A big shout out to all the contributors! We had 18 contributors in this release.

Enough has changed to bump the version. We're skipping 0.1.x because previously the CLI would always report version as 0.1.0, and we'd like to distinguish it in bug reports..

  • Registers can now be selected via " (for example "ay)

  • A small memory leak was fixed, where we tried to reuse tree-sitter query cursors, but always allocated a new one

  • Auto-formatting is now only on for certain languages

  • The root directory is now provided in LSP initialization, fixing certain language servers (typescript)

  • LSP failing to start no longer panics

  • Elixir language queries were fixed

0.0.10

Keymaps:

  • Add mappings to jump to diagnostics
