- Rust native backend available for GET scans
- Category-based wordlists and template placeholders
- New MySQL and PostgreSQL report formats
- JSON-based resumable sessions using controller state
Improvements
- Caps Form XObject expansion and CID ranges to prevent crafted PDFs from forcing unbounded resource usage
- Advanced match/filter controls for status, size, and elapsed time
- Wildcard and duplicate-result filtering improved
- Async pause/stop handling, SSL error classification, and proxy handling improved
- Python support now targets Python 3.11-3.14
Bug Fixes
- Async pause/stop handling fixed
- SSL error classification fixed

- IPv6 handling fixed
- Encoded URL edge cases fixed
Upgrade Notes
The runtime has shifted from synchronous PDF parsing to asynchronous web scanning. Python target versions are now 3.11-3.14, with legacy threaded stacks available via `--sync`. Rust backends are supported for native wordlist generation.
