When I initially released this project, I released it under my own copyright. I
have since then worked on it in my 20% time at Google (and want to continue
doing this) and my life becomes much simpler if the copyright is Google's.
From the perspective of how this project is run and managed, **NOTHING**
changes. YCM is not a Google product, merely a project run by someone who just
happens to work for Google.
Please note that the license of the project is **NOT** changing.
People sending in future pull requests will have to sign the Google
[CLA](https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual) (you can sign
online at the bottom of that page) before those pull requests could be merged
in. People who sent in pull requests that were merged in the past will get an
email from me asking them to sign the CLA as well.
Previously we'd show a Python traceback if the user asked for a detailed
diagnostic in a file that wasn't supported by Clang (something written in Python
perhaps). Now we show an nice, far less scary message informing the user of
this.
Fixes#748.
Previously, we'd implicitly turn off future notices about unknown extra conf
files if we already raised one exception about it. This breaks when the user
ends up not receiving the "unknown extra conf, load?" message.
Now we only turn off the notice as a result of the user saying "don't load this"
so that if the first request fails to reach them, they'll get a second (and
third etc) request about it.
Fixes#615
[vimwiki][] has a markdown-like syntax, which doesn't bode well with YCM
(flickering "pattern not found" messages, performance hits with long prose).

Defaults are kill server after 12 hours of inactivity; the reason why it's 12
hours and not less is because we don't want to kill the server when the user
just left his machine (and Vim) on during the night.
If we install an explicit signal handler for SIGTERM and SIGINT and then call
sys.exit ourselves, atexit handlers are run. If we don't call sys.exit from the
handler, ycmd never shuts down. So fixed... I think. We'll see.
Fixes #577... again.
atexit won't run registered functions for SIGTERM which we send to the server.
This prevents clean shutdown.
Also making sure that the server logfiles are deleted as well.
Previously the YCM Vim client would go bonkers when ycmd crashed. Now the user
can continue using Vim just without YCM functionality.
Also added a :YcmRestartServer command to let the user restart ycmd if it
crashed. With a little luck, this will be rarely necessary.
This means we can now load just ycm_client_support (which is a much smaller
library) into Vim and ycm_core into ycmd. Since ycm_client_support never depends
on libclang.so, we never have to load that into Vim which makes things much,
much easier.
This changes functionality, but since this is an undocumented, non-public API,
it's fine. The reason this is required is because of issue #579; if we try to
run extra conf preload on non-global extra conf, we might not have the
permission to load it. The global extra conf is something the user explicitly
has to set so it's always fine to load that.
