📝 Release notes (2.4.0)
Features:

- Feature #2799 Enable .csproj and Central Package Management (nugetcpm) source scanning plugins by default.
- Feature #2871 Extract and parse Alpine OS distro version (e.g. Alpine:v3.17, Alpine:edge) from PURL distro qualifiers to scan packages under their respective Alpine ecosystems.
- Feature #2801 Enable the swift/packageresolved plugin by default to support SwiftURL vulnerability scans.
- Feature #2666 Add a Docker-based variant of the pre-commit hook in .pre-commit-hooks.yaml to avoid local compilation.

Fixes:
- Bug #2807 Sanitize package name, source, and version fields in the vertical output format to prevent GitHub Actions workflow command injection vulnerabilities from crafted lock files.
- Bug #2876 Improve HTML scan report usability by supporting standard click modifiers (Ctrl/Cmd/middle click) to open vulnerabilities in new tabs, and preserving scroll position when switching tabs.
- Bug #2783 Keep transitive dependency scanning enabled when specifying the --offline-vulnerabilities flag.
- Bug #2808 Deduplicate equivalent OSV matcher requests before executing bulk queries to reduce API overhead.
- Bug #2837 Prevent panics during offline matcher scans (e.g. on unsupported GitHub Actions ecosystem) by avoiding parsing errors when checking version ranges.
- Bug #2836 Ensure the scanner returns an exit code of 0 when --help or -h is explicitly requested.
Misc:
- Update Go version to 1.26.4.
- Update osv-scalibr to v0.4.6-0.20260612031204-164402d9140e.
- Tag built Docker and GitHub Action images with the major version (e.g. :v2) to allow users to pin to a major version (#2857).
