<h1>Perltidy Change Log</h1>
+<h2>2022 11 12</h2>
+
+<pre><code>- 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 ($curr) = current();
+ err (@_);
+
+ # NEW:
+ my ($curr) = current();
+ err(@_);
+
+- 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.

<h2>2022 06 13</h2>
<pre><code>- No significant bugs have been found since the last release but users
- 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').
+ be turned off with the parameter -vxl='q' (--valign-exclusion-list='q').
# old default, or -vxl='q'
use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions);
