v5.0.0

5.0.0 - 2023-08-07 ✌️

AutoHotkey v2 support now in preview! Please test it out and report any issues, you'll help the community of 120,000+ users of this extension!

Be sure to go to the settings and update the new V2 settings in case the defaults aren't correct 😊

Breaking changes

• Rename some settings. Users will have to manually adjust these new settings from the defaults to match their old settings:
  • ahk++.compiler.compileBaseFile is now ahk++.compiler.compileBaseFileV1
  • ahk++.file.compilePath is now ahk++.file.compilerPath
  • ahk++.file.executePath is now ahk++.file.interpreterPathV1
  • ahk++.file.helpPath is now ahk++.file.helpPathV1
  • ahk++.file.templateSnippetName is now ahk++.file.templateSnippetNameV1 with default value AhkTemplateV1

Other changes

• Allow .ahk1 and .ah1 extensions for v1 scripts, .ahk2 and .ah2 for v2 scripts. .ahk and .ext can be used for either version and still default to v1.
• Automatically change AHK version to match the #Requires directive near the top of any script the first time that script is opened
• Allow running and debugging v1 or v2 scripts without changing settings
• "Open help" (Ctrl + F1) now opens version-specific help
• Add full syntax highlighting for v2 scripts thanks to AutoHotkey v2 Language Support by thqby
• Update icons (found next to a script's name in the explorer)
  • v2 scripts will have official green icons, while v1 scripts now have modified blue icons
  • Icons are a bit smaller to align with existing VS Code icons

Known issues

Some features are not added to this initial preview release, but will be coming soon!

• Missing features for AHK v2:
  • Formatting (Issue #381)
  • Snippets (Issue #382)

Thank you!

This update relies heavily on open-source code from thqby and Steve Gray (Lexikos). Thank you for your awesome work!
