Cody for VS Code 0.6.5

What's New

We're excited to share the latest improvements in Cody! This release enhances fixups, autocompletion, refactors to streamline code, dependency updates, and bug fixes.

Recipes are now Commands

What used to be Recipes are now Commands. Instead of accessing them from a tab, you can now find them in the chat message box by typing /:

Or use the keyboard shortcut cmd+shift+v (⇧⌘V) to bring up the Command Menu:

Cody has also been moved to the correct position in the right-click context menu:

Enhanced Autocompletion

• Upgraded to StarCoder 7b model for higher quality autocomplete suggestions (#560)
• Added test case and benchmark for new StarCoder model (#540)
• Improved codebase context inference for autocomplete embeddings (#525)
• Include current file name in anthropic prompt for more relevant suggestions (#579)

Improvements to Fixups!

• You can now run parallel fixups
  • No need to wait for an existing one to finish
• With a single click, you can ask Cody to fix errors and warnings in your editor
  • Or ask Cody to explain, and it will immediately open a new inline chat
• Lots of response quality improvements. Cody is better at returning actual code that is related to your instructions.
• You can now create fixes on empty selection ranges, meaning you can generate code like you might do with completions but with additional instructions!

Code Refactors

• Restructured custom commands configuration for better organization (#561, #571)
• Consolidated inline and non-stop fixup code paths (#510)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed file watcher leaks in commands controller (#564)
• Fixed recipe file watcher exhausting system resources (#565)
• Handled errors from Git extension APIs (#562)
• Fixed relative pattern matching in file watchers (#573)
• Fixed GitHub Copilot suppressing Ctrl+Enter in comment UI (#551)

Dependency Updates

• Upgraded Node.js to v18 (#519)
• Updated React and other JavaScript dependencies (#515)

Check out the full changelog for more details. We appreciate all the contributors who helped improve Cody this release! Feel free to let us know if you have any other feedback.
