Full description

Emacs Ada mode version 7.1.8

Ada mode provides auto-casing, fontification, navigation, and
indentation for Ada source code files.

Cross-reference information output by the compiler is used to provide
powerful code navigation (jump to definition, find all uses, show
overriding, etc). By default, only the AdaCore GNAT compiler is
supported; other compilers can be supported. Ada mode uses gpr_query
to query compiler-generated cross reference information. 

Ada mode uses a parser to provide fontification, navigation, and
indentation. The parser is implemented in Ada, is fast enough even for very 
large files (via partial parsing), and recovers from almost all syntax
errors.

gpr_query and the parser are provided as Ada source code that must be
compiled and installed:

cd ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-i.j.k
./build.sh
./install.sh

install.sh can take an option "--prefix=<dir>" to set the installation
directory.

See ada-mode.info section Installation for more information on
installing; you may need additional packages.

Ada mode will be automatically loaded when you open a file
with a matching extension (default *.ads, *.adb).

Ada mode uses project files to define large (multi-directory)
projects, and to define casing exceptions.

See ada-mode.info for help on using and customizing Ada mode.

** Set auto-mode-alist for ada-mode. 

* Ada Mode 7.1.3
04 Jun 2020

** Indentation of 'is' in expression functions is restored to 7.0.1
   behavior.

** wisi-get-identifier (used by wisi-goto-spec/body and others) sets
   completion delimiters appropriately. When using gpr-query, for a
   procedure declared as:

   package Package_Name is
      procedure Procedure_Name (args);

   the completion string looks like:

     Procedure_Name(args)<Package_Name<line>>

   so for example you can type "iterate<wisitok" to complete on
   WisiToken iterators, or "add(Data" to complete on all subprograms
   whose name starts with "add" and whose first argument starts with
   "Data".

** New constant ada-declaration-nonterms holds the Ada nonterminal
   identifiers, for use with wisi-cache-nonterm.

** ada-which-function is now a command (can be invoked by M-x); useful
   when you don't want which-function-mode turned on, but want to know
   what function point is in.

* Ada Mode 7.1.2
20 May 2020

** Revert change in indent of 'is' in expression_function_declaration
   to 7.0.1 behavior.

** packaging bug fix

* Ada Mode 7.1
11 May 2020

** gpr_query Version 3

** ada-mode fully supports non-ASCII text (the few remaining
   ASCII-only regular expressions have been fixed).

** gpr_query now starts in the background, and provides a completion
   table of all symbols in the project.

** keystroke C-M-i is bound to `completion-at-point', and uses the
   symbol table provided by gpr-query.

** Commands that prompt for a symbol (ie C-u C-c C-d
   wisi-goto-spec/body and C-u M-. xref-find-definitions) use the
   completion table provided by gpr_query. With a single C-u, all
   symbols in the project are used; with two C-u, only
   symbols defined in the current file are used.

** ada-in-paramlist-p (used by ada-align and other things) no longer
   parses the full buffer; it only parses if in parens, and only a
   small region containing the parens.

** Virtual tokens are used in indent, improving indent computation.

** Error recovery is improved.

** Fixes debbugs 40403, 40964, 37620

* Ada Mode 7.0.1
30 Jan 2020

** fix packaging bugs

** build.sh is now split into build.sh and install.sh; the latter
   takes --prefix and may need to be run as root.

** improve xref integration

* Ada Mode 7.0.0
19 Dec 2019

** parser Ada language protocol version 3

** Added support for the Ada 2020 features
   iterated_component_association (ai12-0061), target_name
   (ai12-0125), delta_aggregate (ai12-0127); these are supported in
   GNAT Community 2019.

** Major restructuring of code, moving many functions from ada-mode to
   wisi for use in other language modes, and using cl-defgeneric
   dispatching instead of function variables. Normal users should see
   no changes, except that some ada-mode functions will warn about
   being obsolete. If you've written custom code that depends on
   ada-mode functions, you may have to change it.

** gpr-mode fully supports auto-casing; new user variables
   gpr-auto-case, gpr-case-keyword, gpr-case-strict,
   gpr-case-identifier, respects 'casing' project file settings.

** New commands `wisi-goto-containing-statement-start',
   `wisi-indent-containing-statement' are in the menu.
   `wisi-indent-containing-statement' is bound to 'C-c S-i'.

** `ada-goto-declarative-region-start' now goes to the containing
   region, when the start point is before the 'is' in the ...
