-# CI that:

-# * checks for a Git Tag that looks like a release ("v1.2.0")
-# * creates a Github Release™️
-# * builds binaries/packages with cargo-dist
-# * uploads those packages to the Github Release™️
-#
-# Note that the Github Release™️ will be created before the packages,

-# and then they will slowly trickle in, possibly failing. To make
-# this more pleasant we mark the release as a "draft" until all
-# artifacts have been successfully uploaded. This allows you to
-# choose what to do with partial successes and avoids spamming
-# anyone with notifications before the release is actually ready.

-# This task will run whenever you push a git tag that looks like

-# and then whatever. so `v1`, `v1.0.0`, and `v1.0.0-prerelease` all work.

-# If there's a prerelease-style suffix to the version then the Github Release™️

 ## Installation
+Currently, you can only install deduplicator using cargo package manager.

-### Cargo Install
+### Cargo
+> GxHash relies on aes hardware acceleration, so please set `RUSTFLAGS` to `"-C target-feature=+aes"` or `"-C target-cpu=native"` before
+> installing.

-#### Stable
+#### install from crates.io (stable)

 ```bash
-$ cargo install deduplicator
+$ RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo install deduplicator
+
+# or
+
+$ RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+aes,+sse2" cargo install deduplicator
 ```

-#### Nightly
-
-if you'd like to install with nightly features, you can use
-
+#### install from git (nightly)
 ```bash
-$ cargo install --git https://github.com/sreedevk/deduplicator
-```
-Please note that if you use a version manager to install rust (like asdf), you need to reshim (`asdf reshim rust`).
+$ RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" cargo install deduplicator --git https://github.com/sreedevk/deduplicator

-### Linux (Pre-built Binary)
+# or

-you can download the pre-built binary from the [Releases](https://github.com/sreedevk/deduplicator/releases) page.
-download the `deduplicator-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz` for linux. Once you have the tarball file with the executable,
-you can follow these steps to install:
-
-```bash
-$ tar -zxvf deduplicator-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
-$ sudo mv deduplicator /usr/bin/
+$ RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+aes,+sse2" cargo install --git https://github.com/sreedevk/deduplicator
 ```

-### Mac OS (Pre-built Binary)
-
-you can download the pre-build binary from the [Releases](https://github.com/sreedevk/deduplicator/releases) page.
-download the `deduplicator-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz` tarball for mac os. Once you have the tarball file with the executable, you can follow these steps to install:
-
-```bash
-$ tar -zxvf deduplicator-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
-$ sudo mv deduplicator /usr/bin/
-```
-
-### Windows (Pre-built Binary)
-
-you can download the pre-build binary from the [Releases](https://github.com/sreedevk/deduplicator/releases) page.
-download the `deduplicator-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip` zip file for windows. unzip the `zip`  file & move the `deduplicator.exe` to a location in the PATH system environment variable.
-
-Note: If you Run into an msvc error, please install MSCV from [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170)
+### Manual Installation
+- Download the right pre-compiled binary archive for your platform from [github release page](https://github.com/sreedevk/deduplicator/releases/tag/latest).
+- Decompress it using `tar -zxvf <archive>.tar.gz` 
+- Move it to a directory included in `$PATH`. 
+    - ideally `/usr/local/bin/`.

 ## Performance
+Deduplicator uses size comparison and [GxHash](https://docs.rs/gxhash/latest/gxhash/) to quickly check a large number of files to find duplicates. its also heavily parallelized. The default behavior of deduplicator is to only hash the first page (4K) of the file. This is to ensure that performance is the default priority. You can modify this behavior by using the `--strict` flag which will hash the whole file and ensure that 2 files are indeed duplicates. I'll add benchmarks in future versions.

-Deduplicator uses size comparison and fxhash (a non non-cryptographic hashing algo) to quickly scan through large number of files to find duplicates. its also highly parallel (uses rayon and dashmap). I was able to scan through 120GB of files (Videos, PDFs, Images) in ~300ms. checkout the benchmarks

-* The last entry is lower because of the number of files deduplicator had to go through (~660895 Files). The average size of the files rarely affect the performance of deduplicator.

-These benchmarks were run using [hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine). Here are the specs of the machine used to benchmark deduplicator:
+### Benchmarks
+I've used hyperfine to run deduplicator on files generated by the rake file at `rakelib/benchmark.rake`. The Benchmarking accuracy can further be improved by isolating runs inside restricted docker containers. I'll include that in the future. For now, here's the hyperfine output on my i7-12800H laptop with 32G of RAM.

+## proposed
+- [ ] parallelization
+    - [ ] scanning + processing sw + processing hw + formatting + printing
+- [ ] user supplied cache file path for faster re-runs
+- [ ] hardlinks / symlinks support
+- [ ] max file path size should use the last set of duplicates
+- [ ] add more unit tests
+    - [ ] test against different filesystems
+    - [ ] test against different file name encodings
+- [ ] restore json output (was removed in 0.3 due to quality issues)
+- [ ] fix memory leak on very large filesystems
+    - [ ] maybe use a bloom filter
+    - [ ] reduce FileInfo size
+- [ ] tui
+- [ ] change the default hashing method to include the first & last page of a file (8K)
+- [ ] provide option to localize duplicate detection to arbitrary levels relative to current directory
+- [ ] localize file meta store locks to sub path levels to avoid global lock contention from multiple threads.
+- [ ] bulk operations
+    - [ ] --keep-latest
+    - [ ] --keep-oldest
+    - [ ] --keep-last-modified
+    - [ ] --keep-first-modified
+
+- [ ] fix: partial hash collision - a file full of null bytes ("\0") and an empty file. This is a known trade off in gxhash.
+    - [ ] include initial pages and final pages of the file 
+    - [ ] append the offset between the last initial page hashed and the first final page hashed in the content passed to the hasher.
+- [ ] potential optimizations
+    -  [ ] lookup the memory efficiency gains if instead of directly inserting into a hashmap, deduplicator looksup the file in a bloom filter. this way, the duplicate store hashmap does
+       not require to be locked for every single file. The bloom filter can be stored in an atomically updateable type to improve performance as well.
+
+## v0.3.2
+- [x] fix: single file groups are printed to screen
+- [x] fix: --exclude-types and --types flag behave identically.
+
+## v0.3.1
+- [x] parallelization
+    - [x] (scanning + processing sw + processing hw) & formatting & printing
+- [x] remove formatting step and write directly to stdout
+- [x] simplify output to improve performance
+- [x] increase the number of pages hashed in partial hashing
+- [x] updated dependencies
+- [x] fix: full file hash collision between a file full of null bytes ("\0") and an empty file. This is a known trade off in gxhash.
+    - [x] appending the file size at the end of content before hashing.
+- [x] created an automated release pipeline
+
+## v0.3.0
+- [x] parallelization
+    - [x] (scanning) + (processing sw & processing hw & formatting & printing)
+- [x] reduce cloning values on the heap
+- [x] add a partial hashing mode (--strict)
+- [x] add unit tests
+- [x] add silent mode
+- [x] update documentation
+- [x] remove color output
+- [x] progress bar improvements
+    - [x] use progress bar groups
+- [x] remove broken json rendering
+- [x] add benchmarks
