- Fixed issue git #49, -se breaks warnings exit status behavior.
The exit status flag was not always being set when the -se flag was set.
- Some improvements have been made in the method for aligning side comments.
One of the problems that was fixed is that there was a tendency for side comment
placement to drift to the right in long scripts. Programs with side comments
may have a few changes.
- Some improvements have been made in formatting qw quoted lists. This
fixes issue git #51, in which closing qw pattern delimiters not always
following the settings specified by the --closing-token-indentation=n settings.
Now qw closing delimiters ')', '}' and ']' follow these flags, and the
delimiter '>' follows the flag for ')'. Other qw pattern delimiters remain
indented as the are now. This change will cause some small formatting changes
in some existing programs.
- Another change involving qw lists is that they get full indentation,
rather than just continuation indentation, if
(1) the closing delimiter is one of } ) ] > and is on a separate line,
(2) the opening delimiter (i.e. 'qw{' ) is also on a separate line, and
(3) the -xci flag (--extended-continuation-indentation) is set.
This improves formatting when qw lists are contained in other lists. For example,
# OLD: perltidy
foreach $color (
qw(
AntiqueWhite3 Bisque1 Bisque2 Bisque3 Bisque4
SlateBlue3 RoyalBlue1 SteelBlue2 DeepSkyBlue3
),
qw(
LightBlue1 DarkSlateGray1 Aquamarine2 DarkSeaGreen2
SeaGreen1 Yellow1 IndianRed1 IndianRed2 Tan1 Tan4
)
)
# NEW, perltidy -xci
foreach $color (
qw(
AntiqueWhite3 Bisque1 Bisque2 Bisque3 Bisque4
SlateBlue3 RoyalBlue1 SteelBlue2 DeepSkyBlue3
),
qw(
LightBlue1 DarkSlateGray1 Aquamarine2 DarkSeaGreen2
SeaGreen1 Yellow1 IndianRed1 IndianRed2 Tan1 Tan4
)
)
- Some minor improvements have been made to the rules for formatting
some edge vertical alignment cases, usually involving two dissimilar lines.
