CIDER 0.8

New features

• cider-auto-jump-to-error accepts new option 'errors-only
• cider-connect now asks for remote hosts defined in machine-wide ssh
  configuration files and automatically detects running instances of lein
  server, both on local and remote machines.
• New defcustom cider-stacktrace-print-level. Controls the *print-level* used when
  pretty printing an exception cause's data. Defaults to 50.
• New interactive command cider-undef.
• New interactive command cider-clear-compilation-highlights.
• First pass at a CIDER quick reference card.
• completion-at-point now annotates functions, macros and special forms, thus making it
  simpler to gain understanding of what you're using (disabled by default).
• When invoked with a prefix argument cider-quit doesn't ask for confirmation.
• Enhance stacktrace to definition navigation to work for interactively defined vars.
• New vars: cider-to-nrepl-filename-function and cider-from-nrepl-filename-function
  are used to translate filenames from/to the nREPL server (default Cygwin implementation provided).
• Java classpath browser (M-x cider-classpath).
• Clojure namespace browser (M-x cider-browse-ns and M-x cider-browse-ns-all).
• Added the ability to jump to a definition from a docview buffer.
• New interactive command cider-close-nrepl-session.
• New interactive command cider-describe-nrepl-session.
• New interactive command cider-toggle-trace-ns (mapped to C-c M-t n)
• New interactive command cider-repl-require-repl-utils.
• #784: Make it possible to run tests in
  the current ns with C-u C-c ,.

Changes

• bencode decoder was rewritten:
  • nREPL dicts are now plists and accessor api is given by nrepl-dict-p,
    nrepl-dict-get and nrepl-dict-put.
  • nested stack is used for decoded messages to avoid re-parsing of incomplete messages
  • queues are used for incoming strings from the server and for the decoded responses
• REPL buffers are now connection buffers for REPL client connections.
• Server and client cranking were isolated into nrepl-start-server-process and
  nrepl-start-client-process.
• nrepl-client.el refactoring:

  • nrepl-send-request-sync was renamed into nrepl-send-sync-request to comply

  • with the names of other 'sync' variables.

  • nREPL requests are now named with nrepl-request:OP where "OP" stands for
    the type of the request (eval, clone etc.). The following functions
    were renamed:

    nrepl-send-string -> nrepl-request:eval
nrepl-send-string-sync -> nrepl-sync-request:eval
nrepl-send-interrupt -> nrepl-request:interrupt
nrepl-send-stdin -> nrepl-request:stdin
nrepl-describe-session -> nrepl-request:describe
nrepl-create-client-session -> nrepl-request:clone

• Renamed cider-macroexpansion-suppress-namespaces to cider-macroexpansion-display-namespaces.
• #652: Suppress eldoc when
  an error message is displayed in the minibuffer.
• #719 The customization
  variable cider-test-show-report-on-success controls now, whether to show the
  *cider-test-report* buffer on passing tests. The default is to not show the
  buffer.
• Renamed cider-toggle-trace to cider-toggle-trace-var and remapped it to C-c M-t v.
