   5 * Candidates from grouped back-ends are retrieved more accurately: each
   6   `candidates` command receives in the second argument the respective value the
   7   back-end returned to the `prefix` command.
   8 * `company-auto-complete` is disabled by default.
   9 * `company-auto-complete-chars` default value includes fewer syntax classes.
  10 * In expanded function calls, arguments skipped by the user default to "argN".
  11 * `company-eclim` and `company-clang` do not strip argument types from fields.
  12 * `company-clang` expands function calls for all three modes now.
  13 * `company-clang` supports `c++-mode` by default.
  14
  15 ## 2013-04-01 (0.6.7)
  16
  17 * Two `company-elisp` tweaks.
  18
  19 ## 2013-04-01 (0.6.6)
  20
  21 * `company-elisp` doesn't offer completions when typing the name and the
  22   arguments of a new function or macro definition, allowing to fall back to
  23   other back-ends like `company-dabbrev-code`.
  24
  25 ## 2013-03-30 (0.6.5)
  26
  27 * Fixed keybindings when running in a terminal.
  28 * `company-elisp-show-locals-first`: new customizable variable.
  29 * `company-elisp` shows more accurate and comprehensive candidates list.
  30
  31 ## 2013-03-26 (0.6.4)
  32
  33 * `company-eclim` shows valid completions after an opening paren.
  34 * Expanded template does not get removed until the point leaves it.  After your
  35   input the last argument in a method call expanded by `company-eclim`, you can
  36   press `<tab>` once more, to jump after the closing paren.  No other bundled
  37   back-ends are affected.
  38
  39 ## 2013-03-25 (0.6.3)
  40
  41 * New tooltip face colors used on themes with light background.
  42 * Pseudo-tooltip stays up-to-date when text is inserted after the point.
  43 * Fixed `company-require-match` mechanics.
  44
  45 ## 2013-03-24 (0.6.2)
  46
  47 * `global-company-mode` is now autoloaded.
  48
  49 ## 2013-03-23 (0.6.1)
  50
  51 * Documented `init` and `post-completion` back-end commands.
  52 * `company-eclim` and `company-clang` only expand the template on explicit user
  53   action (such as `company-complete-{selection,number,mouse}`).
  54 * `company-template` has some breaking changes.  When point is at one of the
  55   fields, it's displayed at the beginning, not right after it; `<tab>` jumps to
  56   the next field, `forward-word` and `subword-forward` remappings are removed;
  57   when you jump to the next field, if the current one hasn't been edited, the
  58   overlay gets removed but the text remains.
  59 * `company-eclim` shows method overloads and expands templates for calls.
  60 * `company-clang-objc-templatify` does not insert spaces after colons anymore.
  61 * `company-clang` is now only initialized in supported buffers.
  62   So, no error messages if you don't have Clang until you open a C file.
  63 * `company-clang` recognizes Clang included in recent Xcode.
  64 * New commands `company-select-previous-or-abort` and
  65   `company-select-next-or-abort`, bound to `<up>` and `<down>`.
  66
  67 ## 2013-03-19 (0.6)
  68
  69 * Across-the-board bugfixing.
  70 * `company-pysmell` is not used by default anymore.
  71 * Loading of `nxml`, `semantic`, `pymacs` and `ropemacs` is now deferred.
  72 * Candidates from grouped back-ends are merged more conservatively: only
  73   back-ends that return the same prefix at point are used.
  74 * `company-clang` now shows meta information, too.
  75 * Some performance improvements.
  76 * Fixed two old tooltip annoyances.
  77 * Instead of `overrriding-terminal-local-map`, we're now using
  78   `emulation-mode-map-alists` (experimental).  This largely means that when the
  79   completion keymap is active, other minor modes' keymaps are still used, so,
  80   for example, it's not as easy to accidentally circumvent `paredit-mode`
  81   when it's enabled.
  82 * `company-elisp` has seen some improvements.
  83 * Added `company-capf`: completion adapter using
  84   `completion-at-point-functions`.  (Stefan Monnier)
  85 * Clang completions now include macros and are case-sensitive.
  86 * Switching between tag files now works correctly with `company-etags`.
  87
  88 ## 2010-02-24 (0.5)
  89
  90 * `company-ropemacs` now provides location and docs.  (Fernando H. Silva)
  91 * Added `company-with-candidate-inserted` macro.
  92 * Added `company-clang` back-end.
  93 * Added new mechanism for non-consecutive insertion.
  94   (So far only used by clang for ObjC.)
  95 * The semantic back-end now shows meta information for local symbols.
  96 * Added compatibility for CEDET in Emacs 23.2 and from CVS.  (Oleg Andreev)
  97
  98 ## 2009-05-07 (0.4.3)
  99
 100 * Added `company-other-backend`.
 101 * Idle completion no longer interrupts multi-key command input.
 102 * Added `company-ropemacs` and `company-pysmell` back-ends.
 103
 104 ## 2009-04-25 (0.4.2)
 105
 106 * In C modes . and -> now count towards `company-minimum-prefix-length`.
 107 * Reverted default front-end back to `company-preview-if-just-one-frontend`.
 108 * The pseudo tooltip will no longer be clipped at the right window edge.
 109 * Added `company-tooltip-minimum`.
 110 * Windows compatibility fixes.
 111
 112 ## 2009-04-19 (0.4.1)
 113
 114 * Added `global-company-mode`.
 115 * Performance enhancements.
 116 * Added `company-eclim` back-end.
 117 * Added safer workaround for Emacs `posn-col-row` bug.
 118
 119 ## 2009-04-18 (0.4)
 120
 121 * Automatic completion is now aborted if the prefix gets too short.
 122 * Added option `company-dabbrev-time-limit`.
 123 * `company-backends` now supports merging back-ends.
 124 * Added back-end `company-dabbrev-code` for generic code.
 125 * Fixed `company-begin-with`.
 126
 127 ## 2009-04-15 (0.3.1)
 128
 129 * Added 'stop prefix to prevent dabbrev from completing inside of symbols.
 130 * Fixed issues with tabbar-mode and line-spacing.
 131 * Performance enhancements.
 132
 133 ## 2009-04-12 (0.3)
 134
 135 * Added `company-begin-commands` option.
 136 * Added abbrev, tempo and Xcode back-ends.

 138 * Added `company-begin-with` for starting company from elisp-code.
 139 * Added hooks.
 140 * Added `company-require-match` and `company-auto-complete` options.

 161 * Don't hide the echo message if it isn't shown.
 162

 164
 165 * Initial release.
