v2.0.1

List of Changes

• Fixed a bug that resulted in odd export file behavior.
  • If there is an issue, it should fail immediately instead of failing after all the checksums have already been calculated.
• The bash script has not changed, keep the current version if you already have it.

v2.0.0

List of Changes and New Features:

• Changed CLI parser from Apache Commons CLI to picocli.
  • Meaning to the user should be negligible.
  • Includes bash script for parameter autocompletion.
• Fixed minor issues with the progress bar noting the wrong file size. Now uses v0.9.5 of the library.
• Paths should be normalized so redundant symbols are not present in printing or saved files.
• A bit less buggy (hopefully).
• No longer has an *.exe release.
  • There was no good way to test if it worked across all Windows machines.
  • Better to resort to simply java -jar [compiled jar] or some other method.
• Internal buffer size is now only 8 MB.
  • Might be a bit better on RAM.
  • Doesn't have any meaningful observable effect on the user beyond that.
• Version (-V or --version) output also includes versions of included libraries (if applicable).
• Help (-h or --help) output also includes ANSI coloring for the terminal.
• Proper semantic versioning should be utilized.

v1.8.1b

(This is a pre-release, but the new features work as intended with no foreseeable bugs.)

List of New Features:

• No longer reads files byte by byte, now uses a 20 MB buffer like FileSplitter.
  • This dramatically increases efficiency on large files, especially on slower drives, such as optical media.
  • I thought I already did this, but I must've forgotten.
• Internal structure slightly changed to accommodate a future feature to be tested.
• Program now pre-loads all file paths, instead of running through them on the fly.
  • It prints out the file list before reading the files themselves.
  • Wording is also slightly different when reading and calculating.
  • Has no tangible effect beyond this and is not noticed when running without verbose mode enabled.
• Sorting of file names finally works now, which it didn't before due to capitalization of file names.

v1.8

Now includes a Windows EXE, which is untested. Use this executable at your own risk. If it does not work, use the standard JAR file.

List of New Features:

• Internally uses the Java Path interface and related functions instead of the File class.
  • This should have little to no effect on the end user, it's just to be more up-to-date internally.
• Returns the time taken to complete at the end.
  • Possibly useful for benchmarking or just for reference.
  • Accuracy down to milliseconds internally.
• Checksum file export is now sorted.
• Validation log now formats errored files in a more easily read list format.

v1.5

List of New Features:

• Parameters have long names and names for their associated arguments, if applicable.
• More error catching, to prevent some mid-operation faults and more specific error details to the user.
• Added option to check and verify a checksum file instead of generating it. Instead of just marking what files are invalid, it also:
  • Notes missing files.
  • Notes improperly formatted lines.
  • Notes hashes that appear to be made with the wrong algorithm (differing lengths).
• Help printout gives a program and version name.
  • Also gives a link to this repo for bug reporting, which you should do.

v1.0

First release. Usage is simple and should run relatively quickly.
How to use:
-a to specify the algorithm (defaults to SHA-256).
-p to specify the path (defaults to the working path).
-v flag to activate verbose operating, which prints the path and checksum of the file that was just processed live as it runs.
-e to specify the path of the output, otherwise doesn't output a file.
-h to print a help document similar to this.
