There are some breaking changes in this release. The very first change is that the XPC service is now an accessory app target located in a different location. So if you are upgrading to this version, please open the app once to let it set up the new launch agent for you. The permissions should now be granted to the accessory app, please see the readme for details.
I need to make these changes because the accessory app is taking on more responsibilities like presenting GUI elements. And the old CLI was placed in a wrong directory and caused a lot of problems.
Here are the other changes:
- The real-time suggestion toggle is now universal, not workspace specific.
- Added a menu bar item for the accessory app. The icon looks like a steering wheel.
- The accessory app now launches on demand. You can set it to also quit automatically in the host app.
- A breathing dot will appear next to the mouse pointer or text cursor when real-time suggestion is turned on. It will have a different animation when prefetch occurs.
- Bump copilot.vim to 1.8.2
And some bugfixes:
- Remove warnings from the language server protocol. It may have sped up the Copilot a little bit. But the real-time suggestion still feels very slow.
- Fix that real-time suggestion not working when the Xcode autocomplete panel is displayed. (Oh, I mean it's now a feature, not a bug any more.)
- Fix that running command triggers real-time suggestion.
I would like to implement the feature to present suggestions in windows in the next release (no ETA). But I am not sure where to place the window. Snap it to the display corners? To the window corners? If you have an idea, please feel free to let me know.
