11 * add a new <item> below (copy an old one)
13 * Adapt the <description>
14 * Adapt the <pubDate> (format 'Day, dd Mon yyyy hh:mm CET')
15 * Adapte <enclosure>, make sure to update the url, length, saprkle:version
16 and sparkle:shortVersionString attributes.
18 Sparkle honors the following user defaults:
20 * SUFeedURL overrides the value in Info.plist (if we want to offer several
21 appcasts in the preferences one day ("latest", "stable" for example).
23 This means that for testing you can do
25 defaults read org.vim.MacVim SUFeedURL # note this down
26 defaults write org.vim.MacVim SUFeedURL file:///Users/you/testcast.xml
27 # !!! note the three '/' after 'file:
29 defaults write org.vim.MacVim SUFeedURL previousvalue
30 # or, to use some default setting for the url,
31 defaults delete org.vim.MacVim SUFeedURL
33 Sparkle usually assumes a naming scheme of name_versionnumber.tar.bz2 .
34 Instead, you can also provide a sparkle:version="2.0_rc2" attribute on
35 the enclosure and name the package as you like. You can (and should) also
36 provide a sparkle:shortVersionString="User-facing version string"
37 attribute that corresponds to CFBundleShortVersionString. Sparkle uses
38 CFBundleVersion to determine the current application version.
40 Sparkle supports updates in zip, tar, tbz, tgz, or dmg format.

77 <h1>MacVim snapshot 31 released</h1>
78 <p> Changes since snapshot 30:
80 <li> Fixed problems with menus on OS X 10.4 and a related crash. </li>
81 <li> Dialog box handling has been updated. This fixes a problem where the
82 "swap file warning" dialog would pop up before the informational text in
83 the editor window updated. Hopefully this will also cure various other
84 problems with dialogs (e.g. nothing happening when opening files from a
86 <li> Added dock menu with "New Window" item. This is useful with "Spaces" on
87 OS X 10.5 since you can use this menu to open a new MacVim window on any
88 "space" when another editor window is already open. (Also, now there is
89 always a way to open a new window, even if the menus are customized,
90 or if "-u NONE" is used.) </li>
91 <li> I have started trying to fix "modeless selection" and it sort of works
92 on my machine, but I've had one report stating that its not quite
93 working so you mileage may vary. Make sure to let me know what works
94 and doesn't so that I can fix this properly. (Try selecting text from
95 the command line.) </li>
96 <li> The default font (DejaVu Sans Mono) has been updated to version 2.25.
98 <li> Latest Vim source code merged </li>

115 <h1>MacVim snapshot 30 released</h1>
116 <p> Changes since snapshot 28:
118 <li> copy&paste and other "Edit" menu items now work as expected with dialogs
119 (such as open/save). </li>
120 <li> some menus (such as the "Window" menu) has got some new items </li>
121 <li> general menu improvements when no editor window is open </li>
122 <li> ability to access some OS X default Cmd-keys even if menus are
123 completely altered (e.g. when starting with "-u NONE") </li>
124 <li> QuickLook works with .vim files (patch by Nico Weber) </li>
125 <li> insert mode cursor honors the 'rightleft' option </li>
126 <li> no more "freezes" during :shell </li>
127 <li> no beeping on Cmd-q </li>
128 <li> Cmd-w works in full-screen again </li>
129 <li> window dimensions properly restored when leaving full-screen when
130 "maxvert" is in 'fuoptions' </li>
131 <li> support for 'mousehide' option </li>
132 <li> latest vim patches and runtime files </li>
135 <p> The only difference between snapshot 29 and 30 is that the former did not
136 handle window cycling very well with international keyboard layouts. </p>

181 <h1>MacVim snapshot 27 released</h1>
182 <p> This is the first snapshot compiled on the new Mac I bought with money
183 donated from MacVim users! There were problems with compiling universal
184 binaries with Ruby and Perl support on PPC/Tiger so I was hoping to be able
185 to include these now that I have Intel/Leopard. The good news is that Ruby
186 support is now included, but Perl still is problematic and I had to drop
187 TCL support. I will try to get these working in a future snapshot.
190 <p> Here is the list of changes since snapshot 26:
192 <li> 'fuoptions' now support setting the background color while in
193 full-screen mode, check ":h 'fuopt'" (patch by Enno Lübbers) </li>
194 <li> <D-w> shows confirmation dialog when buffer is modified </li>
195 <li> setting 'antialias' from gvimrc now works </li>
196 <li> zooming a window no longer causes it to move downwards </li>
197 <li> the File menu now contains a "Recent Files" submenu; note that only
198 files opened from Finder or with the ":browse" command are added to this
199 list, and not files opened with e.g. ":e" (patch by Nico Weber) </li>
200 <li> includes latest Vim patches and runtime files </li>

236 <h1>MacVim snapshot 25 released</h1>
238 <p> This snapshot adds support for two new options: 'antialias' and
239 'fuoptions'. The former lets you turn text antialiasing on or off (it's
240 on by default), the latter can be used to make the view maximize when
241 full-screen is entered. See the built-in help for more information (:h
242 'anti' and :h 'fuopt'). </p>
244 <p> Another minor addition is that <C-c> and <C-v> work with
245 block-wise selections (do note that <C-v> behaves like "P", not "p").
246 Also, <D-w> now works in ex-mode and in a command-line window. </p>
248 <p> Here is the list of changes since snapshot 24:
250 <li> support 'antialias' option (Jjgod Jiang) </li>
251 <li> add option 'fuoptions' to control resizing when full-screen is entered
253 <li> fixed bug where transparency setting was lost after leaving full-screen
255 <li> help menu contains MacVim help and website link </li>
256 <li> <D-w> now works in ex-mode and in command-line window </li>
257 <li> :macaction command supports command-line completion (Nico Weber) </li>
258 <li> copy/paste respects block selections (requested by George Harker) </li>
259 <li> window no longer cascades from preferences panel </li>

305 <h1>MacVim snapshot 23 released</h1>
307 Changes since snapshot 22:
310 <li> The preferences panel has been updated with an "Integration pane". This
311 can be used to easily install (and uninstall) the "Edit in ODBEditor"
312 input manager. The input manager enables you to use MacVim to edit text
313 in any Cocoa text field (e.g. you can use MacVim to edit emails in Mail).
314 Please read the warning on the Integration pane before installing the
315 input manager. (Patch by Nico Weber.) </li>
316 <li> The "Login Shell" preference has been updated so it should now work with
317 most shells. This option ensures that environment variables (e.g. $PATH)
318 are set properly. You should enable it if you ever need to issue shell
319 commands from within MacVim. (Patch by Ben Schmidt.) </li>
320 <li> Added MMZoomBoth user default. Enable this if you prefer the window to
321 maximize in both directions when you press the green "maximize button"
322 (hold down Cmd to temporarily restrict resizing to the vertical direction
323 only). (Requested by Brian McKee.) </li>
324 <li> Added Cmd-Ctrl-z as key equivalent for "Window->Zoom" (this is the same
325 key equivalent as in iTunes) </li>
326 <li> The Vim runtime files have been updated to the latest version </li>
327 <li> MacVim recognizes files with .patch and .diff extension </li>
328 <li> The mouse cursor in insert mode has higher contrast (when used with dark
329 backgrounds). (Requested by Enno et al.) </li>
330 <li> Line numbers (:h 'number') are brighter when bakground=dark. (Requested

356 <p><em>This snapshot replaces the broken snapshot 21. If you installed build 21
357 then please update immediately.</em></p>
359 <p>Changes since snapshot 20:</p>
361 <li>Fix forking bug which caused snapshot 21 to lock up OS X</li>
362 <li>The macvim color scheme changed so that line numbers look better when
363 the background is dark (enable line numbers with :set number; set dark
364 background with :set bg=dark)</li>
365 <li>Improved support for Voice Over (enable with <D-F5>)</li>
366 <li>System bell support (see :h 'vb' on how to turn it off)</li>
367 <li>MacVim no longer associates to .plist and .dict since these may well be
368 in binary format</li>
369 <li>Added Find Next <D-g>, Find Previous <D-G> and Use Selection
370 for Find <D-e> menu items</li>
371 <li>Track pad scrolling is now force sensitive</li>
372 <li>Added help section on preferences</li>
373 <li>Preferences panel updated (also no longer hides when MacVim loses focus)
377 <p>The most exciting new addition in this snapshot is support for <D-g>.
378 It repeats the last search you made in any other application (that supports the
379 Find Pasteboard).</p>
380 <p>This is very useful if you have several windows open in MacVim...try
381 searching for something in one window (using "/"), then switching to another
382 window and hitting <D-g> for an example (after having pressed <D-g>
383 once you can of course use "n" to repeat the search).</p>
