Release v0.10.0

This release focuses on massive performance improvements, UX enhancements, and security hardening.

🚀 Features

Performance & Scalability

• SQLite Backend: Migrated from flat files to a local SQLite database, offering O(1) performance for session lookups.
• Pagination: Implemented efficient pagination for both session listings (pentlog sessions) and search results, handling large datasets with ease.

User Experience

• Search Dashboard: The search command now features an interactive "Infinite Scroll" UI with a dashboard-style, box-delimited details view.
• Visual Alignment: Fixed unicode alignment issues (for shells like Kali) using go-runewidth.
• Log Only Mode: New create --log-only mode (or interactive selection) for quick recording without strict engagement metadata.

Security

• Archive Encryption: Added support for AES-256 encrypted zip archives via --password.
• Hardening: Enforced strict 0600 permissions on the local database file.

Backend & Robustness

• Archive Format: Changed default archive format from tar.gz to zip for broader compatibility.
• Refactoring: Major refactor of the core shell recording logic for better maintainability.
• Auto-Migration: Built-in migration for legacy JSON session metadata.

Release v0.9.0

🚀 Enhancements

• Interactive Context Selection: pentlog create now features a user-friendly dropdown for selecting the context type (Client vs Exam/Lab).
• Improved Switch Workflow:
  • Added pentlog switch - to quickly toggle to the previous session.
  • Added history selection to the interactive switch menu.
• Smart Archive:
  • Enhanced pentlog archive to automatically include generated reports and clean up the directory structure.
  • New: Prompts to reuse existing reports if found, saving regeneration time.
• Progress Bars: Implemented progress bars for install.sh and the update command.
• Interactive Changelog: The updater now displays the changelog interactively.
• Export Workflow: Added a prompt to open the exported file immediately.
• Unified Configuration: Standardized AI configuration to ai.yaml.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• ANSI Stripping: Fixed an issue where Markdown reports retained ANSI control codes.
• Duplicate Command: Removed redundant registration of the archive command.
• Shell Display: Fixed shell info to remove unnecessary ./ prefix.

📦 Maintenance

• Refactored configuration logic and updated documentation.

Release v0.8.0

We are excited to introduce the new Archive command to help you manage disk usage and keep your logs organized!

📦 New Feature: Session Archiving

The pentlog archive command allows you to compress and move old sessions to a dedicated archive directory (~/.pentlog/archive).

Key Capabilities

• Compression: Sessions are bundled into .tar.gz files to save space (roughly 10-20x reduction for text logs).
• Granular Control: Archive by Client, Engagement, or Phase.
• Safety First: By default, the archive command Copies files (Backup Mode). Original files are only deleted if you explicitly pass the --delete flag (or -D) or confirm Yes in the interactive prompt.
• Interactive & CLI: Fully supported through both an interactive wizard and command-line flags for scripting.

Usage Examples

Interactive Mode:

pentlog archive
# Follow the wizard to select Client -> Engagement -> Phase

CLI Automation:

# Archive all sessions for client 'ExampleCorp'
pentlog archive ExampleCorp

# Archive only 'Recon' phase logs for 'ExampleCorp'
pentlog archive ExampleCorp -p recon

# Archive 'Internal' engagement logs older than 30 days and DELETE originals
pentlog archive ExampleCorp -e Internal -d 30 --delete
