[gnu-emacs-elpa] / NEWS.md
1 # History of user-visible changes

3 ## Next
4
5 * New face `company-tooltip-annotation-selection`, used for the annotation in
6 the selected tooltip line.
7 * `company-clang-objc-templatify` has been renamed to
8 `company-template-objc-templatify`.
9 * When duplicates are removed, completions without annotations are also removed
10 in favor of completions with equal names that have annotations (experimental
11 change) ([#432](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/432)).
12 * New user option `company-etags-everywhere`.
13 * `company-yasnippet` supports `yas-key-syntaxes` better. But we use them in the
14 reverse order, preferring the longest key prefix that matches anything. And we
15 only consider trigger key prefixes that are at least as long as the symbol at
16 point, which effectively means skipping the `"w"` element
17 ([#422](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/422)).
18 * New user option `company-search-regexp-function`.
19 * Completion is not started automatically when a keyboard macro is being
20 recorded ([#374](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/374)).
21 * New command `company-indent-or-complete-common`.
22 * Backend command `doc-buffer` now can also return a cons of buffer and window
23 start position.
24 * Backend command `ignore-case` has been documented.
25 * `company-template-c-like-templatify` does not replace the default argument
26 values with `argN` anymore
27 ([#336](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/336)). This
28 affects `company-clang` and all third-party backends that use this function.
29 * Likewise for `company-clang-objc-templatify`.
30 * `company-template-add-field` calling convention has changed.
31 * New user option `company-dabbrev-ignore-invisible`.
32 * `company-ropemacs` was removed. `ropemacs` supports completion via
33 `completion-at-point-functions` starting with version 0.8.
34 * `company-pysmell` was removed.
35 * `company-select-next`, `company-select-previous`,
36 `company-select-next-or-abort`, `company-select-previous-or-abort` and
37 `company-complete-common-or-cycle` accept a numeric argument.
38 * The documentation buffer window can be scrolled with the mouse wheel.
39 * New command `company-diag`. Use it in bug reports.
40
41 ## 2015-02-02 (0.8.10)
42
43 * New variable `company-lighter-base`.
44 * Better tracking of the current selection.

52
53 ## 2015-01-13 (0.8.8)
54
55 * Pressing `M-n` or `M-p` doesn't quit the search mode.
56 * New command `company-complete-common-or-cycle`. No default binding.
57 * `company-search-toggle-filtering` replaced `company-search-kill-others`.
58 * Quitting the search mode resets the filtering.
59 * Pressing `backspace` in the search mode deletes the character at the end of
60 the search string.
61 * `company-semantic` displays function arguments as annotations.
62 * New user option, `company-bbdb-modes`.
63 * `company-show-numbers` and `company-complete-number` now use visual numbering
64 of the candidates, taking into account only the ones currently displayed.
65 * `company-complete-number` can be bound to keypad numbers directly, with or
66 without modifiers.
67 * `company-cmake` expands `<LANG>` and `<CONFIG>` placeholders inside variable
68 names.
69
70 ## 2014-10-15 (0.8.6)
71
72 * `company-clang` and `company-template-c-like-templatify` support templated

91 of the `company-minimum-prefix-length` value.
92
93 ## 2014-07-26 (0.8.2)
94
95 * New user option `company-occurrence-weight-function`, allowing to tweak the
96 behavior of the transformer `company-sort-by-occurrence`.

116
117 * `company-capf` is included in `company-backends` in any supported Emacs
118 version (>= 24.1). `company-elisp` goes before it if Emacs version is < 24.4.
119 * New user option `company-clang-insert-arguments`, by default t.
120 * Default value of `company-idle-delay` lowered to `0.5`.

137
138 ## 2014-03-18 (0.7.1)

141 after it to be skipped for prefix calculation.
142 * New function `company-version`.

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

218
219 * Two `company-elisp` tweaks.
220
221 ## 2013-04-01 (0.6.6)
222
223 * `company-elisp` doesn't offer completions when typing the name and the
224 arguments of a new function or macro definition, allowing to fall back to
225 other back-ends like `company-dabbrev-code`.
226
227 ## 2013-03-30 (0.6.5)
228
229 * Fixed keybindings when running in a terminal.
230 * `company-elisp-show-locals-first`: new customizable variable.
231 * `company-elisp` shows more accurate and comprehensive candidates list.
232
233 ## 2013-03-26 (0.6.4)
234
235 * `company-eclim` shows valid completions after an opening paren.
236 * Expanded template does not get removed until the point leaves it. After your
237 input the last argument in a method call expanded by `company-eclim`, you can
238 press `<tab>` once more, to jump after the closing paren. No other bundled
239 back-ends are affected.
240
241 ## 2013-03-25 (0.6.3)
242
243 * New tooltip face colors used on themes with light background.
244 * Pseudo-tooltip stays up-to-date when text is inserted after the point.
245 * Fixed `company-require-match` mechanics.
246
247 ## 2013-03-24 (0.6.2)
248
249 * `global-company-mode` is now autoloaded.
250
251 ## 2013-03-23 (0.6.1)
252
253 * Documented `init` and `post-completion` back-end commands.
254 * `company-eclim` and `company-clang` only expand the template on explicit user
255 action (such as `company-complete-{selection,number,mouse}`).
256 * `company-template` has some breaking changes. When point is at one of the
257 fields, it's displayed at the beginning, not right after it; `<tab>` jumps to
258 the next field, `forward-word` and `subword-forward` remappings are removed;
259 when you jump to the next field, if the current one hasn't been edited, the
260 overlay gets removed but the text remains.
261 * `company-eclim` shows method overloads and expands templates for calls.
262 * `company-clang-objc-templatify` does not insert spaces after colons anymore.
263 * `company-clang` is now only initialized in supported buffers.
264 So, no error messages if you don't have Clang until you open a C file.
265 * `company-clang` recognizes Clang included in recent Xcode.
266 * New commands `company-select-previous-or-abort` and
267 `company-select-next-or-abort`, bound to `<up>` and `<down>`.
268
269 ## 2013-03-19 (0.6)
270
271 * Across-the-board bugfixing.
272 * `company-pysmell` is not used by default anymore.
273 * Loading of `nxml`, `semantic`, `pymacs` and `ropemacs` is now deferred.
274 * Candidates from grouped back-ends are merged more conservatively: only
275 back-ends that return the same prefix at point are used.
276 * `company-clang` now shows meta information, too.
277 * Some performance improvements.
278 * Fixed two old tooltip annoyances.
279 * Instead of `overrriding-terminal-local-map`, we're now using
280 `emulation-mode-map-alists` (experimental). This largely means that when the
281 completion keymap is active, other minor modes' keymaps are still used, so,
282 for example, it's not as easy to accidentally circumvent `paredit-mode`
283 when it's enabled.
284 * `company-elisp` has seen some improvements.
285 * Added `company-capf`: completion adapter using
286 `completion-at-point-functions`. (Stefan Monnier)
287 * Clang completions now include macros and are case-sensitive.
288 * Switching between tag files now works correctly with `company-etags`.
289
290 ## 2010-02-24 (0.5)
291

293 * Added `company-with-candidate-inserted` macro.
294 * Added `company-clang` back-end.
295 * Added new mechanism for non-consecutive insertion.
296 (So far only used by clang for ObjC.)
297 * The semantic back-end now shows meta information for local symbols.
298 * Added compatibility for CEDET in Emacs 23.2 and from CVS. (Oleg Andreev)
299
300 ## 2009-05-07 (0.4.3)
301
302 * Added `company-other-backend`.
303 * Idle completion no longer interrupts multi-key command input.
304 * Added `company-ropemacs` and `company-pysmell` back-ends.
305
306 ## 2009-04-25 (0.4.2)
307
308 * In C modes . and -> now count towards `company-minimum-prefix-length`.
309 * Reverted default front-end back to `company-preview-if-just-one-frontend`.
310 * The pseudo tooltip will no longer be clipped at the right window edge.
311 * Added `company-tooltip-minimum`.
312 * Windows compatibility fixes.
313
314 ## 2009-04-19 (0.4.1)
315
316 * Added `global-company-mode`.
317 * Performance enhancements.
318 * Added `company-eclim` back-end.
319 * Added safer workaround for Emacs `posn-col-row` bug.
320
321 ## 2009-04-18 (0.4)

330
331 * Added 'stop prefix to prevent dabbrev from completing inside of symbols.
332 * Fixed issues with tabbar-mode and line-spacing.
333 * Performance enhancements.
334
335 ## 2009-04-12 (0.3)
336
337 * Added `company-begin-commands` option.
338 * Added abbrev, tempo and Xcode back-ends.

340 * Added `company-begin-with` for starting company from elisp-code.
341 * Added hooks.
342 * Added `company-require-match` and `company-auto-complete` options.
343
344 ## 2009-04-05 (0.2.1)
345
346 * Improved Emacs Lisp back-end behavior for local variables.

363 * Don't hide the echo message if it isn't shown.
364
365 ## 2009-03-20 (0.1)
366
367 * Initial release.
