Release Notes

Update

Plan to implement

It is a good text editor with GPPL language support for SolidCAM postprocessor editing at the moment. But I want even better. The next version will be 2.0.0, and I'll implement in it:

• LSP functionality to improve performance
• a semantic analyzer for the GPPL
• here should be a complete project with a settings file, parsing of all dependent files, deploy functionality and packaging into an archive
• and more ...
