Changelog

All notable changes to NX Postprocessor Support are listed here, newest release first. Versions correspond to the Git tags of this repository.

Unreleased

Added

• Go to Definition from block template and address arguments in Tcl (MOM_do_template, MOM_force, MOM_suppress, MOM_ask_address_value, ...) to the BLOCK_TEMPLATE/ADDRESS declaration in the PSC .def files
• Hover over block templates shows the template body; hover over addresses shows format, leader, trailer, min/max, and modality
• Find References and Rename for block templates and addresses across Tcl and .def files, including addresses used inside block templates
• Go to Definition, hover, references, and rename also work inside .def files
• Hover and Go to Definition also recognize block template and address names that reach an NX command through a local variable (set, lappend, list, foreach) or through the parameter of a custom proc such as LIB_SPF_call_cycle "absolute_mode", including nested wrapper procs; same-named strings without such a path are not recognized, and these derived names are not renamed
• Warning for block template and address names in NX commands (MOM_do_template stedy_rest) that no loaded .def file declares; names built at runtime ($var, "CYCLE_$x") are not checked, and the warnings update when a .def file changes
• Completion items for block templates and addresses (BLOCK_LIST, ADDR_LIST, MOM_do_template, ...) show the same preview as the hover

Documentation

• Document DEF block templates, addresses, BLOCK_LIST/ADDR_LIST, and the formatting changes in the README

[2026.9.700] - 2026-09-24

Added

• BLOCK_LIST and ADDR_LIST completion keywords that list all loaded block templates or addresses; the keyword is replaced by the selected quoted name

Changed

• Format comments with a space after # (#Comment becomes # Comment); ## separators, #!, and comments that already start with whitespace stay unchanged

[2026.9.600] - 2026-09-24

Added

• Read BLOCK_TEMPLATE and ADDRESS names from the .def files listed under <DefinedEvents> in PSC layers; changes to PSC and DEF files are picked up automatically
• Suggest block templates for MOM_do_template and addresses for MOM_ask_address_value, MOM_force, and MOM_suppress, each followed by variables
• Suggest Always, Once, and Off for the first argument of MOM_force and MOM_suppress
• Insert block templates, addresses, and modes in quotes without doubling typed or auto-closed quotes; insert variables with a leading $
• Persistent workspace index in the extension storage, so restarts skip reparsing unchanged files; the cache is discarded automatically when the server or bundled tclint changes

Changed

• Reparse only the top-level Tcl commands touched by an edit instead of the whole file
• Speed up TclOO completion, signature help, inlay hints, and Go to Definition by reusing the cached syntax tree and skipping files without classes
• Speed up references, document highlights, and call hierarchy with cached definition lookups
• Keep background indexing from blocking requests that need a fresh syntax tree

Fixed

• Format and lint uplevel bodies as Tcl scripts instead of leaving them untouched
• Stop the Python debug bootstrap with a clear error instead of hanging when no debugpy listener or only a stale one is available

[2026.9.501] - 2026-09-21

Fixed

• Highlight braced stored-procedure names in lappend arguments

[2026.9.500] - 2026-09-21

Added

• Index Tcl scripts referenced by PSC layers, including external folders, environment-variable folders, and legacy Windows encoding
• Share TclOO class metadata across files for completion, signature help, inlay hints, and highlighting
• Go to Definition for TclOO classes, constructors, and resolved methods, including PSC library definitions
• CDL event handler snippets declare an extra <var>_defined global for parameters marked TOGGLE Off
• Allow INVALID in the CDL CATEGORY grammar

[2026.9.400] - 2026-09-11

Added

• Document-local TclOO method completion for new/create instances, my, and statically inferred return chains
• Signature help and parameter inlay hints for resolved TclOO methods and constructors, including optional and variadic arguments
• Suggest TclOO class names as classes and semantically highlight their declarations and calls
• Keep completion working while the file has syntax errors

[2026.9.300] - 2026-09-10

Added

• Array key completion, including keys built with substitutions
• Generated CDL event handler snippets declare args

[2026.9.220] - 2026-09-08

Fixed

• Completion inside unfinished braced arguments now recognizes nested commands

[2026.9.210] - 2026-09-04

Added

• Highlight escaped quoted strings and embedded variables in DEF files

[2026.9.200] - 2026-09-03

Added

• Command-aware completion for Tcl subcommands, fixed argument values, and options such as string compare -nocase
• Semantic argument completion for variables, procedures, namespaces, and local file paths
• Placeholder-based snippets for if, foreach, proc, switch, try, and dict for

[2026.9.100] - 2026-09-03

Added

• Incoming and outgoing call hierarchy for custom Tcl procedures and MOM event handlers
• Document highlights for procedure and variable occurrences
• Context-aware completion that ranks local, current-file, workspace, and built-in symbols in that order

Changed

• Update lsprotocol to 2025.0.0

[2026.8.300] - 2026-08-28

Added

• Integrate the NX Tcl Remote Debugger; the separate local-nx.nx-tcl-debug extension is no longer needed
• nx-tcl attach configurations and breakpoints in Tcl and DEF files
• Stepping, call stack, scopes, variables, watches, evaluation, logpoints, hit conditions, and Tcl error stops
• Breakpoints in LIB_GE_command_buffer_edit_* bodies, mapped back to their source and owning procedure

[2026.8.200] - 2026-08-19

Added

• Configurable parameter-name inlay hints (inlayHints.parameterNames, inlayHints.suppressWhenArgumentMatchesName) for custom and built-in NX procedures, including variadic arguments
• Unlimited inlay hint length for Tcl files, so later parameter names are not truncated

Changed

• Cache semantic tokens, inlay hints, hover, completion, and variable indexes and debounce edits and diagnostics for faster responses

[2026.8.100] - 2026-08-19

Added

• Workspace symbol index with Go to Definition, references, and rename
• Signature help for custom Tcl procedures and built-in NX/MOM procedures
• CDL event handler snippets and hover with generated handler and mom_ parameter hints
• Keep indexes in sync when Tcl files are changed, deleted, or renamed on disk

Fixed

[2026.6.100] - 2026-06-18

Changed

• Folding ranges for Tcl are computed by the language server, avoiding duplicate regions
• Language server restarts are serialized so only one server runs at a time
• Pin the Python dependencies of the server and update the bundled libraries

Fixed

• Several stability fixes

[2025.9.200] - 2025-09-01

Changed

• Install server dependencies with uv instead of pip
