 ==============
-Version 3.28.0
-==============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Undo/Redo improvements when using multiple cursors.
- • Support for --device in flatpak finish-args. This fixes running apps
-   such as gnome-maps that require OpenGL support.
- • Experimental support for deviced to connect to remote devices.
- • The flatpak manifest configuration provide now supports duplication,
-   delete, and tracking changes in the source repository.
- • Builder requires enchant-2 now in coordination with gspell.
- • The build pipeline now supports building alternate architectures
-   based upon the selected device architecture.
- • A new deploy action has been added which allows pushing builds to
-   supported external devices.
- • A new build pipeline phase "commit" has been added. This allows
-   separating the process of commiting a build to a flatpak-repo from
-   the process of exporting a binary such as a .flatpak.
- • The flatpak build pipeline tries a number of strategies to cleanup
-   broken build directories.
- • The omnibar provides some visual feedback about build success/failure
-   when a build advancing to certain build phases completes.
- • A new qemu plugin adds support for building for non-native architectures
-   using binfmt and qemu-user-static.
- • A new "device" button has been added to the omnibar to select the target
-   device. We expect this to be used more in 3.30 but has limited support
-   in 3.28.
-
-Updated Translations:
-
-  Swedish, Danish, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Kazakh, British English, Korean,
-  Spanish, Greek, Turkish, Galician, French, Dutch, Czech, German, Italian,
-  Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Serbian.
-
-  We'd like to thank all our translators for keeping up with a number of
-  late stage translation improvements.
-
-Distributors:
-
-  GNOME-based templates use the Flatpak 3.28 SDK and Platform. Those
-  may not be available until after 3.28 is announced. You may want to
-  coordinate your release to users with Flathub.
-
-===============
-Version 3.27.92
-===============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Licensing improvements to meson-templates
- • Improvements for Language Server Protocol compliance
- • The device manager has been improved to support selecting a device
-   externally to the build configuration. UI is not currently exposed
-   and may be in a future release.
- • The build configuration no longer contains a device.
- • A number of build pipeline changes were made to support building for
-   an architecture other than the host.
- • The "local device" is now named "My Computer"
- • System architecture has been hoisted into the device info which
-   allows to more easily support remove devices.
- • The code index builder tries harder to avoid blocking the main loop.
- • A number of components were moved into the build pipeline to more
-   cleanly abstract device support.
- • The mingw plugin was dropped as it no longer fits into our design
-   abstractions.

-
-Distributors:
-
-  A new deviced plugin was added, but we do not expect distributions to
-  ship it by default in 3.28. It is disabled by default.
-
-===============
-Version 3.27.91
-===============
-
-This release was pretty quiet which means our stablization efforts last
-cycle are paying off.
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Various build fixes for some flatpak configurations.
- • Don't follow through symlinks when building directory lists. This fixes
-   a spinloop some users saw when opening projects with symlinks.
- • Avoid adding trailing \n when the document already includes a traliing \n.
- • Builder now respects --own-name when spawning user projects.
- • The editor gutter now provides tooltips with diagnostic information.
- • Some vim emulation improvements.

-
-===============
-Version 3.27.90
-===============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Various fixes for FreeBSD and similar
- • The "Projects" directory is now translated and created using the translated
-   name when applicable. If "Projects" already exists, it is used.
- • Fixes and correctness improvements in the beautifier plugin.
- • Fixes and correctness improvements in the xml plugin.
- • A new "Clone Repository" app-menu item has been added.
- • The code-indexer has been restructured to avoid threading in the plugin
-   API. Plugins are still free to use threads in their implementation.
- • A new golang language server client has been added with limited support.
- • Many leaks across a variety of plugins have been plugged.
- • The flatpak plugin tries even harder to avoid building projects immediate
-   upon project load.
- • The autotools plugin now checks for AC_INIT() inside configure.ac to avoid
-   being fooled by invalid tooling.
- • The configuration manager and providers have been restructured to avoid
-   threading in plugin APIs.
- • Writeback of configuration changes has been improved.
- • The editor gutter handles text and icon size changes for zoom.
- • The language server protocol client has gotten a number of fixes.
- • Preferences improvments.
- • The terminal now supports grid selection again.
- • Fixes for tab v spaces selection in the document properties pane.
- • We now support SDK extensions in flatpak and they will be downloaded.
- • A new template for Mono/C♯/Gtk♯ has been added.
- • We try even harder to supress unwanted build notifications.
- • The make plugin now supports a "run" target.
- • A new PTY interceptor has been added so that we can extract build warnings
-   while also using a real PTY for the terminal widget.
- • Ctags now inserts snippets for completion, allowing for parameters expansion.
- • Clang plugin now uses language spacing settings when expanding snippets.
-   This allows for supression of spaces before opening parens.
- • Language defaults have been restored, and now properly set the fallback
-   settings we intended.
- • We now log subprocess arguments when building.

-==============
-Version 3.27.4
-==============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • A new IdeVcsMonitor interface provides status tracking for project files.
-   This can be used to show the status in the project tree.
- • The editor supports Drag'n'Drop to open files, also allowing placement of
-   the editor frame to the left/right/top/bottom of an existing editor frame.
- • A new message pane allows plugins to deliver information to users,
-   particular about failures which would otherwise be silently dropped to
-   the console. It is hidden until the first message is displayed.
- • A number of improvements to subsystems for better error tracking, memory
-   leaks, and correctness fixes.
- • Save-All shortcut has been fixed.
- • The “hamburger” menu has been hidden by default, but will automatically
-   display if any plugins end up using it. Currently, all plugins have
-   removed their use of it.
- • Fullscreen now has a top-level button.
- • Newcomers greeter section now displays the included programming languages
-   to help guide developers to projects they may want to contribute to.
- • The omnibar now includes a button to download dependencies.
- • Unit tests are reloaded whenever the build pipeline is updated.
- • Symbol Tree will now more reliably show document contents.
- • Builder can now chain GCancellables together, meaning more reliable
-   cancellation of complex operations such as project building.
- • The build status panel can now display the build pipeline stages and
-   update them as the build progresses.
- • The Clang plugin will more reliably work when used to build against
-   a host system from Builder shipped via Flatpak.
- • Support for LLVM 5.0.
- • Various compilation fixes for FreeBSD.

-
-==============
-Version 3.27.3
-==============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Debugging with gdb has been improved to translate paths when running
-   inside of a mount namespace such as flatpak.
- • Improvements to eslint and GJS code indexers to be more flexible with
-   other JS runtimes such as NodeJS.
- • A number of correctness fixes in plumbing and for memory leaks.
- • A new build target provider interface has been added so the project
-   runner can support executing commands extracted from systems such as
-   flatpak.
- • GNOME Night Light integration.
- • Improved greeter sections with support removing data files.
- • Builder will try to remove stale cache data at startup and
-   shutdown to help free some disk usage.
- • Project cache data has been moved into a directory by project,
-   making it easier to remove cache data when a project is removed.
- • Improved alignments for home/end shortcuts.
- • The build pipeline now uses a PTY and VteTerminal to gain color
-   support and extraction of PTY sequences. This allows for proper
-   message titles in the omnibar when building. One regression currently is
-   that we no longer extract Regex-based error messages.
- • You can now run Cargo-based projects using cargo run.
- • Access to /usr and /etc from the host system when running under Flatpak
-   (via /run/host) allows Builder to develop against a host system. Users of
-   Builder on CentOS/RHEL/LTS distros are the most likely to benefit from this
-   feature.
- • The build pipeline tries to be more verbose for known error messages in
-   GLib by setting G_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC.
- • Builder now uses --state-dir with flatpak-builder when 0.10.5 or greater
-   of flatpak-builder is detected.
- • The project-tree now supports Drag'n'Drop, both internally and using
-   text/uri-list selections from external applications.
- • An early preview of VCS status integration into the project tree has been
-   included in this release.

-==============
-Version 3.27.2
-==============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Documentation improvements.
- • Bug fixes for the meson build system backend.
- • Bug fixes in our compile_commands.json support.
- • Bug fixes in our GJS integration.
- • Meson project templates gained a Workaround for a glade bug.
- • CMake plugin was ported to C, following the design of the meson plugin.
- • The greeter was abstracted to allow plugins to extend what is visible.
- • A newcomers plugin has been added which displays GNOME newcomer projects
-   on the greeter.
- • Support was added for Yaml when using GNOME Code Assistance.
- • Appdata now installs to the preferred location of the spec.
- • Startup time has been improved by avoiding some costly operations in
-   gtk and glib. Patches upstream improve things further.
- • A new setting allows following GNOME's Night Light behavior for night mode.
- • We now use explicit export macros to simplify ABI management. We still
-   aren't ABI-stable, but we're progressing towards that.
- • Our clang plugin now supports the KeepGoing option, to try harder after
-   encountering failures in includes.
- • Support for code-indexing the Vala programming language.
- • The ctags plugin will try to avoid activating certain language keywords.
- • Find-other-file plugin now shows the results in global search results.
- • Global search can now be navigated with ctrl+n/p in Vim mode.
- • You can now disable the "Open Pages" section of the sidebar in preferences.
- • The flatpak plugin no longer automatically updates project dependencies when
-   the build system activates for the first time. You can manually update the
-   dependencies from the workbench menu.
- • Cursor placement improvements for some text editor movements.
- • Basic support for unit testing in Meson-based projects.
- • Subprocess PATH will now prefer /bin over /usr/bin.
- • Various workbench keyboard shortcuts have been restored.
- • Support for project miners has been dropped.
-
-Updated Translations:
-
- Serbian, German, Slovenian, Czech, Spanish
-
-==============
-Version 3.27.1
-==============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • A GJS symbol resolver and code-index has been added.
- • Improved editor search that unifies mutliple search implementations
-   and reduces editor overhead. We definitely would like testing from
-   early adopters here.
- • Initial support for three-finger-swipe within the editor to move
-   documents to the left or right. This feature requires a Wayland-enabled
-   compositor such as GNOME Shell or Mutter.
- • The Todo plugin now respects .gitignore when using git.
- • An off-by-one in line number conversion has been fixed in the Todo plugin.
- • Thread-safety improvements to version control API.
- • The meson plugin has been ported to C and includes a number of improvements
-   such as proper async support and reduced pipeline overhead when extracting
-   build flags.
- • Builder now bundles most C-based plugins into a single private dynamic
-   library to help reduce startup time.
- • A number of performance improvements were made to both application startup
-   and project loading.
- • Preferences has been moved out of the workbench to reduce overhead and
-   allow accessing from the application greeter.
- • When various features need to access build flags, there is less of a chance
-   that they'll need to advance the build pipeline. This will hopefully give
-   users the impression that less activity is going on behind the scenes at
-   project load time.
- • Some build pipeline operations were queued behind long running operations.
-   Builder will now try to flush those operations as soon as the pipeline has
-   advanced past their requested phase.
- • The IdeTransferManager has been moved to IdeApplicatoin. This fixes some
-   issues in the rustup plugin as well as allowing transfers to occur from
-   any window and be accessible from all windows.
- • The quick-highlight plugin has been rewritten to take advantage of the
-   new editor search feature.
- • Improved support for accessing symbols found in .Debug flatpak runtimes.
- • Builder's dark syntax style has been tweaked to provide more contrast
-   between Gtk widgetry as well as the editor text.
- • The fpaste plugin has been removed as it had become obsolete.
-
-As a number of plugins have been modified or removed, we recommend that users
-uninstall any previously installed version of Builder before installing this
-development version.

-==============
-Version 3.26.1
-==============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Builder now bundles uncrustify when built from Flatpak.
- • Builder no longer includes tracing in stable flatpak build.
- • Fixes when using the XML editing extensions.
- • The vsplit vim command now accepts a filename to open.
- • Improvements to Vim chords y$, yfX, de, db, and dw.
- • Improvements when pasting from external clipboard content.
- • Fix error propragation when loading git repositories.
- • Use GNotification instead of manual D-Bus RPCs.
- • Significantly reduce chatter when notifying about builds.
- • Fix Home and End keys when in Vim normal mode.
- • Add Flathub repo to list of known Flatpak runtime sources,
-   which allows building against an org.kde.Sdk.
- • Unsaved file buffers now use atomic renames when interacting
-   with code diagnostic engines.
- • Various debugger bug fixes.
- • The editor attempts to avoid propagating resize events to the
-   root window, which should help speed up the editor a fair amount.
- • Preferences loading has been delayed until project load time. This
-   helps reduce application startup time.
- • The cursor now properly returns to the editor when leaving the
-   global search entry.
- • The Fpaste plugin was removed as upstream API is changed too
-   drastically to keep this plugin working.
- • A new condensed "omni gutter" has been added to reduce the width
-   of the gutter in languages that support debugging.
- • Icons are now properly displayed in the document popover menu.
- • A leak of editor views has been fixed which was caused by
-   Python lambda's in the html-preview plugin.
- • Tweaks to various UI CSS styling.
- • The debugger and profiler plugins now try harder to locate sources
-   through .Debug or .Sdk flatpak runtimes when libraries missing
-   debug symbols are encountered.
- • Fixes for various keyboard shortcut activation.
- • Preferences now properly release their addins on destruction.
- • The workbench was leaking addins on shutdown. They are now
-   properly released, and the window is hidden before releasing
-   addins to avoid showing widgets as they are destroyed.
- • Builder will avoid showing the greeter when loading a project
-   using the `gnome-builder -p project_file` command line argument.
-   This speeds up direct loading of a project by about half.
- • Builder will attempt to use "gio trash" on the host when running
-   inside of flatpak when the Trash is across a file-system boundary.
-   We expect this to go away once GIO learns about /proc/self/mountinfo
-   to discover when "cross bindmount" trash is acceptable.
- • The python indenter has been fixed when using compose keys with e or f.
- • (Re)selection of text when entering the search bar has been fixed. This
-   had the side effect of it appearing that your search term was silently
-   being dropped after a few characters were typed.

-==============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Various fixes to the eslint plugin.
- • Various documentation improvements.
- • Remove unnecessary compression from various .ui files.
- • Avoid the use of the "mips" constant to fix mips builds.
- • Clear the stopped breakpoint if the debugger exits uncleanly.
- • Fix a crash in the code-index plugin.
- • Fix to ensure rows in the omnibar are recyclable.

-===============
-Version 3.25.92
-===============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • A new word completion provider that uses distance from cursor for sorting.
-   This is currently exposed via ctrl+n/ctrl+p when in Vim mode. We may expand
-   this to other keybindings in the future.
- • Documentation cards can now be shown using the "request-documentation"
-   keybinding signal in the code editor. "Shift+K" activates this in Vim mode,
-   F2 with traditional keybindings.
- • A new code indexing engine that will index your project in the background
-   to improve search and code navigation features is now included. Currently,
-   only the clang plugin provides a suitable indexer, but other languages will
-   be supported in the future.
- • A global search provider using the fuzzy-search code-index allows jumping
-   to a function, class, and other language features.
- • A symbol resolver based on the code-index allows jumping between source
-   and declarations.
- • Plugins can now register long running "pausable" operations with the
-   project context. The code-index supports this for background indexing.
- • A technology preview for debugger integration has landed. It allows
-   debugging projects both on the host as well as applications running inside
-   of flatpak mount/pid/network namespaces.
- • A reference debugger backend has been implemented using gdb. Although it is
-   entirely expected that Builder will gain support for other debugger backends
-   in a future release.
- • Builder now tries to reduce the number of shell notifications it generates.
- • A new history plugin is added to bring back lost history functionality during
-   the UI revamp. It can be activated with ctrl+o/ctrl+i in Vim mode, or via the
-   back/forward buttons in the document stack header.
- • Documentation improvements.
- • Various project templates have been improved.
- • CSS style refinements.
- • Clang completion provider improvements.

-
-Thanks to all of our contributors and a special thanks to our three GSoC
-students this summer who did an outstanding job implementing great new features
-for Builder!
-
-===============
-Version 3.25.91
-===============
-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Build systems can not implement an optimized path to extract build flags for
-   multiple files at once. This will be useful for upcoming code indexing
-   features.
- • Mkdir pipeline stages can now request that directories are reaped at cleanup.
- • The buffer manager can now protect against a single file being requested
-   multiple times while a previous load is in-flight.
- • Various GAction fixes.
- • A new documentation-card plugin has been included as part of the Summer '17
-   GSoC work. It provides documentation on functions from devhelp when you hover
-   the mouse pointer over a function or other type. It supports multiple backends,
-   but only Devhelp is currently implemented.
- • A leak of various editor view plugins due to a bug in IdeExtensionSetAdapter
-   has been plugged.
- • The beautifier plugin has been ported to the new UI design.
- • The spellcheck plugin got numerous fixes from fallout during the UI redesign.
- • The XML plugin got a fix for a potential NULL deref.
- • The volume monitor has been restored on the editor.
- • Many widgets and plugins have been ported to the new shortcut engine.
- • The shortcut window should now work better on smaller screen sizes.
- • "Insert matching brance" has been moved to a per-language setting.

-
-Changes since last release:
-
- • Indentation fixes when using the fallback indenter.
- • Various UI changes as we progress on the UI revamp.
- • Diagnostics checks now blocked until the buffer has fully loaded.
- • Highlight engine fixes for the recently added pause support.
- • "Export" has been moved to a generic operation from the omnibar.
- • A crash in the diagnostics manager has been fixed due to incorrect
-   assertions at runtime.
- • Many keyboard shortcut fixes.
- • The search bar has had missing pieces from the revamp ported.
-   This includes better keyboard interactions.
- • Search navigation has been restored from the source editor.
- • Our BuilderBlocks font has been improved to support both lower
-   and upper-case glyphs.
- • Builder no longer uses Gtk's setting for sort-directories-first.
- • Builder now supports a "run-opts" in .buildconfig files or
-   x-run-args in flatpak json files to pass arguments when running
-   the target application.
- • The spellchecker has had a number of fixes that were broken during
-   the UI revamp.
- • find-other-file will jump right to the matching file if only one
-   is matched. This more closely matches our previous implementation.
- • The build pipeline now recognizes filenames with _ in them when
-   generating diagnostics.

-Version 3.25.5
-==============
-
-We are releasing 3.25.5 as a quick followup to 3.25.4. It fixes a number of
-issues that were discovered and fixed shortly after merging the new layout
-branch.
-
- • HTML Preview shortcut is fixed
- • Various keybindings have been improved in libdazzle
- • We now bundle the proper libdazzle version as a subproject
- • IdeSourceViewMode now holds a reference to the view and copies all
-   GValues when marshaling to the proxied closure
- • Focus tracking has been fixed for stacks in a single column
- • The focus-neighbor action works again, allowing ^w^w and other Vim style
-   keybindings to work correctly
- • Activation of F-keys while in vim "normal mode" has been fixed
- • Builder now depends on the proper version of GLib for access to
-   g_ptr_array_find_with_equal_func()
- • MIT/X11 license has been updated to include a missing stanza
- • Cross-architecture printf fixes
-
-Thanks to all our early testers who reported bugs!
-
-
-==============
-Version 3.25.4
-==============
-
-This release of Builder contains the largest UI change since the creation of
-Builder. As this is mid-development cycle towards GNOME 3.26, we anticipate
-breakage in this release. However, we value the time that people put into
-testing things for us and doubly so for those that file bugs.
-
-Generally, we try to keep the master branch fairly stable and usable. This
-release will almost certainly have regressions due to the nature of the
-redesign.
-
- • A new keybinding engine is being used. It is very young but maturing
-   quickly. Great pain has been experienced to merge the desires for
-   features we need with the backwards compatability to keep existing
-   features working such as the Vim compatability engine.
- • A new layout engine has been added. It has a few tricks up it's sleeve.
-   It can animate widgets between grid locations. It also can highlight
-   the view header to match the primary contents of the view. Under the
-   hood, the implementation has been vastly simplified.
- • Over/under splits can now contain separate documents and you are no
-   longer limited to two.
- • The project tree has been modified to look/feel more like a listbox.
-   Future releases of Builder will keep the project-tree, but it will
-   likely be disabled by default in favor of a DzlStackList-based
-   navigation.
- • The TODO plugin has been ported to C. It goes through a reasonable
-   amount of effort to keep memory allocations contiguous and footprint low.
- • Spellcheck has been moved into a plugin.
- • Color picker and spellcheck have been ported to use the new
-   "transient sidebar". They come into focus when it makes sense for them
-   to be visible based on context.
- • The symbol panel has been moved into the document header. It has also
-   been styled to feel more like a listbox with hover state.
- • Devhelp browsing has been moved into the document header for the
-   devhelp documentation view. It's a little bare at first, and we anticipate
-   this to improve in future snapshots.
- • The terminal supports the "primary-color" feature to style the document
-   header inline with the document content.
- • The build panel has been redsigned. It is placed on the left now to keep
-   our workflow something like Left->Right.
- • The global search has been replaced to fit with the mockups, on the
-   top-right corner of the window. We expect more improvements to search
-   in upcoming releases.
- • The "new-document" button has been replaced with a menu for various
-   types of new documents.
- • Manu previous extension points now use menus.ui to populate their menu
-   content. This makes extending menus much more consistent across Builder.
- • Document preferences (tab size, spaces, language, etc) have been moved
-   into a transient sidebar. You can activate this with the menu item from
-   the document header.
- • An "Open Pages" section has been added to the panel. It's not yet clear
-   if this will continue to be enabled by default or if it will be a plugin
-   that can be enabled.
- • The beautifier plugin has yet to be ported to the new engine, and therefore
-   is disabled by default in this release.
-
-Thanks in advance to all of our testers!
-
-
-==============
-Version 3.25.3
-==============
-
-This release includes some major changes for packagers. Builder is now built
-using the Meson build system. Given the number of GNOME packages following this
-trend, chances are that packagers will have existing scripts to help make this
-a smooth transition.
-
-Changes since 3.25.2
-
- • The "egg" contrib package has been broken out into libdazzle. If you do
-   not have libdazzle, it will be built as a subproject.
-   http://git.gnome.org/browse/libdazzle
- • The "jsonrpc-glib" contrib package has been broken out into a standalone
-   project. It will be built as a subproject if you do not have it installed.

- • The "template-glib" contrib package has been broken out into a standalone
-   project. It will be built as a subproject if you do not have it installed.
-   http://git.gnome.org/browse/template-glib
- • Ctags completion priority has been lowered
- • Many internals have been moved to an updated libdazzle. This includes lots
-   of theming fixes as well as improved panels and theming integration. Many
-   search data structures were also broken out into libdazzle.
- • The search provider has been rewritten to use libdazzle and the new
-   suggestion entry. We expect more changes here before 3.26.
- • Builder now uses GVFS metadata to store the cursor position. This should
-   improve the chances you end up on the right position when re-opening a
-   buffer.
- • Panels now properly maintain their visibility state between runs of Builder.
- • The flatpak plugin now properly ignores runtimes ending in ".Sources".
- • Builder properly cleans up drafts fixing an issue where files with encoding
-   errors would continually re-open when restoring Builder's internal state.
- • A "counters" window has been added to aide in debugging.
- • Builder now tries to do significantly less work while the buffer is opening.
-   This should speed up file-loading on larger files.
- • Various async operation priority have been lowered to avoid stalling the
-   Gtk main loop.
- • UI files now strip their empty space which should reduce the size of libide
-   a small amount.
- • IdePerspective now has a restore_state vfunc. This helps ensure that the
-   widget restores state after the UI has settled. This can help avoid hickups
-   in the UI at startup.
- • Python Ide.py overrides now have helpers to log using g_warning() etc. See
-   Ide.warning(), Ide.debug(), Ide.critical(), etc.
- • Additional documentation.

+Version 3.29.1
+==============
+
+Changes since last release:
+
+ • A new threadpool and tasking engine has landed which provides
+   much more safety guarantees in how tasks are processed off
+   main-thread and results proxied back to the destination thread.
+   This greatly improves the guarantees we can provide to threaded
+   workers. Threadpools are segmented by type kind of work, and tasks
+   can be pinned to certain threadpools to choke the number of concurrent
+   tasks in flight.
+ • Most subsystems have now been ported to IdeTask to take advantage of
+   our new threading engine.
+ • A new "Runtime Terminal" shell has been provided which is a terminal
+   in the runtime environment of the application. This means that
+   desktop applications will have access to the wayland or X11 sockets
+   if configured to do so in the flatpak manifest.
+ • Builder tries harder to ignore minified JSON files when performing
+   various background work like TODO extraction.
+ • The buffer manager now short-circuits a file-save request when the
+   buffer has not changed from the on-disk version.
+ • The build manager tries to avoid rediagnosing in a number of situations.
+ • The code-indexer interface has been improved to support off-main-thread
+   indexing in an asynchronous manner. Clang and Vala indexers have been
+   improved to support this.
+ • A new sysroot plugin has been added to allow building against an alternate
+   sysroot than that of the host system. We expect further expansion in this
+   area for toolchain selection in the future.
+ • A new ctrl+shift+k keybinding has been added to jump to symbol search
+   within the current document.
+ • Many API improvements to simplify access from language bindings.
+ • Flatpak "simple" build systems now run the commands from the srcdir
+   matching more closely to what flatpak-builder will do.
+ • XML plugin improvements for performance and stability.
+ • GDB integration now properly updates frames for the selected thread.
