MacVim.app - Leopard build
Hi everybody,
Since Leopard was released today I decided to upload a new snapshot of
MacVim which includes Jiang's Leopard patch (thanks again for the
patch Jiang). To those of you who have upgraded to Leopard: please
let me know how it works...I would like to get several confirmations
that it actually runs on Leopard! (No, I have not upgraded myself.)
The snapshot can be downloaded from the usual place
http://code.google.com/p/macvim/
As for changes, well, it really is very easy to spot them at
http://repo.or.cz/w/MacVim.git
so I suggest you have a look there. But to save you from clicking
I'll list some changes here:
- Dimension feedback in window title during resize (thanks to Tim
Allen for the patch)
- New input queuing system in the Backend which fixes the 'go+=3Dc' bug,
a process leak bug, and possibly others too
- Reduce update delay when resizing with mouse (thanks to Nico Weber
for the patch)
- Font name parser now translates underscore to spaces (font size
still specified with :h12 construct)
- Cursor blinking now works in insert mode (hint: if you dislike
blinking cursors as much as I do, then add the line "set
gcr=3Da:blinkon0" to your gvimrc. check ":h 'gcr'" for more info on
this.)
- Scrollbars are disabled when you first start up MacVim (thanks again
to Nico for the patch)
- Menus are only updated when necessary...this makes a very noticable
difference in speed when you have lots of menus (no longer a delay on
mode change)
I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all
contributors...it is really great to see more people contributing with
patches! :-)
Sincerely,
Bjorn
