Dennis 0.8.3 is out.

This one is a big step forward.

Until now, Dennis could show what would change and apply it safely.

Now it can also verify what actually changed — in a deterministic way.

The diff system is now:

• git-aware (no more noise from .git or random files)

• text-only (binary junk is ignored)

• deterministic (same input → same diff → same hash)

This turns diffs into something closer to evidence than just a visual hint.

Also added a --verbose mode to inspect exactly how the diff is built.

It might not sound flashy, but this is the kind of change that makes everything else more trustworthy.
