#tarball

Replace zip archive with tarball for ease of Docker container injection.

#null

• Add --print0 option to integrate with the common GNU/BSD | xargs -0 convention.

#ux

Clarify scanner logic. Register debug message when skipping include makefiles during dry run analysis.

#netbsd

• Fix port generation
• Add target x86_64-unknown-netbsd to precompiled binary archive

#options

• Add -n / --dry-run passthrough option to external make implementation tools
• Add -l / --list option for integration with external linters
• Add more test cases
• Update Rust

#onward

• Refine grammar to handle commands like \curl
• Add new warning RESERVED_TARGET for use of non-special, reserved targets and prerequisites
• Sort warnings by line number (roughly), for easier navigation

#enrichment

• Allow escaped newlines in more places, according to POSIX specifications. For example, make users may want to use multiline rule prerequisite lists, when managing long .PHONY or .IGNORE sequences.
• References to "policy" have been simplified to "check" for scanning operations and "message" for reported descriptions.
• Additional linter checks implemented.
• Existing checks refined. For example, UB_LATE_POSIX_MARKER now triggers when *.include.mk files feature the .POSIX: strict special target.
• Minor consistency improvement to the rendered warning message format.
• Add further illustrative examples, clarification, and minor grammatical enhancements to documentation.
• Refactor code layout for maintainability.

#docs-and-ports

• Fix crate / API link integration.
• Attach pre-compiled binary ports for many platforms.

#lint-ahoy

Many bugfixes and enhancements in this release.

• Refine makefile grammar for robustness.
• Include lines now take precedence over macros. This assists when linting for UB_AMBIGUOUS_INCLUDE.
• Fix inspect control flow for various kinds of files.
• Fix how machine generated makefiles are detected and skipped for linting.
• Detect gyp projects.
• Refine error handling and error message formatting.
• Preserve path casing in inspect::Metadata reports.
• Add new attributes to inspect::Metadata reports.
• Reduce some internal boilerplate in the unit test code.
• Add more tests.
• Refine documentation.
• Implemente our first set of standard makefile linter warnings.

Linter warning topics range from Undefined Behavior (UB) to hazards of global empty .INCLUDE declarations, to wasteful No-OPerations (NOP's) to simplifying boilerplate, to basic .PHONY semantics, to proper use of .POSIX declarations, to minor makefile performance enhancements.

Skipping pre-compiled ports out of expediency. An upcoming hotfix will soon generate fresh ports.

#recursion

• unmake now accepts a list of multiple file and/or directory paths.
• unmake now recurses over directories.
• .git, node_modules, and vendor are skipped.
• Machine-generated makefiles are skipped.
• Symlinks are skipped.
• Implementation-specific filenames like GNUmakefile and BSDmakefile are skipped.
• -d / --debug shows skipped file paths
• -i / --inspect provides high level details about potential makefile paths
• Error messages about accessing files now name the offending file path
• Added more unit tests
• Minor performance enhancement when generating parse error messages
