v0.7.0-rc.1

[WebFreak001]

What's Changed since last pre-release

User Changes

• Update DCD to 0.13.6
  • Windows downloads precompiled releases again
• Auto completion after __EOF__ token is now disabled
• Removed d.completeNoDupes, it's now handled by d.argumentSnippets along with the new auto-complete rendering
• Added support for details and description in CompletionItemLabel (thanks to @RUSshy)
• Ported the profilegc.log parsing from code-d to serve-d (allows usage in other editors)
• d.stdlibPath: "auto" will now first look for stdlib paths based on the dubCompiler setting, allowing you to first check for a specific LDC compiler, then for system DMD and LDC paths if they are not found
• Added smart else snippet after if blocks
• fixed snippets in unittests
• fixed various crashes

Developer Changes

• rpc: Non-object or array parameters in JSON RPC are no longer allowed and will trigger parameter errors (as per spec) and are properly parsed now - if you use the vscode lsp client, it will already handle this for you since the latest release
• serverbase: You can now set productName in LanguageServerConfig to make logs generated by it write your LSP server's name
• serverbase: You can now set gcCollectSeconds in LanguageServerConfig to any different interval in seconds to modify the automatic background GC collection frequency. You can also set it to 0 to disable it.
• Optional can now be casted to bool to check isNull
• FileReader now properly terminates when stdin is closed (yieldLine could return null now)
• Implemented result streaming for requests with partialResultToken - for methods returning arrays you can implement them multiple times, all of the functions will be run in parallel and the results will be concatenated (also works without the partialResultToken)
