This release contains mostly bugfix and internal code improvements. Special thanks to William Turell and Joe Grund for bug reports and pull requests.
- commit-msg hooks improvements: The new commit-msg hook now allows you to edit your message if it contains violations, prints the commit message on aborting and is more compatible with GUI-based git clients such as SourceTree.
You will need to uninstall and reinstall the commit-msg hook for these latest features. - Python 2.6 support
- Behavior change: merge commits are now ignored by default. The rationale is that the original commits should already be linted and that many merge commits don't pass gitlint checks by default (e.g. exceeding title length or empty body is very common). This behavior can be overwritten by setting the general option
ignore-merge-commit=false. - Bugfixes and enhancements:
- #7: Hook compatibility with SourceTree
- #8: Illegal option -e
- #9: print full commit msg to stdout if aborted
- #11 merge commit titles exceeding the max title length by default
- Better error handling of invalid general options
- Development: internal refactoring to extract more info from git. This will allow for more complex rules in the future.
- Development: initial set of integration tests. Test gitlint end-to-end after it is installed.
- Development: pylint compliance for python 2.7
