Enhancements:

  • FilenameBear can now recognize kebab-case naming convention.

  • JSONFormatBear notifies if run on empty files.
  • JSONFormatBear tells the lines and columns at which the error occured instead of showing it in the error message.

New settings

  • YAMLLintBear can now be configured to check for maximum characters in a line, by default it is set to 80.

Default Setting Modifications

coala-bears 0.10.1

Bugfixes:

  • Remark dependency has been pinned back to ~5.4 because version 6 changes current behavior and breaks tests. This is a hotfix which will be rolled back when the upstream addresses this.

coala-bears 0.10.0

This release, we had 97 commits contributed by 42 contributors.

The coala website has been updated to a new, more modern design. You can now find a quick overview of bears and their settings at http://coala.io/#!/languages. We also have sample a bear output on the front page for some common languages.

Separation of bear dependencies from the coala_bears package is planned. This release will keep the same behavior as previous releases. However to keep current installation behavior in the future, please use the pip package index option [alldeps] as in pip3 install coala_bears[alldeps].

Here are the important changes and additions. This release tracks coala 0.10. please see the coala release notes for the improvements in this version.
