- Improved manifest validation: psx-fpkg now performs stricter checks on fpkg.json entries and warns about common mistakes (missing required fields, incorrect version strings, invalid file paths), reducing broken packages caused by malformed metadata.
- Deterministic builds: the packer sorts input files and normalizes timestamps so identical inputs produce identical output archives — helpful for reproducible builds and verifiable releases.
- Signature handling refinements: clearer error messages and a more robust path for injecting precomputed signatures or creating unsigned packages for testing.
- Faster packaging: internal I/O buffering and streamed compression improve pack times for large content trees.
- Better CLI ergonomics: clearer subcommand names, improved help output, and useful exit codes for integration with CI systems.
- Bugfixes and documentation improvements: fixes for edge cases in path normalization and expanded examples in the README.
