title: Howl 0.5 released! | ||
location: Stockholm, Sweden | ||
--- | ||
|
||
We are very happy to announce the release of [Howl](http://howl.io/) 0.5! | ||
Highlights of this release are below and the full changelog since 0.4 is | ||
included at the bottom of this blog post. | ||

||
### Code inspection support | ||
|
||
Code inspections integrates various types of annotations, typically from linters | ||
and similar checkers, directly into Howl: | ||
|
||
![Buffer inspections](/images/screenshots/monokai/buffer-inspect.png) | ||
|
||
The 0.5 release ships with built-in inspection support for | ||
|
||
- Lua (using [luacheck](https://github.com/mpeterv/luacheck)) | ||
- Moonscript (using [moonpick](https://github.com/nilnor/moonpick)) | ||
- Ruby (using the interpreter's built-in syntax checking) | ||
|
||
Support for more languages will likely come in the future. It's easy to add | ||
support for your own custom inspectors as well using the new inspect API. | ||
|
||
### Revamped configuration system | ||
|
||
Howl has always had a pretty flexible configuration system, allowing you to set | ||
configuration for different layers: globally, for a specific mode or a specific | ||
buffer. With 0.5 this is cranked up a notch, as it's now possible to set | ||
configuration not only for the aforementioned layers, but for different type of | ||
scopes as well. Having scopes allows you to specify configuration for a | ||
particular file for instance, or all files below a particular directory. Or | ||
files using a particular mode below a particular directory.. It makes for a very | ||
powerful and flexible configuration system, and is something that future | ||
releases is likely to build upon, e.g. to introduce project specific | ||
configuration, etc. | ||
|
||
You can read more about the new configuration system in the | ||
[manual](/doc/manual/configuration.html#configuration-variables). | ||
|
||
### New bundles | ||
|
||
- A new [Rust](http://www.rust-lang.org) bundle was added with lexing and | ||
indentation support. | ||
|
||
- A new Cython bundle provides syntax and structure support for | ||
[Cython](http://cython.org) code. | ||
|
||
- A new Dart bundle provides syntax and structure support for | ||
[Dart](https://www.dartlang.org) code. | ||
|
||

|
||
### New and improved commands | ||
|
||
- Added new commands `editor-move-text-left` and `editor-move-text-right`, bound | ||
to `alt_left` and `alt_right` by default. These move the current character or | ||
selected text left or right by one character while preserving the selection. | ||
|
||
- Added new commands `editor-move-lines-up` and `editor-move-lines-down`, bound | ||
to `alt_up` and `alt_down` by default. These move the current or selected lines | ||
up (or down) by one line while preserving the selection. | ||
|
||
- Added new command, `editor-replace-exec`, for replacing selection or buffer | ||
content with the result of piping it to an external command. | ||
|
||

|
||
- **breaking** - Default for `line-padding` setting has been changed to `0`. If | ||
you've relied on it: set it explicitly to its' previous value `1` in your Howl | ||
configuration. | ||
|
||
- **breaking** - Overhauled the configuration system to use a flexible *scope* | ||
and *layer* structure. Replaced all 'set*' commands with a new `set` command as | ||
part of this. See the documentation for more details. | ||
|
||
- Added `config.save_config_on_exit` variable to automatically save global | ||
configuration to `~/.howl/system/config.lua`. | ||
|
||
- Added the `save-config` command that saves the current global configuration to | ||
`~/.howl/system/config.lua`. | ||
|
||

ordinary edit revisions). | ||
|
||
- Added `custom_draw` flair type (`highlight.CUSTOM`). | ||
|
||
- Added command line help which is invoked by pressing `f1` while any | ||
interactive command is running. This displays a popup containing information | ||
about the command. | ||
|
||
- Added new commands `editor-move-text-left` and `editor-move-text-right`, bound | ||
to `alt_left` and `alt_right` by default. These move the current character or | ||
selected text left or right by one character while preserving the selection. | ||
|
||
- Added new commands `editor-move-lines-up` and `editor-move-lines-down`, bound | ||
to `alt_up` and `alt_down` by default. These move the current or selected lines | ||
up (or down) by one line while preserving the selection. | ||
|
||
- Bundled all required dependencies for running specs: `./bin/howl-spec` can now | ||
be run without any type of external dependecy. | ||
|
||
- Upgrade Moonscript to 0.5.0 | ||
|
||
- Added new command, `editor-replace-exec`, for replacing selection or buffer | ||
