*news.txt*    Nvim


                            NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL


Notable changes in Nvim 0.10 from 0.9                                    *news*

For changes in Nvim 0.9, see |news-0.9|.

                                       Type |gO| to see the table of contents.

==============================================================================
BREAKING CHANGES                                                *news-breaking*

The following changes may require adaptations in user config or plugins.

• |vim.tbl_islist()| now checks whether a table is actually list-like (i.e.,
  has integer keys without gaps and starting from 1). For the previous
  behavior (only check for integer keys, allow gaps or not starting with 1),
  use |vim.tbl_isarray()|.

• "#" followed by a digit no longer stands for a function key at the start of
  the lhs of a mapping.

• `:behave` was removed. if you used `:behave mswin`, the following is equivalent: >vim

    set selection=exclusive
    set selectmode=mouse,key
    set mousemodel=popup
    set keymodel=startsel,stopsel
<
• When switching windows, |CursorMoved| autocommands trigger when Nvim is back
  in the main loop rather than immediately. This is more compatible with Vim.

• |LspRequest| autocmd was promoted from a |User| autocmd to a first class
  citizen.

==============================================================================
ADDED FEATURES                                                     *news-added*

The following new APIs or features were added.

• Neovim's LSP client now always saves and restores named buffer marks when
  applying text edits.

• Nvim's LSP client now advertises the general.positionEncodings client
  capability to indicate to servers that it supports utf-8, utf-16, and utf-32
  encodings. If the server responds with the positionEncoding capability in
  its initialization response, Nvim automatically sets the client's
  `offset_encoding` field.

• Dynamic registration of LSP capabilities. An implication of this change is
  that checking a client's `server_capabilities` is no longer a sufficient
  indicator to see if a server supports a feature. Instead use
  `client.supports_method(<method>)`. It considers both the dynamic
  capabilities and static `server_capabilities`.

• |vim.iter()| provides a generic iterator interface for tables and Lua
  iterators |luaref-in|.

• Added |vim.keycode()| for translating keycodes in a string.

• Added automatic linting of treesitter query files (see |ft-query-plugin|).
  Automatic linting can be turned off via >lua
      vim.g.query_lint_on = {}
<
• Enabled treesitter highlighting for treesitter query files by default.

• Added |vim.treesitter.query.omnifunc()| for treesitter query files (set by
  default).

• |'smoothscroll'| option to scroll by screen line rather than by text line
  when |'wrap'| is set.

• |Query:iter_matches()| now has the ability to set the maximum start depth
  for matches.

• Added inline virtual text support to |nvim_buf_set_extmark()|.

• The terminal buffer now supports reflow (wrapped lines adapt when the buffer
  is resized horizontally). Note: Lines that are not visible and kept in
  |'scrollback'| are not reflown.

==============================================================================
CHANGED FEATURES                                                 *news-changed*

The following changes to existing APIs or features add new behavior.

• |vim.tbl_contains()| now works for general tables and allows specifying a
  predicate function that is checked for each value. (Use |vim.list_contains()|
  for checking list-like tables (integer keys without gaps) for literal values.)

• |vim.region()| can use a string accepted by |getpos()| as position.

• vim.diagnostic.config() now accepts a function for the virtual_text.prefix
  option, which allows for rendering e.g., diagnostic severities differently.

• The `workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles` LSP client capability is now enabled
  by default.

• |LspRequest| autocmd callbacks now contain additional information about the LSP
  request status update that occurred.

• `:source` without arguments treats a buffer with its 'filetype' set to "lua"
  as Lua code regardless of its extension.

==============================================================================
REMOVED FEATURES                                                 *news-removed*

The following deprecated functions or APIs were removed.

• Vimball support is removed.
  - :Vimuntar command removed.

==============================================================================
DEPRECATIONS                                                *news-deprecations*

The following functions are now deprecated and will be removed in a future

  - |nvim_buf_get_option()|	Use |nvim_get_option_value()| instead.
  - |nvim_buf_set_option()|	Use |nvim_set_option_value()| instead.
  - |nvim_get_option()|		Use |nvim_get_option_value()| instead.
  - |nvim_set_option()|		Use |nvim_set_option_value()| instead.
  - |nvim_win_get_option()|	Use |nvim_get_option_value()| instead.
