Perltidy Change Log
+ 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"
+
+ 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.
+
+ 2014 07 11
+ - Fixed RT #94902: abbreviation parsing in .perltidyrc files was not
+ working for multi-line abbreviations. Thanks to Eric Fung for
+ supplying a patch.
+
+ - Fixed RT #95708, misparsing of a hash when the first key was a perl
+ keyword, causing a semicolon to be incorrectly added.
+
+ - Fixed RT #94338 for-loop in a parenthesized block-map. A code block within
+ parentheses of a map, sort, or grep function was being mistokenized. In
+ rare cases this could produce in an incorrect error message. The fix will
+ produce some minor formatting changes. Thanks to Daniel Trizen
+ discovering and documenting this.
+
+ - Fixed RT #94354, excess indentation for stacked tokens. Thanks to
+ Colin Williams for supplying a patch.
+
+ - Added support for experimental postfix dereferencing notation introduced in
+ perl 5.20. RT #96021.
+
+ - Updated documentation to clarify the behavior of the -io flag
+ in response to RT #95709. You can add -noll or -l=0 to prevent
+ long comments from being outdented when -io is used.
+
+ - Added a check to prevent a problem reported in RT #81866, where large
+ scripts which had been compressed to a single line could not be formatted
+ because of a check for VERSION for MakeMaker. The workaround was to
+ use -nvpl, but this shouldn't be necessary now.
+
+ - Fixed RT #96101; Closing brace of anonymous sub in a list was being
+ indented. For example, the closing brace of the anonymous sub below
+ will now be lined up with the word 'callback'. This problem
+ occured if there was no comma after the closing brace of the anonymous sub.
+ This update may cause minor changes to formatting of code with lists
+ of anonymous subs, especially TK code.
+
+ # OLD
+ my @menu_items = (
+
+ #...
+ {
+ path => '/_Operate/Transcode and split',
+ callback => sub {
+ return 1 if not $self->project_opened;
+ $self->comp('project')->transcode( split => 1 );
+ }
+ }
+ );
+
+ # NEW
+ my @menu_items = (
+
+ #...
+ {
+ path => '/_Operate/Transcode and split',
+ callback => sub {
+ return 1 if not $self->project_opened;
+ $self->comp('project')->transcode( split => 1 );
+ }
+ }
+ );
+
+ 2014 03 28
+ - Fixed RT #94190 and debian Bug #742004: perltidy.LOG file left behind.
+ Thanks to George Hartzell for debugging this. The problem was
+ caused by the memoization speedup patch in version 20121207. An
+ unwanted flag was being set which caused a LOG to be written if
+ perltidy was called multiple times.
+
+ - New default behavior for LOG files: If the source is from an array or
+ string (through a call to the perltidy module) then a LOG output is only
+ possible if a logfile stream is specified. This is to prevent
+ unexpected perltidy.LOG files.
+
+ - Fixed debian Bug #740670, insecure temporary file usage. File::Temp is now
+ used to get a temporary file. Thanks to Don Anderson for a patch.
+
+ - Any -b (--backup-and-modify-in-place) flag is silently ignored when a
+ source stream, destination stream, or standard output is used.
+ This is because the -b flag may have been in a .perltidyrc file and
+ warnings break Test::NoWarnings. Thanks to Marijn Brand.

- Fixed RT #88020. --converge was not working with wide characters.
