Perltidy Change Log
+ 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.
+
+ 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 );
+ }
+ }
+ );
