Prolint 69 is ready!
It requires Proparse 3.1a that was released by John two days ago.

This release of Prolint could be aliased as "the OOABL release", because it can analyze every Object Oriented syntax construction. When it analyzes a class, it even looks in inherited classes to take inherited properties and non-private variables from those ancestors into the equation. Try that with grep :-)
But of course Prolint can still run in Progress 9 and analyze "traditional" procedural code as well.

In fact there are some new rules that are usefull for procedural source:
- nestedfunc: it may be a matter of taste but I don't like it when functions are defined inside code blocks. This rule agrees with me.
- incslash and inclowercase: test if the filename in an include directive {dir/file.i} looks like Unix compatible, eg no uppercase and no backslashes

So regardless if you are writing classes or not, upgrade to Prolint soixante-neuf from the download page.
And don't forget to upgrade to Proparse 3.1a first.
