Improvements to the documentation are welcome.

Enhancements:

• Add support for JScript's function extensions, such as function window.onload() {} and function window::onload(). (This is disabled by default.)
• Add a /*jsl:pass*/ control comment to suppress warnings about empty statementss.
• Add a /*jsl:declare*/ control comment to suppress warnings about undeclared identifiers.
• Warn against trailing comments in array initializers.
• Warn against assignments to function calls (for example, alert() = 10).
• Warn against calls to parseInt without a radix parameter.
• Warn against implicit type conversion when comparing against true or false.
• Clarify the warning against with statements.

Bug Fixes:

• Fix syntax error on nested comments.
• Fix duplicate case warning.
• Fix insuppressible increment/decrement warning.
• Fix incorrect warning against invalid /*jsl:fallthru*/ comment.
• Fix undeclared identifiers in with statements.

Update: Corrected post title.

The documentation on the website has been updated.

The "Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) - Codepage 65001" encoding is now supported for configuration files.

Available from the download page.

When referencing an external script, the script start and end tags no longer need to be on the same line.

JavaScript files using "Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) - Codepage 65001" encoding, such as those created in Microsoft Visual Studio, no longer generate errors.

This release also improves the use of the fallthru control comment when used in the final case in a switch statement. The "undeclared identifier" fix in the 0.1k release is now applied to both global and local variables declarations.

Available from the download page.

Enhancements:

• JavaScript Lint warns if the default case is not at the end of the switch statement.

• Control comments can now use the /*jsl:keyword*/ syntax in addition to the /*@keyword@*/ syntax. The new syntax is recommended for interoperability with JScript conditional compilation, although the traditional syntax is still supported.

• The "missing break" warning can be disabled for the last case in a switch statement. The presence of this break is merely stylistic preference.

• The "missing semicolon" warning can be disabled when anonymous functions are assigned to variables and properties (such as function prototypes). Code such as the following can optionally be allowed:

  function Coord() {
      this.x = function() {
          return 1;
      }
  }
  
  Coord.prototype.y = function() {
      return 0;
  }
  

Bug Fixes:

• The "undeclared identifier" warning for variables has been updated to reflect the ECMA specification. The following code no longer issues a warning:

  function getX() { return x; }
  var x;

• Scripts with circular import directives no longer incorrectly report undeclared identifiers.

Available from the download page.

The Online Lint has also been updated to use a local CGI, making the script much more responsive. PHP source code for the Online Lint is included in the source package.

Available from the download page.

if (i)
if (j) func1();
else func2();

The warning against duplicate case statements now correctly handles case statements with string literals.

This release fixes a bug that caused a "Bus error" on Mac OS X and a segmentation fault on Solaris 5.9; JavaScript Lint has now been compiled and run on those operating systems. If Mac users are interested in precompiled binaries, I will consider making them available for download on the website.
