Changes

• Displaying the parent folder in the tab label is now optional
• Git push: just execute git push without prompting the user to select remote
• By default, show minimal list of buttons in the toolbar when first time installing CodeLite
• By default, enable minimal list of plugins (by profile type)
• File System Workspace: split the settings into 2 different files: a local and shared file. The content in the "local" files is kept under .codelite/ directory in the workspace folder and is not to be saved into git or any source control the default .workspace file contains properties that should be shared
• File System Workspace: added 'working directory' field
• Language Server Protocol: optimized the traffic between LSP <-> CodeLite by adding checksum checks before calling LSP to re-parse a file
• Language Server Protocol: added support for implemented 'extDocument/documentSymbol' protocol message
• PHP: update PHP xdebug UI view to fit the IDE look
• Language Server Protocol: added an option to pass environment variables + initialization options directly from the UI
• GDB: Honor user's ~/.gdbinit file
• File System Workspace: added an option to use remote build
• Internal changes to how GDB communicate changes to CodeLite
• Appearance: honor *system* dark themes
• Language Server Protocol: install the user code completion provided by clangd automatically
• macOS: we now build CodeLite using macOS 10.15.5 (Catalina)
• Windows: better support for Dark Theme (Windows native)
• Creating or deleting a folder via the 'Explorer' view, will automatically sync PHP workspace
• file system workspace: extend the default file extensions to show with *.py, *.rb, *.php and *.php
• python support: adjust method document style to match the NumPy method as described here: https://docs.python-guide.org/writing/documentation/
• [PHP] Find functions in context when inserting PHPDoc
• [PHP] Add return type to signature
• [PHP] Add nullable type to signature in auto-complete
• [PHP] Hint nullable and default values
• [PHP] Handel parsing of by reference values in PHPDoc
• [PHP] Allow parsing of nullable types from PHPDoc
• [PHP] Handle parsing PHP 7.1 nullable types
• [PHP] Handle common mistakes when parsing PHPDoc
• [PHP] Add missing native types
• [PHP] Group tags in generated PHPDoc
• [PHP] Set return type to mixed when unspecified
• Callgraph is no longer included in the default installer of CodeLite
• File System Workspace: added the ability to exclude folders from the workspace. The folders are still visible, but they will be excluded in various operations, like Find In Files, Parsing etc
• Full parsing of workspace is roughly 30% faster now
• Renamed default build system from "CodeLite Make Generator" -> "CodeLite Makefile Generator"
• Added new Build System: CodeLite Makefile Generator - UNIX - which generates UNIX compatible Makefiles, even when on Windows (useful for cygwin / MSYS environments)
• contextual highlight is no longer done using the SQLite symbol database, as a result it should feel much more faster
• Git reset: added a WARNING icon to the dialog + Cancel button (which is now the new default)
• Navigation bar now also displays "git blame" info (author + commit hash + date) for the current line
• UI updated to the Preferfences and Colour and fonts dialog
• Refined dark theme support by removing various border which might look bright on dark theme
• Added an option to hide the main editor's tab area (Windows & macOS only)
• Language Server Plugin: you can now mark an LSP as SSH. This will execute it on a remote machine instead (you still need to make sure that it is installed on the remote machine)
• Quick Debug: it is now possible to debug over SSH from. Just state the account + binary to debug and CodeLite will do the rest
• Language Server Plugin: opening a header file will now automatically send the implementation file (cpp) to the active LSP for parsing. This way we make sure that goto-definition will work immediately
• Implemented a proper "switch to workspace" functionality. It is now possible to call Open Workspace without the need to the currently opened one. In addition, CodeLite will now display a dialog that will list the last opened workspaces
• PHP Find In Files: 1. Starting find-in-files from the context menu will force the find-in-files dialog to use the selected dialogs from the tree view *this are transient paths and will not be remembered* 2. Starting find-in-files from any other way, will use the last used settings
• Fixed: find in files offset is broken when non ASCII text is presented in the editor
