59 ==============================================================================
60 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-7*
62 These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you
63 run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0.
65 A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer,
66 unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|. This was illogical, since the
67 buffer is still modified compared to the original file. And when undoing
68 all changes the file would actually be marked modified. It does mean that
71 ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.
73 In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file
74 name. This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping
75 double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi.
76 Command Vim 6.x file name Vim 7.x file name ~
77 :edit foo\"888 foo"888 foo"888
78 :next foo\"888 foo888 foo"888
79 :next a\"b c\"d ab cd a"b and c"d
81 In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one.
82 ":echo 'a''b'" would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it
85 When overwriting a file with ":w! fname" there was no warning for when "fname"
86 was being edited by another Vim. Vim now gives an error message |E768|.
88 The support for Mac OS 9 has been removed.
90 Files ending in .tex now have 'filetype' set to "context", "plaintex", or
91 "tex". |ft-tex-plugin|
94 Minor incompatibilities:
96 For filetype detection: For many types, use */.dir/filename instead of
97 ~/.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.
99 For quite a few filetypes the indent settings have been moved from the
100 filetype plugin to the indent plugin. If you used: >
102 Then some indent settings may be missing. You need to use: >
103 :filetype plugin indent on
105 ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.
107 Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.
109 Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File". It was
110 confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".
112 When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name
113 isn't set. This avoids creating buffers without a name, they are not useful.
115 The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML. This means the HTML
116 looks like it's displayed, with the same folds open and closed. Use "zR", or
117 "let html_ignore_folding=1", if no folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by
119 Diff mode is now also converted to HTML as it is displayed.
121 Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'. Now it depends
122 on whether <F10> has been mapped or not. This allows mapping <F10> without
123 changing 'winaltkeys'.
125 When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which
126 is illogical. Now it becomes "9". The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to
127 avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010".
129 When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings'
130 now includes "default" before "latin1". This means that for files with 8-bit
131 encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if
132 possible. Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a
133 non-latin1 environment, such as Russian.
135 Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying
136 a help file, and using ":quit". Now only the window is closed.
138 "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit.
139 Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option.
141 Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately. This had the
142 disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since
143 you can't be sure what the keyboard generates. Now all <xHome> are internally
144 translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings. Also for <xEnd>,
147 ":put" now leaves the cursor on the last inserted line.
149 When a .gvimrc file exists then 'compatible' is off, just like when a ".vimrc"
152 When making a string upper-case with "vlllU" or similar then the German sharp
153 s is replaced with "SS". This does not happen with "~" to avoid backwards
154 compatibility problems and because "SS" can't be changed back to a sharp s.
156 "gd" previously found the very first occurrence of a variable in a function,
157 that could be the function argument without type. Now it finds the position
158 where the type is given.
160 The line continuation in functions was not taken into account, line numbers in
161 errors were logical lines, not lines in the sourced file. That made it
162 difficult to locate errors. Now the line number in the sourced file is
163 reported, relative to the function start. This also means that line numbers
164 for ":breakadd func" are different.
166 When defining a user command with |:command| the special items could be
167 abbreviated. This caused unexpected behavior, such as <li> being recognized
168 as <line1>. The items can no longer be abbreviated.
170 When executing a FileChangedRO autocommand it is no longer allowed to switch
171 to another buffer or edit another file. This is to prevent crashes (the event
172 is triggered deep down in the code where changing buffers is not anticipated).
173 It is still possible to reload the buffer.
175 At the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, when the 'more' option is
176 set, the 'k', 'u', 'g' and 'b' keys are now used to scroll back to previous
177 messages. Thus they are no longer used as typeahead.
179 ==============================================================================
182 Vim script enhancements *new-vim-script*
183 -----------------------
185 In Vim scripts the following types have been added:
187 |List| ordered list of items
188 |Dictionary| associative array of items
189 |Funcref| reference to a function
191 Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types.
193 The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a
194 variable. Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them. Then |eval()|
195 can be used to turn the string back into the variable value.
197 The |:let| command can now use "+=", "-=" and ".=": >
198 :let var += expr " works like :let var = var + expr
199 :let var -= expr " works like :let var = var - expr
200 :let var .= string " works like :let var = var . string
202 With the |:profile| command you can find out where your function or script
205 In the Python interface vim.eval() also handles Dictionaries and Lists.
206 |python-eval| (G. Sumner Hayes)
208 The |getscript| plugin was added as a convenient way to update scripts from
209 www.vim.org automatically. (Charles Campbell)
211 The |vimball| plugin was added as a convenient way to distribute a set of
212 files for a plugin (plugin file, autoload script, documentation). (Charles
216 Spell checking *new-spell*
219 Spell checking has been integrated in Vim. There were a few implementations
220 with scripts, but they were slow and/or required an external program.
222 The 'spell' option is used to switch spell checking on or off
223 The 'spelllang' option is used to specify the accepted language(s)
224 The 'spellfile' option specifies where new words are added
225 The 'spellsuggest' option specifies the methods used for making suggestions
227 The |]s| and |[s| commands can be used to move to the next or previous error
228 The |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to add good and wrong words
229 The |z=| command can be used to list suggestions and correct the word
230 The |:mkspell| command is used to generate a Vim spell file from word lists
232 The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling
233 mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki).
234 The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and
236 The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about
237 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined
238 with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax
239 highlighting and marking the Visual area.
241 Much more info here: |spell|.
244 Omni completion *new-omni-completion*
247 This could also be called "intellisense", but that is a trademark. It is a
248 smart kind of completion. The text in front of the cursor is inspected to
249 figure out what could be following. This may suggest struct and class
250 members, system functions, etc.
252 Use CTRL-X CTRL-O in Insert mode to start the completion. |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|
254 The 'omnifunc' option is set by filetype plugins to define the function that
255 figures out the completion.
257 Currently supported languages:
259 (X)HTML with CSS |ft-html-omni|
260 JavaScript |ft-javascript-omni|
266 any language with syntax highlighting |ft-syntax-omni|
268 You can add your own omni completion scripts.
270 When the 'completeopt' option contains "menu" then matches for Insert mode
271 completion are displayed in a (rather primitive) popup menu.
274 MzScheme interface *new-MzScheme*
277 The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme|
279 The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands
280 The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file
282 This depends on Vim being compiled with the |+mzscheme| feature.
285 Printing multi-byte text *new-print-multi-byte*
286 ------------------------
288 The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters when using
291 The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this.
292 Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|. (Mike Williams)
295 Tab pages *new-tab-pages*
298 A tab page is page with one or more windows with a label (aka tab) at the top.
299 By clicking on the label you can quickly switch between the tab pages. And
300 with the keyboard, using the |gt| (Goto Tab) command. This is a convenient
301 way to work with many windows.
303 To start Vim with each file argument in a separate tab page use the |-p|
304 argument. The maximum number of pages can be set with 'tabpagemax'.
306 The line with tab labels is either made with plain text and highlighting or
307 with a GUI mechanism. The GUI labels look better but are only available on a
308 few systems. The line can be customized with 'tabline', 'guitablabel' and
309 'guitabtooltip'. Whether it is displayed is set with 'showtabline'. Whether
310 to use the GUI labels is set with the "e" flag in 'guioptions'.
312 The |:tab| command modifier can be used to have most commands that open a new
313 window open a new tab page instead.
315 The |--remote-tab| argument can be used to edit a file in a new tab page in an
316 already running Vim server.
318 Variables starting with "t:" are local to a tab page.
320 More info here: |tabpage|
321 Most of the GUI stuff was implemented by Yegappan Lakshmanan.
324 Undo branches *new-undo-branches*
327 Previously there was only one line of undo-redo. If, after undoing a number
328 of changes, a new change was made all the undone changes were lost. This
329 could lead to accidentally losing work.
331 Vim now makes an undo branch in this situation. Thus you can go back to the
332 text after any change, even if they were undone. So long as you do not run
333 into 'undolevels', when undo information is freed up to limit the memory used.
335 To be able to navigate the undo branches each change is numbered sequentially.
336 The commands |g-| and |:earlier| go back in time, to older changes. The
337 commands |g+| and |:later| go forward in time, to newer changes.
339 The changes are also timestamped. Use ":earlier 10m" to go to the text as it
340 was about ten minutes earlier.
342 The |:undolist| command can be used to get an idea of which undo branches
343 exist. The |:undo| command now takes an argument to directly jump to a
344 specific position in this list. The |changenr()| function can be used to
345 obtain the change number.
347 There is no graphical display of the tree with changes, navigation can be
351 Extended Unicode support *new-more-unicode*
352 ------------------------
354 Previously only two combining characters were displayed. The limit is now
355 raised to 6. This can be set with the 'maxcombine' option. The default is
358 |ga| now shows all combining characters, not just the first two.
360 Previously only 16 bit Unicode characters were supported for displaying. Now
361 the full 32 bit character set can be used. Unless manually disabled at
362 compile time to save a bit of memory.
364 For pattern matching it is now possible to search for individual composing
365 characters. |patterns-composing|
367 The |8g8| command searches for an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence.
370 More highlighting *new-more-highlighting*
373 Highlighting matching parens:
375 When moving the cursor through the text and it is on a paren, then the
376 matching paren can be highlighted. This uses the new |CursorMoved|
379 This means some commands are executed every time you move the cursor. If this
380 slows you down too much switch it off with: >
383 See |matchparen| for more information.
385 The plugin uses the |:match| command. It now supports three match patterns.
386 The plugin uses the third one. The first one is for the user and the second
387 one can be used by another plugin.
389 Highlighting the cursor line and column:
391 The 'cursorline' and 'cursorcolumn' options have been added. These highlight
392 the screen line and screen column of the cursor. This makes the cursor
393 position easier to spot. 'cursorcolumn' is also useful to align text. This
394 may make screen updating quite slow. The CursorColumn and CursorLine
395 highlight groups allow changing the colors used. |hl-CursorColumn|
398 The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about
399 220 to over 30000. This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined
400 with syntax highlighting attributes. This is also used for syntax
401 highlighting, marking the Visual area, CursorColumn, etc.
404 Translated manual pages *new-manpage-trans*
405 -----------------------
407 The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in
408 several other languages.
410 French - translated by David Blanchet
411 Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo
412 Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin
413 Polish - translated by Mikolaj Machowski
415 The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/,
416 .../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/. There appears to be no
417 standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file
418 is used there as a best guess.
419 Other languages are installed in similar places.
420 The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured
421 with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will
425 Internal grep *new-vimgrep*
428 The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files.
429 This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used. Besides
430 better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line
431 patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files.
434 If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the
435 |getqflist()| function.
437 To grep files in various directories the "**" pattern can be used. It expands
438 into an arbitrary depth of directories. "**" can be used in all places where
439 file names are expanded, thus also with |:next| and |:args|.
442 Scroll back in messages *new-scroll-back*
443 -----------------------
445 When displaying messages, at the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, The
446 'k', 'u', 'g' and 'b' keys can be used to scroll back to previous messages.
447 This is especially useful for commands such as ":syntax", ":autocommand" and
448 ":highlight". This is implemented in a generic way thus it works for all
449 commands and highlighting is kept. Only works when the 'more' option is set.
450 Previously it only partly worked for ":clist".
452 The |g<| command can be used to see the last page of messages after you have
453 hit <Enter> at the |hit-enter-prompt|. Then you can scroll further back.
456 Cursor past end of the line *new-onemore*
457 ---------------------------
459 When the 'virtualedit' option contains "onemore" the cursor can move just past
460 the end of the line. As if it's on top of the line break.
462 This makes some commands more consistent. Previously the cursor was always
463 past the end of the line if the line was empty. But it is far from Vi
464 compatible. It may also break some plugins or Vim scripts. Use with care!
466 The patch was provided by Mattias Flodin.
469 POSIX compatibility *new-posix*
472 The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility. A number of
473 problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible. Some of them
474 conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior. The $VIM_POSIX environment
475 variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility. See |posix|.
477 Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibility:
478 - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to
480 - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added
481 the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--|
482 - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the
483 '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&|
484 - The 'window' option is partly implemented. It specifies how much CTRL-F and
485 CTRL-B scroll when there is one window. The "-w {number}" argument is now
486 accepted. "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a
488 - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}.
489 - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in
491 - Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number".
492 - Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified.
493 - In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line
494 above or below the new lines.
495 - Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command.
496 - When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the
497 inserted lines from the command. Can use backslash-NL to separate lines.
498 - Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each
499 matched line. Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line.
500 - The |:open| command has been partially implemented. It stops Ex mode, but
501 redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do.
502 - Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external
503 command. Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe").
504 - In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed.
505 - The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before.
506 - The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'.
507 - Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert.
508 - Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line.
509 - Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and
510 CTRL-T cannot be handled then.
511 - In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines. "%" prints all lines.
512 - In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started.
513 - Implemented the 'prompt' option.
516 Debugger support *new-debug-support*
519 The 'balloonexpr' option has been added. This is a generic way to implement
520 balloon functionality. You can use it to show info for the word under the
524 Remote file explorer *new-netrw-explore*
527 The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used.
528 Deleting and renaming files is possible.
530 To avoid duplicating a lot of code, the previous file explorer plugin has been
531 integrated in the netrw plugin. This means browsing local and remote files
534 ":browse edit" and ":browse split" use the netrw plugin when it's available
535 and a GUI dialog is not possible.
537 The netrw plugin is maintained by Charles Campbell.
540 Define an operator *new-define-operator*
543 Previously it was not possible to define your own operator; a command that is
544 followed by a {motion}. Vim 7 introduces the 'operatorfunc' option and the
545 |g@| operator. This makes it possible to define a mapping that works like an
546 operator. The actual work is then done by a function, which is invoked
547 through the |g@| operator.
549 See |:map-operator| for the explanation and an example.
552 Mapping to an expression *new-map-expression*
553 ------------------------
555 The {rhs} argument of a mapping can be an expression. That means the
556 resulting characters can depend on the context. Example: >
557 :inoremap <expr> . InsertDot()
558 Here the dot will be mapped to whatever InsertDot() returns.
560 This also works for abbreviations. See |:map-<expr>| for the details.
563 Visual and Select mode mappings *new-map-select*
564 -------------------------------
566 Previously Visual mode mappings applied both to Visual and Select mode. With
567 a trick to have the mappings work in Select mode like they would in Visual
570 Commands have been added to define mappings for Visual and Select mode
571 separately: |:xmap| and |:smap|. With the associated "noremap" and "unmap"
574 The same is done for menus: |:xmenu|, |:smenu|, etc.
577 Location list *new-location-list*
580 The support for a per-window quickfix list (location list) is added. The
581 location list can be displayed in a location window (similar to the quickfix
582 window). You can open more than one location list window. A set of commands
583 similar to the quickfix commands are added to browse the location list.
584 (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

1167 New message translations: ~
1169 The Ukrainian messages are now also available in cp1251.
1170 Vietnamese message translations and menu. (Phan Vinh Thinh)
1175 The |:read| command has the |++edit| argument. This means it will use the
1176 detected 'fileformat', 'fileencoding' and other options for the buffer. This
1177 also fixes the problem that editing a compressed file didn't set these
1180 The Netbeans interface was updated for Sun Studio 10. The protocol number
1181 goes from 2.2 to 2.3. (Gordon Prieur)
1183 Mac: When starting up Vim will load the $VIMRUNTIME/macmap.vim script to
1184 define default command-key mappings. (mostly by Benji Fisher)
1186 Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and
1187 character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns)
1188 Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using
1191 Mac: GUI font selector. (Peter Cucka)
1193 Mac: support for multi-byte characters. (Da Woon Jung)
1194 This doesn't always work properly. If you see text drawing problems try
1195 switching the 'macatsui' option off.
1197 Mac: Support the xterm mouse in the non-GUI version.
1199 Mac: better integration with Xcode. Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc
1200 event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a
1201 file. Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung)
1203 Mac: When started from Finder change directory to the file being edited or the
1204 user home directory.
1206 Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode.
1207 To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block. No default values,
1208 they are not supported by termcap/terminfo.
1210 GUI font selector for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki)
1212 Nicer toolbar buttons for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki)
1214 Mnemonics for the Motif find/replace dialog. (Marcin Dalecki)
1216 Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki. Draw label
1217 contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and
1218 a bit less dependent on the X11 font management.
1220 Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer. This means they will also work
1221 when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name. See
1222 |autocmd-buflocal|. (Yakov Lerner)
1224 For xterm most combinations of modifiers with function keys are recognized.
1225 |xterm-modifier-keys|
1227 When 'verbose' is set the output of ":highlight" will show where a highlight
1229 When 'verbose' is set the output of the ":map", ":abbreviate", ":command",
1230 ":function" and ":autocmd" commands will show where it was last defined.
1231 (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
1233 ":function /pattern" lists functions matching the pattern.
1235 "1gd" can be used like "gd" but ignores matches in a {} block that ends before
1236 the cursor position. Likewise for "1gD" and "gD".
1238 'scrolljump' can be set to a negative number to scroll a percentage of the
1241 The |v:scrollstart| variable has been added to help finding the location in
1242 your script that causes the hit-enter prompt.
1244 To make it possible to handle the situation that a file is being edited that
1245 is already being edited by another Vim instance, the |SwapExists| event has
1246 been added. The |v:swapname|, |v:swapchoice| and |v:swapcommand| variables
1247 can be used, for example to use the |client-server| functionality to bring the
1248 other Vim to the foreground.
1249 When starting Vim with a "-t tag" argument, there is an existing swapfile and
1250 the user selects "quit" or "abort" then exit Vim.
1252 Undo now also restores the '< and '> marks. "gv" selects the same area as
1253 before the change and undo.
1255 When editing a search pattern for a "/" or "?" command and 'incsearch' is set
1256 CTRL-L can be used to add a character from the current match. CTRL-R CTRL-W
1257 will add a word, but exclude the part of the word that was already typed.
1259 Ruby interface: add line number methods. (Ryan Paul)
1261 The $MYVIMRC environment variable is set to the first found vimrc file.
1262 The $MYGVIMRC environment variable is set to the first found gvimrc file.
1264 ==============================================================================
1265 IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-7*
1267 ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".
1269 Moved the help for printing to a separate help file. It's quite a lot now.
1271 When doing completion for ":!cmd", ":r !cmd" or ":w !cmd" executable files are
1272 found in $PATH instead of looking for ordinary files in the current directory.
1274 When ":silent" is used and a backwards range is given for an Ex command the
1275 range is swapped automatically instead of asking if that is OK.
1277 The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an
1278 iterative mechanism. This avoids out-of-stack errors. State is stored in
1279 allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected. Allows
1280 matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that.
1282 Previously some options were always evaluated in the |sandbox|. Now that only
1283 happens when the option was set from a modeline or in secure mode. Applies to
1284 'balloonexpr', 'foldexpr', 'foldtext' and 'includeexpr'. (Sumner Hayes)
1286 Some commands and expressions could have nasty side effects, such as using
1287 CTRL-R = while editing a search pattern and the expression invokes a function
1288 that jumps to another window. The |textlock| has been added to prevent this
1291 ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
1292 breakpoint at the cursor.
1294 It is now possible to define a function with: >
1295 :exe "func Test()\n ...\n endfunc"
1297 The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and text was added to explain
1298 a few more important commands. Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann.
1300 Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display
1301 it. (Johannes Zellner)
1303 Mac and Cygwin: When editing an existing file make the file name the same case
1304 of the edited file. Thus when typing ":e os_UNIX.c" the file name becomes
1307 Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet)
1309 Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option. This is for a buffer that
1310 does not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd
1313 For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev)
1314 - square brackets are recognized properly
1315 - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals
1316 - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized
1318 Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher)
1320 winnr() takes an optional "$" or "#" argument. (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan
1323 Added 's' flag to search(): set ' mark if cursor moved. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
1324 Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull)
1325 Added 'c' flag to search(): accept match at the cursor.
1326 Added 'e' flag to search(): move to end of the match. (Benji Fisher)
1327 Added 'p' flag to search(): return number of sub-pattern. (Benji Fisher)
1328 These also apply to searchpos(), searchpair() and searchpairpos().
1330 The search() and searchpair() functions have an extra argument to specify
1331 where to stop searching. Speeds up searches that should not continue too far.
1333 When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't
1334 delete the raw text. Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not
1335 actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott)
1337 When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax.
1340 Support setting 'filetype' and 'syntax' to "aaa.bbb" for "aaa" plus "bbb"
1343 The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly.
1345 VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag
1346 upper case. Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes.
1349 For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number
1352 For recognizing the file type: When a file looks like a shell script, check
1353 for an "exec" command that starts the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios
1356 Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that
1357 digraphs still work when iconv is not available.
1359 When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that
1360 buffer is wiped out. Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer
1363 Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it.
1364 (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro)
1366 Win32: Vim was not aware of hard links on NTFS file systems. These are
1367 detected now for when 'backupcopy' is "auto". Also fixed a bogus "file has
1368 been changed since reading it" error for links.
1370 When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the
1371 second line of the fold. Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first
1374 When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there
1375 mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the
1376 edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file). Added a flag to
1377 the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file. The
1378 used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much
1381 Unix: When editing a file through a symlink the swap file would use the name
1382 of the symlink. Now use the name of the actual file, so that editing the same
1383 file twice is detected. (suggestions by Stefano Zacchiroli and James Vega)
1385 Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'. When setting 'encoding'
1386 in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console,
1387 "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8. Also allows Vims
1388 with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages.
1390 Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
1391 incremented/decremented each time.
1393 When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file.
1395 Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete.
1397 ":redir @*>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard. Better check for
1398 invalid characters after the register name. |:redir|
1400 ":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable.
1401 (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |:redir|
1403 ":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
1405 The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file. Verbose
1406 messages are not displayed then. The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to
1407 log startup messages.
1409 ":let g:" lists global variables.
1410 ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables.
1411 ":let w:" lists window-local variables.
1412 ":let v:" lists Vim variables.
1414 The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start
1415 searching. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
1417 The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression
1418 for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it.
1420 The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines. When
1421 the line number is just below the last line the line is appended.
1423 g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of
1426 Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register. Skip
1427 ":" between range and command name. (Peter winters)
1429 CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default. Previously it was
1432 When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep
1433 will result in a message with the source of the error.
1435 When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that
1436 ":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c".
1438 To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has
1439 been added to |:substitute|. See |count-items|.
1441 In a |:substitute| command the \u, \U, \l and \L items now also work for
1442 multi-byte characters.
1444 The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for
1445 'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh) Also for "cygwin" and "putty".
1447 The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason|
1448 variable that specifies what triggered the event. |v:fcs_choice| can be used
1449 to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do.
1451 Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys. Added the
1452 possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character
1453 and the * stands for the modifier code.
1454 Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize
1455 the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible
1458 getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified
1461 Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
1462 Added the "%>" item to 'errorformat'.
1464 For 'errorformat' it was not possible to have a file name that contains the
1465 character that follows after "%f". For example, in "%f:%l:%m" the file name
1466 could not contain ":". Now include the first ":" where the rest of the
1467 pattern matches. In the example a ":" not followed by a line number is
1468 included in the file name. (suggested by Emanuele Giaquinta)
1470 GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available. Mix from patches by
1471 Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb.
1473 Added ":scriptnames" to bugreport.vim, so that we can see what plugins were
1476 Win32: If the user changes the setting for the number of lines a scroll wheel
1477 click scrolls it is now used immediately. Previously Vim would need to be
1480 When using @= in an expression the value is expression @= contains. ":let @=
1481 = value" can be used to set the register contents.
1483 A ! can be added to ":popup" to have the popup menu appear at the mouse
1484 pointer position instead of the text cursor.
1486 The table with encodings has been expanded with many MS-Windows codepages,
1487 such as cp1250 and cp737, so that these can also be used on Unix without
1489 When an encoding name starts with "microsoft-cp" ignore the "microsoft-" part.
1491 Added the "customlist" completion argument to a user-defined command. The
1492 user-defined completion function should return the completion candidates as a
1493 Vim List and the returned results are not filtered by Vim. (Yegappan
1496 Win32: Balloons can have multiple lines if common controls supports it.
1499 For command-line completion the matches for various types of arguments are now
1500 sorted: user commands, variables, syntax names, etc.
1502 When no locale is set, thus using the "C" locale, Vim will work with latin1
1503 characters, using its own isupper()/toupper()/etc. functions.
1505 When using an rxvt terminal emulator guess the value of 'background' using the
1506 COLORFGBG environment variable. (Ciaran McCreesh)
1508 Also support t_SI and t_EI on Unix with normal features. (Ciaran McCreesh)
1510 When 'foldcolumn' is one then put as much info in it as possible. This allows
1511 closing a fold with the mouse by clicking on the '-'.
1513 input() takes an optional completion argument to specify the type of
1514 completion supported for the input. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
1516 "dp" works with more than two buffers in diff mode if there is only one where
1517 'modifiable' is set.
1519 The 'diffopt' option has three new values: "horizontal", "vertical" and
1522 When the 'include' option contains \zs the file name found is what is being
1523 matched from \zs to the end or \ze. Useful to pass more to 'includeexpr'.
1525 Loading plugins on startup now supports subdirectories in the plugin
1526 directory. |load-plugins|
1528 In the foldcolumn always show the '+' for a closed fold, so that it can be
1529 opened easily. It may overwrite another character, esp. if 'foldcolumn' is 1.
1531 It is now possible to get the W10 message again by setting 'readonly'. Useful
1532 in the FileChangedRO autocommand when checking out the file fails.
1534 Unix: When open() returns EFBIG give an appropriate message.
1536 ":mksession" sets the SessionLoad variable to notify plugins. A modeline is
1537 added to the session file to set 'filetype' to "vim".
1539 In the ATTENTION prompt put the "Delete it" choice before "Quit" to make it
1540 more logical. (Robert Webb)
1542 When appending to a file while the buffer has no name the name of the appended
1543 file would be used for the current buffer. But the buffer contents is
1544 actually different from the file content. Don't set the file name, unless the
1545 'P' flag is present in 'cpoptions'.
1547 When starting to edit a new file and the directory for the file doesn't exist
1548 then Vim will report "[New DIRECTORY]" instead of "[New File] to give the user
1549 a hint that something might be wrong.
1551 Win32: Preserve the hidden attribute of the viminfo file.
1553 In Insert mode CTRL-A didn't keep the last inserted text when using CTRL-O and
1554 then a cursor key. Now keep the previously inserted text if nothing is
1555 inserted after the CTRL-O. Allows using CTRL-O commands to move the cursor
1556 without losing the last inserted text.
1558 The exists() function now supports checking for autocmd group definition
1559 and for supported autocommand events. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
1561 Allow using ":global" in the sandbox, it doesn't do anything harmful by
1564 ":saveas asdf.c" will set 'filetype' to c when it's empty. Also for ":w
1565 asdf.c" when it sets the filename for the buffer.
1567 Insert mode completion for whole lines now also searches unloaded buffers.
1569 The colortest.vim script can now be invoked directly with ":source" or
1570 ":runtime syntax/colortest.vim".
1572 The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can
1573 have a different value. (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan)
1575 The 'statusline' option and other options that support the same format can now
1576 use these new features:
1577 - When it starts with "%!" the value is first evaluated as an expression
1578 before parsing the value.
1579 - "%#HLname#" can be used to start highlighting with HLname.
1581 When 'statusline' is set to something that causes an error message then it is
1582 made empty to avoid an endless redraw loop. Also for other options, such at
1583 'tabline' and 'titlestring'. ":verbose set statusline" will mention that it
1584 was set in an error handler.
1586 When there are several matching tags, the ":tag <name>" and CTRL-] commands
1587 jump to the [count] matching tag. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
1589 Win32: In the batch files generated by the install program, use $VIMRUNTIME or
1590 $VIM if it's set. Example provided by Mathias Michaelis.
1591 Also create a vimtutor.bat batch file.
1593 The 'balloonexpr' option is now |global-local|.
1595 The system() function now runs in cooked mode, thus can be interrupted by
1598 ==============================================================================
1599 COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-7*
1601 Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI. They were not maintained and
1602 probably didn't work. If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
1603 and merge it back in.
1605 When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the
1606 following tests are still executed. This helps when running out of memory.
1608 When compiling with EXITFREE defined and the ccmalloc library it is possible
1609 to detect memory leaks. Some memory will always reported as leaked, such as
1610 allocated by X11 library functions and the memory allocated in alloc_cmdbuff()
1611 to store the ":quit" command.
1613 Moved the code for printing to src/hardcopy.c.
1615 Moved some code from main() to separate functions to make it easier to see
1616 what is being done. Using a structure to avoid a lot of arguments to the
1619 Moved unix_expandpath() to misc1.c, so that it can also be used by os_mac.c
1620 without copying the code.
1624 "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to its
1625 final destination. (Raf)
1627 Put the runtime directory not directly in Vim.app but in
1628 Vim.app/Contents/Resources/vim, so that it's according to Mac specs.
1630 Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and still
1631 being able to use the MacRoman conversion. Added the os_mac_conv.c file.
1633 When running "make install" the runtime files are installed as for Unix.
1634 Avoids that too many files are copied. When running "make" a link to the
1635 runtime files is created to avoid a recursive copy that takes much time.
1637 Configure will attempt to build Vim for both Intel and PowerPC. The
1638 --with-mac-arch configure argument can change it.
1642 The Make_mvc.mak file was adjusted to work with the latest MS compilers,
1643 including the free version of Visual Studio 2005. (George Reilly)
1645 INSTALLpc.txt was updated for the recent changes. (George Reilly)
1647 The distributed executable is now produced with the free Visual C++ Toolkit
1648 2003 and other free SDK chunks. msvcsetup.bat was added to support this.
1650 Also generate the .pdb file that can be used to generate a useful crash report
1651 on MS-Windows. (George Reilly)
1653 ==============================================================================
1654 BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-7*
1656 When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
1657 instead of "copy". When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
1658 work. Use "LPT1" then.
1660 The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
1661 size. Use a default size of 10.
1663 This example in the documentation didn't work:
1665 Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.
1667 When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.
1669 "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.
1671 Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
1672 when it doesn't support MDI.
1674 Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.
1676 "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
1679 Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program. Use
1680 SearchPath() instead. For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
1681 for doesn't have an extension.
1683 When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
1684 may move it to a different column. Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
1685 cursor and not putting it back where it was.
1687 When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
1688 not deleted (like when pressing ESC). The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
1689 to make it work the old way.
1691 When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
1692 filetype plugin. Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.
1694 After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.
1696 Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
1697 fields. (Walter Briscoe)
1699 On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined. Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De
1702 Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more. Append a
1703 CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams)
1705 When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was
1706 ignored. ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5.
1708 Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control
1709 characters. Also remove "'<,'>" when in Visual mode to avoid that it appears
1712 When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment
1713 variables like for a regular command with a file argument.
1715 'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line
1716 is indented too much.
1718 When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and
1719 alignment may go wrong. 'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned
1722 Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the
1723 active codepage. Convert to utf-8. Also for $HOME.
1725 The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw". Now use
1726 "cn" or "tw" as intended.
1728 When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break
1729 after the last line while it's not there.
1731 Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work. Noticed when
1732 resizing the GUI shell upon startup.
1734 Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work. Allow appending a
1735 string with a trailing newline. The newline is ignored.
1737 When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would
1738 contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1". Also trigger the BufFilePre
1739 and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name.
1741 strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh)
1743 GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives
1744 just before it is invoked
1746 VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file. Expansion of
1747 environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
1749 UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character
1750 from the first character of the word.
1752 When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was
1753 detected. Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer().
1755 When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index,
1756 but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead.
1758 When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument
1759 list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted. Allow
1762 When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not
1763 used. Now window-local options in the modeline are set. Buffer-local options
1764 and global options remain unmodified.
1766 Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the
1767 command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly. Recode the
1768 file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line.
1770 Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the
1771 default value of 'isprint' was wrong.
1773 When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an
1774 xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last
1775 line. Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE.
1777 Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work.
1779 When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not
1780 going to be used like a command.
1782 GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a
1783 GTK error. Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed.
1785 GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango.
1787 Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command
1788 line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'. Both for the GUI and the
1791 Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because
1792 there is no codepage for latin9. Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2.
1794 When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header
1795 files from one and the library from the other. Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the
1796 directory for the library early in the link flags.
1798 With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was
1799 literal text. Now it works for any pattern.
1801 When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still
1802 cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction.
1804 When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead
1805 buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up.
1807 Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes
1808 problems for Terminal.app.
1810 When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or
1811 end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains"
1814 When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting
1815 has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come
1818 When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there
1819 was only one match. (Sergey Khorev)
1821 When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting
1822 "cancel", would still give an error message.
1824 The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal
1825 mode. Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible.
1827 Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some
1828 keyboards it's a ','. Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2).
1830 Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c
1832 In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is
1833 selected or not. Highlight the character after the line when the line break
1834 is included, e.g., after "v$o".
1836 GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu. Disable that with a
1837 GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas)
1839 After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text.
1841 When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits. While
1842 doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturb us, thus ignore it. (Scott
1843 Anderson) Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to
1844 handle. Added handle_signal().
1846 When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for
1847 white space. Was only done for a space, not for a Tab.
1849 When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a
1850 long time before reporting the problem. Added a configure check for tgetent()
1851 being found in a library.
1853 When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command
1854 may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text.
1856 Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding'
1857 is "utf-8". use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon)
1859 When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the
1860 original file instead of from the swapfile. When the file didn't exist, was
1861 empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could
1862 be wrong. Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use
1863 the values when recovering.
1865 ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file
1866 message for the next buffer. Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that.
1868 Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote. Do escape % and #
1869 when building the ":drop" command.
1871 A comment or | just after an expression-backtick argument was not recognized.
1872 E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment.
1874 "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")"
1875 does. Also breaks "das" on that dot.
1877 When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k"
1878 moved the cursor to another column.
1880 When 'commentstring' is '"%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double
1881 quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a closed
1884 In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line
1885 break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes".
1887 Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki)
1889 Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar
1890 (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki)
1892 When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was
1895 Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS.
1896 Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests.
1898 When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above
1899 the window. Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position.
1901 Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>".
1903 When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode
1904 (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert
1905 mode. (Peter Winters)
1907 "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character.
1909 Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was
1910 not removed when editing a file. Now halve backslashes in save_patterns().
1911 Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'".
1913 When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported. Now a following "more
1914 lines" overwrites the message.
1916 Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output.
1918 When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs
1919 after that, didn't find a match. Could also get a hang or end up in the right
1920 column in the wrong line.
1922 When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak"
1925 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work. Clear
1926 'paste' when starting the GUI.
1928 A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL.
1930 When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode.
1931 Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a
1934 Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato)
1936 ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible.
1938 When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice
1939 in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed.
1941 When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty. Don't use an
1944 A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work. Now it writes an empty
1947 When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still
1948 moved to the start of the line. Now it remains where it is.
1950 When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put
1951 the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again. This
1954 Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior.
1955 Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted. The
1956 $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default.
1958 Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi. Added the '>'
1959 flag to 'cpoptions' for this.
1961 Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line. This is not Vi
1962 compatible. Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this.
1964 When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi
1965 leaves it at the position where "J" would put it. Added the 'q' flag in
1966 'cpoptions' for this.
1968 Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append".
1970 Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line. Now it's deleted to
1973 When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still
1974 request the xterm version. Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the
1975 shell and caused trouble there.
1977 When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would
1978 still be done (after an error message). Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan
1981 It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode. This is
1982 sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command.
1984 When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines
1985 from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim.
1987 When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak.
1989 Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell. Use
1990 unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka)
1992 ":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile".
1994 The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they
1995 are executed. Ambiguous command names were not completed properly.
1997 Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that
1998 indirectly invokes ":normal".
2000 Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment. Unset it
2001 before invoking "diff".
2003 Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo". Also for ":set
2004 &l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters)
2006 When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse
2007 locator it doesn't work. Now switch off the mouse before selecting another
2010 When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed
2011 characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event
2012 is received. Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a
2013 character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer.
2015 Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1*" to be used like
2016 ":1argadd *". Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit".
2018 Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US".
2020 Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make the appear as
2021 real dashes. (Pierr Habouzit)
2023 Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'. Now "gq"
2024 always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text.
2026 When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype
2027 detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still
2028 compressed. Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been
2029 decompressed. Required for patterns that end in a "*".
2031 Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor the be moved
2032 to the first line. That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`".
2033 Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line.
2035 "gg=G" while 'modifiable' is off was uninterruptible.
2037 When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash.
2038 Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte.
2040 In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor. Made "ins_at_eol" global
2041 and reset it in nv_home().
2043 Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`". Don't put quotes around
2044 spaces inside backticks.
2046 After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected. Now
2047 let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted.
2048 This should be the most useful thing to do.
2050 ":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect. Give
2051 an error message when the argument isn't recognized.
2053 In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in
2054 reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov)
2056 When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits. Now
2057 call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo)
2058 This breaks the thread stuff though, fixed by Ugo.
2060 GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right
2061 after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap) Added
2062 win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size.
2064 Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits. Now pass
2065 column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others. Limits
2066 mouse column to 10000.
2068 searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end. Check that
2069 we find the same position again and advance one character.
2071 When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting
2072 to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window.
2074 When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION
2075 prompt the argument index was advanced anyway.
2077 When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous
2078 substitute pattern. Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that.
2080 Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow. Also
2081 when using smsg(). Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size
2082 checks where invoking them
2084 ":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=". Wild menu for help tags didn't
2085 show backslashes. ":he :s\=" didn't work.
2087 When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded.
2089 GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or
2090 removing it the window size may change. GTK sends us resize events when we
2091 change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment.
2092 Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and
2093 'lines' to undo this.
2095 When using the GTK plug mechanism, resizing and focus was not working
2096 properly. (Neil Bird)
2098 After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with
2099 ":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands.
2101 When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N
2102 may cause the hit-enter prompt. Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented
2103 character. Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer
2104 so that mapping is done in the right mode.
2106 setbufvar() and setwinvar() did not give error messages.
2108 It was possible to set a variable with an illegal name, e.g. with setbufvar().
2109 It was possible to define a function with illegal name, e.t. ":func F{-1}()"
2111 CTRL-W F and "gf" didn't use the same method to get the file name.
2113 When reporting a conversion error the line number of the last error could be
2114 given. Now report the first encountered error.
2116 When using ":e ++enc=name file" and iconv() was used for conversion an error
2117 caused a fall-back to no conversion. Now replace a character with '?' and
2120 When opening a new buffer the local value of 'bomb' was not initialized from
2123 Win32: When using the "Edit with Vim" entry the file name was limited to about
2126 When using command line completion for ":e *foo" and the file "+foo" exists
2127 the resulting command ":e +foo" doesn't work. Now insert a backslash: ":e
2130 When the translation of "-- More --" was not 10 characters long the following
2131 message would be in the wrong position.
2133 At the more-prompt the last character in the last line wasn't drawn.
2135 When deleting non-existing text while 'virtualedit' is set the '[ and '] marks
2138 Win32: Could not use "**/" in 'path', it had to be "**\".
2140 The search pattern "\n" did not match at the end of the last line.
2142 Searching for a pattern backwards, starting on the NUL at the end of the line
2143 and 'encoding' is "utf-8" would match the pattern just before it incorrectly.
2144 Affected searchpair('/\*', '', '\*/').
2146 For the Find/Replace dialog it was possible that not finding the text resulted
2147 in an error message while redrawing, which cleared the syntax highlighting
2148 while it was being used, resulting in a crash. Now don't clear syntax
2149 highlighting, disable it with b_syn_error.
2151 Win32: Combining UTF-8 characters were drawn on the previous character.
2152 Could be noticed with a Thai font.
2154 Output of ":function" could leave some of the typed text behind. (Yegappan
2157 When the command line history has only a few lines the command line window
2158 would be opened with these lines above the first window line.
2160 When using a command line window for search strings ":qa" would result in
2161 searching for "qa" instead of quitting all windows.
2163 GUI: When scrolling with the scrollbar and there is a line that doesn't fit
2164 redrawing may fail. Make sure w_skipcol is valid before redrawing.
2166 Limit the values of 'columns' and 'lines' to avoid an overflow in Rows *
2167 Columns. Fixed bad effects when running out of memory (command line would be
2168 reversed, ":qa!" resulted in ":!aq").
2170 Motif: "gvim -iconic" opened the window anyway. (David Harrison)
2172 There is a tiny chance that a symlink gets created between checking for an
2173 existing file and creating a file. Use the O_NOFOLLOW for open() if it's
2176 In an empty line "ix<CTRL-O>0" moved the cursor to after the line instead of
2177 sticking to the first column.
2179 When using ":wq" and a BufWriteCmd autocmd uses inputsecret() the text was
2180 echoed anyway. Set terminal to raw mode in getcmdline().
2182 Unix: ":w a;b~c" caused an error in expanding wildcards.
2184 When appending to a file with ":w >>fname" in a buffer without a name, causing
2185 the buffer to use "fname", the modified flag was reset.
2187 When appending to the current file the "not edited" flag would be reset.
2188 ":w" would overwrite the file accidentally.
2190 Unix: When filtering text with an external command Vim would still read input,
2191 causing text typed for the command (e.g., a password) to be eaten and echoed.
2192 Don't read input when the terminal is in cooked mode.
2194 The Cygwin version of xxd used CR/LF line separators. (Corinna Vinschen)
2196 Unix: When filtering text through a shell command some resulting text may be
2197 dropped. Now after detecting that the child has exited try reading some more
2200 When inside input(), using "CTRL-R =" and the expression throws an exception
2201 the command line was not abandoned but it wasn't used either. Now abandon
2202 typing the command line.
2204 'delcombine' was also used in Visual and Select mode and for commands like
2205 "cl". That was illogical and has been disabled.
2207 When recording while a CursorHold autocommand was defined special keys would
2208 appear in the register. Now the CursorHold event is not triggered while
2211 Unix: the src/configure script used ${srcdir-.}, not all shells understand
2212 that. Use ${srcdir:-.} instead.
2214 When editing file "a" which is a symlink to file "b" that doesn't exist,
2215 writing file "a" to create "b" and then ":split b" resulted in two buffers on
2216 the same file with two different swapfile names. Now set the inode in the
2217 buffer when creating a new file.
2219 When 'esckeys' is not set don't send the xterm code to request the version
2220 string, because it may cause trouble in Insert mode.
2222 When evaluating an expression for CTRL-R = on the command line it was possible
2223 to call a function that opens a new window, resulting in errors for
2224 incremental search, and many other nasty things were possible. Now use the
2225 |textlock| to disallow changing the buffer or jumping to another window
2226 to protect from unexpected behavior. Same for CTRL-\ e.
2228 "d(" deleted the character under the cursor, while the documentation specified
2229 an exclusive motion. Vi also doesn't delete the character under the cursor.
2231 Shift-Insert in Insert mode could put the cursor before the last character
2232 when it just fits in the window. In coladvance() don't stop at the window
2233 edge when filling with spaces and when in Insert mode. In mswin.vim avoid
2234 getting a beep from the "l" command.
2236 Win32 GUI: When Alt-F4 is used to close the window and Cancel is selected in
2237 the dialog then Vim would insert <M-F4> in the text. Now it's ignored.
2239 When ":silent! {cmd}" caused the swap file dialog, which isn't displayed,
2240 there would still be a hit-enter prompt.
2242 Requesting the termresponse (|t_RV|) early may cause problems with "-c"
2243 arguments that invoke an external command or even "-c quit". Postpone it
2244 until after executing "-c" arguments.
2246 When typing in Insert mode so that a new line is started, using CTRL-G u to
2247 break undo and start a new change, then joining the lines with <BS> caused
2248 undo info to be missing. Now reset the insertion start point.
2250 Syntax HL: When a region start match has a matchgroup and an offset that
2251 happens to be after the end of the line then it continued in the next line and
2252 stopped at the region end match, making the region continue after that.
2253 Now check for the column being past the end of the line in syn_add_end_off().
2255 When changing a file, setting 'swapfile' off and then on again, making another
2256 change and killing Vim, then some blocks may be missing from the swapfile.
2257 When 'swapfile' is switched back on mark all blocks in the swapfile as dirty.
2258 Added mf_set_dirty().
2260 Expanding wildcards in a command like ":e aap;<>!" didn't work. Put
2261 backslashes before characters that are special to the shell. (Adri Verhoef)
2263 A CursorHold autocommand would cause a message to be cleared. Don't show the
2264 special key for the event for 'showcmd'.
2266 When expanding a file name for a shell command, as in "!cmd foo<Tab>" or ":r
2267 !cmd foo<Tab>" also escape characters that are special for the shell:
2270 When the name of the buffer was set by a ":r fname" command |cpo-f| no
2271 autocommands were triggered to notify about the change in the buffer list.
2273 In the quickfix buffer 'bufhidden' was set to "delete", which caused closing
2274 the quickfix window to leave an unlisted "No Name" buffer behind every time.
2276 Win32: when using two screens of different size, setting 'lines' to a large
2277 value didn't fill the whole screen. (SungHyun Nam)
2279 Win32 installer: The generated _vimrc contained an absolute path to diff.exe.
2280 After upgrading it becomes invalid. Now use $VIMRUNTIME instead.
2282 The command line was cleared to often when 'showmode' was set and ":silent
2283 normal vy" was used. Don't clear the command line unless the mode was
2284 actually displayed. Added the "mode_displayed" variable.
2286 The "load session" toolbar item could not handle a space or other special
2287 characters in v:this_session.
2289 ":set sta ts=8 sw=4 sts=2" deleted 4 spaces halfway a line instead of 2.
2291 In a multi-byte file the foldmarker could be recognized in the trail byte.
2294 Pasting with CTRL-V and menu didn't work properly when some commands are
2295 mapped. Use ":normal!" instead of ":normal". (Tony Apuzzo)
2297 Crashed when expanding a file name argument in backticks.
2299 In some situations the menu and scrollbar didn't work, when the value contains
2300 a CSI byte. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
2302 GTK GUI: When drawing the balloon focus changes and we might get a key release
2303 event that removed the balloon again. Ignore the key release event.
2305 'titleold' was included in ":mkexrc" and ":mksession" files.
2307 ":set background&" didn't use the same logic as was used when starting up.
2309 When "umask" is set such that nothing is writable then the viminfo file would
2310 be written without write permission. (Julian Bridle)
2312 Motif: In diff mode dragging one scrollbar didn't update the scrollbar of the
2313 other diff'ed window.
2315 When editing in an xterm with a different number of colors than expected the
2316 screen would be cleared and redrawn, causing the message about the edited file
2317 to be cleared. Now set "keep_msg" to redraw the last message.
2319 For a color terminal: When the Normal HL uses bold, possibly to make the color
2320 lighter, and another HL group specifies a color it might become light as well.
2321 Now reset bold if a HL group doesn't specify bold itself.
2323 When using 256 color xterm the color 255 would show up as color 0. Use a
2324 short instead of a char to store the color number.
2326 ml_get errors when searching for "\n\zs" in an empty file.
2328 When selecting a block and using "$" to select until the end of every line and
2329 not highlighting the character under the cursor the first character of the
2330 block could be unhighlighted.
2332 When counting words for the Visual block area and using "$" to select until
2333 the end of every line only up to the length of the last line was counted.
2335 "dip" in trailing empty lines left one empty line behind.
2337 The script ID was only remembered globally for each option. When a buffer- or
2338 window-local option was set the same "last set" location was changed for all
2339 buffers and windows. Now remember the script ID for each local option
2342 GUI: The "Replace All" button didn't handle backslashes in the replacement in
2343 the same way as "Replace". Escape backslashes so that they are taken
2346 When using Select mode from Insert mode and typing a key, causing lines to be
2347 deleted and a message displayed, delayed the effect of inserting the key.
2348 Now overwrite the message without delay.
2350 When 'whichwrap' includes "l" then "dl" and "yl" on a single letter line
2351 worked differently. Now recognize all operators when using "l" at the end of
2354 GTK GUI: when the font selector returned a font name with a comma in it then
2355 it would be handled like two font names. Now put a backslash before the
2358 MS-DOS, Win32: When 'encoding' defaults to "latin1" then the value for
2359 'iskeyword' was still for CPxxx. And when 'nocompatible' was set 'isprint'
2360 would also be the wrong value.
2362 When a command was defined not to take arguments and no '|' no warning message
2363 would be given for using a '|'. Also with ":loadkeymap".
2365 Motif: When using a fontset and 'encoding' is "utf-8" and sizeof(wchar_t) !=
2366 sizeof(XChar2b) then display was wrong. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
2368 ":all" always set the current window to the first window, even when it
2369 contains a buffer that is not in the argument list (can't be closed because it
2370 is modified). Now go to the window that has the first item of the argument
2373 GUI: To avoid left-over pixels from bold text all characters after a character
2374 with special attributes were redrawn. Now only do this for characters that
2375 actually are bold. Speeds up displaying considerably.
2377 When only highlighting changes and the text is scrolled at the same time
2378 everything is redraw instead of using a scroll and updating the changed text.
2379 E.g., when using ":match" to highlight a paren that the cursor landed on.
2380 Added SOME_VALID: Redraw the whole window but also try to scroll to minimize
2383 Win32: When using Korean IME making it active didn't work properly. (Moon,
2384 Yu-sung, 2005 March 21)
2386 Ruby interface: when inserting/deleting lines display wasn't updated. (Ryan
2389 --- fixes since Vim 7.0b ---
2391 Getting the GCC version in configure didn't work with Solaris sed. First
2392 strip any "darwin." and then get the version number.
2394 The "autoload" directory was missing from the self-installing executable for
2397 The MS-Windows install program would find "vimtutor.bat" in the install
2398 directory. After changing to "c:" also change to "\" to avoid looking in the
2401 To make the 16 bit DOS version compile exclude not used highlight
2402 initializations and build a tiny instead of small version.
2404 finddir() and findfile() accept a negative count and return a List then.
2406 The Python indent file contained a few debugging statements, removed.
2408 Expanding {} for a function name, resulting in a name starting with "s:" was
2409 not handled correctly.
2411 Spelling: renamed COMPOUNDMAX to COMPOUNDWORDMAX. Added several items to be
2412 able to handle the new Hungarian dictionary.
2414 Mac: Default to building for the current platform only, that is much faster
2415 than building a universal binary. Also, using Perl/Python/etc. only works for
2416 the current platform.
2418 The time on undo messages disappeared for someone. Using %T for strftime()
2419 apparently doesn't work everywhere. Use %H:%M:%S instead.
2421 Typing BS at the "z=" prompt removed the prompt.
2423 --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0c ---
2425 When jumping to another tab page the Vim window size was always set, even when
2426 nothing in the layout changed.
2428 Win32 GUI tab pages line wasn't always enabled. Do a proper check for the
2431 Win32: When switching between tab pages the Vim window was moved when part of
2432 it was outside of the screen. Now only do that in the direction of a size
2435 Win32: added menu to GUI tab pages line. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
2437 Mac: Added document icons. (Benji Fisher)
2439 Insert mode completion: Using Enter to accept the current match causes
2440 confusion. Use CTRL-Y instead. Also, use CTRL-E to go back to the typed
2443 GUI: When there are left and right scrollbars, ":tabedit" kept them instead of
2444 using the one that isn't needed.
2446 Using "gP" to replace al the text could leave the cursor below the last line,
2447 causing ml_get errors.
2449 When 'cursorline' is set don't use the highlighting when Visual mode is
2450 active, otherwise it's difficult to see the selected area.
2452 The matchparen plugin restricts the search to 100 lines, to avoid a long delay
2453 when there are closed folds.
2455 Sometimes using CTRL-X s to list spelling suggestions used text from another
2458 Win32: Set the default for 'isprint' back to the wrong default "@,~-255",
2459 because many people use Windows-1252 while 'encoding' is "latin1".
2461 GTK: Added a workaround for gvim crashing when used over an untrusted ssh
2462 link, caused by GTK doing something nasty. (Ed Catmur)
2464 Win32: The font used for the tab page labels is too big. Use the system menu
2465 font. (George Reilly)
2467 Win32: Adjusting the window position and size to keep it on the screen didn't
2468 work properly when the taskbar is on the left or top of the screen.
2470 The installman.sh and installml.sh scripts use ${10}, that didn't work with
2471 old shells. And use "test -f" instead of "test -e".
2473 Win32: When 'encoding' was set in the vimrc then a directory argument for diff
2476 GUI: at the inputlist() prompt the cursorshape was adjusted as if the windows
2477 were still at their old position.
2479 The parenmatch plugin didn't remember the highlighting per window.
2481 Using ":bd" for a buffer that's the current window in another tab page caused
2484 For a new tab page the 'scroll' option wasn't set to a good default.
2486 Using an end offset for a search "/pat/e" didn't work properly for multi-byte
2487 text. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
2489 ":s/\n/,/" doubled the text when used on the last line.
2491 When "search" is in 'foldopen' "[s" and "]s" now open folds.
2493 When using a numbered function "dict" can be omitted, but "self" didn't work
2494 then. Always add FC_DICT to the function flags when it's part of a
2497 When "--remote-tab" executes locally it left an empty tab page.
2499 "gvim -u NONE", ":set cursorcolumn", "C" in the second line didn't update
2500 text. Do update further lines even though the "$" is displayed.
2502 VMS: Support GTK better, also enable +clientserver. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
2504 When highlighting of statusline or tabline is changed there was no redraw to
2507 Mac: Added "CFBundleIdentifier" to infplist.xml.
2509 Added tabpage-local variables t:var.
2511 Win32: Added double-click in tab pages line creates new tab. (Yegappan
2514 Motif: Added GUI tab pages line. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
2516 Fixed crash when 'lines' was set to 1000 in a modeline.
2518 When init_spellfile() finds a writable directory in 'runtimepath' but it
2519 doesn't contain a "spell" directory, create one.
2521 Win32: executable() also finds "xxd" in the directory where Vim was started,
2522 but "!xxd" doesn't work. Append the Vim starting directory to $PATH.
2524 The tab page labels are shortened, directory names are reduced to a single
2525 letter by default. Added the pathshorten() function to allow a user to do the
2528 ":saveas" now resets 'readonly' if the file was successfully written.
2530 Set $MYVIMRC file to the first found .vimrc file.
2531 Set $MYGVIMRC file to the first found .gvimrc file.
2532 Added menu item "Startup Settings" that edits the $MYVIMRC file
2536 Error message E745 appeared twice. Renamed one to E786.
2538 Fixed crash when using "au BufRead * Sexplore" and doing ":help". Was wiping
2539 out a buffer that's still in a window.
2541 ":hardcopy" resulted in an error message when 'encoding' is "utf-8" and
2542 'printencoding' is empty. Now it assumes latin1. (Mike Williams)
2544 The check for the toolbar feature for Motif, depending on certain included
2545 files, wasn't detailed enough, causing building to fail in gui_xmebw.c.
2547 Using CTRL-E in Insert mode completion after CTRL-P inserted the first match
2548 instead of the original text.
2550 When displaying a UTF-8 character with a zero lower byte Vim might think the
2551 previous character is double-wide.
2553 The "nbsp" item of 'listchars' didn't work when 'encoding' was utf-8.
2555 Motif: when Xm/xpm.h is missing gui_xmebw.c would not compile.
2556 HAVE_XM_UNHIGHLIGHTT_H was missing a T.
2558 Mac: Moved the .icns files into src/os_mac_rsrc, so that they can all be
2559 copied at once. Adjusted the Info.plist file for three icons.
2561 When Visual mode is active while switching to another tabpage could get ml_get
2564 When 'list' is set, 'nowrap' the $ in the first column caused 'cursorcolumn'
2565 to move to the right.
2567 When a line wraps, 'cursorcolumn' was never displayed past the end of the
2570 'autochdir' was only available when compiled with NetBeans and GUI. Now it's
2571 a separate feature, also available in the "big" version.
2573 Added CTRL-W gf: open file under cursor in new tab page.
2575 When using the menu in the tab pages line, "New Tab" opens the new tab before
2576 where the click was. Beyond the labels the new tab appears at the end instead
2577 of after the current tab page.
2579 Inside a mapping with an expression getchar() could not be used.
2581 When vgetc is used recursively vgetc_busy protects it from being used
2582 recursively. But after a ":normal" command the protection was reset.
2584 ":s/a/b/n" didn't work when 'modifiable' was off.
2586 When $VIMRUNTIME includes a multi-byte character then rgb.txt could not be
2587 found. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
2589 ":mkspell" didn't work correctly for non-ASCII affix flags when conversion is
2590 needed on the spell file.
2592 glob('/dir/\$ABC/*') didn't work.
2594 When using several tab pages and changing 'cmdheight' the display could become
2595 messed up. Now store the value of 'cmdheight' separately for each tab page.
2597 The user of the Enter key while the popup menu is visible was still confusing.
2598 Now use Enter to select the match after using a cursor key.
2600 Added "usetab" to 'switchbuf'.
2603 --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0d ---
2605 Added CTRL-W T: move a window to a new tab page.
2607 Using CTRL-X s in Insert mode to complete spelling suggestions and using BS
2608 deleted characters before the bad word.
2610 A few small fixes for the VMS makefile. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
2612 With a window of 91 lines 45 cols, ":vsp" scrolled the window. Copy w_wrow
2613 when splitting a window and skip setting the height when it's already at the
2616 Using <silent> in a mapping with a shell command and the GUI caused redraw
2617 to use wrong attributes.
2619 Win32: Using MSVC 4.1 for install.exe resulted in the start menu items to be
2620 created in the administrator directory instead of "All Users". Define the
2621 CSIDL_ items if they are missing.
2623 Motif: The GUI tabline did not use the space above the right scrollbar. Work
2624 around a bug in the Motif library. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
2626 The extra files for XML Omni completion are now also installed.
2629 GTK GUI: when 'm' is missing from 'guioptions' during startup and pressing
2630 <F10> GTK produced error messages. Now do create the menu but disable it just
2631 after the first gui_mch_update().
2633 ":mkspell" doesn't work well with the Hungarian dictionary from the Hunspell
2634 project. Back to the Myspell dictionary.
2636 In help files hide the | used around tags.
2638 Renamed pycomplete to pythoncomplete.
2640 Added "tabpages" to 'sessionoptions'.
2642 When 'guitablabel' is set the effect wasn't visible right away.
2644 Fixed a few 'cindent' errors.
2646 When completing menu names, e.g., after ":emenu", don't sort the entries but
2647 keep them in the original order.
2649 Fixed a crash when editing a directory in diff mode. Don't trigger
2650 autocommands when executing the diff command.
2652 Getting a keystroke could get stuck if 'encoding' is a multi-byte encoding and
2653 typing a special key.
2655 When 'foldignore' is set the folds were not updated right away.
2657 When a list is indexed with [a : b] and b was greater than the length an error
2658 message was given. Now silently truncate the result.
2660 When using BS during Insert mode completion go back to the original text, so
2661 that CTRL-N selects the first matching entry.
2663 Added the 'M' flag to 'cinoptions'.
2665 Win32: Make the "gvim --help" window appear in the middle of the screen
2666 instead of at an arbitrary position. (Randall W. Morris)
2668 Added gettabwinvar() and settabwinvar().
2670 Command line completion: pressing <Tab> after ":e /usr/*" expands the whole
2671 tree, because it becomes ":e /usr/**". Don't add a star if there already is
2674 Added grey10 to grey90 to all GUIs, so that they can all be used for
2675 initializing highlighting. Use grey40 for CursorColumn and CursorLine when
2676 'background' is "dark".
2678 When reading a file and using iconv for conversion, an incomplete byte
2679 sequence at the end caused problems. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
2682 --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0e ---
2684 Default color for MatchParen when 'background' is "dark" is now DarkCyan.
2686 ":syn off" had to be used twice in a file that sets 'syntax' in a modeline.
2689 When using ":vsp" or ":sp" the available space wasn't used equally between
2690 windows. (Servatius Brandt)
2692 Expanding <cWORD> on a trailing blank resulted in the first word in the line
2693 if 'encoding' is a multi-byte encoding.
2695 Spell checking: spellbadword() didn't see a missing capital in the first word
2696 of a line. Popup menu now only suggest the capitalized word when appropriate.
2698 When using whole line completion CTRL-L moves through the matches but it
2699 didn't work when at the original text.
2701 When completion finds the longest match, don't go to the first match but stick
2702 at the original text, so that CTRL-N selects the first one.
2704 Recognize "zsh-beta" like "zsh" for setting the 'shellpipe' default. (James
2707 When using ":map <expr>" and the expression results in something with a
2708 special byte (NUL or CSI) then it didn't work properly. Now escape special
2711 The default Visual highlighting for a color xterm with 8 colors was a magenta
2712 background, which made magenta text disappear. Now use reverse in this
2715 After completing the longest match "." didn't insert the same text. Repeating
2716 also didn't work correctly for multi-byte text.
2718 When using Insert mode completion and BS the whole word that was completed
2719 would result in all possible matches. Now stop completion. Also fixes that
2720 for spell completion the previous word was deleted.
2722 GTK: When 'encoding' is "latin1" and using non-ASCII characters in a file name
2723 the tab page label was wrong and an error message would be given.
2725 The taglist() function could hang on a tags line with a non-ASCII character.
2727 Win32: When 'encoding' differs from the system encoding tab page labels with
2728 non-ASCII characters looked wrong. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
2730 Motif: building failed when Xm/Notebook.h doesn't exist. Added a configure
2731 check, disable GUI tabline when it's missing.
2733 Mac: When compiled without multi-byte feature the clipboard didn't work.
2735 It was possible to switch to another tab page when the cmdline window is open.
2737 Completion could hang when 'lines' is 6 and a preview window was opened.
2739 Added CTRL-W gF: open file under cursor in new tab page and jump to the line
2740 number following the file name.
2741 Added 'guitabtooltip'. Implemented for Win32 (Yegappan Lakshmanan).
2743 Added "throw" to 'debug' option: throw an exception for error messages even
2744 whey they would otherwise be ignored.
2746 When 'keymap' is set and a line contains an invalid entry could get a "No
2747 mapping found" warning instead of a proper error message.
2749 Motif: default to using XpmAttributes instead of XpmAttributes_21.
2751 A few more changes for 64 bit MS-Windows. (George Reilly)
2753 Got ml_get errors when doing "o" and selecting in other window where there are
2754 less line shorter than the cursor position in the other window. ins_mouse()
2755 was using position in wrong window.
2757 Win32 GUI: Crash when giving a lot of messages during startup. Allocate twice
2758 as much memory for the dialog template.
2760 Fixed a few leaks and wrong pointer use reported by coverity.
2762 When showing menus the mode character was sometimes wrong.
2764 Added feedkeys(). (Yakov Lerner)
2766 Made matchlist() always return all submatches.
2768 Moved triggering QuickFixCmdPost to before jumping to the first location.
2770 Mac: Added the 'macatsui' option as a temporary work around for text drawing
2773 Line completion on "/**" gave error messages when scanning an unloaded buffer.
2775 --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0f ---
2777 Win32: The height of the tab page labels is now adjusted to the font height.
2778 (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
2780 Win32: selecting the tab label was off by one. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
2782 Added tooltips for Motif and GTK tab page labels. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
2784 When 'encoding' is "utf-8" then ":help spell" would report an illegal byte and
2785 the file was not converted from latin1 to utf-8. Now retry with latin1 if
2786 reading the file as utf-8 results in illegal bytes.
2788 Escape the argument of feedkeys() before putting it in the typeahead buffer.
2789 (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
2791 Added the v:char variable for evaluating 'formatexpr'. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
2793 With 8 colors Search highlighting combined with Statement highlighted text
2794 made the text disappear.
2796 VMS: avoid warnings for redefining MAX and MIN. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
2798 When 'virtualedit' includes "onemore", stopping Visual selection would still
2799 move the cursor left.
2801 Prevent that using CTRL-R = in Insert mode can start Visual mode.
2803 Fixed a crash that occurred when in Insert mode with completion active and a
2804 mapping caused edit() to be called recursively.
2806 When using CTRL-O in Insert mode just after the last character while
2807 'virtualedit' is "all", then typing CR moved the last character to the next
2808 line. Call coladvance() before starting the new line.
2810 When using |:shell| ignore clicks on the tab page labels. Also when using the
2811 command line window.
2813 When 'eventignore' is "all" then adding more to ignoring some events, e.g.,
2814 for ":vimgrep", would actually trigger more events.
2816 Win32: When a running Vim uses server name GVIM1 then "gvim --remote fname"
2817 didn't find it. When looking for a server name that doesn't end in a digit
2818 and it is not found then use another server with that name and a number (just
2821 When using "double" in 'spellsuggest' when the language doesn't support sound
2822 folding resulted in too many suggestions.
2824 Win32: Dropping a shortcut on the Vim icon didn't edit the referred file like
2825 editing it in another way would. Use fname_expand() in buf_set_name() instead
2826 of simply make the file name a full path.
2828 Using feedkeys() could cause Vim to hang.
2830 When closing another tab page from the tabline menu in Insert mode the tabline
2831 was not updated right away.
2833 The syntax menu didn't work in compatible mode.
2835 After using ":tag id" twice with the same "id", ":ts" and then ":pop" a ":ts"
2836 reported no matching tag. Clear the cached tag name.
2838 In Insert mode the matchparen plugin highlighted the wrong paren when there is
2839 a string just next to a paren.
2841 GTK: After opening a new tab page the text was sometimes not drawn correctly.
2842 Flush output and catch up with events when updating the tab page labels.
2844 In the GUI, using CTRL-W q to close the last window of a tab page could cause
2847 GTK: The tab pages line menu was not converted from 'encoding' to utf-8.
2849 Typing a multi-byte character or a special key at the hit-enter prompt did not
2852 When 'virtualedit' contains "onemore" CTRL-O in Insert mode still moved the
2853 cursor left when it was after the end of the line, even though it's allowed to
2856 Added test for using tab pages.
2858 towupper() and towlower() were not used, because of checking for
2859 __STDC__ISO_10646__ instead of __STDC_ISO_10646__. (sertacyildiz)
2861 For ":map <expr>" forbid changing the text, jumping to another buffer and
2862 using ":normal" to avoid nasty side effects.
2864 --- fixes and changes since Vim 7.0g ---
2866 Compilation error on HP-UX, use of "dlerr" must be inside a #ifdef.
2869 Report +reltime feature in ":version" output.
2871 The tar and zip plugins detect failure to get the contents of the archive and
2872 edit the file as-is.
2874 When the result of 'guitablabel' is empty fall back to the default label.
2876 Fixed crash when using ":insert" in a while loop and missing "endwhile".
2878 "gt" and other commands could move to another window when |textlock| active
2879 and when the command line window was open.
2881 Spell checking a file with syntax highlighting and a bad word at the end of
2882 the line is ignored could make "]s" hang.
2884 Mac: inputdialog() didn't work when compiled with big features.
2886 Interrupting ":vimgrep" while it is busy loading a file left a modified and
2887 hidden buffer behind. Use enter_cleanup() and leave_cleanup() around
2890 When making 'keymap' empty the b:keymap_name variable wasn't deleted.
2892 Using CTRL-N that searches a long time, pressing space to interrupt the
2893 searching and accept the first match, the popup menu was still displayed
2896 When setting the Vim window height with -geometry the 'window' option could be
2897 at a value that makes CTRL-F behave differently.
2899 When opening a quickfix window in two tabs they used different buffers,
2900 causing redrawing problems later. Now use the same buffer for all quickfix
2901 windows. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
2903 When 'mousefocus' is set moving the mouse to the text tab pages line would
2904 move focus to the first window. Also, the mouse pointer would jump to the
2907 In a session file, when an empty buffer is wiped out, do this silently.
2909 When one window has the cursor on the last line and another window is resized
2910 to make that window smaller, the cursor line could go below the displayed
2911 lines. In win_new_height() subtract one from the available space.
2912 Also avoid that using "~" lines makes the window scroll down.
2914 Mac: When sourcing the "macmap.vim" script and then finding a .vimrc file the
2915 'cpo' option isn't set properly, because it was already set and restored.
2916 Added the <special> argument to ":map", so that 'cpo' doesn't need to be
2917 changed to be able to use <> notation. Also do this for ":menu" for
2920 When using "/encoding=abc" in a spell word list, only "bc" was used.
2922 When 'encoding' and 'printencoding' were both "utf-8" then ":hardcopy" didn't
2923 work. (Mike Williams)
2925 Mac: When building with "--disable-gui" the install directory would still be
2926 "/Applications" and Vim.app would be installed. Now install in /usr/local as
2927 usual for a console application.
2929 GUI: when doing completion and there is one match and still searching for
2930 another, the cursor was displayed at the end of the line instead of after the
2931 match. Now show the cursor after the match while still searching for matches.
2933 GUI: The mouse shape changed on the statusline even when 'mouse' was empty and
2934 they can't be dragged..
2936 GTK2: Selecting a button in the confirm() dialog with Tab or cursor keys and
2937 hitting Enter didn't select that button. Removed GTK 1 specific code. (Neil
2940 When evaluating 'balloonexpr' takes a long time it could be called
2941 recursively, which could cause a crash.
2943 exists() could not be used to detect whether ":2match" is supported. Added a
2944 check for it specifically.
2946 GTK1: Tab page labels didn't work. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
2948 Insert mode completion: When finding matches use 'ignorecase', but when adding
2949 matches to the list don't use it, so that all words with different case are
2950 added, "word", "Word" and "WORD".
2952 When 'cursorline' and 'hlsearch' are set and the search pattern is "x\n"
2953 the rest of the line was highlighted as a match.
2955 Cursor moved while evaluating 'balloonexpr' that invokes ":isearch" and
2956 redirects the output. Don't move the cursor to the command line if msg_silent
2959 exists() ignored text after a function name and option name, which could
2960 result in false positives.
2962 exists() ignored characters after the recognized word, which can be wrong when
2963 using a name with non-keyword characters. Specifically, these calls no longer
2964 allow characters after the name: exists('*funcname') exists('*funcname(...')
2965 exists('&option') exists(':cmd') exists('g:name') exists('g:name[n]')
2968 Trigger the TabEnter autocommand only after entering the current window of the
2969 tab page, otherwise the commands are executed with an invalid current window.
2971 Win32: When using two monitors and Vim is on the second monitor, changing the
2972 width of the Vim window could make it jump to the first monitor.
2974 When scrolling back at the more prompt and the quitting a line of text would
2975 be left behind when 'cmdheight' is 2 or more.
2977 Fixed a few things for Insert mode completion, especially when typing BS,
2978 CTRL-N or a printable character while still searching for matches.

3076 Problem: GUI: clicking in the lower part of a label in the tab pages line
3077 while 'mousefocus' is set may warp the mouse pointer. (Robert
3079 Solution: Check for a negative mouse position.
3083 Problem: Compiler warning for debug_saved used before set. (Todd Blumer)

3102 Files: src/message.c
3105 Problem: Can't call a function that uses both <SID> and {expr}. (Thomas)
3106 Solution: Check both the expanded and unexpanded name for <SID>.
3110 Problem: ml_get errors with both 'sidescroll' and 'spell' set.
3111 Solution: Use ml_get_buf() instead of ml_get(), get the line from the right
3112 buffer, not the current one.
3116 Problem: The spellfile plugin required typing login name and password.
3117 Solution: Use "anonymous" and "vim7user" by default. No need to setup a
3119 Files: runtime/autoload/spellfile.vim
3122 Problem: Can't compile without the folding and with the eval feature.

3129 Solution: Use winsaveview()/winrestview() instead of getpos()/setpos().
3130 Files: runtime/plugin/matchparen.vim
3133 Problem: Insert mode completion: using CTRL-L to add an extra character
3134 also deselects the current match, making it impossible to use
3135 CTRL-L a second time.
3136 Solution: Keep the current match. Also make CTRL-L work at the original
3137 text, using the first displayed match.
3141 Problem: Compiling gui_xmebw.c fails on Dec Alpha Tru64. (Rolfe)
3142 Solution: Disable some code for Motif 1.2 and older.
3143 Files: src/gui_xmebw.c

3185 buffer.delete() and setting a buffer line.
3186 Files: src/if_ruby.c
3189 Problem: Crash when doing spell completion in an empty line and pressing
3191 Solution: Check for a zero pointer. (James Vega)
3192 Also handle a situation without a matching pattern better, report
3193 "No matches" instead of remaining in undefined CTRL-X mode. And
3194 get out of CTRL-X mode when typing a letter.
3198 Problem: It is possible to set arbitrary "v:" variables.
3199 Solution: Disallow setting "v:" variables that are not predefined.
3203 Problem: Crash when removing an element of a:000. (Nikolai Weibull)
3204 Solution: Mark the a:000 list with VAR_FIXED.

3248 Files: runtime/autoload/paste.vim
3251 Problem: After doing completion and typing more characters or using BS
3252 repeating with "." didn't work properly. (Martin Stubenschrott)
3253 Solution: Don't put BS and other characters in the redo buffer right away,
3254 do this when finishing completion.
3258 Problem: Insert mode completion works when typed but not when replayed from
3259 a register. (Hari Krishna Dara)
3260 Also: Mappings for Insert mode completion don't always work.
3261 Solution: When finding a non-completion key in the input don't interrupt
3262 completion when it wasn't typed.
3263 Do use mappings when checking for typeahead while still finding
3264 completions. Avoids that completion is interrupted too soon.
3265 Use "compl_pending" in a different way.
3269 Problem: Can't compile with small features and syntax highlighting or the
3271 Solution: Define LINE_ATTR whenever syntax highlighting or the diff feature
3276 Problem: Crash when resizing the GUI window vertically when there is a line
3278 Solution: Don't redraw while the screen data is invalid.
3282 Problem: When calling complete() from an Insert mode expression mapping

3296 a spell suggestion with the mouse gets the wrong entry.
3297 Solution: Start listing the first alternative on the last line of the screen.
3298 Files: src/eval.c, src/spell.c
3301 Problem: cursor([1, 1]) doesn't work. (Peter Hodge)
3302 Solution: Allow leaving out the third item of the list and use zero for the
3303 virtual column offset.
3307 Problem: When pasting a block of text in Insert mode Vim hangs or crashes.
3309 Solution: Avoid that the cursor is positioned past the NUL of a line.
3313 Problem: Using "%!" at the start of 'statusline' doesn't work.
3314 Solution: Recognize the special item when the option is being set.
3318 Problem: Perl: setting a buffer line in another buffer may result in
3319 changing the current buffer.
3320 Solution: Properly change to the buffer to be changed.
3321 Files: src/if_perl.xs
3323 Patch 7.0.045 (extra)
3324 Problem: Win32: Warnings when compiling OLE version with MSVC 2005.
3325 Solution: Move including vim.h to before windows.h. (Ilya Bobir)
3326 Files: src/if_ole.cpp
3329 Problem: The matchparen plugin ignores parens in strings, but not in single
3330 quotes, often marked with "character".
3331 Solution: Also ignore parens in syntax items matching "character".
3332 Files: runtime/plugin/matchparen.vim
3335 Problem: When running configure the exit status is wrong.
3336 Solution: Handle the exit status properly. (Matthew Woehlke)
3337 Files: configure, src/configure
3340 Problem: Writing a compressed file fails when there are parens in the name.
3342 Solution: Put quotes around the temp file name.
3343 Files: runtime/autoload/gzip.vim
3346 Problem: Some TCL scripts are not recognized. (Steven Atkinson)
3347 Solution: Check for "exec wish" in the file.
3348 Files: runtime/scripts.vim
3351 Problem: After using the netbeans interface close command a stale pointer
3353 Solution: Clear the pointer to the closed buffer. (Xaview de Gaye)
3354 Files: src/netbeans.c
3356 Patch 7.0.051 (after 7.0.44)
3357 Problem: The Perl interface doesn't compile or doesn't work properly.
3358 Solution: Remove the spaces before #ifdef and avoid an empty line above it.
3359 Files: src/if_perl.xs
3362 Problem: The user may not be aware that the Vim server allows others more
3363 functionality than desired.
3364 Solution: When running Vim as root don't become a Vim server without an
3365 explicit --servername argument.
3369 Problem: Shortening a directory name may fail when there are multi-byte
3371 Solution: Copy the correct bytes. (Titov Anatoly)
3375 Problem: Mac: Using a menu name that only has a mnemonic or accelerator
3376 causes a crash. (Elliot Shank)
3377 Solution: Check for an empty menu name. Also delete empty submenus that
3378 were created before detecting the error.
3382 Problem: ":startinsert" in a CmdwinEnter autocommand doesn't take immediate
3383 effect. (Bradley White)
3384 Solution: Put a NOP key in the typeahead buffer. Also avoid that using
3385 CTRL-C to go back to the command line moves the cursor left.
3386 Files: src/edit.c, src/ex_getln.c
3389 Problem: "#!something" gives an error message.
3390 Solution: Ignore this line, so that it can be used in an executable Vim
3392 Files: src/ex_docmd.c

3415 src/if_perl.xs, src/quickfix.c, src/structs.h
3418 Problem: Insert mode completion for Vim commands may crash if there is
3419 nothing to complete.
3420 Solution: Instead of freeing the pattern make it empty, so that a "not
3421 found" error is given. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
3425 Problem: Mac: Crash when using the popup menu for spell correction. The
3426 popup menu appears twice when letting go of the right mouse button
3428 Solution: Don't show the popup menu on the release of the right mouse
3429 button. Also check that a menu pointer is actually valid.

3451 pages line it is not completely removed.
3452 Solution: Redraw the tab pages line after removing the popup menu. (Ori
3454 Files: src/popupmnu.c
3457 Problem: Undo doesn't always work properly when using "scim" input method.
3458 Undo is split up when using preediting.
3459 Solution: Reset xim_has_preediting also when preedit_start_col is not
3460 MAXCOL. Don't split undo when <Left> is used while preediting.
3461 (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
3462 Files: src/edit.c, src/mbyte.c
3465 Problem: When 'ignorecase' is set and using Insert mode completion,
3466 typing characters to change the list of matches, case is not
3467 ignored. (Hugo Ahlenius)
3468 Solution: Store the 'ignorecase' flag with the matches where needed.
3469 Files: src/edit.c, src/search.c, src/spell.c
3472 Problem: Setting 'guitablabel' to %!expand(\%) causes Vim to free an
3473 invalid pointer. (Kim Schulz)

3491 Problem: Using an empty search pattern may cause a crash.
3492 Solution: Avoid using a NULL pointer.
3496 Problem: When starting the GUI fails there is no way to adjust settings or
3498 Solution: Add the GUIFailed autocommand event.
3499 Files: src/fileio.c, src/gui.c, src/vim.h
3502 Problem: Insert mode completion: Typing <CR> sometimes selects the original
3503 text instead of keeping what was typed. (Justin Constantino)
3504 Solution: Don't let <CR> select the original text if there is no popup menu.
3507 Patch 7.0.074 (extra)
3508 Problem: Win32: tooltips were not converted from 'encoding' to Unicode.
3509 Solution: Set the tooltip to use Unicode and do the conversion. Also
3510 cleanup the code for the tab pages tooltips. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
3511 Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c
3514 Problem: winsaveview() did not store the actual value of the desired cursor
3515 column. This could move the cursor in the matchparen plugin.
3516 Solution: Call update_curswant() before using the value w_curswant.
3519 Patch 7.0.076 (after 7.0.010)
3520 Problem: Automatic downloading of spell files only works for ftp.
3521 Solution: Don't add login and password for non-ftp URLs. (Alexander Patrakov)
3522 Files: runtime/autoload/spellfile.vim
3525 Problem: ":unlet v:this_session" causes a crash. (Marius Roets)
3526 Solution: When trying to unlet a fixed variable give an error message.

3551 Files: src/ex_getln.c
3554 Problem: Calling a function that waits for input may cause List and
3555 Dictionary arguments to be freed by the garbage collector.
3556 Solution: Keep a list of all arguments to internal functions.
3560 Problem: Clicking with the mouse on an item for inputlist() doesn't work
3561 when 'compatible' is set and/or when 'cmdheight' is more than one.
3562 (Christian J. Robinson)
3563 Solution: Also decrement "lines_left" when 'more' isn't set. Set
3564 "cmdline_row" to zero to get all mouse events.
3565 Files: src/message.c, src/misc1.c
3568 Problem: The garbage collector may do its work while some Lists or
3569 Dictionaries are used internally, e.g., by ":echo" that runs into
3570 the more-prompt or ":echo [garbagecollect()]".
3571 Solution: Only do garbage collection when waiting for a character at the
3572 toplevel. Let garbagecollect() set a flag that is handled at the
3573 toplevel before waiting for a character.
3574 Files: src/eval.c, src/getchar.c, src/globals.h, src/main.c
3577 Problem: When doing "make test" the viminfo file is modified.
3578 Solution: Use another viminfo file after setting 'compatible.
3579 Files: src/testdir/test56.in
3582 Problem: getqflist() returns entries for pattern and text with the number
3583 zero. Passing these to setqflist() results in the string "0".
3584 Solution: Use an empty string instead of the number zero.

3588 Problem: After ":file fname" and ":saveas fname" the 'autochdir' option
3589 does not take effect. (Yakov Lerner)
3590 Commands for handling 'autochdir' are repeated many times.

4289 Problem: When using multi-byte characters the combination of completion and
4290 formatting may result in a wrong cursor position.
4291 Solution: Don't decrement the cursor column, use dec_cursor(). (Yukihiro
4292 Nakadaira) Also check for the column to be zero.
4296 Problem: Memory leaks when out of memory.
4297 Solution: Free the memory.
4298 Files: src/edit.c, src/diff.c

4303 Solution: Check for buffer in diff mode but not modifiable.
4307 Problem: Problems on Tandem systems while compiling and at runtime.
4308 Solution: Recognize root uid is 65535. Check select() return value for it
4309 not being supported. Avoid wrong function prototypes. Mention
4310 use of -lfloss. (Matthew Woehlke)
4311 Files: src/Makefile, src/ex_cmds.c, src/fileio.c, src/main.c,
4312 src/osdef1.h.in, src/osdef2.h.in, src/os_unix.c, src/pty.c,

4329 Files: src/getchar.c
4331 Patch 7.0.206 (after 7.0.058)
4332 Problem: Some characters of the "gb18030" encoding are not handled
4334 Solution: Do not use "cp936" as an alias for "gb18030" encoding. Instead
4335 initialize 'encoding' to "cp936".
4336 Files: src/mbyte.c, src/option.c
4339 Problem: After patch 2.0.203 CSI and K_SPECIAL characters are escaped when
4340 recorded and then again when the register is executed.
4341 Solution: Remove escaping before putting the recorded characters in a
4342 register. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
4343 Files: src/getchar.c, src/ops.c, src/proto/getchar.pro

4364 delete auto-indent. After ":set ai" it doesn't.
4365 Solution: Also check 'cindent' being set. (Ryan Lortie)
4369 Problem: The GUI can't be terminated with SIGTERM. (Mark Logan)
4370 Solution: Use the signal protection in the GUI as in the console, allow
4371 signals when waiting for 100 msec or longer.
4375 Problem: When 'spellfile' has two regions that use the same sound folding
4376 using "z=" will cause memory to be freed twice. (Mark Woodward)

4412 edited in another tab page the window is split. The "+123"
4413 argument is not used.
4414 Solution: Make the tab page with the file the current tab page. Set
4415 v:swapcommand when starting up to the first "+123" or "-c" command
4417 Files: runtime/macros/editexisting.vim, src/main.c
4420 Problem: Crash when using winnr('#') in a new tab page. (Andy Wokula)
4421 Solution: Check for not finding the window.
4425 Problem: finddir() uses 'path' by default, where "." means relative to the
4426 current file. But it works relative to the current directory.
4428 Solution: Add the current buffer name to find_file_in_path_option() for the
4430 Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt, src/eval.c
4433 Problem: Perl indenting using 'cindent' works almost right.
4434 Solution: Recognize '#' to start a comment. (Alex Manoussakis) Added '#'
4435 flag in 'cinoptions'.
4436 Files: runtime/doc/indent.txt, src/misc1.c
4439 Problem: Unprintable characters in completion text mess up the popup menu.
4441 Solution: Use strtrans() to make the text printable.

4483 Solution: Add the haslocaldir() function. (Bob Hiestand)
4484 Files: runtime/doc/usr_41.txt, runtime/doc/eval.txt, src/eval.c
4487 Problem: When recovering from a swap file the page size is likely to be
4488 different from the minimum. The block used for the first page
4489 then has a buffer of the wrong size, causing a crash when it's
4490 reused later. (Zephaniah Hull)
4491 Solution: Reallocate the buffer when the page size changes. Also check that
4492 the page size is at least the minimum value.
4493 Files: src/memline.c
4495 Patch 7.0.232 (extra)
4496 Problem: Mac: doesn't support GUI tab page labels.

4509 Solution: Disallow using feedkeys() in the sandbox.
4513 Problem: It is possible to use writefile() in the sandbox.
4514 Solution: Add a few more checks for the sandbox.
4518 Problem: Linux 2.4 uses sysinfo() with a mem_unit field, which is not
4519 backwards compatible.
4520 Solution: Add an autoconf check for sysinfo.mem_unit. Let mch_total_mem()
4521 return Kbyte to avoid overflow.
4522 Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/config.h.in,
4523 src/option.c, src/os_unix.c
4526 Problem: For root it is recommended to not use 'modeline', but in

4539 short file name when it shouldn't. Window-local options from a
4540 modeline may be applied to the wrong window. (Teemu Likonen)
4541 Solution: Add the did_lcd flag, use the full path when it's set. Don't use
4542 window-local options from the modeline when using the current
4543 window for another buffer in ":doautoall".
4544 Files: src/fileio.c, src/ex_docmd.c
4547 Problem: Crash when splitting a window in the GUI. (opposite of 7.0.227)
4548 Solution: Don't call out_flush() from win_alloc(). Also avoid this for
4549 win_delete(). Also block autocommands while the window structure

4555 Solution: Detect that win_goto() doesn't work.
4556 Files: src/ex_cmds2.c
4558 Patch 7.0.242 (extra)
4559 Problem: Win32: Using "-register" in a Vim that does not support OLE causes

4581 Mac: "make install" didn't copy rgb.txt.
4583 When editing a compressed file while there are folds caused "ml_get" errors
4584 and some lines could be missing. When decompressing failed option values were
4589 Problem: Crash when downloading a spell file. (Szabolcs Horvat)
4590 Solution: Avoid that did_set_spelllang() is used recursively when a new
4591 window is opened for the download.
4592 Also avoid wiping out the wrong buffer.

4613 Solution: Delete the text.
4614 Files: src/gui_w32.c
4617 Problem: When 'maxmem' is large there can be an overflow in computations.

4641 inconsistent and can easily be done wrong. Use character offsets now.
4642 (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
4644 The FileChangedShellPost event was also given when a file didn't change.
4647 When the current line is long (doesn't fit) the popup menu can't be seen.

6853 Problem: When a file name has an illegal byte sequence Vim may read
6854 uninitialised memory.
6855 Solution: Don't use UTF_COMPOSINGLIKE() on an illegal byte. In
6856 msg_outtrans_len_attr() use char2cells() instead of ptr2cells().
6857 In utf_ptr2char() don't check second byte when first byte is
6858 illegal. (Dominique Pelle)

6886 Files: src/message.c
6889 Problem: Using CTRL-W v in the quickfix window results in two quickfix
6890 windows, which is not allowed. ":tab split" should be allowed to
6891 open a new quickfix window in another tab.
6892 Solution: For CTRL-W v instead of splitting the window open a new one.
6893 When using ":tab" do allow splitting the quickfix window (was
6894 already included in patch 7.2a.013).
6898 Problem: ":doautoall" executes autocommands for all buffers instead of just

6914 commands. Add the --with-local-dir argument to configure. (Michael
6917 When using CTRL-D after ":help", the number of matches could be thousands.
6918 Restrict to TAG_MANY to avoid this taking too long. (Ian Kelling)
6920 The popup menu could be placed at a weird location. Caused by w_wcol computed
6921 by curs_columns(). (Dominique Pelle)
6923 Overlapping STRCPY() arguments when using %r item in 'errorformat'. Use
6924 STRMOVE() instead. (Ralf Wildenhues)
6926 Mac: On Leopard gvim, when using the mouse wheel nothing would happen until
6927 another event occurs, such as moving the mouse. Then the recorded scrolling
6928 would take place all at once. (Eckehard Berns)
6930 Solution for cursor color not reflecting IM status for GTK 2. Add
6931 preedit_is_active flag. (SungHyun Nam)
6933 filereadable() can hang on a FIFO on Linux. Use open() instead of fopen(),
6934 with O_NONBLOCK. (suggested by Lars Kotthoff)

6941 In a terminal, when drawing the popup menu over double-wide characters, half
6942 characters may not be cleared properly. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)

6967 searchpair() and substitute().
6968 Files: src/quickfix.c, src/eval.c
6971 Problem: The special character "!" isn't handled properly in shellescape().
6973 Solution: Escape "!" when using a "csh" like shell and with
6974 shellescape(s, 1). Twice for both. Also escape <NL>.
6978 Problem: Reading past end of string when reading info from tags line.
6979 Solution: Break the loop when encountering a NUL. (Dominique Pelle)
6983 Problem: Part of a message cannot be translated.

7076 updating the display.
7077 Solution: Don't check for terminal codes when starting the GUI.
7081 Problem: When the CursorHold event triggers a pending count is lost.
7083 Solution: Save the counts and restore them.
7084 Files: src/normal.c, src/structs.h
7087 Problem: The GTK 2 file chooser causes the ~/.recently-used.xbel file to be
7088 written over and over again. This may cause a significant
7089 slowdown. (Guido Berhoerster)
7090 Solution: Don't use the GTK 2 file chooser.
7091 Files: src/gui_gtk.c
7094 Problem: Memory leak for Python, Perl, etc. script command with end marker.
