Changelog

Dates are given in YYYY-MM-DD format.

v0.3

v0.3.4 (2021-mm-dd)

Features

• 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)

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
• Improved error handling

Bugfixes
