Changelog

• New request kinds next to REST: GraphQL, SOAP, OData, tRPC, WebSocket and gRPC, mixed in the same collections and folders
• GraphQL: query, variables and operation name; schema panel from introspection; field suggestions

• tRPC queries and mutations, batch, result.data view
• WebSocket: connect, send text/JSON/binary, saved message templates, live message log
• gRPC: unary and server streaming via server reflection or a .proto file
• Collections belong to the open project; save them to .ferrum/api in the repo to share with the team
• Webhook inspector from the sidebar; save a capture into a collection

• Project bar at the top: the project's name, path and branch; ⌥⌘O switches between recent projects shared by all Ferrum apps

• Can run without a Dock icon: turn on Hide from Dock on its page in Ferrum Launcher 0.8.0
• fee, feg and the other Ferrum shell commands work in every session (run `fterm server stop` once so the server restarts with them)

First alpha.

• Every listening port with its process, command and project
• Open in the browser, copy, or stop a process safely
• Free-port check and well-known port hints
• Project bar at the top: the project's name, path and branch; ⌥⌘O switches between recent projects shared by all Ferrum apps

• FerrumDock is now FerrumContainers: the launcher installs FerrumContainers.app and removes the old FerrumDock.app (and its Windows shortcut)
• FerrumEnv's new FeE logo
• Fixed: FerrumPorts, FerrumEnv and the launcher itself showed the wrong logo or a plain icon

Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Amygdal-doo/ferrum-releases/main/install.sh | bash

• New apps: FerrumPorts and FerrumEnv, with the shell commands fep and fev
• Shell commands now also work in non-login shells: the PATH line goes into .zprofile and .zshrc, and is repaired at startup

Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Amygdal-doo/ferrum-releases/main/install.sh | bash

• Shell commands: on each app's page, turn on a command like `fee` (Ferrum Editor), `feg` (FerrumGIT) or `fet` (FerrumTerm). `fee .` opens Ferrum Editor on the current folder, like `zed .`. Off by default; the name is yours to change.
• Global shortcuts that open an app from anywhere
• Hide any Ferrum app from the Dock
• Settings → Show Ferrum Launcher in the menu bar: open apps from there; closing the window keeps the launcher running
• The launcher's own logo is the new FeL everywhere

Install: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Amygdal-doo/ferrum-releases/main/install.sh | bash

• Language servers install themselves: open a Rust, Go, TypeScript or JavaScript file (or Python, JSON, CSS, HTML, YAML, TOML, shell) and Ferrum Editor installs its server and starts it. Nothing to run in a terminal.
• rust-analyzer through rustup (or its official release), gopls with go install, TypeScript and the others with npm. When Node.js or Go is missing, the official release is downloaded too and checked against its SHA-256.
• Progress shows in the status bar; a failed install opens its log on click. Servers you installed yourself are used first.
• Turn it off with auto_install = false under [lsp] in config.toml.

Ferrum Editor is now the suite's code editor (Ferrum IDE is no longer offered).

• Autocomplete while you type (or Ctrl+Space) from your language server, with snippets and auto-imports; words from the file when there is none
• Problems: errors and warnings underlined, shown on hover, F8 to step through, counts in the status bar, Ctrl+Shift+M for the full list
• Go to definition with F12 or Cmd+click; Ctrl+- goes back
• Works with the servers you have installed: rust-analyzer, typescript-language-server, pyright, gopls and more (the status bar tells you what to install)
• Tasks: Cmd+B builds, Cmd+Shift+B lists tasks from Cargo, Go, package.json, Makefile and .vscode/tasks.json; they run in the terminal and their errors become problems
• Git: a Git tab in the sidebar (Ctrl+Shift+G) to stage, commit, pull and push, and an Editor | Git switch at the top right (Cmd+Alt+G) for diffs and history; the rest opens FerrumGIT
• Terminal panel at the bottom: toggle it from the button in the bottom-right corner or with ⌃`; tabs keep running while hidden
• Themes: picker with live preview (theme:select), your own TOML themes in ~/.ferrum/editor/themes, and VS Code colour theme import
• File icons in the tree view, tabs, file finder and search results; load your own icon themes from ~/.ferrum/editor/icon-themes

• FerrumDock is now FerrumContainers: new name, window title and app bundle (FerrumContainers.app). Settings, shortcuts and the fec shell command carry over.
• Update Ferrum Launcher to 0.8.2 first, so it removes the old FerrumDock.app

• Project scope: the open project's containers and compose files
• Compose: Up from a compose file, per-project ps and combined logs
• Run a new container (image, ports, env, volumes, command, restart policy)

• Logs: save to file, regex search, since filter
• Stats: CPU and memory charts, network and disk I/O
• Docker contexts with an engine picker
• Images: tag, layer history, run from image
• Project bar at the top: the project's name, path and branch; ⌥⌘O switches between recent projects shared by all Ferrum apps

• Multi-cursor editing, find and replace (regex), find in files, git gutter, Markdown preview
• Tree-sitter highlighting for Rust, JS/TS, JSON, TOML, YAML, Markdown, Python, Go, HTML, CSS and Bash
