- Fixed debian #862667: failure to check for perltidy.ERR deletion can lead
to overwriting abritrary files by symlink attack. Perltidy was continuing
to write files after an unlink failure. Thanks to Don Armstrong
for a patch.
- Fixed RT #116344, perltidy fails on certain anonymous hash references:
in the following code snippet the '?' was misparsed as a pattern
delimiter rather than a ternary operator.
return ref {} ? 1 : 0;
- Fixed RT #113792: misparsing of a fat comma (=>) right after
the __END__ or __DATA__ tokens. These keywords were getting
incorrectly quoted by the following => operator.
- Fixed RT #118558. Custom Getopt::Long configuration breaks parsing
of perltidyrc. Perltidy was resetting the users configuration too soon.
- Fixed RT #119140, failure to parse double diamond operator. Code to
handle this new operator has been added.
- Fixed RT #120968. Fixed problem where -enc=utf8 didn't work
with --backup-and-modify-in-place. Thanks to Heinz Knutzen for this patch.
- Fixed minor formatting issue where one-line blocks for subs with signatures
were unnecesarily broken
- RT #32905, patch to fix utf-8 error when output was STDOUT.
- RT #79947, improved spacing of try/catch/finally blocks. Thanks to qsimpleq
for a patch.
- Fixed#114909, Anonymous subs with signatures and prototypes misparsed as
broken ternaries, in which a statement such as this was not being parsed
correctly:
return sub ( $fh, $out ) : prototype(*$) { ... }
- Implemented RT #113689, option to introduces spaces after an opening block
brace and before a closing block brace. Four new optional controls are
added. The first two define the minimum number of blank lines to be
inserted
-blao=i or --blank-lines-after-opening-block=i
-blbc=i or --blank-lines-before-closing-block=i
where i is an integer, the number of lines (the default is 0).
The second two define the types of blocks to which the first two apply
-blaol=s or --blank-lines-after-opening-block-list=s
-blbcl=s or --blank-lines-before-closing-block-list=s
where s is a string of possible block keywords (default is just 'sub',
meaning a named subroutine).
For more information please see the documentation.
- The method for specifying block types for certain input parameters has
been generalized to distinguish between normal named subroutines and
anonymous subs. The keyword for normal subroutines remains 'sub', and
the new keyword for anonymous subs is 'asub'.
- Minor documentation changes. The BUGS sections now have a link
to CPAN where most open bugs and issues can be reviewed and bug reports
can be submitted. The information in the AUTHOR and CREDITS sections of
the man pages have been removed from the man pages to streamline the
documentation. This information is still in the source code.
