CodebaseMD v2.0.0

[alpha912]

We're excited to announce the release of CodebaseMD v2.0.0, featuring a major new capability: Micro Codebase Export!

New Features

Micro Codebase Export

This release introduces a powerful new feature that enables you to create highly condensed, yet informative representations of your code files. The Micro Codebase export reduces code size by approximately 95% while preserving essential structural and functional information.

Key Benefits

• Size Reduction: Condenses large files (2000+ lines) down to approximately 100 lines
• Structural Preservation: Maintains class hierarchies, function relationships, and module dependencies
• Information Density: Uses a specialized notation system to maximize information content
• Pattern Recognition: Automatically identifies and highlights common design patterns in your code

How It Works

The Micro Codebase export applies a sophisticated code condensation algorithm that:

1. Analyzes your code's structure, including classes, functions, dependencies, and patterns
2. Prioritizes information based on visibility, usage, and importance
3. Creates a condensed representation using specialized notation
4. Generates a markdown file with the micro representation of your codebase

How to Use Micro Codebase Export

For the entire codebase:

1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS)
2. Type "CodebaseMD: Export Micro Codebase" and select it
3. Choose a location to save the exported Markdown file

For selected files:

1. Select one or more files or folders in the Explorer view
2. Right-click and select "CodebaseMD: Export Selected as Micro Codebase" from the context menu
3. Choose a location to save the exported Markdown file

Understanding the Output Format

The micro codebase representation uses a specialized notation:

// PATH: src/services/auth/UserAuthentication.java [JAVA]
// DESC: Handles user authentication and session management
// DEPS: io.jwt.*, org.security.*, java.util.*

EXPORT [C:2, I:1, F:5]

C+ UserAuthentication implements I:AuthProvider {
  // Core authentication controller
  
  F+ authenticate(user:S, pass:S):AuthResult
    [FLOW: validate→verify→createSession]
    [THROWS: AuthFailedException]
  
  F- verifyPassword(hash:S, input:S):Bool
    [ALG: PBKDF2/SHA256]
  
  V+ sessionStore:Map<S,SessionData>
  V- attempts:Counter
  
  C- SessionData {...}
}

PATTERNS:
- Builder pattern for auth options
- Observer for session events

Where:

• C+ = Public Class
• F- = Private Function/Method
• I# = Protected Interface
• V+ = Public Variable
• S = String type
• FLOW: = Execution flow
• ALG: = Algorithm used

Installation

Download the .vsix file from this release and install it in VS Code:

1. Open VS Code
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+X to open the Extensions view
3. Click on the three dots (⋯) in the top right corner
4. Select "Install from VSIX..." and choose the downloaded file

Thank you for using CodebaseMD!
