- This release adds several new requested parameters. No significant bugs have
been found since the last release, but a number of minor problems have been
corrected.
- Added a new option '--code-skipping', requested in git #65, in which code
between comment lines '#<>V' is passed verbatim to the output
stream without error checking. It is simmilar to --format-skipping
but there is no error checking of the skipped code. This can be useful for
skipping past code which employs an extended syntax.
- Added a new option for closing paren placement, -vtc=3, requested in rt #136417.
- Added flag -atnl, --add-terminal-newline, to help issue git #58.
This flag tells perltidy to terminate the last line of the output stream
with a newline character, regardless of whether or not the input stream
was terminated with a newline character. This is the default.
If this flag is negated, with -natnl, then perltidy will add a terminal
newline character to the the output stream only if the input
stream is terminated with a newline.
- Some nested structures formatted with the -lp indentation option may have
some changes in indentation. This is due to updates which were made to
prevent formatting instability when line lengths are limited by the maximum line
length. Most scripts will not be affected. If this causes unwanted formatting
changes, try increasing the --maximum-line-length by a few characters.
- Numerous minor fixes have been made. A complete list is at:
