## [Unreleased]

### Added

- Spaces around commas inside brace groups are now trimmed automatically,
  so `{dir2, dir3}` behaves identically to `{dir2,dir3}`. Prevents
  accidental directories with leading/trailing-space names caused by
  typing spaces after commas.

### Documentation

- Clarified Bash/zsh shell-escaping behavior around `\` as a path
  separator: an unquoted backslash is consumed by the shell before
  mkdir2 ever sees it, so using `\` as a separator from an interactive
  Unix shell requires quoting the argument.

## [0.1.7] - 2026-06-22

### Added

- Initial release of `mkdir2`.
- Cross-platform path handling: `/` and `\` are interchangeable separators
  on every platform.
- Bash-compatible brace expansion (`{a,b,c}`, nested groups, numeric ranges
  with optional step and zero-padding, alpha ranges, cartesian products).
- Automatic parent directory creation by default, with `--no-parents` to
  opt into strict classic `mkdir` behavior.
- `-f, --force` to delete and recreate an existing target, with
  `--no-recursive-remove` and `-i, --interactive` safety controls.
- `-m, --mode` for setting Unix octal permissions on new directories.
- `--gitkeep` to drop a `.gitkeep` file in every newly created directory.
- `-v, --verbose`, `-q, --quiet`, `-n, --dry-run`, `--stats`, `--strict`.
- `--json` machine-readable report output with proper non-zero exit codes
  on failure.
- `--from FILE` for batch creation from a pattern file (or stdin via `-`).
- Themeable colored + emoji output, with `--color auto|always|never`,
  `--no-emoji`, custom `--color-success/error/warn/info` hex colors, and
  `NO_COLOR` environment variable support.
