- Stored optional validation response bodies as boxed strings to avoid allocating empty payloads and to streamline validator caches.
- Parallelized git cloning based on the configured job count and begin scanning repositories as soon as each clone finishes to reduce end-to-end scan times.
- Combined per-repository results into a single aggregate summary after scans complete.
- Added initial access-map support and report viewer html file. Currently beta features.

- Created Linux and Windows specific installer script
- Updated diff-focused scanning so --branch-root-commit can be provided alongside --branch, letting you diff from a chosen commit while targeting a specific branch tip (still defaulting back to the --branch ref when the commit is omitted).
- Updated the README so every provider example (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Repos, Gitea, Hugging Face, Slack, Jira, Confluence, S3, GCS, Docker) uses the new subcommand style.
- Restored the direct kingfisher scan /path/to/dir flow for local filesystem scans while adding a --list-only switch to each provider subcommand so repository enumeration no longer requires the standalone github repos, gitlab repos, etc. commands.
- Removed the legacy top-level provider commands (kingfisher github, kingfisher gitlab, kingfisher gitea, kingfisher bitbucket, kingfisher azure, kingfisher huggingface) now that enumeration lives under kingfisher scan <provider> --list-only.
- Fixed kingfisher scan github … (and other provider-specific subcommands) so they no longer demand placeholder path arguments before the CLI accepts the request.
- Removed the --bitbucket-username, --bitbucket-token, and --bitbucket-oauth-token flags in favour of KF_BITBUCKET_* environment variables when authenticating to Bitbucket.

- Condensed GitError formatting to report the exit status and the first informative lines from stdout/stderr, producing concise git clone failure logs.
- Added support for scanning Google Cloud Storage buckets via --gcs-bucket, including optional prefixes and service-account authentication.
- Added --skip-aws-account (now accepting comma-separated values) and --skip-aws-account-file to bypass live AWS validation for known canary/honey-token account IDs without triggering alerts. Kingfisher now ships with several canary AWS account IDs pre-seeded in the skip list and now reports matching findings as "Not Attempted" with the "Response" containing "(skip list entry)" so its clear that validation was intentionally skipped and why.
- Added: repeatable --ignore-comment <TOKEN> flag to reuse inline directives from other scanners (for example NOSONAR,
kics-scan ignore, gitleaks:allow, etc)
- Added: to reuse existing inline directives from other scanners, pass --compat-ignore-comments to also accept NOSONAR, kics-scan ignore, gitleaks:allow and trufflehog:ignore
