dexed/CHANGELOG.md

v3.9.4-dev

Enhancements

• D highlighter: highlight @() just like @Identifier ans skipping the enclosed content. Nested @() are still not handled.

Bugs fixed

• GDB commander: automatic break on exception did not work if the cprogram was compiled with LDC2. (#41)
• GDB commander: expressions obtained by mouse motion were not correct when the source used tabulations to indent. (#42)
• Messages: force auto scrolling to bottom once and if the messages context is modified.
• Terminal: after launching dexed, the current directory was not constrained even when the settings to follow the current project or document path were activated. (#5)

v3.9.3

Enhancements

• Messages: only auto scroll on new message if the bottom-most message is in view, like in terminal emulators. (#39)
• Messages: enhanced detection patterns to open a file from a message. The new detections are for messages containing a filename of the project, relative to src or src instead of the project root directory.

Bugs fixed

• libdexed-d: reduce memory usage caused by D allocations. (#38)

v3.9.2

Regressions

• Symbol list: performance regression, async behavior is now emulated with threads. (#35)
• Todolist: performance regression, async behavior is now emulated with threads. (#35)
• Todolist: small non growing leak introduced in v3.9.0

Bugs fixed

• Editor, Diff: the button used to "reload from disk and reset the history" didn't work.

v3.9.1

Bugs fixed

• Other: Sigsegv upon starting dexed. (#33)
• Other: the setting files could be corrupted when values contained mutli-bytes UTF-8 characters. (#19)
• installers: fix the rpm package since it required a dependency specific to the gitlab runner used to release.

Other

• installers: adjusted the .deb package to make it compatible with both Debian and Ubuntu. (#33)

v3.9.0

Enhancements

• D highlighter: added suport for HEREDOC string literald of type q"()" q"[]", q"<>" and q"{}". Support for HEREDOC based on a custom delimiter wont be added as they might be removed as per DIP 1026.
• Docking: added a dialog to remind that docking is locked in certain scenarios. (#30)
• Editor: the option to detect the indentation is activated by default, to prevent mixed indentation style.
• Editor: a fourth button in the diff dialog allows to reload but without preserving the undo history, which is better when using go to next changed area and go to prev changed area to navigate in the editor.
• Search Replace: the result of FindAll when the string to search is not a trivial regular expression are also highlighted. (#14)
• TODO list: a new option, disableIfMoreFilesThan, allows to disable auto refreshing of the list could be slow when the current project is huge.

Bugs fixed

• DUB projects: dependencies specified with path and with their sources located in "src" or "source" were not passed correctly to DCD. (#29)
• DUB projects: dependencies specified with path are recognized when their sources are in a sub folder taking as name the package name. (#29)
• DUB runnables: document specific messages were not cleared between two calls to "Run DUB single file package". (#27)
• Editor: case where brace auto close is triggered while in comment. (#31)
• Editor: prevent unexpected validation of properties in certain cases, such as a.map giving a.mangleof! after !.

Other

• Toolchain: removed the background tool dastworx and replaced it with a statically linked shared library called libdexed-d.
• Toolchain: ddemangle is not required anymore, demangling of D names now happens in libdexed-d.

v3.8.4

Bugs fixed

• Editor, calltips: problem when the function parameter included type constructors. (#26)

Other

• Project CI: extraction of the changelog didn't work properly.

v3.8.3

• Custom tools: A new Toolbar button has for effect to terminate the process associated to a tool. (#15)
• Messages, added an option, enabled by default, allowing to highlight the blocks enclosed by backticks. This works for the "find all" action, the compiler output, the custom tools output, etc. (#13)

Bugs fixed

• Editor, Calltips: the position of the window was incorrect when the arguments stood on several lines. (#10)
• Terminal, UI: the scrollbar lacked of accuracy. (#11)

Other

• project CI: the release process is now fully automated, allowing painless and more frequent releases.

v3.8.1

• dummy release

v3.8.0

Enhancements

• Compiler paths: added the "global" compiler. It allows to quickly set the compiler used whatever is the context.
• Compiler paths: the editors for LDC and GDC are less confusing now, since only one path is needed to specify the std/core paths, unlike for DMD.
• Editor, Calltips: in the call tips window, the parameter being edited is highlighted. Note that stacking of calltips in nested function calls is for now removed.
• GDB commander, editor, linux: it is now possible to inspect the variables in a tooltip window displayed when moving the mouse in the code editor.
• Messages: added support for GNU type messages. Note that the detection of the type (GNU or legacy DMD) is dynamic.
• MRUs: added an option preventing to remove non existing items, which used to be problematic when using git branches.
• Terminal, UI: added scrollbar.

Bugs fixed

• Application, energy consumption: damped a small but constant CPU load, even on idle, caused by several timers.
• DUB project editor: it was possible to add a property twice.
• Editor: possible range violation when trying to rename an editor past the EOL.
• GDB Commander: no scrollbar in the variable inspector.
• Main menu: shortcuts for the tools not updated after editing the options.
• Terminal: clearing a temporary line because of automatic check dir caused a reset, clearing the backbuffer.

Other

• the documentation is updated to be rendered by Gitlab CI or locally, with pandoc.
• windows binaries are not provided anymore.
