feat: customize paste behaviors in vscode (#2238)
Close #1830 and close #2063 

The hook script feature is available since `tinymist` v0.14.2.

Hook Scripts allow you to hook and customize certain behaviors of tinymist by providing code snippets that will be executed at specific events.

The hook scripts are run as typst scripts with some predefined variables. Since typst is sandboxed, the hook scripts cannot access system directly. However, you can still bind lsp commands to perform complex operations.

See https://myriad-dreamin.github.io/tinymist/feature/script-hook.html.

Release Instructions

Normally, you should always create release candidates to avoid failures in the release process. For example, if you are releasing version 0.12.19, you should create a release candidate 0.12.19-rc1 first. This is because once you tag a version, you cannot delete it, otherwise the people in downstream that already pull the tag will have to force update their repository. The release candidates are canaries to test any potential poison in the release process. Two things to note:

  • At most 9 release candidates can be created for a version. This is because semver compares the version number as a string, and rc9 is greater than rc10 in sense of string comparison.
  • You must publish the release soon after a good release candidate is created, otherwise CI may fail tomorrow.

The steps to release are list as following:

  • Checking before releases.
  • Making a release PR.
  • Tagging and pushing current revision to release

Checking before Releases

Checking the Cargo.toml and the Cargo.lock

A git with branch dependency is forbidden in the Cargo.toml file. This will cause the Cargo.lock file to be unstable and the build to fail. Use the git with tag dependencies instead.

Checking publish tokens

Please check the deadline of the publish tokens stored in the GitHub secrets. If the tokens are expired, please renew them before release.

Making a Release PR

You should perform following steps to make a release PR with name in format of build: bump version to {version}:

Determining the Version Number

Before release, you should determine the version number to release.

Tinymists versions follow the Semantic Versioning scheme, in format of MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Besides, tinymist follows special rules for the version number:

  • If a version is suffixed with -rcN (

    typst-frame

    ), e.g. 0.11.0-rc1 and 0.12.1-rc1, it means this version is a release candidate. It is used to test publish script and E2E functionalities. These versions will not be published to the marketplace.

  • If the PATCH number is odd, e.g. 0.11.1 and 0.12.3, it means this version is a nightly release. The nightly release will use both tinymist and typst at main branch. They will be published as prerelease version to the marketplace. Note that in nightly releases, we change #sys.version to the next minor release to help develop documents with nightly features. For example, in tinymist nightly v0.12.1 or v0.12.3, the #sys.version is changed to version(0, 13, 0).

  • Otherwise, if the PATCH number is even, e.g. 0.11.0 and 0.12.2, it means this version is a regular release. The regular release will always use the recent stable version of tinymist and typst.

Updating Version String in Codebase

Update Version String in Codebase other than that of tinymist-assets, which will be released in the tinymist::assets::publish CI. You can grep the version number in the repository to check if all the version numbers in the Cargo.toml and package.json files are updated. Some CI script will also assert failing to help you catch the issue.

Updating the Changelog

All released version must be documented in the changelog. The changelog is located at editors/vscode/CHANGELOG.md. Please ensure the correct format otherwise CI will fail.

Publishing the tinymist-assets crate

Run the tinymist::assets::publish CI to release the tinymist-assets crate. Ensure that the tinymist-assets crate is published to the registry. Please see Cargo.lock to check the released crate is used correctly.

After publish, you should update tinymist-assets version in the Cargo.toml file.

Tagging and Pushing Current Revision to Release

Push a tag to the repository with the version number. For example, if you are releasing version 0.12.19, you should run the following command:

$ git tag v0.12.19
$ git push --tag

This step will trigger the ci.yml CI to build and publish the VS Code extensions to the marketplace.
