[1.094] Released on 2009-01-01
Incompatible Changes:
* The way that "## no critic" markers was refactored. As
a result, we discovered that the syntax for the markers was pretty
vague. If you didn't do it just right, it would disable all policies,
and not just the specific ones that you wanted. So we've tightened this
up a bit. If you followed the examples that have been in the docs for
the last couple years, then you should be fine. But if you've been
using certain other variations in your "## no critic" markers, then you
might suddenly find yourself violating the new
ProhibtUnrestrictedNoCritic policy. To fix this, just make sure your
Policy names appear in parentheses:
## no critic Foo, Bar, Baz # wrong!
## no critic Foo Bar Baz # wrong!
## no critic (Foo, Bar, Baz) # ok!
## no critic qw(Foo Bar Baz) # also ok!
* The deprecated $FORMAT variables for Perl::Critic::Policy and
Perl::Critic::Violation no longer exist. Use the corresponding
get_format() and set_format() functions instead.
New Policies:
* Miscellanea::ProhibitUnrestrictedNoCritic
* Miscellanea::ProhibitUselessNoCritic
* NamingConventions::Capitalization
* Subroutines::ProhibitReturnSort
* Variables::ProhibitReusedNames
Removed Policies:
* NamingConventions::ProhibitMixedCaseSubs and
NamingConventions::ProhibitMixedCaseVars have been moved to a separate
Perl-Critic-Deprecated distribution. The
NamingConventions::Capitalization policy does everything they do, plus
more.
Policy Changes:
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringyEval now has an allow_includes option
that makes it behave (mostly) like Ricardo SIGNES'
Perl::Critic::Policy::Lax::ProhibitStringyEval::ExceptForRequire.
* InputOutput::RequireCheckedClose, InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen, and
InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls now all support autodie.
Unfortunately, autodie is currently treated like a module and not a
pragma, which means that the lexical scoping is not taken into account.
* InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls now has an exclude_functions
parameter.
* Modules::ProhibitEvilModules now allows you to specify what the
description of a use of a bad module should be, to, say, suggest that
people use autodie instead of Fatal.
* Subroutine::ProhibitExcessComplexity violation descriptions now include
the name of the subroutine, thanks to Andreas Koenig, RT #40070.
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict and
TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings now have equivalent_modules
parameters that allow you to designate other modules as being equivalent
to the strict and warnings pragmata. This one is for all you Moose fans
out there. :]
Bug Fixes:
* ControlStructures::ProhibitUnreachableCode would treat package
statements as unreachable. Fixed by Kevin Ryde. RT #41734
* Fix warning from InputOutput::ProhibitOneArgSelect when select was
called with no arguments. RT #41926
* Miscellanea::RequireRcsKeywords couldn't find keywords after __END__
that didn't look like part of POD.
* Modules::RequireFilenameMatchesPackage would incorrectly complain about
programs. Yet more greatness contributed by Schwern. RT #39024.
* If a perlcriticrc file referred to a policy that wasn't installed and
the profile-strictness option was set to "fatal",
Perl::Critic::PolicyFactory fell over instead of reporting the
problematic policy name.
Miscellanea:
* Perl::Critic::Violation will automatically strip trailing periods
from your Policy description and explanation strings. This ensures that
the punctuation is consistent with the format specified by the user via
the -verbose formatting options.
New Developer Features:
* Perl::Critic::Policy::prepare_to_scan_document() is now checked and a
Policy can disable itself for just a single document, which can speed
things up.
[1.093_03] Released on 2008-12-11
[1.093_02] Released on 2008-10-30
[1.093_01] Released on 2008-09-07
Changes summarized into 1.094 above. For exact details, see Changes in
1.093_003 on BackPAN.
[1.092] Released on 2008-09-02
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed POD errors that were causing build failures. Sorry
about that.
[1.091] Released on 2008-09-01
New Policies:
* RegularExpressions::RequireDotMatchAnything
New Features:
* perlcritic now supports a -pager option, so you can more easily
send the output to your favorite pager. You can set this option
on the command-line or in your .perlcriticrc file. See the
perlcritic perldoc for more details. Credit to Michael Schwern.
* The output from "perlcritic -doc PATTERN" will be automatically
sent to your pager if you have set the -pager option.
Policy Changes:
* CodeLayout::ProhibitQuotedWordLists no longer applies if the list
contains any non-words, by default. A non-word is anything that does
not match /[\w-]+/. You can restore the former behavior by setting the
"strict" option. RT #37886.
* CodeLayout::ProhibitQuotedWordLists also now applies to the import
arguments of a C<use> statement. RT #24467.
* ErrorHandling::RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval now recognizes ternary
left-sides as valid checks.
* RegularExpressions::RequireExtendedFormatting gains a
minimum_regex_length_to_complain_about option. Also, regexes that
contain only word and whitespace characters are now exempt from this
policy, by default; you can make it complain about them by turning on
the new strict option. Contributed by Michael Schwern. RT #38531.
* TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitNoWarnings now supports a
allow_with_category_restriction option, thanks to Michael Schwern.
RT #38514.
* CodeLayout::ProhibitHardTabs now allows leading tabs in qw() word lists
and regexes with the /x modifier. You can still configure this
policy to forbid all hard tabs, if you like. RT #32440
Bug Fixes:
* perlcritic should now work under PAR. RT #38380.
* URL for our repository in META.yml now works for anonymous
checkout. The password is "" (empty). RT #38628.
* color for high-severity violations is now magenta because
it is more redable than yellow on white backgrounds. RT #38511.
[1.090] Released on 2008-07-22
Bug Fixes:
* Test was incorrectly failing when Regexp::Parser wasn't installed.
[1.089] Released on 2008-07-21
Minor Enhancements:
* -s is now a synonym for --single-policy.
Policy Changes:
* Subroutines::ProhibitBuiltinHomonyms now also prohibits subroutines
with the same name as a Perl keyword (e.g. if, foreach, while).
Inspired by RT #37632.
* Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs now allows expressions like
"shift->_some_private_method();". Note that this *only* applies
to the "shift" function -- a private method call on the right of any
other bareword still causes a violation. RT #34713.
* Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn now includes exec in the set of things
that mark a successful return. RT #37672
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitInterpolationOfLiterals now takes a
allow_if_string_contains_single_quote option. Contributed by Ed
Avis <ed@membled.com>. RT #36125.
* ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars now supports a
rcs_keywords option to allow for the common case where those require
dollar signs.
Bug Fixes:
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitSleepViaSelect would complain if there were
three undefs as arguments to select(), but one of them was the timeout.
RT #37416.
* Reduced false positives in
RegularExpressions::ProhibitSingleCharAlternation. Thanks to
Andy Lester and Elliot Shank test cases.
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture would complain if there were
multiple captures used in a substitution, e.g. s/(.)(.)/$2$1/.
* Subroutines::ProhibitAmpersandSigils no longer complains about
"sort &foo(...)".
* Makefile.PL, Build.PL and other ".PL" scripts which typically do not
have a shebang are no longer mistaken as modules. This prevents
spurious warnings from Modules::RequireEndWithOne. RT #20481.
Internals:
* Tests are now self compliant.
[1.088] Released on 2008-07-04
New Policies
* ErrorHandling::RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval
Policy Changes:
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLeadingZeros now accepts octal numbers
for the Unix permissions argument to chmod, dbmopen, mkdir, sysopen, or
umask, by default. Use the "strict" option to get the old behavior.
RT #31977.
* Due to the consensus at YAPC::NA 2008,
Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables default severity has been raised to
medium/3.
Minor Changes:
* The perlcritic "--Version" option is now "--version" in order to act
like the rest of the world.
[1.087] Released on 2008-06-21
Policy Changes:
* CodeLayout::ProhibitParensWithBuiltins no longer complains about
sort(foo(@x)).
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings will not complain about files
that contain a "use 5.005" statement or similar for perls prior to 5.6.
Lesson of the day: computer conferences where you can meet in the real
world can clarify conversations greatly. Good to finally meet you Adam.
* InputOutput::ProhibitTwoArgOpen similarly will not complain if there's
a "use/require 5.005" statement in the file. RT #34385.
Bug fixes:
* Perl::Critic can now critique a file named "0". However, PPI will give
a parse error until the next version comes out. Fixes RT #36127.
* Moved detection of the lack of any enabled Policies from P::C::Config
to Perl::Critic. This was causing the perlcritic.t in Parrot to fail.
Note, however, there are plans afoot to change how Perl::Critic is
configured and things that depend upon that may break. Please contact
users@perlcritic.tigris.org and tell us how you're using P::C::Config
directly so that we can take your needs into account.
[1.086] Released on 2008-06-12
Policy Changes:
* NamingConventions::ProhibitAmbiguousNames now specifies the name that
it had problems with in its violation descriptions.
Bug fixes:
* The color option wasn't being correctly set from a .perlcriticrc.
RT #36569.
Minor changes:
* --colour is now a synonym for --color.
[1.085] Released on 2008-06-07
New Policies:
* Documentation::RequirePackageMatchesPodName
Policy Changes:
* Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables detects a few more cases. It's
still very limited, though.
Bug fixes:
* ControlStructures::ProhibitUnreachableCode didn't notice "until" was an
conditional expression.
Minor documentation updates.
[1.084] Released on 2008-05-24
New Features:
* perlcritic now supports a --list-themes option.
* You can specify the maximum number of violations you want per Policy
per document. Developers can give a default value for this for a
Policy by overriding default_maximum_violations_per_document().
See RequireUseStrict and ProhibitMagicNumbers for examples.
Policy Moved:
* The ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMagicNumbers policy has been moved
from Perl::Critic::More into the primary Perl::Critic distribution.
New Policies:
* Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables (very dumb, limited initial
implementation.)
* ControlStructures::ProhibitLabelsWithSpecialBlockNames
Contributed by Mike O'Regan. Kickin' ass, Mike.
Policy Changes:
* ControlStructures::ProhibitUnreachableCode now handles the perl 5.10
"//" and "err" operators. RT #36080
* InputOutput::RequireBriefOpen now ignores opens of STDIN, STDOUT,
and STDERR. You're generally trying to make long-lasting global
effects when manipulating these. (RT #35774)
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters now supports an
"allow_all_brackets" option.
* RegularExpressions::RequireBracesForMultiline now supports an
"allow_all_brackets" option.
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict now accepts "use Moose::Role"
as equivalent to "use strict". (RT #34838)
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings now accepts "use Moose::Role"
as equivalent to "use warnings". (RT #34838)
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMagicNumbers now accepts constant
subroutines.
* Variables::ProhibitMatchVars no longer detects "use English;".
This problem is detected in a more clear way by
Modules::RequireNoMatchVarsWithUseEnglish.
* Variables::ProhibitPerl4PackageNames no longer complains about
$'/$POSTMATCH. RT #36059
* Variables::RequireLocalizedPunctuationVars now allows the use of "my".
RT #33937
Bug Fixes:
* No longer falls over if a single file has a parse error.
New Developer Features:
* If a document specifies a minimum perl version, e.g. "use 5.008003",
P::C::Document::highest_explicit_perl_version() will tell you what it
is.
* The parameter to P::C::Policy::initialize_if_enabled is now a
P::C::PolicyConfig object instead of a hash reference.
Minor Changes:
* LOTS of documentation updates.
* A few more statistics are emitted by perlcritic with the --statistics
option.
* perlcritic --profile-proto now includes policy abstracts in its
output.
Prerequisites:
* Now depends upon PPI 1.203.
* New dependency upon version.

Changes summarized into 1.084 above. For exact details, see Changes in
1.083_006 on BackPAN.
[1.082] Released on 2008-03-08
New Features:
* A new metadata system for defining policy parameters/options has been
added. This makes the life of policy authors easier because
configuration validation and parsing can be taken care of
automatically, in most cases. This allows greater integration with
IDEs and allows the perlcritic "--profile-proto" option to produce
better output.
Note: This change does NOT REQUIRE ANY CHANGES to policies outside of
this distribution; they should continue to work as is. However, use
of this facility can reduce the size of your code and provide the
means for tools to discover more about your policy. If this change
does break any of your policies, please let us know.
To learn how to take advantage of this facility, read
Perl::Critic::DEVELOPER and look at the source of any of the
configurable policies included in this distribution.
There is a discussion of the design considerations for this facility in
the source repository under doc/PolicyParameter_Notes.pod.
* Added support for "criticism-fatal" option in your perlcriticrc
file. This will be used by the criticism pragma to cause execution
to abort if the file contains any violations.
New Policy:
* Module::RequireNoMatchVarsWithUseEnglish
Policy Changes:
* Added an allow_last_statement_to_be_comma_separated_in_map_and_grep
option to ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements.
Partial response to http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27654.
* ControlStructures::ProhibitPostfixControls gains the ability to have
the flow control statements allowed to be modified. This in response
to RT #29540.
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict now accepts "use Moose" as
equivalent to "use strict".
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseWarnings now accepts "use Moose" as
equivalent to "use warnings".
Bug Fixes:
* RT #31281 perlcritic doesn't recognize "#!/bin/env perl" shebang
* Replace usage of Unicode property escapes with POSIX character classes
order to restore 5.6 compatability.
* RT #30388 ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitVersionStrings complained
about numbered directories in "use lib".
* Fixed handling of badly behaved spelling programs in PodSpelling.

Changes summarized into 1.082 above. For exact details, see Changes in
1.081_006 on BackPAN.
[1.080] Released on 2007-11-11
New Features:
* Allow a "## no critic" statement after a shebang on line 1 of a
file. This allows users to block violations that apply to
whole files and still allow shebangs.
New Policies: (funded by a Perl Foundation grant)
* InputOutput::ProhibitExplicitStdin
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitFixedStringMatches
* RegularExpressions::RequireBracesForMultiline
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusualDelimiters
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitComplexRegexes
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitSingleCharAlternation
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitEscapedMetacharacters
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitEnumeratedClasses
* InputOutput::RequireBriefOpen
* InputOutput::RequireCheckedSyscalls
Other New Policies
* ControlStructures::ProhibitNegativeExpressionsInUnlessAndUntilConditions
Policy Changes:
* Variables::ProhibitConditionalDeclarations now permits you to local-ize
variables in conditional declarations. This makes sense, since
C<local> is actually a variable modifier, rather than a declaration.
Thanks to David Golden for reporting this.
New Developer Features:
* Perl::Critic::Utils::PPIRegexp encapsulates interaction with
the PPI Regexp token classes. Those classes have very sparse
APIs, so this package hides away the ugly fiddling with PPI
internals.
* Added a new optional_modules parameter for the .run syntax.
Bug fixes:
* PPI::Structure::List can now contain multiple children,
so P::C::Utils::parse_arg_list() needs to handle it.
This was done in the process of fixing
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24924, which was a problem
with TestingAndDebugging::RequireTestLabels.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLongChainsOfMethodCalls wasn't resetting
chain length when it ran into the end of a sub-expression.
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=30040
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements was reporting
false positives when builtins which accept both no and multiple
arguments were involved.
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=27654
Internals:
* Removed all use of Carp in favor of exceptions.
Prerequisites:
* Now requires PPI 1.201. A number of workarounds for PPI bugs have been
removed.
* New dependency upon Exception::Class.
Installation:
* Use Devel::CheckOS to see whether Perl::Critic is being installed on
a Solaris system and warn about tar(1) chopping file names off if it
is.
[1.079_003] Released on 2007-10-22
[1.079_002] Released on 2007-10-21
[1.079_001] Released on 2007-10-09
Changes summarized into 1.080 above. For exact details, see Changes in
1.079_003 on BackPAN.
[1.078] Released on 2007-09-19
Restore Perl::Critic::TestUtils::should_skip_author_tests() and
get_author_test_skip_message(). Some Perl::Critic add-on distributions
are using them.
[1.077] Released on 2007-09-15
Note: if you don't have any problems installing Perl::Critic 1.076, there
is no need to upgrade to this version. There are no functionality
changes. This release only contains changes related to installation that
a few people were experiencing.
Minor changes:
* Removed build-time use of Readonly, again, due to problems some people
were having when trying to compile the code by hand, rather than using
CPAN(PLUS)?.
* Don't run author tests if there's a .svn directory present because
users who grabbed the code from the source repository were executing
them and getting failures.
* Don't generate optional, module-hiding test wrappers if author tests
are not enabled.
[1.076] Released on 2007-09-07
It appears from reports on the 1.075_001 release that the subroutine
sigils were indeed the problem. Release to the general populace.
[1.075_001] Released on 2007-09-06
Bug Fixes:
Undo the changes in 1.073 and 1.074. Instead, stop using the subroutine
sigil in import and export lists. It is suspected that the problem lies
with Exporter stripping off ampersands.
[1.074] Released on 2007-09-04
Bug Fixes:
Repeat the Makefile.PL change on
t/generate_without_optional_dependencies_wrappers.PL.
I love CPAN Testers.
[1.073] Released on 2007-09-04
Bug Fixes:
Work around problems with the combination of Exporter & Readonly in
Makefile.PL on some machines.
[1.072] Released on 2007-09-03
Bug Fixes:
* The Makefile generated by Makefile.PL was not syntactically correct
according to some versions of Solaris. Thanks to Diab Jerius
(DJERIUS) for discovery and testing.
* Fixed mis-definition of "quiet" value for the "--profile-strictness"
option.
* Enhanced testing with the absence of optional modules.
[1.071] Released on 2007-08-24
The "Brown Paper Bag" Release
Bug Fixes:
* Tests would not pass in environments that did not have all optional
dependencies installed.
[1.07] Released on 2007-08-21
New Policies: (funded by a Perl Foundation grant)
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitBooleanGrep
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitComplexMappings
* Documentation::PodSpelling
* InputOutput::ProhibitJoinedReadline
* Subroutines::ProhibitManyArgs
* Subroutines::RequireArgUnpacking
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitImplicitNewlines
* Variables::RequireLocalizedPunctuationVars
Other New Policies
* Subroutines::ProhibitNestedSubs
New Features:
* The "perlcritic --profile-proto" output now includes the "add_themes"
parameter for each policy.
* The perlcritic "--strict-profile" option has been replaced with a
"--profile-strictness" option. This new option takes values of "warn"
(the default), "fatal", and "quiet", which controls what happens with
ignorable problems in a .perlcriticrc file.
New Developer Features:
* Perl::Critic::Policy now has an overridable initialize_if_enabled()
method which allows a Policy to perform expensive initialization after
it has been determined whether the user has it enabled or not. Also,
this method allows a Policy to say that it should be disabled
regardless of what the user says.
Actually, use of this method is now encouraged over using a
constructor.
Other Stuff:
* Now requires the Readonly module in order to be more self-compliant.
[1.061] Released on 2007-07-24
Bug Fixes:
* Fix P::C::Theme-- Exporter in Perl 5.6 does not export import(), so you
must subclass it. *sigh*
* Fix P::C::Config::_validate_and_save_theme()-- eval of an empty string
does not reset $@/$EVAL_ERROR in Perl 5.6.
Big thanks to Anirvan Chatterjee for identifying and helping debug these
issues.
[1.06] Released on 2007-06-27
New Features:
* perlcritic now emits errors for all the problems it can find for the
global options in the command-line parameters and .perlcriticrc file,
rather than bailing on the first one it encounters.
* perlcritic now has a "--strict-profile" option which will make warnings
about problems in a profile fatal.
* perlcritic now has a "--statistics-only" option which suppresses the
display of individual violations and only shows the additional output
produced by the "--statistics" option.
Feature requests:
* A value for "color" can now be specified in a .perlcriticrc.
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24877
New Policies:
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitQuotesAsQuotelikeOperatorDelimiters
As suggested in http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=23290.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitLongChainsOfMethodCalls
* Modules::ProhibitExcessMainComplexity
As suggested in http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=24699
Minor changes:
* The perlcritic "--profile-proto" option now emits the short names for
policies, rather than the full ones.
* The "-profileproto" and "-singlepolicy" options have been renamed to
"-profile-proto" and "-single-policy" in order to make the growing
number of command-line options comprehensible. The change of
"singlepolicy" also affects your F<.perlcriticrc> file.
[1.053] Released on 2007-06-02
*DEVELOPMENT RELEASE*
Bug Fixes:
Fixed bug in 15_statustics.t test script, which caused the build
to fail on machines that don't have Perl::Tidy installed.
[1.052] Released on 2007-06-01
*DEVELOPMENT RELEASE*
New Features:
* perlcritic now emits a summary about the scanned code when enabled by
the "-statistics" option.
Policy Enhancements:
* InputOutput::ProhibitBacktickOperators can now be configured to only
check in void contexts.
Bug Fixes:
* 27073: False positive in RequireUpperCaseHeredocTerminator
* 27065: CodeLayout::ProhibitTrailingWhitespace breaks under Perl 5.6.1
* 26462: ControlStructures::ProhibitCascadingIfElse pod typo
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements was complaining
about multiple values in the list to be iterated over by a foreach loop.
* Corrected PBP page numbers for some policies (Quinn Weaver).
[1.051] Released on 2007-04-12
*DEVELOPMENT RELEASE*
No new policies.
No particular bug fixes.
Internals:
* Added several new utility functions to support the StricterSubs distro.
Also, some of the existing functions in Perl-Critic-Utils have
changed in ways that might break your custom policies.
Miscellanea:
* Updated Emacs plugin (Courtesy Josh ben Jore).
See extras/perlcritic.el for details.
* Added copy of BBEdit plugin (Courtesy of Josh Clark).
See extras/perl_critic_for_bbedit-1_0.zip for details
[1.05] Released on 2007-03-19
Bug Fixes:
* 25557: t/20_policy_prohibittrailingwhitespace.t fails on Perl 5.8.0
[1.04] Released on 2007-03-18
Bug Fixes:
* 25008: Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn should allow "throw"
* 25085: False Positive - Heredoc terminator must be quoted
* 18423: VERSION check does not notice Readonly::Scalar version
* 25449: Proposal of $VERSION declaration (DUPLICATE)
New Policies:
* CodeLayout::ProhibitTrailingWhitespace
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements
* Variables::ProhibitPerl4PackageNames
Policy Enhancements:
* Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn can now be configured to recognize
your custom functions that behave like "die" or "exit".
* Documentation::RequirePodSections can be configured to match
Module::Starter:PBP or to really match the PBP book.
[1.03] Released on 2007-02-13
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed a few more problems with the %f, %F, and %r format escapes.
* I forgot to put Conway's perlcriticrc file in the MANIFEST. Sorry.
Interface Changes:
* Perl::Critic::Utils automatically exports everything. However,
this is deprecated. In the future, you must request your exports.
Policy Changes:
* Duplicate violations of RequireExcplicitPackage are now squelched,
in the same way as RequireUseStrict and RequireUseWarnings.
[1.02] Released on 2007-02-11
Bug Fixes:
* "undef" incorrectly triggered ProhibitMutatingListFunctions.
* 24876: %f and %F escapes not working in custom "verbose" format strings.
* 24875: Documentation bug in TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitNoStrict
New Policies:
* InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen
* InputOutput::RequireCheckedClose
Other Cool Stuff:
* Added Conway's own suggested Perl::Critic configuration as
examples/perlcriticrc-conway.
* See the examples/ directory for some neat demonstrations of using
the Perl::Critic API. Contributed by Elliot Shank.
Interface Changes:
* Perl::Critic::Utils no longer exports anything by default. Policies
outside the distribution will need to specify what exactly they need
from this module. There are a number of tags that can be used in
addition to individual imports.
[1.01] Released on 2007-01-24
PRODUCTION RELEASE: You may now consider the public Perl::Critic
API as "stable." Future minor releases will focus on bug fixes,
new policies, and internal refactoring.
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed memory leak. This was reported by the Parrot team at
http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=41230
[0.23] Released on 2007-01-19
Bug Fixes:
* 23994: Test 56 in t/05_utils.t of Perl::Critic v0.22 fails
* 24005: test 95 in t/13_bundled_policies fails in 0.22
Groovy New Features:
* Added '%F' to the Violation format specifications. This will
give you just the name of file where the violation occurred
(i.e. without the path).
* Improved validation of .perlcriticrc file. An invalid
default setting will now cause a fatal exception. A
strange-looking policy name will cause a warning.
Interface Changes:
* The syntax for theme expressions has changed. Instead of using
mathematical operators qw(+ * -) you must now use the logical
operators qw(|| && !). See the Perl::Critic docs for more info.
* The @GLOBALS and @BUILTINS variables are no longer exported by
Perl::Critic::Utils. Use the is_perl_global() and is_perl_builtin()
functions instead.
* Perl::Critic::Policy::policy_parameters() has bee renamed to
Perl::Critic::Policy::supported_paramters(). This was an
undocumented feature anyway, so it shouldn't affect anyone.
Other Internal Changes:
* Perl::Critic now requires B::Keywords v1.05 or newer.
* A few internal classes have been refactored. As a result,
Set::Scalar is no longer a required dependency.
[0.22] Released on 2006-12-15
New Features:
* Introduced named severity levels: gentle, stern, harsh, cruel, brutal
You can use these named levels instead of the numeric ones.
For example: "perlcritic --severity=cruel MyModule.pm"
Or just: "perlcritic --cruel MyModule.pm"
* For perlcritic, the "-List" option has been renamed to
"-profileproto". The output now includes the names of the
parameters that each Policy supports, if any.
* Improved validation of Policy parameters in your F<.perlcriticrc>
Any invalid parameter now causes a fatal exception.
Major Changes:
* Reassigned themes for most policies. Now there are fewer
themes and they are organized around programming concepts
instead of severity levels. If you have assigned your own
themes to any Policies, they should still work as expected.
Policy Changes:
* ErrorHandling::RequireCarping will not complain if it can figure
out that the die or warn message will always end in a newline
("\n"). The idea is that, if you put the newline there, you
don't indend for there to be any file/line/stack information
emitted, in which case you really don't want carp/croak.
You can restore the old strict behavior by giving the policy
a false value for "allow_messages_ending_with_newlines" in your
configuration.
Misc Changes:
Added single-letter uppercase alternatives for some perlcritic options.
[0.21_01] Released on 2006-12-03
New Policies:
* TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitProlongedStrictureOverride
* ControlStructures::ProhibitMutatingListFunctions
New Features:
* Say "perlcritic -List" to get an expanded listing of all Policies.
The format is suitable for use as your .perlcriticrc file.
* Say "perlcritic -doc PATTERN" to get the documentation for all
Policies that match m/PATTERN/imx. This is a little easier than
typing in the full name of the Policy module with "perldoc".
* Say "perlcritic --singlepolicy PATTERN" to use one and only one
policy.
* Can now specify exceptions to Variables::ProhibitPackageVars,
for packages like File::Find that only interface through
package variables.
Bug Fixes:
* 21713 false positive for parens used with substr and unpack.
* 22890 allow Rcs keywords in POD.
Internals:
* Testing system overhauled. Details on the Policy/subtest
framework is in t/run.t.
* Added Perl::Critic::Utils::words_from_string. This is safer
than plain old C<split /\s+/>.
[0.21] Released on 2006-11-05
New Policies:
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitReverseSortBlock
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitVoidGrep
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitVoidMap
* CodeLayout::RequireConsistentNewlines
* Modules::RequireFilenameMatchesPackage
* TestingAndDebugging::RequireTestLabels
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMismatchedOperators
New Features:
* Introduced policy "themes." Themes are arbitrary names that can
be used to identify a group of related Policies. You can select
your favorite policies by combining themes in a mathematic expression
such as "pbp * (danger + risky)". See POD for details.
* perlcritic output is colorized if you have Term::ANSIColor. This
only works on non-Win32 platforms. Use -nocolor switch to disable.
* Say "perlcritic -count" to get just the the total number of
violations per file. Use this feature to quickly identify hot-spots.
* Use the -only switch to choose only from policies mentioned in your
.perlcriticrc file. This is useful if you usually only want to
work with a small subset of the policies.
* Default values for most of the perlcritic and Perl::Critic options
can now be defined in your .perlcriticrc file. See POD for details.
Bug Fixes:
* 21236: wrong page number for "printing to filehandles"
* 21916: File handle ... wrong page reference in PBP [DUPE]
* 21714: false positive for capture var used in ternary condition
* 21718: No skip for File::Slurp in includes.t
* ProhibitBarewordFilehandles doesn't complain if you open
STDIN, STDOUT or STDERR.
* Parrot 40564: Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn should allow die,
exit, etc.
* Each "for" and "foreach" loop now adds one point to the McCabe
complexity score.
Other Stuff:
* The internals of Perl::Critic have been significantly refactored,
but should still be compatible with existing third-party Policies.
* Added author-only tests to the release, but disabled by default
* New Perl::Critic::Utils::shebang_line() method
* Support for filename-based policies
* Additional prerequisite: Set::Scalar
* Now requires PPI version 1.118
[0.20] Released on 2006-09-10
Perl::Critic now requires PPI version 1.117, which fixes
several bugs that were introduced in version 1.116.
Bug Fixes:
* 21079: grep clears @SITE_POLICIES
* 21352: Test failures with PPI 1.117
* 11365: sub DESTROY detected as a builtin homonym
[0.19] Released on 2006-08-20
New Policies:
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringySplit
* ControlStructures::ProhibitDeepNests
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitCaptureWithoutTest
* Variables::RequireLexicalLoopIterator
New Features:
* "perlcritic -quiet" suppresses the "source OK" message.
* Variables::ProhibitPunctuationVars is now configurable.
Bug Fixes:
* 20965: "Hard tabs used at" shouldn't check __DATA__
* 21070: ProhibitNoisyQuotes hates overload
* Punctuation variables are now exempt from ProhibitLocalVars
Other Stuff:
* Test coverage is now over 95%
[0.18_01] Released on 2006-08-06
New Policies:
* Variables::RequireNegativeIndices
* InputOutput::ProhibitInteractiveTest
* ErrorHandling::RequireCarping
Bug Fixes:
* RequireTidyCode tests fail if user has custom .perltidyrc file
* 20612: RequirePerlTidy was ignoring HEREDOCs
* 20659: __END__ statement considered "unreachable"
* Fix for PPI::XS (no C<use overload '""'> support)
* Support for 'goto' in ProhibitAmpersandSigils and
Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn
Performance Enhancements:
* Introduced Perl::Critic::Document class. This is a facade for
PPI::Document which internally caches search results. This
reduces the running time by about 35%. The facade should be
invisible, unless you are doing something really sneaky.
* Extraction of the 'diagnostics' information is postponed
until it is really needed. Speedup has not been measured.
* Calls to helper-subs have been reordered for maximum efficiency.
Other Cool Stuff:
* Includes updated version of perlcritic mode for emacs. See
"extras/perlcritic.el" for details.
[0.18] Released on 2006-07-16
Bug Fixes:
* 14855: Home discovery is dangerously naive.
* 20060: Incorrect page numbers in ProhibitLeadingZeros
and RequireNumberSeparator policies.
* 20068: .perlrc file - inconsistent documentation
* 20254: "use vars qw(@EXPORT_OK)" not recognized
* 20463: No-case heredoc terminator incorrectly detected as lower case.
* ProhibitOneArgBless doesn't understand "bless {} => $class;"
* ProhibitExcessComplexity doesn't count 'while' and 'until' stmnts
* ProhibitLeadingZeros was falsely hits '.0456'
Enhancements:
* If File::HomeDir is available, we use it to locate the
.perlcriticrc file. This should help make Perl::Critic
more portable to Win32 platforms. If File::HomeDir is
not installed, we resort to looking at the usual
environment variables.
Other Stuff:
* Added "perlcritic.el", which is a super-cool emacs minor-mode
that runs perl-critic on the current buffer and returns the
results in a sexy hot-linked "compiler" window. You can run
it on demand, or have it run automatically every time you
save the buffer. You can find this in the extras/ directory.
Thanks to Josh ben Jore for contributing this.
* Moved "Perl::Critic::TestUtils" into the installed build. This
module is only used for unit-testing Perl::Critic, but we
are putting it in the installation so folks who want to
extend Perl::Critic can make use of it.
[0.17] Released on 2006-06-13
Bug Fixes:
* 19836: Perl-Critic0.16 fails tests during install. This was
caused by a bug in version 3.01 of Module::Pluggable. See
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=19857 for details.
* Fixed bug in no-critic pragma parser.
New Policies:
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitEscapedCharacters
* BuiltinFunctions::RequireSimpleSortBlock
Enhancements:
* Perl::Critic can export critique() as a static function. This
may appeal to folks who dislike the object-oriented interface.
[0.16] Released on 2006-05-14
Enhancements:
* Perl::Critic->critique() now accepts a PPI::Document as the
argument. This feature creates an additional dependency on
Scalar::Util, but that shouldn't be a problem because it is
included with List::Util, which we already use.
Miscellanea:
* Increased PPI dependency from v1.110 to v1.112
[0.15_03] Released on 2006-05-07
Bug Fixes:
* The "## no critic" feature is now implemented without eval-ing
the code. This keeps Perl::Critic pure and safe :)
* 19082: Page number for AUTOLOAD is incorrect
New Policies:
* ControlStructures::ProhibitUnreachableCode (by Peter Guzis)
* Modules::ProhibitAutomaticExportation
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitVersionStrings
[0.15_02] Released on 2006-04-26
Bug Fixes:
* Reimplemented the '##no critic' pragmas to have effect on the
line where the violation is reported, not on the line where
the candidate element lives. This is because some policies
may report violations that are nowhere near the element that
is being evaluated.
* RequireUseStrict, RequireUseWarnings, and RequireExplcitPackage
all emit violations for _every_ statement that violates the
Policy. This closes a loophole that allowed you to circumvent
the Policy by using '## no critic' on just the first statement
that violated the policy.
* Fixed the workaround for the magic shebang that is inserted
by EU::MM and M::B. This had stopped working around version 13.
* Fixed -noprofile option on 'perlcritic'. This also had stopped
working at some point.
[0.15_01] Released on 2006-04-16
Enhancements:
* Added diagnostic messages if the .perlcriticrc contains entries
for Policy modules that don't seem to exist.
* Now you can specify which policies to disable with the
"## no critic" pseudo-pragmas. This feature is still
experimental. See docs for details.
* perlcritic's directory searching now skips backup files, such
as *.swp, *.bak and *~. It also ignores version control system
directories, and the blib directory in module build directories.
Bug Fixes:
* 18386: Bad example in POD for Documentation::RequirePodSections
* 18670: Test failure if Perl::Tidy is not installed
* 18698: Policy idea ProhibitUniversalFunctions (see New Policies)
* RequireInterpolationOfMetachars falsely hit strings like 'foo=s@'
which are commonly used with Getopt::Long.
New Policies:
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitUniversalCan (by Chris Dolan)
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitUniversalIsa (by Chris Dolan)
Miscellanea:
* All spurrious options for `perlcritic` are now fatal.
* Changed several of the -verbose formats to be more readable.
* Explicit -severity option now overrides -[12345] shortcuts instead
of being the other way around.
[0.15] Released on 2006-03-26
Bug Fixes:
* 17964: Insists my code is not tidy (may not be fixed for all cases)
[0.14_02] Released on 2006-03-19
Bug Fixes:
* 15653: False positive in OneArgSelect (fixed for real this time)
New Policies:
* ClassHierarchies::ProhibitAutoloading
* Documentation::RequirePodSections
* InputOutput::RequireBracedFileHandleWithPrint
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMixedBooleanOperators
* Variables::RequireInitializationForLocalVars
[0.14_01] Released on 2006-03-05
Bug Fixes:
* 14731: False positive: Builtin function called with parens
* 17554: False positive in CodeLayout::RequireTrailingCommas
New Policies:
* ClassHierarchies::ProhibitExplicitISA
* InputOutput::ProhibitReadlineInForLoop
* Miscellanea::ProhibitFormats
* Miscellanea::ProhibitTies
* Variables::ProhibitConditionalDeclarations
[0.14] Released on 2006-01-29
More documentation edits.
New Policies:
* Documentation::RequirePodAtEnd
* Subroutines::ProtectPrivateSubs
* Variables::ProhibitMatchVars
* Variables::ProtectPrivateVars
Bug Fixes:
* 15295: "## no critic" pragmas too aggresive on compound statements.
* t/01_config.t failed in the presence of third-party policies
[0.13_05] Not released
More documentation edits.
Implemented workaround for failing pod_coverage tests.
Bug Fixes:
* 16906: tr/// created false-postives with RegularExpression polices.
[0.13_04] Released on 2005-12-31
Moved DEVELOPER.pod file into the Perl/Critic dir.
More documentation edits.
[0.13_03] Released on 20051230
perlcritic now prints 'source OK' if it doesn't find any
violations. This gives folks a warm fuzzy feeling.
Tweaked some test cases that were failing on my Solaris
environment at work.
[0.13_02] Released on 2005-12-29
Fixed Config to recognize fully-qualified module names in the
.perlcriticrc file.
Various documentation edits.
[0.13_01] Released on 2005-12-28
Replaced 'priority' concept with 'severity'. Now each Policy module
has a predefined severity level ranging from 1 to 5. By default,
perlcritic only reports the most severe violations. You can adjust
the severity threshold at the command line, and you can change
the severity for any Policy using the config file.
Chris implemented the applies_to() mechanism, which allows each Policy
class to declare the types of PPI elements that it wants to examine.
When traversing the document, Perl::Critic invokes the Policy only
for elements that are of the correct type. This improves performance
by about 33%.
Perl::Critic now uses a Plugin architecture to automatically
discover Policy modules. So if you have custom Policies, all you
have to do is install them in the Perl::Critic::Policy namespace --
no need to add anything to your .perlcriticrc file. If you write
policies in a different namespace, you can configure that too. See
the Perl::Critic::Config docs for details.
New Policies:
* Modules::RequireEndWithOne
* NamingConventions::ProhibitAmbiguousNames
* References::ProhibitDoubleSigils
* Subroutines::RequireFinalReturn
* Subroutines::ProhibitAmpersandSigils
* Subroutines::ProhibitExcessComplexity
* TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitNoStrict
* TestingAndDebugging::ProhibitNoWarnings
Bug Fixes:
* 15101: Plugin architecture improves support for 3rd-party code
* 16319: Fixed incorrect PBP page number in ProhibitBarwordFilehandle
* 16321: Lists of empty quotes are now allowed by ProhibitQuotedWordLists
* 16288: Empty lists caused a fatal error RequireTrailingCommas
* 15653: Fixed false positive in OneArgSelect.
[0.13] Released on 2005-10-31
Official release of 0.12_03. No code major changes.
[0.12_03] Not released
Renamed -Policy option to -include. Added -exclude to give the
opposite effect.
Refactored constructor of Perl::Critic. Now, most of the work
is delegated to Perl::Critic::Config. I'm not sure I like how
this turned out, but we'll see how it goes.
Renamed some Policy modules to be a bit more comprehensible. Note
that you may need to change your .perlcriticrc file accordingly.
I also suggest removing your current Perl::Critic installation
before installing this one.
Name Changes:
* ProhibitUnpackagedCode => RequireExplicitPackage
* RequireQuotedWords => ProhibitQuotedWordLists
Improved error message when Perl::Critic dies because PPI can't
parsee the input code.
Changed output of -help to be more terse.
Edited POD.
[0.12_02] Not released
Added -Policy option to perlcritic. The idea is to provide a
compact interface for selecting Policy modules at the command-line.
This feature is experimental and subject to change.
Added a warning message if -verbose value looks strange. In most
applications, the -verbose option does not require a value, so people
might be puzzled when they write 'perlcritic -verbose my_file.pm' and
nothing seems to happen.
Command-line options to perlcritic are now case-sensitive. This
makes it easier to abbreviate options that start with the same letters
(e.g. 'Version' and 'verbose')
Fixed the new Policy modules that were misnamed and misplaced in the
previous distribution.
[0.12_01] Not released
Rewrote some of the ControlStructures and BuiltinFunction
policies to be simpler (and probably a little faster).
Edited POD. Fixed some typos. Added PREREQUISITES section
to Perl::Critic documentation.
Fixed the -verbose FORMAT option so that you can put metachars
in the FORMAT specification. If using perlcritic, be careful to
protect them from getting munged by the shell first.
Replaced ProhibitRequireStatements with RequireBarewordIncludes
module. Courtesy of Chris Dolan <cdolan@cpan.org>
Added configuration to ProhibitInterpolationOfLiterals so that
certain flavors of quotes can be exempt. This is for folks who
have configured their editor to use special syntax highlighting
for certain kinds of strings (SQL, for example).
perlcritic now accepts multiple file arguments, so now you can
critique your entire distribution in one shot. As a result, the
output-formats have changed slightly.
New Policy modules:
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitSleepViaSelect
* ClassHierarchies::ProhibitOneArgBless
* CodeLayout::RequireTrailingCommas
* CodeLayout::RequireQuotedWordLists
* InputOutput::ProhibitTwoArgOpen
* InputOutput::ProhibitOneArgSelect
* InputOutput::ProhibitBarewordFileHandles
* Miscellanea::RequireRcsKeywords
* Modules::RequireVersionVar
* RegularExpressions::RequireExtendedFormatting
* RegularExpressions::RequireLineBoundaryMatching
Bug fixes:
14923: 'require' is now permitted. See RequireBarewordIncludes.
15022: Fixed false-positives when keywords are used as hash keys.
15023: Fixed spurious Violations by removing magic shebang.
15031: Fixed spelling mistakes (and probably added some new ones).
15233: Postfix 'if' is now allowed with 'die', 'croak', etc.
[0.12] Released 2005-10-10
Redesigned the 'verbose' feature. Now the output format
can be user-defined using a sprintf-like specification.
perlciritc also has a predefined output format that is
compatible with grep mode in editors like vim and emacs.
'return' is now exempt from ProhibitParensWithBuiltins. I may
extend this exemption to all unary functions.
Edited POD. Added a super brief description of each policy
in the main Perl::Critic documentation. Added details about
editor integration.
Additional Prerequisites:
* String::Format
[0.11] Not released
The internal dynamics and API of Perl::Critic have changed
considerably. The result is a 300% increase in performance.
See the POD in Perl::Critic::Policy for details.
New Features:
* Added -verbose option to put more stuff in the output. In the
extreme, you can get the POD from Policy attached to each
and every violation.
Additional Prerequisites:
* IO::String
* Pod::PlainText
[0.10] Released 2005-10-05
Fixed stupid bug in newest Policy modules. They were returning
PPI objects instead of Perl::Critic::Violation objects. Doh!
Fixed test scripts to prevent failures if the user already has a
.perlcriticrc file.
'ProhibitHardTabs' now allows leading tabs by default.
Put the Changes file in reverse-chronological order, so the most
recent stuff is easy to find at the top of the file
[0.09] Released 2005-10-04
Fixed several bugs:
* 14810: Now you are allowed to create your own 'import' function,
since this is frequently done with fancy modules.
* 14817: Parens, brackets, and braces are now excluded from
'ProhibitNoisyQuotes' since they look better in quotes anyway.
* 14787: $1..$9 and '_' are exempt from ProhibitPunctuationVars
* 14899: Object methods with the same name as a built-in can
be called with parens (ProhibitParensWithBuiltins).
* 14901: Normalized the exit status of perlcritic to 0, 1, or 2.
See documentation for explanation.
* 14855: Partially fixed home directory discovery. Still not
completely portable, but at least doesn't create warnings.
New features:
* 14734: Limit for number separators is now configurable
New Policy modules:
* CodeLayout::ProhibitHardTabs
* ControlStructures::ProhibitUnlessBlocks
* ControlStructures::ProhibitUntilBlocks
* ControlStructures::ProhibitCStyleForLoops
Changed the syntax for the magic comments. Adam had the
idea of using a pragma-like notation. I liked it.
[0.08_2] Released 2005-09-27
Fixed problems with Perl::Critic::Config that caused File::Spec
to emit 'uninitialized value' warnings during the build.
Added 1 Policy module contributed by Graham TerMarsch
Switched from File::Spec::Functions to plain File::Spec because
I think its usage is more common.
Removed 'FindBin' from the test files so I can be sure that the
right libraries are getting loaded. This means I'll have to
use the -l option with C<prove>.
Edited more POD.
[0.08_01] Not released
Fixed "ProhibitParensWithBuiltins" to allow parens to be used with
object method calls that have the same name as a builtin functions.
Introduced magical comments that allow developers to configure
Perl::Critic on-the-fly from within their code.
Added META.yml files and POD tests to the build. I did this
mostly just to boost the Kwalitee score on CPANTS.
Switched from "Config::Std" to "Config::Tiny" because it doesn't
require those fancy Damian modules that don't seem to work on
some older versions of Perl.
[0.07] Released on 2005-09-21
Fixed bugs in the ProhibitCascadingIfElse policy.
Added ProhibitExplicitReturnUndef policy
Made ProhibitUnpackagedCode configurable so you can exempt scripts,
which typically don't have an explicit 'package' statement.
ProhibitPackageVars policy now exempts vars in ALL_CAPS. This
is to permit common package variables like @EXPORT and $VERSION.
Renamed "ProhibitStringyGrep and "ProhibitStringyMap" because
the so-called string form doesn't really exist. Now called
"RequireBlockGrep" and "RequireBlockMap"
Corrected documentation on defining Policy names within the
configuration file. This still isn't very clear and needs
to be rewritten.
Perl::Critic now requires PPI version 1.003, which has a few bug
fixes of its own.
Rewrite some code just to make Perl::Critic more self-compliant.
Added test cases to verify the configuration functionality. These
are not completely thorough and need more work.
[0.06] Released on 2005-09-17
Now called 'Perl::Critic'.
Added 4 new policy modules.
Fixed bugs in build process.
Added support for Module::Build.
[0.05] Released on 2005-09-17
End of 'Perl::Review' releases. I have changed the name to
'Perl::Critic' to avoid possible confusion with "The Perl Review"
magazine.
[0.04] Released on 2005-09-14
Version 0.03 was a bust because I uploaded the wrong tarball to PAUSE.
[0.03] Released on 2005-09-13.
Fixed some POD links.
Removed test cases for missing policy module.
[0.02] Released on 2005-09-13.
Major overhaul based on feedback from Perl community.
Factored coding standards into separate modules (known as
Policies). The idea here is to allow other developers to easily
contribute additional coding standards.
Reworked Perl::Review into a simple engine for loading and running
Policy modules.
Gave perlreview a command-line interface and configuration file
for selecting which Policy modules to use.
[0.01] Released on 2005-08-16.
Initial version.
