v1.10.2

[1.10.2] - 2026-04-30

A small round of LSP fixes targeting catalogs that declare the same SIMP under mutually-exclusive BLOCs (most visibly DEFI_CONTACT), plus a long-standing race in the suggestion retrigger.

Fixed

• Value validation and value completion now resolve duplicate-named SIMPs by BLOC context. In DEFI_CONTACT(FORMULATION='CONTINUE', ...), 'NEWTON' is no longer flagged as not allowed for ALGO_RESO_GEOM/ALGO_RESO_CONT/ALGO_RESO_FROT, and the value popup now offers it alongside POINT_FIXE.
• Typing var = quickly at top level no longer latches VS Code's "No suggestions" widget. The = retrigger now matches the \n behavior — only fires inside an unclosed call, where KEY= still pops the value list.

What's Changed

• Docs/update readme and requirements by @basile-simvia in #34

Full Changelog: v1.10.1...v1.10.2

v1.10.1

[1.10.1] - 2026-04-28

A round of LSP polish: completion no longer auto-opens on top-level newlines or sticks on "No suggestions", and edit-time diagnostics stop crying wolf on macros that take CO("name") outputs or commands whose keywords live behind a BLOC gate.

Added

• DEBUT autocompletion now inserts a paired FIN() block with the cursor parked between them.
• Hovering a CO("name")-declared variable shows which macro will produce it and on what line, matching the regular variable hover.

Fixed

• Suggest widget no longer auto-opens on a brand-new top-level line, no longer latches on accepted snippet bodies, and still pops parameter suggestions on Enter inside a function call.
• CO("name") inside a macro is recognised as a future-output declaration, so later references to name no longer flag as undefined.
• ASSE_ELEM_SSD and similar commands no longer report SOUS_STRUC / LIAISON missing when the keyword's value contains another call (MODELE=CO(...)).
• CALC_MODES keywords gated by BLOC(condition=...) on defaulted catalog values are no longer reported as unknown.

v1.10.0

[1.10.0] - 2026-04-27

A broad LSP and IDE-experience pass: cave-driven catalog resolution, a TypeScript-style hover layer, context-aware autocompletion, edit-time diagnostics with quick fixes, a .comm formatter, a guided setup flow, and a new activity-bar panel that doubles as a command dictionary. The status bar slims to an icon and Output channels are grouped under a single code_aster: prefix.

Added

• Catalog from cave — the language server now reads its catalog directly from the Docker image of the cave-selected code_aster version (extracted on demand to ~/.cache/vs-code-aster/catalogs/<version>/ and cached). A bundled 16.7 catalog ships as a zero-config fallback, so the editor still works when Docker / cave aren't installed. The selection follows ~/.cave live and an in-memory reconcile clears orphan caches when an image is removed.
• Cave version picker — right-aligned status-bar item modeled on VS Code's Python interpreter chip. Shows the current version, click to switch / install / remove. Install runs cave use <v> with y piped in and reports progress through phases (Pulling / Downloading / Extracting / Finalizing). Cancellable.
• Guided setup flow — a one-shot toast chain on first .comm / .export open walks the user through Python LSP deps (auto-installed into a managed venv at <globalStorage>/.venv), ruff, Docker, cave, and a code_aster image. Each step is opt-in with Install / Not now / Don't ask again, and the new code_aster: Run setup checks command re-fires the chain.
• Activity-bar sidebar panel with seven groups: Setup (Setup (n/5), top when failing, bottom when healthy), Quick actions (filtered per active editor), Command browser (only when a .comm is active), Versions, Settings, External links, and the bottom Setup. The brand mark gets a tightened monochrome icon for the activity bar plus light/dark variants for in-tree use.
• Command browser — five canonical families (Mesh / Material / BC & Loads / Analysis / Output), each listing the file's commands first (✓) then the rest of the catalog dim. Title-bar action runs a fuzzy Cmd+P-style QuickPick over every catalog command. Reads from CommandRegistry so it updates live without saving.
• Hover rewrite — TypeScript-style cards inside a python code fence (signature → description → details → doc link). Required vs optional read as Python defaults, BLOC branches filter by the parameters already typed at the call site, regles rules render as a bullet list, and the doc link points at demo-docaster.simvia-app.fr/versions/v17/. Surfaces the translation={...} short labels when present and is locale-aware (FR / EN via LANG). Variants for command, keyword, allowed-value literal, factor marker, plain-Python variable assignment, and legacy-command notes.
• Context-aware autocompletion — forward scanner replaces the old backward one (no longer confused by mid-edit unmatched quotes). Detects nested _F(...) scopes, suggests allowed into values when the cursor is in a value position, suggests previously-defined variables compatible with the SIMP's expected class (resolves callable sd_prod via __all__=True), and filters already-typed kwargs at every depth (not just the outer call). Snippet inserts: LIRE_MAILLAGE($0), KEY=$0, KEY=_F($0) — each retriggers the popup. Trigger characters expanded to (, ,, =, space; client-side hide-then-trigger keeps the suggest widget from sticking on "No suggestions".
• Edit-time diagnostics for .comm files with quick-fix code actions: unknown command, unknown keyword, value not in into, missing required keyword, regles violations, undefined variable, type mismatch, and a soft information note for legacy commands. Quick fixes offer fuzzy-matched replacements (Levenshtein) and allowed-value swaps. Wrapped end-to-end so a CATA quirk can never block hover, completion, or formatting.
• .comm formatter via python -m ruff format --quote-style=preserve --line-length=100. First-open prompt offers to install ruff with one click into the managed venv; PEP-668 retry with --user.
• .comm syntax grammar overhaul — TextMate rules rewritten around a function-call begin/end block with a nested parens sub-block so _F(...), tuples, and multi-line kwargs all color correctly. Lowercase scientific notation, Python constants (None/True/False), and lowercase kwarg names are now recognized. Single-quote auto-close added; wordPattern keeps _ attached.
• External links group in the sidebar (Star on GitHub, Rate on Marketplace, Browse code_aster website / documentation, Visit simvia.tech). Always at the bottom, always expanded.

Changed

• Status bar down to a single icon: $(symbol-namespace) neutral when 3+ command families are present in the file, $(circle-outline) warning-tinted otherwise. Click opens and expands the sidebar's Command browser group.
• Output channels unified under a code_aster: prefix — code_aster: Language Server (replaces the misleading Python Language Server), code_aster: Catalog, code_aster: Formatter. LSP error toasts updated accordingly.
• Language aliases are now code_aster (comm) and code_aster (export).
• Hover layout: signature first, then italic description, then details and rules, then doc-link footer. Drops the per-keyword inline # … doc strings to keep the signature scannable.
• Dream background off by default for new users (existing explicit-on choices preserved).

Fixed

• LSP restart() no longer recreates the LanguageClient, so hover / completion / code-action providers don't duplicate after cave use. Server env (catalog path) is refreshed by mutating serverOptions.options.env in place before bouncing.
• Sidebar and status bar wait for an LspServer.onReady event to re-probe, so the Command browser populates without a file switch even when the LSP starts after activation.
• Stale ~/.cave selections (image removed via docker rmi) now correctly fall back to the bundled catalog. The trash button on the version picker also clears the matching extracted-catalog cache.
• .comm CommandRegistry falls back to a full reparse when a single-line edit is outside any tracked command, so newly-typed top-level commands register immediately.
• pip install for ruff / LSP deps no longer passes --user unconditionally (broke venv installs); retried with --user only on PEP-668 errors.

v1.9.2

[1.9.2] - 2026-04-23

Better rendering for 1D meshes and a flatter, more readable face shading.

Added

• Standalone 1D edges (edges not shared with any face, e.g. beam elements) now render by default in the object color with a thin black contour. Line style adapts to parent opacity, wireframe mode, and the face-edge visibility rules (hide / show / threshold / gradual).

Fixed

• User-defined face groups whose name contains all_ (e.g. all_plates) are no longer mistakenly treated as file-level object actors.
• Face specular highlight removed, so colors no longer shift toward white (e.g. blue → turquoise) at camera-facing angles.

v1.9.1

[1.9.1] - 2026-04-23

New viewer toolbar actions (auto-rotate, video recording), a reorganized settings popup with a dedicated Toolbar tab, and a round of .export editor fixes.

Added

• Auto-rotate toolbar button with a right-click popover for session-only speed and reverse-direction; persistent defaults in Settings → Toolbar.
• Record toolbar button (mp4/h264 when supported, else webm, saved to .vs-code-aster/recordings/). Right-click menu offers whole-webview or without-sidebar variants. Whole-webview rasterizes the DOM and may briefly freeze the viewer on UI changes.
• Settings → Toolbar tab grouping each toolbar action with its persisted defaults.
• .export base directory support (R extension name D/DC/RC unit).
• .export max_base, testlist, expected_diag form fields.
• .export split basename / extension inputs, smarter default unit, and preservation of unknown lines.

Changed

• Viewer settings reorganized into Rendering, Groups, Visibility, Toolbar tabs.
• Dream background on by default.
• Screenshot right-click now opens a menu (was a direct full-webview capture).
• Canvas screenshots and recordings crop out the sidebar region so the mesh is centered in the output.
• Export form error/warning panel merged into one clickable list with per-field jumps.

Fixed

• .export file name / extension inputs no longer silently revert due to a state-sync feedback loop.
• Optional integer parameters no longer flagged as invalid when left empty.
• Fix the syntax in export file for base #28

v1.9.0

[1.9.0] - 2026-04-21

Volume and edge groups now appear in the viewer alongside face and node groups, a new "Groups" settings tab exposes per-kind display tweaks, the bundled vtk.js is replaced by the tree-shaken npm package, and an optional animated background adds a cosmetic touch.

Added

• Volume groups — med2obj.py now computes the skin of every volume group in a 3D .med mesh and writes it into the .obj as a dedicated group. The viewer renders them as their own category with a filled isometric cube icon, toggle-able independently from face groups.
• Edge groups — level -2 groups (1D named cells) are extracted too and rendered as lines via a new EdgeActorCreator. Line width and depth offset (to avoid z-fighting with the skin) are user-controllable.
• Groups settings tab — new tab in the viewer Settings popup covering:
  • Edge-group thickness slider (1–10 px)
  • Edge-group depth-offset toggle
  • Node-group point-size multiplier (0.25×–4×)
  • Sidebar sort order (natural / by cell count)
  • Bucket groups by kind (on by default; off merges all four kinds into a single list sorted by the same order)
• Group-kinds legend in the help popup's Groups tab, showing each icon with a short description.
• Edge threshold multiplier is now persisted across sessions via vs-code-aster.viewer.edgeThresholdMultiplier (was previously editable but lost on reopen).
• Dream background — optional cosmetic viewer setting (vs-code-aster.viewer.dreamBackground) that drifts four EDF orange/blue blobs behind the mesh via a WebGL fragment shader. Theme-aware: blob intensity adapts to light vs dark themes, peak intensity is capped so overlapping blobs never fully replace the theme color. Does not affect mesh lighting.

Changed

• vtk.js migrated to @kitware/vtk.js npm package — the 2.6 MB bundled script is gone, replaced by tree-shaken ES-module imports and real TypeScript types. Opens the door to regular version upgrades.
• Settings popup: the "Edges" tab is renamed to "Mesh edges" and its copy rewritten to distinguish the wireframe edges drawn on each cell from the new edge groups. Tab content now scrolls when it overflows instead of clipping.
• Sidebar groups now bucket volumes, faces, edges, and nodes in that order, each with its own icon.

Fixed

• Mesh edge colors now repaint immediately on theme switch instead of waiting for the next camera move.
• Translucent meshes (highlighted parent behind a selected sub-group) no longer wash out on light themes — vtk.js 35's Order-Independent Transparency pass is bypassed in favor of plain SRC_ALPHA blending.
• .obj files cached under .vs-code-aster/mesh_cache/ from older extension versions are invalidated when the converter changes (via the bumped med2obj-version: 2 header).
• Screenshots now work again after the vtk.js migration — the capture path switched to vtk.js's captureNextImage API (which doesn't depend on preserveDrawingBuffer), and the dream background is composited behind the mesh when enabled. The screenshot button's hover highlight is also stripped from the full-viewer capture so it no longer bakes into the saved image.

v1.8.1

[1.8.1] - 2026-04-20

Follow-up polish on the .export editor form: smarter autocomplete suggestions and the saved file now opens automatically after create/save.

Added

• Type-aware autocomplete — file name suggestions in the export form are now filtered by the selected F-line type so irrelevant files are hidden:
  • mmed / rmed rows accept .med, .mmed, .rmed, and any custom extension registered in vs-code-aster.medFileExtensions (so user-added MED extensions like .71 show up).
  • comm rows accept .com* (covers .comm, .com0, .com1, ...).
  • mess, msh, and dat rows require a literal extension match.
  • Types without a conventional extension (mail, base, libr, tab, nom) still accept any file.
• Autocomplete on output rows — output file name fields now use the same autocomplete dropdown as inputs, making it easy to reuse existing file names for outputs.
• Reveal on save — creating or saving an .export file from the form now opens the file in a text editor (or focuses the existing tab if it's already open), so you immediately see the formatted result. Stale tabs left over from a rename are closed automatically.

Fixed

• The hidden .vs-code-aster/ folder no longer appears in the export form's autocomplete suggestions.

[1.8.0] - 2026-04-20

Full rewrite of the .export form in Svelte + Tailwind, first-class language support for .export files (syntax highlighting, formatter, format-on-save), and a batch of UX upgrades.

Added

• Redesigned export form — rewritten in Svelte 5 + Tailwind 4, styled with VS Code theme tokens (--vscode-input-*, --vscode-focusBorder, --vscode-editorWarning-foreground, ...), so it looks native in every theme.
  • Tab icon is a blue pencil; tab title lives-updates to match the filename (falls back to untitled).
  • Titles inside the form adapt to mode: "Create a new export file" vs "Edit an export file".
  • New export files are pre-seeded with a sensible default: comm + mmed inputs and an rmed output, filenames simvia.comm / simvia.mmed / simvia.rmed.
  • .export extension locked as a visual suffix on the filename field — it can't be edited away.
  • Nested paths supported in the filename (subdir/file.export); missing folders are created on save.
  • Unsaved drafts persist via vscode.setState + retainContextWhenHidden, so switching tabs or reloading the panel no longer clears the form.
• File rows — drag-to-reorder (powered by svelte-dnd-action, theme-colored drop zones, keyboard-accessible); per-row × delete; full-width "Add input/output file" button at the end of each section.
  • Type dropdown is filtered by direction (inputs vs outputs) and shows a Type placeholder on new rows; the file-type list is the full code_aster set (comm, mmed, rmed, mess, nom, base, mail, libr, tab, msh, dat).
  • Unit auto-increment scoped to the same type and max+1 (so med: 20, 50 → next is 51, not 21), idempotent when re-picking the same type; nom rows are locked to unit 0; ArrowUp/Down steps integer inputs.
  • Name autocomplete list matches the type dropdown styling; empty rows (no type and no name) are ignored by validation and on save.
• Validation — per-field inline error messages, a sticky footer with clickable error / warning counts that smooth-scroll to the corresponding panel.
  • Blocking errors: filename required, parameters must be integers, at least one comm input file required.
  • Non-blocking warnings: duplicate unit across files (listing the file names), no mesh file set, no rmed output set, rename-in-edit-mode (tells the user the original file will be deleted).
• .export language support — new TextMate grammar (source.export) colors P/F directives, parameter names, file types, direction flags (D vs R/RC), unit numbers, and # comments.
• Document formatter for .export — available via Format Document. On save/create the form applies the same formatter automatically:
  • Groups lines into # Simulation parameters, # Input files, # Output files sections separated by blank lines.
  • Sorts F lines within each direction by a canonical type priority (comm, mmed, rmed, mess, nom, base, mail, libr, tab, msh, dat).
  • Keeps standalone # comments attached to the line they precede.
  • Emits a three-line header at the top crediting VS Code Aster and Simvia; re-saving is idempotent (no stacked headers).
• Dedicated pencil icon (media/images/icone-edit.svg) for the "Edit export file" command, replacing the plain $(book) codicon.
• Extension now activates on onLanguage:export, so opening a .export file registers the formatter without any prior command run.
• Refreshed Simvia logo (new SVG), separate light/dark variants for both Simvia and code_aster logos in the form header.

Changed

• Editing a file and changing its name now renames the file on disk (old file is deleted after the new one is written). A warning panel previews the rename before the user saves.
• When writing a file, the output is always formatted (P/F grouping, section headers, shoutout) — so files stay clean across multiple save cycles.

Fixed

• Loading an existing .export into the form (e.g. after a tab switch) no longer clobbers the pre-filled data with the seeded default.
• Removing the last row no longer leaves stale autocomplete suggestions keyed to the dead row.
• Missing parent directories no longer cause save to fail silently when the filename contains a path separator.

Removed

• The legacy vanilla HTML/CSS/JS export form (webviews/export/export.{html,css,js}) and its hardcoded blue-on-light styling.
• Unused media assets: media/images/aster.png, media/icons/3d.svg, media/icons/3d_light.svg.

[1.7.1] - 2026-04-17

Centralize extension-generated files under a single .vs-code-aster/ folder per project, with timestamped run logs and automatic migration from legacy locations.

Added

• Project-local .vs-code-aster/ folder grouping all extension-generated files:
  • mesh_cache/ — converted .obj files (previously .visu_data/)
  • screenshots/ — PNGs saved from the viewer's screenshot button (previously next to source files)
  • run_logs/ — one timestamped log per code_aster run (previously a single overwritten .vscode-aster-run.log)
• New vs-code-aster.maxRunLogs setting (default 10) to cap run-log retention; oldest logs are pruned when a new run starts
• med2obj-version header in generated .obj files: the extension now detects stale caches from older converter versions and regenerates them automatically
• Automatic migration of legacy .visu_data/ and .vscode-aster-run.log on first use, with info notifications so users know where files moved

New viewer toolbar with bounding box, wireframe, and screenshot tools.

Added

• Top toolbar in the mesh viewer with three new tools:
  • Bounding box: toggleable wireframe cube with colored axes (X red, Y green, Z blue), corner dots, a "0" origin marker, and dimension labels anchored in 3D
  • Wireframe mode: toggle between solid surface and wireframe rendering to inspect mesh density
  • Screenshot: left click saves the 3D view as PNG next to the source file and copies to clipboard; right click captures the full viewer including the sidebar
• Toolbar button tooltips using the same inline hover pattern as the rest of the UI
• Toolbar tab in the viewer help popup documenting the three new tools
• Updated README with diagnostics, terminal reuse, direct .med opening, and toolbar features
