A week later than you’re accustomed to — but worth the wait! Pulsar 1.115.0 is available now!

Last month’s 1.114.0 release was full of fixes related to the recent migration to modern Tree-sitter. This month’s release is much smaller, but still dominated by Tree-sitter fixes affecting syntax highlighting, code folding, and indentation.

The most visible fixes are related to your ability to customize the grammar that Pulsar uses on a per-language basis. This is an approach we’ve encouraged for users that want or need to revert to an older grammar for a specific language — better to do so on a targeted basis than globally. If you can edit your config file, you can do per-language customization.

For instance, now it’s even easier than before to say “use legacy Tree-sitter, but only for Python”:

".python.source":
  core:
    useLegacyTreeSitter: true

Or “use modern Tree-sitter for JavaScript, but TextMate-style grammars everywhere else”:

"*":
  core:
    useTreeSitterParsers: false
".source.javascript":
  core:
    useTreeSitterParsers: true

Better yet, now the grammar-selector package will be attuned to these choices. When you manually reassign a buffer to use a different grammar, it will offer you only the “correct” grammar for each language based on what you’ve opted into.

We’ve also delivered our customary incremental improvements in language support, and one change that affects nearly all languages: indentation hinting will be more accurate in transactions with multiple buffer changes. The most common example of a multi-edit transaction is when the user places more than one cursor and starts typing.

We’ve made improvements to our language-ruby bundle, primarily with code folding and indentation hinting. TypeScript and C/C++ also got some small enhancements, and the language-shellscript bundle got a parser update.

And lastly, on another note, we have a few maintenance and upkeep PR's to keep our Cirrus CI active and working, to ensure you can keep using and enjoying the latest builds Pulsar has to offer.

Until next time, happy coding, and see you amongst the stars!
