Version 1.1.118 June 23, 2026
Current ⌄

Fixed

  • Normalized duplicate scan ordering to be deterministic across map iteration paths (buckets, anchor-key candidate lists, stack groups, and clusters), reducing run-to-run variation in group and audit ordering.
  • Normalized criteria fallback ordering when enabled criteria are missing from saved order, preventing pairs() iteration order from changing criteria evaluation sequence.
  • Added executable regression coverage to verify keeper fallback stability across reversed input order when keeper rules do not separate files.
Version 1.1.116 June 21, 2026
Previous ⌄

Changed

  • Expanded troubleshooting documentation with diagnostic FAQs for common scan combinations that do not produce expected duplicate groups.
  • Clarified how anchors, contextual metadata, capture-time tolerance, filename similarity modes, required criteria, and keeper priorities affect results.
  • Updated the quick guide with first-pass diagnostics for expected duplicates that are not found.
Version 1.1.115 June 21, 2026
Previous ⌄

Changed

  • Expanded Balanced filename similarity to match extended names where the shorter filename's tokens appear in order inside the longer filename, such as 030506_M_055 and 030506_M_BUDAPEST_055.
  • Added matching candidate keys for these extended filename cases so large scans can compare the pair before scoring metadata.
Version 1.1.114 June 21, 2026
Previous ⌄

Changed

  • Replaced the file-handling priority Up and Down buttons with compact ↑ and ↓ arrow buttons.
Version 1.1.113 June 21, 2026
Previous ⌄

Changed

  • Changed the file-handling keeper rule list to render in priority order, so priority 1 appears first, priority 2 appears second, and so on.
  • Priority menu changes and Up / Down moves now refresh the visible row contents instead of leaving rules in their default order with shuffled numbers.
