Details of all changes by API and date

May 18 '15; API spec. version: 1.49; affected top-level classes: AsyncDescriptor DescriptorChangeListener DescriptorChangeEvent; made by: tzezula
Added AsyncDescriptor which allows descriptor to be fully calculated on background. The AsyncDescriptor allows intformation to be computed on demand just for visible items.
Compatibility:

Added method `getSimpleName` to `SymbolDescriptor`

Apr 29 '15; API spec. version: 1.48; affected top-level classes: SymbolDescriptor; made by: tzezula
Added method getSimpleName to SymbolDescriptor returning the raw symbol name without parameter names or types.
Compatibility:

Added `FileDescriptor.getFileDisplayPath` method to return display path of the file.

Dec 12 '12; API spec. version: 1.33; affected top-level classes: FileDescriptor; made by: tzezula; issues: #223668
Added FileDescriptor.getFileDisplayPath method to return a display path of the file. The default implementation just delegates to FileUtil.getFileDisplayName but it can be overriden by more effective implementation when possible.
Compatibility:

Added `FileProvider.Context.getLineNumber` method to return the preferred line

Aug 27 '12; API spec. version: 1.30; affected top-level classes: FileProvider; made by: tzezula; issues: #217050
Added FileProvider.Context.getLineNumber method to return the preferred line on which the document should be opened. The FileProviders which are using custom FileDescription should use this method to open the selected file on preferred line. The FileProviders which are using FileObjects are handled automatically.
Compatibility:

Added method `setHighlightText` to `TypeProvider.Result` to allow `TypeProvider` to set text to highlight.

May 20 '12; API spec. version: 1.38; affected top-level classes: TypeProvider; made by: tzezula
By default the highlight text matches the text to search and TypeProvider has no need to do anything. But when the TypeProvider changes the text to search and uses a part of it just as a restriction it has to specify the new search text. For example Java TypeProvider splits the following text to search "java.lang.Str" to restriction for package "java.lang" and a new search text "Str". In order to let the infrastructure correctly highlight found elements the Java TypeProvider needs to call Result.setHighlightText.
Compatibility:

Added method `setHighlightText` to `SymbolProvider.Result` to allow `SymbolProvider` to set text to highlight.

May 17 '12; API spec. version: 1.37; affected top-level classes: SymbolProvider; made by: tzezula; issues: #220300
By default the highlight text matches the text to search and SymbolProvider has no need to do anything. But when the SymbolProvider changes the text to search and uses a part of it just as a restriction it has to specify the new search text. For example Java SymbolProvider splits the following text to search "*Util.toF" to restriction regexp for type "*Util" and a new search text "toF". In order to let the infrastructure correctly highlight found elements the Java SymbolProvider needs to call Result.setHighlightText.
Compatibility:

Added `TypeDescriptor.getFileDisplayPath` and `SymbolDescriptor.getFileDisplayPath` methods to return display path of the file.

May 9 '12; API spec. version: 1.36; affected top-level classes: TypeDescriptor SymbolDescriptor; made by: tzezula; issues: #225453
Added TypeDescriptor.getFileDisplayPath and SymbolDescriptor.getFileDisplayPath methods to return a display path of the file. The default implementation just delegates to FileUtil.getFileDisplayName but it can be overriden by more effective implementation when possible.
Compatibility:

Overloading TypeBrowser.browse method to allow prefilling of initial type name

Jul 20 '11; API spec. version: 1.25; affected top-level classes: TypeBrowser; made by: jlahoda; issues: #200163
Adding an overload to TypeBrowser.browse method that allows to specify the initial type name that should appear in the Go to Type dialog.
Compatibility:

Added a method converting Go To Type (File) wildcards into regexp

Oct 21 '10; API spec. version: 1.20; affected top-level classes: NameMatcherFactory; made by: tzezula; issues: #191145
Added a method converting Go To Type (File) wildcards into string accepted by java.util.regex.Pattern
Compatibility:

Added support SPI to implement name filters

May 6 '10; API spec. version: 1.17; affected top-level classes: NameMatcherFactory NameMatcher; made by: tzezula; issues: #185168
Added support SPI to implement common filters used by Go To Type, Go To Symbol, Go To File.
Compatibility:

Added SPI for Go to File dialog

Apr 7 '10; API spec. version: 1.15; affected top-level classes: FileProviderFactory FileProvider; made by: tzezula; issues: #182884
Added SPI to allow friend modules to participate on searching files in the Go To File dialog. The supplied FileProvider can handle file search in recognized source groups.
Compatibility:

Added method (Type|Symbol)Provider.Result.pendingResult()

Nov 4 '09; API spec. version: 1.14; made by: pflaska; issues: #175998
