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

• Procedures stored in PostConfigurator COMMANDBLOCK properties (CONF_CTRL_tool set auto_preselect_last_template {custom_header}) are highlighted as procedures and support Go to Definition, Find References, Rename, and the call hierarchy
• 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

Changed

• When a block template or address is declared in several PSC layers, hover and Go to Definition show only the effective one, the declaration of the last loaded .def file, and name the declarations it overrides; Find References and Rename still include all declarations

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

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
