2026-01-15	all: allow multiple pattern in match-file-comment	Shulhan
	This makes the configuration more concise where pattern can be split into multi lines. While at it, add more pattern to match-file-comment.
2026-01-15	all: move checking REUSE annotation after all files listed	Shulhan
	Use case: on the first scan, the file result in group unknown. User then modify the spdxconv.cfg to add or update the match-file-pattern. The next scan should check again the files in unknown group, in case its match with updated config.
2026-01-15	all: add group "done" in the report	Shulhan
	The done group contain list of file that has been processed. File from group regular and binary that has been modified or added with SPDX format will be moved to here.
2026-01-14	all: fix error when scanning and apply empty file	Shulhan

2026-01-14	all: get the copyright year from git history	Shulhan
	If the line that match with pattern on match-copyright does not contains year, or there is no match, try to get the year from the first commit of the file using "git log --follow ..." command. If no commit history or its not using git, use default copyright year from configuration.
2026-01-13	all: split the delete_line_pattern into before and after	Shulhan
	While at it, also add configuration for delete line before and after for match-copyright section.
2026-01-12	all: fix default regex match license and copyright to ignore comment	Shulhan
	Instead of assuming that the comment prefix and space always exists "^(//)\s+..." change it to be optional, so it will works on the multi-line comment. For example, comment and old headers in html, <-- Copyright ... --> there is no comment prefix and space.
2026-01-12	all: add configuration for setting default copyright year	Shulhan
	The `copyright_year` set the default year to be used in `SPDX-FileCopyrightText`. The year can be a single year (for example "2026"), range of year (for example, "2000-2026"), or list of year with comma separated (for example, "2000,2001,2026"); as long as there is no space in between.
2026-01-12	all: implement match-file-comment for seting comment based on file name	Shulhan
	The first thing that the program do is to detect which comment string to be used when inserting SPDX identifiers in the file. For each pattern in the "match-file-comment" section, the program will match it with file name to get the comment prefix and suffix to be used later. User can add their own "match-file-comment" section as they like or modify the existing one. The "match-file-comment" can have empty prefix and suffix. That means, if the file name match, it will create new file with ".license" suffix that contains SPDX identifiers only, instead of inserting to the file.
2026-01-12	config_match_license: remove unused field DeleteMatch	Shulhan
	The line that match with pattern will be replaced with new SPDX license identifier, so no need to guard it with this flag.
2026-01-11	all: exclude file that contains both SPDX license and copyright text	Shulhan
	If the file already contains SPDX-License-Identifier and SPDX-FileCopyrightText, in any order, ignore it from being included during scan.
2026-01-11	all: implement apply command	Shulhan
	The apply command read the "spdxconv.report" and apply the license and copyright as stated on each file in the report. A file that has been successfully processed will be removed from the report.
