NEWS file for summain
=====================


Version 0.11, released 2012-02-11
---------------------------------

* Now properly supports sub-second timestamps. Previously, the timestamps
  were limited by the Python standard library's use of floating point
  values for timestamps, which didn't give the full nanosecond precision.
  Summain now uses a C extension to call the `lstat`(2) system call
  directly, to get the full precision.

Version 0.10, released 2011-08-09
---------------------------------

* Added support for JSON and CSV output formats, in addition to the default
  RFC822-like one. (See `--output-format` option.)

Version 0.9, released 2011-07-24
--------------------------------

* Paths can now be normalized using checksumming, instead of the previous
  silly attempt at inventing names for components.

Version 0.8, released 2011-06-12
--------------------------------

* Uses newer cliapp API for defining settings.
* Adds support for additional checksums: MD5, SHA224, SHA256, SHA386, and
  SHA512.   
* Adds a speed-test utility to compare summain with other similar tools.
  It is about as fast as md5sum(1) and sha1sum(1).
* Manual page's list of options is now automatically generated.
* Subdirectories are now sorted, to provide a more systematic output.

Version 0.7, released 2011-05-18
--------------------------------

* Support microsecond precision in timestamps.

Version 0.6, released 2011-05-18
--------------------------------

* Add --exclude option to exclude some fields from the output. This also
  prevents the field values from being computed, resulting in speedups.
  Most important for the SHA-1 field, of course.

Version 0.5, released 2011-03-20
--------------------------------

* Add --mangle-paths option.

Version 0.4.1, released 2011-03-20
-----------------------------------

* Fix empty Debian package.

Version 0.4, released 2011-03-12
--------------------------------

* Adapt to cliapp API changes.
* Tell cliapp the application version so that "summain --version" works.

Version 0.3, released 2011-02-13
--------------------------------

* Add --relative-paths option.

Version 0.2, released 2011-02-13
--------------------------------

* Now uses the cliapp Python framework.
* No longer reports size of directories, since that is meaningless,
  and makes it harder to use diff to compare directory trees.
