Changelog

master (unreleased)

New features
  • #4156: Add cider-form-targeting: when set to smart, the last-sexp commands (cider-eval-last-sexp, cider-macroexpand-1, cider-inspect-last-sexp, etc.) resolve their target form from the cursor position (on a delimiter, inside a form) instead of requiring point to sit right after it; the default preceding keeps the classic behavior.
  • #4142: Bring CIDER's dynamic font-locking (highlighting REPL-defined macros, functions, vars and deprecated/instrumented/traced symbols) to clojure-ts-mode buffers via tree-sitter; previously it only worked under clojure-mode.
  • #4145: Add cider-preferred-clojure-mode (default auto) controlling which Clojure major mode CIDER uses to font-lock the code it renders (REPL input/results, doc examples, overlays, xref labels, etc.); when set to (or auto-detecting) clojure-ts-mode, those snippets get tree-sitter highlighting instead of clojure-mode's.
  • #4146: Have CIDER's own Clojure display buffers (macroexpansion, evaluation results, tracing) honor cider-preferred-clojure-mode too, so they open in clojure-ts-mode when that's your preference instead of always clojure-mode.
  • #4143: Highlight the #break/#dbg/#light debugging reader tags in clojure-ts-mode buffers too.
  • #4117: Add cider-use-completing-read-for-symbol (off by default): when enabled, symbol prompts (e.g. cider-doc, cider-find-var) read through completing-read over a lazy, runtime-backed collection, so they work with completing-read UIs (Vertico, Ivy, Helm) and annotate candidates with their type and namespace.
  • #4129: Render completion annotations as an aligned type/namespace column (via an affixation-function) in UIs that support it, such as the built-in *Completions*, Corfu and Vertico.
Changes
  • #4160: Stop offering the previous session's port as the cider-connect default when nothing is listening on it anymore; the host is still offered and port inference takes over.
  • #4159: Make cider-default-nrepl-port customizable, keep cider-connect usable when Tramp's ssh-config completion errors, and document how port suggestions are computed in a new "How CIDER Finds Ports" manual section.
  • #4149: Make the nREPL message log easier to reach: add "Show nREPL messages" to the nREPL menu, reflect the logging toggle's on/off state there, and have nrepl-show-messages offer to enable logging when it's off instead of erroring.
Bugs fixed
  • #4158: Detect running lein trampoline REPLs in cider-connect's port suggestions (the trampolined JVM has no "leiningen" marker for the process scan to find), and don't miss REPLs running without a controlling terminal.
  • #4158: Stop discarding .nrepl-port files on systems without lsof (absence of the tool is not evidence the port is dead), and only treat listening sockets as proof of a live server.
  • #4152: Stop the dynamic font-lock locals scanner from treating the default expressions in an :or destructuring clause (e.g. {:keys [x] :or {x (some-default)}}) as local variables, so references there keep their normal highlighting. ... ...
