Highlights from the past week

• Atom IDE
  • Shipping Console Logging
  • Fixed bugs including multi-symbol autocomplete trigger, java detection etc.
  • Started learning Rust
• GitHub Package
  • Commit together with co-authors - atom/github#1355
  • Automated the production of gpg and gpg-agent binaries for Windows, MacOS, and Linux with squeegpg-native.
  • Investigated the setup for including a TypeScript transpiler in an Atom package with React.
  • Begin an npm package, squeegpg, to wrap GPG interaction and gpg-agent management using the binaries from squeegpg-native. Set up a bunch of yak-shaving tasks like configuring Circle/AppVeyor/Travis CI and installing Greenkeeper.
  • Upgrade fs-extra and replace our proliferating helper methods with the already-Promisified versions from the newer version. atom/github#1350
• Teletype
  • Adjusted teletype-server's caching directives in an effort to reduce or eliminate package initialization errors (atom/teletype-server#47, atom/teletype#318)
  • Published first draft of RFC for streamlining collaboration set-up, including the ability to give guests a URL that they can use to join your portal, and a "buddy list" for more quickly collaborating with coworkers and friends (atom/teletype#344)
• Tree-sitter
  • Fixed some remaining issues with last week's optimizations related to parser size & compile time (https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/pull/148)
• Xray
  • Optimized selections. We're moving 1k selections in a document with 10k edits in ~2ms, and we think there's still room for improvement.
  • Made significant progress on a switch to a client/server architecture.
  • See this week's in-depth Xray update for more details.
• Engineering Improvements
  • Process .tsx files within Atom as TypeScript in a kind of hacky way. atom/atom#16944
• Shipped Atom 1.25.0 and 1.26.0-beta0!
