentation

v0.3.0 (2021-04-28)

Features

• Added -x/--exclude flag for excluding file extensions (overrides -e or -E - -E images -x jpg scans all image files, except ".jpg" files)
• Added -X/--exclude-set flag for excluding sets of files, with the same syntax and sets as -E
• In addition to supplying included extensions as a comma separated list (like -e jpg,png), it is now possible to supply them through multiple uses of the -e flag (like -e jpg -e png). This also applies to -x
• -e and -E no longer conflict with each other, and can now be used together. For example, -E images -e mp3 will scan all images and all MP3 files
• It is now possible to specify multiple extension sets at once: -E images,system will scan all images and archives
• fif's output now includes the directory it was run from
• Added -q/--quiet flag for reducing output verbosity

Bugfixes

• Resolved some discrepancies between application/xml and text/xml

Other

• Published my fork of ['mime_guess'] as ['new_mime_guess'], allowing it to be used properly with crates.io
• The videos extension set has been renamed to video, in line with audio. fif --help has actually mistakenly referred to the set as video since v0.2.12! 0uo
• CI has been vastly improved
• Changed default verbosity to info

v0.2

v0.2.13 (2021-04-26)

Features

• Added -v/--verbose flag for setting verbosity without using RUST_LOG
• Added system extension set (.dll, .so, .exe...)
• Output is now sorted: Files that couldn't be read, then files with no known mimetype, then files with no known extensions, then files with the wrong extension

Bugfixes

• Fixed some bad formatting in PowerShell output
• Always quote file paths in output, even when not necessary - This makes output more portable and less likely to break in future, or if snailquote misses something

Other

• Added Apple iWork document formats to documents extension set
• Cleaned up and properly documented tests
• Renamed Script (in formats.rs) to Shell, in line with renaming in parameters.rs
• Added .rpa (Ren'Py archive) support to infer backend
• xdg-mime no longer uses git version
• Output \r\n on Windows
• Use a macro to generate Writable arrays, making the code a little cleaner and nicer to write

v0.2.12 (2021-04-14)

Features

• Added Text extension set
• Better documentation for command line arguments

Bugfixes

• Fixed a very minor output bug relating to scanning symlinked directories
• Better detection for pre-OOXML Office files

Other

• Much better README.md
• Added more stuff to test.py
• PKGBUILD for Arch-based distros
• More test coverage
• Doubled BUF_SIZE

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 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
