Latest

This page lists only the most significant changes as remembered. Use
git-log to review changes not enumerated here, especially in language
parsers.

New and extended options and their flags

`--list-output-formats` option

See :ref:option_listing in :ref:ctags(1) <ctags(1)>.

`nulltag`/`z` extra

Universal Ctags now supports tags (null tags) having empty strings as their names.
See :ref:extras in :ref:ctags(1) <ctags(1)>.

NOTE:

libreadtags and readtags do not support the null tags yet.
Only json and xref output formats support the null tags.

Incompatible changes

[readtags] make -Q,--filter not work on ptags when -P,--with-pseudo-tags is specified together

With this version, -Q,--filter option doesn't affect the pseudo tags listed
with -P,--with-pseudo-tags option. -Q,--filter option specified wth
-P,--with-pseudo-tags option affect only regular tags.

To extract speicifed pseudo tags, use -Q,--filter option with
-D,--list-pseudo action.

Parser related changes

#4026
Integrate pegof <https://github.com/dolik-rce/pegof>_ to our build process.

New parsers

The following parsers have been added:

SELinuxIntefae M4 based subparser
SELinuxTypeEnforcement optlib
PythonEntryPoints subparser
Scdoc optlib
JNI subparser
TypeSpec parser
- TypeSpec by Kaisheng Xu · Pull Request #4243

NOTE: We added a TOML as a new parser in this version. However,
after adding it, we learned its implementation didn't work
entirely. So we deleted the TOML parser, and Cargo subparser
runs on the TOML parser from this "New parsers" list.
See TOML: infinite loop <https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags/issues/4096>__
about how it doesn't work.
