1.9.1
Improved
- Now
CodeLens shows links instead of calls
- The
Document Symbol Details field shows calls
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 ...
