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.
• cider-jack-in-lein-plugins no longer affects non-Leiningen projects.
  • Third-party packages should rely on cider-jack-in-dependencies instead.
• Upgrade cider-nrepl to 0.28.3.
• Remove cider-jdk-src-paths defcustom since enrich-classpath makes it redundant.
• Remove cider-resolve-java-class function since enrich-classpath makes it redundant.

Bugs fixed

• Upgrade enrich-classpath, which fixes various edge cases.
  • 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 enables functionality related to Java sources, javadocs or parsing thereof.
  • 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).
