What's New

Thanks to all our contributors, users, and the many people that make detect-secrets possible! :heart:

If you love detect-secrets, please star our project on GitHub to show your support! ⭐

v1.0.3

February 26th, 2021

🐛 Bugfixes

  • Fixes SecretsCollection subtraction method, to handle non-overlapping files.
  • Fixes installation for Windows environments (#412, thanks @pablosantiagolopez)

v1.0.2

February 25th, 2021

🐛 Bugfixes

  • KeywordDetector is no longer case-sensitive.

v1.0.1

February 25th, 2021

🐛 Bugfixes

  • Fixes recursive loop with installation (#408, thanks @cbows)

v1.0.0

February 24th, 2021

📣 Release Highlights

  • Added a concept of "filters", to weed out false positives
  • Introduce the concept of "transformers", to standardize file parsing across plugins
  • 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.

  • Added --list-all-plugins to show a list of all plugins available to the engine
  • Added --exclude-secrets flag to ignore secrets that match specific regexes (#391, thanks @pablosantiagolopez)
  • Added --slim flag to generate baselines that minimize git diffs
  • Added --disable-filter to disable specific filters
