v2.0.0 - Major Update & Security Features

🚀 v2.0.0 - Security, Analytics & Compare

This release marks a significant evolution for DotNetBundlePatcher. Version 2.0.0 transforms the tool from a simple patcher into a comprehensive forensic and management suite for .NET single-file bundles.

✨ New Features

🛡️ Security & Integrity

• SHA256 Hashing: Added file integrity verification. You can now calculate and verify hashes for all embedded files.
• Auto-Backup: The tool now automatically creates a backup of the original executable in the backup/ folder before any repack operation.
• Safe Repacking: Enhanced safety checks to prevent data loss during the patching process.

📊 Analysis & Forensics

• Bundle Comparison: Compare two different bundles side-by-side to detect added, removed, or modified files (including size differences).
• Deep Search: Search for specific files (e.g., config.json, library.dll) inside a bundle without extracting it.
• Manifest Export: Export bundle details to JSON, XML, or TXT formats for external reporting and documentation.

⚙️ Core Improvements

• Session Logging: All operations are now logged to logs/session_<timestamp>.log for better debugging and tracking.
• Enhanced UX: Added visual progress bars for long-running operations (hashing, extracting).
• Folder Management: Automatic organization of work, out, backup, exports, and logs directories.

🛠️ Technical Info

• Target: Windows x64
• Runtime: .NET 10.0 (Self-Contained)
• Debugger: PDB symbols are embedded for easier troubleshooting.
