Release v0.15.0

Improvements

• This is the first release supporting Elixir 1.15. See 898 for details
• Main distribution mode switched to Mix.install script. This allows running ElixirLS built with a correct combination of OTP and elixir. Previously used .ez releases suffered from numerous problems stemming from version incompatibilities (e.g. 193)
• elixir_sense replaced many of its custom source parsing internals with elixir 1.13+ Code.Fragment APIs
• require and import are now understood by elixir_sense. This improves accuracy of definition, hover, references and complete providers. For example only imports matching only and except options will now be suggested by complete provider.
• When accepting a completion with a not required macro a require directive will be now added to module.
• Reimplemented use macro expansion. This should improve accuracy.
• Better handling of typespecs in elixir_sense. This should improve accuracy in modules with defs and types sharing the same name.
• Added ability to pass command line options to elixir and erlang via ELS_ELIXIR_OPTS and ELS_ERL_OPTS. This allows for setting a node name and connecting remotely to language server and debugger.

Fixes

• Fixed a longstanding bug with formatter not respecting .formatter.exs when code is compiling (requires elixir 1.15) Thomas Depierre
• Fixed invalid alias handling with submodules

Breaking changes and deprecations

• Elixir 1.12 is no longer supported
• .ez archive based distribution is now deprecated

Release v0.14.6

Improvements

• added option elixirLS.autoInsertRequiredAlias controlling if complete provider
  will auto insert aliases Zeke Dou

Fixes

• Pin elixir_sense, dialyxir and jason versions to ensure compatibility
• Reduce long file names. This should fix compilation issues on some filesystems
• Fixed crash in dialyzer

Release v0.14.5

Fixes

• Fixed regression in debugger not respecting MIX_ENV and MIX_TARGET
• Silence output from dialyxir making client disconnect from the server on elixir < 1.14
• Avoid serializing PID to JSON

Release v0.14.4

Fixes

• Fixed invalid encoding of messages with unicode strings. This should resolve issues when starting the server in in non-ASCII path

Release v0.14.3

Fixes

• Fixed compatibility with elixir 1.12 and 1.13 Maciej Szlosarczyk

Release v0.14.2

Fixes

• Print correct version

Release v0.14.1

Hotfix release fixing mix crash

Release v0.14.0

Improvements

• Numerous improvements to variable tracking. This should make navigation to variable definition and references work correctly Samuel Hełdak
• Doctests can now be run via Test UI Carl-Foster
• Fixed completions of records defined in the same file
• Fixed support for alias __MODULE__
• Silent crashes in dialyzer fixed
• Document symbol provider now does not crash on incomplete typespec
• Debugger now properly tracks running processes. Previously UI was not updated when new processes start or running not monitored processes exit
• Debugger now respects MIX_TARGET environment variable
• Undefined function diagnostics no longer emitted from mix.exs dependencies. Elixir mix swallows those warnings since 1.10
• Builds now use --all-warnings flag on mix compile. This should result in more predictable diagnostics in umbrella apps.
• Completion provider returns typespecs for struct properties in documentation if struct module defines type t()
• Debugger now returns type of breakpoint in the hit event as required by DAP
• Fixed crash when elixir-ls is run in a directory without mix.exs
• References provider now can find references to elixir modules. Previously modules were found only when a function or macro from that module was called
• Typespecs from behaviour module are used on callback implementations in completions, hover and specification providers
• @after_verify attribute added in elixir 1.14 is recognized as builtin
• Fixed edge cases when private def would overshadow a public one
• Quoted expressions are now skipped when code AST is analyzed. There is low chance anything useful can be extracted from them
• Submodule implicit alias behavior is now correctly implemented. This should improve quality in various providers
• Fixed crash in references provider when reference does not have a line (e.g. in phoenix live views)

Refactorings

• Mix Formatter now properly formats elixir-ls code from the top directory
• Major refactoring of elixir-ls server driven by Steve Cohen is under way. It's not yet complete and can be tested by enabling experimental server. Thanks to others involved (Scott Ming, Samuel Hełdak)
• Language server now runs with consolidated protocols. Consolidation is disabled on each build with --no-protocol-consolidation flag on mix compile. This should make the server faster. The side effect is more protocol consolidation warnings printed to the console on elixir < 1.14.

Deprecations

• This is the last release supporting elixir 1.12

Release v0.13.0

Improvements

• Completions now return LSP 3.17 labelDetails. This allows to provide more contextual detais to completion items
• Protocol implementations are no longer auto aliased
• Completions requiring auto aliasing are deprioretized and visually marked
• Optimisation of references tracing. It should make difference especially in macro heavy modules (e.g. Absinthe schemas)
• Improvements to dependency reloading on switching branches.
• Improved compatibility on Windows
• Definitions provider improved handling of multiline variables timgent
• Definitions provider now finds correct arity function timgent

Refactorings

• CI pipeline now runs on Windows and Linux

Deprecations

• Minimum version of Elixir is now 1.12.3
• docsh fallback for erlang documentation removed. EEP 48 is supported on OTP 23+
• Code action prefixing unused variables with _ has been removed due to various problems
