Release v3.0.0 · errata-ai/vale

The third major release of Vale introduces an updated StylesPath layout and support for a default configuration.

Updated `StylesPath`

The StylesPath now has a special config directory:

config
├── dictionaries
├── templates
├── ignore
└── vocabularies

dictionaries: Hunspell-compatible dictionaries to be loaded by Vale.Spelling. This offers an alternative means of customizing the spell-checking experience in Vale: instead of creating a new rule (e.g., YourStyle.Spelling), you extend the built-in Vale.Spelling with custom dictionaries. This will have the benefit of allowing multiple styles to all contribute to the same spelling rule (#628).
templates: Output templates.
ignore: Ignore files to be loaded by Vale.Spelling.
vocabularies: The same as the current Vocab folder; moved to match the new global configuration directories.

All of these directories will support being distributed as part of a package.

Vale now supports a default StylesPath and a default .vale.ini file. See the vale ls-dirs command for the exact locations on your system.

The default .vale.ini file is loaded in addition to any other config files -- allowing for local changes to project configurations.

When upgrading to v3.0.0, you'll need to move your vocabularies from $StylesPath/Vocab to $StylesPath/config/vocabularies.
