What's New
🔍 Search improvements
- Read popularity boost — files you read frequently via
idx read now surface higher in search
results.
The relevance bonus uses 14-day exponential decay and is configurable via bm25.popularity_weight
in .idx.yml
or the --popularity-weight CLI flag.
⚙️ Configuration
index.ignore — the .idx.yml key index.exclude was renamed to index.ignore.
A composite ignore matcher now applies all rules in a single pass for more consistent filtering.
🛠 Internals & fixes
- Dynamic
git binary resolution — no longer assumes a fixed path, improving cross-environment
compatibility
- Cache keys now use SHA-256 instead of MD5
- Expanded unit test coverage: CLI adapters (
Init, Daemon, Config, Skills), watch command
service, and process spawner
🚀 Infrastructure
- Migrated release pipeline to GoReleaser — releases now include binaries for all platforms +
checksums.txt + automatic Homebrew tap updates
- Added SonarCloud integration for continuous code quality tracking
