Full details: https://github.com/scalameta/metals/milestone/3?closed=1
In this release we closed 7 issues and merged 17 PRs.
Improved sbt launcher
Metals now respects .sbtopts and .jvmopts when running sbt bloopInstall.
If you need further customization like reading environment variables, then you
can configure the "Sbt Script" setting (-Dmetals.sbt-script=/path/to/sbt).
Build server discovery
Metals now works with any build tool that implements "BSP Connection Protocol". See the Metals docs for more information: https://scalameta.org/metals/docs/build-tools/new-build-tool.html#custom-build-server
Blog post on fast goto definition with low memory footprint
New blog post on how Metals implements Goto Definition: https://scalameta.org/metals/blog/2018/12/12/fast-goto-definition.html
VS Code
Release notes: https://github.com/scalameta/metals-vscode/releases/tag/v1.1.0
Improved Java home detection
The extension now automatically detects a Java 8 home directory even if Java 11
is installed on the computer. Also, the extension now works for jenv users.
Outdated server version detection
The extension now automatically detects when you have a custom "Server Version" setting with an outdated version.
Sublime Text
The Metals process now exits when Sublime Text quits so that you no longer end
up with zombie metals-sublime processes.
@ayoub-benali has contributed several improvements to tomv564/LSP to improve the experience of using Metals with Sublime Text.
Watch the scalameta/metals-sublime repository for updates on further improvements to the Sublime Text integration.
Emacs
The website now documents the installation steps for Emacs: https://scalameta.org/metals/docs/editors/emacs.html
Note that the Emacs LSP client has several known issues so the experience is not as good as it could be.
Contributors
Big thanks to all contributors who reported issues, reviewed PRs and contributed code!
