### explcheck v0.18.1
#### Fixes
This version of explcheck has fixed the following problems:
- Merge consecutive blocks of function (variant) definitions and function
undefinitions into macro-statements that form flow-graph vertices instead
of individual statements. (suggested by @lostenderman in #156, fixed in #183)
This change improves processing time by about 10% for an average package file
in TeX Live 2024, and by up to 98% (or 53|u) for large files such as
`expl3-code.tex` when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code
understanding. It also reduces the memory footprint of flow analysis by
up to 3|u for those files.
After this change, the default value of the Lua option
`max_reaching_definition_inner_loops` has been reduced from 30,000,000
to just 650,000 inner-loop iterations.
- Fix the assignment of segment numbers to replacement texts. (#183)
This would cause function definition statements to point to segments other
than the replacement texts, confusing the flow analysis.
This change reduces processing time by about 2% for an average package file
in TeX Live 2024, and by up to 11% for large files such as `expl3-code.tex`
when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code understanding.
- Raise an error on ambiguous uses of `--long-option VALUE`, where `VALUE` is
a valid command-line option. (contributed by @muzimuzhi in #185 and c48fa116) #### Docker image
This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our Docker image `ghcr.io/witiko/expltools/explcheck`:
- Replace Lua 5.3 with LuaJIT in `Dockerfile`. (#184)
This change improves processing time by about 33% for an average package
file in TeX Live 2024, and by up to 61% for large files such as
`expl3-code.tex` when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code
understanding.
#### Continuous integration
This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous integration:
- Run regression tests on different Lua interpreters: Lua 5.2, 5.3, 5.4,
LuaTeX, and LuaJIT. (#184)
- Bump `docker/login-action` from 3 to 4. (contributed by @dependabot in #186.) Overall, the changes in this release reduce the processing time for large
files such as `expl3-code.tex` from months to hours (up to 65|u) when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code understanding, and reduce the memory footprint of flow analysis by up to 3|u for those files.
While this is still insufficient for real-time use (e.g., in a language server; see ticket #68), it makes the tool practical for scenarios such as continuous integration.

### explcheck v0.18.2
#### Fixes
This version of explcheck has fixed the following problems:
- Support `c`-type arguments in variable and constants declarations,
definitions, and uses. (#187)
This improved [code coverage][] from ca 21% to 25% of all expl3 tokens on
TeX Live 2024.
- Do a better job detecting arguments in unrecognized replacement texts when
extracting control sequence name patterns from `c`-type arguments in function
calls. (#187)
- In semantic analysis, consider the base variables in indirect variable
definitions to be used, similarly to how base functions in indirect
function definitions are considered used. (#187)
This has removed a dozen false positive detections of issue W415 (Unused
variable or constant) on TeX Live 2024.
- Include `\q_no_value` among well-known expl3 control sequence names. (#187)
- Have the issue E417 (Setting a variable as a constant) mask the issue E421
(Globally setting a local variable). (#187)
This has removed a couple questionable detections of the issue E421 on
TeX Live 2024.
- Only consider potentially used function (variant) (un)definitions in the flow
analysis. (suggested by @lostenderman in #156, fixed in #187)
This change improves processing time by about 3% for an average package file
in TeX Live 2024, and by up to 91% (or 11|u) for large files such as
`expl3-code.tex` when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code
understanding. It also reduces the memory footprint of flow analysis by
up to 4|u for those files.
After this change, the default value of the Lua option
`max_reaching_definition_inner_loops` has been reduced from 650,000
to just 350,000 inner-loop iterations.
Overall, the changes in the past two releases have reduced the processing time for large files such as `expl3-code.tex` from months to a little over an hour (up to 800|u) when flow analysis is enabled despite incomplete code understanding, and have reduced the memory footprint of flow analysis by up to 12|u for those files.

### explcheck v0.19.1

#### Fixes

This version of explcheck has fixed the following problems:

- Fix malformed context for issue E505 (Calling an undefined function).
(reported by @muzimuzhi in #191, fixed in #193)

- Do not capture a newline after expl3-like material. (#193)

This excludes the newline from the context messages and byte ranges for
issues like E102 (Expl3 material in non-expl3 parts).

- Only put argument specifiers in the context of issue E201 (Unknown argument
specifiers), not the whole control sequence name. (#193)

This makes the context of issue E201 consistent with issue E427 (Comparison
conditional without signature `:nnTF`).

- Fix the context of issue W200 ("Do not use" argument specifiers) missing
characters when the name of the control sequence ends with double-superscript
characters, like `\tex_let:^^44`. (#193)

- Report resolved control sequence names (like `\tex_let:D`) instead of the raw
input text (like `\tex_let:^^44`) for issues W200 and W202 (Deprecated
control sequences). (#193)

- Fix an incorrect assertion in code that reports issues E500 (Multiply defined
function) and W501 (Multiply defined function variant). (reported by
@muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194)

- Do not consider a definition being reached by itself a redefinition.
(reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194)

This prevents false positive detections of the issues E500 and W501.

- Do not report issue E505 (Calling an undefined function) when calling empty
functions. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194)

- Weaken the confidence of incoming reaching definitions when the in-degree is
greater than one. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194)

- Do not report issues for uninteresting macro-statements that are skipped
during flow analysis and therefore have incomplete or unreliable information
recorded. (#194)

- Only require definite reaching definitions for issues E500 and W501, not
issues E504 (Function variant for an undefined function), E506 (Indirect
function definition from an undefined function), and W507 (Setting a function
before definition). (#194)

#### Continuous integration

This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous integration:

- Check issue context in tests. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #191, added in #193)

### explcheck v0.19.2
#### Fixes
This version of explcheck has fixed the following problems:
- Recognize `\prop_new_linked:N` as a variable declaration statement
and `\prop_const_from_keyval:Nn`, `\prop_const_linked_from_keyval:Nn`,
`\prop_set_from_keyval:Nn`, and `\prop_gset_from_keyval:Nn` as
constant and variable definition statements. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #196,
fixed in #198)
More generally, this change also adds support for constant definitions in the
form `\rf?typerf-_const_from_rf?base_typerf-:*`. This improves [code coverage][] by
37,759 expl3 tokens (~0.004% of all expl3 tokens) on TeX Live 2026.
- Correctly differentiate between direct and indirect variable and constant
definitions in the form `\rf?typerf-_(set|gset|const)_from_rf?base_typerf-:*`. (#198)
- Only report issues E504 (Function variant for an undefined function),
E506 (Indirect function definition from an undefined function), and
W507 (Setting a function before definition) for top-level reachable segments.
(reported by @muzimuzhi in #195, fixed in #198)
- Do not report issue E505 (Calling an undefined function) for indirect
definitions that resolve to well-known control sequence names.
(reported by @muzimuzhi in #197, fixed in #198)

### explcheck v0.20.0

#### New features

This version of explcheck has implemented the following new features:

- Add more support for flow analysis. (#188)

This adds support for the following issues from the document titled
[_Warnings and errors for the expl3 analysis tool_][warnings-and-errors]:

1. E428 (Unexpandable or restricted-expandable boolean expression)
1. W429 (Defined an unexpandable function as unprotected)
2. W502 (Unused private function)
3. W503 (Unused private function variant)

Out of these issues, warning W429 is particularly pervasive, being reported
for 573 package files in TeX Live 2025.

- In `explcheck-latex3.lua`, add `definitions["function"]` and
`definitions.variable` properties with LPEG parsers that accept LaTeX3
standard-library function and variable names, respectively, and capture their
properties, such as expandability and the date when they were added or most
recently updated. (#201, co-authored by @josephwright in latex3/latex3#1885
and latex3/latex3#1886)

For example, `lpeg.match(definitions["function"], "msg_expandable_error:nn")`,
where `definitions = require("explcheck-latex3").definitions`, returns
the Lua table `{ EXP = "full", added = "2015-08-06" }`.

These parsers are generated by `generate-explcheck-latex3.lua` from a new
third-party submodule at `third-party/latex3`, which points to a reasonably
recent version of the LaTeX3 development repository. At commit
latex3/latex3@ff6927ae8, the parsers recognize 4,850 LaTeX3 standard-library
functions and 339 variables.

- Support multiple user config files being specified in the command-line option
`--config-file` and the corresponding Lua option `config_file`. (discussed
with @muzimuzhi in #203, added in #201)

- Add Lua option `defined_csnames` that specifies which control sequences
should always be assumed to be defined. (discussed with @muzimuzhi and
@alceu-frigeri in #206, added in #201)

This option provides a more fine-grained alternative to the earlier
`imported_prefixes`. For example, suppose the control sequences
`\module_foo:` and `\module_bar:` are imported and should always be
considered defined. A coarse-grained way to express this is:

``` toml
[defaults]
imported_prefixes = ["module"]
```

However, this also suppresses warnings and errors for all control sequence
names matching `\module_*`, as well as message names matching `module/*`,
which may be undesirable. Using `defined_csnames`, the same intent can be
expressed more precisely:

``` toml
[defaults]
defined_csnames = ["module_foo:", "module_bar:"]
```

This way, only warnings and errors related to the listed control sequence
names are suppressed.

- Add Lua option `latex3_definitions_max_added_date`, which limits how recent
LaTeX3 standard-library function and variable definitions are considered
during analysis. (#201)

This affects issues E428 and E508 (Unexpandable or restricted-expandable
boolean expression) and W429 and W512 (Defined an unexpandable function as
unprotected), as well as any issues that are only reported for user-defined
functions and variables, not for LaTeX3 standard-library ones.

For example, your config file `.explcheckrc` might look as follows if you
want to only consider deprecations, prefixes, and definitions from
TeX Live 2025 and earlier:

``` toml
[defaults]
l3obsolete_max_deprecated_date = "2025-09-29"
l3prefixes_max_first_registered_date = "2025-12-02"
latex3_definitions_max_added_date = "2025-07-08"
```

These dates can be obtained by running `generate-explcheck-latex3.lua` with
the Git submodule `third-party/latex3` checked out at a commit corresponding
to TeX Live 2025. One reasonable approximation is the Git tag `2026-01-19`,
since `/usr/local/texlive/2025/texmf-dist/tex/latex/l3kernel/expl3-code.tex`
in the Docker image `texlive/texlive:TL2025-historic` contains
`\def\ExplFileDate{2026-01-19}`. The script then produces output such as:

```
LPEG parsers and other information extracted from LaTeX3 data files.
Generated on 2026-04-30 from the following files:
- "l3obsolete.txt" with the latest obsolete entry from 2025-09-29: `\l_keys_choice_tl`
- "l3prefixes.csv" with the latest registered prefix from 2025-12-02: "asmejour"
- 85 "l3*.dtx" files with 4,753 function and 340 variable definitions:
- Latest added function or variable from 2025-07-08: `\tl_retokenize:n`
- Latest updated function or variable from 2025-09-29: `\l_keys_choice_int`
```

#### Warnings and errors

This version of explcheck has made the following changes to the document titled [_Warnings and errors for the expl3 analysis tool_][warnings-and-errors]:

- Remove planned issues E509 (Expanding an unexpandable function) and E510
(Fully-expanding a restricted-expandable function), since none of these
constitute an error: the functions simply remain unexpanded. (#201)

- Plan for weaker versions of the issues E508 (Unexpandable or
restricted-expandable boolean expression) and W512 (Defined an unexpandable
function as unprotected) in semantic analysis under the identifiers E428 and
W429, respectively, and the same names. (#201)

- Plan for further analysis of integer expressions in Section "Caveats". (#201)

#### Continuous integration

This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous integration:

- Bump `softprops/action-gh-release` from 2 to 3. (contributed by @dependabot
in #199)

- Check that third-party submodules are up-to-date. (#201)

### explcheck v0.21.0

#### New features

This version of explcheck has implemented the following new features:

- Add command-line option `--inline-config`. (suggested by @muzimuzhi in #203,
added in #211)

This option accepts a TOML string that is treated as a config file,
overriding any options specified in config files. The option may be specified
repeatedly; when the same Lua option appears in multiple TOML strings, later
occurrences take precedence.

With this option, you can set ad-hoc Lua options without creating a config
file. For example, to disable the Lua option `stop_early_when_confused`, you
can write `--inline-config defaults.stop_early_when_confused=false`.

- Support specifying Lua options at the top level of the config file.
(suggested by @muzimuzhi in #203, added in #211)

This allows you to omit the `[defaults]` section from your config file. For
example, the following is now a complete valid config file:

``` toml
max_line_length = 120
ignored_issues = ["w100", "S"]
```

This also simplifies the use of the `--inline-config` command-line option:
you can now write `--inline-config stop_early_when_confused=false` without
the previously required `defaults.` prefix.

- Change the semantics of the Lua options
`max_reaching_definition_inner_loops` and
`max_reaching_definition_outer_loops` to perform a partial reaching
definition analysis when the limits are exceeded. (#212, 975f91d)

Previously, exceeding either limit would cause explcheck to abort the
analysis. Now, processing only aborts when the number of reaching definition
loops exceeds the theoretical upper bounds, which indicates a bug. By
contrast, when the limits specified by these options are exceeded, explcheck
now continues with a partial analysis. This may lead to false positive issues
reported by the flow analysis, but can also greatly improve performance.

#### Fixes

This version of explcheck has fixed the following problems:

- Do not report issue W429 (Defined an unexpandable function as unprotected)
for restricted-expandable functions. (e507747)

- Fix potentially untrue assertion predicates in the flow analysis. (reported
by @muzimuzhi in #208, fixed in #209)

- Do not expect the `statements` key in all segments. (#212)

Some segment types such as `BOOLEAN_EXPRESSION` only contain `calls`, not
`statements`.

#### Deprecations

This version of explcheck has deprecated the following features and scheduled them for removal in v1.0.0:

- Rename the Lua option `config_file` to `config_files` and deprecate
`config_file`. (#211)

- Deprecate the command-line option `--expl3-detection-strategy`. (#211)

If you rely on this option, you may set it using `--inline-config`. For
example, you would replace `--expl3-detection-strategy always` with
`--inline-config 'expl3_detection_strategy = "always"'.

#### Continuous integration

This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous integration (CI):

- Run the flow analysis on the whole TeX Live in the CI. (#208, #210, #212,
975f91d, 59be8c3)
- Cancel previous CI run from the same branch or pull request. (cae310d)
- Do not run the CI when tags are pushed. (d88b2f1, 8c7a960)

### explcheck v0.22.0

#### New features

This version of explcheck has implemented the following new features:

- Add more support for flow analysis. (#218)

This adds support for the following issues from the document titled
[_Warnings and errors for the expl3 analysis tool_][warnings-and-errors]:

1. W517 (Unused variable or constant)

- In the semantic analysis, add a call type for standalone variable or constant
control sequences. (#213, #215)

Previously, standalone variable or constant control sequences were considered
other unrecognized tokens. This has improved [code coverage][] by 33,294
expl3 tokens (~0.4% of all expl3 tokens) on TeX Live 2025.

- Perform semantic analysis on boolean expression segments. (#213, #215)

- Detect boolean expression segments in calls to control sequences like
`\bool_if:nTF`. (#215, #217)

- Emit both `VARIABLE_DECLARATION` and `VARIABLE_DEFINITION` statements for
constant definitions like `\tl_const:Nn`. (#218)

Previously, only a `VARIABLE_DEFINITION` statement would have been produced,
requiring special-casing for issues like W415 (Unused variable or constant),
W416 (Setting an undeclared variable), and W419 (Using an undeclared variable
or constant).

- In flow analysis, draw `VARIABLE_USE` and `VARIABLE_USE_RETURN` edges. (#218)

- Include the number of reaching definition loops in verbose command-line
output. (#218)

#### Fixes

This version of explcheck has fixed the following problems:

- Do not report issue W415 (Unused variable or constant) for defined box
variables. (reported by @dcpurton in #214, fixed in #216)

Defining box variables can have useful side effects even if the variable
isn't used elsewhere.

- In the semantic analysis, consider `\rf?typerf-_log:*` a variable use. (#217)

- Reduce false positive detections of issues E408 (Calling an undefined
function), E411 (Indirect function definition from an undefined function),
and W416 (Setting an undeclared variable). (#218)

This was achieved by using pattern-based matching for only partially
understood variable declarations and function definitions.

#### Warnings and errors

This version of explcheck has made the following changes to the document titled
[_Warnings and errors for the expl3 analysis tool_][warnings-and-errors]:

- Remove planned issue W511 (Defined an expandable function as protected), since
it doesn't actually constitute an issue: there are good reasons to protect a
function from expansion, even if it is otherwise expandable. (#213)

#### Housekeeping

This version of explcheck has completed the following housekeeping tasks:

- Reduce repetition in the function `analyze_group_wide_statements()` from
`explcheck-semantic-analysis.lua` by introducing two new mechanisms:
maybe-trackers and statement category lists and indices. (#217)

#### Continuous integration

This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous integration (CI):

- In the CI, force flow analysis for TeX Live 2025 rather than the latest TeX
Live, so that we can compare the diff against our 2025 baselines. (ea03ec0) - In the CI, check that the `lua-toml` submodule is up-to-date even if checking
the `latex3` submodule failed. (340f6bc)
