lexical-lsp/lexical v0.4.0

on GitHub

Welcome to Lexical v0.4.0

The main thrust of v0.4 is hover support and quality of life improvements. Now, when you hover over a module or function, you'll see relevant documentation, types and parameters. We've also spent a lot of time working on completions in #410, which makes them more consistent, fixes some bugs in certain language clients (like eglot adding an extra @ when completing module attributes), and greatly improves their feel in vscode.

Additionally, quite a few of the changes in this PR were about laying the groundwork for our indexing infrastructure, which will debut in the next version. But fear not, this version has indexing disabled.

I want to thank @zachallaun and @scottming for all their hard work on this release. They've made lexical faster, more friendly and have removed a bunch of bugs!

Highlights include:

• Document hover for functions and modules
• Improved boot scripts
• Automatically updating nix flake. Thanks, @hauleth
• Helix editor integration. Thanks @philipgiuliani
• .heex integration
• Massively improved completions (Check out the PR, it's too big to summarize)

Bugs fixed:

• Longstanding unicode completion / editing bugs slain. Unicode works perfectly now.
