# Changelog
All notable changes to this project are documented here. The format is based on
[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/), and this project adheres to
[Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
## [1.2.2] - 2026-07-08
### Fixed
- Completes the 1.2.1 version-aware reconcile against real-world URL shapes.
Verified against all 13 bundled deps of the live neovim 0.12.4 hint; 1.2.1's
`_url_version` mis-parsed several of them and 1.2.1 was never correct in the
field.
- `_url_version` now derives the version by stripping the URL's own github repo
name from the basename, so dep names that themselves contain digits/dashes
(e.g. `lua-compat-5.3`) parse correctly instead of splitting the name as a
version. A bare-tag basename (no name prefix) is taken as the whole version,
which fixes package-rev suffixes like `luv` `1.52.1-0` being truncated to `0`.
Non-github hosts and the shared `neovim/deps` blob host fall back to the
trailing-version/sha heuristic.
- `_url_repo` is now lowercased, so a dep that appears as `JuliaStrings/utf8proc`
in the hint and `juliastrings/utf8proc` in the manifest matches (github
owners/repos are case-insensitive) instead of being reported as unmatched and
duplicated in the manifest-only FYI.
## [1.2.1] - 2026-07-08
### Fixed
- Bundled-dep reconcile detects change by upstream version, not raw URL string.
Manifests serve bare-tag archive URLs (`.../archive/v0.26.7.tar.gz`) while
hints use the SBo-fetched tree shape
(`.../archive/v0.26.7/tree-sitter-0.26.7.tar.gz`); these are the same version
in different path shapes, so the old string comparison flagged every dep as
changed at a version that had not moved. Reconcile now extracts the version
from each URL (`_url_version`) and only rewrites a line when the version
actually differs. (URL-shape parsing was incomplete in this release; see
1.2.2.)
- The changed-deps report now shows `name old-ver -> new-ver` from the parsed
identity and version, instead of version-stripped URL basenames.
## [1.2.0] - 2026-07-07
### Added
- Manifest-driven bundled-dep updates. Packages listed in the new
`BUNDLE_MANIFEST_FILE` (`<pkg> <deps-url-template>`) have their extra
`DOWNLOAD` lines reconciled against an upstream deps manifest (e.g. neovim's
`cmake.deps/deps.txt`) during `--check`: matched lines are rewritten to the
manifest's pinned URLs and their checksums recomputed. `--new` reports the
reconcile without changing the hint.
- `--force` flag (check-only): run the bundled-dep reconcile even when the
primary version is unchanged (e.g. to retry after a failed manifest fetch).
- The bundled-dep reconcile writes a `.bak` before mutating a hint (parity with
every other mutator, so a `--force` reconcile is recoverable), and its change
report shows old and new URL basenames so version bumps are visible before you
confirm.
## [1.1.3] - 2026-07-07
### Fixed
- Version bump now rewrites download URLs that use the upstream `-` form of a
date/tag, not just the packaged `_` form. Previously a hint like exploitdb
(`VERSION="2026_07_07"`, `DOWNLOAD=".../2026-07-07/..."`) kept its stale URL
and md5 after `--hintfile -V` / `--new -V`. Both `_` and `-` variants of the
old→new version are now substituted.
## [1.1.2] - 2026-07-05
### Fixed
- Man page: correct the `--new` description (it strips/comments `.info` fields
rather than copying it as-is) and add a BASH COMPLETION section.
## [1.1.1] - 2026-07-05
### Added
- `mkhint.1` man page (gzipped, built from `mkhint.1.md` with pandoc) as the
full reference.
- `--help` now reports whether `~/.config/mkhint/config` is present and sourced.
### Changed
- `--help` is now a compact summary; usage examples, the variable-order note,
and the exit-code table moved to the man page.
- Reference the current slackrepo home at github.com/aclemons/slackrepo (Andrew
Clemons), crediting David Spencer (idlemoor) as the original creator.
## [1.1.0] - 2026-07-05
### Added
- Sourced config file `~/.config/mkhint/config` for all path constants
(`REPO_DIR`, `HINT_DIR`, new `PACKAGES_DIR`, etc.); the completion script
sources it too. Missing file keeps previous defaults.
### Changed
- `--check` and `--hintfile` now run `slackrepo build` for packages not yet
built in `PACKAGES_DIR` and `slackrepo update` for existing ones, instead of
always `update`.
## [1.0.0] - 2026-07-04
First tagged release. mkhint manages slackrepo hint files: create/update hints,
nvchecker-driven update checks, phantom-dep stripping for -current, and a
listing/review workflow.
### Changed
- **Breaking:** the hint-version flag is now `-V` / `--set-version`. `-v` /
`--version` now prints the tool's own version and exits.
### Added
- `-v` / `--version` prints `mkhint X.Y.Z`.
- The `--help` header shows the version.
- `-l` colors the newer version cell green and adds a `DelReq` column.
