[Codenarc-user] [ANN] Announcing CodeNarc 1.1

[Chris M. <cm...@gm...>]

The *CodeNarc Team *is proud to announce the release of version *1.1*.

CodeNarc <http://codenarc.org/> is a static analysis tool for Groovy source
code.

Version *1.1* includes 9 new rules and several enhancements and bug fixes. See
the full details in the release notes
<https://github.com/CodeNarc/CodeNarc/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md>.

*New Rules*

   - MissingOverrideAnnotation rule (enhanced) - Checks for methods that
   override a method in a super class or implement a method in an interface
   but are not annotated with @Override.
   - Indentation rule (formatting) - Check indentation for class, method
   and field declarations and initial statements.
   - InvertedCondition rule (convention) - An inverted condition is one
   where a constant expression is used on the left hand side of the equals
   comparision. Such conditions can be confusing especially when used in
   assertions where the expected value is by convention placed on the right
   hand side of the comparision.
   - MethodReturnTypeRequired rule (convention) - Checks that method return
   types are not dynamic, that is they are explicitly stated (and not using
   *def*).
   - MethodParameterTypeRequired rule (convention) - Checks that method
   parameters are not dynamically typed, that is they are explicitly
   stated (and not using *def*).
   - FieldTypeRequired rule (convention) - Checks that field types are
   explicitly specified (and not using *def*)
   - VariableTypeRequired rule (convention) - Checks that variable types
   are explicitly specified in declarations (and not using *def*)
   - BlockStartsWithBlankLine rule (formatting) - Checks that code blocks
   such as method bodies, closures and control structure bodies do not start
   with an empty line.
   - BlockEndsWithBlankLine rule (formatting) - Checks that code blocks
   such as method bodies, closures and control structure bodies do not end
   with an empty line.
