Release v2.8.2

This release marks the final minor update for the 2.8.x series. This version primarily focuses on refining diagnostic behavior and improving the developer experience through better navigation support.

🚀 What's New

Highlights

  • Relaxed Builtin Override Warnings: We've addressed the overly "pedantic" warnings in the semantic analyzer. nixd will now only flag warnings when users attempt to override "prelude" builtins, reducing noise in your development workflow.
  • Enhanced Navigation: Added support for textDocument/definition on path expressions. This allows editors like Neovim to jump directly to the target file when triggering "Go to Definition" on a path.
  • Folding Range: Initial support for textDocument/foldingRange has been implemented, allowing for better code structure visualization.

Coming Soon: 2.9.0

We are currently hard at work on v2.9.0, which will introduce a significant suite of "Code Actions" to further automate your Nix development.
