Changes for version 0.900 - 2022-08-29

  • Improvements to indexing:
    • Indexing is done using PPR now, instead of PPI, which is much faster.
    • Indexing is now performed by multiple child processes, which is faster.
    • The index is no longer written to a file; instead it is done during startup.
    • Files are now reindexed on change, not just when they are saved.
    • .pls-tmp-* file deletion no longer triggers a cleanup of the index, which should improve performance, because it prevents a synchronous stat() of all files.
    • Indexing progress is no longer logged. Instead, it is displayed as work done progress.
  • Support for multiple workspace folders has been added.
  • Handling for edge cases related to completion has been improved.
  • Support for non-ASCII characters in your Perl source code has been added.
  • Go to definition now works for subroutine calls or references, where the subroutine name is prefixed by &.
  • Go to definition now works for method calls prefixed by "SUPER".
  • The client process is now periodically checked to make sure it is still running. If it isn't, the server will exit.
  • Added Perl code snippets for common patterns.
  • Instead of attempting to filter completion results on the server side first, everything relevant is returned and filtering is now all done by the client.
  • Syntax checking and linting is now multi-threaded. Document versions are used to ensure old diagnostics are not returned to the client.
    • Files are now checked to ensure they are not closed after syntax checking and linting is complete, but before the diagnostics are sent to the client. This prevents diagnostics from hanging around after a file is closed.
  • The first parameter is now skipped in signature help if a subroutine is being called as a class or instance method.
  • PLS now evaluates use statements and determines which imported functions are available to be used directly instead of with their fully-qualified names.
    • Hover and completion resolve documentation is available for these functions.
  • Perl built-in variables were added to the completion list.
    • Completion resolve documentation is available for these variables.
  • PLS can now use Cpanel::JSON::XS instead of JSON::XS for improved performance.
  • PPI documents are no longer cached after every change, which was of questionable utility and used a ton of memory.
  • Configuration items have been migrated from the perl. to the pls. namespace.
    • This is to prevent conflict with configuration from other Perl language servers in Emacs.
    • Support for configuration in the perl. namespace has been deprecated but not removed.
    • Configuration in the perl. namespace currently takes precedence in order to prevent broken configuration on upgrade.
  • Various other stability and quality of life improvements.
