5.0.0 - 2023-08-07 ✌️

AutoHotkey v2 support now in preview! Please test it out and report any issues, you'll help the community of 120,000+ users of this extension!

Be sure to go to the settings and update the new V2 settings in case the defaults aren't correct 😊

Breaking changes

• Rename some settings. Users will have to manually adjust these new settings from the defaults to match their old settings:
  • ahk++.compiler.compileBaseFile is now ahk++.compiler.compileBaseFileV1
  • ahk++.file.compilePath is now ahk++.file.compilerPath
  • ahk++.file.executePath is now ahk++.file.interpreterPathV1
  • ahk++.file.helpPath is now ahk++.file.helpPathV1
  • ahk++.file.templateSnippetName is now ahk++.file.templateSnippetNameV1 with default value AhkTemplateV1

Other changes

• Allow .ahk1 and .ah1 extensions for v1 scripts, .ahk2 and .ah2 for v2 scripts. .ahk and .ext can be used for either version, but default to AHK v2 (Issue #396)
  • The original changelog entry mentioned that the shared file extensions defaulted to AHK v1--this was incorrect
  • You can add a #Requires AutoHotkey v1 directive to the top of an of .ahk file to have it automatically load in AHK v1 independent of VS Code settings (Issue #392)
  • The same can be done with #Requires AutoHotkey v2
  • Alternatively, you can follow the below steps to associate all .ahk files with AHK v1:
  1. Open a .ahk file
  2. F1 -> "Change language mode"
  3. "Configure file association for .ahk files"
  4. "AutoHotkey v1"
• Automatically change AHK version to match the #Requires directive near the top of any script the first time that script is opened
• Allow running and debugging v1 or v2 scripts without changing settings
• "Open help" (Ctrl + F1) now opens version-specific help
• Add full syntax highlighting for v2 scripts thanks to AutoHotkey v2 Language Support by thqby
• Update icons (found next to a script's name in the explorer)
  • v2 scripts will have official green icons, while v1 scripts now have modified blue icons
  • Icons are a bit smaller to align with existing VS Code icons

4.1.0 - 2023-08-03 🙋

• Add quick help, adapted from thqby's AutoHotkey v2 Language Support (issue #78)
  • Selected text (or word at cursor) is now searched within the help documentation
  • Known limitation: if selected text would cause a syntax error when injected into a script, help is activated but no search is made. Ref issue #376
• Update file icon to match official AHK repository
