Changelog for perl-Perl-Tidy-20221112-bp155.1.5.noarch.rpm :

* Sat Nov 12 2022 Tina Müller - updated to 20221112 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2022 11 12 - Fix rt #145095, undef warning in Perl before 5.12. Version 20221112 is identical to 2022111 except for this fix for older versions of Perl. - No significant bugs have been found since the last release to CPAN. Several minor issues have been fixed, and some new parameters have been added, as follows: - Fixed rare problem with irregular indentation involving --cuddled-else, usually also with the combination -xci and -lp. Reported in rt #144979. - Add option --weld-fat-comma (-wfc) for issue git #108. When -wfc is set, along with -wn, perltidy is allowed to weld an opening paren to an inner opening container when they are separated by a hash key and fat comma (=>). For example: [#] perltidy -wn elf->call_method( method_name_foo => { some_arg1 => $foo, some_other_arg3 => $bar->{\'baz\'}, } ); [#] perltidy -wn -wfc elf->call_method( method_name_foo => { some_arg1 => $foo, some_other_arg3 => $bar->{\'baz\'}, } ); This flag is off by default. - Fix issue git #106. This fixes some edge cases of formatting with the combination -xlp -pt=2, mainly for two-line lists with short function names. One indentation space is removed to improve alignment: [#] OLD: perltidy -xlp -pt=2 is($module->VERSION, $expected, \"$main_module->VERSION matches $module->VERSION ($expected)\"); [#] NEW: perltidy -xlp -pt=2 is($module->VERSION, $expected, \"$main_module->VERSION matches $module->VERSION ($expected)\"); - Fix for issue git #105, incorrect formatting with 5.36 experimental for_list feature. - Fix for issue git #103. For parameter -b, or --backup-and-modify-in-place, the default backup method has been changed to preserve the inode value of the file being formatted. If this causes a problem, the previous method is available and can be used by setting -backup-mode=\'move\', or - bm=\'move\'. The new default corresponds to -bm=\'copy\'. The difference between the two methods is as follows. For the older method, - bm=\'move\', the input file was moved to the backup, and a new file was created for the formatted output. This caused the inode to change. For the new default method, -bm=\'copy\', the input is copied to the backup and then the input file is reopened and rewritten. This preserves the file inode. Tests have not produced any problems with this change, but before using the --backup-and-modify-in-place parameter please verify that it works correctly in your environment and operating system. The initial update for this had an error which was caught and fixed in git #109. - Fix undefined value message when perltidy -D is used (git #104) - Fixed an inconsistency in html colors near pointers when -html is used. Previously, a \'->\' at the end of a line got the \'punctuation color\', black by default but a \'->\' before an identifier got the color of the following identifier. Now all pointers get the same color, which is black by default. Also, previously a word following a \'->\' was given the color of a bareword, black by default, but now it is given the color of an identifier. - Fixed incorrect indentation of any function named \'err\'. This was due to some old code from when \"use feature \'err\'\" was valid. [#] OLD: my ($curr) = current(); err (AATT_); [#] NEW: my ($curr) = current(); err(AATT_); - Added parameter --delete-repeated-commas (-drc) to delete repeated commas. This is off by default. For example, given: ignoreSpec( $file, \"file\",, \\%spec, \\%Rspec ); [#] perltidy -drc: ignoreSpec( $file, \"file\", \\%spec, \\%Rspec ); - Add continuation indentation to long C-style \'for\' terms; i.e. [#] OLD for ( $j = $i - $shell ; $j >= 0 && ++$ncomp && $array->[$j] gt $array->[ $j + $shell ] ; $j -= $shell ) [#] NEW for ( $j = $i - $shell ; $j >= 0 && ++$ncomp && $array->[$j] gt $array->[ $j + $shell ] ; $j -= $shell ) This will change some existing formatting with very long \'for\' terms. - The following new parameters are available for manipulating trailing commas of lists. They are described in the manual. - -want-trailing-commas=s, -wtc=s - -add-trailing-commas, -atc - -delete-trailing-commas, -dtc - -delete-weld-interfering-commas, -dwic - Files with errors due to missing, extra or misplaced parens, braces, or square brackets are now written back out verbatim, without any attempt at formatting. - This version runs 10 to 15 percent faster than the previous release on large files due to optimizations made with the help of Devel::NYTProf. - This version was stress-tested for over 200 cpu hours with random input parameters. No failures to converge, internal fault checks, undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen.
* Tue Jun 14 2022 Tina Müller - updated to 20220613 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2022 06 13 - No significant bugs have been found since the last release but users of programs which call the Perl::Tidy module should note the first item below, which changes a default setting. The main change to existing formatting is the second item below, which adds vertical alignment to \'use\' statements. - The flag --encode-output-strings, or -eos, is now set \'on\' by default. This has no effect on the use of the \'perltidy\' binary script, but could change the behavior of some programs which use the Perl::Tidy module on files encoded in UTF-8. If any problems are noticed, an emergency fix can be made by reverting to the old default by setting -neos. For an explanation of why this change needs to be made see: https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/issues/92 https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/docs/eos_flag.md - Added vertical alignment for qw quotes and empty parens in \'use\' statements (see issue #git 93). This new alignment is \'on\' by default and will change formatting as shown below. If this is not wanted it can be turned off with the parameter -vxl=\'q\' (--valign-exclude-list=\'q\'). [#] old default, or -vxl=\'q\' use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions); use Fcntl qw(O_RDONLY O_WRONLY O_EXCL O_CREAT); use Symbol qw(gensym); use Exporter (); [#] new default use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions); use Fcntl qw(O_RDONLY O_WRONLY O_EXCL O_CREAT); use Symbol qw(gensym); use Exporter (); - The parameter -kbb (--keep-break-before) now ignores a request to break before an opening token, such as \'(\'. Likewise, -kba (--keep-break-after) now ignores a request to break after a closing token, such as \')\'. This change was made to avoid a rare instability discovered in random testing. - Previously, if a -dsc command was used to delete all side comments, then any special side comments for controlling non-indenting braces got deleted too. Now, these control side comments are retained when -dsc is set unless a -nnib (--nonon-indenting-braces) flag is also set to deactivate them. - This version runs about 10 percent faster on large files than the previous release due to optimizations made with the help of Devel::NYTProf. Much of the gain came from faster processing of blank tokens and comments. - This version of perltidy was stress-tested for many cpu hours with random input parameters. No failures to converge, internal fault checks, undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen.
* Wed Feb 16 2022 Tina Müller - updated to 20220217 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2022 02 17 - A new flag, --encode-output-strings, or -eos, has been added to resolve issue git #83. This issue involves the interface between Perl::Tidy and calling programs, and Code::TidyAll (tidyall) in particular. The problem is that perltidy by default returns decoded character strings, but tidyall expects encoded strings. This flag provides a fix for that. So, tidyall users who process encoded (utf8) files should update to this version of Perl::Tidy and use -eos for tidyall. For further info see: https://github.com/houseabsolute/perl-code-tidyall/issues/84, and https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/issues/83 If there are other applications having utf8 problems at the interface with Perl::Tidy, this flag probably may need to be set. - The default value of the new flag, --encode-output-strings, -eos, is currently - neos BUT THIS MAY CHANGE in a future release because the current default is inconvenient. So authors of programs which receive character strings back from Perl::Tidy should set this flag, if necessary, to avoid any problems when the default changes. For more information see the above links and the Perl::Tidy man pages for example coding. - The possible values of the string \'s\' for the flag \'--character-encoding=s\' have been limited to \'utf8\' (or UTF-8), \'none\', or \'guess\'. Previously an arbitrary encoding could also be specified, but as a result of discussions regarding git #83 it became clear that this could cause trouble since the output encoding was still restricted to UTF-8. Users who need to work in other encodings can write a short program calling Perl::Tidy with pre- and post-processing to handle encoding/decoding. - A new flag --break-after-labels=i, or -bal=i, was added for git #86. This controls line breaks after labels, to provide a uniform style, as follows: - bal=0 follows the input line breaks [DEFAULT] - bal=1 always break after a label - bal=2 never break after a label For example: [#] perltidy -bal=1 INIT: { $xx = 1.234; } [#] perltidy -bal=2 INIT: { $xx = 1.234; } - Fix issue git #82, an error handling something like ${bareword} in a possible indirect object location. Perl allows this, now perltidy does too. - The flags -kbb=s or --keep-old-breakpoints-before=s, and its counterpart - kba=s or --keep-old-breakpoints-after=s have expanded functionality for the container tokens: { [ ( } ] ). The updated man pages have details. - Two new flags have been added to provide finer vertical alignment control, - -valign-exclusion-list=s (-vxl=s) and --valign-inclusion-list=s (-vil=s). This has been requested several times, most recently in git #79, and it finally got done. For example, -vil=\'=>\' means just align on \'=>\'. - A new flag -gal=s, --grep-alias-list=s, has been added as suggested in git #77. This allows code blocks passed to list operator functions to be formatted in the same way as a code block passed to grep, map, or sort. By default, the following list operators in List::Util are included: all any first none notall reduce reductions They can be changed with the flag -gaxl=s, -grep-alias-exclusion-list=s - A new flag -xlp has been added which can be set to avoid most of the limitations of the -lp flag regarding side comments, blank lines, and code blocks. See the man pages for more info. This fixes git #64 and git #74. The older -lp flag still works. - A new flag -lpil=s, --line-up-parentheses-inclusion-list=s, has been added as an alternative to -lpxl=s, --line-up-parentheses-exclusion-list=s. It supplies equivalent information but is much easier to describe and use. It works for both the older -lp version and the newer -xlp. - The coding for the older -lp flag has been updated to avoid some problems and limitations. The new coding allows the -lp indentation style to mix smoothly with the standard indentation in a single file. Some problems where -lp and -xci flags were not working well together have been fixed, such as happened in issue rt140025. As a result of these updates some minor changes in existing code using the -lp style may occur. - This version of perltidy was stress-tested for many cpu hours with random input parameters. No failures to converge, internal fault checks, undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen. - Numerous minor fixes have been made, mostly very rare formatting instabilities found in random testing.
* Sat Oct 30 2021 Tina Müller - updated to 20211029 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2021 10 29 - No significant bugs have been found since the last release, but several minor issues have been fixed. Vertical alignment has been improved for lists of call args which are not contained within parens (next item). - Vertical alignment of function calls without parens has been improved with the goal of making vertical alignment essentially the same with or without parens around the call args. Some examples: [#] OLD mkTextConfig $c, $x, $y, -anchor => \'se\', $color; mkTextConfig $c, $x + 30, $y, -anchor => \'s\', $color; mkTextConfig $c, $x + 60, $y, -anchor => \'sw\', $color; mkTextConfig $c, $x, $y + 30, -anchor => \'e\', $color; [#] NEW mkTextConfig $c, $x, $y, -anchor => \'se\', $color; mkTextConfig $c, $x + 30, $y, -anchor => \'s\', $color; mkTextConfig $c, $x + 60, $y, -anchor => \'sw\', $color; mkTextConfig $c, $x, $y + 30, -anchor => \'e\', $color; [#] OLD is id_2obj($id), undef, \"unregistered object not retrieved\"; is scalar keys %$ob_reg, 0, \"object registry empty\"; is register($obj), $obj, \"object returned by register\"; is scalar keys %$ob_reg, 1, \"object registry nonempty\"; is id_2obj($id), $obj, \"registered object retrieved\"; [#] NEW is id_2obj($id), undef, \"unregistered object not retrieved\"; is scalar keys %$ob_reg, 0, \"object registry empty\"; is register($obj), $obj, \"object returned by register\"; is scalar keys %$ob_reg, 1, \"object registry nonempty\"; is id_2obj($id), $obj, \"registered object retrieved\"; This will cause some changes in alignment, hopefully for the better, particularly in test code which often uses numerous parenless function calls with functions like \'ok\', \'is\', \'is_deeply\', .... - Two new parameters were added to control the block types to which the - bl (--opening-brace-on-new-line) flag applies. The new parameters are - block-left-list=s, or -bll=s, and --block-left-exclusion-list=s, or -blxl=s. Previously the -bl flag was \'hardwired\' to apply to nearly all blocks. The default values of the new parameters retain the the old default behavior but allow it to be changed. - The default behavior of the -bli (-brace-left-and-indent) flag has changed slightly. Previously, if you set -bli, then the -bl flag would also automatically be set. Consequently, block types which were not included in the default list for -bli would get -bl formatting. This is no longer done, and these two styles are now controlled independently. The manual describes the controls. If you want to recover the exact previous default behavior of the -bli then add the -bl flag. - A partial fix was made for issue for git #74. The -lp formatting style was being lost when a one-line anonymous sub was followed by a closing brace. - Fixed issue git #73, in which the -nfpva flag was not working correctly. Some unwanted vertical alignments of spaced function perens were being made. - Updated the man pages to clarify the flags -valign and -novalign for turning vertical alignment on and off (issue git #72). Added parameters -vc -vsc -vbc for separately turning off vertical alignment of code, side comments and block comments. - Fixed issue git #68, where a blank line following a closing code-skipping comment, \'#>>V\', could be lost. - This version runs 10 to 15 percent faster on large files than the previous release due to optimizations made with the help of NYTProf. - This version of perltidy was stress-tested for many cpu hours with random input parameters. No instabilities, internal fault checks, undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen. - Numerous minor fixes have been made, mostly very rare formatting instabilities found in random testing. An effort has been made to minimize changes to existing formatting that these fixes produce, but occasional changes may occur. Many of these updates are listed at: https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/local-docs/BugLog.pod
* Sun Jul 18 2021 Tina Müller - updated to 20210717 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2021 07 17 - This release is being made mainly because of the next item, in which an error message about an uninitialized value error message could be produced in certain cases when format-skipping is used. The error message was annoying but harmless to formatting. - Fixed an undefined variable message, see git #67. When a format skipping comment \'#<<\' is placed before the first line of code in a script, a message \'Use of uninitialized value $Ktoken_vars in numeric ...\' can occur. - A warning will no longer be given if a script has an opening code-skipping comment \'#<>V\'. This makes code-skipping and format-skipping behave in a similar way: an opening comment without a corresponding closing comment will cause the rest of a file to be skipped. If there is a question about which lines are skipped, a .LOG file can be produced with the -g flag and it will have this information. - Removed the limit on -ci=n when -xci is set, reference: rt #136415. This update removes a limit in the previous two versions in which the value of -ci=n was limited to the value of -i=n when -xci was set. This limit had been placed to avoid some formatting instabilities, but recent coding improvements allow the limit to be removed. - The -wn and -bbxx=n flags were not working together correctly. This has been fixed. - This version may produce occasional differences in formatting compared to previous versions, mainly for lines which are near the specified line length limit. This is due to ongoing efforts to eliminate edge cases of formatting instability. - Numerous minor fixes have been made. A complete list is at: https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/local-docs/BugLog.pod
* Fri Jun 25 2021 Tina Müller - updated to 20210625 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2021 06 25 - This release adds several new requested parameters. No significant bugs have been found since the last release, but a number of minor problems have been corrected. - Added a new option \'--code-skipping\', requested in git #65, in which code between comment lines \'#<>V\' is passed verbatim to the output stream without error checking. It is simmilar to --format-skipping but there is no error checking of the skipped code. This can be useful for skipping past code which employs an extended syntax. - Added a new option for closing paren placement, -vtc=3, requested in rt #136417. - Added flag -atnl, --add-terminal-newline, to help issue git #58. This flag tells perltidy to terminate the last line of the output stream with a newline character, regardless of whether or not the input stream was terminated with a newline character. This is the default. If this flag is negated, with -natnl, then perltidy will add a terminal newline character to the the output stream only if the input stream is terminated with a newline. - Some nested structures formatted with the -lp indentation option may have some changes in indentation. This is due to updates which were made to prevent formatting instability when line lengths are limited by the maximum line length. Most scripts will not be affected. If this causes unwanted formatting changes, try increasing the --maximum-line-length by a few characters. - Numerous minor fixes have been made. A complete list is at: https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/local-docs/BugLog.pod
* Fri Apr 02 2021 Tina Müller - updated to 20210402 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2021 04 02 - This release fixes several non-critical bugs which have been found since the last release. An effort has been made to keep existing formatting unchanged. - Fixed issue git #57 regarding uninitialized warning flag. - Added experimental flag -lpxl=s requested in issue git #56 to provide some control over which containers get -lp indentation. - Fixed issue git #55 regarding lack of coordination of the --break-before-xxx flags and the --line-up-parens flag. - Fixed issue git #54 regarding irregular application of the --break-before-paren and similar --break-before-xxx flags, in which lists without commas were not being formatted according to these flags. - Fixed issue git #53. A flag was added to turn off alignment of spaced function parens. If the --space-function-paren, -sfp flag is set, a side-effect is that the spaced function parens may get vertically aligned. This can be undesirable, so a new parameter \'--function-paren-vertical-alignment\', or \'-fpva\', has been added to turn this vertical alignment off. The default is \'-fpva\', so that existing formatting is not changed. Use \'-nfpva\' to turn off unwanted vertical alignment. To illustrate the possibilities: [#] perltidy [default] myfun( $aaa, $b, $cc ); mylongfun( $a, $b, $c ); [#] perltidy -sfp myfun ( $aaa, $b, $cc ); mylongfun ( $a, $b, $c ); [#] perltidy -sfp -nfpva myfun ( $aaa, $b, $cc ); mylongfun ( $a, $b, $c ); - Fixed issue git #51, a closing qw bare paren was not being outdented when the -nodelete-old-newlines flag was set. - Fixed numerous edge cases involving unusual parameter combinations which could cause alternating output states. Most scripts will not be changed by these fixes. - A more complete list of updates is at https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/local-docs/BugLog.pod
* Mon Jan 11 2021 Tina Müller - updated to 20210111 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2021 01 11 - Fixed issue git #49, -se breaks warnings exit status behavior. The exit status flag was not always being set when the -se flag was set. - Some improvements have been made in the method for aligning side comments. One of the problems that was fixed is that there was a tendency for side comment placement to drift to the right in long scripts. Programs with side comments may have a few changes. - Some improvements have been made in formatting qw quoted lists. This fixes issue git #51, in which closing qw pattern delimiters not always following the settings specified by the --closing-token-indentation=n settings. Now qw closing delimiters \')\', \'}\' and \']\' follow these flags, and the delimiter \'>\' follows the flag for \')\'. Other qw pattern delimiters remain indented as the are now. This change will cause some small formatting changes in some existing programs. - Another change involving qw lists is that they get full indentation, rather than just continuation indentation, if (1) the closing delimiter is one of } ) ] > and is on a separate line, (2) the opening delimiter (i.e. \'qw{\' ) is also on a separate line, and (3) the -xci flag (--extended-continuation-indentation) is set. This improves formatting when qw lists are contained in other lists. For example, [#] OLD: perltidy foreach $color ( qw( AntiqueWhite3 Bisque1 Bisque2 Bisque3 Bisque4 SlateBlue3 RoyalBlue1 SteelBlue2 DeepSkyBlue3 ), qw( LightBlue1 DarkSlateGray1 Aquamarine2 DarkSeaGreen2 SeaGreen1 Yellow1 IndianRed1 IndianRed2 Tan1 Tan4 ) ) [#] NEW, perltidy -xci foreach $color ( qw( AntiqueWhite3 Bisque1 Bisque2 Bisque3 Bisque4 SlateBlue3 RoyalBlue1 SteelBlue2 DeepSkyBlue3 ), qw( LightBlue1 DarkSlateGray1 Aquamarine2 DarkSeaGreen2 SeaGreen1 Yellow1 IndianRed1 IndianRed2 Tan1 Tan4 ) ) - Some minor improvements have been made to the rules for formatting some edge vertical alignment cases, usually involving two dissimilar lines. - A more complete list of updates is at https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/local-docs/BugLog.pod
* Mon Dec 07 2020 Tina Müller - updated to 20201207 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md
* Thu Dec 03 2020 Tina Müller - updated to 20201202 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2020 12 02 - This release is being made primarily to make available a several new formatting parameters, in particular -xci, -kbb=s, -kba=s, and -wnxl=s. No significant bugs have been found since the previous release, but numerous minor issues have been found and fixed as listed below. - This version is about 20% faster than the previous version due to optimizations made with the help of Devel::NYTProf. - Added flag -wnxl=s, --weld-nested-exclusion-list=s, to provide control which containers are welded with the --weld-nested-containers parameter. This is related to issue git #45. - Merged pull request git #46 which fixes the docs regarding the -fse flag. - Fixed issue git #45, -vtc=n flag was ignored when -wn was set. - implement request RT #133649, delete-old-newlines selectively. Two parameters, - kbb=s or --keep-old-breakpoints-before=s, and - kba=s or --keep-old-breakpoints-after=s were added to request that old breakpoints be kept before or after selected token types. For example, -kbb=\'=>\' means that newlines before fat commas should be kept. - Fix git #44, fix exit status for assert-tidy/untidy. The exit status was always 0 for --assert-tidy if the user had turned off all error messages with the -quiet flag. This has been fixed. - Add flag -maxfs=n, --maximum-file-size-mb=n. This parameter is provided to avoid causing system problems by accidentally attempting to format an extremely large data file. The default is n=10. The command to increase the limit to 20 MB for example would be -mfs=20. This only applies to files specified by filename on the command line. - Skip formatting if there are too many indentation level errors. This is controlled with -maxle=n, --maximum-level-errors=n. This means that if the ending indentation differs from the starting indentation by more than n levels, the file will be output verbatim. The default is n=1. To skip this check, set n=-1 or set n to a large number. - A related new flag, --maximum-unexpected-errors=n, or -maxue=n, is available but is off by default. - Add flag -xci, --extended-continuation-indentation, regarding issue git #28 This flag causes continuation indentation to \"extend\" deeper into structures. Since this is a fairly new flag, the default is -nxci to avoid disturbing existing formatting. BUT you will probably see some improved formatting in complex data structures by setting this flag if you currently use -ci=n and -i=n with the same value of \'n\' (as is the case if you use -pbp, - -perl-best-practices, where n=4). - Fix issue git #42, clarify how --break-at-old-logical-breakpoints works. The man page was updated to note that it does not cause all logical breakpoints to be replicated in the output file. - Fix issue git #41, typo in manual regarding -fsb. - Fix issue git #40: when using the -bli option, a closing brace followed by a semicolon was not being indented. This applies to braces which require semicolons, such as a \'do\' block. - Added \'state\' as a keyword. - A better test for convergence has been added. When iterations are requested, the new test will stop after the first pass if no changes in line break locations are made. Previously, file checksums were used and required at least two passes to verify convergence unless no formatting changes were made. With the new test, only a single pass is needed when formatting changes are limited to adjustments of indentation and whitespace on the lines of code. Extensive testing has been made to verify the correctness of the new convergence test. - Line breaks are now automatically placed after \'use overload\' to improve formatting when there are numerous overloaded operators. For example use overload \'+\' => sub { ... - A number of minor problems with parsing signatures and prototypes have been corrected, particularly multi-line signatures. Some signatures had previously been parsed as if they were prototypes, which meant the normal spacing rules were not applied. For example OLD: sub echo ($message= \'Hello World!\' ) { ...; } NEW: sub echo ( $message = \'Hello World!\' ) { ...; } - Numerous minor issues that the average user would not encounter were found and fixed. They can be seen in the more complete list of updates at https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/local-docs/BugLog.pod
* Tue Sep 29 2020 Tina Müller - updated to 20201001 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2020 10 01 - Robustness of perltidy has been significantly improved. Updating is recommended. Continual automated testing runs began about 1 Sep 2020 and numerous issues have been found and fixed. Many involve references to uninitialized variables when perltidy is fed random text and random control parameters. A complete list is given in the file https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/local-docs/BugLog.pod - Added the token \'->\' to the list of alignment tokens, as suggested in git [#39], so that it can be vertically aligned if a space is placed before them with -wls=\'->\'. - Added parameters -bbhb=n (--break-before-hash-brace=n), -bbsb=n (--break-before-square-bracket=n), and -bbp=n (--break-before-paren=n) suggested in git #38. These provide control over the opening container token of a multiple-line list. Related new parameters -bbhbi=n, -bbsbi=n, -bbpi=n control indentation of these tokens. - Added keyword \'isa\'.
* Mon Sep 07 2020 Tina Müller - updated to 20200907 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2020 09 07 - Fixed bug git #37, an error when the combination -scbb -csc was used. It occurs in perltidy versions 20200110, 20200619, and 20200822. What happens is that when two consecutive lines with isolated closing braces had new side comments generated by the -csc parameter, a separating newline was missing. The resulting script will not then run, but worse, if it is reformatted with the same parameters then closing side comments could be overwritten and data lost. This problem was found during automated random testing. The parameter - scbb is rarely used, which is probably why this has not been reported. Please upgrade your version. - Added parameter --non-indenting-braces, or -nib, which prevents code from indenting one level if it follows an opening brace marked with a special side comment, \'#<<<\'. For example, { #<<< a closure to contain lexical vars my $var; # this line does not indent } [#] this line cannot \'see\' $var; This is on by default. If your code happens to have some opening braces followed by \'#<<<\', and you don\'t want this, you can use -nnib to deactivate it. - Side comment locations reset at a line ending in a level 0 open block, such as when a new multi-line sub begins. This is intended to help keep side comments from drifting to far to the right.
* Sun Aug 23 2020 Tina Müller - updated to 20200822 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2020 08 22 - Fix RT #133166, encoding not set for -st. Also reported as RT #133171 and git #35. This is a significant bug in version 20200616 which can corrupt data if perltidy is run as a filter on encoded text.
*
*Please upgrade
*
* - Fix issue RT #133161, perltidy -html was not working on pod - Fix issue git #33, allow control of space after \'->\' - Vertical alignment has been improved. Numerous minor issues have been fixed. - Formatting with the -lp option is improved. - Fixed issue git #32, misparse of bare \'ref\' in ternary - When --assert-tidy is used and triggers an error, the first difference between input and output files is shown in the error output. This is a partial response to issue git #30.
* Sat Jun 20 2020 Tina Müller - updated to 20200619 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2020 06 19 - Added support for Switch::Plain syntax, issue git #31. - Fixed minor problem where trailing \'unless\' clauses were not getting vertically aligned. - Added a parameter --logical-padding or -lop to allow logical padding to be turned off. Requested by git #29. This flag is on by default. The man pages have examples. - Added a parameter -kpit=n to control spaces inside of parens following certain keywords, requested in git#26. This flag is off by default. - Added fix for git#25, improve vertical alignment for long lists with varying numbers of items per line. - calls to the module Perl::Tidy can now capture any output produced by a debug flag or one of the \'tee\' flags through the new \'debugfile\' and \'teefile\' call parameters. These output streams are rarely used but they are now treated the same as any \'logfile\' stream. - add option --break-at-old-semicolon-breakpoints\', -bos, requested in RT#131644. This flag will keep lines beginning with a semicolon. - Added --use-unicode-gcstring to control use of Unicode::GCString for evaluating character widths of encoded data. The default is not to use this (--nouse-unicode-gcstring). If this flag is set, perltidy will look for Unicode::GCString and, if found, will use it to evaluate character display widths. This can improve displayed vertical alignment for files with wide characters. It is a nice feature but it is off by default to avoid conflicting formatting when there are multiple developers. Perltidy installation does not require Unicode::GCString, so users wanting to use this feature need set this flag and also to install Unicode::GCString separately. - Added --character-encoding=guess or -guess to have perltidy guess if a file (or other input stream) is encoded as -utf8 or some other single-byte encoding. This is useful when processing a mixture of file types, such as utf8 and latin-1. Please Note: The default encoding has been set to be \'guess\' instead of \'none\'. This seems like the best default, since it allows perltidy work properly with both utf8 files and older latin-1 files. The guess mode uses Encode::Guess, which is included in standard perl distributions, and only tries to guess if a file is utf8 or not, never any other encoding. If the guess is utf8, and if the file successfully decodes as utf8, then it the encoding is assumed to be utf8. Otherwise, no encoding is assumed. If you do not want to use this new default guess mode, or have a problem with it, you can set --character-encoding=none (the previous default) or --character-encoding=utf8 (if you deal with utf8 files). - Specific encodings of input files other than utf8 may now be given, for example --character-encoding=euc-jp. - Fix for git#22, Preserve function signature on a single line. An unwanted line break was being introduced when a closing signature paren followed a closing do brace. - Fix RT#132059, the -dac parameter was not working and caused an error exit - When -utf8 is used, any error output is encoded as utf8 - Fix for git#19, adjust line break around an \'xor\' - Fix for git#18, added warning for missing comma before unknown bare word.
* Fri Jan 10 2020 - updated to 20200110 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2020 01 10 - This release adds a flag to control the feature RT#130394 (allow short nested blocks) introduced in the previous release. Unfortunately that feature breaks RPerl installations, so a control flag has been introduced and that feature is now off by default. The flag is: - -one-line-block-nesting=n, or -olbn=n, where n is an integer as follows: - olbn=0 break nested one-line blocks into multiple lines [new DEFAULT] - olbn=1 stable; keep existing nested-one line blocks intact [previous DEFAULT] For example, consider this input line: foreach (AATTlist) { if ($_ eq $asked_for) { last } ++$found } The new default behavior (-olbn=0), and behavior prior to version 20191203, is to break it into multiple lines: foreach (AATTlist) { if ( $_ eq $asked_for ) { last } ++$found; } To keep nested one-line blocks such as this on a single line you can add the parameter -olbn=1. - Fixed issue RT#131288: parse error for un-prototyped constant function without parenthesized call parameters followed by ternary. - Fixed issue RT#131360, installation documentation. Added a note that the binary \'perltidy\' comes with the Perl::Tidy module. They can both normally be installed with \'cpanm Perl::Tidy\'
* Wed Dec 04 2019 - updated to 20191203 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2019 12 03 - Fixed issue RT#131115: -bli option not working correctly. Closing braces were not indented in some cases due to a glitch introduced in version 20181120. - Fixed issue RT#130394: Allow short nested blocks. Given the following $factorial = sub { reduce { $a
* $b } 1 .. 11 }; Previous versions would always break the sub block because it contains another block (the reduce block). The fix keeps short one-line blocks such as this intact. - Implement issue RT#130640: Allow different subroutine keywords. Added a flag --sub-alias-list=s or -sal=s, where s is a string with one or more aliases for \'sub\', separated by spaces or commas. For example, perltidy -sal=\'method fun\' will cause the perltidy to treat the words \'method\' and \'fun\' to be treated the same as if they were \'sub\'. - Added flag --space-prototype-paren=i, or -spp=i, to control spacing before the opening paren of a prototype, where i=0, 1, or 2: i=0 no space i=1 follow input [current and default] i=2 always space Previously, perltidy always followed the input. For example, given the following input sub usage(); The result will be: sub usage(); # i=0 [no space] sub usage(); # i=1 [default; follows input] sub usage (); # i=2 [space] - Fixed issue git#16, minor vertical alignment issue. - Fixed issue git#10, minor conflict of -wn and -ce - Improved some vertical alignments involving two lines.
* Mon Sep 16 2019 - updated to 20190915 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2019 09 15 - fixed issue RT#130344: false warning \"operator in print statement\" for \"use lib\". - fixed issue RT#130304: standard error output should include filename. When perltidy error messages are directed to the standard error output with -se or --standard-error-output, the message lines now have a prefix \'filename:\' for clarification in case multiple files are processed, where \'filename\' is the name of the input file. If input is from the standard input the displayed filename is \'\', and if it is from a data structure then displayed filename is \'\'. - implement issue RT#130425: check mode. A new flag \'--assert-tidy\' will cause an error message if the output script is not identical to the input script. For completeness, the opposite flag \'--assert-untidy\' has also been added. The next item, RT#130297, insures that the script will exit with a non-zero exit flag if the assertion fails. - fixed issue RT#130297; the perltidy script now exits with a nonzero exit status if it wrote to the standard error output. Prevously only fatal run errors produced a non-zero exit flag. Now, even non-fatal messages requested with the -w flag will cause a non-zero exit flag. The exit flag now has these values: 0 = no errors 1 = perltidy could not run to completion due to errors 2 = perltidy ran to completion with error messages - added warning message for RT#130008, which warns of conflicting input parameters -iob and -bom or -boc. - fixed RT#129850; concerning a space between a closing block brace and opening bracket or brace, as occurs before the \'[\' in this line: my AATTaddunix = map { File::Spec::Unix->catfile( AATTROOT, AATT$_ ) } [\'b\']; Formerly, any space was removed. Now it is optional, and the output will follow the input. - fixed issue git#13, needless trailing whitespace in error message - fixed issue git#9: if the -ce (--cuddled-else) flag is used, do not try to form new one line blocks for a block type specified with -cbl, particularly map, sort, grep - iteration speedup for unchanged code. Previously, when iterations were requested, at least two formatting passes were made. Now just a single pass is made if the formatted code is identical to the input code. - some improved vertical alignments
* Sat Jun 01 2019 Stephan Kulow - updated to 20190601 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md [#]# 2019 06 01 - rt #128477: Prevent inconsistent owner/group and setuid/setgid bits. In the -b (--backup-and-modify-in-place) mode, an attempt is made to set ownership of the output file equal to the input file, if they differ. In all cases, if the final output file ownership differs from input file, any setuid/setgid bits are cleared. - Added option -bom (--break-at-old-method-breakpoints) by merrillymeredith which preserves breakpoints of method chains. Modified to also handle a cuddled call style. - Merged patch to fix Windows EOL translation error with UTF-8 written by Ron Ivy. This update prevents automatic conversion to \'DOS\' CRLF line endings. Also, Windows system testing at the appveyor site is working again. - RT #128280, added flag --one-line-block-semicolons=n (-olbs=n) to control semicolons in one-line blocks. The values of n are: n=0 means no semicolons termininating simple one-line blocks n=1 means stable; do not change from input file [DEFAULT and current] n=2 means always add semicolons in one-line blocks The current behavior corresponds to the default n=1. - RT #128216, Minor update to prevent inserting unwanted blank line at indentation level change. This should not change existing scripts. - RT #81852: Improved indentation when quoted word (qw) lists are nested within other containers using the --weld-nested (-wn) flag. The example given previously (below) is now closer to what it would be with a simple list instead of qw: [#] perltidy -wn use_all_ok( qw{ PPI PPI::Tokenizer PPI::Lexer PPI::Dumper PPI::Find PPI::Normal PPI::Util PPI::Cache } ); - RT#12764, introduced new feature allowing placement of blanks around sequences of selected keywords. This can be activated with the -kgb
* series of parameters described in the manual. - Rewrote vertical algnment module. It is better at finding patterns in complex code. For example, OLD: /^-std$/ && do { $std = 1; next; }; /^--$/ && do { AATTlink_args = AATTargv; last; }; /^-I(.
*)/ && do { $path = $1 || shift AATTargv; next; }; NEW: /^-std$/ && do { $std = 1; next; }; /^--$/ && do { AATTlink_args = AATTargv; last; }; /^-I(.
*)/ && do { $path = $1 || shift AATTargv; next; }; - Add repository URLs to META files - RT #118553, \"leave only one newline at end of file\". This option was not added because of undesirable side effects, but a new filter script was added which can do this, \"examples/delete_ending_blank_lines.pl\".
* Thu Dec 06 2018 Stephan Kulow - updated to 20181120 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES.md
* Wed Feb 21 2018 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 20180220 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES 2018 02 20 - RT #124469, #124494, perltidy often making empty files. The previous had an index error causing it to fail, particularly in version 5.18 of Perl. Please avoid version 20180219.
* Mon Feb 19 2018 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 20180219 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES 2018 02 19 - RT #79947, cuddled-else generalization. A new flag -cb provides \'cuddled-else\' type formatting for an arbitrary type of block chain. The default is try-catch-finally, but this can be modified with the parameter -cbl. - Fixed RT #124298: add space after ! operator without breaking !! secret operator - RT #123749: numerous minor improvements to the -wn flag were made. - Fixed a problem with convergence tests in which iterations were stopping prematurely. - Here doc targets for <<~ type here-docs may now have leading whitespace. - Fixed RT #124354. The \'-indent-only\' flag was not working correctly in the previous release. A bug in version 20180101 caused extra blank lines to be output. - Issue RT #124114. Some improvements were made in vertical alignment involving \'fat commas\'.
* Mon Jan 01 2018 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 20180101 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES 2018 01 01 - Added new flag -wn (--weld-nested-containers) which addresses these issues: RT #123749: Problem with promises; RT #119970: opening token stacking strange behavior; RT #81853: Can\'t stack block braces This option causes closely nested pairs of opening and closing containers to be \"welded\" together and essentially be formatted as a single unit, with just one level of indentation. Since this is a new flag it is set to be \"off\" by default but it has given excellent results in testing. EXAMPLE 1, multiple blocks, default formatting: do { { next if $x == $y; # do something here } } until $x++ > $z; perltidy -wn do { { next if $x == $y; } } until $x++ > $z; EXAMPLE 2, three levels of wrapped function calls, default formatting: p( em( conjug( translate( param(\'verb\') ), param(\'tense\'), param(\'person\') ) ) ); [#] perltidy -wn p( em( conjug( translate( param(\'verb\') ), param(\'tense\'), param(\'person\') ) ) ); [#] EXAMPLE 3, chained method calls, default formatting: get(\'http://mojolicious.org\')->then( sub { my $mojo = shift; say $mojo->res->code; return get(\'http://metacpan.org\'); } )->then( sub { my $cpan = shift; say $cpan->res->code; } )->catch( sub { my $err = shift; warn \"Something went wrong: $err\"; } )->wait; [#] perltidy -wn get(\'http://mojolicious.org\')->then( sub { my $mojo = shift; say $mojo->res->code; return get(\'http://metacpan.org\'); } )->then( sub { my $cpan = shift; say $cpan->res->code; } )->catch( sub { my $err = shift; warn \"Something went wrong: $err\"; } )->wait; - Fixed RT #114359: Missparsing of \"print $x
*
* 0.5; - Deactivated the --check-syntax flag for better security. It will be ignored if set. - Corrected minimum perl version from 5.004 to 5.008 based on perlver report. The change is required for coding involving wide characters. - For certain severe errors, the source file will be copied directly to the output without formatting. These include ending in a quote, ending in a here doc, and encountering an unidentified character.
* Thu Dec 14 2017 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 20171214 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES 2017 12 14 - RT #123749, partial fix. \"Continuation indentation\" is removed from lines with leading closing parens which are part of a call chain. For example, the call to pack() is is now outdented to the starting indentation in the following experession: [#] OLD $mw->Button( - text => \"New Document\", - command => \\&new_document )->pack( - side => \'bottom\', - anchor => \'e\' ); [#] NEW $mw->Button( - text => \"New Document\", - command => \\&new_document )->pack( - side => \'bottom\', - anchor => \'e\' ); This modification improves readability of complex expressions, especially when the user uses the same value for continuation indentation (-ci=n) and normal indentation (-i=n). Perltidy was already programmed to do this but a minor bug was preventing it. - RT #123774, added flag to control space between a backslash and a single or double quote, requested by Robert Rothenberg. The issue is that lines like $str1=\\\"string1\"; $str2=\\\'string2\'; confuse syntax highlighters unless a space is left between the backslash and the quote. The new flag to control this is -sbq=n (--space-backslash-quote=n), where n=0 means no space, n=1 means follow existing code, n=2 means always space. The default is n=1, meaning that a space will be retained if there is one in the source code. - Fixed RT #123492, support added for indented here doc operator <<~ added in v5.26. Thanks to Chris Weyl for the report. - Fixed docs; --closing-side-comment-list-string should have been just - -closing-side-comment-list. Thanks to F.Li. - Added patch RT #122030] Perl::Tidy sometimes does not call binmode. Thanks to Irilis Aelae. - Fixed RT #121959, PERLTIDY doesn\'t honor the \'three dot\' notation for locating a config file using environment variables. Thanks to John Wittkowski. - Minor improvements to formatting, in which some additional vertical aligmnemt is done. Thanks to Keith Neargarder. - RT #119588. Vertical alignment is no longer done for // operator.
* Thu May 25 2017 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 20170521 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES 2017 05 21 - Fixed debian #862667: failure to check for perltidy.ERR deletion can lead to overwriting abritrary files by symlink attack. Perltidy was continuing to write files after an unlink failure. Thanks to Don Armstrong for a patch. - Fixed RT #116344, perltidy fails on certain anonymous hash references: in the following code snippet the \'?\' was misparsed as a pattern delimiter rather than a ternary operator. return ref {} ? 1 : 0; - Fixed RT #113792: misparsing of a fat comma (=>) right after the __END__ or __DATA__ tokens. These keywords were getting incorrectly quoted by the following => operator. - Fixed RT #118558. Custom Getopt::Long configuration breaks parsing of perltidyrc. Perltidy was resetting the users configuration too soon. - Fixed RT #119140, failure to parse double diamond operator. Code to handle this new operator has been added. - Fixed RT #120968. Fixed problem where -enc=utf8 didn\'t work with --backup-and-modify-in-place. Thanks to Heinz Knutzen for this patch. - Fixed minor formatting issue where one-line blocks for subs with signatures were unnecesarily broken - RT #32905, patch to fix utf-8 error when output was STDOUT. - RT #79947, improved spacing of try/catch/finally blocks. Thanks to qsimpleq for a patch. - Fixed #114909, Anonymous subs with signatures and prototypes misparsed as broken ternaries, in which a statement such as this was not being parsed correctly: return sub ( $fh, $out ) : prototype(
*$) { ... } - Implemented RT #113689, option to introduces spaces after an opening block brace and before a closing block brace. Four new optional controls are added. The first two define the minimum number of blank lines to be inserted - blao=i or --blank-lines-after-opening-block=i - blbc=i or --blank-lines-before-closing-block=i where i is an integer, the number of lines (the default is 0). The second two define the types of blocks to which the first two apply - blaol=s or --blank-lines-after-opening-block-list=s - blbcl=s or --blank-lines-before-closing-block-list=s where s is a string of possible block keywords (default is just \'sub\', meaning a named subroutine). For more information please see the documentation. - The method for specifying block types for certain input parameters has been generalized to distinguish between normal named subroutines and anonymous subs. The keyword for normal subroutines remains \'sub\', and the new keyword for anonymous subs is \'asub\'. - Minor documentation changes. The BUGS sections now have a link to CPAN where most open bugs and issues can be reviewed and bug reports can be submitted. The information in the AUTHOR and CREDITS sections of the man pages have been removed from the man pages to streamline the documentation. This information is still in the source code.
* Tue Mar 08 2016 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 20160302 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES 2016 03 02 - RT #112534. Corrected a minor problem in which an unwanted newline was placed before the closing brace of an anonymous sub with a signature, if it was in a list. Thanks to Dmytro Zagashev. - Corrected a minor problem in which occasional extra indentation was given to the closing brace of an anonymous sub in a list when the -lp parameter was set. 2016 03 01 - RT #104427. Added support for signatures. - RT #111512. Changed global warning flag $^W = 1 to use warnings; Thanks to Dmytro Zagashev. - RT #110297, added support for new regexp modifier /n Thanks to Dmytro Zagashev. - RT #111519. The -io (--indent-only) and -dac (--delete-all-comments) can now both be used in one pass. Thanks to Dmitry Veltishev. - Patch to avoid error message with \'catch\' used by TryCatch, as in catch($err){ [#] do something } Thanks to Nick Tonkin. - RT #32905, UTF-8 coding is now more robust. Thanks to qsimpleq and Dmytro for patches. - RT #106885. Added string bitwise operators ^. &. |. ~. ^.= &.= |.= - Fixed RT #107832 and #106492, lack of vertical alignment of two lines when -boc flag (break at old commas) is set. This bug was inadvertantly introduced in previous bug fix RT #98902. - Some common extensions to Perl syntax are handled better. In particular, the following snippet is now foratted cleanly: method deposit( Num $amount) { $self->balance( $self->balance + $amount ); } A new flag -xs (--extended-syntax) was added to enable this, and the default is to use -xs. In previous versions, and now only when -nxs is set, this snippet of code generates the following error message: \"syntax error at \') {\', didn\'t see one of: case elsif for foreach given if switch unless until when while\"
* Sun Aug 23 2015 cooloAATTsuse.com- updated to 20150815 see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-Perl-Tidy/CHANGES 2015 08 15 - Fixed RT# 105484, Invalid warning about \'else\' in \'switch\' statement. The warning happened if a \'case\' statement did not use parens. - Fixed RT# 101547, misparse of // caused error message. Also.. - Fixed RT# 102371, misparse of // caused unwated space in //= - Fixed RT# 100871, \"silent failure of HTML Output on Windows\". Changed calls to tempfile() from: my ( $fh_tmp, $tmpfile ) = tempfile(); to have the full path name: my ( $fh_tmp, $tmpfile ) = File::Temp::tempfile() because of problems in the Windows version reported by Dean Pearce. - Fixed RT# 99514, calling the perltidy module multiple times with a .perltidyrc file containing the parameter --output-line-ending caused a crash. This was a glitch in the memoization logic. - Fixed RT#99961, multiple lines inside a cast block caused unwanted continuation indentation. - RT# 32905, broken handling of UTF-8 strings. A new flag -utf8 causes perltidy assume UTF-8 encoding for input and output of an io stream. Thanks to Sebastian Podjasek for a patch. This feature may not work correctly in older versions of Perl. It worked in a linux version 5.10.1 but not in a Windows version 5.8.3 (but otherwise perltidy ran correctly). - Warning files now report perltidy VERSION. Suggested by John Karr. - Fixed long flag --nostack-closing-tokens (-nsct has always worked though). This was due to a typo. This also fixed --nostack-opening-tokens to behave correctly. Thanks to Rob Dixon.
