- Python 3.10 support
- New Rule: ignore-by-author-name allows users to skip linting commit messages made by specific authors
--commit <SHA>flag to more easily lint a single commit message (#141)--fail-without-commitsflag will force gitlint to fail (exit code 253) when the target commit range is empty (typically when using--commits) (#193)- Bugfixes:
- contrib-title-conventional-commits (CT1) now properly enforces the commit type (#185)
- contrib-title-conventional-commits (CT1) now supports the BREAKING CHANGE symbol "!" (#186)
- Heads-up: Python 3.6 will become EOL at the end of 2021. It's likely that future gitlint releases will stop supporting Python 3.6 as a result. We will continue to support Python 3.6 as long as its easily doable, which in practice usually means as long as our dependencies support it.
- Under-the-hood: dependencies updated, test and github action improvements.
