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.

  • RSTcheckBear - Checks reStructuredText for formatting and syntax.
  • PuppetLintBear - Checks and autocorrects puppet configuration 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.

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