Version 1.11.0 RC 1

SQF 🎉

HEMTT now includes its own SQF Compiler! A very big thanks to @ScottyThePilot for their sqf repo, which HEMTT's SQF parser is derived from.

Currently, errors messages are limited, and not much is checked beyond valid syntax. This will be expanded in future versions.

This version does ensure that every SQF file is valid, and compiled to SQFC, now on MacOS too! Files that are intended only to be included, like initSettings.sqf, will now need to use .inc.sqf to indicate they do not need to be valid on their own.

It is using the new acemod/arma3-wiki project to get updated commands within hours of them hitting the wiki, and without needing an update to HEMTT!

Please report any issues with this RC, or leave suggestions for analysis, for SQF or Configs.

Migrate from 1.8.0

addon.toml uses [rapify] instead of [preprocess].
[preprocess] will still work currently, but is deprecated and a warning will be emitted.
preprocess = false will now result in an error instead of a warning
Read the addon configuration for examples.

Warnings

As part of the preprocessor rewrite in 1.9.0, and the config rewrite in 1.8.0, HEMTT is now more correct, more performance, and better able to provide insights into config.

This will be used in an upcoming HEMTT Language Server, which will provide warnings and errors in your IDE.

You can read the new entry in The HEMTT Book to learn more about HEMTT's warnings.

If you have suggestions for additional warnings, please open an issue.

Full Changelog: v1.8.0...v1.9.0-rc1

Version 1.8.0

Internal Rewrite

The config parser has been completely rewritten, along with a whole new error reporting system.

This change allows for better detection and recovery of errors, no longer stopping on the first issue encountered.

The way the config parser interacts with the preprocessor has also be overhauled, this change opens up much easier ability to add SQF, style checking, static analysis, and more into future HEMTT versions.

The changes to the error reporting system will also allow easier community contributions for additional errors and warnings, and allows for a Language Server, a VSCode extension is already on the way, and extensions for other IDEs would be possible as well.

Simple Compile-Time Math

Simple math can be evaluated at runtime. + - * / ^ % () are supported.

value = 1 + 2 * 2
// after hemtt
value = 5;

Use quotes to keep the value as is and have Arma evaluate it at runtime.
