v0.5.5 — 8 December 2025: "Customers enjoy internal documents"

Dependency update; functionality is unchanged.

Full Changelog: v0.5.5...v0.5.6

v0.5.5 — 5 November 2025: "Pervasive smell of kimchi"

Fixed bug where damage.Checker failed on None encoding detection.

Full Changelog: v0.5.4...v0.5.5

v0.5.4 — 29 October 2025: "AI library books"

Character encoding detection was changed slightly so that you can weight it in certain direction like, say, Windows-1252/cp1252. This can help with incorrect coding detection if you already suspect what the encoding of a file is.

It's not perfect, but perfect is the enemy of good.

Full Changelog: v0.5.2...v0.5.4

v0.5.2 — 28 October 2025: "The practice of practising"

Enormous speed improvements!

• Stat package checking now uses multiprocessing for vastly swifter checking
  And by vastly, I mean expontential. And not fractional exponents.
• tqdm progress added so you're not wondering whether the application is hanging or whether you should go for lunch
• Command line application errors now output to stderr instead of stdout

No binaries yet, use pip or pipx.

Full Changelog: v0.3.14...v0.5.2

v0.3.14 - 25 March 2025: "Egyptian blocks"

A plethora of changes:

• Unified versioning for all damage products. It looks like the GUI version went backwards but causality has still been preserved.
• fcheck has been renamed to damage because there's no reason why it should have two names.
• Cross-platform capability is much improved because of a switch to using pathlib.
• Build back-end switched to poetry.
• GUI no longer uses PySimpleGUI; switched to FreeSimpleGUI instead.
• JSON output is now a single unified JSON.
• Mimetypes are now included with file information.
• Command-line damage can now output tsvs.
• Installation with pipx or pip now includes both command line and GUI products.
• Binaries compiled with nuitka.
