### explcheck v0.17.1

#### Fixes

This version of explcheck has fixed the following bugs:

- Speed up processing steps before flow analysis. (#158..#161, aadd378)

These changes improve processing time by about 15% for an average package file in the current TeX Live, and by up to 300% for large files like `expl3-code.tex`.

#### Documentation

This version of explcheck has made the following improvements to the documentation:

- Specify syntax highlighting for configuration files. (contributed by @muzimuzhi in #157)

#### Continuous integration

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

- Check Lua code using [the Lua Language Server (LuaLS)][LuaLS] in addition to [Luacheck][]. (#161)

[LuaLS]: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server [Luacheck]: https://github.com/mpeterv/luacheck

- Add a 3-minute time limit when running explcheck over the entire TeX Live to prevent excessively long analyses on infinite loops. (#161) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
