rneovim.git/src/nvim/api/private, branch v0.1.6

api: api_info()['version']

2016-10-28T12:33:13+00:00

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

api: Nvim version, API level #5386

2016-10-26T12:23:50+00:00

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

Release 0.1.6 will be the first release reporting the Nvim version and
API level.

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

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

When changing the API the CMake variable NVIM_API_PRERELEASE is set to
true, and  NVIM_API_CURRENT/NVIM_API_COMPATIBILITY are incremented
accordingly.

The functional tests check the API table against fixtures of past
versions of Neovim. It compares all the functions in the old table with
the new one, it does ignore some metadata attributes that do not alter
the function signature or were removed since 0.1.5.  Currently the only
fixture is 0.mpack, generated from Neovim 0.1.5 with nvim --api-info.

helpers.c: Fix invalid state of failed conversion result for object_to_vim() (#5282)

2016-09-01T21:52:58+00:00

If a conversion for a container fails in object_to_vim(), the memory for
the container in the returned/converted value is freed, but the returned
value keeps a pointer to the freed memory. Calling later clear_tv() on
this value leads to an invalid memory access.

Set v_type to VAR_UNKNOWN in the converted value on failure, so that
clear_tv() has no effect.

api: consistently use nvim_ prefix and update documentation
