Sentry 3.1 released!
A new minor release of Sentry, our flagship static code analyzer, is available now!
What's New in Sentry 3.1.0
-
Improved C++11 support: The new C++11 standard has only recently been ratified, but Sentry already supports most of the new language features. Sentry 3.1 adds to this, improving our ability to parse and analyze C++11 programs.
-
Faster Capture: Sentry 3.1 speeds up the process of creating a new project by about 25% on all platforms. Additionally, capture times on Windows systems are cut by over 50% thanks to some efficiency improvements.
-
New Scanner: The new Shadowed Variable scanner looks for variables whose declarations overshadow a previously reachable variable (whether local, global, or at the class level). This plugin identifies all instances of this potentially confusing practice and helps make your code safer more readable.
-
Bug Fixes: While 3.1 includes new features and enhancements, this release also fixes several bugs found in earlier releases. All customers are encouraged to upgrade at their earliest convenience!
