ShareLint 1.0.0

ShareLint 1.0.0

The first stable release of ShareLint's local privacy preflight. This release
focuses on a smoother first run, cross-platform delivery, and maintenance of the
existing scanner. Detection scope and machine-readable contracts remain unchanged.

Improvements

• Clearer command help and an explicit synthetic-data banner for sharelint demo.
• Console and HTML reports show REVIEW for findings below the blocking threshold,
  while preserving JSON/SARIF verdicts and exit codes.
• Clear separation between the shareable archive and private reports/receipts.
• Corrected the pack help example and clarified that incomplete PDF/image coverage
  blocks packing; unknown rule errors do not echo terminal control sequences.
• A documented 1.x compatibility policy and updated English/Chinese guidance.

Downloads

The release includes standalone archives for Linux glibc x86-64, Windows x86-64,
Intel macOS, and Apple silicon macOS. They include Python and need no Python
installation on the destination computer. Each archive has a .sha256 file and
GitHub build provenance. Native builds and their final archives are smoke-tested
before publication.

Windows binaries are not Authenticode-signed. macOS binaries are ad-hoc signed,
without Developer ID signing or notarization. See the
platform guide.

Compatibility and scope

Python 3.11+; existing commands, exit codes, report schema 1.0.0, receipt schema
1.0.0, and SARIF 2.1.0 remain compatible. There are no third-party runtime Python
package dependencies. PDF pages and image pixels are not OCR-scanned, originals
are not cleaned or modified, and incomplete coverage still blocks pack.
A pass describes the configured checks, not a guarantee that a file is safe.

ShareLint 0.1.1 — smoother first run

Highlights

• Added sharelint demo --report for safely writing local HTML, JSON, SARIF,
  or console demo reports.
• Made isolated installation with pipx or uv the primary path.
• Added installation troubleshooting, architecture documentation, and a
  unified documentation index.
• Improved English and Chinese first-run guidance and contribution paths.

Alpha limitations

ShareLint does not currently OCR PDF pages or image pixels, sanitize original
files, or guarantee that a passing artifact is safe or compliant.

ShareLint 0.1.0 — Scan before you share

ShareLint 0.1.0 (Alpha)

Scan before you share.

ShareLint is a local, fail-closed privacy preflight for files, folders, and
nested archives.

Highlights

• Scan directories, ZIP archives, Office documents, PDFs, images, and text
  locally.
• Detect secrets, PII, metadata, speaker notes, hidden sheets, and embedded
  objects.
• Preserve complete provenance through nested containers.
• Hide matched values in console, JSON, SARIF, and HTML reports.
• Expose partial and unsupported coverage instead of reporting a false clean
  result.
• Create deterministic share bundles with output rescanning and hash-bound
  receipts.
• Zero third-party runtime dependencies.

Install

• python -m pip install sharelint==0.1.0
• sharelint demo

Alpha limitations

PDF pages and image pixels are not currently OCR-scanned. A passing result is
a policy and coverage result, not a guarantee that an artifact is safe or
anonymous.
