v0.17.0

This release introduces the first draft for a major feature: the ability to compare the analysis of two code branches.

Now you can use the --compare-with option to compare with a git tag, sha1, or branch.

ast-metrics analyze --compare-with=main /path/to/your/code

New Features

• Introduced a new command-line flag --compare-with for comparing branches or commits.
• Updated HTML reporting to include dynamic badges and progress bars based on comparison results.

v0.16.0

• New Features
  • Added a screen in the UI to generate HTML report directly from the CLI application
  • Added new maintainability linter

Now you can lint your code with something like:

requirements:
  rules:
    maintainability:
      min: 85

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed issues in data handling and rendering across multiple UI components.
  • Fixed issue with relative package names in Golang
  • Fixed issue with relative Git paths
  • Fixed issues with the config file generated by the init command

v0.15.0

• New Features

  • Added a new package dependency diagram for PHP and Golang
  • Introduced a configuration system for setting up analysis metrics (.ast-metrics.yaml)
  • Added a config flag in the main application for loading configuration from a file.
  • Implemented a new init command to create a default configuration file for easy setup.
  • Enhanced analysis capabilities with the evaluation of code against specified requirements and detailed reporting in HTML and Markdown formats.
  • Now you can share a screenshot of your HTML report

• Improvements

  • Refined logic for handling exclude patterns and report paths within the application configuration.
  • Improved handling of dependencies and calculations for coupling metrics in the analysis process.

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed formatting and alignment issues in various parts of the codebase to ensure consistency and readability.

v0.14.0

• New Features

  • Introduced new metrics (average afferent and efferent coupling, and instability) in analysis reports.
  • Expanded the list of generated HTML files for more comprehensive reporting, including interactive radial bar charts for various metrics (e.g., maintainability, complexity, LOC, afferent/efferent coupling, and instability).
  • Added interactive features to radial bar charts, such as zooming, tooltips, and a color legend.

• Bug Fixes

  • Corrected the label in the cyclomatic complexity chart
  • Updated a navigation link to direct users from "Help" to "Contribute"

v0.0.13-alpha

• New Features

  • Introduced class coupling metrics to enhance code analysis, including afferent and efferent coupling calculations and instability.

• Refactor

  • Updated the report generation to display new coupling metrics and instability ratio, improving readability and understanding of code dependencies.

v0.0.12-alpha

• New Features

  • Introduced representation for external dependencies in code analysis (fan-in, fan-out - afferent/efferent coupling)
  • Enhanced error detection and logging for files that could not be analyzed, with specific enhancements for PHP file analysis.
  • Improved handling and display of dependencies in reports, including a new "Dependencies" column in detailed views.

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed error handling and logging mechanisms across various components to provide clearer, more informative error messages.
  • Adjusted test cases to align with updated logic and error handling improvements.
  • Supports non UTF-8 classnames

• Refactor

  • Streamlined error handling by returning errors directly in some functions, reducing dependency on external logging packages.

• Added version command to display the current version, operating system, and architecture.
• Enhanced file complexity analysis by adding the sum of complexity metrics for functions.
• Improved risk analysis by incorporating maximum cyclomatic complexity and differentiating between procedural and OOP files.

Bug Fixes

• Adjusted filename display in the UI to truncate long names for better readability.
• Fixing formula for calculating cyclomatic complexity for non-object-oriented languages.

v0.0.10-alpha

New Features

• Introduced search functionality across CLI components, allowing for filtering and sorting by search results.
• Added a new ScreenRisks feature to display top refactoring candidates based on risk metrics.

Enhancements

• Updated navigation controls, removing q as a trigger for returning to the home screen, now utilizing ctrl+c and esc only.

v0.0.9-alpha
