v0.1.4

Release Notes - v0.1.4

🚀 New Features

Output Format Options with Ultra-Compression

Added a new --format flag that revolutionizes how analysis results are stored and transferred:

• Compact JSON: Default output now uses space-efficient formatting (70% of previous size)
• MessagePack + Gzip: New ultra-compressed binary format achieving 80-90% size reduction

bash
# Compact JSON (default)
codeanalyzer -i /path/to/project

# Maximum compression
codeanalyzer -i /path/to/project -o ./output --format msgpack

Real-World Impact

• Large codebases: 2.4MB JSON → 384KB MessagePack (84% reduction)
• CI/CD pipelines: Faster uploads/downloads and reduced storage costs
• Network transfer: Significant bandwidth savings for distributed workflows

🔧 Technical Improvements

Enhanced Serialization

• Type-safe format selection using Python enums
• Path object handling for cross-platform compatibility
• Round-trip data integrity ensuring no information loss
• Compression reporting shows exact size savings

Performance Optimizations

• Streaming serialization for memory efficiency
• Recursive type conversion handles complex nested structures
• Binary format support with automatic compression

📊 Compression Performance

Format | Size | Compression Ratio
-- | -- | --
Pretty JSON | 2.4 MB | 100% (baseline)
Compact JSON | 1.7 MB | 71%
MessagePack + Gzip | 384 KB | 16%

🛠️ Dependencies

Added

• msgpack>=1.0.0 - Efficient binary serialization

Installation

bash
pip install --upgrade codeanalyzer-python

🔄 Migration Guide

Fully Backward Compatible

No changes required for existing users:

• All existing commands work unchanged
• Default output format remains JSON (now compact)
• No breaking changes to APIs or data structures

For New Users

Take advantage of the new compression options:

bash
# For human-readable output
codeanalyzer -i project --format json

# For maximum efficiency
codeanalyzer -i project -o results --format msgpack
