ted v. 2.2

for a while now, i've had to switch back to vim every once in a while because of its very good macro support. well now ted has macros!
other than that, in this release:

• typing text now scrolls to the cursor (i think this was broken in a recent release but it's fixed now)
• glsl is highlighted correctly again (it was being highlighted as html due to a typo)
• :increment-number/:decrement-number (default: Ctrl+0 / Ctrl+9) to change numbers — useful with macros!
• :previous-position no longer crashes when no buffer is active
• jumping-to-build-errors (Ctrl+[ and Ctrl+]) now includes rust cross-file references (e.g. ::: somefile.rs:5:3)
• arguments to commands can now be bigger than 2⁶² — you can go all the way from −2⁶³ to 2⁶³ now! i dont know why you would, but you can!

ted v. 2.1

this release has a bunch of "things i;ve been meaning to get around to"

• themes
• better interaction between path-specific and language-specific settings
• better handling of backspace/delete with indent-with-spaces = yes
• CSS syntax highlighting
• :previous-position command (default key binding: ctrl+p) to return to the previous cursor position
• ctrl+scroll to adjust text size
• you can now control how ctrl+/ makes comments by setting comment-start and comment-end in ted.cfg
• fixed ted.cfg syntax highlighting for multiline " strings
• ted config files can now %include other files
• fix bug (only applicable to linux) where file permissions were reset on save (e.g. saving a file with execute permission would make it no longer executable)
• keys used to show LSP highlight/hover information is now configurable
• different colors for "read" and "write" LSP highlights
• if regenerate-tags-if-not-found = yes, tags are now also regenerated when there are no completion results

ted v. 2.0

this is the biggest ted release since 1.0!
here's what's new in ted v. 2.0:

• it took over a month but ted now has support for LSP servers! (autocomplete, go-to-definition/declaration/type-definition, signature help, hover, highlight, references)
• autocomplete for tags is also better now! it looks nicer too!
• "phantom" completions
• go-to-error will now strip ../ from file names in build errors if it can't find the file (e.g. https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/13894 ha! this problem was easy to fix for me!! i only needed to make a whole text editor...)
• syntax highlighting for GLSL, XML, JSON, and TypeScript — if you are upgrading from an earlier version of ted, you will probably need to remove the [extensions] section from your local ted.cfg or copy it from the global /usr/share/ted/ted.cfg to get GLSL/XML highlighting to work since your [extensions] section probably includes C = ..., .glsl, ... which overrides the GLSL = .glsl setting (i now see that it was a mistake to do that)
• framerate-cap setting (you can now run ted at >60FPS if you want)
• build-command setting for overriding ted's inferred build command if you have Cargo.toml/Makefile/etc.
• :go-to-definition-at-cursor command
• :up-blank-line and :down-blank-line commands for moving up/down to previous/next blank line. these are now the default for Ctrl+up/Ctrl+down but you will need to remove the Ctrl+Up = 10 :up etc. from your local ted.cfg if you are upgrading from an older version of ted
• ted now fixes problems with orphaned nodes (buffers which are open but you can't see them). i'm still not sure what was causing that problem and i can't reproduce it but it should at least be less annoying now if it does happen.
• switched from scancodes to keycodes for keyboard commands (i realized that almost all applications use keycodes). if you are using a non-QWERTY keyboard layout you might have to rejig your keyboard shortcuts. i'm sorry i should have used keycodes from the beginning.
• tags files with escaped slashes are now handled correctly (this used to cause some "tag not found" errors)
• if the command-line argument to ted doesn't exist, it now creates a buffer with that path instead of an untitled buffer
• matching < and > are now highlighted in HTML and XML
• ted.cfg strings can now be delimited with `
• fixed highlighting of # in multiline strings in ted.cfg
• ted now first writes to <path>.ted-tmp then renames to <path> when saving files so that you don't lose all the file contents if the power goes out mid-write or something
• build commands with non-ASCII characters should now be supported on windows
• there is now a "Text" language so you can write settings which should be applied when no programming language is active

ted v. 1.3 revision 2

• turns out glFinish() busy loops on some devices. that's gone now. i dont even remember why i called it.
• switched to // for C comments. if you are a c89 evangelist or something, too bad.
