Changelog

All notable changes to dotnet-coupling are collected here.

0.4.0

Phase 4 moves dotnet-coupling into PR feedback and team workflow use.

Added

  • SARIF 2.1.0 output through --sarif, generated with Microsoft's Sarif.Sdk.
  • GitHub Code Scanning friendly SARIF paths, rules, severity levels, and stable partial fingerprints.
  • --hotspots [N] for ranking active coupling repair candidates.
  • JSON report schema 0.3 with optional hotspots and suppressedIssues.
  • Precise .coupling.json suppressions via ignore.issues with required reasons.
  • GitHub Actions SARIF and baseline gate examples.
  • CI coupling feedback artifacts for SARIF and hotspots.

Changed

  • Suppressed issues are excluded from active issue counts, grade calculation, --check, and SARIF upload while remaining visible in summary and JSON output.
  • CI report aggregation now includes coverage and coupling feedback, plus mutation availability status when no Stryker report is produced.
  • Test execution is aligned with Microsoft Testing Platform.
  • Mutation moved out of PR CI into a scheduled/manual nightly-mutation workflow; local Stryker runs remain supported for focused checks.

Compatibility Notes

  • syntax mode remains the default.
  • semantic mode remains preview-only and must be enabled explicitly.
  • Existing CLI options, NuGet package identity, and JSON schema 0.1 / 0.2 contracts remain compatible.

0.3.1

Patch release for release-workflow hardening and public entrypoint documentation.

Added

  • Expanded README with badges, quick start, CI usage, baseline guidance, and syntax vs semantic mode explanation.
  • self-benchmark CI job that verifies the packed tool can analyze the repository with --check --min-grade A --no-git.

Changed

  • GitHub Actions artifact upload updated to actions/upload-artifact@v7.
  • CI local tool install steps read the package version from Directory.Build.props instead of hardcoding 0.3.0.

Compatibility Notes

  • CLI options and behavior are unchanged from 0.3.0.
  • JSON schema version remains unchanged.
  • semantic mode remains preview-only.

0.3.0

Phase 3 release for project-model loading and semantic-preview foundation.

Added

  • Project-model loading for .csproj, .sln, and .slnx inputs.
  • Explicit --mode syntax|semantic with syntax as the default.
  • Semantic preview loading through MSBuildWorkspace.
  • Project / assembly / package metadata in JSON output.
  • Workspace load diagnostics as recoverable report evidence.
  • Syntax vs semantic compare artifacts for self, OSS, and synthetic dogfooding.
  • ArchUnitNET boundary tests and semantic regression coverage for reflection, service locator, dynamic dispatch, and project-model edge cases.

Compatibility Notes

  • syntax mode preserves the existing CLI and JSON contract.
  • semantic mode is preview-only and must be enabled explicitly.
  • JSON schema stays backward-compatible through optional fields such as projectModel and manifest diagnostics.

0.2.0-alpha.1

Phase 2 public alpha for feedback-driven team use.

Added

  • JSON configuration via --config, .coupling.json, and coupling.json.
  • Configurable fan-in/out, temporal coupling, and scattered external coupling thresholds.
  • Ignore rules for paths, namespaces, and issue types.
  • Baseline comparison via --baseline <ref>.
  • Ratchet gate via --check --baseline, failing only on new issues at the configured severity threshold.
  • JSON report schema 0.2 when baseline data is present.
  • JSON config schema dotnet-coupling-config-0.2.schema.json.

Known Limitations

  • TOML configuration is not supported.
  • SARIF, hotspots, impact, trace, and complexity-assisted prioritization were deferred from this release.

0.1.0-alpha.1

First public alpha of dotnet-coupling.

Added

  • Syntax-only C# coupling analysis.
  • Git volatility and temporal co-change analysis.
  • Text, summary, and JSON output.
  • JSON report schema 0.1.
  • CI check mode with --check, --min-grade, and --fail-on.

Known Limitations

  • Semantic symbol resolution was not enabled.
  • .slnx, .sln, and .csproj workspace loading was not enabled.
  • Runtime DI container resolution was not analyzed.
  • Reflection and dynamic calls may be incomplete.
  • Generated code is excluded by default.
