Changelog

master (unreleased)

New features

#4179: Add cider-flash-evaluated-region (off by default), which briefly flashes the region an evaluation command sent, so you can see which form it picked.
#4176: Add cider-inspect-menu (C-c C-i), listing every way to start an inspection (last sexp, sexp at point, defun, last result, or an expression you type), so they're no longer reachable only by counting prefix arguments to cider-inspect.
#4173: Give the rest of the form commands an "at point" variant, as evaluation and tap already had: cider-inspect-sexp-at-point, cider-pprint-eval-sexp-at-point, cider-macroexpand-1-at-point, cider-macroexpand-all-at-point, cider-format-edn-sexp-at-point and cider-insert-sexp-at-point-in-repl, so you no longer have to move point after a form to act on it.
#4164: Resolve container-published nREPL ports: cider-connect suggestions from a /docker://podman: buffer are translated to the host ports they're published on, and jack-in over tramp-container connects back through the published port instead of failing on the unreachable container name.
#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; cider-completion-symbol-prompt-min-length (default 2) sets how much you type before the runtime is queried.
#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

#4184: Move cider-jump-to-comment from C-c C-j v to C-c C-j j, so v under the insert prefix is cider-insert-sexp-at-point-in-repl like the other at-point commands; the macroexpand and pretty-print at-point variants are now also in the plain cider-macroexpand-map/cider-eval-pprint-commands-map, not just the menus.
#2854: Leave keys with a nil value out of nREPL requests (at any nesting depth) instead of sending them as empty lists; nrepl-bencode now encodes vectors as lists, so [] is the way to send an empty list on purpose. ... ...
