[1.0.0] - 2024-01-15

🎉 Initial Release

Complete Python dependency analysis tool with advanced security and license checking capabilities.

✨ Added

Core Features

  • Multi-format parsing support: requirements.txt, Pipfile, pyproject.toml, Python source files
  • Enhanced CLI interface with 6 comprehensive commands (analyze, parse, scan, security, licenses, info)
  • Advanced conflict detection across multiple dependency files with intelligent version analysis
  • Performance benchmarking suite with pytest-benchmark integration

Security Features

  • CVE vulnerability detection with real-time database queries
  • Security risk assessment with severity-based filtering (low/medium/high/critical)
  • PyPI security advisory integration for latest vulnerability data
  • Automated security scoring and recommendations

License Compliance

  • SPDX-compliant license analysis with standard identifier support
  • License compatibility checking with conflict detection matrix
  • Commercial use assessment and copyleft detection
  • Compliance reporting for legal review processes

Advanced Analysis

  • Python AST-based import extraction with intelligent standard library filtering
  • Enhanced PyPI integration with rate limiting and local caching
