1.1.1 – 2025-04-29

Changed

• Consolidate Cli struct: removed its duplicate definition in cli.rs, moved the single source-of-truth into models.rs, and updated the import in main.rs.

Fixed

• Improve justfile path handling: properly quote full_name and verify that output_directory is created (erroring out if it isn’t).

1.1.0 – 2025-04-29

Added

• Bundle and install CLI shell completions (Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell, Elvish) alongside release binaries, with correct output-directory handling.

  • Supports a configurable output directory
• Changed compress-binaries to compress

Fixed

• Clippy errors in lic/src/cli.rs and removed the obsolete License::iter implementation in lic/src/license.rs.
• build.rs warning output now omits redundant cargo:warning= prefixes and correctly logs OUT_DIR and PROFILE.
• Release workflow and Justfile checksum tasks now: • Produce unified .sum files (SHA256, MD5, BLAKE3)
  • Remove stale checksum files before generation
  • Fail on any error instead of silently continuing
• Updated the release step to use the new checksum method and upload .sum artifacts.

Added

Changed

• Refactored CLI to leverage Clap’s argument groups and flattened common structs (LicenseArgs, FileProcessingArgs).
• Switched many logs from info! to debug! and trace! for more granular output.
• Enhanced render_license to use the full Date type (not just year) when generating copyright.
• Applied broad code formatting and idiomatic Rust improvements across modules (app, cli, commands, utils).
• Updated CI workflow: the packaging step now runs just package instead of just build-release.
• Improved Justfile:
  • build-release and package recipes now accept --bin and dynamic target flags.
  • Refined defaults, alias definitions, and checksum generation for clarity.
• Pinned all dependencies in Cargo.toml to exact versions; regenerated Cargo.lock with updated checksums.
• Brought CHANGELOG.md up to date with the current release structure.

Deprecated

• Deprecated and removed the Python-based scripts/parse_comments comment-token generator (moved to its own repository).

Fixed

• Corrected cargo install instructions in README.md to install the lic binary only.
