0.7.1

A hot-fix release

Unfortunately previous release is borked. Fortunately we have infinite number of version numbers available so I can bump version number and move on.

The problem was that chrome web store uploading/validation system silently removes all dot folders from the uploaded bundle. That sounds like a good idea to prevent noobs from uploading their .git folders and .DS_Store files but it prevented my "smart" idea to keep cljs-compiled files under .compiled folder.

Friends with Figwheel!

A lot of work went into this release. I have completely revamped nREPL implementation to add support for switching compilers. This enabled possibility to run Figwheel's sidecar inside nREPL server alongside Dirac nREPL middleware. With this setup you can switch Dirac to use Figwheel's ClojureScript compiler instead of creating a new (empty) one. With session joining I'm getting close to holy-grail-cljs-setup which has Dirac+Figwheel+Cursive playing well together as all-star team. Stay tuned, I will write an article about it.

Fixed :preloads

Including Dirac via :preloads didn't force inclusion of the root dirac.runtime namespace. Which caused Dirac DevTools to complain about missing Dirac runtime in the page. This has been fixed.

0.6.5

Handling page refresh / navigation

Main focus of this release was handling scenarios when you have Dirac REPL session open and page gets refreshed or browser navigates to another url.

REPL and page navigation

Old behaviour didn't reflect page navigation events and REPL stayed connected as if nothing happened. You had to refresh whole Dirac DevTools window to reconnect with a new REPL session.

Since 0.6.5 REPL disconnects and reconnects as a new fresh session reflecting (potentially) new Dirac Runtime config. I believe this should be proper behaviour - with a new Javascript context you want to open a clean REPL session with a clean ClojureScript compiler environment.

Please note that the command history in REPL stays intact, so you can easily access previously issued commands if needed.

Review your Dirac Extension Options

There was a bug which initialised newly added options to nil instead to their intended default values. This affected only existing extension installations. In v0.6.4 we have introduced options to use backend-supported API and CSS. Please open your Dirac Extension Options (=> chrome://extensions > Dirac DevTools > Options) and make sure those two options are enabled (which should be the default behaviour).

All new work: v0.6.4...v0.6.5

0.6.4

Support for preloads

We have added support for :preloads compiler option. Read the docs here.

This release should also deliver more resilient Dirac DevTools thanks to new Chrome API detection system and better error reporting system.

Stealing API definitions from internal Chrome DevTools

Chrome DevTools (frontend) needs to talk to Chrome Browser (backend) via a debugger protocol. Previous Dirac versions had a definition of this protocol baked-in as a snapshot extracted from chromium repo at the point of release. That is why Dirac had to be used with matching Chrome Canary otherwise the protocol definition could be out-of-sync.

Since this version we try to "steal" protocol definitions from internal DevTools embedded in Chrome you happened to connect to - internal DevTools have always matching protocol definitions because they are bundled inside Chrome. This should relax rigidity of our DevTools fork and work with more Chrome versions. But still you should not diverge too far from recommended Chrome version.

Better error reporting system

When Dirac DevTools frontend throws an unhandled exception, the exception gets printed into Dirac DevTools's console which is normally hidden. We have implemented a system which additionally prints such exceptions into your app's page console as "Dirac Internal Errors". In v0.6.4 this system was extended to properly print unhandled promise rejections and console.error logs as well. Additionally printed internal errors newly contain an info line with Dirac version and various useful state information which should help reporting and troubleshooting possible issues.
