159
160 ## 2013-04-05 (0.6.7)
161
162 * Two `company-elisp` tweaks.
163
164 ## 2013-04-01 (0.6.6)
165
166 * `company-elisp` doesn't offer completions when typing the name and the
167 arguments of a new function or macro definition, allowing to fall back to
168 other back-ends like `company-dabbrev-code`.
169
170 ## 2013-03-30 (0.6.5)
171
172 * Fixed keybindings when running in a terminal.
173 * `company-elisp-show-locals-first`: new customizable variable.
174 * `company-elisp` shows more accurate and comprehensive candidates list.
175
176 ## 2013-03-26 (0.6.4)
177
178 * `company-eclim` shows valid completions after an opening paren.
179 * Expanded template does not get removed until the point leaves it. After your
180 input the last argument in a method call expanded by `company-eclim`, you can
181 press `<tab>` once more, to jump after the closing paren. No other bundled
182 back-ends are affected.
183
184 ## 2013-03-25 (0.6.3)
185
186 * New tooltip face colors used on themes with light background.
187 * Pseudo-tooltip stays up-to-date when text is inserted after the point.
188 * Fixed `company-require-match` mechanics.
189
190 ## 2013-03-24 (0.6.2)
191
192 * `global-company-mode` is now autoloaded.
193
194 ## 2013-03-23 (0.6.1)
195
196 * Documented `init` and `post-completion` back-end commands.
197 * `company-eclim` and `company-clang` only expand the template on explicit user
198 action (such as `company-complete-{selection,number,mouse}`).
199 * `company-template` has some breaking changes. When point is at one of the
200 fields, it's displayed at the beginning, not right after it; `<tab>` jumps to
201 the next field, `forward-word` and `subword-forward` remappings are removed;
202 when you jump to the next field, if the current one hasn't been edited, the
203 overlay gets removed but the text remains.
204 * `company-eclim` shows method overloads and expands templates for calls.
205 * `company-clang-objc-templatify` does not insert spaces after colons anymore.
206 * `company-clang` is now only initialized in supported buffers.
207 So, no error messages if you don't have Clang until you open a C file.
208 * `company-clang` recognizes Clang included in recent Xcode.
209 * New commands `company-select-previous-or-abort` and
210 `company-select-next-or-abort`, bound to `<up>` and `<down>`.
211
212 ## 2013-03-19 (0.6)
213
214 * Across-the-board bugfixing.
215 * `company-pysmell` is not used by default anymore.
216 * Loading of `nxml`, `semantic`, `pymacs` and `ropemacs` is now deferred.
217 * Candidates from grouped back-ends are merged more conservatively: only
218 back-ends that return the same prefix at point are used.
219 * `company-clang` now shows meta information, too.
220 * Some performance improvements.
221 * Fixed two old tooltip annoyances.
222 * Instead of `overrriding-terminal-local-map`, we're now using
223 `emulation-mode-map-alists` (experimental). This largely means that when the
224 completion keymap is active, other minor modes' keymaps are still used, so,
225 for example, it's not as easy to accidentally circumvent `paredit-mode`
226 when it's enabled.
227 * `company-elisp` has seen some improvements.
228 * Added `company-capf`: completion adapter using
229 `completion-at-point-functions`. (Stefan Monnier)
230 * Clang completions now include macros and are case-sensitive.
231 * Switching between tag files now works correctly with `company-etags`.
232

236 * Added `company-with-candidate-inserted` macro.
237 * Added `company-clang` back-end.
238 * Added new mechanism for non-consecutive insertion.
239 (So far only used by clang for ObjC.)
240 * The semantic back-end now shows meta information for local symbols.
241 * Added compatibility for CEDET in Emacs 23.2 and from CVS. (Oleg Andreev)
242
243 ## 2009-05-07 (0.4.3)
244
245 * Added `company-other-backend`.
246 * Idle completion no longer interrupts multi-key command input.

248
249 ## 2009-04-25 (0.4.2)
250

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

273
274 * Added 'stop prefix to prevent dabbrev from completing inside of symbols.
275 * Fixed issues with tabbar-mode and line-spacing.
276 * Performance enhancements.
277
278 ## 2009-04-12 (0.3)
279
280 * Added `company-begin-commands` option.
281 * Added abbrev, tempo and Xcode back-ends.

283 * Added `company-begin-with` for starting company from elisp-code.
284 * Added hooks.
285 * Added `company-require-match` and `company-auto-complete` options.
