v3.9.0

This release introduces two new use cases for comment-based configuration.

1. Switching styles associated with a block

Individual styles can now be turned on or off:

<!-- vale StyleName1 = YES -->
<!-- vale StyleName2 = NO -->

Styles can now be set (enabling them and switching off any other styles):

<!-- vale style = StyleName1 -->
<!-- vale styles = StyleName1, StyleName2 -->

2. Ignoring individual matches

You can now choose to ignore individual matches instead of the entire rule or style:

<!-- vale style.Rule["Matched Text"] = NO -->
<!-- vale style.Rule["Match 1", "Match 2"] = NO -->

New sponsor

Finally, a thank you to Vale's newest sponsor: Spectro Cloud. Support like this makes a huge difference in my ability to continue to support and develop Vale.

v3.7.0

Capture group support

This release introduces support for referencing capture groups in substitution-based rules:

extends: substitution
message: "Use '%s' instead of '%s'."
ignorecase: true
swap:
  "within the (.*)?directory": in the $1 directory

The $1 will be replaced by the contents captured within (.*) in the regular expression. You can reference multiple capture groups by incrementing the index (such as $2 for a second one, etc.).

Action results now populate the message key

The results of your custom actions will now be inserted into the relevant rule's message key, allowing you to create dynamic, script-based suggestions using the CLI.
