[New Policies]
- Variables::ProhibitAugmentedAssignmentInDeclaration reports
constructs like 'my $x += 1'. Contributed by Mike O'Regan.
[Policy Changes]
- BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr: Add explicit 'use version'.
RT #68498.
- CodeLayout::ProhibitHardTabs: Add 'pbp' to the default_themes list.
RT #71093.
- ControlStructures::ProhibitMutatingListFunctions now understands that
tr///r (introduced in 5.13.7) does not change its operand.
- ControlStructures::ProhibitMutatingListFunctions now understands that
'//=', '<<=', and '>>=' are assignment operators. RT #70901.
- ErrorHandling::RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval now allows things
like grep { eval $_ }. RT #69489.
- Modules::RequireExplicitPackage now has configuration option
allow_import_of, to allow the import of specified modules before
the package statement. RT #72660.
- RegularExpressions::ProhibitEnumeratedClasses no longer thinks
that [A-Za-z_] matches \w. RT #69322.
- RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCaptures now skips the first
block of an 'if' or 'elsif' if the regular expression is bound to
its operand with the '!~' operator. RT #69867.
- RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCaptures now looks into lists
and blocks in the replacement portion of the regular expression if
/e is asserted. RT #72086.
- RegularExpressions::RequireDotMatchAnything,
RegularExpressions::RequireExtendedFormatting and
RegularExpressions::RequireLineBoundaryMatching now honor defaults
set with 'use re "/modifiers"'. RT #72151.
- Subroutines::ProhibitManyArgs now recognizes '+' as a prototype
character.
- Variables::ProhibitPunctuationVars now recognizes bracketed
variables embedded in interpolated strings (e.g. "${$}"). For the
purpose of the 'allow' configuration, these are considered
equivalent to the unbracketed form. RT #72910.
[Other Changes]
- Corrected POD in Perl::Critic::PPI::Utils. RT #68898.
- Perl::Critic::Violation source() method now returns the line
containing the violation (not the first line) when the statement
