  25   option `company-tooltip-offset-display`.
  26 * The tooltip front-end is rendered with margins, controlled by the user option

  30
  31 * Experimental support for non-prefix completion.
  32 * Starting with Emacs version 24.4, `company-capf` is included in

  40 * Futher improvement in `org-indent-mode` compatibility.
  41
  42 ## 2013-08-18 (0.6.11)
  43
  44 * `company-template-c-like-templatify` removes all text after closing paren, for
  45   use in backends that display additional info there.
  46 * `company-cmake` is now bundled.
  47 * Better `linum` compatibility in Emacs <= 24.2.
  48 * `company-global-modes`: New option.
  49

  55 ## 2013-05-10 (0.6.9)
  56
  57 * `company-capf` respects `:exit-function` completion property.

  59 * `company-clang-begin-after-member-access`: New option.
  60 * Mouse click outside the tooltip aborts completion.
  61 * `company-clang` uses standard input to pass the contents of current buffer to
  62   Clang 2.9+, otherwise saves the buffer and passes the path to the file.
  63 * `company-clang-auto-save` option has been removed.
  64 * Better interaction with `outline-minor-mode`.
  65 * `company-dabbrev-code` supports all `prog-mode` derivatives.
  66
  67 ## 2013-04-16 (0.6.8)
  68
  69 * `company-auto-complete` is disabled by default.
  70 * `company-auto-complete-chars` default value includes fewer syntax classes.
  71 * In expanded function calls, arguments skipped by the user default to "argN".
  72 * `company-eclim` and `company-clang` do not strip argument types from fields.
  73 * `company-clang` expands function calls for all three modes now.
  74 * `company-clang` supports `c++-mode` by default.
  75
  76 ## 2013-04-05 (0.6.7)
  77
  78 * Two `company-elisp` tweaks.
  79
  80 ## 2013-04-01 (0.6.6)
  81
  82 * `company-elisp` doesn't offer completions when typing the name and the
  83   arguments of a new function or macro definition, allowing to fall back to
  84   other back-ends like `company-dabbrev-code`.
  85
  86 ## 2013-03-30 (0.6.5)
  87
  88 * Fixed keybindings when running in a terminal.
  89 * `company-elisp-show-locals-first`: new customizable variable.
  90 * `company-elisp` shows more accurate and comprehensive candidates list.
  91
  92 ## 2013-03-26 (0.6.4)
  93
  94 * `company-eclim` shows valid completions after an opening paren.
  95 * Expanded template does not get removed until the point leaves it.  After your
  96   input the last argument in a method call expanded by `company-eclim`, you can
  97   press `<tab>` once more, to jump after the closing paren.  No other bundled
  98   back-ends are affected.
  99
 100 ## 2013-03-25 (0.6.3)
 101
 102 * New tooltip face colors used on themes with light background.
 103 * Pseudo-tooltip stays up-to-date when text is inserted after the point.
 104 * Fixed `company-require-match` mechanics.
 105
 106 ## 2013-03-24 (0.6.2)
 107
 108 * `global-company-mode` is now autoloaded.
 109
 110 ## 2013-03-23 (0.6.1)
 111
 112 * Documented `init` and `post-completion` back-end commands.
 113 * `company-eclim` and `company-clang` only expand the template on explicit user
 114   action (such as `company-complete-{selection,number,mouse}`).
 115 * `company-template` has some breaking changes.  When point is at one of the
 116   fields, it's displayed at the beginning, not right after it; `<tab>` jumps to
 117   the next field, `forward-word` and `subword-forward` remappings are removed;
 118   when you jump to the next field, if the current one hasn't been edited, the
 119   overlay gets removed but the text remains.
 120 * `company-eclim` shows method overloads and expands templates for calls.
 121 * `company-clang-objc-templatify` does not insert spaces after colons anymore.
 122 * `company-clang` is now only initialized in supported buffers.
 123   So, no error messages if you don't have Clang until you open a C file.
 124 * `company-clang` recognizes Clang included in recent Xcode.
 125 * New commands `company-select-previous-or-abort` and
 126   `company-select-next-or-abort`, bound to `<up>` and `<down>`.
 127
 128 ## 2013-03-19 (0.6)
 129
 130 * Across-the-board bugfixing.
 131 * `company-pysmell` is not used by default anymore.
 132 * Loading of `nxml`, `semantic`, `pymacs` and `ropemacs` is now deferred.
 133 * Candidates from grouped back-ends are merged more conservatively: only
 134   back-ends that return the same prefix at point are used.
 135 * `company-clang` now shows meta information, too.
 136 * Some performance improvements.
 137 * Fixed two old tooltip annoyances.
 138 * Instead of `overrriding-terminal-local-map`, we're now using
 139   `emulation-mode-map-alists` (experimental).  This largely means that when the
 140   completion keymap is active, other minor modes' keymaps are still used, so,
 141   for example, it's not as easy to accidentally circumvent `paredit-mode`
 142   when it's enabled.
 143 * `company-elisp` has seen some improvements.
 144 * Added `company-capf`: completion adapter using
 145   `completion-at-point-functions`.  (Stefan Monnier)
 146 * Clang completions now include macros and are case-sensitive.
 147 * Switching between tag files now works correctly with `company-etags`.
 148
 149 ## 2010-02-24 (0.5)
 150
 151 * `company-ropemacs` now provides location and docs.  (Fernando H. Silva)
 152 * Added `company-with-candidate-inserted` macro.
 153 * Added `company-clang` back-end.
 154 * Added new mechanism for non-consecutive insertion.
 155   (So far only used by clang for ObjC.)
 156 * The semantic back-end now shows meta information for local symbols.
 157 * Added compatibility for CEDET in Emacs 23.2 and from CVS.  (Oleg Andreev)
 158
 159 ## 2009-05-07 (0.4.3)
 160
 161 * Added `company-other-backend`.
 162 * Idle completion no longer interrupts multi-key command input.
 163 * Added `company-ropemacs` and `company-pysmell` back-ends.
 164
 165 ## 2009-04-25 (0.4.2)
 166
 167 * In C modes . and -> now count towards `company-minimum-prefix-length`.
 168 * Reverted default front-end back to `company-preview-if-just-one-frontend`.
 169 * The pseudo tooltip will no longer be clipped at the right window edge.
 170 * Added `company-tooltip-minimum`.
 171 * Windows compatibility fixes.
 172
 173 ## 2009-04-19 (0.4.1)
 174

 181
 182 * Automatic completion is now aborted if the prefix gets too short.

 184 * `company-backends` now supports merging back-ends.
 185 * Added back-end `company-dabbrev-code` for generic code.
 186 * Fixed `company-begin-with`.
 187
 188 ## 2009-04-15 (0.3.1)
 189
 190 * Added 'stop prefix to prevent dabbrev from completing inside of symbols.
 191 * Fixed issues with tabbar-mode and line-spacing.
 192 * Performance enhancements.
 193
 194 ## 2009-04-12 (0.3)
 195
 196 * Added `company-begin-commands` option.
 197 * Added abbrev, tempo and Xcode back-ends.
