v0.11.1

Fixed

• Power Query parameters used inside a record are no longer reported as unused. A
  name passed as a record value, such as Source{[Schema = SchemaParam, Item = "t"]} or
  Headers = [Key = TokenParam], was skipped, so the expression it names was flagged as
  unused even though removing it breaks refresh.

Downloads

• CLI: the ripbi-<version>-<target>.zip / .tar.gz archives contain ripbi and rib.
• Desktop (experimental, Windows x64): use ripbi-desktop-<version>-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc-setup.exe for the graphical interface. It shares this release's version and analysis engine.

The desktop installer is currently unsigned, so Windows may display an unknown-publisher or SmartScreen warning. It installs for the current user and downloads WebView2 if the runtime is missing (internet access required). Desktop updates are manual: download and run the installer from a newer release. ripbi update updates only the CLI.

Full Changelog: v0.11.0...v0.11.1

v0.11.0

Added

• ripbi fetch downloads a model and every report built on it. Point it at a
  semantic model (a portal link, --workspace/--model, or type-to-filter pickers) and it
  finds every downstream report across workspaces, skips org-app copies, and prints
  which reports you can read before downloading anything — a scan that sees only some
  of a model's reports flags whatever only the missing ones use as unused. An incomplete
  set asks first on a terminal and refuses (exit 2) in CI unless
  --allow-incomplete. The model (TMDL) and the reports (PBIR) land in a folder with
  a ripbi.toml, so ripbi scan runs there with no flags (--scan does it for
  you), and .ripbi/source.json records where everything came from and what is
  missing. Signs in with the Azure CLI, an environment token, or a service principal;
  --dry-run forecasts only, --verify cross-checks the beta relations API.
• scan warns about an incomplete fetch. Scanning a fetched folder whose
  source.json lists reports that could not be downloaded emits an
  incomplete_report_set skip notice naming them, so --strict fails on it.

Changed

• Pickers filter as you type. On a terminal, the project picker (scan, report,
  and deps in a folder with several projects) and the fetch workspace and model
  pickers are one shared list: type to filter, arrows to move, Enter to choose, Esc to
  cancel. Piped input still gets the numbered list.

Fixed

• Legacy .Report folders are read. A report folder with no definition/ (saved
  without the PBIR preview, or downloaded by fetch from a report the service stores
  in the older format) keeps its layout in a root report.json. It was parsed as a
  PBIR file: unknown_property notices for config, sections and theme, and none
  of its visuals counted, so fields only that report used were flagged unused.
• Legacy layouts know every built-in visual. The matrix (pivotTable), shapes,
  KPIs, 100% stacked charts, buttons, navigators and the newer slicers and cards no
  longer raise unknown_object notices; their fields were already counted.

• chore(release): prepare 0.11.0 by @github-actions[bot] in #196

Full Changelog: v0.10.1...v0.11.0

v0.10.1

Fixed

• scan --compare-root no longer reports a model's existing findings as new when the
  other checkout had no connected reports. Connecting a model's first report used to
  compare against a skipped baseline as if it were clean, so every existing unused
  object failed the gate. The comparison now records the baseline as skipped: unused
  objects that already existed there are unverified (counted under the summary line,
  unverified: records in --plain, compare.unverified in --json) and never gate,
  while objects the change adds are still new. --json reports every baseline's
  coverage as compare.baseline (scanned, skipped, or unavailable); the Markdown
  summary and SARIF note an incomplete baseline too.
• Measures used only in a visual container's conditional formatting are no longer
  reported unused. A PBIR background, border, or title rule driven by a measure
  (visualContainerObjects) now binds that measure, like a rule in the visual's own
  formatting.
• A clean scan --summary no longer prints two blank lines above the verdict. The
  blank line under the notes already separates them, so the summary adds its own only
  when it has counts to separate from the verdict.

Full Changelog: v0.10.0...v0.10.1

v0.10.0

Changed

• scan output puts the verdict last and ranks its notes. The scan now opens with
  the model's name and report count, lists its notes as indented ! lines (they change
  how to read the result: stale or partial stats, a by-name pairing) or dim · lines
  (background), and closes with the verdict as the last line of the output:
  ✓ No unused objects or ✗ 56 unused objects, then 74 of 130 reachable from 51 roots. Full paths, and the stats note when coverage is complete, appear only with
  --verbose. The note that external consumers are invisible now appears only when there
  are findings, as a hint under the verdict to check thin reports, Excel and XMLA
  clients before removing anything. Skip notices print above the report instead of
  after it. --json, --plain, SARIF and the Markdown summary are unchanged.
• report and deps share the layout. Both open with the same model-name header
  and tiered notes, and end with a closing line: report with ✓ All bindings resolve or ✗ 2 unresolved bindings and what it read, deps with what the
  selection uses and what uses it. deps drops the every-run caveat that external
  consumers are invisible; the hint now appears only under a view with an Impact
  section. The stage ticker no longer prints a ✓ scanned … in 1.4s line; the wall
  time sits at the end of each command's closing line.
• stub-report and update share the layout too. stub-report opens with the
  model's name, lists its notes as !/· lines, and ends with ✓ Created X.pbip and
  the next step under it (✓ Saved …/.pbi/cache.abf under --wait); the .pbip path
  is still alone on stdout. update ends with ✓ Updated ripbi 0.9.1 → v0.9.2 or
  ✓ ripbi 0.9.1 is up to date, and the daily new-version notice is a dim · line.

Added

• [scan].external_consumers = "none" in ripbi.toml says nothing outside the
  scanned reports reads the model, and drops the check-before-removing hint.

v0.9.1

Fixed

• Bridge tables are no longer reported unused. A table that nothing references but
  that sits on the filter path between two live tables, such as Bridge in a snowflake
  Sales → Bridge → User, used to be reported unused, and deleting it broke the filter
  from User to Sales. Such a table now stays live along with its partitions and
  relationships, though its unreferenced columns are still reported. Filter direction
  counts: an unused dimension shared by two live fact tables is still a finding unless a
  relationship filters both ways. Every ingest format now reads cross-filter direction and
  cardinality.

Full Changelog: v0.9.0...v0.9.1

v0.9.0

Added

• scan --emit tx-rm: the findings as JSON Lines for tomix's batch removal, so
  ripbi scan --emit tx-rm | tx rm --from - ./Model.SemanticModel --save removes every
  unused model object, dead auto date/time tables included, as one change. Each line names
  its object by type, table, and name, with ripbi's id beside it; report measures and
  bookmarks are comment lines. Needs a tx with rm --from.
• Workspace-monitoring query logs (--queries-from PATH on scan and deps, or
  queries_from in ripbi.toml): an export of Fabric workspace monitoring's
  SemanticModelLogs (or Log Analytics' PowerBIDatasetsWorkspace) QueryEnd events
  — CSV, JSON rows, a Kusto REST or Log Analytics query API response, plain,
  gzipped, or zipped — makes every object a logged DAX or MDX
  query names a reachability root, so what Excel pivots, thin reports, and XMLA
  clients read stops being reported unused. ripbi deps --impact shows those objects
  in a Queried section (how often, how many users, last seen, clients, reports) and
  in queried plain records and a JSON queried array; scan --json counts them in
  summary.queried. User names never reach the output. A workspace-wide export is
  narrowed to the scanned model by ItemName/ItemId (--queries-item or
  queries_item when the service name differs), so another model's queries never
  keep this one's objects alive; a log that does not identify the model is a
  stale_state skip notice, so --strict fails on it. A queried table keeps its
  columns alive (a table expression returns every one), not its measures.

Changed

• Broken visual bindings name the visual and page as Power BI Desktop shows them:
  the visual's type and literal title and the page's tab name, with the generated
  IDs in parentheses — lineChart visual 'Sick leave %' (id '6caf…') on page 'Absence' (id 'b725…') instead of only the IDs. Human, Markdown and SARIF
  output use the new phrase; scan --json adds it as broken[].location and
  keeps provenance unchanged, so baselines still match.
• Builds against zip 9. An archive member whose name cannot be read now fails
  with an error instead of being skipped silently.
