v1.96.1 (Windows executable only)

This release merely updates the Windows executable of cloc 1.96 to use the Win32::LongPath module per issue #704. The cloc source code itself is unchanged from 1.96. Here's the VirusTotal entry for this updated v1.96.1 executable.

If you use the source version of cloc, or if Win32::LongPath isn't important to you, use the regular 1.96 release bundle.

v1.96

Update 2023-01-10 for Windows users: minor release 1.96.1 has an updated executable that works better for Windows file paths longer than 255 characters.

New Languages: Cairo, Carbon, Circom, Containerfile, HolyC, kvlang, Nunjucks, OpenSCAD, P4, Pest, Pony, TEAL, WGSL

Updates: New switch --diff-list-files to run diff given two list files; handle comments embedded in OCaml strings; write empty JSON and XML structures if the inputs yield zero counts; support for long paths on Windows; better support for building and running Docker image on Windows; better output file names when running with --count-and-diff and --out; resolve internal file handle conflict when running --diff with --sdir or --categorized.

Future releases will include the git metadata additions in YAML, JSON, SQL, and Markdown output as well. The new switch --no-recurse prevents recursive directory traversal.

1.92

New languages GraphQL, Metal Shading Language, PlantUML, Properties, Umka. Better consistency with upper- and lowercase file names on Windows. Bug fixes for --force-lang-def, --csv-delimiter, --vcs=git with --max-file-size, --unicode, --ignored (directory names no longer appear).

Several bugs related to language inclusion or exclusion along with --diff were fixed.
