v0.6.0

Added

• Block mode now supports all tree-sitter supported languages by default: Queries
  are only required for the Code Blocks Editor.

• node + npm dependency: Extension new requires node v16+, and npm.

• tree-sitter-cli dependency: Extension now requires tree-sitter-cli, and so
  transitively requires either emscripten (preferred) or docker.

• Tree viewer: View the syntax tree of the current file.

  

• Block mode highlights can be toggled.

Fixed

• Rapidly toggling block mode breaks extension.

• Rapidly moving blocks is slow.

Changed

• Block mode blocks: Instead of only using blocks, block mode now has
  access to all nodes in the syntax tree. Blocks are now only used to automatically
  expand a selection.

  Fine grained selection of nodes

  

  Selection expansion to nearest block

  

• Simplify language config:

  • Parsers are now installed from NPM, instead of from GitHub.
  • By default, the extension will try to use the tree-sitter-<language> NPM package, so
    many languages will not need to be configured at all.
  • Queries are an optional config, required only for the Code Blocks Editor (not for
    Block Mode) to work.
  • Configuration is by [languageId] instead of a massive languageSupport config.

• Change Block Mode colors config:

  • codeBlocks.colors.enabled: Whether Block Mode should color selections or not. Defaults to false.
  • codeBlocks.colors.sibling: CSS string for sibling selection background color. Defaults to var(--vscode-editor-selectionHighlightBackground).
  • codeBlocks.colors.parent: CSS string for parent selection background color. Defaults to var(--vscode-editor-linkedEditingBackground).

Removed

• Rust dependencies: cargo, code-blocks-server, no longer required.

• Force moves: Were inconsistent (especially in indent-based languages) and rarely useful.

  If they are missed, please comment on this issue, preferably with your use case.
