v0.2.1-alpha.1
Pre-release
Pre-release
mathom now hands back the memory it only needed while scanning — steady RAM after a full-drive scan drops by about 40%, at zero scan-time cost.
Leaner
- Post-scan memory release: the structures used only while building the tree (the name-dedup index and the arenas' growth slack) are freed the moment a scan finishes.
- Filter cleanup: clearing a search filter now also frees its cached overlay
- Smaller scan peak: the MFT assembly stage reuses a scratch buffer instead of allocating a second one, trimming ~10 MB off the transient peak mid-scan.
The binaries are unsigned, so SmartScreen will warn on first run ("More info" → "Run anyway"). Administrator rights unlock the fast MFT path; declining falls back to the folder walker.
