1.9.0

Minor

• Early experimental support for custom UI theming. (Feedback appreciated).
• Add basic support for GraphQL. (Requires GraphQL for VSCode extension).

Patch

• PHP: Fix double quoted variable highlighting for ${variablename} and {$variablename} forms.
• PHP: Fix color of language constants.

Note: UI changes are very preliminary and partially incomplete. This will be improved when the API stabilizes and gets documented.

1.8.0

Minor

• Remove italics from JSON keys.
• Colorize JSON key-value separators
• Complete overhaul of Yaml lang to better align with JSON highlighting.
• this, var, const, let, etc.. text formatting removed.
• Various reserved words (e.g. class, interface, type, etc..) color switched to be uniform with other reserved words.
• Add highlighting for import aliases in JS and friends.
• Improve background color for selected symbols.
  • Read access => cyan
  • Write access => green

Patch

• Adjust currentFindMatchHighlight so that it doesn't completely mask comments. HT: @nguyenhuumy (#11)
• Fix highlighting for variable constants (i.e. variables in all caps in JS).
• Fix highlighting for JS string interpolation.
• Fix miscolor of quoted object literal keys in JS and friends.

Chore

• Add test files for a handful of popular languages

Notes

The goal of the next several upcoming updates is to improve the uniformity of semantic highlighting between languages. I find it personally disorienting when using one language that has cyan as the color for types and then switch to another where it is green. The experience should be seamless across all languages.

I've opened an issue on github for this process. Your feedback is welcomed and encouraged!

1.7.0

Minor

• Remove italics from JS & friends arrow functions to play nicer with fonts using custom ligatures (e.g. FiraCode). HT: @joaoevangelista
• Improve syntax for object destructuring assignment with renaming in JS and friends.

Patch

• Fix miscolored decorators.
• Fix template string syntax in JS (previously only applied to TS).

Feedback, suggestions, comments appreciated.

1.6.0

• Change Maintainers
• Add Markdown Syntax.
• Add better support for TypeScript.
• Add base language fallbacks to better support esoteric languages.

Note: There's a break in the semver number because of an issue that was ran into when publishing to the extension repository. We should be back on track now at v1.6.0. Sorry for the confusion.
