This release has been brought to you by 30 contributors contributing over 101 commits.

New Bears

CSS:

  • StyleLintBear - Lints css files using stylelint

Elm:

  • ElmLintBear - Formats source code according to given set of rules.

Generic:

  • LicenseCheckBear - Checks given files for license. Searches start or end of files for lines belonging to various licenses.
  • DuplicateFileBear - Checks for duplicate files.

Enhancements:

  • FilenameBear can now recognize kebab-case naming convention.
  • FilenameBear can predict naming conventions for wide-spread languages like java, javascript and python. Set the file_naming_convention to auto to use this feature.
  • GitCommitBear can now enforce issue reference in commits.
  • GitCommitBear now recognizes user/repo#12 type issue references.
  • JSONFormatBear notifies if run on empty files.
  • JSONFormatBear tells the lines and columns at which the error occured instead of showing it in the error message.

New settings

  • LineCountBear can now exclude blank lines in counting the number of lines in a file. The new setting name is exclude_blank_lines and it is disabled by default i.e. False.
  • PyUnusedCodeBear can remove unused variables, see setting remove_unused_variable.
  • ShellCheckBear can ignore specific rules by providing those in the ignore_actions setting.
  • YAMLLintBear can now be configured to check for maximum characters in a line, by default it is set to 80.

Default Setting Modifications

  • LanguageToolBear - language setting is changed to natural_language, please update your settings, it'll be deprecated completely in next release.
  • MarkdownBear - max_line_length setting is changed to None instead of 80. Issue 1581
  • YAMLLintBear - document_start setting is changed to None, not forbiding the usage of document start marker(---) by default. Issue 1417

Bug Fixes

  • InvalidLinkBear now extracts links from markdown correctly. Issue 1338
  • InvalidLinkBear now extracts all the links in a line. Earlier it used to extract only the first match.

  • PyImportSortBear now correctly supports option known_third_party_imports. Issue 1510
  • KeywordBear doesn't report false results when unsetting it. Previously, it used to match any text instead of matching nothing. Issue 1689

coala-bears 0.10.1

Bugfixes:

  • Remark dependency has been pinned back to ~5.4 because version 6 changes current behavior and breaks tests. This is a hotfix which will be rolled back when the upstream addresses this.

coala-bears 0.10.0

This release, we had 97 commits contributed by 42 contributors.

The coala website has been updated to a new, more modern design. You can now find a quick overview of bears and their settings at http://coala.io/#!/languages. We also have sample a bear output on the front page for some common languages.

Separation of bear dependencies from the coala_bears package is planned. This release will keep the same behavior as previous releases. However to keep current installation behavior in the future, please use the pip package index option [alldeps] as in pip3 install coala_bears[alldeps].

Here are the important changes and additions. This release tracks coala 0.10. please see the coala release notes for the improvements in this version.
