* Less GC churn with completion styles that support `completion-lazy-hilit`.
* ([#1549](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1549)) Support
  for line-spacing cons values.
* ([#1547](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1547)) New user
  option `company-dabbrev-maximum-length` with default 80, similar to the
  existing option `company-dabbrev-minimum-length`.
* Reduced `company-childframe`'s popup latency over X forwarding
  ([#1548](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1548)).

# 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](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/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](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/issues/1537)). The
  previous bindings still work, but show a warning and will be removed after
  the next release. To undo that change locally, do:

```el
(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](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1535)).
* New built-in frontend using "real graphical" widget for the popup
  ([#1525](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/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](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/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](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1499)).
* Completion is restarted if it enters a new "field" at the end, as indicated by
  the `adjust-boundaries` backend action
  ([#1497](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/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](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/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](https://github.com/company-mode/company-mode/pull/1488) completion when
