1.4.1

Changes

• Made smie-setup optional. Some really large files can take a little bit to load. You can smie by setting nix-mode-use-smie to nil. It is still enabled by default.

• Tweaks to how smie works.

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.

• Added manual.

• Create CHANGELOG.md

New files

1.2.0

New files

• nix-mode-mmm.el: treate multiline strings as sh-script within nix-mode
• nix-repl.el: run nix-repl within Emacs
• nix-prettify-mode.el: shorten store paths to /nix/store/…-foo-0.1
• nix-shell.el: run nix-shell within Emacs

Changes

All of these reflect nix-mode.el and what's been changed from the original nix-mode.el.

• add some simple tests for nix-mode
• handle antiquotes within Nix expressions better
• handle multiline string better
• fixes some edge cases for ''${ (escaped antiquote)
• indent Nix code based on Nix-specific rules (not just indent-relative)
• enforce Nix spacing style rules in nix-mode (2 spaces, no tabs)

Bug fixes

This version fixes the following bugs in the original Nix version:

• fixes the issue where /* by a multiline string is interpreted as a comment (NixOS/nix#662)
• fixes antiquote highlighting within double quotes like x="${asdf}" (NixOS/nix#1055)
• fixes an issue in org-mode fontification of nix files (NixOS/nix#1040)
• Also, should these issues should be closable: NixOS/nix#1419, NixOS/nix#1086, NixOS/nix#1054
