Changes for version 1.25_03 - 2006-08-19

  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Added --binary support.
    • Fixed docs for --[no]color. Thanks, Mark Stosberg.
    • Checks files with non-matching extensions for correct filetype. For example, a foo.cgi file will now be checked for a shebang line.

Changes for version 1.25_02 - 2006-08-17

  • THINGS THAT MIGHT BREAK YOUR CODE
    • Stopped supporting the --javascript option. I assume that everyone just uses --js. Tell me if I'm wrong.
  • FIXES
    • Fixed bugs in 1.25_01 where it wouldn't skip directories correctly, and wouldn't autodescend into the current directory.
  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • -o option now hanldes any given Perl expression for the output. Thanks to Leland Johnson for the idea.
    • Now supports --asm, and ignores SCCS directories.

Changes for version 1.25_01 - 2006-08-16

  • ENHANCEMENTS
    • Added .css support.
    • Added .yml as YAML
  • INTERNALS
