test/api: verify that UI options from stable metadata are preserved

api/ui: verify compatibility of UI events

ui: rename ext_newgrid to ext_linegrid

2018-10-01T19:24:15+00:00

ui: use line-based rather than char-based updates in screen.c

2018-07-21T11:21:58+00:00

Add ext_newgrid and ext_hlstate extensions. These use predefined
highlights and line-segment based updates, for efficiency and
simplicity.. The ext_hlstate extension in addition allows semantic
identification of builtin and syntax highlights.

Reimplement the old char-based updates in the remote UI layer, for
compatibility. For the moment, this is still the default. The bulitin
TUI uses the new line-based protocol.

cmdline uses curwin cursor position when ext_cmdline is active.

ui: refactor ui options

api: add detailed checks for compatibility and correct "since" value

api: api_info()['version']

API level is disconnected from NVIM version. The API metadata holds the
current API level, and the lowest backwards-compatible level supported
by this instance.

Release 0.1.6 is the first release that reports the Nvim version and API
level.

    metadata['version'] = {
      major: 0,
      minor: 1,
      patch: 6,
      api_level: 1,
      api_compatible: 0,
      api_prerelease: false,
    }

The API level may remain unchanged across Nvim releases if the API has
not changed.

When changing the API,
    - set NVIM_API_PRERELEASE to true
    - increment NVIM_API_LEVEL (at most once per Nvim version)
    - adjust NVIM_API_LEVEL_COMPAT if backwards-compatibility was broken

api_level_0.mpack was generated from Nvim 0.1.5 with:
    nvim --api-info
