9 | | - * |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | + This is a major release with several new and improved features and bug |
| 9 | + fixes. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | + Some of the key highlights include: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + * License: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | + * Brand new, faster and accurate detection engine using multiple |
| 16 | + techniques eventually doing multiple exhaustive comparisons of |
| 17 | + a scanned file content against all the license and rule texts. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | + * Several new licenses and over 2500+ new and improved licenses |
| 20 | + detection rules have been added making the detection significantly |
| 21 | + better (and weirdly enough faster too as a side-effect of the new |
| 22 | + detection engine) |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + * the matched license text can be optionally returned with the |
| 25 | + `--license-text` option |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | + * The detection accuracy has been benchmarked against other detection |
| 28 | + engine and ScanCode has shown to be more accurate and |
| 29 | + comprehensive than all the other engines reviewed. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + * improved scoring of license matches |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | + * Package and dependencies: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + * new and improved detection of multiple package formats: NPM, Maven, |
| 37 | + NuGet, PHP Composer, Python Pypi and RPM. In most cases direct, |
| 38 | + declared dependencies are also reported. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + * several additional package formats will be reported in the future |
| 41 | + version. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + * note: the structure of Packages data is evolving and should not be |
| 44 | + considered API at this stage |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | + * Scan outputs: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + * New SPDX tag/values and RDF outputs. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + * new compact JSON format (the pretty printed format is still |
| 52 | + available with the the `json-pp` format). |
| 53 | + The JSON format has been changed significantly and is closer to a |
| 54 | + documented, standard format that we call the ABC data format. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + * Minor refinements on the html and html-app format. Note that the |
| 57 | + html-app format will be deprecated and replaced by the new AboutCode |
| 58 | + Manager desktop app (electron-based) in future versions. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + * Copyright: Improved copyright detection: several false positive are |
| 62 | + no longer returned and copyright s are more accurate |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | + * Archive: support for shallow extraction and support for new archive |
| 66 | + types (such as Spring boot shell archives) |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + * Performance: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | + * Everything is generally faster, and license detection performance |
| 72 | + has been significantly improved. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | + * Scans can run on multiple processes in parallel with the new |
| 75 | + `--processes` option speeding up things even further. A scan of a |
| 76 | + full Debian pool of source packages was reported to scan in about |
| 77 | + 11 hours (on a rather beefy 144 cores, 256GB machine) |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | + * Reduced memory usage with the use of caching |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | + * Other notes: |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + * This is the last release with Linux 32 bits architecture support |
| 84 | + * The scan of a file can be interrupted after a timeout with a 120 |
| 85 | + seconds default |
| 86 | + * ScanCode is now available as a library on the Pypi Python package |
| 87 | + index for use as a library. The documentation for the library usage |
| 88 | + will follow in future versions |
| 89 | + * New `--ignore` option: You can optionally ignore certain file and |
| 90 | + paths during a scan |
| 91 | + * New `--diag option`: display additional debug and diagnostic data |
| 92 | + * The scanned file paths can now reported as relative, rooted or |
| 93 | + absolute with new command line options with a default to a rooted |
| 94 | + path. |
