Vulnerability with cloudflare/circl GO-2026-4550 resolved. This project was unaffected by these third party vulnerabilities.

Following our engineering tradition, major new releases are followed by refactors with added test coverage for other packages. In this version scan job and batch handling have been refactored. We have also improved progress bar lifecycles to be more efficient as atomic semantics. We care greatly about code quality, features are a secondary priority. Feedback is always welcome.
