0.10.0

The 0.10.0 release adds the ability to ignore commits based on their contents, support for pre-commit, and important fix for running gitlint in CI environments (such as Jenkins, Gitlab, etc).

Special thanks to @asottile, @bdrung, @pbregener, @torwald-sergesson, @RykHawthorn, @SteffenKockel and @tommyip for their contributions.

Since it's becoming increasingly hard to support Python 2.6 and 3.3, we'd like to encourage our users to upgrade their python version to 2.7 or 3.3+. Future versions of gitlint are likely to drop support for Python 2.6 and 3.3.

Full Changelog:

• New Rule: ignore-by-title allows users to ignore certain commits by matching a regex against a commit message title. (#54, #57).
• New Rule: ignore-by-body allows users to ignore certain commits by matching a regex against a line in a commit message body.
• Gitlint now supports pre-commit.com. Details in our documentation (#62).
• Gitlint now has a --msg-filename commandline flag that allows you to specify the commit message to lint via a file (#39).
• Gitlint will now be silent by default when a specified commit range is empty (#46).
• Gitlint can now be installed on MacOS by brew via the homebrew-devops tap. To get the latest version of gitlint, always use pip for installation.
• If all goes well, gitlint will also be available as a package in the Ubuntu 18.04 repositories.
• Bugfixes:
  • We fixed a nasty and recurring issue with running gitlint in CI. Hopefully that's the end of it :-) (#40).
  • Fix for custom git comment characters (#48).
