History of user-visible changes

2026-07-21 (1.1.0)

• company-tooltip-minimum-width has a new value: 15.
• company-tooltip-maximum-width: same, 100.
• company-tooltip-width-grow-only learned how to grow only up to particular size (implemented in company--create-lines). The default value is 50.
• company-childframe gets enabled by default on NS/Mac/W32/PGTK systems, and on all others (notably X11 builds) when Emacs is at least 31.1. (#1542).
• Default key bindings have been changed, moving company-show-doc-buffer and company-show-location to M-h and M-g (from C-h/<f1> and C-w) (#1537). The previous bindings still work, but show a warning and will be removed after the next release. To undo that change locally, do:

(with-eval-after-load 'company
  (define-key company-active-map (kbd "C-h") #'company-show-doc-buffer)
  (define-key company-active-map (kbd "<f1>") #'company-show-doc-buffer)
  (define-key company-active-map (kbd "C-w") #'company-show-location)
  (define-key company-active-map (kbd "M-h") nil)
  (define-key company-active-map (kbd "M-g") nil))

• company-search-regexp-function defaults to company-search-words-in-any-order-regexp. Another alternative value for it was also added: company-search-flex-words-in-any-order-regexp, working somewhat similar to the popular completion style Orderless.
• The search faces in the popup inherit from isearch.
• New option company-global-minibuffer for completion during eval-expression (M-:). The "pseudo-tooltip" frontend is not supported by this feature, company-childframe is recommended instead.
• C-M-i is bound to company-complete-common when completion is active.
• Search mode input is displayed at the bottom of the popup (#1535).
• New built-in frontend using "real graphical" widget for the popup (#1525). This also adds a hard dependency on the package posframe.
• The default light theme colors were changed to a more neutral set, and the scroll bar background was removed (#1529).
• The minimum required version of Emacs is now 26.1.
• TAB binding changed to company-complete-common-or-cycle, and backtab binding to company-cycle-backward (#1499).
• Completion is restarted if it enters a new "field" at the end, as indicated by the adjust-boundaries backend action (#1497). This benefits file name (and directory) completion. The user option company-files-chop-trailing-slash has been removed, and the post-completion handler in company-files has been removed as well.
• Handle the case when the current c-a-p-f function changes mid-session (#1494).

2024-09-23 (1.0.2)

• More reliable cache expiration (at the beginning of completion).

2024-09-21 (1.0.1)

• Fix for failover from a backend group to the next backend.

2024-09-21 (1.0.0)

• company-complete-common now performs generalized expand common part completion when the backend supports that. In particular, for completion-at-point-functions it queries completion-try-completion. company-dabbrev-code and company-etags also do that when completion-styles support is enabled.
• company-dabbrev-other-buffers and company-dabbrev-code-other-buffers can now take a function as its value (#1485)
• Completion works in the middle of a symbol (#1474).
• New user option company-inhibit-inside-symbols. Set it to t to switch closer to the previous behavior.
• Improved behavior when user types new character while completion is being computed: better performance, less blinking (in the rare cases when it still happened). This affects native async backends and is opt-in with company-capf.
• For that, company-capf supports interrupting computation on new user input. Completion functions that want to take advantage of this behavior should include :company-use-while-no-input t in the returned properties.
• company-elisp has been removed. It's not needed since Emacs 24.4, with all of its features having been incorporated into the built-in Elisp completion.
• company-files shows shorter completions. Previously, the popup spanned the whole absolute file name being completed, and now it starts after the nearest directory separator (#1040).
• New user option company-capf-disabled-functions (#1437).
• Better support for yas-key-syntaxes (#1268).
• New user option company-tooltip-scrollbar-width with default 0.4.
• The tooltip uses a more complex rendering approach, supporting double width/CJK characters, as well as buffer text of different sizes (#1394). variable-pitch-mode is also working better, although when using it it's recommended to customize the company-tooltip face to be monospaced.
• New user option company-dabbrev-code-completion-styles. Use it to enable fuzzy matching in company-dabbrev-code (#1215). An example configuration one can try:

(setq company-dabbrev-code-ignore-case t
      company-dabbrev-code-completion-styles '(basic flex))

• New user option company-etags-completion-styles, to be used the same way.

• The backend command keep-prefix is being phased out. The built-in backends implement it internally now, which resolved a number of sharp edges (mostly) around "grouped" backends. To make that easier, several helpers were added, such as company-cache-fetch and company-substitute-prefix (#1411). And company-ispell uses the cache to keep the currently selected dictionary loaded in memory between completions.

• The "length override" behavior in grouped backends now acts on each backend separately (#1405).

2023-10-08 (0.10.2)

• More company-auto-update-doc-related fixes.
• Better handling of C-g performed inside a doc-buffer handler (#1408).

2023-10-06 (0.10.1)

• Fix upgrading from 0.9.13 when the package is already loaded (#1406).

2023-10-04 (0.10.0)

• company-echo-show (and related featuers, most importantly, company-echo-metadata-frontend) now should stop interfering with the echo area and ElDoc when the current backend returns no meta.
• New user option company-tooltip-annotation-padding (#1376).
• When a snippet name is typed in full, completion does not abort now (only affects completions which have snippet kind), (#205).
• company-show-doc-buffer now can accept a prefix argument to toggle a new variable company-auto-update-doc. When this variable is non-nil, it keeps the documentation buffer up-to-date whenever the selection changes (#1331).
• company-auto-commit and company-auto-commit-chars have been renamed to company-insertion-on-trigger and company-insertion-triggers respectively (#1270).
• New command company-complete-common-or-show-delayed-tooltip (#1214).
• Faces company-scrollbar-fg and company-scrollbar-bg have been renamed to company-tooltip-scrollbar-thumb and company-tooltip-scrollbar-track respectively.
• Better compatibility with visual-line-mode (#1257).
• Better compatibility with org-indent-mode (#1252).
• New backend command, deprecated. It returns whether the completion item is deprecated or not.
• company-tooltip-common highlightings with non-prefix and prefix matching backends are more compatible: if the non-prefix matching backend's completions all have a common part, and so the current prefix can be expanded with company-complete-common, that part is now also highlighted with that face (#519).
• company-yasnippet respects the condition directive in snippets (#1179).
• New user option company-icon-margin.
• company-show-numbers has been renamed to company-show-quick-access (#1115). New user options company-quick-access-keys and company-quick-access-modifier. New command company-complete-quick-access. company-show-numbers-function has been deprecated and its default value changed to nil. Use company-quick-access-hint-function instead. company--show-numbers has been deprecated.
• company-complete-number has been renamed to company-complete-tooltip-row (#1118).
• New faces company-tooltip-quick-access and company-tooltip-quick-access-selection (#303).
• Default colors for dark themes have been changed (#949).
• Default key bindings have been changed, moving company-select-next and company-select-previous from M-n and M-p to C-n and C-p (#1098). The bound commands are also changed: company-select-next-or-abort and company-select-previous-or-abort, to match the <up> and <down> bindings. The previous bindings still work, but show a warning and will be disabled soon. To undo that change locally, do:

(with-eval-after-load 'company
  (dolist (map (list company-active-map company-search-map))
    (define-key map (kbd "C-n") nil)
    (define-key map (kbd "C-p") nil)
    (define-key map (kbd "M-n") #'company-select-next)
    (define-key map (kbd "M-p") #'company-select-previous)))

• New user option company-files-chop-trailing-slash (#1042).
• Improved visual responsiveness with (but not limited to) async backends (#1073). New user option company-async-redisplay-delay.
• company-idle-delay default reduced to 0.2 (seconds).
• The minimum required version of Emacs is now 25.1.
• Added support for icons (#1070). New user option company-format-margin-function. New backend command kind. There are two built-in SVG icon sets, one for light and another for dark icons. The default behavior is to choose the best one for the current theme automatically, or if the current frame is non-graphical or simply does not support rendering SVG images, fall back to text-based "icons".
• User options company-text-icons-mapping and company-text-icons-add-background control the looks and additional decoration for the latter (#1088).
• New user option company-abort-on-unique-match (#1046).
• company-select-mouse is a new frontend action (#1045).
• company-gtags on remote hosts is improved (#1037).
• New commands company-select-first and company-select-last.
• company-tng-mode has been added to replace both company-tng-configure-default and the manual method of enabling company-tng-frontend (see also company-tng-auto-configure). Also, company-selection can now have nil value, which means no selection.
• company-auto-complete and company-auto-complete-chars have been renamed to company-auto-commit and company-auto-commit-chars respectively.
• company-clang filters out duplicates (#841).
• New user option company-tooltip-width-grow-only.
• company-xcode has been removed. It has not been useful for years now.
• company-clang has been moved to after company-capf in the default value of company-backends. So now if there is an active completion function in completion-at-point-functions, it will have priority over company-clang. Unless it's tags-completion-at-point-function (this one is still skipped explicitly).
• company-eclim has been removed. Eclim is generally not recommended for Emacs users these days, with (emacs-eclim) declared obsolete in favor of lsp-java. Though it used its own backend anyway.

2020-07-26 (0.9.13)

• company-clang: error handling is more permissive.
• company-tng stops disabling post-completion in backends (#946). Instead, company-tng-configure-default disables snippet expansion in most popular backends. If a backend you use needs this and is not covered, and you use company-tng, disable snippet insertion by customizing a relevant option provided by the backend. The result is better compatibility with LSP backends because they currently depend on post-completion in all cases.
• company-keywords: additions for C and C++.
• company-yasnippet supports the doc-buffer action.
• company-bbdb supports more headers.

2020-02-07 (0.9.12)

• Tooltip rendering bugfix.
• company-indent-or-complete-common is better compatible with indent-for-tab-command (comment).

2020-01-03 (0.9.11)

• New value for option company-show-numbers to show numbers on the left.
• company-gtags has some minor fixes.
• Face definitions have moved to a separate group: company-faces.
• company-capf's :exit-function handling has been improved (#935).
• New user option company-clang-use-compile-flags-txt (#933).
• Support for completion style specific sorting (Emacs 27 feature).
• Snippet/template field interaction is inhibited while completion is active (where by default TAB calls company-complete-common, clashing with snippet map binding TAB to "jump to the next field"). Affects both company-template and yasnippet (requires version 0.14.0).

2019-04-15 (0.9.10)

• company-clang: better compatibility with Clang 8 (#885).
• The change in company-clang regarding identity #defines is reverted because it affected other completions as well (#884).
• company-idle-delay now accepts a function which generates the idle time or nil indicating no idle completion.
• Add custom variable company-show-numbers-function to make numbers of candidates customizable.
• When a symbol is already typed in full, calling M-x company-complete will now run its post-completion action (e.g. inserting method parameters template). Calling M-x company-manual-begin or invoking a backend command directly will show the popup (#150, #476).

2018-12-13 (0.9.9)

• Fix for the changes in the previous release.
• New hook company-after-completion-hook.
• company-clang removes identity preprocessor #defines from completions (#841).

2018-12-08 (0.9.8)

• CAPF backend fixed to use the right :exit-function. It can now safely be a closure with lexical context capturing the buffer state at the moment when the completion table was returned (#845).

2018-11-06 (0.9.7)

• For more sophisticated highlighting in non-prefix completion, a backend may now respond to a match request with a list of regions. See company-backends. (#798, #762)
• The company-capf backend will pick up on a :company-match metadata element on the capf function (similar to :company-location or :company-doc-buffer) and use it as a response to aforementioned match request.
• company-cmake supports completion inside string interpolations (#714).
• Workaround for the conflict between inferior-python-mode's completion code and company-sort-by-occurrence.
• In Emacs 26 and newer, company-css is removed from company-backends. company-capf is used instead.
• Same for company-nxml.

2018-02-23 (0.9.6)

• Workaround for Emacs' (bug#23980) triggered in combination with Flyspell.

2018-02-18 (0.9.5)

• The most common case of tooltip flickering with asynchronous backends (and disabled built-in cache) is fixed (#510, #654).
• company-keywords added entries for go-mode, swift-mode and kotlin-mode.
• Native line numbers compatibility fixes.
• company-dabbrev and company-dabbrev-code are more responsive when user input is pending (#720).
• New feature company-tng. It contains a frontend and some helper code. The frontend triggers insertion of the candidate as soon as it's selected, so you only need to press TAB. Add (company-tng-configure-default) to your init script to give it a try (#706).
• New user option company-tooltip-maximum-width.

2017-07-15 (0.9.4)

• Compatibility with native line numbers display in Emacs 26.

2017-03-29 (0.9.3)

• New user option company-echo-truncate-lines.
• company-auto-complete improved compatibility with electric-pair-mode.
• Use of overriding-terminal-local-map does not disable completion.
• company-clang and company-gtags can work over Tramp.
• New frontend company-preview-common-frontend.
• company-clang calls Clang using a pipe instead of pty.
• The minimum required version of Emacs is now 24.3.

2016-11-14 (0.9.2)

• Miscellaneous fixes and docstring improvements.

2016-11-12 (0.9.1)

• company-indent-or-complete-common skips trying to indent if indent-line-function is indent-relative or indent-relative-maybe.
• Better visualization of search matches. New face company-tooltip-search-selection.
• New user option company-files-exclusions.
• company-next-page and company-previous-page adhere to company-selection-wrap-around docstring more closely and only wrap around when the selection is at the start of the end of the list.
• company-pseudo-tooltip-unless-just-one-frontend-with-delay handles custom frontends derived from company-preview-frontend better.
• company-idle-delay is automatically adjusted to a non-zero value.

2016-06-23 (0.9.0)

• New frontend company-pseudo-tooltip-unless-just-one-frontend-with-delay.
• New transformer company-sort-prefer-same-case-prefix.
• The value of company-dabbrev-ignore-buffers can also be a function.
• company-files has been moved to right after company-capf in company-backends (#463).

• company-clang-objc-templatify has been renamed to company-template-objc-templatify.
• New user option company-etags-everywhere.
• company-yasnippet supports yas-key-syntaxes better. But we use them in the reverse order, preferring the longest key prefix that matches anything. And we only consider trigger key prefixes that are at least as long as the symbol at point, which effectively means skipping the "w" element (#422).
• New user option company-search-regexp-function.
• Completion is not started automatically when a keyboard macro is being recorded (#374).
• New command company-indent-or-complete-common.
• Backend command doc-buffer now can also return a cons of buffer and window start position.
• Backend command ignore-case has been documented.
• company-template-c-like-templatify does not replace the default argument values with argN anymore (#336). This affects company-clang and all third-party backends that use this function.
• Likewise for company-clang-objc-templatify.
• company-template-add-field calling convention has changed.
• New user option company-dabbrev-ignore-invisible.
• company-ropemacs was removed. ropemacs supports completion via completion-at-point-functions starting with version 0.8.
• company-pysmell was removed.
• company-select-next, company-select-previous, company-select-next-or-abort, company-select-previous-or-abort and company-complete-common-or-cycle accept a numeric argument.
• The documentation buffer window can be scrolled with the mouse wheel.
• New command company-diag. Use it in bug reports.

2015-01-13 (0.8.8)

• Pressing M-n or M-p doesn't quit the search mode.
• New command company-complete-common-or-cycle. No default binding.

• Quitting the search mode resets the filtering.
• Pressing backspace in the search mode deletes the character at the end of the search string.
• company-semantic displays function arguments as annotations.
• New user option, company-bbdb-modes.
• company-show-numbers and company-complete-number now use visual numbering of the candidates, taking into account only the ones currently displayed.
• company-complete-number can be bound to keypad numbers directly, with or without modifiers.
• company-cmake expands <LANG> and <CONFIG> placeholders inside variable names.

2014-10-15 (0.8.6)

• company-clang and company-template-c-like-templatify support templated functions and arguments.
• company-dabbrev ignores "uninteresting" buffers by default. Depends on the new user option, company-dabbrev-ignore-buffers.
• company-files checks directory's last modification time.
• company-files supports relative paths and Windows drive letters.

2014-08-13 (0.8.4)

2014-08-27 (0.8.3)

• On Emacs 24.4 or newer, tooltip positioning takes line-spacing into account.
• New face company-tooltip-search, used for the search string in the tooltip.
• The default value of company-dabbrev-minimum-length is set to 4, independent of the company-minimum-prefix-length value.

2014-07-26 (0.8.2)

• New user option company-occurrence-weight-function, allowing to tweak the behavior of the transformer company-sort-by-occurrence.
• Setting company-idle-delay to t is deprecated. Use the value 0 instead.

2014-07-01 (0.8.1)

• company-require-match is not in effect when the new input doesn't continue the previous prefix, and that prefix was a match.
• The meaning of company-begin-commands value t has slightly changed.
• New transformer, company-sort-by-backend-importance.
• When grouped back-ends are used, the back-end of the current candidate is indicated in the mode-line, enclosed in angle brackets.
• New user option company-gtags-insert-arguments, t by default.
• company-css knows about CSS3.
• company-gtags supports meta and annotation.
• User option company-dabbrev-code-other-buffers can have a new value: code.
• New user option company-tooltip-flip-when-above.
• company-clang uses the standard header search paths by default.
• C-h is bound to company-show-doc-buffer (like f1).

2014-04-19 (0.8.0)

• company-capf is included in company-backends in any supported Emacs version (>= 24.1). company-elisp goes before it if Emacs version is < 24.4.

• company-backends: prefix command can return t in the cdr.
• company-clang-begin-after-member-access: New option.
• Mouse click outside the tooltip aborts completion.
• company-clang uses standard input to pass the contents of current buffer to Clang 2.9+, otherwise saves the buffer and passes the path to the file.
• company-clang-auto-save option has been removed.
• Better interaction with outline-minor-mode.
• company-dabbrev-code supports all prog-mode derivatives.

2013-04-16 (0.6.8)

• company-auto-complete is disabled by default.
• company-auto-complete-chars default value includes fewer syntax classes.
• In expanded function calls, arguments skipped by the user default to "argN".
• company-eclim and company-clang do not strip argument types from fields.
• company-clang expands function calls for all three modes now.
• company-clang supports c++-mode by default.

2013-04-05 (0.6.7)

• Two company-elisp tweaks.

2013-04-01 (0.6.6)

• company-elisp doesn't offer completions when typing the name and the arguments of a new function or macro definition, allowing to fall back to other back-ends like company-dabbrev-code.

2013-03-30 (0.6.5)

• Fixed keybindings when running in a terminal.
• company-elisp-show-locals-first: new customizable variable.
• company-elisp shows more accurate and comprehensive candidates list.

2013-03-26 (0.6.4)

• company-eclim shows valid completions after an opening paren.
• Expanded template does not get removed until the point leaves it. After your input the last argument in a method call expanded by company-eclim, you can press <tab> once more, to jump after the closing paren. No other bundled back-ends are affected.

2013-03-25 (0.6.3)

• New tooltip face colors used on themes with light background.
• Pseudo-tooltip stays up-to-date when text is inserted after the point.
• Fixed company-require-match mechanics.

2013-03-24 (0.6.2)

• global-company-mode is now autoloaded.

2013-03-23 (0.6.1)

• Documented init and post-completion back-end commands.
• company-eclim and company-clang only expand the template on explicit user action (such as company-complete-{selection,number,mouse}).
• company-template has some breaking changes. When point is at one of the fields, it's displayed at the beginning, not right after it; <tab> jumps to the next field, forward-word and subword-forward remappings are removed; when you jump to the next field, if the current one hasn't been edited, the overlay gets removed but the text remains.
• company-eclim shows method overloads and expands templates for calls.
• company-clang-objc-templatify does not insert spaces after colons anymore.
• company-clang is now only initialized in supported buffers. So, no error messages if you don't have Clang until you open a C file.
• company-clang recognizes Clang included in recent Xcode.
• New commands company-select-previous-or-abort and company-select-next-or-abort, bound to <up> and <down>.

2013-03-19 (0.6)

• Across-the-board bugfixing.
• company-pysmell is not used by default anymore.
• Loading of nxml, semantic, pymacs and ropemacs is now deferred.
• Candidates from grouped back-ends are merged more conservatively: only back-ends that return the same prefix at point are used.
• company-clang now shows meta information, too.
• Some performance improvements.
• Fixed two old tooltip annoyances.
