v2.0.0

Added

• kdk issues reads the last run's findings without validating again.
• kdk-ignore comments mute findings for a whole file or a single line.
• --github prints findings as GitHub Actions annotations, so a red run shows them inline instead of only in the log.
• --strict exits non-zero on warnings as well as errors.
• --severity, --category, --list and -q narrow or shorten the output.
• kodi_release setting to override the detected Kodi release.

Changed

• validate prints the findings themselves, grouped by file. On a terminal it offers a category picker; redirected, it prints all of them.
• Progress is one self-updating line on a terminal and nothing at all when redirected. Per-file detail is behind --debug.
• Progress no longer reports issue counts. They were counted before filtering and disagreed with the summary.
• -o writes whichever format is selected, including --json.
• Kodi reference snapshots are committed rather than fetched at build time, so a source checkout validates correctly.
• validate prints its summary to stdout, so redirecting to a file captures it. Progress stays on stderr.
• validate reports the Kodi release and reference data it loaded; step-by-step engine detail is behind --debug.

Removed

• PySide6 is no longer a runtime dependency, so a CLI install no longer pulls Qt. Install the GUI with pip install kdk[gui]; the GUI binaries are unaffected.

Fixed

• Font findings name the include that defines the font instead of Fonts.xml.
• A font pulled into several fontsets is reported once rather than once per fontset.
• Font paths in a subdirectory are matched case-insensitively, so a case mismatch reports as one instead of as a missing file.
• Constants now resolve; bare names in whitelisted nodes and attributes were left untouched.
• validate --json exits non-zero when errors are found.
• --debug is accepted after the subcommand, not only before it.
• Line-ending and BOM errors now count toward the summary and the exit code.
• A check that crashes reports an error instead of passing silently.
• Script and service add-ons no longer always resolve to Omega.

v1.1.0

Added

• Boolean conditions are checked against Kodi's parser: a $VAR or $INFO inside a condition, a misplaced operator, or an undefined $EXP is flagged instead of silently evaluating false at runtime.

v1.0.1

Fixed

• No more false "control ID not defined" errors on reused includes or in Timers.xml.
• pulseonselect no longer flagged as invalid on mover controls.
• Errors in Defaults.xml now show at their source, not on every control that uses the default.

v1.0.0

Initial release.

• Standalone Kodi skin validator extracted from KodiDevKit.
• CLI (kdk validate) with terminal summary, JSON output, and text reports.
• PySide6 GUI with double-click to open issues at the offending line.
• Pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Windows.
• Bundled Kodi reference snapshots (Omega + Piers) so it works without a Kodi install.
