This release was brought to you by 65 contributors contributing 141
commits.

The name of this release is BrewBear to highlight the improvements made
to our dependency management system, including the addition of brew
support for mac users. Mac has been an officially supported platform for
a long time and we would like to draw attention to this often overlooked
fact. Support has also been added for conda and cargo allowing bears
which use linters available from those package managers to manage their
dependencies.

Initial next generation core code has been merged and will be integrated
over the coming releases. Until then, please use the current API.

We have added a release candidate system to our release process to allow
users to easily test changes in the latest pre-release version of coala.
Instructions for obtaining the rc package will be posted for each
minor/major release to the coala gitter channel, blog, and twitter. We
encourage all users interested in checking out new features or helping
to test these pre-releases on their projects. If you do find a
regression in a release candidate, please report it to the issue tracker
with the word Regression somewhere in the title.

Breaking Changes

  • coala now exits with a non zero exit code when error level results
    are logged. If you relied on coala logging in scripts or other
    automated systems please modify them to work with the new behavior.
    You can find all exit codes here.
    PR #3905

General

  • Section Inheritance had been added to the coafile parsing. With this
    change we are deprecating implicit default section inheritance.
    Instead, you can now have definite section inheritance by using the
    . in the section title. Append operators are now supported
    allowing addition of values to inherited section. See the
    Explicit Setting Inheritance section of the
    docs
    for a syntax example and detailed instructions
  • The section name cli is reserved for cli arguments and should not
    be used in the coala configuration file (coafile). If you are
    currently using it in a configuration file, coala will warn you.
  • coala now outputs absolute file paths when a bear fails. This should
    make debugging bear failures easier when using custom bears.

Usability

  • A new placeholder, source_lines, has been added to the coala
    --format option. Use it to output the affected lines in the source
    file when a result occurs.
  • Bears are displayed alphabetically when listed using --show-bears.
  • coala outputs a warning if a setting is overridden in the same
    section since this is probably not what the user intended.
  • --format is handled correctly when --ci is specified, outputting
    formatted output without asking questions. Issue#3999
  • coala will report the version of the dependency required when the
    version check fails. Issue#3982

Bear Developers

  • @linter decorator works with global bears. See our bear writing
    docs
    for more information on how to write a global bear with the
    @linter decorator.
  • Bear.DownloadCachedFile raises exceptions when the download fails.
    Please see the requests library
    docs
    for a complete list of possible exceptions that will need to be
    handled.
  • The deprecate_settings decorator now supports multiple
    deprecations of the same setting. Issue #3537
  • A new SEE_MORE attribute has been added to the Bear class. Use
    it to attribute (usually by linking the main page) the original tool
    in linter bears.
  • Unified Diff support has been added to the Diff result, linter and
    display mechanisms.

Bugfixes

  • Caching has been fixed to work correctly. Results are only cached
    when a bear successfully runs. A bear which fails in the middle of a
    run will not have a result cached anymore. This should make flushing
    the cache manually mostly unnecessary for end users. PR#3722
  • Non-optional settings check settings from dependent bears now.
    Previously, it would error because the dependency would not have its
    settings satisfied. Issue#3149
  • The Result object now handles None values of TextPosition
    properly. Previously, it would return arbitrary results which would
    impact bear authors. Issue#3094
  • A few problems when using coala in systems with incomplete locales
    data have been fixed. This was common in Docker containers. Issue#3906
