[GNU ELPA] Company version 1.0.1


From: ELPA update
Subject: [GNU ELPA] Company version 1.0.1
Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2024 17:02:57 -0400

Version 1.0.1 of package Company has just been released in GNU ELPA.
You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.

Company describes itself as:

  =================================
  Modular text completion framework
  =================================

More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/company.html

## Summary:

  Company is a modular completion framework.  Modules for retrieving completion
  candidates are called backends, modules for displaying them are frontends.

  Company comes with many backends, e.g. `company-etags'.  These are
  distributed in separate files and can be used individually.

  Enable `company-mode' in all buffers with M-x global-company-mode.  For
  further information look at the documentation for `company-mode' (C-h f
  company-mode RET).

  If you want to start a specific backend, call it interactively or use
  `company-begin-backend'.  For example:
  M-x company-abbrev will prompt for and insert an abbrev.

  To write your own backend, look at the documentation for `company-backends'.
  Here is a simple example completing "foo":

  (defun company-my-backend (command &optional arg &rest ignored)

## Recent NEWS:

# History of user-visible changes

# 2024-09-21 (1.0.0)

* `company-complete-common` now performs generalized [expand common
  part](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1488) completion when
  the backend supports that. In particular, for `completion-at-point-functions`
  it queries `completion-try-completion`. `company-dabbrev-code` and
  `company-etags` also do that when `completion-styles` support is enabled.
* `company-dabbrev-other-buffers` and `company-dabbrev-code-other-buffers` can
  now take a function as its value 
(#[1485](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1485))
* Completion works in the middle of a symbol
  (#[1474](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1474)).
* New user option `company-inhibit-inside-symbols`. Set it to `t` to switch
  closer to the previous behavior.
* Improved behavior when user types new character while completion is being
  computed: better performance, less blinking (in the rare cases when it still
  happened). This affects native async backends and is opt-in with
  `company-capf`.
* For that, `company-capf` supports interrupting computation on new user
  input. Completion functions that want to take advantage of this behavior
  should include `:company-use-while-no-input t` in the returned properties.
* `company-elisp` has been removed.  It's not needed since Emacs 24.4, with all
  of its features having been incorporated into the built-in Elisp completion.
* `company-files` shows shorter completions.  Previously, the popup spanned
  the whole absolute file name being completed, and now it starts after the
  nearest directory separator
  (#[1040](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1040)).
* New user option `company-capf-disabled-functions`
  (#[1437](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1437)).
* Better support for `yas-key-syntaxes`
  (#[1268](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1268)).
* New user option `company-tooltip-scrollbar-width` with default 0.4.
* The tooltip uses a more complex rendering approach, supporting double
  width/CJK characters, as well as buffer text of different sizes
  ([#1394](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1394)).
  `variable-pitch-mode` is also working better, although when using it it's
  recommended to customize the `company-tooltip` face to be monospaced.
* New user option `company-dabbrev-code-completion-styles`.  Use it to enable
  fuzzy matching in `company-dabbrev-code`
  ([#1215](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1215)).  An example
  configuration one can try:

```el
(setq company-dabbrev-code-ignore-case t
      company-dabbrev-code-completion-styles '(basic flex))
```

* New user option `company-etags-completion-styles`, to be used the same way.

* The backend command `keep-prefix` is being phased out.  The built-in backends
  implement it internally now, which resolved a number of sharp edges (mostly)
  around "grouped" backends.  To make that easier, several helpers were added,
  such as `company-cache-fetch` and `company-substitute-prefix`
  ([#1411](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1411)).  And
  `company-ispell` uses the cache to keep the currently selected dictionary
  loaded in memory between completions.
* The "length override" behavior in grouped backends now acts on each backend
  separately ([#1405](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1405)).

## 2023-10-08 (0.10.2)

* More `company-auto-update-doc`-related fixes.
* Better handling of `C-g` performed inside a `doc-buffer` handler
  ([#1408](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1408)).

## 2023-10-06 (0.10.1)

* Fix upgrading from 0.9.13 when the package is already loaded
  ([#1406](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1406)).

## 2023-10-04 (0.10.0)

* `company-echo-show` (and related featuers, most importantly,
  `company-echo-metadata-frontend`) now should stop interfering with the echo
  area and ElDoc when the current backend returns no `meta`.
