v3.0

detextive v3.0 (2026-02-14)

Enhancements

• API: Add decode_inform to return decoded text together with charset, MIME
  type, and line-separator metadata in a single call.
• API: Honor supplied textual http_content_type metadata consistently across
  decode and inference paths, including header-guided charset trial decode.

Removals

• API: Remove charset_default, mimetype_default, and
  mimetype_supplement parameters from decode so decoding follows
  decode-or-error semantics instead of fallback-return inference semantics.
• API: Replace Behaviors.charset_detect and Behaviors.mimetype_detect
  tristates with booleans; pass True or False instead of
  BehaviorTristate values.

Repairs

• Fix UTF-8 content incorrectly decoded when charset detector misidentifies encoding, causing mojibake with non-ASCII characters and emoji.
• Fix malformed http_content_type parameter parsing so inference no longer
  raises raw ValueError for invalid header parameter syntax.
  Also include the resolved MIME type value in TextualMimetypeInvalidity
  messages.
• Reject binary content with non-textual MIME types instead of attempting to decode, preventing false positives where binary data was incorrectly decoded as text.
