Changelog

Updated documentation to include the new separateDevDeps setting in both the README and the configuration docs page.

• README settings table — added the Separate dev dependencies row
• Configuration docs — added separateDevDeps to the settings table and example JSON

Fixed the groupsOnTop setting not being respected and added a new setting to merge dependency groups.

• groupsOnTop fix — scope groups now correctly appear at their natural position when the setting is turned off. Previously, frequency sorting was forcing groups to the top regardless of the groupsOnTop value
• Separate dev dependencies — new setting to merge dependencies and devDependencies into a single "All Dependencies" group. Enabled by default (separate groups), can be toggled off in settings

Added a homepage field to the package.json metadata, linking to the ripen homepage at https://ripencli.vercel.app. This provides users with an easy way to find more information about ripen and access the documentation directly from the npm registry.

Welcome to ripen 0.3.0! This major release includes several exciting features and improvements:

• Enhanced MetaData — Redesigned Website interface with improved usability and visual appeal

Fixed version comparison for pre-release versions (e.g., 3.0.0-beta.8). Packages with pre-release current versions were previously ignored during the outdated check.

• Version comparison fix — pre-release suffixes are now stripped before comparing semver bases, and a pre-release is correctly detected as older than its stable release
• Wider version columns — increased column width from 10 to 14 characters to prevent long version strings from wrapping to two lines
• Version sorting fix — version picker now correctly sorts pre-release versions relative to their stable counterparts

Enhanced the Settings screen with a new delete shortcut for removing grouped scopes directly from the settings UI.

Added frequency sorting — packages you update often can now be surfaced to the top of the list. Enhanced README with settings documentation.

Introduced the configuration system with support for:

• Frequency tracking — tracks how many times each package is updated
• Scope grouping — group scoped packages (e.g., @heroui/*) together
• Groups on top — option to display grouped scopes before ungrouped packages
• Custom scopes — user-configurable list of scopes to group

Settings are persisted at ~/.config/ripen/config.json.

Refactored all interface declarations to type across the entire codebase for consistency and better TypeScript patterns.

TypeScript improvements and optimization pass. Better Ctrl+C handling for cleaner process exits.

Performance improvements with reduced UI flickering during package list rendering. Smoother scrolling and selection experience.

Added self-update flow with process restart. ripen now notifies you when a newer version is available and can update itself, then automatically restarts with the new version.

Added Bun support. ripen now detects bun.lock and uses bun add for updates. The package manager family is now complete: npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun.

Dependency updates and added funding links to the package metadata.
