ted v. 2.9.1

Some small fixes to syntax highlighting:

• /*/ comment */ is now highlighted correctly in relevant languages
• multi-line comments containing // are no longer mis-highlighted in JavaScript
• multi-line things are now correctly highlighted after manual :set-language

ted v. 2.9.0

ted now has support for LSP "code actions" (things like quick-fixing errors, extracting functions, etc.) — default key combination is Alt+Space. Some actions that appear in other editors might be missing in ted because the spec is deliberately unclear on how to implement them properly.* Also some bug fixes/small improvements:

• Document link requests are no longer being spammed 60 times a second at the LSP server when you hold down the activation key
• Document links are now underlined when you hover over them while holding the activation key
• Fixed issue with inotify when multiple events happen in a single frame (probably wasn't causing any problems)
• Fixed a small memory leak
• Fixed issue with parsing of \u sequences in LSP responses that could have led to some weird behaviour

*Their idea, I guess, is that if you maintain a language server, you must also maintain all the plug-ins for every single editor

ted v. 2.8.4

Some small improvements:

• Cursor position is no longer reset when the file is changed externally
• Added syntax highlighting for the upcoming Python 3.14 template strings (t"foo")
• Fix syntax highlighting for HTML tag names containing - (and also some more unusual but legal characters)
• Better highlighting for Markdown links. Now <https://example.com> and [a](https://example.com?q=(a)) are highlighted correctly.
• Fixed bg-shader setting not being applied
• Removed bg-texture setting (obscure feature, required lots o code to support it).

ted v. 2.8.3

Relatively small release with a few improvements:

• Fix odd auto-indent behaviour when there is white space to the right of the cursor (now only the white space before the cursor copied to the next line).
• Update to PCRE2-10.46 (fixes a security bug, but probably no one is pasting random untrusted regexes into a text editor anyways…)
• Recover memory when lines are removed/shortened in a buffer.
• Other minor performance optimizations.

ted v. 2.8.2

A bugfix release

• fix multi-line syntax highlighting being broken after file reload (introduced by 2.8.1)
• fix ted's permissions from being messed up if installing via the .deb installer (turns out dpkg can install files with non-root owners?? and this is done by default if you use dpkg-deb as a non-root user?? who knew!!)

(EDIT: the deb installer is for version "2.8.2b" due to some screwups with the packaging)

ted v. 2.8.1

• This release fixes a long-standing bug where very rarely file contents would get screwed up after an automatic reload. I'm still not sure how that could happen- seems like it must be that the file is edited without its modification time getting updated? Now we use inotify on Linux (in addition to mtime) to fix this. I haven't had this issue on Windows, so this is a Linux-only fix, but it should be possible to use FindFirstChangeNotificationW on Windows if needed.
• Reloading file from disk no longer clears undo history (you can now undo the reload).

ted v. 2.8.0

A relatively small update:

• Syntax highlighting for the Microsoft's C♯ language. Please open an issue if you find any nontrivial errors in the highlighting.
• Syntax highlighting for string interpolation in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and C# — string literals and braces inside of interpolations are not highlighted correctly (e.g. f"my string is {'a'+'b'} and my set is { {1,2} - {3,4} }"), but that's pretty rare anyways.

ted v. 2.7.8

This release fixes a bug where ted would occasionally crash when closing a tab (due to a stale settings pointer).

ted v. 2.7.7

Some small things:

• fixed IDE hover info getting screwed up when you are on not on the first tab in a node
• add support for LSP textDocument/prepareRename request. (this means that the region highlighted when you rename something will be more accurate, and if your cursor is not on a valid rename target, you'll get an error immediately)

ted v. 2.7.6

• Fix a new LSP bug introduced by 2.7.5 (accidentally disabled pretty much all LSP behaviour (i should not try to release a new update late at night…))
