146
147 ## 2013-04-05 (0.6.7)
148
149 * Two `company-elisp` tweaks.
150
151 ## 2013-04-01 (0.6.6)
152
153 * `company-elisp` doesn't offer completions when typing the name and the
154 arguments of a new function or macro definition, allowing to fall back to
155 other back-ends like `company-dabbrev-code`.
156
157 ## 2013-03-30 (0.6.5)
158
159 * Fixed keybindings when running in a terminal.
160 * `company-elisp-show-locals-first`: new customizable variable.
161 * `company-elisp` shows more accurate and comprehensive candidates list.
162
163 ## 2013-03-26 (0.6.4)
164
165 * `company-eclim` shows valid completions after an opening paren.
166 * Expanded template does not get removed until the point leaves it. After your
167 input the last argument in a method call expanded by `company-eclim`, you can
168 press `<tab>` once more, to jump after the closing paren. No other bundled
169 back-ends are affected.
170
171 ## 2013-03-25 (0.6.3)
172
173 * New tooltip face colors used on themes with light background.
174 * Pseudo-tooltip stays up-to-date when text is inserted after the point.
175 * Fixed `company-require-match` mechanics.
176
177 ## 2013-03-24 (0.6.2)
178
179 * `global-company-mode` is now autoloaded.
180
181 ## 2013-03-23 (0.6.1)
182
183 * Documented `init` and `post-completion` back-end commands.
184 * `company-eclim` and `company-clang` only expand the template on explicit user
185 action (such as `company-complete-{selection,number,mouse}`).
186 * `company-template` has some breaking changes. When point is at one of the
187 fields, it's displayed at the beginning, not right after it; `<tab>` jumps to
188 the next field, `forward-word` and `subword-forward` remappings are removed;
189 when you jump to the next field, if the current one hasn't been edited, the
190 overlay gets removed but the text remains.
191 * `company-eclim` shows method overloads and expands templates for calls.
192 * `company-clang-objc-templatify` does not insert spaces after colons anymore.
193 * `company-clang` is now only initialized in supported buffers.
194 So, no error messages if you don't have Clang until you open a C file.
195 * `company-clang` recognizes Clang included in recent Xcode.
196 * New commands `company-select-previous-or-abort` and
197 `company-select-next-or-abort`, bound to `<up>` and `<down>`.
198
199 ## 2013-03-19 (0.6)
200
201 * Across-the-board bugfixing.
202 * `company-pysmell` is not used by default anymore.
203 * Loading of `nxml`, `semantic`, `pymacs` and `ropemacs` is now deferred.
204 * Candidates from grouped back-ends are merged more conservatively: only
205 back-ends that return the same prefix at point are used.
206 * `company-clang` now shows meta information, too.
207 * Some performance improvements.
208 * Fixed two old tooltip annoyances.
209 * Instead of `overrriding-terminal-local-map`, we're now using
210 `emulation-mode-map-alists` (experimental). This largely means that when the
211 completion keymap is active, other minor modes' keymaps are still used, so,
212 for example, it's not as easy to accidentally circumvent `paredit-mode`
213 when it's enabled.
214 * `company-elisp` has seen some improvements.
215 * Added `company-capf`: completion adapter using
216 `completion-at-point-functions`. (Stefan Monnier)
217 * Clang completions now include macros and are case-sensitive.
218 * Switching between tag files now works correctly with `company-etags`.
219

223 * Added `company-with-candidate-inserted` macro.
224 * Added `company-clang` back-end.
225 * Added new mechanism for non-consecutive insertion.
226 (So far only used by clang for ObjC.)
227 * The semantic back-end now shows meta information for local symbols.
228 * Added compatibility for CEDET in Emacs 23.2 and from CVS. (Oleg Andreev)
229

239 * Reverted default front-end back to `company-preview-if-just-one-frontend`.
240 * The pseudo tooltip will no longer be clipped at the right window edge.
241 * Added `company-tooltip-minimum`.
242 * Windows compatibility fixes.

260
261 * Added 'stop prefix to prevent dabbrev from completing inside of symbols.
262 * Fixed issues with tabbar-mode and line-spacing.
263 * Performance enhancements.
264
265 ## 2009-04-12 (0.3)
266
267 * Added `company-begin-commands` option.
268 * Added abbrev, tempo and Xcode back-ends.

270 * Added `company-begin-with` for starting company from elisp-code.
271 * Added hooks.
272 * Added `company-require-match` and `company-auto-complete` options.

294
295 ## 2009-03-20 (0.1)
296
297 * Initial release.
