The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Unreleased

Other

  • Use parking_lot's RwLock instead of the built-in one for a slight performance increase

v0.4.0 - 2021-10-14

Added

  • --fix mode - instead of outputting a shell script or text file, fif will rename the misnamed files for you!
    • By default, the user will be prompted only if fif encounters an error while renaming the file, or if renaming the file would cause another file to be overwritten. This behaviour can be changed with the new p/--prompt flag: -p always to be prompted each time, -p error to be prompted on errors and when a file would be overwritten by renaming, and -p never to disable prompting altogether - this behaves the same as answering "yes" to every prompt.
    • The --overwrite flag must be specified along with --fix in order for fif to process renames that would cause an existing file to be overwritten. Without it, fif will never overwrite existing files, even with -p always. Caution: If this flag is set in combination with --prompt never, fif will overwrite files without asking!
    • For a more thorough breakdown of how these flags work, see the corresponding wiki page.

Changed

  • The Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is now 1.48.0.
  • Capped help output (-h/--help) width at 120 characters max
  • Output is now sorted by filename - specifically, errors will appear first, followed by files that fif is unable to recommend an extension for, in order of filename, followed by files that fif knows how to rename, again in order of filename.

Other

v0.3.7 - 2021-09-25

Added

  • -j/--jobs flag for specifying the number of threads fif should use for scanning files
  • AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format, a PCM audio format like WAV) detection to infer backend
  • --version output now includes the (short) hash of the git commit fif was built from

Changed

  • fif will no longer use multithreading when scanning less than 32 files - the overhead of spawning threads isn't really worth it

Other

  • Refactoring - split fif into main.rs and lib.rs, moved file-related functionality (directory scanning, etc.) into files module, removed string module, etc.
  • Changelog "refactoring":
    • Based on the somewhat popular Keep a Changelog guide, splitting the previous "Features" heading into "Added" and "Changed" sections, renaming "Bugfixes" to "Fixed", and removing the headings that (pointlessly?) previously divided the changelog into v0.3, v0.2, and v0.1
    • A few minor grammar tweaks and reorganisations
  • Replaced cached dependency with a simple HashMap-backed store
  • Replace all occurrences of once_cell's OnceCell with equivalent Lazy-based implementations

v0.3.6 - 2021-08-16

Other

  • Fixed another major dependency issue - clap version 3 beta 2 pulls in clap_derive version 3 beta 4, causing fif to fail to build unless you use --locked. Cargo.toml now explicitly depends on clap_derive v3b2, which should fix this in (hopefully) all cases...
  • Added an explicit dependency on bitflags 1.2.1, as 1.3+ requires Rust >= 1.46

v0.3.5 - 2021-08-16 [YANKED]

Other

  • Updated Cargo.toml to pin clap to version 3 beta 2 - previously, version 3 beta 4 was considered compatible and would be used if you ran cargo install fif instead of cargo install --locked fif, however, fif does not work with this version of clap, which caused the build to fail. Also, clap 3 beta 4 depends on Rust >= 1.54, breaking our MSRV
  • Fixed a few other Cargo.toml dependency versions that were causing issues when building on MSRV

v0.3.4 - 2021-08-07

Added

  • -I/--ignore-unknown-exts flag for ignoring files with unknown extensions - for example, if fif doesn't know what a ".fake" file is, setting this flag will prevent it from renaming "photo.fake" to "photo.jpg". This is useful for avoiding the case where fif incorrectly mislabels an obscure format it isn't aware of as something else.

Other

  • Refactored formats.rs
  • More accurate dependency versions in Cargo.toml to ensure that the MSRV stays supported
  • Sister project (?) [new-mime-guess] is now v3.0.0, updated to 2018 edition Rust, and with some new file and MIME types added

v0.3.3 - 2021-07-07

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

Changed

  • 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

Fixed

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

Other

  • Block compilation if both the xdg-mime-backend and infer-backend features are enabled

v0.3.1 - 2021-06-07

Added

  • JSON output support via -o json
  • Plaintext output support via -o text

Changed

  • videos is now an alias for video

Other

  • More extensive README documentation

v0.3.0 - 2021-04-28

Added

  • -x/--exclude flag for excluding file extensions (overrides -e or -E - -E images -x jpg scans all image files, except ".jpg" files)
  • -X/--exclude-set flag for excluding sets of files, with the same syntax and sets as -E
  • -q/--quiet flag for reducing output verbosity

Changed

  • 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
  • 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
  • Changed default verbosity to info

Fixed

  • 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
  • CI has been vastly improved

v0.2

v0.2.13 (2021-04-26)

Added

  • -v/--verbose flag for setting verbosity without using RUST_LOG
  • System extension set (.dll, .so, .exe...)
  • infer backend now supports Ren'Py archive (.rpa) files

Changed

  • 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
  • Added Apple iWork document formats to Documents extension set (.pages, .key, .numbers)

Fixed

  • 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

  • Cleaned up and properly documented tests
  • Renamed Script (in formats.rs) to Shell, in line with renaming in parameters.rs
  • 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)

Added

  • Text extension set
  • Better documentation for command line arguments

Fixed

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

Other

v0.2.11 (2021-04-04)

Added

  • fif can now traverse symlinks with the -f/--follow-symlinks flag

Changed

  • 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
  • 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)

Fixed

  • 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

  • Formatting improvements

v0.2.8 - 2021-03-03

Added

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

Fixed

  • 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

Added

  • Proper(ish) XML document support
