   6 * New user option `company-continue-commands`. The default value aborts
   7   completion on buffer saving commands.
   8 * New back-end command, `annotation`, for text displayed inline in the popup
   9   that's not a part of completion candidate.
  10 * `company-capf`, `company-clang` and `company-eclim` use `annotation`.
  11 * `company-preview*` faces inherit from `company-tooltip-selection` and
  12   `company-tooltip-common-selection` on light themes.
  13 * New user option `company-transformers`.
  14 * First transformer, `company-sort-by-occurrence`.
  15 * New user options controlling `company-dabbrev` and `company-dabbrev-code`.

  17 ## 2014-01-25 (0.6.14)
  18
  19 * The tooltip front-end is rendered with scrollbar, controlled by the user
  20   option `company-tooltip-offset-display`.
  21 * The tooltip front-end is rendered with margins, controlled by the user option
  22   `company-tooltip-margin`.
  23
  24 ## 2014-01-14 (0.6.13)
  25
  26 * Experimental support for non-prefix completion.
  27 * Starting with Emacs version 24.4, `company-capf` is included in

  29 * `company-capf` supports completion tables that return non-default boundaries.
  30 * `company-elisp` is enabled in `inferior-emacs-lisp-mode`.
  31
  32 ## 2013-09-28 (0.6.12)
  33
  34 * Default value of `company-begin-commands` changed to `(self-insert-command)`.
  35 * Futher improvement in `org-indent-mode` compatibility.
  36
  37 ## 2013-08-18 (0.6.11)
  38
  39 * `company-template-c-like-templatify` removes all text after closing paren, for
  40   use in backends that display additional info there.
  41 * `company-cmake` is now bundled.
  42 * Better `linum` compatibility in Emacs <= 24.2.
  43 * `company-global-modes`: New option.
  44
  45 ## 2013-05-26 (0.6.10)
  46
  47 * Plays nicer with `org-indent-mode`.
  48 * Works in horizontally scrolled windows.
  49
  50 ## 2013-05-10 (0.6.9)
  51
  52 * `company-capf` respects `:exit-function` completion property.
  53 * `company-backends`: `prefix` command can return `t` in the cdr.
  54 * `company-clang-begin-after-member-access`: New option.
  55 * Mouse click outside the tooltip aborts completion.
  56 * `company-clang` uses standard input to pass the contents of current buffer to
  57   Clang 2.9+, otherwise saves the buffer and passes the path to the file.
  58 * `company-clang-auto-save` option has been removed.
  59 * Better interaction with `outline-minor-mode`.
  60 * `company-dabbrev-code` supports all `prog-mode` derivatives.
  61
  62 ## 2013-04-16 (0.6.8)
  63
  64 * `company-auto-complete` is disabled by default.
  65 * `company-auto-complete-chars` default value includes fewer syntax classes.
  66 * In expanded function calls, arguments skipped by the user default to "argN".
  67 * `company-eclim` and `company-clang` do not strip argument types from fields.
  68 * `company-clang` expands function calls for all three modes now.
  69 * `company-clang` supports `c++-mode` by default.
  70
  71 ## 2013-04-05 (0.6.7)
  72
  73 * Two `company-elisp` tweaks.
  74
  75 ## 2013-04-01 (0.6.6)
  76
  77 * `company-elisp` doesn't offer completions when typing the name and the
  78   arguments of a new function or macro definition, allowing to fall back to
  79   other back-ends like `company-dabbrev-code`.
  80
  81 ## 2013-03-30 (0.6.5)
  82
  83 * Fixed keybindings when running in a terminal.
  84 * `company-elisp-show-locals-first`: new customizable variable.
  85 * `company-elisp` shows more accurate and comprehensive candidates list.
  86
  87 ## 2013-03-26 (0.6.4)
  88
  89 * `company-eclim` shows valid completions after an opening paren.
  90 * Expanded template does not get removed until the point leaves it.  After your
  91   input the last argument in a method call expanded by `company-eclim`, you can
  92   press `<tab>` once more, to jump after the closing paren.  No other bundled
  93   back-ends are affected.
  94
  95 ## 2013-03-25 (0.6.3)
  96
  97 * New tooltip face colors used on themes with light background.
  98 * Pseudo-tooltip stays up-to-date when text is inserted after the point.
  99 * Fixed `company-require-match` mechanics.
 100
 101 ## 2013-03-24 (0.6.2)
 102
 103 * `global-company-mode` is now autoloaded.
 104
 105 ## 2013-03-23 (0.6.1)
 106
 107 * Documented `init` and `post-completion` back-end commands.
 108 * `company-eclim` and `company-clang` only expand the template on explicit user
 109   action (such as `company-complete-{selection,number,mouse}`).
 110 * `company-template` has some breaking changes.  When point is at one of the
 111   fields, it's displayed at the beginning, not right after it; `<tab>` jumps to
 112   the next field, `forward-word` and `subword-forward` remappings are removed;
 113   when you jump to the next field, if the current one hasn't been edited, the
 114   overlay gets removed but the text remains.
 115 * `company-eclim` shows method overloads and expands templates for calls.
 116 * `company-clang-objc-templatify` does not insert spaces after colons anymore.
 117 * `company-clang` is now only initialized in supported buffers.
 118   So, no error messages if you don't have Clang until you open a C file.
 119 * `company-clang` recognizes Clang included in recent Xcode.
 120 * New commands `company-select-previous-or-abort` and
 121   `company-select-next-or-abort`, bound to `<up>` and `<down>`.
 122
 123 ## 2013-03-19 (0.6)
 124
 125 * Across-the-board bugfixing.
 126 * `company-pysmell` is not used by default anymore.
 127 * Loading of `nxml`, `semantic`, `pymacs` and `ropemacs` is now deferred.
 128 * Candidates from grouped back-ends are merged more conservatively: only
 129   back-ends that return the same prefix at point are used.
 130 * `company-clang` now shows meta information, too.
 131 * Some performance improvements.
 132 * Fixed two old tooltip annoyances.
 133 * Instead of `overrriding-terminal-local-map`, we're now using
 134   `emulation-mode-map-alists` (experimental).  This largely means that when the
 135   completion keymap is active, other minor modes' keymaps are still used, so,
 136   for example, it's not as easy to accidentally circumvent `paredit-mode`
 137   when it's enabled.
 138 * `company-elisp` has seen some improvements.
 139 * Added `company-capf`: completion adapter using
 140   `completion-at-point-functions`.  (Stefan Monnier)
 141 * Clang completions now include macros and are case-sensitive.
 142 * Switching between tag files now works correctly with `company-etags`.
 143
 144 ## 2010-02-24 (0.5)
 145
 146 * `company-ropemacs` now provides location and docs.  (Fernando H. Silva)
 147 * Added `company-with-candidate-inserted` macro.
 148 * Added `company-clang` back-end.
 149 * Added new mechanism for non-consecutive insertion.
 150   (So far only used by clang for ObjC.)
 151 * The semantic back-end now shows meta information for local symbols.
 152 * Added compatibility for CEDET in Emacs 23.2 and from CVS.  (Oleg Andreev)
 153
 154 ## 2009-05-07 (0.4.3)
 155
 156 * Added `company-other-backend`.
 157 * Idle completion no longer interrupts multi-key command input.

 159
 160 ## 2009-04-25 (0.4.2)
 161
 162 * In C modes . and -> now count towards `company-minimum-prefix-length`.
 163 * Reverted default front-end back to `company-preview-if-just-one-frontend`.
 164 * The pseudo tooltip will no longer be clipped at the right window edge.
 165 * Added `company-tooltip-minimum`.
 166 * Windows compatibility fixes.
 167

 176
 177 * Automatic completion is now aborted if the prefix gets too short.

 179 * `company-backends` now supports merging back-ends.
 180 * Added back-end `company-dabbrev-code` for generic code.
 181 * Fixed `company-begin-with`.
 182
 183 ## 2009-04-15 (0.3.1)
 184
 185 * Added 'stop prefix to prevent dabbrev from completing inside of symbols.
 186 * Fixed issues with tabbar-mode and line-spacing.
 187 * Performance enhancements.
 188
 189 ## 2009-04-12 (0.3)
 190
 191 * Added `company-begin-commands` option.
 192 * Added abbrev, tempo and Xcode back-ends.
