  - The line marker generated `zig build` now defaults to the `run` step.

### Changed

  - Autocompletion insertion is now fully handled by intellij, this should fix some of the weirdness

- Zig
  - Indent support for function parameters and struct initializers
  - Updated to latest grammar spec (https://github.com/ziglang/zig-spec/commit/78c2e2e5cfa7090965deaf631cb8ca6f405b7c42)

## [13.0.1]

### HOTFIX CHANGES

  - Removed a bunch of write action locking, the editor should feel more responsive now

- Zig

### Removed

- Project
  - !!!BREAKING CHANGE!!! There is now no arbitrary "zig execution" task, all zig tasks have been categorized into Zig run/build/test tasks respectively.

- Debugger
  - Now uses the toolchains you set in Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolchains

    replaced with a properly integrated solution once a way to couple the PSI symbol system and the LSP has been found.
