   9 ** Changes and New Features
  10
  11 *** Noam Postavsky is now the official yasnippet maintainer.
  12
  13 *** `yas-visit-snippet-file' now works for compiled snippets (see Github #597).
  14
  15 *** New function `yas-lookup-snippet' (see Github #595, #596).
  16
  17 *** .emacs.d/snippets directory is now created automatically.
  18 If that value is present in `yas-snippet-dirs' (see Github #648).
  19
  20 *** Default value for `yas-snippet-dirs' now uses `user-emacs-directory'
  21 instead of hardcoding "~/emacs.d" (see Github #632).
  22
  23 *** `yas-visit-snippet-file' no longer overrides `yas-prompt-functions',
  24 see Github #576.
  25
  26 *** The defaults for prompting have changed.
  27 `yas-x-prompt' is no longer present in the default value of
  28 `yas-prompt-functions'.
  29
  30 The new function `yas-maybe-ido-prompt' (which performs ido prompting
  31 if `ido-mode' is enabled) replaces `yas-ido-prompt' (which always
  32 performs ido prompting).  Previously the behaviour was dependent on
  33 the Emacs version being used.
  34
  35 *** The default value of `yas-buffer-local-condition' now works for `yas-insert-snippet' too.
  36 See Github #305.
  37
  38 *** The default value of `yas-new-snippet-default' no longer inserts `require-final-newline: nil'.
  39 It was redundant, since `mode: snippet' already accomplishes the same.
  40 `binding: ${4:direct-keybinding}}' is also removed, as it is hardly
  41 ever wanted.
  42
  43 *** Snippet fields are only cleared by commands with `delete-selection' property,
  44 See Github #515, #644.
  45
  46 *** `yas-initialize' (and backward compat alias `yas/initialize') are restored,
  47 but marked obsolete, use (yas-global-mode +1) instead.  See Github
  48 #546, #569.
  49
  50 *** `yas-key-syntaxes' is much more powerful and accepts functions.
  51 Enables use cases when discovering keys based on buffer syntax is not
  52 good enough.  See issue #497.
  53
  54 *** Documentation rewritten in org-mode and updated.
  55 A tremendous effort by Noam Postavsky.  Hopefully easier to maintain
  56 and navigate.  Available at <http://capitaomorte.github.io/yasnippet>.
  57
  58 *** Snippets are now maintained in their own repo.
  59 Snippets live in Andrea Crotti's
  60 <https://github.com/andreacrotti/yasnippet-snippets>.  See README.md
  61 for more details.
  62
  63 *** Textmate snippet importer moved to separate `yasmate' repo.
  64 URL is <https://github.com/capitaomorte/yasmate>.  See README.md for
  65 more details.
  66
  67 *** `yas-snippet-dirs' now allows symbols as aliases to directories.
  68 The added level of indirection should allow more esoteric
  69 configurations (see Github #495).
  70
  71 *** `yas-reload-all' can now jit-load when called interactively.
  72
  73 *** New `yas-after-reload-hook' run after `yas-reload-all'.
  74 See <https://github.com/pezra/rspec-mode/pull/75> for the discussion
  75 leading up to this change.
  76
  77 *** New functions `yas-activate-extra-mode' and `yas-deactivate-extra-mode'.
  78 These are preferable to setting `yas-extra-modes' directly in the mode
  79 hook (see issue #420 for more information).
  80
  81 *** New variable `yas-new-snippet-default'.
  82 The default snippet suggested on `yas-new-snippet' can now be
  83 customized.
  84
  85 ** Fixed bugs
  86
  87 *** `yas-expand' now sets `this-command' when falling back to another command.
  88 Previously it was setting `this-original-command', which does not
  89 match the documented semantics.  See Github #587.
  90
  91 *** Github #537: Be lenient to extensions operating on snippet fields.
  92
  93 *** Github #619: Parents of extra modes are now activated too.
  94
  95 *** Github #549: `yas-verbosity' is now applied to `load' calls too.
  96
  97 *** Github #607; avoid obscure Emacs bug triggered by overlays in *Messages* buffer.
  98 It was triggered by yasnippet+flycheck+highlight-parentheses.  See
  99 also <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21824>
 100
 101 *** Github #617; fix x prompt when snippet inserts many lines.
 102
 103 *** Github #618; avoid breakage if `scan-sexp' modifies match data.
 104 Which it does in Emacs 25.
 105
 106 *** Github #562: Deleting inner numberless snippet caused an error.
 107
 108 *** Github #418, #536: Fix navigation to zero-length fields at snippet end.
 109
 110 *** Github #527, #525 and #526: Attempt to prevent "fallback loops"
 111 when interactiing with other extensions that use similar fallback
 112 mechanisms.
 113
 114 \f
 115 * 0.8.0 (August 2012)
 116
 117 ** Changes and New Features
 118
 119 *** All YASnippet symbols now prefixed with `yas-'.  Keep old `yas/' versions as aliases.
 120
 121 *** Yasnippet is now Free Software Foundation's copyright.
 122
 123 *** `yas-dont-activate' can be a list of functions.
 124
 125 *** Snippets are loaded just-in-time .
 126 Thanks to Matthew Fidler for a lot of input with the implementation.
 127
 128 *** yasnippet-bundle.el is no longer available.
 129 Use `yas-compile-directory' instead if you need the speed advantage.
 130
 131 *** New functions `yas-compile-directory' and `yas-recompile-all'.
 132 This feature is still undocumented.  Generate a
 133 .yas-compiled-snippets.el file in the directory passed where snippets
 134 are compiled into emacs-lisp code.
 135
 136 *** New `yas-verbosity' variable.
 137
 138 *** Interactively calling `yas-exit-snippet' exits most recently inserted snippet.
 139
 140 *** Using filenames as snippet triggers is deprecated.
 141
 142 *** Default value of `yas-show-menu-p' is `abbreviate'.
 143
 144 *** `yas-visit-snippet' ignores `yas-prompt-functions'.
 145
 146 *** `yas-buffer-local-condition' restricted to trigger-key expansions by default.
 147
 148 *** `yas-load-snippet-buffer' (`C-c C-c') in `snippet-mode' has been much improved.
 149
 150 *** New variable `yas-expand-only-for-last-commands', thanks Erik Postma.
 151
 152 *** New variable `yas-extra-modes' aliases old `yas/mode-symbol'.
 153
 154 *** New `yas-describe-tables' command.
 155
 156 *** New `yas-define-condition-cache' macro.
 157 This defines an optimised function for placing in a `# condition:'
 158 directive that will run at most once per snippet-expansion attempt.
 159
 160 *** Mirrors can occur inside fields.
 161
 162 *** New `# type: command' directive.
 163 This feature is still largely undocumented.
 164
 165 *** A hidden .yas-setup.el is loaded if found in a snippet directory.
 166
 167 *** `yas-wrap-around-region' can now also be `cua' (undocumented feature).
 168
 169 *** Make menu groups automatically using new .yas-make-groups file.
 170
 171 *** Per-snippet keybindings using `# keybinding:' directive.
 172
 173 *** More friendly `yas-expand-snippet' calling convention.
 174 This breaks backward compatibility.
 175
 176 *** The `# env:' directive is now `# expand-env:'.
 177
 178 *** Setup multiple parent modes using new .yas-parents file.
 179
 180 ** Fixed bugs
 181
 182 *** Github #281: jit-load snippets in the correct order.
 183
 184 *** Github #245: primary field transformations work inside nested fields.
 185
 186 *** Github #242: stop using the deprecated `assoc' library.
 187
 188 *** Github #233: show direct snippet keybindings in the menu.
 189
 190 *** Github #194, Googlecode 192: Compatibility with `fci-mode'.
 191
 192 *** Github #147, Googlecode 145: Snippets comments were getting inserted.
 193
 194 *** Github #141, Googlecode 139: searching buffer in embedded elisp works slightly better.
 195 Issue is still open for analysis, though
 196
 197 *** Github #95, Googlecode 193: no more stack overflow in org-mode.
