AI Summary
This release of prek (a git hooks tool) introduces glob support for file patterns, making configuration filters much easier to read and maintain compared to regex. It also adds a new builtin hook for JSON5 validation and includes several bug fixes related to version info, subprocess environment, and PTY handling.
Key Highlights
- Glob support for `files` and `exclude` patterns - replaces complex regex with simple glob lists like `src/**/*.rs`
- New `check-json5` builtin hook for JSON5 validation
- Fixed missing commit hash from version info
- Fixed git env vars leaking into `uv pip install` subprocess
- Fixed PTY capability-probe hangs by setting `TERM=dumb`
New Features
- Add `check-json5` as builtin hooks
- Add glob list support for file patterns (`files` and `exclude`)
Full Release Notes
## Release Notes
Released on 2026-01-16.
### Highlights
`files` / `exclude` now support globs (including glob lists), making config filters much easier to read and maintain than heavily-escaped regex.
Before (regex):
```yaml
files: "^(src/.*\\.rs$|crates/[^/]+/src/.*\\.rs$)"
```
After (glob list):
```yaml
files:
glob:
- src/**/*.rs
- crates/**/src/**/*.rs
```
