v6.0.0

[6.0.0] - 2025-07-04

BREAKING CHANGE

Some rules were removed from the recommended ruleset and other were promoted. See below:
Rules revision - #692

🟥 DEMOTED

• payable-fallback: Outdated due to the introduction of receive(); rarely needed in modern Solidity.

✅ PROMOTED

• interface-starts-with-i: Promotes clarity by clearly distinguishing interfaces from contracts.
• gas-calldata-parameters: Encourages optimal memory usage for external functions.
• gas-increment-by-one: Suggests using ++i style for gas-efficient increments.
• gas-indexed-events: Improves event indexing for off-chain systems and reduces gas usage.
• gas-small-strings: Recommends cheaper encoding using bytes32 for short strings.
• gas-strict-inequalities: Helps avoid subtle off-by-one bugs in range conditions.
• gas-struct-packing: Maximizes storage efficiency by suggesting tight struct packing.
• duplicated-imports: Prevents redundant imports that bloat the AST and confuse code structure.
• import-path-check: Ensures all imported files exist and resolve correctly, avoiding runtime errors.
• function-max-lines: Encourages smaller, more readable and maintainable functions.
• constructor-syntax: Enforces modern constructor syntax for consistency and clarity.
• use-natspec: Promotes proper documentation with NatSpec for better audits and readability.

Fixed

• gas-struct-packing false positives - #690
• gas-increment-by-one backward expression - #691
• Typo (thanks to @MarkFizz77)

Added

• use-natspec: Promote the use of natspec and make several checks to enforce it - #689

Added

• Added multi-directory config support by hierarchy - #678
• Added better error handling on invalid configs - #683
