# v0.20.0

## Added

• Added help-text and visited accessibility properties
• Added a --minify argument to compile and batch-compile to emit XML with no comments or whitespace

### Language Server

• Added the signature of a long block as an inlay hint at the end of the block
• Added completions for available namespaces when typing a class name
• Added completions for imports
• Added completion for translation-domain
• Added object value completions
• Completions are now sorted. Up to five commonly used completions are highlighted at the top, based on statistics from a collection of open-source projects that use Blueprint.
• Hovering over the object in a signal shows the object's signature

## Changed

• blueprint-compiler now uses libgirepository to load typelib information, rather than a custom parser.
• Lookup expressions on an object reference no longer emit an unnecessary <constant> tag

## Fixed

• Skip unchanged files in batch-compile to prevent unnecessary rebuilds (Alice Mikhaylenko)
• Don't allow assigning true or false to an object
• Reversed the GIR search order so it searches user-configured paths before default ones (Qiu Wenbo)
• The decompiler properly quotes Gio.File properties
• Fixed a crash when an Adw.AlertDialog response block is malformed
• Error messages in the CLI show at least one caret under the source code line, even for diagnostics reported with zero length

• Fixed a crash when an error is reported on an empty last line
• The decompiler no longer emits unnecessary signal flags
• Closure arguments are now type checked
• Expressions in property bindings are now type checked
• Added support for more primitive types and added type checking for conversions between them
• Fixed a crash when a string array is empty
• Bindings consisting of a single lookup can use flags even if they have a cast at the end

### Language Server

• Completions no longer add the body of an object when you're editing the class name of an existing object. Made similar changes for properties and signals.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when you hovered over a reference to an object that has an invalid class name.
• Signal completions now include a default name for the handler function

## Documentation
