TextSleuth 1.2

Version 1.2 (2026-05-20)

• Replaced byte-by-byte search loop with a compiled regex using backreferences for substantially faster matching.
• Replaced Perl ithreads with MCE for worker parallelism.
• Serialized worker STDOUT so per-file match output no longer interleaves on the terminal.
• Expanded input validation to report each missing required parameter individually and to distinguish nonexistent paths from unreadable ones.
• Fixed regex pattern that failed to strip trailing whitespace from the pattern file.
• Fixed conditional that prevented files smaller than the search pattern from being skipped.
• Enforced character byte length to be greater than zero.

• Version 1.1 (2025-04-23)
  • Added Shift-JIS encoding support for pattern file.
  • Fixed incorrect description of auto-calculated worker thread count.
