# Changes Log
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1
|
||||
## 2.1 - 2022-06-07
|
||||
|
||||
Upgraded Lua to 5.4, 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.
|
||||
### New Features
|
||||
* Make distinction between
|
||||
[line and block comments](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/771),
|
||||
and added all appropriate functionality to the commenting/uncommenting lines.
|
||||
|
||||
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 dirmonitoring library. We also
|
||||
have a dummy-backend, which reverts transparnetly to scanning if there is some issue with
|
||||
applying OS-level watches (such as system limits).
|
||||
* [Added in line paste mode](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/713),
|
||||
if you copy without a selection.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
* Many [improvements to treeview](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/732),
|
||||
including keyboard navigation of treeview, and ability to specify single vs.
|
||||
double-click behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
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).
|
||||
* Added in [soft line wrapping](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/636)
|
||||
as core plugin, under `linewrapping.lua`, use `F10` to activate.
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
to the commenting/uncommenting lines.
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```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
|
||||
specify single vs. double-click behavior.
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
keymap.add { ["ctrl+shift+3lclick"] = "core:open-log" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Added in soft line wrapping as core plugin, under `linewrapping.lua`, with an
|
||||
F10 to activate.
|
||||
* Improved ability for plugins to be loaded at a given time, by making the
|
||||
convention of defining a config for the plugin using `common.merge` to merge
|
||||
existing hashes together, rather than overwriting.
|
||||
|
||||
Bumped plugin mod-version number, as the rendering interface for docviews has changed.
|
||||
* Releases will now include all language plugins and the
|
||||
[settings gui](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl-plugins/pull/65) plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
Added in meson wraps for freetype, pcre2, and SDL2 which target public, rather than
|
||||
lite-xl maintained repos.
|
||||
* New [core.warn](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/1005) was introduced.
|
||||
|
||||
Added in the ability to set up font fallback groups in the font renderer, if a token
|
||||
doesn't have a corresponding glyph.
|
||||
* Added [suggestions warping](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/1003)
|
||||
for `CommandView`.
|
||||
|
||||
Added in a native plugin interface that allows for C-level interfacing with a
|
||||
statically-linked lite-xl. The implementation of this may change in future.
|
||||
* Allow regexes in tokenizer to
|
||||
[split tokens with group](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/999).
|
||||
|
||||
Improved fuzzy_matching to probably give you something closer to what you're
|
||||
looking for.
|
||||
* Added [settings gui support](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/995)
|
||||
to core plugins.
|
||||
|
||||
Improved handling of alternate keyboard layouts.
|
||||
* Support for [stricter predicates](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/990)
|
||||
by appending a `!`, eg: `"core.docview!"`.
|
||||
|
||||
Improved ability for plugins to be loaded at a given time, by making the convention
|
||||
of defining a config for the plugin use `common.merge` to merge existing hashes
|
||||
together, rather than overwriting.
|
||||
* [UTF8 support in tokenizer](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/945)
|
||||
and new utf8 counter parts of string functions,
|
||||
eg: `string.ulen`, `string.ulower`, etc...
|
||||
|
||||
Added in the ability to specify mouseclicks in the keymap, allowing for easy binds of
|
||||
`ctrl+lclick`, and the like.
|
||||
* Added [utf8 support](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/986) on doc
|
||||
lower and upper commands.
|
||||
|
||||
Changed interface for keyhandling; now, all components should return true if they've
|
||||
handled the event.
|
||||
* Allow syntax patterns to match with the
|
||||
[beginning of the line](https://github.com/lite-xl/lite-xl/pull/860).
|
||||
|
||||
Added in a default keymap for `core:restart`, `ctrl+shift+r`.
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```lua
|
||||
{ pattern = "^my_pattern_starting_at_beginning", type="symbol" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
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).

* Meson improvements which include:
|
