bashd version history

0.3.0 Oct 18, 2026

What's Changed

• Configurable workspace diagnostics by @matkrin in https://github.com/matkrin/bashd/pull/10
• This adds the functionality to suppress workspace diagnostics when the
configuration updates (workspace/didChangeConfiguration) by the boolean
settings workspace_diagnostics_on_update with the default value of true.

  • Further, there is a boolean flag --no-workspace-diagnostics-on-update,
  • serving the same purpose.

• The workspace diagnostics checking was removed from initialize as it was
redundant, as on startup, the initial configuration is also transferred via
workspace/didChangeConfiguration, i.e. diagnostics where checked twice in the
past.

Fixes

  • Omit empty documentSymbol.children
  • Double checking of workspace diagnostics on startup
