1.4.1
Changes
1.4.0
Changes
Introduced SMIE indentation mode. It is now the default. The old
behavior can be restored by setting ‘nix-indent-function’ to
indent-relative.
Added the ‘nix-indent-region’ function to indent blocks of Nix
expressions. This can be used as a dumb formatter.
Better testing has been added to make sure we handle more cases of
Nix indentation style.
1.3.0
Added manual.
