v0.2.2

Highlights

• Open .json and .jsonl documents by passing their paths directly, without
  --json or --jsonl.
• Keep newly expanded children in view with minimal scrolling, while anchoring
  oversized branches at the top of the viewport.
• Hide .git and .jj repository metadata during normal filesystem scans;
  --no-ignore can still reveal them.

All changes

• Recognized positional .json paths as JSON and .jsonl paths as forced
  JSONL, while preserving explicit source flags and piped input.
• Adjusted every expansion command to reveal an expanded container's direct
  children when they fit and start oversized branches from their first row.
• Excluded .git and .jj directories from eager and lazy filesystem scans
  when ignore handling is enabled.

v0.2.1

Highlights

• Press o on a filesystem leaf to open it with your desktop's default
  application while Ite keeps running.

All changes

• Added the configurable open command, bound to o by default; it opens real
  filesystem leaves with the platform's default handler, leaves containers and
  JSON nodes alone, detaches launched applications, and reports launch failures
  without ending the session.

v0.2.0

Highlights

• Explore JSON Lines from files or stdin through a virtual array, with automatic
  content detection and --jsonl for ambiguous input.
• Reach the first frame much sooner on large filesystem, JSON, and JSONL trees:
  Ite now scans only the immediately visible structure, then fills in the rest
  cooperatively while you browse.
• Use substantially less memory on large trees by deriving filesystem paths and
  JSON values on demand instead of storing repeated paths or a full JSON DOM.
• Keep working through imperfect data: malformed JSONL records remain selectable,
  unreadable directories are reported, and a truncated final JSONL record is
  safely dropped.

All changes

• Added JSONL input with content-based detection across files and stdin, plus
  -l/--jsonl <PATH|-> to force JSONL when a single-record input is ambiguous.
• Presented JSONL as a virtual array with document-global paths for output and
  fuzzy jump, alongside record-relative paths for configured actions.
• Reduced filesystem-tree memory by storing each entry's basename once and
  deriving absolute and relative paths from its ancestors.
• Replaced the retained JSON DOM with a compact byte-span index over the original
  input, deriving labels, previews, pointers, and selected output on demand.
• Materialized JSON and JSONL containers lazily, with a cooperative background
  indexer that prioritizes visible rows; opening fuzzy jump waits for indexing
  with progress and can be cancelled.
• Made directory scanning lazy as well: startup reads the root, while expansion
  and the background sweep discover deeper levels without losing ancestor ignore
  rules.
• Surfaced malformed JSONL records as selectable warning nodes and unreadable
  directories through the persistent error banner and exit report.
• Rendered unloaded and empty containers consistently as collapsible branches,
  avoiding startup glyph churn as indexing advances.
• Compiled profiling instrumentation out of normal release binaries while
  extending cargo profile-tui to measure JSON and JSONL startup, indexing,
  expansion, and picker latency.
• Improved the keybinding panel's readability with bold key labels and dimmed
  descriptions using terminal palette colors.

v0.1.1

Highlights

• Press ? to open a bottom-docked, scrollable shortcut panel showing the
  effective keymap, including user overrides and custom help.
• Press Tab to make the focused node a temporary tree root, then Shift-Tab or
  Escape to unwind roots while keeping navigation and fuzzy jump scoped to the
  active subtree.
• Press Space to toggle a container or Ctrl-Space to toggle its whole subtree
  without moving focus.
• Navigate leaves more fluidly with l/L stepping to the next sibling and
  H recursively collapsing the enclosing parent when the focused node cannot
  collapse.

All changes

• Fixed toggle-command labels in the shortcut panel and strengthened the
  related UI and release regressions.
• Codified Ite's guarded, verifiable release procedure as a reusable agent
  skill.
• Added the ? shortcut panel, simplified first-line navigation from gg to
  g, and supported optional help text on configured bindings.
• Added plain and recursive container toggles on Space and Ctrl-Space.
• Made l and L step to the next sibling when focused on a leaf.
• Made H recursively collapse and focus the parent when the focused node has
  nothing to collapse.
• Replaced the bright default scrollbar with a quieter ANSI-gray dithered bar.
• Added temporary tree-root navigation with Tab, Shift-Tab, and Escape.
• Refreshed the README around pipeline/sidebar workflows and installation.
• Added a non-publishing crates.io OIDC credential rehearsal.

v0.1.0

Highlights

• Explore filesystem directories and JSON documents through the same fast terminal interface.
• Read JSON from a file or stdin while keeping selections cleanly pipeable through stdout.
• Navigate with Vim-style keys, mouse scrolling, recursive expansion, and / fuzzy path search.
• Run configurable shell actions against the focused node.
• Install native builds on Apple Silicon/Intel macOS and ARM64/x86_64 Linux.

All changes

• Created the initial Rust project scaffold.
• Added key parsing, configuration loading, and the command-line interface.
• Added the filesystem tree model backed by the ignore walker.
• Added the application state machine, default keymap, and effects.
• Added the TUI event loop, rendering, and shell command runner.
• Added the user-facing README.
• Added headless TUI profiling and fixed a 300ms-per-frame rendering regression.
• Made tree glyphs more compact by removing horizontal tails.
• Derived the focus bar from terminal colors with a safe fallback.
• Connected tree guides to leaf markers.
• Restored spaced fork-only tree guides.
• Added local installation under $XDG_BIN_HOME.
• Made dotfiles visible by default while retaining ignore-file support.
• Added JSON documents as a source-neutral tree input.
• Added alternate output selection with Alt+Enter.
• Aligned tree stems beneath container triangles.
• Added leaf markers for top-level nodes.
• Added mouse-wheel scrolling without moving focus.
• Added piped-stdin JSON input.
• Made left navigation focus a collapsed node's parent.
• Added / fuzzy jump mode.
• Made right navigation descend into expanded branches.
• Styled secondary tree chrome with ANSI color 8.
• Added the automated four-target release and distribution pipeline.
