-quiet  |    no   | `false` | no output, only validation
-loose  |    no   | `false` | skip JSON schema validation
-lint   |    no   | `false` | enable built-in linter
-compact|    no   | `false` | compact instead of pretty-printed output
-catalog|    no   |         | generate catalog to the specified file
-ref    |    no   |         | reference output URL for change detection
-origin |    no   |         | external registry URL for default values
-
-In GitHub action mode, the change can be indicated by comparing the output to a reference output. The reference output URL can be passed in the `ref` action parameter. The `changed` output variable will be `true` or `false` depending on whether the output has changed or not compared to the reference output.
-
-The `api` parameter can be used to specify a directory into which the outputs are written. The `registry.json` file is placed in the root directory. The `extension.json` file and the `badge.svg` file are placed in a directory with the same name as the go module path of the extension (if the `lint` parameter is `true`).
-
-The `test` parameter can be used to test registry and catalog files generated with the `api` parameter. The test is successful if the file is not empty, contains `k6` and at least one extension, and if all extensions meet the minimum requirements (e.g. it has versions).
+When used in GitHub Workflows, the change can be indicated by comparing the output to a reference output. The reference output URL can be passed in the `--ref` flag. The `changed` output variable will be `true` or `false` depending on whether the output has changed or not compared to the reference output.

+k6registry `v0.2.1` is here 🎉!
+
+This is a bugfix release.
+- There was a bug in the change detection, which made it only work when using the `--out` flag. This has been fixed and now the change detection also works when using the `--api` flag.
