BagIt.NET v0.2.1 - Internal Update

Release Type: Internal / Refactor
Date: 2025-11-24

Overview

This release is an internal refactor aimed at improving dependency injection, testability, and service-oriented architecture. No functional changes to the BagIt specification handling have been introduced.

Key Changes

• Static classes replaced with services

  • ChecksumService ManifestService, and TagFileService are now proper injectable services instead of static helpers.
  • All previous static calls have been updated to use dependency injection.
  • BagInfoService merged into TagFileService

• Direct constructor injection

  • Services are now injected into test fixtures and orchestrators like Bagger via constructors.
  • Reduces coupling and improves unit testing isolation.

• Improved unit testing

  • Unit tests for ChecksumService, ManifestService, and TagFileService now leverage DI for clean setup.
  • Integration tests for Bagger and Validator.
  • Temp directories are handled consistently per test case.

Notes

• No changes to BagIt bag creation, payload manifest, or tag file handling behavior.
• Internal-only release; no external API impact.
