In the last post, I tried to explain why the new Tree-sitter integration was worth writing about in the first place: because we needed to integrate it into a system defined by TextMate grammars, and we had to solve some challenging problems along the way.

Today I’ll try to illustrate what that system looks like and why it’s important.

The last few releases of Pulsar have been bragging about a feature that arguably isn’t even new: our experimental “modern” Tree-sitter implementation. You might’ve read that phrase a few times now without fully understanding what it means, and an explanation is long overdue.

This is the first of a series of articles about Pulsar’s ongoing project to migrate its Tree-sitter implementation to a more modern version. Read this first installment now on the Pulsar Blog

Our next release has arrived, and we are excited to share all the changes we have been making over the last month. We have a smorgasbord of bug fixes and QoL improvements.

We have completely overhauled our CI, converted the last of our CoffeeScript, removed the defunct "autoUpdate" API, improved our "about" package, squashed a bunch of bugs and even found ways to reduce our cloud costs!

A look into the significant ways that Pulsar's CI has recently changed. The why and how behind what happened.

Check out the latest community update on the Pulsar Blog!

In store for you this month we have some massive changes to our CI process, some good news for Windows Chocolatey users, a new option for Pulsar's title bar, some improvements to our ppm unpublish command and work on a brand new utility to help clean up elements of a Pulsar installation.

I know it has been a long time coming but this is finally open! All of our normal posts that you would see announced to Reddit or to Mastodon will also be posted here and there will be some of us around in order to answer questions and provide support.

You can also join us on other social channels found in our community areas - we will start adding the link to this community on the website and other areas soon.
