v3.0.1

Compare Source

Fixed

• .qrc and .ui now have the HTML comment style instead of being marked
  uncommentable. (#​896)
• This reverts behaviour introduced in v3.0.0: the contents of uncommentable
  files are scanned for REUSE information again. The contents of binary files
  are not. (#​896)

v3.0.0

Compare Source

This release contains a lot of small improvements and changes without anything
big per se. Rather, it is made in advance of a release which will contain a
single feature: REUSE.toml, a
replacement for .reuse/dep5. .reuse/dep5 will still be supported as a
deprecated feature for some time.

That future 3.1 release will have some alpha testing in advance.

Added

• Implement handling LicenseRef in download and init. (#​697)
• Declared support for Python 3.12. (#​846)
• More file types are recognised:
  • TCL (.tcl) (#​871)
  • Julia (.jl) (#​815)
  • Modern Fortran (.f90) (#​836)
  • Bazel (.bzl) (#​870)
  • GNU Linker script (.ld) (#​862)
  • Assembly code (.s) (#​862)
  • Empty placeholders (.empty) (#​862)
  • ShellCheck configuration (.shellcheckrc) (#​862)
  • Pylint in-project configuration (pylintrc) (#​862)
  • Lisp schemes (.sld, .sls, .sps) (#​875)
• Added comment styles:
  • csingle for Zig (.zig) and Hare (.ha) (#​889)
• Display recommendations for steps to fix found issues during a lint. (#​698)
• Add support for Pijul VCS. Pijul support is not added to the Docker image.
  (#​858)
• When running annotate on a file with an unrecognised file path, the tool
  currently exits early. To automatically create a .license file for
  unrecognised files, --fallback-dot-license has been added. (#​823, #​851,
  #​853, #​859; this took a while to get right.)
• Ignore .sl directory as used by Sapling SCM.
  (#​867)

Changed

• Alpine Docker image now uses 3.18 as base. (#​846)
• The Git submodule detection was made less naïve. Where previously it detected
  a directory with a .git file as a submodule, it now uses the git command to
  detect submodules. This helps detect (quoted from Git man page)
  "[repositories] that were cloned independently and later added as a submodule
  or old setups", which "have the submodule's git directory inside the submodule
  instead of embedded into the superproject's git directory". (#​687)
• No longer scan binary or uncommentable files for their contents in search of
  REUSE information. (#​825)
• --force-dot-license and --skip-unrecognised are now mutually exclusive on
  annotate. (#​852)
• No longer create and publish -extra Docker images. The openssh-client
  package is now in the main image. (#​849)
• No longer create and publish dev Docker images. (#​849)
• The -debian Docker image is now based off debian:12-slim. It used to be
  based on the python:slim image, which used debian:slim under the hood. (#​849)

Removed

• Removed deprecated --explicit-license. (#​851)
• Removed deprecated addheader. (#​851)
• No longer depend on sphinx-autodoc-typehints for documentation. (#​772)

Fixed

• Syntax errors in .reuse/dep5 now have better error handling. (#​841)
• Reduced python-debian minimum version to 0.1.34. (#​808)
• Fix issue in annotate where --single-line and --multi-line would not
  correctly raise an error with an incompatible comment style. (#​853)
• Fix parsing existing copyright lines when they do not have a year (#​861)
• Better handling of Lisp comment styles. Now, any number of ";" characters is
  recognised as the prefix to a Lisp comment, and ";;;" is used when inserting
  comment headers, as per
  https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Comment-Tips.html.
