- This release is being made mainly because of the next item, in which an
error message about an uninitialized value error message could be produced
in certain cases when format-skipping is used. The error message was
annoying but harmless to formatting.
- Fixed an undefined variable message, see git #67. When a format skipping
comment '#<<' is placed before the first line of code in a script, a
message 'Use of uninitialized value $Ktoken_vars in numeric ...' can
occur.
- A warning will no longer be given if a script has an opening code-skipping
comment '#<>V'. This
makes code-skipping and format-skipping behave in a similar way: an
opening comment without a corresponding closing comment will cause
the rest of a file to be skipped. If there is a question about which lines
are skipped, a .LOG file can be produced with the -g flag and it will have
this information.
- Removed the limit on -ci=n when -xci is set, reference: rt #136415.
This update removes a limit in the previous two versions in which the
value of -ci=n was limited to the value of -i=n when -xci was set.
This limit had been placed to avoid some formatting instabilities,
but recent coding improvements allow the limit to be removed.
- The -wn and -bbxx=n flags were not working together correctly. This has
been fixed.
- This version may produce occasional differences in formatting compared to
previous versions, mainly for lines which are near the specified line
length limit. This is due to ongoing efforts to eliminate edge cases of
formatting instability.
- Numerous minor fixes have been made. A complete list is at:
