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.
This option existed so that the user can tweak it if they found the default idle
timeout too short, for instance if they leave their machine on over the weekend.
This use case is now covered by the new YcmdKeepalive system that pings ycmd
every 10 minutes as long as Vim is running. This prevents ycmd shutting down if
one leaves their Vim instance alone for a long time.
Thus the old option is useless now; ycmd now shuts down after 3 hours of
inactivity, which should only ever happen when its corresponding Vim instance
has shut down abnormally.
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.
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.
Syntastic would run SyntasticCheck on file save, which would unconditionally
call _latest_file_parse_request.Response() and thus block until the request
returned from the server. We don't want that, so we throw in an explicit check
for the request being ready.
Now, every FileReadyToParse event returns diagnostics, if any. This is instead
of the previous system where the diagnostics were being fetched in a different
request (this caused race conditions).
There appear to be timing issues for the diag requests. Somehow, we're sending
out-of-date diagnostics and then not updating the UI when things change.
That needs to be fixed.
