Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for slint-ui/slint: Focused on reliability and CI stability to reduce editor and CI disruptions. Delivered two critical fixes: (1) LSP robustness when the Preview process terminates, ensuring non-failing message delivery and preventing LSP crashes; (2) CI stabilization by explicitly installing the stable Rust toolchain to bypass mise, ensuring consistent builds and linting. These changes improved developer experience, reduced CI flakiness, and contributed to more predictable release readiness.

Key features delivered: - Slintpad Editor UX: automatic preview when opening the first editor, improving early feedback for new files. - Slintpad Editor stability: robust editor disposal and subsequent goto-definition reliability, reducing crashes and regressions during navigation. - Live-preview core UX and layout: improved select-mode persistence after user actions, property sorting enhancements, corrected height calculations, and cleanup of design-mode related code for a more predictable design experience. - Live-preview: Popup and selection UI enhancements: prettier filenames in the selection popup, elided text for readability, and right-click hints to improve discoverability. - Interpreter and Source Code Navigation: broadened element discovery within source code and introduced tests for element_node_at_source_position to boost reliability of navigation features. - Reuse and dependencies: updated to newer reuse version and refreshed dependencies to keep the project aligned with upstream changes. - Docsnapper improvements: window sizing derived from input, sorting files for reproducible outputs, and a scale option to support flexible documentation workflows. - LSP usability improvements: image previews on hover and a bug fix to @image-url handling to improve language tooling reliability. Major bugs fixed: - Slintpad Editor lifecycle stability: fixes around disposing editors and related data, plus a repeatable fix for goto-definition. - LSP image-url handling: bug fix to ensure proper recognition and behavior. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Significantly improved editor stability and first/editor feedback loops, enabling faster iteration and reducing runtime issues in editor usage. - Substantial gains in live-preview usability and performance, including smarter selection behavior, better property organization, and more predictable height/layout behavior. - Enhanced code navigation reliability with broader element discovery in source and added validation tests. - Strengthened build and tooling quality through dependency updates and reproducible docs generation. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - Live-preview architecture and UX design, including select-mode workflows and caching strategies. - Editor lifecycle, navigation integration, and test-driven improvement for code navigation features. - Dependency management, reuse versioning, and docs tooling enhancements (Docsnapper). - LSP integration: hover previews and URL handling robustness.
