This is a release candidate for v2.0.0 that can be used for testing.

This is a significant new feature release that includes significant improvements in performance and adds a data storage mechanism.

AboutCode Manager is only compatible with scans from ScanCode Toolkit v2.0.0.rc1 and above.
Scans imported into the app need to contain the file information data. Therefore, the -i option needs to be used in your ScanCode command. For example:

./scancode -clipeu <input> <output_file.json>

Using

To install, download and extract the release for your operating system from the archives below. Then, run the AboutCode-Manager application from the extracted directory.
📢 Mac users 📢 After extracting the release, you will need to right click the app and select Open. Select Open again when asked if you are sure you want to open the app.

For more information on how to use the app see the wiki.
