1.19.0

BoxLang IDE 1.19.0 — Project mappings, config file generators, LSP lifecycle improvements, and external LSP support

What's New

• Project Mapping Configuration — New boxlang.mappings setting for defining virtual-path-to-filesystem mappings directly in VS Code settings. Legacy mapping settings are automatically migrated.

• Config File Generators — New Command Palette workflows to scaffold configuration files:

  • boxlang.ui.createBxlintConfig — Generate a .bxlint.json with all lint rules and defaults

  • boxlang.ui.createFormatterConfig — Generate a .bxformat.json for formatting settings

  • boxlang.ui.convertCFFormatConfig — Convert an existing cfformat.json to .bxformat.json

• External LSP Improvements — Better handling of externally managed LSP connections. Avoids unnecessary restarts, suppresses duplicate command registration, and adds better startup diagnostics.

• LSP Lifecycle Refinements — Enhanced error handling with dedicated InvalidLSPInstallationError, validation for Java executable paths, timeout handling for silent LSP processes, and buffer caps for large stdout output.
