EmilTholin/image-trace-loaderv0.4.11Jul 24, 2026by github-actions[bot]

AI Summary

This release introduces high-performance native regex hooks (`deny-pattern` and `require-pattern`) as alternatives to slower subprocess-based tools, adds glob pattern support for hook execution, and introduces reusable priority aliases for better configuration maintainability.

Key Highlights

  • New native regex hooks (`deny-pattern` and `require-pattern`) running 4x faster than `pygrep`.
  • `prek run` now supports the `--glob` flag to target files matching specific patterns.
  • Support for reusable aliases in priority configuration to simplify parallel scheduling.
  • New `requirements-txt-fixer` builtin hook for dependency management.

New Features

  • deny-pattern hook
  • require-pattern hook
  • --glob support in prek run
  • Priority aliases
  • requirements-txt-fixer hook

Full Release Notes

## Release Notes

Released on 2026-07-25.

### Highlights

- This release adds two new builtin hooks, `deny-pattern` and `require-pattern`,
  as native alternatives for `pygrep` use cases. `deny-pattern` fails when a
  configured pattern is found, while `require-pattern` ensures every selected
  file contains a match. By matching natively without spawning a Python
  subprocess, they run over 4x faster than `pygrep` in benchmarks. Note that
  they use [Rust `regex` syntax](https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/#syntax), which does
  not support look-around features such as negative lookbehind.

- `prek run` now supports `--glob <PATTERN>` to run hooks on tracked files
  matching a glob. It can be repeated or combined with `--files` and
  `--directory`.

- Hook priorities now support reusable aliases:

    ```toml
    [priorities]
    checks = 10

    [[repos]]
    repo = "builtin"
    hooks = [
      { id = "check-json", priority = "checks" },
      { id = "check-yaml", priority = "checks" },
    ]
    ```

    This makes parallel scheduling easier to read and maintain.

### Enhancements

- Add `deny-pattern` and `require-pattern` builtin hooks ([#2359](https://github.com/j178/prek/pull/2359))
- Support `--glob` patterns in `prek run` ([#2381](https://github.com/j178/prek/pull/2381))
- Support reusable aliases for hook priorities ([#2331](https://github.com/j178/prek/pull/2331))
- Implement `requirements-txt-fixer` as a builtin hook ([#2390](https://github.com/j178/prek/pull/2390))
- Improve user-facing warnings and errors ([#2380](https://github.com/j178/prek/pull/2380))
- Install Node hooks through git url ([#2394](https://github.com/j178/prek/pull/2394))

### Performance
