ecode Files

New Features

• AI Assistant Plugin: (Docs) Interact directly with a wide range of local and remote Large Language Models (LLMs) from providers like Google, xAI, OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Mistral, Ollama, and LM Studio. This initial version provides a dedicated chat UI within the editor. Future updates will focus on deeper project integration (e.g., context awareness).

• Discord Rich Presence Plugin: Showcase your coding activity in Discord! This plugin integrates with your Discord client to display your current file and status. (Huge thanks to @bytequill for this contribution!)

• Expanded Syntax Highlighting: Added support for 17 new languages: Blade, C3, CovScript, Fennel, Flow9, Janet, Jule, Lisp, Modula 2, Modula 3, Rave, Squirrel, Svelte, V1, YueScript, Zephir, and Ü.

• New Language Server Protocol (LSP) Support: Enhanced code intelligence (completion, diagnostics, etc.) for C3, Lisp, Markdown, and Ü.

• Debugging Support: Added debugging capabilities for the Ü language.

• Tab Stop Alignment: Implemented proper tab stop support, ensuring consistent alignment when using tab characters ([#55]).

• Document Transformation Commands: Added commands to quickly transform text:

  • escape / unescape
  • to-base64 / from-base64 (These operate on the current selection or the entire document if no text is selected).

• Improved Fuzzy Matching: Introduced a new, more effective fuzzy matching algorithm (inspired by Sublime Text's approach) for significantly better results when searching for files, symbols, commands, etc.

• Open All Files in Folder: Added a convenient context menu option (Right-click > Open All Files in Folder) in the file tree view.

Improvements

• Documentation: Significantly improved documentation coverage and clarity across the project.

• Git Plugin: Enhanced stability and functionality. For example, the branch list now indicates if a tracked remote branch no longer exists (origin gone).

• Emoji Rendering: Color emoji fonts now render correctly with the proper size and color, even within monospaced text contexts.

• Performance: Optimized whitespace rendering performance on wrapped lines, making it as fast as non-wrapped lines.

• User Experience: Improved handling of user-defined fallback-font settings, ensuring the default fallback font is always loaded reliably.

• Build System: Addressed issue where specifying a non-existent working directory for a build step was not handled gracefully ([#432]).
