searchit v0.5.8

Searchit v0.5.8

Searchit v0.5.8 is a refinement release focused on improving the command-line experience, output correctness, and interactive terminal behavior. This release introduces a cleaner output pipeline, better terminal ergonomics, smarter target handling, and numerous reliability improvements across scanning and fuzzing.

Highlights

Output Pipeline

• Redesigned the output pipeline around strict UNIX semantics.
• Enforced consistent separation between serialized output (stdout) and informational output (stderr).
• Removed legacy output buffering and simplified formatter execution.
• Improved consistency across Text, JSON, NDJSON, CSV, and Markdown output formats.

Terminal Experience

• Redesigned the live progress interface.
• Standard scans and fuzzing continue to provide exact progress reporting.
• Recursive scans now display deterministic runtime activity instead of misleading percentage estimates.
• Simplified the interactive statistics view.
• Improved interactive rendering stability and synchronization.

Networking

• Added automatic protocol detection for targets without an explicit scheme.
  • HTTPS is attempted first.
  • Falls back to HTTP only when HTTPS is unavailable.
• Added --http-version for explicit HTTP protocol selection.

Redirect Presentation

• Added dedicated redirect formatting for HTTP 3xx responses in text output.
• Redirects now display the requested path together with the Location header instead of the response size.
• Structured output formats remain unchanged.

CLI Improvements

• Introduced a condensed --help focused on commonly used options.
• Added --help-all for the complete command reference.
• Improved overall help organization and usability.
