Version 0.0.7 Release

🆕 What's New in Extliner v0.0.7

Release Date: 2025-05-30

🚀 Highlights

• Massive Performance Boost
  Introduced concurrent file processing using Python’s ProcessPoolExecutor. File scanning is now much faster — ideal for large directories.

• Smarter File Detection
  Enhanced detection of text-based files using an extended set of TEXT_LIKE_MIME_TYPES. This means better accuracy in counting lines across diverse file formats like .json, .xml, .php, .sh, .md, etc.

• Cleaner Output
  Results now include a 'Total' summary, showing combined stats for all extensions.

🛠 Enhancements

• Replaced os.walk() with os.scandir() in directory traversal logic for better I/O efficiency.
• Added optional --progress toggle for a live progress bar via tqdm.
• Added max_workers parameter to control parallelism.

🧪 Code Cleanup

• Refactored main.py for improved readability and modularity.
• Simplified test suite by removing outdated and redundant tests.
• Updated requirements.txt to include tqdm.

📦 Installation

pip install --upgrade extliner
