## 2022 06 13
- No significant bugs have been found since the last release but users
of programs which call the Perl::Tidy module should note the first
item below, which changes a default setting. The main change to
existing formatting is the second item below, which adds vertical
alignment to 'use' statements.
- The flag --encode-output-strings, or -eos, is now set 'on' by default.
This has no effect on the use of the 'perltidy' binary script, but could
change the behavior of some programs which use the Perl::Tidy module on
files encoded in UTF-8. If any problems are noticed, an emergency fix
can be made by reverting to the old default by setting -neos. For
an explanation of why this change needs to be made see:
https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/issues/92
https://github.com/perltidy/perltidy/blob/master/docs/eos_flag.md
- Added vertical alignment for qw quotes and empty parens in 'use'
statements (see issue #git 93). This new alignment is 'on' by default
and will change formatting as shown below. If this is not wanted it can
be turned off with the parameter -vxl='q' (--valign-exclude-list='q').
# old default, or -vxl='q'
use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions);
use Fcntl qw(O_RDONLY O_WRONLY O_EXCL O_CREAT);
use Symbol qw(gensym);
use Exporter ();
# new default
use Getopt::Long qw(GetOptions);
use Fcntl qw(O_RDONLY O_WRONLY O_EXCL O_CREAT);
use Symbol qw(gensym);
use Exporter ();
- The parameter -kbb (--keep-break-before) now ignores a request to break
before an opening token, such as '('. Likewise, -kba (--keep-break-after)
now ignores a request to break after a closing token, such as ')'. This
change was made to avoid a rare instability discovered in random testing.
- Previously, if a -dsc command was used to delete all side comments,
then any special side comments for controlling non-indenting braces got
deleted too. Now, these control side comments are retained when -dsc is
set unless a -nnib (--nonon-indenting-braces) flag is also set to
deactivate them.
- This version runs about 10 percent faster on large files than the previous
release due to optimizations made with the help of Devel::NYTProf. Much
of the gain came from faster processing of blank tokens and comments.
- This version of perltidy was stress-tested for many cpu hours with
random input parameters. No failures to converge, internal fault checks,
undefined variable references or other irregularities were seen.
