Perltidy Change Log
+ 2010 12 17
+ - added new flag -it=n or --iterations=n
+ This flag causes perltidy to do n complete iterations.
+ For most purposes the default of n=1 should be satisfactory. However n=2
+ can be useful when a major style change is being made, or when code is being
+ beautified on check-in to a source code control system. The run time will be
+ approximately proportional to n, and it should seldom be necessary to use a
+ value greater than n=2. Thanks to Jonathan Swartz
+
+ - A configuration file pathname begins with three dots, e.g.
+ ".../.perltidyrc", indicates that the file should be searched for starting
+ in the current directory and working upwards. This makes it easier to have
+ multiple projects each with their own .perltidyrc in their root directories.
+ Thanks to Jonathan Swartz for this patch.
+
+ - Added flag --notidy which disables all formatting and causes the input to be
+ copied unchanged. This can be useful in conjunction with hierarchical
+ F<.perltidyrc> files to prevent unwanted tidying.
+ Thanks to Jonathan Swartz for this patch.
+
+ - Added prefilters and postfilters in the call to the Tidy.pm module.
+ Prefilters and postfilters. The prefilter is a code reference that
+ will be applied to the source before tidying, and the postfilter
+ is a code reference to the result before outputting.
+
+ Thanks to Jonathan Swartz for this patch. He writes:
+ This is useful for all manner of customizations. For example, I use
+ it to convert the 'method' keyword to 'sub' so that perltidy will work for
+ Method::Signature::Simple code:
+
+ Perl::Tidy::perltidy(
+ prefilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^method (.*)/sub $1 \#__METHOD/gm; return $_ },
+ postfilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^sub (.*?)\s* \#__METHOD/method $1/gm; return $_ }
+ );
+
+ - The starting indentation level of sections of code entabbed with -et=n
+ is correctly guessed if it was also produced with the same -et=n flag. This
+ keeps the indentation stable on repeated formatting passes within an editor.
+ Thanks to Sam Kington and Glenn.
+
+ - Functions with prototype '&' had a space between the function and opening
+ peren. This space now only occurs if the flag --space-function-paren (-sfp)
+ is set. Thanks to Zrajm Akfohg.
+
+ - Patch to never put spaces around a bare word in braces beginning with ^ as in:
+ my $before = ${^PREMATCH};
+ even if requested with the -bt=0 flag because any spaces cause a syntax error in perl.
+ Thanks to Fabrice Dulanoy.
