v2.4.2

Release Highlights

Feature: --clean-dry-run option added

@PhasecoreX had a suggestion to add an option that would log what output files would be cleaned rather than cleaning them. The option has been added, and documentation has been updated.

Refactor: log level overhaul

Thanks to a suggestion from @PhasecoreX, log levels have been overhauled to be more usable. They fall into three buckets now:

• -v logs about actions that are happening (file creation, modification, and deletion)
• -vv logs about actions that are happening, and actions that are skipped (not overwriting files, etc.)
• -vvv logs about actions that are happening, actions that are skipped, and debug information for bug reports

See the new logging documentation page for more information.

Refactor: slimmer executable packages

A bit of effort was put in to slim down the executables that get compiled for GitHub, trimming a lot of unnecessary junk that developers publish to npm. Please open bug reports for any issues you experience.

igir, and other open-source projects like it, are a labor of love. They wouldn't be nearly as meaningful without the community supporting them. Constructive feedback and general positivity will always be welcome. Be kind to others, and be kind to yourselves.
