release-0.3.0

• Update to use .NET 10.0.
  • Tested on Windows and Debian platforms. Other Linux distributions supported by dotnet should also work.
• Remove all blank lines in output (issue #2).
  • If you really want to keep blank lines use --keep-blanks.
• Filter output based on regex (issue #1), --include-by-regex or --exclude-by-regex.

release-0.2.0

0.2.0

• Update to use .NET 8.0.
  • Tested on Windows and Debian platforms. Other Linux distributions supported by dotnet should also work.
• Increase --max-sort-size to support sorting over 2GB of data in RAM.
  • Physical RAM is the limit to sort size. Tested on 96GB machine.
  • Increasing --slab-size allows up to 63TB to be sorted in RAM (in theory).
• Maximum sortable line size is now 128kB (131,072) bytes. Longer lines are skipped.
• Null bytes (ASCII NUL or 0x00) are removed by default.
  • Use --keep-nulls to keep null bytes.
• Improved support for files with similar starting lines.
  • Splitting phase is limited to 16 iterations to avoid long path failures on Windows.
  • Use --split-count and --force-large-sort to control this behaviour.
• Improved memory usage via dotnet MemoryPool; MassiveSort should not allocate excessive memory.
  • The --aggressive-memory-collection option is always active; command line option removed.
• Improve logging via --debug and --save-stats options.
• Update to latest version of 3rd party libraries.
• Fixed several bugs discovered when implementing all the above!
