This has been a huge support burden for us. I seriously considered doing
this in 3.0 but caved to a vocal minority and the desire to keep as much
backwards compatibility as possible. At this point, however, I'm done
witnessing the abuse Anthony has to suffer over this and I'm done with
the undue hostility that people who don't bother to read the docs
display. Hopefully, this eases that a bit.
When looking at the documentation, the release notes section on the
sidebar was incredibly long, due to the number of releases available.
To make this more usable, I've split the release notes index into
sections for each release series (e.g., 3.x, 2.x, etc.). This allows
documentation users to open the release notes sidebar section, and then
select which series they want. That will expand and let them pick the
version.
This makes the regular expression a bit more complex, and potentially
slower, but it will fix the issue where users had noqa comments with
colons followed by explanations.
Closes#178
Flake8 3.0 was stopping once it found the current directory but the
historical behaviour (that we didn't intend to break) searched past
that (towards root) until it found one of the project/local config
file names that could be read.
Closes#181
In Flake8 2.x we allowed people to use # noqa at the end of a multiline
string to ignore errors inside the string (e.g., E501). Being blissfully
ignorant of this, I never accounted for it in Flake8 3. This fixes the
oversight and allows multiline statements to have the # noqa at the end.
Closes#177
