v1.5.5

What's Changed

• indent-guides: New indent guide lines for better visual alignment in code.
• logo: Added CharVim logo SVG to README.

v1.5.4

This release moves the Charvim installation directory from ~/.config/charvim to ~/.charvim to avoid conflicts with other Neovim configurations.

Changed

• setup: Charvim now installs to ~/.charvim instead of ~/.config/charvim, preventing conflicts with other configs using the standard ~/.config/nvim path.

v1.5.3

[1.5.3] - 2026-06-29

This release introduces a revamped dashboard with a grid button layout and live version display, new quality-of-life features (save popup, update checker, uninstall manager), and a major CI overhaul with automated smoke tests and AI-powered error reporting.

Added

• dashboard: Rewritten alpha dashboard with a two-column button grid, hotkey navigation, and a "Docs" button that opens the wiki.
• dashboard: Footer now displays CharVim version (parsed from CHANGELOG) alongside the Neovim version.
• save-popup: New <leader>W save popup with Save, Save As, Format & Save, and Save All options (Telescope-powered).
• update-checker: Background version check against GitHub releases; prompts with an interactive Telescope popup when a new version is available.
• uninstall: New :CharvimUninstall command with options to reinstall, normal uninstall (config only), or complete uninstall (config + plugins + repo).
• user-customization: Support for git-ignored user.lua and user-plugins.lua templates auto-created on first run, allowing personal overrides without conflicts.
• ci: Headless smoke test verifying init.lua loads without errors.
• ci: Module export validation (checks required public API functions exist).
• ci: AI-powered error reporting with Gemma 3 (1B) — generates structured GitHub issues on failure.

Changed

• ci: Neovim installation switched from PPA to official AppImage for reproducibility.
• ci: Workflow now has issues: write permission for automatic issue creation on failure.
• dashboard: Replaced inline button definitions with a configurable grid system and per-item keymaps registered on AlphaReady.
• lsp: filter_diagnostics now safely handles nil diagnostic messages.

Fixed

• lsp: Fixed nil error when diagnostic.message is nil.

This release introduces local AI code completion, multiple theme support, and integrated linting. GitHub Copilot has been removed in favor of a fully local solution.

Added

• ai: Integrated avante.nvim with Ollama + Qwen 2.5 Coder for local AI-assisted code completion and chat.
