### 2.1 ## 2.1 - 2022-06-07
Upgraded Lua to 5.4, which should improve performance, and provide useful extra functionality. ### New Features

FreeBSD; and any other system that uses `kqueue` as their dirmonitoring library. We also
have a dummy-backend, which reverts transparnetly to scanning if there is some issue with

Removed `reproc` and replaced this with a simple POSIX/Windows implementation in `process.c`. * Added in [soft line wrapping](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/636)

performance (startup time of subprocesses is noticeably shorter), and simplicity
(we no longer have to link reproc, or winsock, on windows).
Split out `Node` and `EmptyView` into their own lua files, for plugin extensibility reasons. * Revamped [StatusView](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/852) API with
new features that include:
Revamped StatusView API, so that plugins can more easily coexist with each other. * Support for predicates, click actions, tooltips on item hover
and custom drawing of added items.
* Hide items that are too huge by rendering with clip_rect.
* Ability to drag or scroll the left or right if too many items to display.
* New status bar commands accessible from the command palette that
include: toggling status bar visibility, toggling specific item visibility,
enable/disable status messages, etc...
Removed `cp_replace`, and replaced this with a core plugin, `drawwhitespace.lua`. * Added `renderer.font.group` interface to set up
[font fallback groups](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/616) in
the font renderer, if a token doesn't have a corresponding glyph.
Made distinction between line and block comments, and added all appropriate functionality **Example:**
to the commenting/uncommenting lines. ```lua
local emoji_font = renderer.font.load(USERDIR .. "/fonts/NotoEmoji-Regular.ttf", 15 * SCALE)
local nonicons = renderer.font.load(USERDIR .. "/fonts/nonicons.ttf", 15 * SCALE)
style.code_font = renderer.font.group({style.code_font, nonicons, emoji_font})
```
Added in line paste mode, if you copy without a selection. * Added in the ability to specify
[mouse clicks](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/589) in the
keymap, allowing for easy binds of `ctrl+lclick`, and the like.
May improvements to treeview, including keyboard navigation of treeview, and ability to **Example:**
specify single vs. double-click behavior. ```lua
keymap.add { ["ctrl+shift+3lclick"] = "core:open-log" }
```

```
Many, many, many more changes that are too numerous to list. * [Add View:on_file_dropped](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/845).
### 2.0.5 * Implemented new function to retrieve current process id of lite-xl
[system.get_process_id()](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/833).
* [Allow functions in keymap](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/948).
* [Add type ahead to CommandView](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/963).
* Add syntax symbols to
[auto-complete](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/913).
* Add [animation categories](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/941)
to enable finer transitions control.
* Added in a [native plugin](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/527)
interface that allows for C-level interfacing with a statically-linked
lite-xl. The implementation of this may change in future.
* Config: added new development option to prevent plugin version checking at
startup named [skip_plugins_version](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/879)
### Backward Incompatible Changes
* Bumped plugin mod-version number as various interfaces like: `DocView`,
`StatusView` and `CommandView` have changed which should require a revision
from plugin developers to make sure their plugins work with this new release.
* Changed interface for key handling; now, all components should return true if
they've handled the event.
* For plugin developers, declaring config options by directly assigning
to the plugin table (eg: `config.plugins.plugin_name.myvalue = 10`) was
deprecated in favor of using `common.merge`
**Example:**
```lua
config.plugins.autowrap = common.merge({
enabled = false,
files = { "%.md$", "%.txt$" }
}, config.plugins.autowrap)
```
* The `font.set_size` function was dropped in favor of `font.copy`.
* `DocView:draw_text_line` and related functions been used by plugin developers
require a revision, since some of this interfaces were updated to support
line wrapping.
* Removed `cp_replace`, and replaced this with a core plugin,
[drawwhitespace.lua](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/908).
### Deprecated Features
* For plugins the usage of the `--lite-xl` version tag was dropped
in favor of `--mod-version`.
* Overriding `StatusView:get_items()` has been deprecated in favor of
the new dedicated interface to insert status bar items:
**New Interface:**
```lua
------@return StatusView.Item
function StatusView:add_item(
predicate, name, alignment, getitem, command, pos, tooltip
) end
```
**Example:**
```lua
core.status_view:add_item(
nil,
"status:memory-usage",
StatusView.Item.RIGHT,
function()
return {
style.text,
string.format(
"%.2f MB",
(math.floor(collectgarbage("count") / 10.24) / 100)
)
}
end,
nil,
1,
"lua memory usage"
).separator = core.status_view.separator2
```
* [CommandView:enter](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/1004) now accepts
a single options table as a parameter, meaning that the old way of calling
this function will now show a deprecation message.
**Example:**
```lua
core.command_view:enter("Title", {
submit = function() end,
suggest = function() return end,
cancel = function() end,
validate = function() return true end,
typeahead = true,
wrap = true
})
```
### Other Changes
* [Upgraded Lua to 5.4](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/781), which
should improve performance, and provide useful extra functionality. It should
also be more available out of the box with most modern
linux/unix-based package managers.
* Removed `dmon`, and implemented independent backends for dirmonitoring. Also
more cleanly split out dirmonitoring into its own class in lua, from core.init.
We should now support FreeBSD; and any other system that uses `kqueue` as
their dir monitoring library. We also have a dummy-backend, which reverts
transparently to scanning if there is some issue with applying OS-level
watches (such as system limits).
* Removed `libagg` and the font renderer; compacted all font rendering into a
single renderer.c file which uses `libfreetype` directly. Now allows for ad-hoc
bolding, italics, and underlining of fonts.
* Removed `reproc` and replaced this with a simple POSIX/Windows implementation
in `process.c`. This allows for greater tweakability (i.e. we can now `break`
for debugging purposes), performance (startup time of subprocesses is
noticeably shorter), and simplicity (we no longer have to link reproc, or
winsock, on windows).
* [Split out `Node` and `EmptyView`](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/715)
into their own lua files, for plugin extensibility reasons.
* Improved fuzzy_matching to probably give you something closer to what you're
looking for.
* Improved handling of alternate keyboard layouts.
* Added in a default keymap for `core:restart`, `ctrl+shift+r`.
* Improvements to the [C and C++](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/875)
syntax files.
* Improvements to [markdown](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/862)
syntax file.
* [Improvements to borderless](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/994)
mode on Windows
* Fixed a bunch of problems relating to
[multi-cursor](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/886).
* [Performance improvement](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/883)
of detect indent plugin.
* NagView: [support vscroll](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/876) when
message is too long.
* Meson improvements which include:
* Added in meson wraps for freetype, pcre2, and SDL2 which target public,
rather than lite-xl maintained repos.
* [Seperate dirmonitor logic](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/866),
add build time detection of features.
* Add [fallbacks](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/798) to all
common dependencies.
* [Update SDL to 2.0.20](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/884).
* install [docs/api](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/979) to datadir
for lsp support.
* Always check if the beginning of the
[text needs to be clipped](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/871).
* Added [git commit](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/859)
on development builds.
* Update [autocomplete](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/832)
with changes needed for latest LSP plugin.
* Use SDL to manage color format mapping in

* Core: fixes and changes to
[temp file](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/906) functions.
* [Added plugin load-time log](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/966).
* Improved [tokenizer performance](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/896).
* Many, many, many more changes that are too numerous to list.
