master (unreleased)
New features
- #4156: Add
cider-form-targeting: when set tosmart, thelast-sexpcommands (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 defaultprecedingkeeps the classic behavior. - #4142: Bring CIDER's dynamic font-locking (highlighting REPL-defined macros, functions, vars and deprecated/instrumented/traced symbols) to
clojure-ts-modebuffers via tree-sitter; previously it only worked underclojure-mode. - #4145: Add
cider-preferred-clojure-mode(defaultauto) 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 ofclojure-mode's. - #4146: Have CIDER's own Clojure display buffers (macroexpansion, evaluation results, tracing) honor
cider-preferred-clojure-modetoo, so they open inclojure-ts-modewhen that's your preference instead of alwaysclojure-mode. - #4143: Highlight the
#break/#dbg/#lightdebugging reader tags inclojure-ts-modebuffers too. - #4117: Add
cider-use-completing-read-for-symbol(off by default): when enabled, symbol prompts (e.g.cider-doc,cider-find-var) read throughcompleting-readover a lazy, runtime-backed collection, so they work withcompleting-readUIs (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-connectdefault when nothing is listening on it anymore; the host is still offered and port inference takes over. - #4159: Make
cider-default-nrepl-portcustomizable, keepcider-connectusable 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-messagesoffer to enable logging when it's off instead of erroring.
Bugs fixed
- #4158: Detect running
lein trampolineREPLs incider-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-portfiles on systems withoutlsof(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
:ordestructuring clause (e.g.{:keys [x] :or {x (some-default)}}) as local variables, so references there keep their normal highlighting. ... ...
