v1.0.0

February 24th, 2021

📣 Release Highlights

  • Added a concept of "filters", to weed out false positives

  • Designed an upgrade system for easy migrations of older baseline versions
  • Core engine redesigned to support module usage (rather than just interacting with it through the command line)
  • Added a global Settings object for repeatable, serializable, configurations
  • Introduced dependency injection framework for easy-to-design filters.

💥 Breaking Changes

Honestly, too many to list out. Check out the original pull request (#355) for more details. It's safe to assume that if you interacted with detect-secrets as a module (rather than solely a pre-commit hook or CLI tool), the APIs have changed (for the better).

However, with the new upgrade infrastructure in place, the baseline files will auto upgrade by themselves. Users that have used it solely as a pre-commit hook or CLI tool may need to consult the "User Facing Changes" for flag renaming.
