What's Changed

New Features

ignore_year1 config option (#213): Added a new project.ignore_year1 boolean flag in .copywrite.hcl. When set to true, the tool skips updating the start year in existing copyright headers, preserving historically accurate start years (e.g. 2015) even when they differ from copyright_year in config. End-year logic is unaffected — files modified after their copyright end year still get the end year bumped to current year. New files with no copyright header are also unaffected and always receive the config year as the start year.
```
project {
  copyright_year = 2024

  # Preserve original start years in existing headers
  ignore_year1 = true
}
```

Bug Fixes

Removed unused ignore_year2 references from config, CLI, init template, and README.

Documentation

README updated with ignore_year1 behaviour for both source file headers and LICENSE files.
Init template updated to include ignore_year1 as a commented-out option.

v0.25.1

v0.25.1

Fixed

Fixed copyright year updates not being applied due to invalid git log format in the year update cache (#191 regression)
Fixed symlink resolution issue on macOS causing cache misses for file copyright year lookups
Improved git information caching reliability and accuracy

Details

This release fixes two critical bugs introduced in v0.25.0 (#191):

The buildRepositoryCache now correctly formats git output with __CW_YEAR__= prefix, allowing the parser to properly identify years vs filenames
Symlink paths are now resolved before computing relative paths, preventing cache misses on systems where /tmp is a symlink (macOS)

Users running v0.25.0 who noticed copyright year updates weren't working should upgrade to this version.

Bug Fixes

Fix .hbs file copyright parsing to prevent code corruption

Fixed a critical bug where the copyright detection logic was incorrectly modifying JavaScript code inside .hbs (Handlebars) template files. Previously, any indented line containing "copyright" (such as copyright: 'Copyright Acme Inc.' in JavaScript objects) was being treated as a copyright header and modified.

What changed:

Implemented comment block tracking for .hbs files to distinguish between actual copyright headers inside {{! ... }} comment blocks and regular code
Removed the generic two-space prefix from global comment detection to prevent false positives
Indented copyright lines are now only detected when inside handlebars {{! ... }} comment blocks

Impact:

✅ .hbs files with multi-line copyright headers in {{! ... }} blocks work correctly
✅ JavaScript code with "copyright" keywords (e.g., in config objects) is no longer modified
✅ All other file types (.js, .go, .py, etc.) are unaffected

This fix was tested against the hashicorp/boundary-ui repository and confirmed to resolve the issue without introducing regressions.
