Hello,
Through the efforts of many contributors, and in particular those of Daniel
Nephin, v2.0.0 has been released. You can grab it here:
https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter/releases/tag/v2.0.0
The biggest change since v1.x is that linting is now MUCH more efficient,
thanks to the changes by Daniel. Instead of invoking each linter for every
directory, linters are invoked the minimum number of times necessary by
passing as many directories, packages or files as they will accept in a
single invocation.
The configuration format has also changed, but should be mostly backwards
compatible.
Another major change is that from now on we will be releasing binary
packages. This also means that: gometalinter's management of linter
installation will soon be deprecated, and eventually removed, and that
gopkg.in will no longer be used.
Going forward we have several interesting things planned for gometalinter:
1. Support for in-process invocation of linters via an interface +
adapters. See https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter/issues/380. This
should make linting even more efficient, as packages will only need to be
parsed/compiled once, and the FileSet (etc.) can be reused.
2. Configuration handling will be rewritten/rethought. This will encompass
automatic .gometalinterrc loading, among other things.
3. Lots of internal refactoring to clean up the codebase.
As always, if you encounter any problems please create a new issue.
Regards,
Alec
