vale-cli/vale v3.27.0

on GitHub

French, German, and Spanish

Vale now lints French, German, and Spanish in the language itself. Set Lang and run vale sync to download its model:

[*.md]
Lang = fr

Sentences are split and words are tagged with a model for that language, so sequence rules can match on upos: tags. spelling reads the language's own dictionary from config/dictionaries, and sentence-case rules keep the words the language capitalizes, such as German nouns. More languages are available; vale sync reports any that have no model.

Source-code grammars

Tree-sitter grammars are now WebAssembly modules that vale sync installs, and the release binaries no longer need CGo.

If you lint source code, run vale sync after upgrading. A [*.go] section gets the Go grammar automatically; Grammars = go, python (or ALL, or NONE) overrides that.

Also

• vale ls-metrics takes several paths or a directory.
• Rules scoped to sentence or paragraph now run on code comments.
• A hard line break no longer joins a nested list to the item above it (#1225).
