+Allowlist modes
+
+#### Features
+
+- Allowlist mode: autodetects whether analyzed repository is a "git" or "npm" (published artifact) repository.
+  Via the cli `--allowlist-mode 'npm|git|all'` and `--allowlist-mode-reference 'npm|git|all'` can be
+  configured to override the autodetected mode.
+
+#### Bugfixes
+
+- Clean output extend-docs: strings like '[no-dependency]' will not end up in aggregated result
