Changes since 1.10.1

Bug fixes

• When deleting over a delimiter, do not jump to previous sexp in strict-mode if the character before point is a potential unclosed delimiter (#744, [#584], [#709])
• When smartparens-mode is disabled do not mess with delete-selection-mode handling (#767)
• Automatic pair deletion only operates on valid pairs (#731)
• Properly clean up closing delimiters when re-inserting pairs sharing a prefix (e.g. `' and ``'' in LaTeX)

markdown-mode

• Fix gfm-mode block insertion (#371)

evil-mode integration

• Better pair highlighting when the point is inside the sexp (= on the delimiter) (#758)

ESS

• Fix apostrophe behaviour in ESS comments (#769)

js-mode

• Fix autoloading of js-mode config (#701)

rust-mode

• Do not parse > where it is not a valid delimiter (#793)

elixir-mode

• Do not insert end keyword that would spill out of current context (i.e. out of the comment if point is in comment)

ruby-mode

• Fix ruby slurp/barf problems related to change of : to prefix class

Features

• Commands executed with sp-prefix-save-excursion preserve indentation.
• Inhibit pair insertion in overwrite-mode (#549)
• Allow inserting closing delimiters for non-autoskip pairs (#712)
• Do not drag suffix along with transposed sexps. This preserves , in argument lists or ; between statements.
• Parsing of strings inside generic string fences is now much faster (#752)
• Add support for defining custom pair configrations (#33, [#107], [#347])
• Add sp-backward-delete-symbol (-word) which do not put the removed content to kill-ring (#759)
• Add support for hungry-delete-mode (#764, [#765])
• Move point to end of symbol for sp-convolute-sexp
• Remove extra whitespace when calling sp-convolute-sexp
• New option sp-navigate-interactive-always-progress-point to improve behaviour of sp-next-sexp and sp-previous-sexp (always move in the direction of navigation).
• Update closing delimiter if opening delimiter is extended via insertion (#741)
• When sp-autodelete-wrap is on unwrap the last region in strict mode as well (#678)
• Support insertion of emoticons (such as :)) in text modes in strict mode (#713)
• Show offscreen paired delimiters with show-smartparens-mode (#346, [#788])
• When jumping out of sexp automatically using sp-skip-closing-pair (e.g. typing closing delimiter in strict mode) re-align the sexps and clean the whitespace (#778)
• Add sp-change-inner (#115)

python-mode

• Rewrapping tripple quotes (""" to ''') now works after selecting the single quote for rewrapping (#320)

ML family (tuareg-mode, reason-mode, fsharp-mode)

• Add comment pairs handling (#753)

typescript-mode

• Use javascript settings for typescript-mode (#748)

scala-mode

• Add support for scala-mode (#673)

haskell-mode

• Add the {--} pair
• Add setup for ' pair to better treat it when it is used as function/symbol suffix (#710)
• Add LiquidHaskell pragma (#802)

js2-mode

• Better reindent behaviour on js2-mode (#696)

text-mode

• Autoload configuration for text modes

elixir-mode

• Better slurping and barfing (#777)

rust-mode

• Allow typing match branches (=>) in strict mode (#789)

markdown-mode

• Add markdown-mode setup (#141, [#804])

org-mdoe

• Add org-mode setup

API

Bug fixes

• The regexp returned by sp--get-stringlike-regexp should never match anything if there are no string delimiters (previously returned a regexp which would always match anywhere)
• sp--strict-regexp-quote returns unmatchable regexp on nil
• sp-get-thing skips closing delimiter with skip function (#774)
• Use syntax-class instead of char-syntax to check if we are at string. This accounts for dynamically computed syntax via syntax-table text property
• When picking first string-like delimiter for parsing always pick a valid one
• Properly skip over regexp-based prefixes (#699, [#813])

Features

• sp-region-ok-p now works with all smartparens pairs not just syntax-table (#775, [#805])
• Add turn-off-smartparens-strict-mode (#790)
• Return match data from sp--find-next-stringlike-delimiter
• Use the p syntax flag to recognize prefixes (#812)
• Strings can now have prefixes (#811)

Misc

• Supply limits to looking-back to speed up unsuccessful parsing attempts (#755)
• Improve performance of delete-selection-pre-hook when no region is active (#794)
• Remove obsolete variable sp-navigate-consider-stringlike-sexp
• Add sp-describe-system to generate information when submitting issues to github
• Properly integrate strict mode and delete-selection-mode (#726, [#738])
