BlitzTree 0.5.2 halves scan memory, doubles treemap render speed, and adds a read-only JSON CLI.
- About half the peak memory while scanning (e.g. 51 → 28 MB on /Applications, 144 → 75 MB on a 1.1M-item home folder), and the finished tree reaches the UI 3–4x sooner.
- Treemap renders about 2x faster, and hovering redraws only what changed (17 → 0.2 ms per mouse move). Pixels are identical to 0.5.1.
- Selecting a file inside a very large folder in the list is about 2x faster.
- Optional read-only JSON CLI (
blitztree scan,blitztree quick-wins), built from source with--features cli, sharing the Clean Up rules with the app. Contributed by @512banque. - Hard-linked files are credited to the same path on every scan, and incomplete subtrees are tracked.
Rust tests, CLI tests, rendering comparisons against 0.5.1 and full-tree dumps against the previous engine passed. Scan wall time is unchanged (it is bound by the kernel). Measurements.
