CIDER 0.7.0

New features

• New cider-auto-jump-to-error control variable for auto jumping to error
  location.
• #537: New support for
  Java symbol lookup from cider-nrepl's info middleware.
• #570: Enable toggling
  of the 'all' filter on stacktraces.
• #588: New doc-mode
  for presenting fontified documentation, including Javadoc.

• cider-select can now switch to the *cider-error* buffer (bound to x).
• #613: New clojure.test
  integration.
• #22: New command
  cider-jump-to-resource (bound to C-c M-.).
• #664: New apropos support:
  search function/var names (bound to C-c C-d a) or documentation
  (bound to C-c C-d A).
• You can view Grimoire's entry for a particular Clojure (built-in) symbol in
  Emacs with cider-grimoire (C-c C-d g) or your default browser with
  cider-grimoire-web (C-c C-d h).

  (as SLIME does).

Changes

  cider-show-error-buffer to control the behavior of the error buffer. Obsoletes
  cider-popup-on-error, cider-popup-stacktraces and
  cider-repl-popup-stacktraces.

  *print-length* in cider-pprint-eval-defun-at-point and
  cider-pprint-eval-last-sexp.

CIDER 0.6.0

CIDER 0.6 is probably the biggest release in the history of the project. It comes with many new features and improvements - most notably proper ClojureScript support via the cider-nrepl middleware. It also brings much improved completion logic and stacktrace display (also via cider-nrepl) + a brand new inspector.

CIDER 0.6 signifies both the maturing of the project and the end of an era. It will be the very last release that will work without the cider-nrepl middleware. Inlining Clojure code is problematic on many levels and I decided that I'm done with it. I'd rather us offload as much logic as we can into middleware. So in CIDER 0.7 cider-nrepl will be a hard dependency, which makes installation a bit more complex, but the extra benefits are well worth a slight inconvenience.

One last thing - support for Emacs 23 was officially dropped and all the source code now uses the lexical scoping introduced in Emacs 24.1. I guess this will affect pretty few users, but it has to be mentioned.

Below are all the gory details. Enjoy!

P.S. I'm having problems uploading the package to Marmalade for the millionth time. Not sure when (if ever) CIDER 0.6 will land there.

New features

• New interactive command cider-change-buffers-designation.
• Cider command uses cider-known-endpoints.
• #490 Dedicated
  support for company-mode in cider-complete-at-point.
• #489 Enable
  cider-jack-in on tramp source buffers.
• #460 Support for
  cider-nrepl's complete middleware for CLJ/CLJS autocomplete.
• #465 Support for
  cider-nrepl's info middleware for jump-to-definition.
• #469 Add option
  cider-prompt-save-file-on-load.
• New interactive command cider-insert-defun-in-repl.
• New interactive command cider-insert-ns-form-in-repl.
• New inspector inspired by SLIME's inspector
• STDERR ouput is now font-locked with cider-repl-err-output-face to make it
  visually distinctive from cider-repl-output-face (used for STDOUT output).

  stacktrace filtering/navigation using cider-nrepl's stacktrace middleware.

Changes

• #513
  Remove hardcoded use of IDO mode and use completing-read.

  information. cider-jump still uses tramp filenames to find
  definitions if used in a buffer associated with a tramp file.
• Renamed cider command to cider-connect.

Bugs fixed

• #515 Fix
  inconsistent prompt used for load symbol functions.
• #501 Fix
  nil appearing in nrepl-server buffer name when no project directory.

  nREPL connection.
