In this release, refactoring, small bug fixes and minor improvements.
The most noticeable change is internal and also some API breakage,
however functionally speaking everything should stay similar.
What changed:
- new internal API to make it easier to add new commands or new variants of commands
- speed up big query results (e.g. when there are many completion candidates)
- improve error reporting
- tasks can be run synchronously or asynchronously
- support for more than one unsaved buffers
- support new libclang versions
- travis-ci now runs `clang-tidy` on irony-server source files
- completion candidates can be filtered base on availability
API break on completion impacted at least the following project,
which also needs to be updated:
- company-irony
- irony-eldoc
- counsel-irony
Known broken APIs are:
- `irony-completion-candidates-async`: the async callback now takes the
candidates as parameter
- `irony-completion-at-point-async` disappeared,
it should be removed from irony-mode configuration:
;; remove this
(define-key irony-mode-map [remap completion-at-point] 'irony-completion-at-point-async)
The function is no longer needed because `irony-completion-at-point` now works
like one would expect, it request the completion synchronously.
If asynchronous completion is needed, it should be written manually,
but this no longer releated to completion-at-point.
