CIDER 1.5 ("Strasbourg")

CIDER 1.5 is dedicated once again to the brave people of Ukraine, who celebrate their Independence Day today, and to their European future. Слава Україні!

New features

• #3226: Populate completions metadata, making it possible to change the style of completion via completion-category-override or completion-category-defaults.
• #2946: Add custom var cider-merge-sessions to allow combining sessions in two different ways: Setting cider-merge-sessions to 'host will merge all sessions associated with the same host within a project. Setting it to 'project will combine all sessions of a project irrespective of their host.
• Support Gradle jack-in via the Gradle wrapper (gradlew), instead of just a globally installed gradle on the PATH.
• Gradle projects can now inject dependencies and middleware as with other build tools (dependency injection requires Clojurephant 0.7.0 or higher).
• #3239: Added commands to evaluate and tap last sexp (cider-tap-last-sexp) and sexp at point (cider-tap-sexp-at-point).

Changes

• Upgrade clojure-mode to 5.15.1.
• Upgrade injected cider-nrepl to 0.28.5.
• #3200: Improve cider-browse-ns interface to allow selective hiding of var types as well as grouping options. Include private vars in result list.
• Changed default cider-gradle-command to ./gradlew to use the Gradle wrapper.
• Changed default cider-gradle-global-options to "" (empty, formerly --no-daemon).
• #3234: Autocomplete multiple available ports on nREPL connect.

New features

• #3188: Add support for undef-all op, for removing stale vars and conflicting aliases.
  • Add new command cider-undef-all.
  • Existing commands cider-load-buffer, cider-load-file, and cider-eval-ns-form can be called with C-u prefix to execute undef-all before reloading the ns.

CIDER 1.3 ("Ukraine")

This release is dedicated to the people of Ukraine, with whom I share a very deep bond. Please, consider supporting them in their time of need.

New features

• #3148: Display error messages in multiline comment eval results, and in result overlays when cider-show-error-buffer is set to nil.
• #3149: Add option 'change to cider-eval-result-duration, allowing multiple eval result overlays to persist until the next change to the buffer.

Changes

• #3127: Strip all exec-opts flags (-A -M -T -X) if they exist in cider-clojure-cli-aliases. Also addresses a duplicate : in the generated clj command.

  • Third-party packages should rely on cider-jack-in-dependencies instead.

  • Remember: at the moment the enrich-classpath is disabled by default. If you wish to try it out, you can customize cider-enrich-classpath to t.
  • Also remember: for it to work, on Linux, you'll also have to do something like sudo apt install openjdk-11-source (depending on your package manager and JDK of choice).

New features

• Integrate enrich-classpath by default for Leiningen projects.

  • This can slightly slow down jack-in for the first time for a given project; later on the related work will be cached.
  • The feature is experimental at this point and needs to be enabled with (setq cider-enrich-classpath t).

Bugs fixed
