* Fix a crash with E125 on multi-line strings. (Issue #263)


1.5 (2014-03-26)
----------------

Changes:

* Report E129 instead of E125 for visually indented line with same
  indent as next logical line.  (Issue #126)

* Report E265 for space before block comment. (Issue #190)

* Report E713 and E714 when operators ``not in`` and ``is not`` are
  recommended. (Issue #236)

* Allow long lines in multiline strings and comments if they cannot
  be wrapped. (Issue #224).

  for hanging indent" instead of indentation not being a
  multiple of 4.

  consistent within the same continuation block.  It helps when
  error E121 or E126 is in the ``ignore`` list.

* Report E126 instead of E121 when the continuation line is hanging
  with extra indentation, even if indentation is not a multiple of 4.

Bug fixes:

  the current directory is not the project directory. (Issue #247)

* The logical checks can return ``None`` instead of an empty iterator.
  (Issue #250)

* Do not report multiple E101 if only the first indentation starts
  with a tab. (Issue #237)

* Fix a rare false positive W602. (Issue #34)


1.4.6 (2013-07-02)
------------------

Changes:

* Honor ``# noqa`` for errors E711 and E712. (Issue #180)

* When both a ``tox.ini`` and a ``setup.cfg`` are present in the project
  directory, merge their contents.  The ``tox.ini`` file takes
  precedence (same as before). (Issue #182)

* Give priority to ``--select`` over ``--ignore``. (Issue #188)

* Compare full path when excluding a file. (Issue #186)

* New option ``--hang-closing`` to switch to the alternative style of
  closing bracket indentation for hanging indent.  Add error E133 for
  closing bracket which is missing indentation. (Issue #103)

* Accept both styles of closing bracket indentation for hanging indent.
  Do not report error E123 in the default configuration. (Issue #103)

Bug fixes:

  (Issue #184)

* Correctly report other E12 errors when E123 is ignored. (Issue #103)

* Fix E122 not detected in some cases. (Issue #201 and #208)

* Fix false positive E121 with multiple brackets. (Issue #203)


1.4.5 (2013-03-06)
------------------

* When no path is specified, do not try to read from stdin.  The feature
  was added in 1.4.3, but it is not supported on Windows.  Use ``-``
  filename argument to read from stdin.  This usage is supported
  since 1.3.4. (Issue #170)

* Do not require ``setuptools`` in setup.py.  It works around an issue
  with ``pip`` and Python 3. (Issue #172)

* Add ``__pycache__`` to the ignore list.

* Change misleading message for E251. (Issue #171)

* Do not report false E302 when the source file has a coding cookie or a
  comment on the first line. (Issue #174)

* Reorganize the tests and add tests for the API and for the command line
  usage and options. (Issues #161 and #162)

1.4.2 (2013-02-10)
------------------

* Support AST checkers provided by third-party applications.

* Register new checkers with ``register_check(func_or_cls, codes)``.

* Allow constructing a ``StyleGuide`` with a custom parser.

* Accept visual indentation without parenthesis after the ``if``
  statement. (Issue #151)

* Fix UnboundLocalError when using ``# noqa`` with continued lines.
  (Issue #158)

* Re-order the lines for the ``StandardReport``.

* Expand tabs when checking E12 continuation lines. (Issue #155)

* Refactor the testing class ``TestReport`` and the specific test
  functions into a separate test module.


1.4.1 (2013-01-18)
------------------

* Allow sphinx.ext.autodoc syntax for comments. (Issue #110)

1.4 (2012-12-22)
----------------

* Report E226 instead of E225 for optional whitespace around common
  operators (``*``, ``**``, ``/``, ``+`` and ``-``).  This new error
  code is ignored in the default configuration because PEP 8 recommends
  to "use your own judgement". (Issue #96)

* Lines with a ``# nopep8`` at the end will not issue errors on line
  length E501 or continuation line indentation E12*. (Issue #27)

* Fix AssertionError when the source file contains an invalid line
  ending ``"\r\r\n"``. (Issue #119)

* Read the ``[pep8]`` section of ``tox.ini`` or ``setup.cfg`` if present.
  (Issue #93 and #141)

* Add the Sphinx-based documentation, and publish it
  on https://pycodestyle.readthedocs.io/. (Issue #105)

1.3.1 (2012-06-18)
------------------

* Explain which configuration options are expected.  Accept and recommend
  the options names with hyphen instead of underscore. (Issue #82)

* Do not read the user configuration when used as a module
  (except if ``config_file=True`` is passed to the ``StyleGuide`` constructor).

* Fix wrong or missing cases for the E12 series.

* Fix cases where E122 was missed. (Issue #81)


1.3 (2012-06-15)
----------------

.. warning::
   The internal API is backwards incompatible.

* Remove global configuration and refactor the library around
  a ``StyleGuide`` class; add the ability to configure various
  reporters. (Issue #35 and #66)

* Read user configuration from ``~/.config/pep8``
  and local configuration from ``./.pep8``. (Issue #22)

* Fix E502 for backslash embedded in multi-line string. (Issue #68)

  closing brackets).

* Fix E127 and E128 for continuation line indentation. (Issue #74)

* New option ``--format`` to customize the error format. (Issue #23)

  when the ``--doctest`` or the ``--testsuite`` fails.

* Correctly detect the encoding in Python 3. (Issue #69)

* Drop support for Python 2.3, 2.4 and 3.0. (Issue #78)


1.2 (2012-06-01)
----------------

* Add E121 through E128 for continuation line indentation.  These
  checks are disabled by default.  If you want to force all checks,
  use switch ``--select=E,W``.  Patch by Sam Vilain. (Issue #64)

* Add E721 for direct type comparisons. (Issue #47)

* Add E711 and E712 for comparisons to singletons. (Issue #46)

0.7.0 (2012-03-26)
------------------

* Now ``--first`` prints only the first occurrence of each error.

  about the syntax.

* Fix E225: accept ``print >>sys.stderr, "..."`` syntax.

* Fix E501 for lines containing multibyte encoded characters. (Issue #7)

* Fix E221, E222, E223, E224 not detected in some cases. (Issue #16)

* Fix E211 to reject ``v = dic['a'] ['b']``. (Issue #17)

* Exit code is always 1 if any error or warning is found. (Issue #10)

* ``--ignore`` checks are now really ignored, especially in
  conjunction with ``--count``. (Issue #8)

* Blank lines with spaces yield W293 instead of W291: some developers
  want to ignore this warning and indent the blank lines to paste their
  code easily in the Python interpreter.

* Fix E301: do not require a blank line before an indented block. (Issue #14)

* Fix E203 to accept NumPy slice notation ``a[0, :]``. (Issue #13)

* Performance improvements.

  function definition, even if there's a docstring. (Issue #1)

* Add the switch ``--version``.

* Fix decoding errors with Python 3. (Issue #13 [1]_)

* Add ``--select`` option which is mirror of ``--ignore``.

* Add checks E261 and E262 for spaces before inline comments.

* New check W604 warns about deprecated usage of backticks.

* New check W603 warns about the deprecated operator ``<>``.

* Performance improvement, due to rewriting of E225.

* E225 now accepts:

  - no whitespace after unary operator or similar. (Issue #9 [1]_)

  - lambda function with argument unpacking or keyword defaults.

* Reserve "2 blank lines" for module-level logical blocks. (E303)

* Allow multi-line comments. (E302, issue #10 [1]_)

  with non ``*.py`` files.

* E231 should allow commas to be followed by ``)``. (Issue #3 [1]_)

* Spaces are no longer required around the equals sign for keyword
  arguments or default parameter values.
