# Changelog
All notable changes to DataProfiler will be documented in this file.
The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
## [Unreleased]
## [0.4.78] - 2025-10-23
### Improved
- **CSV Parsing Fallback Messaging**
- Integrated fallback messages into verbosity system (0=quiet, 1=normal, 2=verbose, 3=debug)
- Default behavior (verbosity 0-1) now suppresses fallback messages for cleaner output
- Verbose mode (-vv) shows informational messages for debugging
- Changed message tone from error-like "⚠️ Strict CSV parsing failed" to info-like "ℹ️ Using flexible CSV parsing"
- Fallback behavior is intentional design (fast strict path → robust fallback for malformed data)
## [0.4.77] - 2025-10-16
### Performance
- **Analysis Module Optimization**
- Pre-compiled regex patterns with lazy_static (eliminated runtime compilation overhead)
- Single-pass numeric type checking in inference (reduced iterations)
- IEEE 754 compliant sorting using total_cmp (safer NaN handling)
- Consistent whitespace handling across all analysis components
### Fixed
- IT phone regex pattern: corrected anchor and grouping syntax
- Unsafe unwrap on partial_cmp in metrics module (prevented potential panic with NaN)
- Clippy len_zero lint in column tests
### Added
- 43 unit tests for analysis module (inference: 17, patterns: 14, column: 12)
- --detailed flag implementation in info command (shows version and enabled features)
### Performance Impact
- Regex compilation overhead: eliminated
- Type inference: +15-25% estimated improvement
- Pattern detection: +20-30% estimated improvement

- Functions accepting ML parameters now accept `Option<&()>` placeholders
- Existing data quality features remain **100% functional**
#### **Migration Guide**:
If you were using ML features:
1. **CLI**: Remove `--ml*` flags from commands
