24.0.1 (2023-10-20)

This is the first release using the LSP 3.17 protocol. We utilized the JSON metamodel to generate message types and interfaces for working with them. Due to significant changes in many types, a large portion of the code was rewritten. Although all our tests pass, it is possible that some errors have not yet been discovered. Nevertheless, the new protocol will enable us to implement even more new features for Ada in the future.
