Snapshot release 2022-12-01

Features

• Code actions.

  • foo = foo; => inherit foo;
  • foo.bar = 1; foo.bux = 2; => foo = { bar = 1; bux = 2; };
  • foo = { bar = 1; bux = 2; }; => foo.bar = 1; foo.bux = 2;

  Currently comments and whitespaces (including indentations) are preserved.

• Highlight related texts.

  Highlight texts related to the one under the cursor.
  Don't be confused with semantic highlighting.

  • Highlight definitions and references when cursor's on identifiers.
  • Highlight all (attribute) references when cursor's on with.
  • Highlight all effective withs when cursor's on attributes from with.

• Add configuration nil.diagnostics.excludedFiles to disable diagnostics for
  some file paths, like generated ones.

• Configurations are now fully documented in docs/configuration.md.

Fixes

• Don't emit debuginfo for the default release profile. This is somehow
  introduced accidentally. Nix builds are not affected due to strip.

• Semantic highlighting is optimized and should work fluently with big files.

• Semantic highlighting now ignores string literal inners, to integrate better
  with language injections (eg. nvim-treesitter). They would still be
  rendered as default string color if there is no injection.

Internal changes

• More syntax desugaring code are moved into syntax crate and are made more
  portable.

• More tests and optimizations for syntax.
