(1) Checkers now have an _exec attribute, and an accessor getExec().
(2) CreateAndRegisterChecker() initializes _exec from an optional argument
'exec'. If this argument is missing, 'name' is used instead.
(3) Functions SyntaxCheckers_*_IsAvailable() are now dictionary functions.
(4) Functions SyntaxCheckers_*_IsAvailable() are now optional. When
they are missing, they are assumed to return executable(expand(self.getExec())).
(5) Argument 'exe' of function syntastic#makeprg#build() is now optional.
If this argument is missing, expand(self.getExec()) is used to set checker
executables.
Make SyntaxCheckers_*_GetLocList() dictionary functions.
Pass a reference to the current checker to syntastic#makeprg#build().
Add an optional 'redirect' argument to CreateAndRegisterChecker().
Change the sh checker to use the new dictionary functions.
Add a new registry method getLocListRaw() (needed for the sh checker).
Older versions of Vim can crash if redraw is called while a popup is
visible. This commit adds a variable g:syntastic_delayed_redraws that
instructs syntastic to move redraws to a CursorHold / CursorHoldI
handler if redraw is called while pumvisible() is true.
Normally composite types are handled by splitting them into simple
components, and applying the corresponding (simple) checkers. This
behaviour can now be disabled, by mapping composite types to a simple
ones.
This is not completely safe: if a loclist is created by something
other than syntastic before the error window is displayed, syntastic
will obliterate it. There is currently no way to tell if a
loclist was created by syntastic or not. Undocumented variable
g:syntastic_reuse_loc_lists can be used to disable reuse of loclists.
It's now possible to deal with \0 characters in checkers' output.
Shell escaping is saner and safer.
SyntasticMake() has a new option 'preprocess'.
Checkers html/validator and eruby/ruby now use the new preprocess
option. Auxilliary script validator_decode.awk is no longer needed.
