v1.1

[1.1.0] - 2026-07-30

Added

• --quick / -q flag on hash — when a directory already has a
  checksum log, files whose size and modified time still match the log
  are trusted as unchanged and skipped, instead of being re-read and
  re-hashed. Only new or actually-changed files are hashed. Falls back to
  a full hash automatically if the cached log is missing, corrupt, or was
  written with a different algorithm.
• Move/rename detection in check — a missing file and a new file whose
  hashes match exactly are now reported as MOVED: old_path -> new_path
  instead of as an unrelated MISSING + NEW pair. A pure move does not
  affect the command's exit code, since nothing was actually lost. Can be
  disabled with --no-detect-moves / -nm to restore the previous
  MISSING + NEW behavior. Note: only pairs against new files inside
  directories that already have a log — a file moved into a brand-new,
  never-hashed directory is not detected as a move.
• tests/smoke_test.py extended with coverage for --quick (full reuse,
  partial reuse after a real change) and move detection (both threaded
  and sequential paths, plus --no-detect-moves).

v1.0.0

[1.0.0] - 2026-07-25

Initial release.

Added

• hash command — recursively scans a folder or drive and writes a checksums.json log inside every directory it visits, containing each file's hash, size, and modified time.
• check command — re-hashes files and compares them against the logs, reporting OK, MODIFIED, MISSING, and NEW per file, plus a summary and a nonzero exit code when issues are found.
• Self-healing logs: re-running hash refreshes every log and removes stale logs for directories whose tracked files have all been deleted.
• Support for five hash algorithms: md5, sha1, sha256 (default), sha512, blake2b.
• Threaded hashing via --workers for faster scans on large drives.
• Directory/file exclusion via --exclude-dirs and --exclude-files (glob patterns), with common noise directories (.git, node_modules, __pycache__, .venv, $RECYCLE.BIN, etc.) excluded by default.
• --no-recursive and --include-hidden flags for finer scan control.
• Optional --report flag on check to export a full JSON summary.
• Halo spinner during directory scanning, tqdm progress bar during hashing/verifying, and color-coded terminal output (auto-disabled for non-TTY output or via --no-color).
• tests/smoke_test.py — end-to-end regression test covering hashing, clean verification, and modified/missing/new detection.
• GitHub Actions CI workflow running the smoke test across Ubuntu/Windows/macOS and Python 3.10/3.13.
• GitHub Actions release workflow building standalone executables (Windows/macOS/Linux) via PyInstaller and attaching them to tagged releases.
