Nix support has also been generously improved by +contributors. + +Note that currently released Coq versions do contain critical bugs +w.r.t. async interruptions. We strongly recommend that you install a +fixed Coq version as outlined in `coq-lsp`'s README. Windows +installers are already built with a fixed Coq version. + +We take this opportunity to highlight a couple of recently released +projects built over `coq-lsp`: + +- WaterProof "2.0" [1], by the WaterProof team, an educational + mathematical environment for Coq + +- CoREACT Yade [2], by Ambroise Lafont, a graphical editor for + diagrammatic category theory proofs in Coq + +`coq-lsp` is compatible with Coq 8.16-8.18 and master.

This is intended for + people to build their own more refined notation feedback systems + (@ejgallego, #562) + - Hover request can now be extended by plugins (@ejgallego, #562) + - Updated LSP and JS client libs, notably to vscode-languageclient 9 + (@ejgallego, #565) + - Implement a LIFO document scheduler, this is heavier in the + background as more documents will be checked, but provides a few + usability improvements (@ejgallego, #566, fixes #563, reported by + Ali Caglayan) + - New lexical qed detection error recovery rule; this makes a very + large usability difference in practice when editing inside proofs. + (@ejgallego, #567, fixes #33) + - `coq-lsp` is now supported by the `coq-nix-toolbox` (@Zimmi48, + @CohenCyril, #572, via + https://github.com/coq-community/coq-nix-toolbox/pull/164 ) + - Support for `-rifrom` in `_CoqProject` and in command line + (`--rifrom`).

In VSCode, + this is triggered by the "Expand Selection" command. The + implementation is partial: we only take into account the first + position, and we only return a single range (Coq sentence) without + parents.
