Not all those who wander are lost. – J.R.R. Tolkien Today I’m happy to announce Flycheck 38 - easily the biggest and most ambitious Flycheck release since I took over the stewardship of the project. It’s the release where Flycheck grows a proper story for language servers, gets the kind of inline diagnostics you’d expect from a modern editor, and learns to apply fixes - all without giving up the checker model that made it popular in the first place. The version number, I’ll admit, doesn’t do this one justice - it’s just the next integer after 37, and nothing about “38” whispers “special”. But that’s how it goes with version numbers: some releases are more special than others, and you’d rarely guess which from the number alone.
