Full Release Notes
This release strengthens security with remote config sandboxing and a cleaner dependency footprint, while delivering significant performance improvements across the core pipeline! ## What's New 🚀 ### Prevent Remote Config File Execution (#1292) Previously, when packing a remote repository, Repomix would automatically load and execute any `repomix.config.ts` or `repomix.config.js` found in the repository. Since TypeScript/JavaScript configs are executed via `jiti`, a malicious repository could embed arbitrary code in its config file, leading to remote code execution (RCE) on the user's machine. Remote config files are now **skipped by default**. If you trust a remote repository and want to use its config, you can opt in with the new `--remote-trust-config` flag: ```bash # Remote config is now safely ignored by default repomix --remote https://github.com/user/repo # Explicitly trust the remote config repomix --remote https://github.com/user/repo --remote-trust-config ``` ## Improvements ⚡ ### Replace fast-xml-parser with fast-xml-builder (#1253, #1219) Repomix only uses `XMLBuilder` for output generation, not the XML parser. Switched to `fast-xml-builder` directly to eliminate recurring CVEs from the parser side, bringing `npm audit` to **0 vulnerabilities** and reducing dependency size from 831KB to 176KB. ### Performance Optimizations (#1234, #1235, #1255) Several performance improvements across the core pipeline: - **File tree generation**: Map-based O(1) child lookups and single-pass sorting — `generateFileTree` **~82% faster**, `treeToString` **~70% faster** on 10,000 files - **Path sorting**: Decorate-sort-undecorate pattern with pre-computed `path.split()` — **6-7x faster**. `Set.has()` for `filterOutUntrustedFiles` — **up to 30x faster** at 10K files - **Compile cache propagation**: V8 compile cache (introduced in v1.12.0) now extends to Tinypool worker processes via environment variables, not just the main process ### Fix Closure Memory Leaks (#1233) Replaced arrow functions with `.bind()` in `setTimeout`/`setInterval` callbacks to prevent closures from capturing scope and retaining references to large objects. Added proper `dispose()` methods and `.unref()` calls for cleanup. ## Website Enhancements 🌐 ### Turkish Language Support (#1194) Added Turkish (Türkçe) translation to [repomix.com](https://repomix.com), based on Google Analytics data showing strong engagement from Turkish-speaking users. ### LLMO Optimization with JSON-LD and llms.txt (#1236) Added JSON-LD structured data (schema.org `WebSite` and `SoftwareApplication` markup) and generated `llms.txt`/`llms-full.txt` for LLM-friendly documentation discovery. ## How to Update ```bash npm update -g repomix ``` --- As always, if you have any issues or suggestions, please let us know on GitHub issues or our [Discord community](https://discord.gg/wNYzTwZFku).
