INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7* These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0. A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer, unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that ":quit" fails now. ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match. In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi. Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name :edit foo\"888 foo"888 foo"888 :next foo\"888 foo888 foo"888 :next a\"b c\"d ab cd a"b and c"d In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one. ":echo 'a''b'"' would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it results in "a'b". When overwriting a file with ":w! fname" there was no warning for when "fname" was being edited by another Vim. Vim now gives an error message |E768|. The support for Mac OS 9 has been removed. Files ending in .tex now have 'filetype' set to "context", "plaintex", or "tex". |ft-tex-plugin| Minor incompatibilities: For filetype detection: For many types, use */.dir/filename instead of ~/.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files. For quite a few filetypes the indent settings have been moved from the filetype plugin to the indent plugin. If you used: :filetype plugin on Then some indent settings may be missing. You need to use: :filetype plugin indent on ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one. Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code. Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile". When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name, they are not useful. The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML looks like it's displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR", or "let html_ignore_folding=1", if no folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by Carl Osterwisch) Diff mode is now also converted to HTML as it is displayed. Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without changing 'winaltkeys'. When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010". When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings' now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a non-latin1 environment, such as Russian. Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit. Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option. Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>, <xF1>, etc. ":put" now leaves the cursor on the last inserted line. When a .gvimrc file exists then 'compatible' is off, just like when a ".vimrc" file exists. When making a string upper-case with "vlllU" or similar then the German sharp s is replaced with "SS". This does not happen with "~" to avoid backwards compatibility problems and because "SS" can't be changed back to a sharp s. "gd" previously found the very first occurrence of a variable in a function, that could be the function argument without type. Now it finds the position where the type is given. The line continuation in functions was not taken into account, line numbers in errors were logical lines, not lines in the sourced file. That made it difficult to locate errors. Now the line number in the sourced file is reported, relative to the function start. This also means that line numbers for ":breakadd func" are different. When defining a user command with |:command| the special items could be abbreviated. This caused unexpected behavior, such as <li> being recognized as <line1>. The items can no longer be abbreviated. When executing a FileChangedRO autocommand it is no longer allowed to switch to another buffer or edit another file. This is to prevent crashes (the event is triggered deep down in the code where changing buffers is not anticipated). It is still possible to reload the buffer. At the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, when the 'more' option is set, the 'k', 'u', 'g' and 'b' keys are now used to scroll back to previous messages. Thus they are no longer used as typeahead.
NEW FEATURES *new-7* Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script* In Vim scripts the following types have been added: |List| ordered list of items |Dictionary| associative array of items |Funcref| reference to a function Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types. The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()| can be used to turn the string back into the variable value. The |:let| command can now use "+=", "-=" and ".=": :let var += expr " works like :let var = var + expr :let var -= expr " works like :let var = var - expr :let var .= string " works like :let var = var . string With the |:profile| command you can find out where your function or script is wasting time. In the Python interface vim.eval() also handles Dictionaries and Lists. |python-eval| (G. Sumner Hayes) The |getscript| plugin was added as a convenient way to update scripts from www.vim.org automatically. (Charles Campbell) The |vimball| plugin was added as a convenient way to distribute a set of files for a plugin (plugin file, autoload script, documentation). (Charles Campbell) Spell checking *new-spell* Spell checking has been integrated in Vim. There were a few implementations with scripts, but they were slow and/or required an external program. The 'spell' option is used to switch spell checking on or off The 'spelllang' option is used to specify the accepted language(s) The 'spellfile' option specifies where new words are added The 'spellsuggest' option specifies the methods used for making suggestions The |[s| and |]s| commands can be used to move to the next or previous error The |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to add good and wrong words The |z=| command can be used to list suggestions and correct the word The |:mkspell| command is used to generate a Vim spell file from word lists The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki). The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and background. The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax highlighting and marking the Visual area. Much more info here: |spell|. Omni completion *new-omni-completion* This could also be called "intellisense", but that is a trademark. It is a smart kind of completion. The text in front of the cursor is inspected to figure out what could be following. This may suggest struct and class members, system functions, etc. Use CTRL-X CTRL-O in Insert mode to start the completion. |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| The 'omnifunc' option is set by filetype plugins to define the function that figures out the completion. Currently supported languages: C |ft-c-omni| (X)HTML with CSS |ft-html-omni| JavaScript |ft-javascript-omni| PHP |ft-php-omni| Python Ruby |ft-ruby-omni| SQL |ft-sql-omni| XML |ft-xml-omni| any language with syntax highlighting |ft-syntax-omni| You can add your own omni completion scripts. When the 'completeopt' option contains "menu" then matches for Insert mode completion are displayed in a (rather primitive) popup menu. MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme* The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme| The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file This depends on Vim being compiled with the |+mzscheme| feature. Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte* The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters when using PostScript. The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this. Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams) Tab pages *new-tab-pages* A tab page is page with one or more windows with a label (aka tab) at the top. By clicking on the label you can quickly switch between the tab pages. And with the keyboard, using the |gt| (Goto Tab) command. This is a convenient way to work with many windows. To start Vim with each file argument in a separate tab page use the |-p| argument. The maximum number of pages can be set with 'tabpagemax'. The line with tab labels is either made with plain text and highlighting or with a GUI mechanism. The GUI labels look better but are only available on a few systems. The line can be customized with 'tabline', 'guitablabel' and 'guitabtooltip'. Whether it is displayed is set with 'showtabline'. Whether to use the GUI labels is set with the "e" flag in 'guioptions'. The |:tab| command modifier can be used to have most commands that open a new window open a new tab page instead. The |--remote-tab| argument can be used to edit a file in a new tab page in an already running Vim server. Variables starting with "t:" are local to a tab page. More info here: |tabpage| Most of the GUI stuff was implemented by Yegappan Lakshmanan. Undo branches *new-undo-branches* Previously there was only one line of undo-redo. If, after undoing a number of changes, a new change was made all the undone changes were lost. This could lead to accidentally losing work. Vim now makes an undo branch in this situation. Thus you can go back to the text after any change, even if they were undone. So long as you do not run into 'undolevels', when undo information is freed up to limit the memory used. To be able to navigate the undo branches each change is numbered sequentially. The commands |g-| and |:earlier| go back in time, to older changes. The commands |g+| and |:later| go forward in time, to newer changes. The changes are also timestamped. Use ":earlier 10m" to go to the text as it was about ten minutes earlier. The |:undolist| command can be used to get an idea of which undo branches exist. The |:undo| command now takes an argument to directly jump to a specific position in this list. The |changenr()| function can be used to obtain the change number. There is no graphical display of the tree with changes, navigation can be quite confusing. Extended Unicode support *new-more-unicode* Previously only two combining characters were displayed. The limit is now raised to 6. This can be set with the 'maxcombine' option. The default is still 2. |ga| now shows all combining characters, not just the first two. Previously only 16 bit Unicode characters were supported for displaying. Now the full 32 bit character set can be used. Unless manually disabled at compile time to save a bit of memory. For pattern matching it is now possible to search for individual composing characters. |patterns-composing| The |8g8| command searches for an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence. More highlighting *new-more-highlighting* Highlighting matching parens: When moving the cursor through the text and it is on a paren, then the matching paren can be highlighted. This uses the new |CursorMoved| autocommand event. This means some commands are executed every time you move the cursor. If this slows you down too much switch it off with: :NoMatchParen See |matchparen| for more information. The plugin uses the |:match| command. It now supports three match patterns. The plugin uses the third one. The first one is for the user and the second one can be used by another plugin. Highlighting the cursor line and column: The 'cursorline' and 'cursorcolumn' options have been added. These highlight the screen line and screen column of the cursor. This makes the cursor position easier to spot. 'cursorcolumn' is also useful to align text. This may make screen updating quite slow. The CursorColumn and CursorLine highlight groups allow changing the colors used. |hl-CursorColumn| |hl-CursorLine| The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax highlighting, marking the Visual area, CursorColumn, etc. Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans* The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in several other languages. French - translated by David Blanchet Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin Polish - translated by Mikolaj Machowski The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/, .../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/. There appears to be no standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file is used there as a best guess. Other languages are installed in similar places. The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will do it anyway. Internal grep *new-vimgrep* The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files. This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files. |:vimgrep|. If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the |getqflist()| function. To grep files in various directories the "**" pattern can be used. It expands into an arbitrary depth of directories. "**" can be used in all places where file names are expanded, thus also with |:next| and |:args|. Scroll back in messages *new-scroll-back* When displaying messages, at the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, The 'k', 'u', 'g' and 'b' keys can be used to scroll back to previous messages. This is especially useful for commands such as ":syntax", ":autocommand" and ":highlight". This is implemented in a generic way thus it works for all commands and highlighting is kept. Only works when the 'more' option is set. Previously it only partly worked for ":clist". The |g<| command can be used to see the last page of messages after you have hit <Enter> at the |hit-enter-prompt|. Then you can scroll further back. Cursor past end of the line *new-onemore* When the 'virtualedit' option contains "onemore" the cursor can move just past the end of the line. As if it's on top of the line break. This makes some commands more consistent. Previously the cursor was always past the end of the line if the line was empty. But it is far from Vi compatible. It may also break some plugins or Vim scripts. Use with care! The patch was provided by Mattias Flodin. POSIX compatibility *new-posix* The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|. Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibility: - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-X| - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--| - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&| - The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit. - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}. - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in 'cpoptions'. - Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number". - Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified. - In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line above or below the new lines. - Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command. - When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines. - Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line. - The |:open| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do. - Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe"). - In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed. - The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before. - The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'. - Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert. - Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line. - Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and CTRL-T cannot be handled then. - In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines. "%" prints all lines. - In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started. - Implemented the 'prompt' option. Debugger support *new-debug-support* The 'balloonexpr' option has been added. This is a generic way to implement balloon functionality. You can use it to show info for the word under the mouse pointer. Remote file explorer *new-netrw-explore* The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used. Deleting and renaming files is possible. To avoid duplicating a lot of code, the previous file explorer plugin has been integrated in the netrw plugin. This means browsing local and remote files works the same way. ":browse edit" and ":browse split" use the netrw plugin when it's available and a GUI dialog is not possible. The netrw plugin is maintained by Charles Campbell. Define an operator *new-define-operator* Previously it was not possible to define your own operator; a command that is followed by a {motion}. Vim 7 introduces the 'operatorfunc' option and the |g@| operator. This makes it possible to define a mapping that works like an operator. The actual work is then done by a function, which is invoked through the |g@| operator. See |:map-operator| for the explanation and an example. Mapping to an expression *new-map-expression* The {rhs} argument of a mapping can be an expression. That means the resulting characters can depend on the context. Example: :inoremap <expr> . InsertDot() Here the dot will be mapped to whatever InsertDot() returns. This also works for abbreviations. See |:map-<expr>| for the details. Visual and Select mode mappings *new-map-select* Previously Visual mode mappings applied both to Visual and Select mode. With a trick to have the mappings work in Select mode like they would in Visual mode. Commands have been added to define mappings for Visual and Select mode separately: |:xmap| and |:smap|. With the associated "noremap" and "unmap" commands. The same is done for menus: |:xmenu|, |:smenu|, etc. Location list *new-location-list* The support for a per-window quickfix list (location list) is added. The location list can be displayed in a location window (similar to the quickfix window). You can open more than one location list window. A set of commands similar to the quickfix commands are added to browse the location list. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Various new items *new-items-7* Normal mode commands: a", a' and a` New text objects to select quoted strings. |a'| i", i' and i` (Taro Muraoka) CTRL-W <Enter> In the quickfix window: opens a new window to show the location of the error under the cursor. |at| and |it| text objects select a block of text between HTML or XML tags. <A-LeftMouse> ('mousemodel' "popup" or "popup-setpos") <A-RightMouse> ('mousemodel' "extend") Make a blockwise selection. |<A-LeftMouse>| gF Start editing the filename under the cursor and jump to the line number following the file name. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) CTRL-W F Start editing the filename under the cursor in a new window and jump to the line number following the file name. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Insert mode commands: CTRL-\ CTRL-O Execute a Normal mode command. Like CTRL-O but without moving the cursor. |i_CTRL-\_CTRL-O| Options: 'balloonexpr' expression for text to show in evaluation balloon 'completefunc' The name of the function used for user-specified Insert mode completion. CTRL-X CTRL-U can be used in Insert mode to do any kind of completion. (Taro Muraoka) 'completeopt' Enable popup menu and other settings for Insert mode completion. 'cursorcolumn' highlight column of the cursor 'cursorline' highlight line of the cursor 'formatexpr' expression for formatting text with |gq| and when text goes over 'textwidth' in Insert mode. 'formatlistpat' pattern to recognize a numbered list for formatting. (idea by Hugo Haas) 'fsync' Whether fsync() is called after writing a file. (Ciaran McCreesh) 'guitablabel' expression for text to display in GUI tab page label 'guitabtooltip' expression for text to display in GUI tab page tooltip 'macatsui' Mac: use ATSUI text display functions 'maxcombine' maximum number of combining characters displayed 'maxmempattern' maximum amount of memory to use for pattern matching 'mkspellmem' parameters for |:mkspell| memory use 'mzquantum' Time in msec to schedule MzScheme threads. 'numberwidth' Minimal width of the space used for the 'number' option. (Emmanuel Renieris) 'omnifunc' The name of the function used for omni completion. 'operatorfunc' function to be called for |g@| operator 'printmbcharset' CJK character set to be used for :hardcopy 'printmbfont' font names to be used for CJK output of :hardcopy 'pumheight' maximum number of items to show in the popup menu 'quoteescape' Characters used to escape quotes inside a string. Used for the a", a' and a` text objects. |a'| 'shelltemp' whether to use a temp file or pipes for shell commands 'showtabline' whether to show the tab pages line 'spell' switch spell checking on/off 'spellcapcheck' pattern to locate the end of a sentence 'spellfile' file where good and wrong words are added 'spelllang' languages to check spelling for 'spellsuggest' methods for spell suggestions 'synmaxcol' maximum column to look for syntax items; avoids very slow redrawing when there are very long lines 'tabline' expression for text to display in the tab pages line 'tabpagemax' maximum number of tab pages to open for |-p| 'verbosefile' Log messages in a file. 'wildoptions' "tagfile" value enables listing the file name of matching tags for CTRL-D command line completion. (based on an idea from Yegappan Lakshmanan) 'winfixwidth' window with fixed width, similar to 'winfixheight' Ex commands: Win32: The ":winpos" command now also works in the console.

Fox) New message translations: The Ukrainian messages are now also available in cp1251. Vietnamese message translations and menu. (Phan Vinh Thinh) Others: The |:read| command has the |++edit| argument. This means it will use the detected 'fileformat', 'fileencoding' and other options for the buffer. This also fixes the problem that editing a compressed file didn't set these options. The Netbeans interface was updated for Sun Studio 10. The protocol number goes from 2.2 to 2.3. (Gordon Prieur) Mac: When starting up Vim will load the $VIMRUNTIME/macmap.vim script to define default command-key mappings. (mostly by Benji Fisher) Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns) Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using "yyp". Mac: GUI font selector. (Peter Cucka) Mac: support for multi-byte characters. (Da Woon Jung) This doesn't always work properly. If you see text drawing problems try switching the 'macatsui' option off. Mac: Support the xterm mouse in the non-GUI version. Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung) Mac: When started from Finder change directory to the file being edited or the user home directory. Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode. To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values, they are not supported by termcap/terminfo. GUI font selector for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki) Nicer toolbar buttons for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki) Mnemonics for the Motif find/replace dialog. (Marcin Dalecki) Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and a bit less dependent on the X11 font management. Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See |autocmd-buflocal|. (Yakov Lerner) For xterm most combinations of modifiers with function keys are recognized. |xterm-modifier-keys| When 'verbose' is set the output of ":highlight" will show where a highlight item was last set. When 'verbose' is set the output of the ":map", ":abbreviate", ":command", ":function" and ":autocmd" commands will show where it was last defined. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) ":function /pattern" lists functions matching the pattern. "1gd" can be used like "gd" but ignores matches in a {} block that ends before the cursor position. Likewise for "1gD" and "gD". 'scrolljump' can be set to a negative number to scroll a percentage of the window height. The |v:scrollstart| variable has been added to help finding the location in your script that causes the hit-enter prompt. To make it possible to handle the situation that a file is being edited that is already being edited by another Vim instance, the |SwapExists| event has been added. The |v:swapname|, |v:swapchoice| and |v:swapcommand| variables can be used, for example to use the |client-server| functionality to bring the other Vim to the foreground. When starting Vim with a "-t tag" argument, there is an existing swapfile and the user selects "quit" or "abort" then exit Vim. Undo now also restores the '< and '> marks. "gv" selects the same area as before the change and undo. When editing a search pattern for a "/" or "?" command and 'incsearch' is set CTRL-L can be used to add a character from the current match. CTRL-R CTRL-W will add a word, but exclude the part of the word that was already typed. Ruby interface: add line number methods. (Ryan Paul) The $MYVIMRC environment variable is set to the first found vimrc file. The $MYGVIMRC environment variable is set to the first found gvimrc file.
IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7* ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it". Moved the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now. When doing completion for ":!cmd", ":r !cmd" or ":w !cmd" executable files are found in $PATH instead of looking for ordinary files in the current directory. When ":silent" is used and a backwards range is given for an Ex command the range is swapped automatically instead of asking if that is OK. The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that. Previously some options were always evaluated in the |sandbox|. Now that only happens when the option was set from a modeline or in secure mode. Applies to 'balloonexpr', 'foldexpr', 'foldtext' and 'includeexpr'. (Sumner Hayes) Some commands and expressions could have nasty side effects, such as using CTRL-R = while editing a search pattern and the expression invokes a function that jumps to another window. The |textlock| has been added to prevent this from happening. ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a breakpoint at the cursor. It is now possible to define a function with: :exe "func Test()\n ...\n endfunc" The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and text was added to explain a few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann. Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display it. (Johannes Zellner) Mac and Cygwin: When editing an existing file make the file name the same case of the edited file. Thus when typing ":e os_UNIX.c" the file name becomes "os_unix.c". Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet) Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that does not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd autocommands. For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev) - square brackets are recognized properly - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher) winnr() takes an optional "$" or "#" argument. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan Lakshmanan) Added 's' flag to search(): set '' mark if cursor moved. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull) Added 'c' flag to search(): accept match at the cursor. Added 'e' flag to search(): move to end of the match. (Benji Fisher) Added 'p' flag to search(): return number of sub-pattern. (Benji Fisher) These also apply to searchpos(), searchpair() and searchpairpos(). The search() and searchpair() functions have an extra argument to specify where to stop searching. Speeds up searches that should not continue too far. When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott) When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax. (Michael Geddes) Support setting 'filetype' and 'syntax' to "aaa.bbb" for "aaa" plus "bbb" filetype or syntax. The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly. VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes. (Zoltan Arpadffy) For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number of buffers. For recognizing the file type: When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras) Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that digraphs still work when iconv is not available. When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer list. Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it. (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro) Win32: Vim was not aware of hard links on NTFS file systems. These are detected now for when 'backupcopy' is "auto". Also fixed a bogus "file has been changed since reading it" error for links. When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first line is just "/*". When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much more reliable. Unix: When editing a file through a symlink the swap file would use the name of the symlink. Now use the name of the actual file, so that editing the same file twice is detected. (suggestions by Stefano Zacchiroli and James Vega) Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding' in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console, "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages. Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be incremented/decremented each time. When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file. Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete. ":redir @*>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard. Better check for invalid characters after the register name. |:redir| ":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |:redir| ":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file. Verbose messages are not displayed then. The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to log startup messages. ":let g:" lists global variables. ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables. ":let w:" lists window-local variables. ":let v:" lists Vim variables. The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it. The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines. When the line number is just below the last line the line is appended. g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of bytes. Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip ":" between range and command name. (Peter winters) CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was ignored. When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep will result in a message with the source of the error. When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that ":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c". To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has been added to |:substitute|. See |count-items|. In a |:substitute| command the \u, \U, \l and \L items now also work for multi-byte characters. The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for 'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin" and "putty". The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason| variable that specifies what triggered the event. |v:fcs_choice| can be used to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do. Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character and the * stands for the modifier code. Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible modifiers. getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified window. Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Added the "%>" item to 'errorformat'. For 'errorformat' it was not possible to have a file name that contains the character that follows after "%f". For example, in "%f:%l:%m" the file name could not contain ":". Now include the first ":" where the rest of the pattern matches. In the example a ":" not followed by a line number is included in the file name. (suggested by Emanuele Giaquinta) GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available. Mix from patches by Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb. Added ":scriptnames" to bugreport.vim, so that we can see what plugins were used. Win32: If the user changes the setting for the number of lines a scroll wheel click scrolls it is now used immediately. Previously Vim would need to be restarted. When using @= in an expression the value is expression @= contains. ":let @= = value" can be used to set the register contents. A ! can be added to ":popup" to have the popup menu appear at the mouse pointer position instead of the text cursor. The table with encodings has been expanded with many MS-Windows codepages, such as cp1250 and cp737, so that these can also be used on Unix without prepending "8bit-". When an encoding name starts with "microsoft-cp" ignore the "microsoft-" part. Added the "customlist" completion argument to a user-defined command. The user-defined completion function should return the completion candidates as a Vim List and the returned results are not filtered by Vim. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Win32: Balloons can have multiple lines if common controls supports it. (Sergey Khorev) For command-line completion the matches for various types of arguments are now sorted: user commands, variables, syntax names, etc. When no locale is set, thus using the "C" locale, Vim will work with latin1 characters, using its own isupper()/toupper()/etc. functions. When using an rxvt terminal emulator guess the value of 'background' using the COLORFGBG environment variable. (Ciaran McCreesh) Also support t_SI and t_EI on Unix with normal features. (Ciaran McCreesh) When 'foldcolumn' is one then put as much info in it as possible. This allows closing a fold with the mouse by clicking on the '-'. input() takes an optional completion argument to specify the type of completion supported for the input. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) "dp" works with more than two buffers in diff mode if there is only one where 'modifiable' is set. The 'diffopt' option has three new values: "horizontal", "vertical" and "foldcolumn". When the 'include' option contains \zs the file name found is what is being matched from \zs to the end or \ze. Useful to pass more to 'includeexpr'. Loading plugins on startup now supports subdirectories in the plugin directory. |load-plugins| In the foldcolumn always show the '+' for a closed fold, so that it can be opened easily. It may overwrite another character, esp. if 'foldcolumn' is 1. It is now possible to get the W10 message again by setting 'readonly'. Useful in the FileChangedRO autocommand when checking out the file fails. Unix: When open() returns EFBIG give an appropriate message. ":mksession" sets the SessionLoad variable to notify plugins. A modeline is added to the session file to set 'filetype' to "vim". In the ATTENTION prompt put the "Delete it" choice before "Quit" to make it more logical. (Robert Webb) When appending to a file while the buffer has no name the name of the appended file would be used for the current buffer. But the buffer contents is actually different from the file content. Don't set the file name, unless the 'P' flag is present in 'cpoptions'. When starting to edit a new file and the directory for the file doesn't exist then Vim will report "[New DIRECTORY]" instead of "[New File] to give the user a hint that something might be wrong. Win32: Preserve the hidden attribute of the viminfo file. In Insert mode CTRL-A didn't keep the last inserted text when using CTRL-O and then a cursor key. Now keep the previously inserted text if nothing is inserted after the CTRL-O. Allows using CTRL-O commands to move the cursor without losing the last inserted text. The exists() function now supports checking for autocmd group definition and for supported autocommand events. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Allow using ":global" in the sandbox, it doesn't do anything harmful by itself. ":saveas asdf.c" will set 'filetype' to c when it's empty. Also for ":w asdf.c" when it sets the filename for the buffer. Insert mode completion for whole lines now also searches unloaded buffers. The colortest.vim script can now be invoked directly with ":source" or ":runtime syntax/colortest.vim". The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan) The 'statusline' option and other options that support the same format can now use these new features: - When it starts with "%!" the value is first evaluated as an expression before parsing the value. - "%#HLname#" can be used to start highlighting with HLname. When 'statusline' is set to something that causes an error message then it is made empty to avoid an endless redraw loop. Also for other options, such at 'tabline' and 'titlestring'. ":verbose set statusline" will mention that it was set in an error handler. When there are several matching tags, the ":tag <name>" and CTRL-] commands jump to the [count] matching tag. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Win32: In the batch files generated by the install program, use $VIMRUNTIME or $VIM if it's set. Example provided by Mathias Michaelis. Also create a vimtutor.bat batch file. The 'balloonexpr' option is now |global-local|. The system() function now runs in cooked mode, thus can be interrupted by CTRL-C.
COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7* Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version and merge it back in. When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory. When compiling with EXITFREE defined and the ccmalloc library it is possible to detect memory leaks. Some memory will always reported as leaked, such as allocated by X11 library functions and the memory allocated in alloc_cmdbuff() to store the ":quit" command. Moved the code for printing to src/hardcopy.c. Moved some code from main() to separate functions to make it easier to see what is being done. Using a structure to avoid a lot of arguments to the functions. Moved unix_expandpath() to misc1.c, so that it can also be used by os_mac.c without copying the code. "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to its final destination. (Raf) Put the runtime directory not directly in Vim.app but in Vim.app/Contents/Resources/vim, so that it's according to Mac specs. Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and still being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c file. When running "make install" the runtime files are installed as for Unix. Avoids that too many files are copied. When running "make" a link to the runtime files is created to avoid a recursive copy that takes much time. Configure will attempt to build Vim for both Intel and PowerPC. The --with-mac-arch configure argument can change it. The Make_mvc.mak file was adjusted to work with the latest MS compilers, including the free version of Visual Studio 2005. (George Reilly) INSTALLpc.txt was updated for the recent changes. (George Reilly) The distributed executable is now produced with the free Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and other free SDK chunks. msvcsetup.bat was added to support this. Also generate the .pdb file that can be used to generate a useful crash report on MS-Windows. (George Reilly)
BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7* When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr" instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not work. Use "LPT1" then. The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a size. Use a default size of 10. This example in the documentation didn't work: :e `=foo . ".c" ` Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #. When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message. "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account. Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even when it doesn't support MDI. Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work. "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white space. Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched for doesn't have an extension. When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the cursor and not putting it back where it was. When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used to make it work the old way. When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken. After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column. Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart fields. (Walter Briscoe) On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De Michele) Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams) When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5. Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control characters. Also remove "'<,'>" when in Visual mode to avoid that it appears twice. When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment variables like for a regular command with a file argument. 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line is indented too much. When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned items. Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME. The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use "cn" or "tw" as intended. When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break after the last line while it's not there. Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when resizing the GUI shell upon startup. Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored. When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name. strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh) GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives just before it is invoked VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy) UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character from the first character of the word. When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer(). When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index, but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead. When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow interrupting this. When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options and global options remain unmodified. Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line. Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the default value of 'isprint' was wrong. When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE. Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work. When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not going to be used like a command. GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed. GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango. Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the console version. Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2. When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the directory for the library early in the link flags. With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was literal text. Now it works for any pattern. When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction. When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up. Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes problems for Terminal.app. When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains" argument. When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come back. When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there was only one match. (Sergey Khorev) When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting "cancel", would still give an error message. The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible. Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2). Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break is included, e.g., after "v$o". GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas) After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text. When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturb us, thus ignore it. (Scott Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to handle. Added handle_signal(). When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab. When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent() being found in a library. When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text. Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding' is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon) When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use the values when recovering. ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that. Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and # when building the ":drop" command. A comment or | just after a expression-backtick argument was not recognized. E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment. "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")" does. Also breaks "das" on that dot. When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k" moved the cursor to another column. When 'commentstring' is '"'%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed fold. In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes". Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki) Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki) When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was not included. Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS. Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests. When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position. Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>". When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert mode. (Peter Winters) "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character. Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns(). Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'"'. When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more lines" overwrites the message. Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output. When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right column in the wrong line. When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak" starts with "sl". When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear 'paste' when starting the GUI. A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL. When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode. Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a mapping. Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato) ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible. When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed. When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an empty $SHELL value. A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty file. When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is. When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This is Vi compatible. Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior. Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default. Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>' flag to 'cpoptions' for this. Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this. When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in 'cpoptions' for this. Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append". Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to be Vi compatible. When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the shell and caused trouble there. When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan Lakshmanan) It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command. When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim. When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak. Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka) ":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile". The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they are executed. Ambiguous command names were not completed properly. Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that indirectly invokes ":normal". Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment. Unset it before invoking "diff". Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo". Also for ":set &l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters) When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse locator it doesn't work. Now switch off the mouse before selecting another mouse model. When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event is received. Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer. Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1*" to be used like ":1argadd *". Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit". Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US". Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make the appear as real dashes. (Pierr Habouzit) Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'. Now "gq" always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text. When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still compressed. Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been decompressed. Required for patterns that end in a "*". Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor the be moved to the first line. That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`". Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line. "gg=G" while 'modifiable' is off was uninterruptible. When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash. Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte. In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor. Made "ins_at_eol" global and reset it in nv_home(). Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`". Don't put quotes around spaces inside backticks. After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected. Now let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted. This should be the most useful thing to do. ":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect. Give an error message when the argument isn't recognized. In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov) When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits. Now call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo) This breaks the thread stuff though, fixed by Ugo. GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap) Added win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size. Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits. Now pass column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others. Limits mouse column to 10000. searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end. Check that we find the same position again and advance one character. When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window. When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION prompt the argument index was advanced anyway. When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous substitute pattern. Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that. Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow. Also when using smsg(). Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size checks where invoking them ":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=". Wild menu for help tags didn't show backslashes. ":he :s\=" didn't work. When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded. GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or removing it the window size may change. GTK sends us resize events when we change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment. Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and 'lines' to undo this. When using the GTK plug mechanism, resizing and focus was not working properly. (Neil Bird) After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with ":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands. When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N may cause the hit-enter prompt. Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented character. Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer so that mapping is done in the right mode. setbufvar() and setwinvar() did not give error messages. It was possible to set a variable with an illegal name, e.g. with setbufvar(). It was possible to define a function with illegal name, e.t. ":func F{-1}()" CTRL-W F and "gf" didn't use the same method to get the file name. When reporting a conversion error the line number of the last error could be given. Now report the first encountered error. When using ":e ++enc=name file" and iconv() was used for conversion an error caused a fall-back to no conversion. Now replace a character with '?' and continue. When opening a new buffer the local value of 'bomb' was not initialized from the global value. Win32: When using the "Edit with Vim" entry the file name was limited to about 200 characters. When using command line completion for ":e *foo" and the file "+foo" exists the resulting command ":e +foo" doesn't work. Now insert a backslash: ":e \+foo". When the translation of "-- More --" was not 10 characters long the following message would be in the wrong position. At the more-prompt the last character in the last line wasn't drawn. When deleting non-existing text while 'virtualedit' is set the '[ and '] marks were not set. Win32: Could not use "**/" in 'path', it had to be "**\". The search pattern "\n" did not match at the end of the last line. Searching for a pattern backwards, starting on the NUL at the end of the line and 'encoding' is "utf-8" would match the pattern just before it incorrectly. Affected searchpair('/\*', '', '\*/'). For the Find/Replace dialog it was possible that not finding the text resulted in an error message while redrawing, which cleared the syntax highlighting while it was being used, resulting in a crash. Now don't clear syntax highlighting, disable it with b_syn_error. Win32: Combining UTF-8 characters were drawn on the previous character. Could be noticed with a Thai font. Output of ":function" could leave some of the typed text behind. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) When the command line history has only a few lines the command line window would be opened with these lines above the first window line. When using a command line window for search strings ":qa" would result in searching for "qa" instead of quitting all windows. GUI: When scrolling with the scrollbar and there is a line that doesn't fit redrawing may fail. Make sure w_skipcol is valid before redrawing. Limit the values of 'columns' and 'lines' to avoid an overflow in Rows * Columns. Fixed bad effects when running out of memory (command line would be reversed, ":qa!" resulted in ":!aq"). Motif: "gvim -iconic" opened the window anyway. (David Harrison) There is a tiny chance that a symlink gets created between checking for an existing file and creating a file. Use the O_NOFOLLOW for open() if it's available. In an empty line "ix<CTRL-O>0" moved the cursor to after the line instead of sticking to the first column. When using ":wq" and a BufWriteCmd autocmd uses inputsecret() the text was echoed anyway. Set terminal to raw mode in getcmdline(). Unix: ":w a;b~c" caused an error in expanding wildcards. When appending to a file with ":w >>fname" in a buffer without a name, causing the buffer to use "fname", the modified flag was reset. When appending to the current file the "not edited" flag would be reset. ":w" would overwrite the file accidentally. Unix: When filtering text with an external command Vim would still read input, causing text typed for the command (e.g., a password) to be eaten and echoed. Don't read input when the terminal is in cooked mode. The Cygwin version of xxd used CR/LF line separators. (Corinna Vinschen) Unix: When filtering text through a shell command some resulting text may be dropped. Now after detecting that the child has exited try reading some more of its output. When inside input(), using "CTRL-R =" and the expression throws an exception the command line was not abandoned but it wasn't used either. Now abandon typing the command line. 'delcombine' was also used in Visual and Select mode and for commands like "cl". That was illogical and has been disabled. When recording while a CursorHold autocommand was defined special keys would appear in the register. Now the CursorHold event is not triggered while recording. Unix: the src/configure script used ${srcdir-.}, not all shells understand that. Use ${srcdir:-.} instead. When editing file "a" which is a symlink to file "b" that doesn't exist, writing file "a" to create "b" and then ":split b" resulted in two buffers on the same file with two different swapfile names. Now set the inode in the buffer when creating a new file. When 'esckeys' is not set don't send the xterm code to request the version string, because it may cause trouble in Insert mode. When evaluating an expression for CTRL-R = on the command line it was possible to call a function that opens a new window, resulting in errors for incremental search, and many other nasty things were possible. Now use the |textlock| to disallow changing the buffer or jumping to another window to protect from unexpected behavior. Same for CTRL-\ e. "d(" deleted the character under the cursor, while the documentation specified an exclusive motion. Vi also doesn't delete the character under the cursor. Shift-Insert in Insert mode could put the cursor before the last character when it just fits in the window. In coladvance() don't stop at the window edge when filling with spaces and when in Insert mode. In mswin.vim avoid getting a beep from the "l" command. Win32 GUI: When Alt-F4 is used to close the window and Cancel is selected in the dialog then Vim would insert <M-F4> in the text. Now it's ignored. When ":silent! {cmd}" caused the swap file dialog, which isn't displayed, there would still be a hit-enter prompt. Requesting the termresponse (|t_RV|) early may cause problems with "-c" arguments that invoke an external command or even "-c quit". Postpone it until after executing "-c" arguments. When typing in Insert mode so that a new line is started, using CTRL-G u to break undo and start a new change, then joining the lines with <BS> caused undo info to be missing. Now reset the insertion start point. Syntax HL: When a region start match has a matchgroup and an offset that happens to be after the end of the line then it continued in the next line and stopped at the region end match, making the region continue after that. Now check for the column being past the end of the line in syn_add_end_off(). When changing a file, setting 'swapfile' off and then on again, making another change and killing Vim, then some blocks may be missing from the swapfile. When 'swapfile' is switched back on mark all blocks in the swapfile as dirty. Added mf_set_dirty(). Expanding wildcards in a command like ":e aap;<>!" didn't work. Put backslashes before characters that are special to the shell. (Adri Verhoef) A CursorHold autocommand would cause a message to be cleared. Don't show the special key for the event for 'showcmd'. When expanding a file name for a shell command, as in "!cmd foo<Tab>" or ":r !cmd foo<Tab>" also escape characters that are special for the shell: "!;&()<>". When the name of the buffer was set by a ":r fname" command |cpo-f| no autocommands were triggered to notify about the change in the buffer list. In the quickfix buffer 'bufhidden' was set to "delete", which caused closing the quickfix window to leave an unlisted "No Name" buffer behind every time. Win32: when using two screens of different size, setting 'lines' to a large value didn't fill the whole screen. (SungHyun Nam) Win32 installer: The generated _vimrc contained an absolute path to diff.exe. After upgrading it becomes invalid. Now use $VIMRUNTIME instead. The command line was cleared to often when 'showmode' was set and ":silent normal vy" was used. Don't clear the command line unless the mode was actually displayed. Added the "mode_displayed" variable. The "load session" toolbar item could not handle a space or other special characters in v:this_session. ":set sta ts=8 sw=4 sts=2" deleted 4 spaces halfway a line instead of 2. In a multi-byte file the foldmarker could be recognized in the trail byte. (Taro Muraoka) Pasting with CTRL-V and menu didn't work properly when some commands are mapped. Use ":normal!" instead of ":normal". (Tony Apuzzo) Crashed when expanding a file name argument in backticks. In some situations the menu and scrollbar didn't work, when the value contains a CSI byte. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) GTK GUI: When drawing the balloon focus changes and we might get a key release event that removed the balloon again. Ignore the key release event. 'titleold' was included in ":mkexrc" and ":mksession" files. ":set background&" didn't use the same logic as was used when starting up. When "umask" is set such that nothing is writable then the viminfo file would be written without write permission. (Julian Bridle) Motif: In diff mode dragging one scrollbar didn't update the scrollbar of the other diff'ed window. When editing in an xterm with a different number of colors than expected the screen would be cleared and redrawn, causing the message about the edited file to be cleared. Now set "keep_msg" to redraw the last message. For a color terminal: When the Normal HL uses bold, possibly to make the color lighter, and another HL group specifies a color it might become light as well. Now reset bold if a HL group doesn't specify bold itself. When using 256 color xterm the color 255 would show up as color 0. Use a short instead of a char to store the color number. ml_get errors when searching for "\n\zs" in an empty file. When selecting a block and using "$" to select until the end of every line and not highlighting the character under the cursor the first character of the block could be unhighlighted. When counting words for the Visual block area and using "$" to select until the end of every line only up to the length of the last line was counted. "dip" in trailing empty lines left one empty line behind. The script ID was only remembered globally for each option. When a buffer- or window-local option was set the same "last set" location was changed for all buffers and windows. Now remember the script ID for each local option separately. GUI: The "Replace All" button didn't handle backslashes in the replacement in the same way as "Replace". Escape backslashes so that they are taken literally. When using Select mode from Insert mode and typing a key, causing lines to be deleted and a message displayed, delayed the effect of inserting the key. Now overwrite the message without delay. When 'whichwrap' includes "l" then "dl" and "yl" on a single letter line worked differently. Now recognize all operators when using "l" at the end of a line. GTK GUI: when the font selector returned a font name with a comma in it then it would be handled like two font names. Now put a backslash before the comma. MS-DOS, Win32: When 'encoding' defaults to "latin1" then the value for 'iskeyword' was still for CPxxx. And when 'nocompatible' was set 'isprint' would also be the wrong value. When a command was defined not to take arguments and no '|' no warning message would be given for using a '|'. Also with ":loadkeymap". Motif: When using a fontset and 'encoding' is "utf-8" and sizeof(wchar_t) != sizeof(XChar2b) then display was wrong. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) ":all" always set the current window to the first window, even when it contains a buffer that is not in the argument list (can't be closed because it is modified). Now go to the window that has the first item of the argument list. GUI: To avoid left-over pixels from bold text all characters after a character with special attributes were redrawn. Now only do this for characters that actually are bold. Speeds up displaying considerably. When only highlighting changes and the text is scrolled at the same time everything is redraw instead of using a scroll and updating the changed text. E.g., when using ":match" to highlight a paren that the cursor landed on. Added SOME_VALID: Redraw the whole window but also try to scroll to minimize redrawing. Win32: When using Korean IME making it active didn't work properly. (Moon, Yu-sung, 2005 March 21) Ruby interface: when inserting/deleting lines display wasn't updated. (Ryan Paul) Getting the GCC version in configure didn't work with Solaris sed. First strip any "darwin." and then get the version number. The "autoload" directory was missing from the self-installing executable for MS-Windows. The MS-Windows install program would find "vimtutor.bat" in the install directory. After changing to "c:" also change to "\" to avoid looking in the install directory. To make the 16 bit DOS version compile exclude not used highlight initializations and build a tiny instead of small version. finddir() and findfile() accept a negative count and return a List then. The Python indent file contained a few debugging statements, removed. Expanding {} for a function name, resulting in a name starting with "s:" was not handled correctly. Spelling: renamed COMPOUNDMAX to COMPOUNDWORDMAX. Added several items to be able to handle the new Hungarian dictionary. Mac: Default to building for the current platform only, that is much faster than building a universal binary. Also, using Perl/Python/etc. only works for the current platform. The time on undo messages disappeared for someone. Using %T for strftime() apparently doesn't work everywhere. Use %H:%M:%S instead. Typing BS at the "z=" prompt removed the prompt. When jumping to another tab page the Vim window size was always set, even when nothing in the layout changed. Win32 GUI tab pages line wasn't always enabled. Do a proper check for the compiler version. Win32: When switching between tab pages the Vim window was moved when part of it was outside of the screen. Now only do that in the direction of a size change. Win32: added menu to GUI tab pages line. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Mac: Added document icons. (Benji Fisher) Insert mode completion: Using Enter to accept the current match causes confusion. Use CTRL-Y instead. Also, use CTRL-E to go back to the typed text. GUI: When there are left and right scrollbars, ":tabedit" kept them instead of using the one that isn't needed. Using "gP" to replace al the text could leave the cursor below the last line, causing ml_get errors. When 'cursorline' is set don't use the highlighting when Visual mode is active, otherwise it's difficult to see the selected area. The matchparen plugin restricts the search to 100 lines, to avoid a long delay when there are closed folds. Sometimes using CTRL-X s to list spelling suggestions used text from another line. Win32: Set the default for 'isprint' back to the wrong default "@,~-255", because many people use Windows-1252 while 'encoding' is "latin1". GTK: Added a workaround for gvim crashing when used over an untrusted ssh link, caused by GTK doing something nasty. (Ed Catmur) Win32: The font used for the tab page labels is too big. Use the system menu font. (George Reilly) Win32: Adjusting the window position and size to keep it on the screen didn't work properly when the taskbar is on the left or top of the screen. The installman.sh and installml.sh scripts use ${10}, that didn't work with old shells. And use "test -f" instead of "test -e". Win32: When 'encoding' was set in the vimrc then a directory argument for diff mode didn't work. GUI: at the inputlist() prompt the cursorshape was adjusted as if the windows were still at their old position. The parenmatch plugin didn't remember the highlighting per window. Using ":bd" for a buffer that's the current window in another tab page caused a crash. For a new tab page the 'scroll' option wasn't set to a good default. Using an end offset for a search "/pat/e" didn't work properly for multi-byte text. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) ":s/\n/,/" doubled the text when used on the last line. When "search" is in 'foldopen' "[s" and "]s" now open folds. When using a numbered function "dict" can be omitted, but "self" didn't work then. Always add FC_DICT to the function flags when it's part of a dictionary. When "--remote-tab" executes locally it left an empty tab page. "gvim -u NONE", ":set cursorcolumn" "C" in the second line didn't update text. Do update further lines even though the "$" is displayed. VMS: Support GTK better, also enable +clientserver. (Zoltan Arpadffy) When highlighting of statusline or tabline is changed there was no redraw to show the effect. Mac: Added "CFBundleIdentifier" to infplist.xml. Added tabpage-local variables t:var. Win32: Added double-click in tab pages line creates new tab. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Motif: Added GUI tab pages line. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Fixed crash when 'lines' was set to 1000 in a modeline. When init_spellfile() finds a writable directory in 'runtimepath' but it doesn't contain a "spell" directory, create one. Win32: executable() also finds "xxd" in the directory where Vim was started, but "!xxd" doesn't work. Append the Vim starting directory to $PATH. The tab page labels are shortened, directory names are reduced to a single letter by default. Added the pathshorten() function to allow a user to do the same. ":saveas" now resets 'readonly' if the file was successfully written. Set $MYVIMRC file to the first found .vimrc file. Set $MYGVIMRC file to the first found .gvimrc file. Added menu item "Startup Settings" that edits the $MYVIMRC file Added matcharg(). Error message E745 appeared twice. Renamed one to E786. Fixed crash when using "au BufRead * Sexplore" and doing ":help". Was wiping out a buffer that's still in a window. ":hardcopy" resulted in an error message when 'encoding' is "utf-8" and 'printencoding' is empty. Now it assumes latin1. (Mike Williams) The check for the toolbar feature for Motif, depending on certain included files, wasn't detailed enough, causing building to fail in gui_xmebw.c. Using CTRL-E in Insert mode completion after CTRL-P inserted the first match instead of the original text. When displaying a UTF-8 character with a zero lower byte Vim might think the previous character is double-wide. The "nbsp" item of 'listchars' didn't work when 'encoding' was utf-8. Motif: when Xm/xpm.h is missing gui_xmebw.c would not compile. HAVE_XM_UNHIGHLIGHTT_H was missing a T. Mac: Moved the .icns files into src/os_mac_rsrc, so that they can all be copied at once. Adjusted the Info.plist file for three icons. When Visual mode is active while switching to another tabpage could get ml_get errors. When 'list' is set, 'nowrap' the $ in the first column caused 'cursorcolumn' to move to the right. When a line wraps, 'cursorcolumn' was never displayed past the end of the line. 'autochdir' was only available when compiled with NetBeans and GUI. Now it's a separate feature, also available in the "big" version. Added CTRL-W gf: open file under cursor in new tab page. When using the menu in the tab pages line, "New Tab" opens the new tab before where the click was. Beyond the labels the new tab appears at the end instead of after the current tab page. Inside a mapping with an expression getchar() could not be used. When vgetc is used recursively vgetc_busy protects it from being used recursively. But after a ":normal" command the protection was reset. ":s/a/b/n" didn't work when 'modifiable' was off. When $VIMRUNTIME includes a multi-byte character then rgb.txt could not be found. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) ":mkspell" didn't work correctly for non-ASCII affix flags when conversion is needed on the spell file. glob('/dir/\$ABC/*') didn't work. When using several tab pages and changing 'cmdheight' the display could become messed up. Now store the value of 'cmdheight' separately for each tab page. The user of the Enter key while the popup menu is visible was still confusing. Now use Enter to select the match after using a cursor key. Added "usetab" to 'switchbuf'. Added CTRL-W T: move a window to a new tab page. Using CTRL-X s in Insert mode to complete spelling suggestions and using BS deleted characters before the bad word. A few small fixes for the VMS makefile. (Zoltan Arpadffy) With a window of 91 lines 45 cols, ":vsp" scrolled the window. Copy w_wrow when splitting a window and skip setting the height when it's already at the right value. Using <silent> in a mapping with a shell command and the GUI caused redraw to use wrong attributes. Win32: Using MSVC 4.1 for install.exe resulted in the start menu items to be created in the administrator directory instead of "All Users". Define the CSIDL_ items if they are missing. Motif: The GUI tabline did not use the space above the right scrollbar. Work around a bug in the Motif library. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) The extra files for XML Omni completion are now also installed. |xml-omni-datafile| GTK GUI: when 'm' is missing from 'guioptions' during startup and pressing <F10> GTK produced error messages. Now do create the menu but disable it just after the first gui_mch_update(). ":mkspell" doesn't work well with the Hungarian dictionary from the Hunspell project. Back to the Myspell dictionary. In help files hide the | used around tags. Renamed pycomplete to pythoncomplete. Added "tabpages" to 'sessionoptions'. When 'guitablabel' is set the effect wasn't visible right away. Fixed a few 'cindent' errors. When completing menu names, e.g., after ":emenu", don't sort the entries but keep them in the original order. Fixed a crash when editing a directory in diff mode. Don't trigger autocommands when executing the diff command. Getting a keystroke could get stuck if 'encoding' is a multi-byte encoding and typing a special key. When 'foldignore' is set the folds were not updated right away. When a list is indexed with [a : b] and b was greater than the length an error message was given. Now silently truncate the result. When using BS during Insert mode completion go back to the original text, so that CTRL-N selects the first matching entry. Added the 'M' flag to 'cinoptions'. Win32: Make the "gvim --help" window appear in the middle of the screen instead of at an arbitrary position. (Randall W. Morris) Added gettabwinvar() and settabwinvar(). Command line completion: pressing <Tab> after ":e /usr/*" expands the whole tree, because it becomes ":e /usr/**". Don't add a star if there already is one. Added grey10 to grey90 to all GUIs, so that they can all be used for initializing highlighting. Use grey40 for CursorColumn and CursorLine when 'background' is "dark". When reading a file and using iconv for conversion, an incomplete byte sequence at the end caused problems. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) Default color for MatchParen when 'background' is "dark" is now DarkCyan. ":syn off" had to be used twice in a file that sets 'syntax' in a modeline. (Michael Geddes) When using ":vsp" or ":sp" the available space wasn't used equally between windows. (Servatius Brandt) Expanding <cWORD> on a trailing blank resulted in the first word in the line if 'encoding' is a multi-byte encoding. Spell checking: spellbadword() didn't see a missing capital in the first word of a line. Popup menu now only suggest the capitalized word when appropriate. When using whole line completion CTRL-L moves through the matches but it didn't work when at the original text. When completion finds the longest match, don't go to the first match but stick at the original text, so that CTRL-N selects the first one. Recognize "zsh-beta" like "zsh" for setting the 'shellpipe' default. (James Vega) When using ":map <expr>" and the expression results in something with a special byte (NUL or CSI) then it didn't work properly. Now escape special bytes. The default Visual highlighting for a color xterm with 8 colors was a magenta background, which made magenta text disappear. Now use reverse in this specific situation. After completing the longest match "." didn't insert the same text. Repeating also didn't work correctly for multi-byte text. When using Insert mode completion and BS the whole word that was completed would result in all possible matches. Now stop completion. Also fixes that for spell completion the previous word was deleted. GTK: When 'encoding' is "latin1" and using non-ASCII characters in a file name the tab page label was wrong and an error message would be given. The taglist() function could hang on a tags line with a non-ASCII character. Win32: When 'encoding' differs from the system encoding tab page labels with non-ASCII characters looked wrong. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Motif: building failed when Xm/Notebook.h doesn't exist. Added a configure check, disable GUI tabline when it's missing. Mac: When compiled without multi-byte feature the clipboard didn't work. It was possible to switch to another tab page when the cmdline window is open. Completion could hang when 'lines' is 6 and a preview window was opened. Added CTRL-W gF: open file under cursor in new tab page and jump to the line number following the file name. Added 'guitabtooltip'. Implemented for Win32 (Yegappan Lakshmanan). Added "throw" to 'debug' option: throw an exception for error messages even whey they would otherwise be ignored. When 'keymap' is set and a line contains an invalid entry could get a "No mapping found" warning instead of a proper error message. Motif: default to using XpmAttributes instead of XpmAttributes_21. A few more changes for 64 bit MS-Windows. (George Reilly) Got ml_get errors when doing "o" and selecting in other window where there are less line shorter than the cursor position in the other window. ins_mouse() was using position in wrong window. Win32 GUI: Crash when giving a lot of messages during startup. Allocate twice as much memory for the dialog template. Fixed a few leaks and wrong pointer use reported by coverity. When showing menus the mode character was sometimes wrong. Added feedkeys(). (Yakov Lerner) Made matchlist() always return all submatches. Moved triggering QuickFixCmdPost to before jumping to the first location. Mac: Added the 'macatsui' option as a temporary work around for text drawing problems. Line completion on "/**" gave error messages when scanning an unloaded buffer. Win32: The height of the tab page labels is now adjusted to the font height. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Win32: selecting the tab label was off by one. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Added tooltips for Motif and GTK tab page labels. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) When 'encoding' is "utf-8" then ":help spell" would report an illegal byte and the file was not converted from latin1 to utf-8. Now retry with latin1 if reading the file as utf-8 results in illegal bytes. Escape the argument of feedkeys() before putting it in the typeahead buffer. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) Added the v:char variable for evaluating 'formatexpr'. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) With 8 colors Search highlighting combined with Statement highlighted text made the text disappear. VMS: avoid warnings for redefining MAX and MIN. (Zoltan Arpadffy) When 'virtualedit' includes "onemore", stopping Visual selection would still move the cursor left. Prevent that using CTRL-R = in Insert mode can start Visual mode. Fixed a crash that occurred when in Insert mode with completion active and a mapping caused edit() to be called recursively. When using CTRL-O in Insert mode just after the last character while 'virtualedit' is "all", then typing CR moved the last character to the next line. Call coladvance() before starting the new line. When using |:shell| ignore clicks on the tab page labels. Also when using the command line window. When 'eventignore' is "all" then adding more to ignoring some events, e.g., for ":vimgrep", would actually trigger more events. Win32: When a running Vim uses server name GVIM1 then "gvim --remote fname" didn't find it. When looking for a server name that doesn't end in a digit and it is not found then use another server with that name and a number (just like on Unix). When using "double" in 'spellsuggest' when the language doesn't support sound folding resulted in too many suggestions. Win32: Dropping a shortcut on the Vim icon didn't edit the referred file like editing it in another way would. Use fname_expand() in buf_set_name() instead of simply make the file name a full path. Using feedkeys() could cause Vim to hang. When closing another tab page from the tabline menu in Insert mode the tabline was not updated right away. The syntax menu didn't work in compatible mode. After using ":tag id" twice with the same "id", ":ts" and then ":pop" a ":ts" reported no matching tag. Clear the cached tag name. In Insert mode the matchparen plugin highlighted the wrong paren when there is a string just next to a paren. GTK: After opening a new tab page the text was sometimes not drawn correctly. Flush output and catch up with events when updating the tab page labels. In the GUI, using CTRL-W q to close the last window of a tab page could cause a crash. GTK: The tab pages line menu was not converted from 'encoding' to utf-8. Typing a multi-byte character or a special key at the hit-enter prompt did not work. When 'virtualedit' contains "onemore" CTRL-O in Insert mode still moved the cursor left when it was after the end of the line, even though it's allowed to be there. Added test for using tab pages. towupper() and towlower() were not used, because of checking for __STDC__ISO_10646__ instead of __STDC_ISO_10646__. (sertacyildiz) For ":map <expr>" forbid changing the text, jumping to another buffer and using ":normal" to avoid nasty side effects. Compilation error on HP-UX, use of "dlerr" must be inside a #ifdef. (Gary Johnson) Report +reltime feature in ":version" output. The tar and zip plugins detect failure to get the contents of the archive and edit the file as-is. When the result of 'guitablabel' is empty fall back to the default label. Fixed crash when using ":insert" in a while loop and missing "endwhile". "gt" and other commands could move to another window when |textlock| active and when the command line window was open. Spell checking a file with syntax highlighting and a bad word at the end of the line is ignored could make "]s" hang. Mac: inputdialog() didn't work when compiled with big features. Interrupting ":vimgrep" while it is busy loading a file left a modified and hidden buffer behind. Use enter_cleanup() and leave_cleanup() around wipe_buffer(). When making 'keymap' empty the b:keymap_name variable wasn't deleted. Using CTRL-N that searches a long time, pressing space to interrupt the searching and accept the first match, the popup menu was still displayed briefly. When setting the Vim window height with -geometry the 'window' option could be at a value that makes CTRL-F behave differently. When opening a quickfix window in two tabs they used different buffers, causing redrawing problems later. Now use the same buffer for all quickfix windows. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) When 'mousefocus' is set moving the mouse to the text tab pages line would move focus to the first window. Also, the mouse pointer would jump to the active window. In a session file, when an empty buffer is wiped out, do this silently. When one window has the cursor on the last line and another window is resized to make that window smaller, the cursor line could go below the displayed lines. In win_new_height() subtract one from the available space. Also avoid that using "~" lines makes the window scroll down. Mac: When sourcing the "macmap.vim" script and then finding a .vimrc file the 'cpo' option isn't set properly, because it was already set and restored. Added the <special> argument to ":map", so that 'cpo' doesn't need to be changed to be able to use <> notation. Also do this for ":menu" for consistency. When using "/encoding=abc" in a spell word list, only "bc" was used. When 'encoding' and 'printencoding' were both "utf-8" then ":hardcopy" didn't work. (Mike Williams) Mac: When building with "--disable-gui" the install directory would still be "/Applications" and Vim.app would be installed. Now install in /usr/local as usual for a console application. GUI: when doing completion and there is one match and still searching for another, the cursor was displayed at the end of the line instead of after the match. Now show the cursor after the match while still searching for matches. GUI: The mouse shape changed on the statusline even when 'mouse' was empty and they can't be dragged.. GTK2: Selecting a button in the confirm() dialog with Tab or cursor keys and hitting Enter didn't select that button. Removed GTK 1 specific code. (Neil Bird) When evaluating 'balloonexpr' takes a long time it could be called recursively, which could cause a crash. exists() could not be used to detect whether ":2match" is supported. Added a check for it specifically. GTK1: Tab page labels didn't work. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Insert mode completion: When finding matches use 'ignorecase', but when adding matches to the list don't use it, so that all words with different case are added, "word", "Word" and "WORD". When 'cursorline' and 'hlsearch' are set and the search pattern is "x\n" the rest of the line was highlighted as a match. Cursor moved while evaluating 'balloonexpr' that invokes ":isearch" and redirects the output. Don't move the cursor to the command line if msg_silent is set. exists() ignored text after a function name and option name, which could result in false positives. exists() ignored characters after the recognized word, which can be wrong when using a name with non-keyword characters. Specifically, these calls no longer allow characters after the name: exists('*funcname') exists('*funcname(...') exists('&option') exists(':cmd') exists('g:name') exists('g:name[n]') exists('g:name.n') Trigger the TabEnter autocommand only after entering the current window of the tab page, otherwise the commands are executed with an invalid current window. Win32: When using two monitors and Vim is on the second monitor, changing the width of the Vim window could make it jump to the first monitor. When scrolling back at the more prompt and the quitting a line of text would be left behind when 'cmdheight' is 2 or more. Fixed a few things for Insert mode completion, especially when typing BS, CTRL-N or a printable character while still searching for matches.
VERSION 7.1 *version-7.1* This section is about improvements made between version 7.0 and 7.1. This is a bug-fix release, there are no fancy new features. Changed *changed-7.1* Added setting 'mouse' in vimrc_example.vim. When building with MZscheme also look for include files in the "plt" subdirectory. That's where they are for FreeBSD. The Ruby interface module is now called "Vim" instead of "VIM". But "VIM" is an alias, so it's backwards compatible.

Added a few structure definitions in src/gui_w32.c Patch 7.0.001 Problem: ":set spellsuggest+=10" does not work. (Suresh Govindachar) Solution: Add P_COMMA to the 'spellsuggest' flags. Files: src/option.c Patch 7.0.002 Problem: C omni completion has a problem with tags files with a path containing "#" or "%". Solution: Escape these characters. (Sebastian Baberowski) Files: runtime/autoload/ccomplete.vim Patch 7.0.003 Problem: GUI: clicking in the lower part of a label in the tab pages line while 'mousefocus' is set may warp the mouse pointer. (Robert Webb) Solution: Check for a negative mouse position. Files: src/gui.c Patch 7.0.004 Problem: Compiler warning for debug_saved used before set. (Todd Blumer) Solution: Remove the "else" for calling save_dbg_stuff(). Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 7.0.005 (extra) Problem: Win32: The installer doesn't remove the "autoload" and "spell" directories.

Files: src/message.c Patch 7.0.008 Problem: Can't call a function that uses both <SID> and {expr}. (Thomas) Solution: Check both the expanded and unexpanded name for <SID>. Files: src/eval.c Patch 7.0.009 Problem: ml_get errors with both 'sidescroll' and 'spell' set. Solution: Use ml_get_buf() instead of ml_get(), get the line from the right buffer, not the current one. Files: src/spell.c Patch 7.0.010 Problem: The spellfile plugin required typing login name and password. Solution: Use "anonymous" and "vim7user" by default. No need to setup a .netrc file. Files: runtime/autoload/spellfile.vim Patch 7.0.011 Problem: Can't compile without the folding and with the eval feature. Solution: Add an #ifdef. (Vallimar) Files: src/option.c Patch 7.0.012 Problem: Using the matchparen plugin, moving the cursor in Insert mode to a shorter line that ends in a brace, changes the preferred column Solution: Use winsaveview()/winrestview() instead of getpos()/setpos(). Files: runtime/plugin/matchparen.vim Patch 7.0.013 Problem: Insert mode completion: using CTRL-L to add an extra character also deselects the current match, making it impossible to use CTRL-L a second time. Solution: Keep the current match. Also make CTRL-L work at the original text, using the first displayed match. Files: src/edit.c Patch 7.0.014 Problem: Compiling gui_xmebw.c fails on Dec Alpha Tru64. (Rolfe) Solution: Disable some code for Motif 1.2 and older. Files: src/gui_xmebw.c Patch 7.0.015 Problem: Athena: compilation problems with modern compiler. Solution: Avoid type casts for lvalue. (Alexey Froloff) Files: src/gui_at_fs.c Patch 7.0.016 Problem: Printing doesn't work for "dec-mcs" encoding. Solution: Add "dec-mcs", "mac-roman" and "hp-roman8" to the list of recognized 8-bit encodings. (Mike Williams) Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 7.0.017 (after 7.0.014) Problem: Linking gui_xmebw.c fails on Dec Alpha Tru64. (Rolfe) Solution: Adjust defines for Motif 1.2 and older. Files: src/gui_xmebw.c Patch 7.0.018 Problem: VMS: plugins are not loaded on startup. Solution: Remove "**" from the path. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Files: src/main.c Patch 7.0.019 Problem: Repeating "VjA789" may cause a crash. (James Vega) Solution: Check the cursor column after moving it to another line. Files: src/ops.c Patch 7.0.020 Problem: Crash when using 'mousefocus'. (William Fulton) Solution: Make buffer for mouse coordinates 2 bytes longer. (Juergen Weigert) Files: src/gui.c Patch 7.0.021 Problem: Crash when using "\\[" and "\\]" in 'errorformat'. (Marc Weber) Solution: Check for valid submatches after matching the pattern. Files: src/quickfix.c Patch 7.0.022 Problem: Using buffer.append() in Ruby may append the line to the wrong buffer. (Alex Norman) Solution: Properly switch to the buffer to do the appending. Also for buffer.delete() and setting a buffer line. Files: src/if_ruby.c Patch 7.0.023 Problem: Crash when doing spell completion in an empty line and pressing CTRL-E.

(Yegappan Lakshmanan) Files: src/buffer.c, src/quickfix.c Patch 7.0.147 Problem: When creating a session file and there are several tab pages and some windows have a local directory a short file name may be used when it's not valid. (Marius Roets) A session with multiple tab pages may result in "No Name" buffers. (Bill McCarthy) Solution: Don't enter tab pages when going through the list, only use a pointer to the first window in each tab page. Use "tabedit" instead of "tabnew | edit" when possible. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 7.0.148 Problem: When doing "call a.xyz()" and "xyz" does not exist in dictionary "a" there is no error message. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Solution: Add the error message.

(Yegappan Lakshmanan) Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 7.0.162 Problem: "vim -o a b" when file "a" triggers the ATTENTION dialog, selecting "Quit" exits Vim instead of editing "b" only. When file "b" triggers the ATTENTION dialog selecting "Quit" or "Abort" results in editing file "a" in that window. Solution: When selecting "Abort" exit Vim. When selecting "Quit" close the window. Also avoid hit-enter prompt when selecting Abort. Files: src/buffer.c, src/main.c Patch 7.0.163 Problem: Can't retrieve the position of a sign after it was set.

(Ingo Karkat) Solution: Add the NUL. Files: src/eval.c Patch 7.0.176 Problem: ":emenu" isn't executed directly, causing the encryption key prompt to fail. (Life Jazzer) Solution: Fix wrong #ifdef. Files: src/menu.c Patch 7.0.177 Problem: When the press-enter prompt gets a character from a non-remappable mapping, it's put back in the typeahead buffer as remappable, which may cause an endless loop. Solution: Restore the non-remappable flag and the silent flag when putting a char back in the typeahead buffer. Files: src/getchar.c, src/message.c, src/normal.c Patch 7.0.178 Problem: When 'enc' is "utf-8" and 'ignorecase' is set the result of ":echo ("\xe4" == "\xe4")" varies.

(Yegappan Lakshmanan) Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt, src/quickfix.c Patch 7.0.192 Problem: When 'swapfile' is switched off in an empty file it is possible that not all blocks are loaded into memory, causing ml_get errors later. Solution: Rename "dont_release" to "mf_dont_release" and also use it to avoid using the cached line and locked block. Files: src/globals.h, src/memfile.c, src/memline.c Patch 7.0.193 Problem: Using --remote or --remote-tab with an argument that matches 'wildignore' causes a crash. Solution: Check the argument count before using ARGLIST[0].

VERSION 7.2 *version-7.2* This section is about improvements made between version 7.1 and 7.2. This is mostly a bug-fix release. The main new feature is floating point support. |Float| Changed *changed-7.2* Changed the command line buffer name from "command-line" to "[Command Line]". Removed optional ! for ":caddexpr", ":cgetexpr", ":cgetfile", ":laddexpr", ":lgetexpr" and ":lgetfile". They are not needed. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) An offset for syntax matches worked on bytes instead of characters. That is inconsistent and can easily be done wrong. Use character offsets now. (Yukihiro Nakadaira) The FileChangedShellPost event was also given when a file didn't change. (John Little) When the current line is long (doesn't fit) the popup menu can't be seen. Display it below the screen line instead of below the text line. (Francois Ingelrest) Switched to autoconf version 2.62. Moved including fcntl.h to vim.h and removed it from all .c files. Introduce macro STRMOVE(d, s), like STRCPY() for overlapping strings. Use it instead of mch_memmove(p, p + x, STRLEN(p + x) + 1). Removed the bulgarian.vim keymap file, two more standard ones replace it. (Boyko Bantchev) Increased the maximum number of tag matches for command line completion from 200 to 300.
