Introduction

Prior to this release, cdxgen was using conan as the purl type for c/c++ by default. This was similar to how we use maven for Java and npm for node.js, even for private components. However, based on a wider discussion, we have decided to use generic as the default type, thus mimicking other existing tools and processes. conan would be used only when parsing conan txt and lock files.

We have also improved the bom generation performance for c/c++ by improving the structural analysis performed by atom/chen.

This release also adds support for BOM Profiles. Use --profile argument to tailor the BOM generation process for a specific need.
