v2.2.0

[2.2.0] - 2024-08-28

🚀 Pure Python Release - XOR Binary Removal

This release removes the XOR C binary dependency and implements a fully optimized Python-based XOR decryption system.

Changed

🐍 Pure Python Implementation

• XOR Decryption: Replaced C binary with optimized Python implementation
• Chunked Processing: Implemented 8KB chunked reading for better performance
• Simplified Dependencies: No C compiler required anymore
• Cross-Platform: Pure Python solution works identically on all platforms

Removed

🗑️ Binary Dependencies

• XOR C Source: Removed xor.c file from project
• Binary Directory: Deleted entire bin/ folder and compiled binaries
• Platform Detection: Removed platform-specific XOR binary path logic
• Configuration: Removed xor_binary_path from configuration system
• CLI References: Removed XOR binary status from info command

Performance

⚡ Optimized Python Decryption

• Chunked Processing: 8KB chunks instead of byte-by-byte processing
• Memory Efficient: Reduced memory footprint with streaming
• Fast Execution: Optimized bytearray operations for speed
• No External Dependencies: Eliminates subprocess overhead

Migration Guide

For Users

• No Action Required: All existing workflows continue to work
• Better Performance: Pure Python implementation is actually faster for typical workloads
• Simplified Setup: No need to compile C binary anymore

For Developers

• Removed APIs: decrypt_with_xor_binary() method removed
• Configuration: xor_binary_path property no longer exists
• Tests: XOR binary tests removed from test suite
