Inlay hints
^^^^^^^^^^^

Diagnostics
^^^^^^^^^^^

Semantic Highlighting
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Type hints
* Improved heuristics for showing sugared vs. desguared types
* Some hints which provide no information (e.g. ``<dependent-type>``) are now omitted
- Parameter hints
* Parameter hints are now shown for calls through function pointers
* Parameter hints are now shown for calls to a class's ``operator()``
* No longer show bogus parameter hints for some builtins like ``__builtin_dump_struct``

Compile flags
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- System include extractor (``--query-driver``) improvements
* The directory containing builtin headers is now excluded from extracted system includes
* Various flags which can affect the system includes (``--target``, ``--stdlib``, ``-specs``) are now forwarded to the driver
* Fixed a bug where clangd would sometimes try to call a driver that didn't have obj-c support with ``-x objective-c++-header``
* The driver path is now dot-normalized before being compared to the ``--query-driver`` pattern
* ``--query-driver`` is now supported by ``clangd-indexer``
- Fixed a regression in clangd 17 where response files would not be expanded
