Nice, we'd like to see this fixed as well.
This is a showstopper for us as we use whitespaces to clearify the
code.
Thanks

YES!! My project director just decided to use this against all our
code and stripping out all the blank lines has me all in a tizzy. I
agree with the above statement that code all squashed together is not
beautiful!
Thanks,
Alan

I agree that newlines should not be stripped. This is a total
deal-breaker for me. Code without blank lines is not more beautiful.

I agree. The removal of all blank lines is very difficult to read.

Yes! I can't believe this option is not part of this package already;
while correcting indentation certainly helps make a code file more
readable, stripping out all the empty lines can make it worse than the
original! I agree there should be a way to preserve newlines in the file
and specify a maximum number of consecutive newlines (IE empty lines).
