coala-bears 0.9.1

This bugfix release fixes the following issues:

  • TailorBear was not distributed correctly. (#1048)

coala-bears 0.9.0

This release, we had 40 different contributors, pushing almost 200 commits.

To get a quick overview over the current state of all bears, check out https://coala.io/languages. We added a number of asciinemas so you can see them in action right away.

Here are the important changes and additions, of course coala was upgraded to 0.9 so you can enjoy all it's new features and bugfixes:

New Bears:

Language Independent:

  • QuotesBear - Checks and corrects your quoting style for any language!
  • SpellCheckBear - Checks for english spelling mistakes in any source code.

Python:

  • MypyBear - Checks Python code for typing using Mypy!
  • BanditBear - Checks Python code for security issues.
  • PEP8NotebookBear - Autocorrects formatting for Python code in Jupyter Notebooks.
  • PySafetyBear - Checks for known security vulnerabilities of your Python requirements.
  • PinRequirementsBear - Checks if Python requirements are pinned precisely.
  • PycodestyleBear - Checks Python coding style with better error messages and reliability than PEP8Bear, however without automatic correction.

Others:

  • PHPCodeSnifferBear - Ensures that your PHP, JavaScript or CSS code remains clean and consistent.
  • Jinja2Bear - Detects and fixes formatting issues in Jinja2 templates.
  • RSTcheckBear - Checks reStructuredText for formatting and syntax.
  • PuppetLintBear - Checks and autocorrects puppet configuration files.
  • CSVLintBear - Checks syntax of CSV files.

Bears with New Settings:

You can look up the new settings at https://coala.io/languages.

  • InvalidLinkBear
  • GitCommitBear
  • YapfBear
  • SCSSLintBear

Deleted Settings:

  • CSecurityBear does not accept a neverignore setting anymore. Those kinds of issues are and should be consistently handled by coala.

Deprecated Settings:

  • The ignore_regex setting from InvalidLinkBear was deprecated in favour of link_ignore_regex for more clarity in coafiles.
  • KeywordBear accepts only one keywords argument. The ci_keywords and cs_keywords arguments have been deprecated.
  • JSHintBear provides an es_version argument that implies the use_es6_syntax argument. The latter has been deprecated in favour of the former.
  • JSHintBear provides a more flexible javascript_strictness argument instead of the allow_global_strict which has been deprecated.
  • RuboCopBear uses naming_convention instead of name_case now.

Other Bear Enhancements:

  • The coala-bears package does no longer require Java upon installation.
  • VultureBear picks up global dependencies.
  • ESLintBear shows errors as WARNING in coala. This simplifies debugging bad ESLint configurations.
  • KeywordBear can now automatically remove TODO comments for any language coala has Language definitions for.
  • FilenameBear supports the spacecase convention.
  • KeywordBear checks for todo and fixme by default.
  • GitCommitBear has improved result messages.
  • YAMLLintBear does not check for document-start by default. This was not a commonly chosen setting.
  • YapfBear will pass files in-memory to save precious IO time.

Major API Changes:

  • The bears testing modules were moved to the coalib and are deprecated.

Bug Fixes:

  • AnnotationBear yields a HiddenResult with an error message instead of raising an exception, when the desired language is not available.

  • AnnotationBear yields correct results for escaped strings. (#993)

  • AnnotationBear yields correct results for rare corner cases of multiline strings. (#1006)

  • An issue where LatexLintBear crashed has been resolved. (#317)

  • InvalidLinkBear parses links within backticks properly. It also ignores links with placeholders like %s and others.

  • InvalidLinkBear ignores FTP links. (#906)

  • DartLintBear emits an error when it cannot satisfy given settings. (#897)

  • CheckstyleBear emits an error when it cannot satisfy given settings. (#898)

  • CheckstyleBear: preset configurations google and sun are no longer downloaded. (#1034)

  • YAMLLintBear picks up the configuration properly. (#979)

  • JavaPMDBear works correctly on Mac now. (#998)

  • The dependencies of the following bears were bumped due to upstream bugfixes:

    • AlexBear
    • CPPCleanBear
    • ESLintBear

coala-bears 0.8.0

For this release, we have had 19 contributors from around the world contributing 176 commits to just coala-bears in the past 9 weeks.

Here are the important changes and additions:

New Bears

Major API Changes

  • Settings unification - most bears have seen API changes. Settings' names are now consistent across bears. This supports backwards compatibility, however (but with a deprecation notice). You can find the whole list here.

New Features

  • Bear upload tool - this is a part of the complete decentralization of bears. With this tool, bears are uploaded as individual packages to PyPI and just the necessary bears (and their dependencies) can be installed.
  • Also as a part of the decentralization process, several bears now have the REQUIREMENTS attribute. This is one of the requirement objects supporting various package managers such as apt-get, dnf, yum, pip, npm, gem, and so on. To learn more, please see the coala 0.8.0 release changelog.
  • Several bears now support the ASCIINEMA_URL attribute. This contains an URL to an asciinema video displaying the bear's working.

Bug Fixes

  • An issue in FilenameBear involving files with fully capitalized names has been resolved. Pull #687
  • Various corner cases with InvalidLinkBear involving some false positives and false negatives have been fixed. Issue #691

Documentation

  • A complete overhaul of the README page with a special emphasis on design and user-friendliness.

Regressions

  • Python 3.3 support was dropped.
