This release improves binary file detection, encoding detection, and comment removal reliability, making Repomix more robust when processing diverse codebases!
## Bug Fixes 🐛
### Fixed Comment Removal Hanging Issue (#975, #1009)
Replaced `strip-comments` with `@repomix/strip-comments`, a fork with enhanced language support and bug fixes.
Resolves the hanging issue when processing large files with `removeComments: true`
### Fixed Encoding Detection Issues (#869, #1007)
Removed the jschardet confidence check that was incorrectly skipping valid files.
- **Fixes #869** - Valid Python files no longer skipped with low confidence scores
- **Fixes #847** - HTML files with Thymeleaf syntax (`~{`) no longer incorrectly detected as binary
## Improvements ⚡
### Enhanced Binary File Detection (#1006)
Replaced `istextorbinary` with actively maintained alternatives:
- `is-binary-path`: Extension-based detection (47M weekly downloads)
- `isbinaryfile`: Content-based detection with zero dependencies
This ~20x improvement in binary extension coverage reduces unnecessary content checks for common binary formats.
## How to Update
```bash
npm update -g repomix
```
