 Changes in existing checks
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+- Improved :doc:`cppcoreguidelines-init-variables<clang-tidy/checks/cppcoreguidelines-init-variables>` check.
+
+  Removed generating fixes for enums because the code generated was broken, trying to initialize the enum from an integer.
+
+  The check now also warns for uninitialized scoped enums.
