Buy the full version — $29It reads a CHANGELOG.md or release-notes file and applies 12 rules drawn from Directive (EU) 2024/2853 and the Cyber Resilience Act (EU) 2024/2847. On the 25-line sample changelog shipped with it, it returns 15 findings: undated releases, an AS-IS clause that Art. 15 voids, security fixes with no CVE, and a citation of the repealed Directive 85/374/EEC.
Maintainers, release engineers and vendors who place software on the EU market and keep a changelog. From 9 December 2026 software is a product under Art. 4(1) of Directive (EU) 2024/2853, so the release history stops being housekeeping and becomes a record a court can order disclosed under Art. 8.
Markdown linters and spell-checkers read style. None of them know that Art. 15 voids an AS-IS clause against an injured person, that Directive 85/374/EEC is repealed on 2026-12-09, or that Annex II(8) of the Cyber Resilience Act wants a support-end date. A chatbot will cheerfully hand you the wrong applicability year.
Free: the open file, all 12 rules, every finding with its line number and the article behind it. The clean sample returns 0 findings and the dirty one returns 15. Paid, $29 once: every changelog in the workspace in one pass, plus a dated Markdown and CSV evidence record you keep and file.
One hour of EU product-compliance counsel bills around $300, and reading one repository's release history takes longer than an hour. This lint costs $29 once, runs in the editor or in the browser, and re-runs on every release. Seven-day full refund, one licence key per person or team seat.
