I made a Racer v1.0.0 release!

This doesn’t represent any particular milestone in Racer’s development, but rather I wanted to draw a line in the sand before Racer embarks on future architectural changes. A bunch of people have made editor + ide plugins that rely on Racer’s under-specified output protocol and so having a release to point at will help a bit with plugin compatibility. I am planning to stick to semver versioning so it is likely there will be a v1.0.1 soon!

For the future I would like to see Racer mature into a fully fledged library and binary for supporting IDE authors. In addition to better completions, Racer has potentual to provide support for dynamic type-checking, code assistance and refactoring. To deliver this functionality Racer will need to work much closer with rustc and, due to the overheads in running queries through the compiler infrastructure, will likely need to operate as a long running process/library, holding state and caching information. Unfortunately it is also likely that future Racer versions may only build with rust-nightly due to a tighter coupling with unstable rustc internals.

Racer is an evening/weekends spare time project for me, and I am very grateful to everyone who helped out submitting patches, bugfixes and suggestions over the last year. In particular, thanks to:
