v0.19.0

This release adds several new options for setting configuration options for rules in groups, allowing users to keep a static configuration across updates, or to ignore certainly classes of rules. v0.19.0 also includes a number of fixes to both linter rules and the language server integration, making for an even better experience when using Regal from VS Code or other LSP clients.

New default rule configuration option

The rules section in the Regal configuration file may now include a default attribute either at the top level, or in any specific category. This allows enabling/disabling entire categories of rules, or to avoid Regal to "break" CI/CD builds on updates if new rules are introduced. While it's arguably good to have new problems surfaced, we recognize that some organizations value stability first, and may opt for more controlled upgrades.

Example, using a default configuration to ignore all rules except for those explicitly listed:

rules:
  default:
    level: ignore
  bugs:
    constant-condition:
      level: error
    deprecated-builtin:
      level: error
    duplicate-rule:
      level: error

Example, using a default configuration to enable all rules except for those in the style category:

rules:
  default:
    level: error
  style:
    level: ignore

To learn more about the new default option, and the precedence rules for the various ways to ignore rules, see the Regal docs.
