🐽 bacon-ls - a lot of new features

It's been a while since I have written here and I am happy to announce a lot of new nice features that I baked in bacon-ls.

There features are available with version 0.8.0 of bacon-ls and requires bacon at least at version 3.7.0. This new version of bacon adds some amazing support at parsing the JSON that can be produced by cargo when running with the option --message-format json-diagnostic-rendered-ansi.

Directly parsing this format allows for very precise span locations and direct access to cargo and clippy suggestions.

New features

• Precise diagnostics positions: since spans are precisely gathered from cargo, now the diagnostics locations are only applied to right portion of text.
• Code actions: Replacement and quick fix code actions are now exposed by bacon-ls to the LSP client, allowing for refactoring similar to the one available on rust-analyzer.
• VsCode extensions: extensions for Visual Studio Code and derivatives are now published on the VSCode Marketplace and on the Open VSX Registry

Please take a moment to read bacon-ls README as the bacon location configuration has changed and must be updated to work properly.

Happy diagnostics 🦀!
