(Note that this testing was done with a local fix in the Statick `exceptions` module for a `UnicodeDecodeError`.
That fix will get pushed to Statick in the future.)

Added

per file. (63)
- Ubuntu 22.04 used in continuous integration workflows. (62)
- Python 3.11 used in continuous integration workflows. (62)

Changed

- Update GitHub Actions to use latest versions. (62)

Fixed

- Ensuring that "Cannot find module" thrown errors from nodejs in markdownlint tool plugin cause statick to error. (64)

Removed

This set of plugins was merged into the main [Statick] repository and Python package.
All future development will happen in that repository.

Updated

- The Statick dependency was pinned to lower than version 0.12.
- This will ensure these plugins are not installed in the same space as the main `statick` package.
Having both packages installed would cause conflicts between plugins.

Added

- Support for Python 3.12 and 3.13.
- Use of `pyproject.toml` instead of `setup.py` and `requirements.txt`.
- Supports new plugin discovery mechanism for the main Statick tool.
- Switched from yapsy to setuptools for plugin mechanism. (sscpac/statick508)

Changed

- Disabled code coverage requirements in CI for now.
- Unable to get line coverage working with new plugin mechanism.
Unit tests still work to find problems.
- Updated README to use more modern approach to installing Python and NPM packages.
- Rename plugin modules so they are shorter and less redundant.

Removed

- No longer support Python 3.8.
- Proselint tool removed.
- Unable to resolve type hint and unit test issues.
Tool not used as far as Statick developers are aware.
