Release v2.2.1: Several bug fixes, minor new features and an API change
This is a minor release with several bug fixes, one new feature and one (minor) API change.
To install, download scancode-toolkit-2.2.1.zip or scancode-toolkit-2.2.1.tar.bz2 from the Downloads section below and follow installation instructions in the README at https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/blob/master/README.rst
This is also available as a Python library from Pypi with pip install scancode-toolkit
You can also download the source code for pre-built third-party binaries from these locations:
- https://github.com/nexB/scancode-thirdparty-src/archive/v1.0.0.tar.gz
- https://github.com/nexB/scancode-thirdparty-src/archive/v1.0.0.zip
API change:
- Licenses data now contains a new reference_url attribute instead of a
dejacode_url attribute. This defaults to the public DejaCode URL and
can be configured with the new --license-url-template command line
option.
New feature:
- There is a new "--format jsonlines" output format option.
In this format, each line in the output is a valid JSON document. The
first line contains a "header" object with header-level data such as
notice, version, etc. Each line after the first contains the scan
results for a single file formatted with the same structure as a
whole scan results JSON documents but without any header-level
attributes. See also http://jsonlines.org/
Other changes:
-
Several new and improved license detection rules have been added.
The logic of detection has been refined to handle some rare corner
cases. The underscore character "_" is treated as part of a license
word and the handling of negative and false_positive license rules
has been simplified. -
Several issues with dealing with codebase with non-ASCII,
non-UTF-decodable file paths and other filesystem encodings-related
bug have been fixed. -
Several copyright detection bugs have been fixed.
-
PHP Composer and RPM packages are now detected with --package
-
Several other package types are now detected with --package even
though only a few attributes may be returned for now until full parsers
are added. -
Several parsing NPM packages bugs have been fixed.
-
There are some minor performance improvements when scanning some
large file for licenses.

- Scan outputs: New SPDX tag/values and RDF outputs. Improved compact JSON format.
- Copyright: several false positive are no longer returned and copyrights are more accurate
- Archive extraction: support for shallow extraction and new archive types
- Performance: everything is generally faster and less memory hungry. Scans can run on multiple processes in parallel with the new
--processesoption speeding up things even further. - You can now install ScanCode as a library from Pypi with
