New Features

• Python — structural pattern matching (match/case, PEP 634, Python 3.10+) is now counted correctly for cyclomatic complexity (including --modified mode)

Bug Fixes

• C/C++: stop raw string literals (R"(…)") from swallowing following code in the tokenizer (issue #478, PR #479)

Published to PyPI via GitHub Actions (release.yml).

Improvements

• Release workflow: clarify how PyPI matches trusted publishers (repository owner id, workflow file, environment); add optional PYPI_API_TOKEN secret for token-based upload when OIDC is not used

• New GitHub Actions workflow builds sdist/wheel on semver tags and
  publishes via PyPI trusted publishing (pypi environment).
• CHANGELOG and version for 1.21.3 (Java annotation arguments fix, #463).

Bug Fixes

• Fix nesting depth calculation for C++ else if chains (issue #418)
  • else if () {} is now treated as same nesting level as if, not as nested
  • Matches behavior of similar tools and user expectations

Bug Fixes

• Fix Ruby parser hang on %i[] and %I[] symbol array literals (issue #457)
• Fix regex in CodeReader to prevent catastrophic backtracking on multiple question marks after less than sign (issue #459)

Improvements

• Add script directory to sys.path for running lizard.py from source (issue #460)

New Features

• Add selective metric forgiveness (issue #455)
  • Use #lizard forgives(length) to forgive only specific metrics
  • Use #lizard forgives(length, parameter_count) for multiple metrics
  • #lizard forgives without parentheses continues to forgive all metrics (backward compatible)

Bug Fixes

• Fix PHP parser incorrectly treating "use function" imports as function declarations (issue #442)
  • PHP parser now correctly ignores function names in "use function" statements
  • Function names are no longer overridden by imported function names
• Fix Java parser incorrectly treating "record" variable names as keywords (issue #453)
  • Java parser now correctly distinguishes between the record keyword and variables named "record"
  • Variables named "record" inside method bodies are no longer misinterpreted as class declarations
• Fix C++ lambda parsing state machine issues (issue #443)
  • Fixed lambda capture state incorrectly transitioning to global state instead of parameter parsing
  • Added proper bracket tracking for lambda parameter lists and bodies
  • Improved handling of nested brackets within lambda expressions
  • Added support for lambda qualifiers (mutable, noexcept, constexpr, consteval)
  • Added test case for multiple functions with static_cast expressions

Bug Fixes

• Fix IndexError crash when parsing C++ raw string literals containing braces (#451)
  • Added proper tokenization for C++ raw string literals (R"delimiter(content)delimiter")
  • Enhanced lizardns extension with defensive invariant protection
  • Prevents misinterpretation of braces within string literals as structural elements

Improvements

• Improved robustness of nested structures counting extension
• Better error handling for edge cases in tokenization

Fix Java function count issue.

Bug fixes. "lizard forgive" for python

Added support for #lizard forgive global to suppress warnings for all code outside of functions, for languages like Python, Perl, etc, that allow global code.

#lizard forgive at the global level will suppress warnings for all code after it.

Bug fixes.

Add Complete Perl support.

Add VueJS support.

Add TSX support.

Bug fix: Replace re.NOFLAG with 0 to make it compatible with Python 3.10+

Bug fix: Fortran support for ELSEIF

Bug fix: Java generic like List<? extends String> JSX file extension

Add Fortran to the language supported

Bug fixing. typedef being read properly.

Bug fixing. .mm file was not recognized as object-c(++) file.

Bug fixing in Lua and Scala support

Fix missing file when install

Fix HTML Output template problem.

Support JavaScript with ES6 and JSX. Support Rust

Bug fixes:

'for' keyword in Swift label should not be counted as ccn.

'-o' or '--output_file' parameter added.

Fix the performance issue

Add Lua to the languages.

Fix a bug in MSVS format output.

Minor fix for the average NCSS (lines of code) in the XML output. Previously, the average NCSS per function included code outside any function. Now this is fixed.

An important new feature -- duplicate detector -- in the form of an extension.

Usage:

lizard -Eduplicate

The current version hasn't had any performance optimization yet. Yet, it can scan 1000 cpp files in less than 2 minutes.

Code after comments containing "GENERATED CODE" will be ignored.

in
