With the 5.17.0 release, you’ll now have the ability to use the native β€œfind references” feature to find any usage of a given symbol ![references](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b7d82584-2be7-4db6-bfd9-4dbe46f9e865) **Added context on hover** When hovering over a symbol that references a view, type, enum, or any other block with multiple values, you’ll now see a handy pop out that shows what is in that block at a glance. ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b0dbc818-374b-4b6d-bda5-974d66efca65) **Additional quick fixes** We’ve taken some fixes made by the `prisma format` cli command and made them quick fixes available to the VSCode Extension. Now, when you have forget a back relation or relation scalar field, you’ll now see in real time what is wrong and have the option to fix it via the extension. ![image (1)](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/931e8dff-2b1e-4da7-bd17-5b844d12804e) ### QueryRaw performance improvements We’ve changed the response format of `queryRaw` to decrease its average size which reduces serialization CPU overhead. When querying large data sets, we expect you to see improved memory usage and up to 2x performance improvements. ## Fixes and improvements ### Prisma Client - [Remove or change `This is the 10th instance of Prisma Client being started. Make sure this is intentional.` warning](https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/23736) ### Prisma - [Prisma generate option --allow-no-models doesn't work.](https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/24737) ### Language tools (e.g. VS Code) - [LSP Rename incorrectly maps field name and appends character](https://github.com/prisma/language-tools/issues/1771) ## Credits Huge thanks to @key-moon, @pranayat, @yubrot, @skyzh for helping!
