fsfe/reuse-tool v6.1.0

on GitHub

This release adds a simple feature as a workaround for a bug that will be
resolved in a later version. The bug is described in
#1244, and can be summarised as: When
charset-normalizer is used to detect the encoding of a file, it will
erroneously detect a UTF-8 file as having no encoding (i.e. a binary file) when
the 2048th byte is a non-final byte of a multi-byte glyph.

You can run reuse as REUSE_ENCODING_MODULE=chardet reuse to circumvent this
bug. If you use pre-commit, you can use this snippet:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-tool
    rev: v6.1.0
    hooks:
      - id: reuse
        entry: env REUSE_ENCODING_MODULE=chardet reuse

You will not encounter this bug if your environment has libmagic available.

Added

• You can now specify the module that will be used for detecting the encoding of
  files with the REUSE_ENCODING_MODULE environment variable. (#1245)
• The Docker images and the pre-commit hooks now come bundled with all encoding
  modules. (#1245)
• The --debug flag now tells you the detected encoding and detected newlines
  of each file, as well as which encoding module is used. (#1246)
