• The box_unused_attached_pkg_linter() now correctly recognizes list elements accessed via $ as valid uses of an attached package. (#148)
• box_unused_attached_mod_linter() now handles errors gracefully when a module does not exist. (#108)
• Now respects the box convention that "nothing exported means export all". (#166)

• Resolved a false-positive lint triggered by calling a function argument via list notation. (#131)
• Alphabetical sorting now uses the radix method, ensuring consistent behavior across systems. (#168)
• Fixed a bug in styling that caused issues when the source code contained no empty lines. (#134)

box.linters 0.10.5 (2024-09-10)

box.linters 0.10.4 (2024-09-03)

• Fix critical bug of style_box_use_*() converting all lines to NA if there is no box::use() call found.
• R version (>= 4.3.0) compatibility fix for MacOS.

box.linters 0.10.3 (2024-08-21)

box.linters 0.10.1

• box_unused_att_pkg_fun_linter() allows functions passed into other functions by name without ().
• package::function() check is exclusive to namespace_function_calls().
• Move treesitter dependencies to Suggests because of the R >= 4.3.0 requirement. Functions that depend on treesitter now check if it is installed and handle the absence gracefully.

box.linters 0.10.0 (2024-07-15)

• Add checks for package::function() calls. Allow box::*() by default.
• [Bug fix] Allow relative box module paths (#110)

• [bug fix] box_trailing_commas_linter() now properly handles a #nolint for other linters
