Clarion Extension v0.7.4 Released :rocket:

I’m pleased to announce the release of Clarion Extension v0.7.4 for Visual Studio Code.

:bug: Bug Fix – Follow Cursor Focus Issue

A focus-stealing issue with Follow Cursor has been resolved. Previously, the Structure View could be unexpectedly brought into focus while typing.

:white_check_mark: New behaviour:
Follow Cursor now only auto-reveals when the Structure View is actually visible, preventing unwanted editor focus changes while keeping the feature fully functional.

Technical note:
This was caused by treeView.reveal() being called even when the Clarion Tools sidebar was hidden. It is now correctly gated by visibility.

:warning: Important Reminder: Breaking Change from v0.7.3

If you’re upgrading from v0.7.2 or earlier, please note that v0.7.3 introduced a folder-based workflow:

  • :white_check_mark: .code-workspace files are no longer used
  • :white_check_mark: Open your solution folder directly
  • :white_check_mark: Settings are now stored per project in:

.vscode/settings.json
  • :white_check_mark: Recent solutions are tracked globally for quick access

Migration Notes

Most users will migrate automatically. If you hit any issues:

  1. Open the folder containing your Clarion solution
  2. Let the extension detect your .sln file (or browse to select it)
  3. Settings will be saved into the folder’s .vscode/settings.json
