v2.13.5

• updated GitHub Actions checkout references to v7;
• corrected shared project URL metadata in recls-ruby.gemspec;

v2.13.4

2.13.4 - 19th August 2026

• renamed recls.gemspec to recls-ruby.gemspec so the filename stem matches spec.name;
• expanded recls-ruby.gemspec spec.summary to the README tagline; packaged CONTRIBUTING, FAQ, INSTALL, and SECURITY; Gemfile.lock and .ruby-version excluded from spec.files;
• Gemfile sets lockfile false when Bundler supports it; stop tracking Gemfile.lock (already gitignored);
• CI uses bundler-cache: false then bundle install because Bundler 4 writes no lockfile and ruby/setup-ruby cache cats Gemfile.lock; Warnings job now runs on Ruby 3.4;
• updated run_all_unit_tests.sh (from https://github.com/synesissoftware/misc-dev-scripts) to skip tput when $TERM is unset or stdout is not a TTY;
• EXAMPLES.md example links are repo-relative (./examples/…);
• updated README.md afferent dependents and related-project lists;
• expanded README.md tagline/introduction and recls-ruby.gemspec summary/description so the library is understandable without prior knowledge of recls;
• bumped VERSION to 2.13.4;
• README.md afferent runtime dependents now include oss-src-tools;
• TODO: CI on.push.branches is the canonical seven names (dropped bp-2);
• README.md Installation now shows require 'recls'; recls-ruby.gemspec add_development_dependency follows spec.files;

2.13.3 - 13th August 2026 (internal release only)

• added # frozen_string_literal: true to all lib/ sources;
• documentation and project-boilerplate modernisation;
• added AUTHORS.md, NEWS.md, and TODO.md;
• completed .github/workflows/ruby.yml (OS × Ruby matrix, gem smoke, warnings job);
• implemented Rakefile test / default tasks;
• fixed recls.gemspec homepage/metadata to recls.Ruby (HTTPS);
• fixed Recls.combine_paths array slice to remain compatible with Ruby 1.9.3–2.5 (no endless ranges);
• warnings CI job now runs via bundle exec so development gems (e.g. xqsr3) are loadable;
• Ruby 4+ (incl. MinGW): pull in fiddle from the Gemfile (no longer a default gem; still required on Windows);
• documented the Ruby 4+ Windows fiddle requirement in README.md (Installation and Dependencies);
• Ruby 4+ (incl. MinGW): Recls::Ximpl::FileStat no longer subclasses File::Stat (avoids TypeError: wrong instance allocation);

v2.13.2

• Fixed Recls.combine_paths() such that passing a Recls::Entry that represents a directory is not taken to be the complete result, as is (and should be) the case for a file;

v2.13.1

v2.13.0

• making examples executable;
