[Unreleased]

Count hard-link allocation once in a deterministic traversal order while retaining apparent sizes per pathname. Filtered comparison has independent allocation ownership, including when the first link is ignored.
Report filesystem errors and incomplete ancestor totals instead of silently dropping errors or treating vanished entries as accessible empty directories.
Inherit ignore rules when scanning nested directories; accept dangling symlinks as scan targets and distinguish special files from directories.

A scanner module with structured reports, file identities, progress counters, cooperative cancellation, and per-scan thread pools.
Optional -x / --one-file-system boundary handling. Partial CLI reports return a nonzero exit status and include complete in JSON output.
Repeatable Linux ARM64/AMD64 Docker checks with unprivileged permission tests, a real mounted-filesystem boundary and an optimized-binary smoke test.

This stable release marks the official launch of sized under the GNU General Public License v3.0.

Fast & Concurrent Analysis: Multi-threaded directory traversal using rayon and ignore.
Physical vs. Logical Distinction: Accurate reporting of Apparent Size vs. Disk Usage (blocks).
Unit & Precision Control: Configurable unit systems (Binary/Decimal) and decimal precision.
Advanced Filtering: Filter by directory depth and minimum file size.
Sorting: Flexible sorting by name, type, size, or blocks.
Gitignore Support: Native support for .gitignore and .ignore files.
Exporting: Support for CSV and NDJSON output formats.
Documentation: Comprehensive standard Unix man pages and a detailed user guide.
Shell Completions: Automatic generation for Bash, Zsh, and Fish.
