## v5.9.1

## :hammer_and_wrench: Bugfixes

-   [bugfix] Removed extraneous deprecation warning produced when using `tslint:recommended` or `tslint:latest` by disabling `typeof-compare` in these rulesets. (#3639)
-   [bugfix] Resolve directories as absolute paths when validating custom `rulesDirectory` paths, which fixes usage with tslint-loader. (#3640)

## v5.9.0

## :warning: Deprecations

-   [deprecation] Several utility functions from `src/language/utils.ts` have been deprecated (#3476)
-   [deprecation] Linting non-existent files now outputs a warning. This will be an error in TSLint 6. (#3313)

## Configuration inheritance changes

Significant changes have been made to configuration inheritance to address a long-standing UX issue around `defaultSeverity`: #2569.

`defaultSeverity` defined in a `tslint.json` file will now override the `defaultSeverity` value defined in any configurations you are extending.
This means that any rules specified in the base configurations can now take on a new `defaultSeverity` if you so choose. If you extend multiple
configuration files, the `defaultSeverity` defined in the last one wins.

In practice, this allows users to, for example, more easily use the built-in TSLint configurations (`tslint:recommended`, `tslint:latest`, `tslint:all`)
and treat all errors as warnings instead of errors.

For more details, see the relevant PRs:

-   Override `defaultSeverity` defined in extended configs (#3449)
-   Inherit defaultSeverity and apply it to preceding base configs (#3530)

## v5.0.0

## :fire: Breaking changes

-   Minimum version of TypeScript version is now 2.1.0 (#2425)
-   The severity level of rules are now configurable and defaults to severity "error". This affects the output of formatters:
    -   [formatter] `msbuild` was outputting all failures as "warning".
    -   [formatter] `pmd` was outputting all failures as priority 1. Now, it uses _priority 3_ for "error" (default) and _priority 4_ for "warning"
-   [formatter] `json` changed the `fix` property to now contain either one replacement or an array of replacements (#2403)
-   `tslint:recommended` configuration updated with `tslint:latest` rules & options (#2424)
-   Removed `no-unused-new` rule, with logic moved into `no-unused-expression` (#2269)
-   `no-trailing-whitespace` now checks template strings by default. Use the new options `ignore-template-strings` to restore the old behavior. (#2359)

### API breaks for custom rules

-   Removed method `skip` from `RuleWalker` (#2313)
-   Removed all use of the TypeScript Language Service, use only Program APIs instead (#2235)

    -   This means that some rules that previously worked without the type checker _now require it_. This includes:

        -   `no-unused-variable`
        -   `no-use-before-declare`

    -   This breaks custom rule compilation. If your rule was not using the `ts.LanguageService` APIs, the migration is quite simple:

    ```diff
    - public applyWithProgram(srcFile: ts.SourceFile, langSvc: ts.LanguageService): Lint.RuleFailure[] {
    -     return this.applyWithWalker(new Walker(srcFile, this.getOptions(), langSvc.getProgram()));
    + public applyWithProgram(srcFile: ts.SourceFile, program: ts.Program): Lint.RuleFailure[] {
    +     return this.applyWithWalker(new Walker(srcFile, this.getOptions(), program));
    ```

    -   N.B. If you are refactoring your custom rules, consider [these performance tips for writing custom rules](https://palantir.github.io/tslint/develop/custom-rules/performance.html).

-   Removed `createFix`. Replacements should be passed directly into addFailure. (#2403)
-   Removed deprecated `scanAllTokens` and `skippableTokenAwareRuleWalker` (#2370)

## :tada: Notable features & enhancements

-   [feature] The severity level of rules are now individually configurable. Default severity can also be configured. (#629, #345)

    -   Valid values for `severity`: `default` | `error | warn | warning | none | off`
    -   Valid values for `defaultSeverity`: `error | warn | warning | none | off`
    -   Old style:

    ```json
    {
        "extends": "tslint:latest",
        "rules": {
            "callable-types": true,
            "max-line-length": [true, 140]
        }
    }
    ```

    -   New style (in this example, `callable-types` outputs errors and `max-line-length` outputs warnings):

    ```json
    {
        "extends": "tslint:latest",
        "defaultSeverity": "error",
        "rules": {
            "callable-types": true,
            "max-line-length": {
                "options": 140,
                "severity": "warning"
            }
        }
    }
    ```
