BatchLang/Blinter v1.1.62

on GitHub

[1.1.62] - 2026-11-04

Changed

• scripts/blinter.ini no longer disables rules. It only raises the line-length limit to 120 and hides the summary
• Install and uninstall PowerShell helpers run with -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned. The batch file writes those helpers itself, so Bypass is not required
• The installer probes curl with curl --version before downloading
• The GitHub release FOR /F states that the helper's URL, tag, and digest are separated by spaces
• The version-probe temporary name uses !RANDOM! inside its parenthesized block
• The registry helpers split two lines that were longer than 120 characters, in both the PowerShell fixtures and the echo blocks
• The MegaLinter install pin is 1.1.62

Fixed

• charset_normalizer's utf_8 name is recognized as UTF-8. An ASCII script whose detection crosses the coherence threshold no longer logs that it was read as a non-UTF-8 encoding
• S010 no longer reports a label that execution falls through. The label is dead only when nothing names it with GOTO or CALL and no path falls into it, such as a label after a top-level EXIT or GOTO. if ... goto and || goto still count as references
• A line ending in ^ is one command with the next physical line. echo bye ^ followed by exit or goto does not leave. echo hi & ^ followed by exit or goto does. An IF that continues onto ( still owns that block
• S018 now asks for a parameter and return comment only on a label that an executable call :name invokes, including call :name after IF or ||. A GOTO target or a fall-through label is not a subroutine. call :name on the continuation of echo bye ^ is not a call; call :name after echo hi & ^ is
• P008 no longer reports !VAR! below a block that runs ENDLOCAL and ends in EXIT or GOTO, nor below if ... endlocal & exit /b: those lines run only when the ENDLOCAL did not. Where a setlocal disabledelayedexpansion is open at such an ENDLOCAL, it now stays open below the block, so P008 can report !VAR! there
• P008 keeps that ENDLOCAL, as before, in the cases the docstrings of _ExitScan and _build_delayed_expansion_state in src/blinter/parsing/structure.py give, such as a block that holds a SETLOCAL or a GOTO before its last command, or a piped EXIT
