0.4.0.0

This release features a complete rewrite of the parser and lexer within the plugin.

Added

Support for the full syntax of Nix 2.3

Changed

Error detection and recovery has been overhauled.
The following words are no longer treated as keywords to make the implementation consistent with Nix 2.3:
- import
- imports
- require
- requires
- true
- false
As a result, these words are no longer highlighted. We might bring back the special highlighting in a future release by using a different implementation for the highlighter.
Messages for syntax errors no longer contain the “NixTokenType.” prefix for every expected token. This should make the messages much easier to read.

Fixed

Various parsing errors (including but not limited to #8 and #13)
Incorrect reset of parser state when modifying a file

0.3.0.3

Fixed

Change ID of plugin back from org.nixos.idea in version 0.3.0.0 to nix-idea from earlier versions. The different ID of version 0.3.0.0 causes IntelliJ and JetBrains Marketplace to treat version 0.3.0.0 as a different plugin instead of another version of the same plugin. Note that if you installed version 0.3.0.0 manually from the ZIP file, you should uninstall it when updating to a new version.

0.3.0.0

Changed

Update project to build for recent IJ versions
