INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES *incompatible-6* These changes are incompatible with previous releases. Check this list if you run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 5.x to 6.0 Cursor position in Visual mode *curpos-visual*
When going from one window to another window on the same buffer while in Visual mode, the cursor position of the other window is adjusted to keep the same Visual area. This can be used to set the start of the Visual area in one window and the end in another. In vim 5.x the cursor position of the other window would be used, which could be anywhere and was not very useful. Substitute command Vi compatible *substitute-CR*
The substitute string (the "to" part of the substitute command) has been made Vi compatible. Previously aCTRL-Vhad a special meaning and could be used to prevent a<CR>to insert a line break. This made it impossible to insert aCTRL-Vbefore a line break. Now a backslash is used to prevent a<CR>to cause a line break. Since the number of backslashes is halved, it is still possible to insert a line break at the end of the line. This now works just like Vi, but it's not compatible with Vim versions before 6.0. When a ":s" command doesn't make any substitutions, it no longer sets the '[ and '] marks. This is not related to Vi, since it doesn't have these marks. Global option values introduced *new-global-values*
There are now global values for options which are local to a buffer or window. Previously the local options were copied from one buffer to another. When editing another file this could cause option values from a modeline to be used for the wrong file. Now the global values are used when entering a buffer that has not been used before. Also, when editing another buffer in a window, the local window options are reset to their global values. The ":set" command sets both the local and global values, this is still compatible. But a modeline only sets the local value, this is not backwards compatible. ":let &opt = val" now sets the local and global values, like ":set". New commands have been added to set the global or local value: :let &opt = val like ":set" :let &g:opt = val like ":setglobal" :let &l:opt = val like ":setlocal" 'fileencoding' changed *fileencoding-changed*
'fileencoding' was used in Vim 5.x to set the encoding used inside all of Vim. This was a bit strange, because it was local to a buffer and worked for all buffers. It could never be different between buffers, because it changed the way text in all buffers was interpreted. It is now used for the encoding of the file related to the buffer. If you still set 'fileencoding' it is likely to be overwritten by the detected encoding from 'fileencodings', thus it is "mostly harmless". The old FileEncoding autocommand now does the same as the new EncodingChanged event. Digraphs changed *digraphs-changed*
The default digraphs now correspond to RFC1345. This is very different from what was used in Vim 5.x. |digraphs| Filetype detection changed *filetypedetect-changed*
The filetype detection previously was using the "filetype" autocommand group. This caused confusion with the FileType event name (case is ignored). The group is now called "filetypedetect". It still works, but if the "filetype" group is used the autocommands will not be removed by ":filetype off". The support for 'runtimepath' has made the "myfiletypefile" and "mysyntaxfile" mechanism obsolete. They are still used for backwards compatibility. The connection between the FileType event and setting the 'syntax' option was previously in the "syntax" autocommand group. That caused confusion with the Syntax event name. The group is now called "syntaxset". The distributed syntax files no longer contain "syntax clear". That makes it possible to include one in the other without tricks. The syntax is now cleared when the 'syntax' option is set (by an autocommand added from synload.vim). This makes the syntax cleared when the value of 'syntax' does not correspond to a syntax file. Previously the existing highlighting was kept. Unlisted buffers introduced *new-unlisted-buffers*
There is now a difference between buffers which don't appear in the buffer
list and buffers which are really not in the buffer list. Commands like
":ls", ":bnext", ":blast" and the Buffers menu will skip buffers not in the
buffer list. |unlisted-buffer|
The 'buflisted' option can be used to make a buffer appear in the buffer list
or not.
Several commands that previously added a buffer to the buffer list now create
an unlisted buffer. This means that a ":bnext" and ":ball" will not find these
files until they have actually been edited. For example, buffers used for the
alternative file by ":write file" and ":read file".
Other commands previously completely deleted a buffer and now only remove
the buffer from the buffer list. Commands relying on a buffer not to be
present might fail. For example, a ":bdelete" command in an autocommand that
relied on something following to fail (was used in the automatic tests).
|:bwipeout| can be used for the old meaning of ":bdelete".
The BufDelete autocommand event is now triggered when a buffer is removed from
the buffer list. The BufCreate event is only triggered when a buffer is
created that is added to the buffer list, or when an existing buffer is added
to the buffer list. BufAdd is a new name for BufCreate.
The new BufNew event is for creating any buffer and BufWipeout for really
deleting a buffer.
When doing Insert mode completion, only buffers in the buffer list are
scanned. Added the 'U' flag to 'complete' to do completion from unlisted
buffers.
Unlisted buffers are not stored in a viminfo file.
CTRL-U in Command-line mode changed *CTRL-U-changed*
UsingCTRL-Uwhen editing the command line cleared the whole line. Most shells only delete the characters before the cursor. Made it work like that. (Steve Wall) You can get the old behavior withCTRL-ECTRL-U::cnoremap<C-U><C-E><C-U>Ctags gone *ctags-gone*
Ctags is no longer part of the Vim distribution. It's now a grown-up program by itself, it deserves to be distributed separately. Ctags can be found here: http://ctags.sf.net/. Documentation reorganized *documentation-6*
The documentation has been reorganized, an item may not be where you found it in Vim 5.x. - The user manual was added, some items have been moved to it from the reference manual. - The quick reference is now in a separate file (so that it can be printed). The examples in the documentation were previously marked with a ">" in the first column. This made it difficult to copy/paste them. There is now a single ">" before the example and it ends at a "<" or a non-blank in the first column. This also looks better without highlighting. 'helpfile' is no longer used to find the help tags file. This allows a user to add its own help files (e.g., for plugins). Modeless selection and clipboard *modeless-and-clipboard*
The modeless selection is used to select text when Visual mode can't be used, for example when editing the command line or at the more prompt. In Vim 5.x the modeless selection was always used. On MS-Windows this caused the clipboard to be overwritten, with no way to avoid that. The modeless selection now obeys the 'a' and 'A' flags in 'guioptions' and "autoselect" and "autoselectml" in 'clipboard'. By default there is no automatic copy on MS-Windows. Use the |c_CTRL-Y| command to manually copy the selection. To get the old behavior back, do this::set clipboard^=autoselectml guioptions+=ASmall incompatibilities *incomp-small-6*
'backupdir', 'cdpath', 'directory', 'equalprg', 'errorfile', 'formatprg',
'grepprg', 'helpfile', 'makeef', 'makeprg', 'keywordprg', 'cscopeprg',
'viminfo' and 'runtimepath' can no longer be set from a modeline, for better
security.
Removed '_' from the 'breakat' default: It's commonly used in keywords.
The default for 'mousehide' is on, because this works well for most people.
The Amiga binary is now always compiled with "big" features. The "big" binary
archive no longer exists.
The items "[RO]", "[+]", "[help]", "[Preview]" and "[filetype]" in
'statusline' no longer have a leading space.
Non-Unix systems: When expanding wildcards for the Vim arguments, don't use
'suffixes'. It now works as if the shell had expanded the arguments.
The 'lisp', 'smartindent' and 'cindent' options are not switched off when
'paste' is set. The auto-indenting is disabled when 'paste' is set, but
manual indenting with "=" still works.
When formatting with "=" uses 'cindent' or 'indentexpr' indenting, and there
is no change in indent, this is not counted as a change ('modified' isn't set
and there is nothing to undo).
Report 'modified' as changed when 'fileencoding' or 'fileformat' was set.
Thus it reflects the possibility to abandon the buffer without losing changes.
The "Save As" menu entry now edits the saved file. Most people expect it to
work like this.
A buffer for a directory is no longer added to the Buffers menu.
Renamed <Return> to <Enter>, since that's what it's called on most keyboards.
Thus it's now the hit-enter prompt instead of the hit-return prompt.
Can map <Enter> just like <CR> or <Return>.
The default for the 'viminfo' option is now '20,"50,h when 'compatible' isn't
set. Most people will want to use it, including beginners, but it required
setting the option, which isn't that easy.
After using ":colder" the newer error lists are overwritten. This makes it
possible to use ":grep" to browse in a tree-like way. Must use ":cnewer 99"
to get the old behavior.
The patterns in 'errorformat' would sometimes ignore case (MS-Windows) and
sometimes not (Unix). Now case is always ignored. Add "\C" to the pattern to
match case.
The 16 bit MS-DOS version is now compiled without the +listcmds feature
(buffer list manipulation commands). They are not often needed and this
executable needs to be smaller.
'sessionoptions' now includes "curdir" by default. This means that restoring
a session will result in the current directory being restored, instead of
going to the directory where the session file is located.
A session deleted all buffers, deleting all marks. Now keep the buffer list,
it shouldn't hurt for some existing buffers to remain present.
When the argument list is empty ":argdel *" caused an error message.
No longer put the search pattern from a tag jump in the history.
Use "SpecialKey" highlighting for unprintable characters instead of "NonText".
The idea is that unprintable text or any text that's displayed differently
from the characters in the file is using "SpecialKey", and "NonText" is used
for text that doesn't really exist in the file.
Motif now uses the system default colors for the menu and scrollbar. Used to
be grey. It's still possible to set the colors with ":highlight" commands and
resources.
Formatting text with "gq" breaks a paragraph at a non-empty blank line.
Previously the line would be removed, which wasn't very useful.
":normal" does no longer hang when the argument ends in half a command.
Previously Vim would wait for more characters to be typed, without updating
the screen. Now it pretends an <Esc> was typed.
Bitmaps for the toolbar are no longer searched for in "$VIM/bitmaps" but in
the "bitmaps" directories in 'runtimepath'.
Now use the Cmdline-mode menus for the hit-enter prompt instead of the Normal
mode menus. This generally works better and allows using the "Copy" menu to
produce CTRL-Y to copy the modeless selection.
Moved the font selection from the Window to the Edit menu, together with the
other settings.
The default values for 'isfname' include more characters to make "gf" work
better.
Changed the license for the documentation to the Open Publication License.
This seemed fair, considering the inclusion of parts of the Vim book, which is
also published under the OPL. The downside is that we can't force someone who
would sell copies of the manual to contribute to Uganda.
After "ayy don't let ""yy or :let @" = val overwrite the "a register.
Use the unnamed register instead.
MSDOS: A pattern "*.*" previously also matched a file name without a dot.
This was inconsistent with other versions.
In Insert mode, CTRL-O CTRL-\ CTRL-N {cmd} remains in Normal mode. Previously
it would go back to Insert mode, thus confusing the meaning of CTRL-\ CTRL-N,
which is supposed to take us to Normal mode (especially in ":amenu").
Allow using ":" commands after an operator. Could be used to implement a new
movement command. Thus it no longer aborts a pending operator.
For the Amiga the "-d {device}" argument was possible. When compiled with the
diff feature, this no longer works. Use "-dev {device}" instead. |-dev|
Made the default mappings for <S-Insert> in Insert mode insert the text
literally, avoids that special characters like BS cause side effects.
Using ":confirm" applied to the rest of the line. Now it applies only to the
command right after it. Thus ":confirm if x | edit | endif" no longer works,
use ":if x | confirm edit | endif". This was the original intention, that it
worked differently was a bug.
NEW FEATURES *new-6* Folding *new-folding*
Vim can now display a buffer with text folded. This allows overviewing the structure of a file quickly. It is also possible to yank, delete and put folded text, for example to move a function to another position. There is a whole bunch of new commands and options related to folding. See |folding|. Vertically split windows *new-vertsplit*
Windows can also be split vertically. This makes it possible to have windows side by side. One nice use for this is to compare two similar files (see |new-diff-mode|). The 'scrollbind' option can be used to synchronize scrolling. A vertical split can be created with the commands: :vsplit orCTRL-Wv orCTRL-WCTRL-V|:vsplit| :vnew |:vnew| :vertical{cmd}|:vertical| The last one is a modifier, which has a meaning for any command that splits a window. For example::vertical stag mainWill vertically split the window and jump to the tag "main" in the new window. Moving from window to window horizontally can be done with the |CTRL-W_h| and |CTRL-W_l| commands. The |CTRL-W_k| and |CTRL-W_j| commands have been changed to jump to the window above or below the cursor position. The vertical and horizontal splits can be mixed as you like. Resizing windows is easy when using the mouse, just position the pointer on a status line or vertical separator and drag it. In the GUI a special mouse pointer shape indicates where you can drag a status or separator line. To resize vertically split windows use the |CTRL-W_<| and |CTRL-W_>| commands. To make a window the maximum width use theCTRL-W|command|CTRL-W_bar|. To force a new window to use the full width or height of the Vim window, these two modifiers are available: :topleft{cmd}New window appears at the top with full width or at the left with full height. :botright{cmd}New window appears at the bottom with full width or at the right with full height. This can be combined with ":vertical" to force a vertical split::vert bot dsplit DEBUGThis will open a window at the far right, occupying the full height of the Vim window, with the cursor on the first definition of "DEBUG". The help window is opened at the top, like ":topleft" was used, if the current window is fewer than 80 characters wide. A few options can be used to set the preferences for vertically split windows. They work similar to their existing horizontal equivalents:horizontal vertical'splitbelow' 'splitright' 'winheight' 'winwidth' 'winminheight' 'winminwidth' It's possible to set 'winminwidth' to zero, so that temporarily unused windows hardly take up space without closing them. The new 'eadirection' option tells where 'equalalways' applies: :set eadirection=both both directions :set eadirection=ver equalize window heights :set eadirection=hor equalize windows widths This can be used to avoid changing window sizes when you want to keep them. Since windows can become quite narrow with vertical splits, text lines will often not fit. The 'sidescrolloff' has been added to keep some context left and right of the cursor. The 'listchars' option has been extended with the "precedes" item, to show a "<" for example, when there is text left off the screen. (Utz-Uwe Haus) "-O" command line argument: Like "-o" but split windows vertically. (Scott Urban) Added commands to move the current window to the very top (CTRL-WK), bottom (CTRL-WJ), left (CTRL-WH) and right (CTRL-WL). In the new position the window uses the full width/height of the screen. When there is not enough room in the status line for both the file name and the ruler, use up to half the width for the ruler. Useful for narrow windows. Diff mode *new-diff-mode*
In diff mode Vim shows the differences between two, three or four files. Folding is used to hide the parts of the file that are equal. Highlighting is used to show deleted and changed lines. See |diff-mode|. An easy way to start in diff mode is to start Vim as "vimdiff file1 file2". Added the vimdiff manpage. In a running Vim the |:diffsplit| command starts diff mode for the current file and another file. The |:diffpatch| command starts diff mode using the current file and a patch file. The |:diffthis| command starts diff mode for the current window. Differences can be removed with the |:diffget| and |:diffput| commands. - The 'diff' option switches diff mode on in a window. - The |:diffupdate| command refreshes the diffs. - The 'diffopt' option changes how diffs are displayed. - The 'diffexpr' option can be set how a diff is to be created. - The 'patchexpr' option can be set how patch is applied to a file. - Added the "diff" folding method. When opening a window for diff-mode, set 'foldlevel' to zero and 'foldenable' on, to close the folds. - Added the DiffAdd, DiffChange, DiffDelete and DiffText highlight groups to specify the highlighting for differences. The defaults are ugly... - Unix: make a vimdiff symbolic link for "make install". - Removed the now obsolete "vimdiff.vim" script from the distribution. - Added the "[c" and "]c" commands to move to the next/previous change in diff mode. Easy Vim: click-and-type *new-evim*
eVim stands for "Easy Vim". This is a separate program, but can also be started as "vim -y". This starts Vim with 'insertmode' set to allow click-and-type editing. The $VIMRUNTIME/evim.vim script is used to add mappings and set options to be able to do most things likeNotepad. This is only for people who can't stand two modes. eView does the same but in readonly mode. In the GUI aCTRL-Cnow only interrupts when busy with something, not when waiting for a character. Allows usingCTRL-Cto copy text to the clipboard. User manual *new-user-manual*
The user manual has been added. It is organised around editing tasks. It
reads like a book, from start to end. It should allow beginners to start
learning Vim. It helps everybody to learn using the most useful Vim features.
It is much easier to read than the reference manual, but omits details. See
|user-manual|.
The user manual includes parts of the Vim book by Steve Oualline |frombook|.
It is published under the OPL |manual-copyright|.
When syntax highlighting is not enabled, the characters in the help file which
mark examples ('>' and '<') and header lines ('~') are replaced with a space.
When closing the help window, the window layout is restored from before
opening it, if the window layout didn't change since then.
When opening the help window, put it at the top of the Vim window if the
current window is fewer than 80 characters and not full width.
Flexible indenting *new-indent-flex*
Automatic indenting is now possible for any language. It works with a Vim script, which makes it very flexible to compute the indent. The ":filetype indent on" command enables using the provided indent scripts. This is explained in the user manual: |30.3|. The 'indentexpr' option is evaluated to get the indent for a line. The 'indentkeys' option tells when to trigger re-indenting. Normally these options are set from an indent script. Like Syntax files, indent scripts will be created and maintained by many people. Extended search patterns *new-searchpat*
Added the possibility to match more than one line with a pattern. (partly by Loic Grenie) New items in a search pattern for multi-line matches: \n match end-of-line, also in [] \_[] match characters in range and end-of-line \_x match character class and end-of-line \_. match any character or end-of-line \_^ match start-of-line, can be used anywhere in the regexp \_$ match end-of-line, can be used anywhere in the regexp Various other new items in search patterns: \c ignore case for the whole pattern \C match case for the whole pattern \m magic on for the following \M magic off for the following \v make following characters "very magic" \V make following characters "very nomagic" \@! don't match atom before this. Example: "foo\(bar\)\@!" matches "foo " but not "foobar". \@= match atom, resulting in zero-width match Example: "foo\(bar\)\@=" matches "foo" in "foobar". \@<! don't match preceding atom before the current position \@<= match preceding atom before the current position \@> match preceding atom as a subexpression \& match only when branch before and after it match \%[] optionally match a list of atoms; "end\%[if]" matches "end", "endi" and "endif" \%(\) like \(\), but without creating a back-reference; there can be any number of these, overcomes the limit of nine \( \) pairs \%^ match start-of-file (Chase Tingley) \%$ match end-of-file (Chase Tingley) \%# Match with the cursor position. (Chase Tingley) \? Just like "\=" but can't be used in a "?" command. \%23l match in line 23 \%<23l match before line 23 \%>23l match after line 23 \%23c, \%<23c, \%>23c match in/before/after column 23 \%23v, \%<23v, \%>23v match in/before/after virtual column 23 For syntax items: \z(...\) external reference match set (in region start pattern) \z1 - \z9 external reference match use (in region skip or end pattern) (Scott Bigham) \zs use position as start of match \ze use position as end of match Removed limit of matching only up to 32767 times with *, \+, etc. Added support to match multi-byte characters. (partly by Muraoka Taro) Made "\<" and "\>" work for UTF-8. (Muraoka Taro) UTF-8 support *new-utf-8*
Vim can now edit files in UTF-8 encoding. Up to 31 bit characters can be used, but only 16 bit characters are displayed. Up to two combining characters are supported, they overprint the preceding character. Double-wide characters are also supported. See |UTF-8|. UCS-2, UCS-4 and UTF-16 encodings are supported too, they are converted to UTF-8 internally. There is also support for editing Unicode files in a Latin1 environment. Other encodings are converted with iconv() or an external converter specified with 'charconvert'. Many new items for Multi-byte support: - Added 'encoding' option: specifies character encoding used inside Vim. It can be any 8-bit encoding, some double-byte encodings or Unicode. It is initialized from the environment when a supported value is found. - Added 'fileencoding' and 'fileencodings': specify character coding in a file, similar to 'fileformat' and 'fileformats'. When 'encoding' is "utf-8" and 'fileencodings' is "utf-8,latin1" this will automatically switch to latin1 if a file does not contain valid UTF-8. - Added 'bomb' option and detection of a BOM at the start of a file. Can be used with "ucs-bom" in 'fileencodings' to automatically detect a Unicode file if it starts with a BOM. Especially useful on MS-Windows (NT and 2000), which uses ucs-2le files with a BOM (e.g., when exporting the registry). - Added the 'termencoding' option: Specifies the encoding used for the terminal. Useful to put Vim in utf-8 mode while in a non-Unicode locale::let &termencoding = &encoding:set encoding=utf-8- When 'viminfo' contains the 'c' flag, the viminfo file is converted from the 'encoding' it was written with to the current 'encoding'. - Added ":scriptencoding" command: convert lines in a sourced script to 'encoding'. Useful for menu files. - Added 'guifontwide' to specify a font for double-wide characters. - Added Korean support for character class detection. Also fix cls() in search.c. (Chong-Dae Park) - Win32: Typing multi-byte characters without IME. (Alexander Smishlajev) - Win32 with Mingw: compile with iconv library. (Ron Aaron) - Win32 with MSVC: dynamically load iconv.dll library. (Muraoka Taro) - Make it possible to build a version with multi-byte and iconv support with Borland 5.5. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) - Added 'delcombine' option: Delete combining character separately. (Ron Aaron) - The "xfontset" feature isn't required for "xim". These are now two independent features. - XIM: enable XIM when typing a language character (Insert mode, Search pattern, "f" or "r" command). Disable XIM when typing a Normal mode command. - When the XIM is active, show "XIM" in the 'showmode' message. (Nam SungHyun) - Support "CursorIM" for XIM. (Nam SungHyun) - Added 'm' flag to 'formatoptions': When wrapping words, allow splitting at each multibyte character, not only at a space. - Made ":syntax keyword" work with multi-byte characters. - Added support for Unicode upper/lowercase flipping and comparing. (based on patch by Raphael Finkel) Let "~" on multi-byte characters that have a third case ("title case") switch between the three cases. (Raphael Finkel) Allow defining digraphs for multi-byte characters. Added RFC1345 digraphs for Unicode. Most Normal mode commands that accept a character argument, like "r", "t" and "f" now accept a digraph. The 'D' flag in 'cpoptions' disables this to remain Vi compatible. Added Language mapping and 'keymap' to be able to type multi-byte characters: - Added the ":lmap" command and friends: Define mappings that are used when typing characters in the language of the text. Also for "r", "t", etc. In Insert and Command-line mode CTRL-^ switches the use of the mappings on/off. CTRL-^ also toggles the use of an input method when no language mappings are present. Allows switching the IM back on halfway typing. - "<char-123>" argument to ":map", allows to specify the decimal, octal or hexadecimal value of a character. - Implemented the 'keymap' option: Load a keymap file. Uses ":lnoremap" to define mappings for the keymap. The new ":loadkeymap" command is used in the keymap file. - Added 'k' flag in 'statusline': Value of "b:keymap_name" or 'keymap' when it's being used. Uses "<lang>" when no keymap is loaded and ":lmap"s are active. Show this text in the default statusline too. - Added the 'iminsert' and 'imsearch' options: Specify use of langmap mappings and Input Method with an option. (Muraoka Taro) Added 'imcmdline' option: When set the input method is always enabled when starting to edit a command line. Useful for a XIM that uses dead keys to type accented characters. Added 'imactivatekey' option to better control XIM. (Muraoka Taro) - When typing a mapping that's not finished yet, display the last character under the cursor in Insert mode and Command-line mode. Looks good for dead characters. - Made the 'langmap' option recognize multi-byte characters. But mapping only works for 8-bit characters. Helps when using UTF-8. - Use a different cursor for when ":lmap" mappings are active. Can specify two highlight groups for an item in 'guicursor'. By default "lCursor" and "Cursor" are equal, the user must set a color he likes. Use the cursor color for hangul input as well. (Sung-Hyun Nam) - Show "(lang)" for 'showmode' when language mapping is enabled. - UTF-8: Made "r" work with a ":lmap" that includes a composing character. Also works for "f", which now works to find a character that includes a composing character. Other multi-byte character additions: - Support double-byte single-width characters for euc-jp: Characters starting with 0x8E. Added ScreenLines2[] to store the second byte. Multi-language support *new-multi-lang*
The messages used in Vim can be translated. Several translations are available. This uses the gettext mechanism. It allows adding a translation without recompiling Vim. |multi-lang| (partly by Marcin Dalecki) The translation files are in the src/po directory. The src/po/README.txt file explains a few things about doing a translation. Menu translations are available as well. This uses the new |:menutranslate| command. The translations are found in the runtime directory "lang". This allows a user to add a translation. Added |:language| command to set the language (locale) for messages, time and character type. This allows switching languages in Vim without changing the locale outside of Vim. Made it possible to have vimtutor use different languages. (Eduardo Fernandez) Spanish (Eduardo Fernandez), Italian (Antonio Colombo), Japanese (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) and French (Adrien Beau) translations are included. Added "vimtutor.bat": script to start Vim on a copy of the tutor file for MS-Windows. (Dan Sharp) - Added v:lang variable to be able to get current language setting. (Marcin Dalecki) Also v:lc_time and v:ctype. - Make it possible to translate the dialogs used by the menus. Uses global "menutrans_" variables. ":menutrans clear" deletes them. - removed "broken locale" (Marcin Dalecki). - Don't use color names in icons, use RGB values. The names could be translated. - Win32: Added global IME support (Muraoka) - Win32: Added dynamic loading of IME support. - ":messages" prints a message about who maintains the messages or the translations. Useful to find out where to make a remark about a wrong translation. - --disable-nls argument for configure: Disable use of gettext(). (Sung-Hyun Nam) - Added NLS support for Win32 with the MingW compiler. (Eduardo Fernandez) - When available, call bind_textdomain_codeset() to have gettext() translate messages to 'encoding'. This requires GNU gettext 0.10.36 or later. - Added gettext support for Win32. This means messages will be translated when the locale is set and libintl.dll can be found. (Muraoka Taro) Also made it work with MingW compiler. (Eduardo Fernandez) Detect the language and set $LANG to get the appropriate translated messages (if supported). Also use $LANG to select a language, v:lang is a very different kind of name. - Made gvimext.dll use translated messages, if possible. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Plugin support *new-plugins*
To make it really easy to load a Vim script when starting Vim, the "plugin"
runtime directory can be used. All "*.vim" files in it will be automatically
loaded. For Unix, the directory "~/.vim/plugin" is used by default. The
'runtimepath' option can be set to look in other directories for plugins.
|load-plugins| |add-plugin|
The |:runtime| command has been added to load one or more files in
'runtimepath'.
Standard plugins:
netrw.vim - Edit files over a network |new-network-files|
gzip.vim - Edit compressed files
explorer.vim - Browse directories |new-file-browser|
Added support for local help files. |add-local-help|.
When searching for help tags, all "doc/tags" files in 'runtimepath' are used.
Added the ":helptags" command: Generate a tags file for a help directory.
The first line of each help file is automagically added to the "LOCAL
ADDITIONS" section in doc/help.txt.
Added the <unique> argument to ":map": only add a mapping when it wasn't
defined before.
When displaying an option value with 'verbose' set will give a message about
where the option was last set. Very useful to find out which script did set
the value.
The new |:scriptnames| command displays a list of all scripts that have been
sourced.
GUI: For Athena, Motif and GTK look for a toolbar bitmap in the "bitmaps"
directories in 'runtimepath'. Allows adding your own bitmaps.
Filetype plugins *new-filetype-plugins*
A new group of files has been added to do settings for specific file types. These can be options and mappings which are specifically used for one value of 'filetype'. The files are located in "$VIMRUNTIME/ftplugin". The 'runtimepath' option makes it possible to use several sets of plugins: Your own, system-wide, included in the Vim distribution, etc. To be able to make this work, several features were added: - Added the "s:" variables, local to a script. Avoids name conflicts with global variables. They can be used in the script and in functions, autocommands and user commands defined in the script. They are kept between invocations of the same script. |s:var| - Added the global value for local options. This value is used when opening a new buffer or editing another file. The option value specified in a modeline or filetype setting is not carried over to another buffer. ":set" sets both the local and the global value. ":setlocal" sets the local option value only. ":setglobal" sets or displays the global value for a local option. ":setlocal name<" sets a local option to its global value. - Added the buffer-local value for some global options: 'equalprg', 'makeprg', 'errorformat', 'grepprg', 'path', 'dictionary', 'thesaurus', 'tags', 'include' and 'define'. This allows setting a local value for these global options, without making it incompatible. - Added mappings and abbreviations local to a buffer: ":map<buffer>". - In a mapping "<Leader>" can be used to get the value of the "mapleader" variable. This simplifies mappings that use "mapleader". "<Leader>" defaults to "\". "<LocalLeader>" does the same with "maplocalleader". This is to be used for mappings local to a buffer. - Added<SID>Script ID to define functions and mappings local to a script. - Added<script>argument to ":noremap" and ":noremenu": Only remap script-local mappings. Avoids that mappings from other scripts get in the way, but does allow using mappings defined in the script. - User commands can be local to a buffer: ":command -buffer". The new ":setfiletype" command is used in the filetype detection autocommands, to avoid that 'filetype' is set twice. File browser *new-file-browser*
When editing a directory, the explorer plugin will list the files in the directory. Pressing<Enter>on a file name edits that file. Pressing<Enter>on a directory moves the browser to that directory. There are several other possibilities, such as opening a file in the preview window, renaming files and deleting files. See |file-explorer|. Editing files over a network *new-network-files*
Files starting with scp://, rcp://, ftp:// and http:// are recognized as remote files. An attempt is made to access these files with the indicated method. For http:// only reading is possible, for the others writing is also supported. Uses the netrw.vim script as a standard "plugin". |netrw| Made "gf" work on a URL. It no longer assumes the file is local on the computer (mostly didn't work anyway, because the full path was required). Adjusted test2 for this. Allow using a URL in 'path'. Makes ":find index.html" work. GTK: Allow dropping a http:// and ftp:// URL on Vim. The netrw plugin takes care of downloading the file. (MiKael Berthe) Window for command-line editing *new-cmdwin*
The Command-line window can be used to edit a command-line with Normal and Insert mode commands. When it is opened it contains the history. This allows copying parts of previous command lines. |cmdwin| The command-line window can be opened from the command-line with the key specified by the 'cedit' option (like Nvi). It can also be opened directly from Normal mode with "q:", "q/" and "q?". The 'cmdwinheight' is used to specify the initial height of the window. In Insert modeCTRL-XCTRL-Vcan be used to complete an Ex command line, like it's done on the command-line. This is also useful for writing Vim scripts! Additionally, there is "improved Ex mode". Entered when Vim is started as "exim" or "vim -E", and with the "gQ" command. Works like repeated use of ":", with full command-line editing and completion. (Ulf Carlsson) Debugging mode *new-debug-mode*
In debugging mode sourced scripts and user functions can be executed line by
line. There are commands to step over a command or step into it. |debug-mode|
Breakpoints can be set to run until a certain line in a script or user
function is executed. |:breakadd|
Debugging can be started with ":debug {cmd}" to debug what happens when a
command executes. The |-D| argument can be used to debug while starting up.
Cursor in virtual position *new-virtedit*
Added the 'virtualedit' option: Allow positioning the cursor where there is no actual character in Insert mode, Visual mode or always. (Matthias Kramm) This is especially useful in Visual-block mode. It allows positioning a corner of the area where there is no text character. (Many improvements by Chase Tingley) Debugger interface *new-debug-itf*
This was originally made to work with Sun Visual Workshop. (Gordon Prieur) See |debugger|, |sign| and |workshop|. Added the ":sign" command to define and place signs. They can be displayed with two ASCII characters or an icon. The line after it can be highlighted. Useful to display breakpoints and the current PC position. Added the |:wsverb| command to execute debugger commands. Added balloon stuff: 'balloondelay' and 'ballooneval' options. Added "icon=" argument for ":menu". Allows defining a specific icon for a ToolBar item. Communication between Vims *new-vim-server*
Added communication between two Vims. Makes it possible to send commands from one Vim to another. Works for X-Windows and MS-Windows |clientserver|. Use "--remote" to have files be edited in an already running Vim. Use "--remote-wait" to do the same and wait for the editing to finish. Use "--remote-send" to send commands from one Vim to another. Use "--remote-expr" to have an expression evaluated in another Vim. Use "--serverlist" to list the currently available Vim servers. (X only) There are also functions to communicate between the server and the client. |remote_send()| |remote_expr()| (X-windows version implemented by Flemming Madsen, MS-Windows version by Paul Moore) Added the command server name to the window title, so you can see which server name belongs to which Vim. Removed the OleVim directory and SendToVim.exe and EditWithVim.exe from the distribution. Can now use "gvim --remote" and "gvim --remote-send", which is portable. GTK+: Support running Vim inside another window. Uses the --socketid argument (Neil Bird) Buffer type options *new-buftype*
The 'buftype' and 'bufhidden' options have been added. They can be set to have different kinds of buffers. For example: - 'buftype' = "quickfix": buffer with error list - 'buftype' = "nofile" and 'bufhidden' = "delete": scratch buffer that will be deleted as soon as there is no window displaying it. 'bufhidden' can be used to overrule the 'hidden' option for one buffer. In combination with 'buflisted' and 'swapfile' this offers the possibility to use various kinds of special buffers. See |special-buffers|. Printing *new-printing*
Included first implementation of the ":hardcopy" command for printing to paper. For MS-Windows any installed printer can be used. For other systems a PostScript file is generated, which can be printed with the 'printexpr' option. (MS-Windows part by Vince Negri, Vipin Aravind, PostScript by Vince Negri and Mike Williams) Made ":hardcopy" work with multi-byte characters. (Muraoka Taro, Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Added options to tune the way printing works: (Vince Negri) - 'printoptions' defines various things. - 'printheader' specifies the header format. Added "N" field to 'statusline' for the page number. - 'printfont' specifies the font name and attributes. - 'printdevice' defines the default printer for ":hardcopy!". Ports *ports-6*
Port to OS/390 Unix (Ralf Schandl)
- A lot of changes to handle EBCDIC encoding.
- Changed Ctrl('x') to Ctrl_x define.
Included jsbmouse support. (Darren Garth)
Support for dec mouse in Unix. (Steve Wall)
Port to 16-bit MS Windows (Windows 3.1x) (Vince Negri)
Port to QNX. Supports the Photon GUI, mouse, etc. (Julian Kinraid)
Allow cross-compiling the Win32 version with Make_ming.mak. (Ron Aaron)
Added Python support for compiling with Mingw. (Ron Aaron)
Dos 32 bit: Added support the Windows clipboard. (David Kotchan)
Win32: Dynamically load Perl and Python. Allows compiling Vim with these
interfaces and will try to find the DLLs at runtime. (Muraoka Taro)
Compiling the Win32 GUI with Cygwin. Also compile vimrun, dosinst and
uninstall. (Gerfried)
Mac: Make Vim compile with the free MPW compiler supplied by Apple. And
updates for CodeWarrior. (Axel Kielhorn)
Added typecasts and ifdefs as a start to make Vim work on Win64 (George
Reilly)
Quickfix extended *quickfix-6*
Added the "error window". It contains all the errors of the current error
list. Pressing <Enter> in a line makes Vim jump to that line (in another
window). This makes it easy to navigate through the error list.
|quickfix-window|.
- |:copen| opens the quickfix window.
- |:cclose| closes the quickfix window.
- |:cwindow| takes care that there is a quickfix window only when there are
recognized errors. (Dan Sharp)
- Quickfix also knows "info", next to "warning" and "error" types. "%I" can be
used for the start of a multi-line informational message. (Tony Leneis)
- The "%p" argument can be used in 'errorformat' to get the column number from
a line where "^" points to the column. (Stefan Roemer)
- When using "%f" in 'errorformat' on a DOS/Windows system, also include "c:"
in the filename, even when using "%f:".
Operator modifiers *new-operator-mod*
Insert "v", "V" or CTRL-V between an operator and a motion command to force
the operator to work characterwise, linewise or blockwise. |o_v|
Search Path *new-search-path*
Vim can search in a directory tree not only in downwards but also upwards.
Works for the 'path', 'cdpath' and 'tags' options. (Ralf Schandl)
Also use "**" for 'tags' option. (Ralf Schandl)
Added 'includeexpr', can be used to modify file name found by 'include'
option.
Also use 'includeexpr' for "gf" and "<cfile>" when the file can't be found
without modification. Useful for doing "gf" on the name after an include or
import statement.
Added the 'cdpath' option: Locations to find a ":cd" argument. (Raf)
Added the 'suffixesadd' option: Suffixes to be added to a file name when
searching for a file for the "gf", "[I", etc. commands.
Writing files improved *new-file-writing*
Added the 'backupcopy' option: Select whether a file is to be copied or renamed to make a backup file. Useful on Unix to speed up writing an ordinary file. Useful on other systems to preserve file attributes and when editing a file on a Unix filesystem. Added the 'autowriteall' option. Works like 'autowrite' but for more commands. Added the 'backupskip' option: A list of file patterns to skip making a backup file when it matches. The default for Unix includes "/tmp/*", this makes "crontab -e" work. Added support for Access Control Lists (ACL) for FreeBSD and Win32. The ACL is copied from the original file to the new file (or the backup if it's copied). ACL is also supported for AIX, Solaris and generic POSIX. (Tomas Ogren) And on SGI. Argument list *new-argument-list*
The support for the argument list has been extended. It can now be manipulated to contain the files you want it to contain. The argument list can now be local to a window. It is created with the |:arglocal| command. The |:argglobal| command can be used to go back to the global argument list. The |:argdo| command executes a command on all files in the argument list. File names can be added to the argument list with |:argadd|. File names can be removed with |:argdelete|. "##" can be used like "#", it is replaced by all the names in the argument list concatenated. Useful for ":grep foo ##". The |:argedit| adds a file to the argument list and edits it. Like ":argadd" and then ":edit". Restore a View *new-View*
The ":mkview" command writes a Vim script with the settings and mappings for one window. When the created file is sourced, the view of the window is restored. It's like ":mksession" for one window. The View also contains the local argument list and manually created, opened and closed folds. Added the ":loadview" command and the 'viewdir' option: Allows for saving and restoring views of a file with simple commands. ":mkview 1" saves view 1 for the current file, ":loadview 1" loads it again. Also allows quickly switching between two views on one file. And saving and restoring manual folds and the folding state. Added 'viewoptions' to specify how ":mkview" works. ":mksession" now also works fine with vertical splits. It has been further improved and restores the view of each window. It also works properly with preview and quickfix windows. 'sessionoptions' is used for ":mkview" as well. Added "curdir" and "sesdir" to 'sessionoptions'. Allows selection of what the current directory will be restored to. The session file now also contains the argument list(s). Color schemes *new-color-schemes*
Support for loading a color scheme. Added the ":colorscheme" command. Automatically add menu entries for available schemes. Should now properly reset the colors when 'background' or 't_Co' is changed. ":highlight clear" sets the default colors again. ":syntax reset" sets the syntax highlight colors back to the defaults. For ":set bg&" guess the value. This allows a color scheme to switch back to the default colors. When syntax highlighting is switched on and a color scheme was defined, reload the color scheme to define the colors. Various new items *new-items-6*
Normal mode commands:"gi" Jump to the ^ mark and start Insert mode. Also works when the mark is just after the line. |gi| "g'm" and "g`m" Jump to a mark without changing the jumplist. Now you can use g`" to jump to the last known position in a file without side effects. Also useful in mappings. [', [`, ]' and ]` move the cursor to the next/previous lowercase mark. g_ Go to last non-blank in line. (Steve Wall)Options:'autoread' When detected that a file changed outside of Vim, automatically read a buffer again when it's not changed. It has a global and a local value. Use ":setlocal autoread<" to go back to using the global value for 'autoread'. 'debug' When set to "msg" it will print error messages that would otherwise be omitted. Useful for debugging 'indentexpr' and 'foldexpr'. 'lispwords' List of words used for lisp indenting. It was previously hard coded. Added a number of Lisp names to the default. 'fold...' Many new options for folding. 'modifiable' When off, it is impossible to make changes to a buffer. The %m and %M items in 'statusline' show a '-'. 'previewwindow' Set in the preview window. Used in a session file to mark a window as the preview window. 'printfont' 'printexpr' 'printheader' 'printdevice' 'printoptions' for ":hardcopy". 'buflisted' Makes a buffer appear in the buffer list or not. Use "vim{version}:" for modelines, only to be executed when the version is >={version}. Also "vim>{version}", "vim<{version}" and "vim={version}".Ex commands::sav[eas][!]{file}Works like ":w file" and ":e #", but without loading the file again and avoiding other side effects. |:saveas| :silent[!]{cmd}Execute a command silently. Also don't use a delay that would come after the message. And don't do 'showmatch'. RISCOS: Removed that "!~cmd" didn't output anything, and didn't wait for<Enter>afterwards. Can use ":silent !cmd" now. :menu<silent>Add a menu that won't echo Ex commands. :map<silent>Add a mapping that won't echo Ex commands. :checktime Check for changed buffers. :verbose{cmd}Set 'verbose' for one command. :echomsg{expr}:echoerr{expr}Like ":echo" but store the message in the history. (Mark Waggoner) :grepadd Works just like ":grep" but adds to the current error list instead of defining a new list. |:grepadd| :finish Finish sourcing a file. Can be used to skip the rest of a Vim script. |:finish| :leftabove :aboveleft Split left/above current window. :rightbelow :belowright Split right/below current window. :first, :bfirst, :ptfirst, etc. Alias for ":rewind". It's more logical compared to ":last". :enew Edit a new, unnamed buffer. This is needed, because ":edit" re-edits the same file. (Wall) :quitall Same as ":qall". :match Define match highlighting local to a window. Allows highlighting an item in the current window without interfering with syntax highlighting. :menu enable :menu disable Commands to enable/disable menu entries without removing them. (Monish Shah) :windo Execute a command in all windows. :bufdo Execute a command in all buffers. :wincmd Window (CTRL-W) command. Useful when a Normal mode command can't be used (e.g., for a CursorHold autocommand). See |CursorHold-example| for a nice application with it. :lcd and :lchdir Set local directory for a window. (Benjie Chen) :hide{command}Execute{command}with 'hidden' set. :emenu in Visual mode to execute a ":vmenu" entry. :popup Pop up a popup menu. :redraw Redraw the screen even when busy with a script or function. :hardcopy Print to paper. :compiler Load a Vim script to do settings for a specific compiler. :z# List numbered lines. (Bohdan Vlasyuk)New marks:'( and ') Begin or end of current sentence. Useful in Ex commands. '{ and '}Begin or end of current paragraph. Useful in Ex commands. '. Position of the last change in the current buffer. '^ Position where Insert mode was stopped. Store the ^ and . marks in the viminfo file. Makes it possible to jump to the last insert position or changed text.New functions:argidx() Current index in argument list. buflisted() Checks if the buffer exists and has 'buflisted' set. cindent() Get indent according to 'cindent'. eventhandler() Returns 1 when inside an event handler and interactive commands can't be used. executable() Checks if a program or batch script can be executed. filewritable() Checks if a file can be written. (Ron Aaron) foldclosed() Find out if there is a closed fold. (Johannes Zellner). foldcloseend() Find the end of a closed fold. foldlevel() Find out the foldlevel. (Johannes Zellner) foreground() Move the GUI window to the foreground. getchar() Get one character from the user. Can be used to define a mapping that takes an argument. getcharmod() Get last used key modifier. getbufvar() gets the value of an option or local variable in a buffer (Ron Aaron) getfsize() Return the size of a file. getwinvar() gets the value of an option or local variable in a window (Ron Aaron) globpath() Find matching files in a list of directories. hasmapto() Detect if a mapping to a string is already present. iconv() Convert a string from one encoding to another. indent() gets the indent of a line (Ron Aaron) inputdialog() Like input() but use a GUI dialog when possible. Currently only works for Win32, Motif, Athena and GTK. Use inputdialog() for the Edit/Settings/Text Width menu. Also for the Help/Find.. and Toolbar FindHelp items. (Win32 support by Thore B. Karlsen) (Win16 support by Vince Negri) inputsecret() Ask the user to type a string without showing the typed keys. (Charles Campbell) libcall() for Unix (Neil Bird, Johannes Zellner, Stephen Wall) libcallnr() for Win32 and Unix lispindent() Get indent according to 'lisp'. mode() Return a string that indicates the current mode. nextnonblank() Skip blank lines forwards. prevnonblank() Skip blank lines backwards. Useful to for indent scripts. resolve() MS-Windows: resolve a shortcut to the file it points to. Unix: resolve a symbolic link. search() Search for a pattern. searchpair() Search for matching pair. Can be used in indent files to find the "if" matching an endif. setbufvar() sets an option or variable local to a buffer (Ron Aaron) setwinvar() sets an option or variable local to a window (Ron Aaron) stridx() Search for first occurrence of one string in another. strridx() Search for last occurrence of one string in another. tolower() Convert string to all-lowercase. toupper() Convert string to all-uppercase. type() Check the type of an expression. wincol() window column of the cursor winwidth() Width of a window. (Johannes Zellner) winline() window line of the cursor Added expansion of curly braces in variable and function names. This can be used for variable names that include the value of an option. Or a primitive form of arrays. (Vince Negri)New autocommand events:BufWinEnter Triggered when a buffer is displayed in a window, after using the modelines. Can be used to load a view. BufWinLeave Triggered when a buffer is no longer in a window. Also triggered when exiting Vim. Can be used to save views. FileChangedRO Triggered before making the first change to a read-only file. Can be used to check-out the file. (Scott Graham) TermResponse Triggered when the terminal replies to the version-request. The v:termresponse internal variable holds the result. Can be used to react to the version of the terminal. (Ronald Schild) FileReadCmd Triggered before reading a file. BufReadCmd Triggered before reading a file into a buffer. FileWriteCmd Triggered before writing a file. BufWriteCmd Triggered before writing a buffer into a file. FileAppendCmd Triggered before appending to a file. FuncUndefined Triggered when a user function is not defined. (Ron Aaron) The autocommands for the *Cmd events read or write the file instead of normal file read/write. Use this in netrw.vim to be able to edit files on a remote system. (Charles Campbell)New Syntax files:bdf BDF font definition (Nikolai Weibull) catalog SGML catalog (Johannes Zellner) debchangelog Debian Changelog (Wichert Akkerman) debcontrol Debian Control (Wichert Akkerman) dot dot (Markus Mottl) dsl DSSSL syntax (Johannes Zellner) eterm Eterm configuration (Nikolai Weibull) indent Indent profile (Nikolai Weibull) lftp LFTP (Nikolai Weibull) lynx Lynx config (Doug Kearns) mush mush sourcecode (Bek Oberin) natural Natural (Marko Leipert) pilrc Pal resource compiler (Brian Schau) plm PL/M (Philippe Coulonges) povini Povray configuration (David Necas) ratpoison Ratpoison config/command (Doug Kearns) readline readline config (Nikolai Weibull) screen Screen RC (Nikolai Weibull) specman Specman (Or Freund) sqlforms SQL*Forms (Austin Ziegler) terminfo terminfo (Nikolai Weibull) tidy Tidy configuration (Doug Kearns) wget Wget configuration (Doug Kearns) Updated many syntax files to work both with Vim 5.7 and 6.0. Interface to Ruby. (Shugo Maeda) Support dynamic loading of the Ruby interface on MS-Windows. (Muraoka Taro) Support this for Mingw too. (Benoit Cerrina) Win32: Added possibility to load TCL dynamically. (Muraoka Taro) Also for Borland 5.5. (Dan Sharp) Win32: When editing a file that is a shortcut (*.lnk file), edit the file it links to. Unless 'binary' is set, then edit the shortcut file itself. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) The ":command" command now accepts a "-bar" argument. This allows the user command to be followed by "| command". The preview window is now also used by these commands: - |:pedit| edits the specified file in the preview window - |:psearch| searches for a word in included files, like |:ijump|, and displays the found text in the preview window. Added theCTRL-WP command: go to preview window. MS-DOS and MS-Windows also read the system-wide vimrc file $VIM/vimrc. Mostly for NT systems with multiple users. A double-click of the mouse on a character that has a "%" match selects from that character to the match. Similar to "v%". "-S session.vim" argument: Source a script file when starting up. Convenient way to start Vim with a session file. Added "--cmd{command}" Vim argument to execute a command before a vimrc file is loaded. (Vince Negri) Added the "-M" Vim argument: reset 'modifiable' and 'write', thus disallow making changes and writing files. Added runtime/delmenu.vim. Source this to remove all menus and prepare for loading new menus. Useful when changing 'langmenu'. Perl script to filter Perl error messages to quickfix usable format. (Joerg Ziefle) Added runtime/macros/less.vim: Vim script to simulate less, but with syntax highlighting. MS-Windows install program: (Jon Merz) - The Win32 program can now create shortcuts on the desktop and install Vim in the Start menu. - Possibly remove old "Edit with Vim" entries. - The Vim executable is never moved or $PATH changed. A small batch file is created in a directory in $PATH. Fewer choices to be made. - Detect already installed Vim versions and offer to uninstall them first. Improved the MS-Windows uninstal program. It now also deletes the entries in the Start menu, icons from the desktop and the created batch files. (Jon Merz) Also made it possible to delete only some of these. Also unregister gvim for OLE. Generate a self-installing Vim package for MS-Windows. This uses NSIS. (Jon Merz et al.) Added ":filetype detect". Try detecting the filetype again. Helps when writing a new shell script, after adding "#!/bin/csh". Added ":augroup! name" to delete an autocommand group. Needed for the client-server "--remote-wait". Add the Vim version number to the viminfo file, useful for debugging.
IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-6* Added the 'n' flag in 'cpoptions': When omitted text of wrapped lines is not put between line numbers from 'number' option. Makes it a lot easier to read wrapped lines. When there is a format error in a tags file, the byte position is reported so that the error can be located. "gf" works in Visual mode: Use the selected text as the file name. (Chase Tingley) Allow ambiguous mappings. Thus "aa" and "aaa" can both be mapped, the longest matching one is used. Especially useful for ":lmap" and 'keymap'. Encryption: Ask the key to be typed twice when crypting the first time. Otherwise a typo might cause the text to be lost forever. (Chase Tingley) The window title now has "VIM" on the end. The file name comes first, useful in the taskbar. A "+" is added when the file is modified. "=" is added for a read-only file. "-" is added for a file with 'modifiable' off. In Visual mode, mention the size of the selected area in the 'showcmd' position. Added the "b:changedtick" variable. Incremented at each change, also for undo. Can be used to take action only if the buffer has been changed. In the replacement string of a ":s" command "\=" can be used to replace with the result of an expression. From this expression the submatch() function can be used to access submatches. When doing ":qall" and there is a change in a buffer that is being edited in another window, jump to that window, instead of editing that buffer in the current window. Added the "++enc=" and "++ff=" arguments to file read/write commands to force using the given 'encoding' or 'fileformat'. And added the "v:cmdarg" variable, to be used for FileReadCmd autocommands that read/write the file themselves. When reading stdin, first read the text in binary mode and then re-read it with automatic selection of 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding'. This avoids problems with not being able to rewind the file (e.g., when a line near the end of the file ends in LF instead of CR-LF). When reading text from stdin and the buffer is empty, don't mark it changed. Allows exiting without trouble. Added an ID to many error messages. This will make it easier to find help for a message. Insert mode: - "CTRL-Gj" and "CTRL-Gk" can be used to insert in another line in the same column. Useful for editing a table. - Added Thesaurus completion withCTRL-XCTRL-T. (Vince Negri) - Added the 'thesaurus' option, to use instead of 'dictionary' for thesaurus completion. Added the 's' flag in 'complete'. - MadeCTRL-XCTRL-Lin Insert mode use the 'complete' option. It now also scans other loaded buffers for matching lines. -CTRL-Rnow also works in Insert mode while doing completion withCTRL-XorCTRL-N. (Neil Bird) - When doing Insert mode completion, when completion is finished check for a match with words from 'cinkeys' or 'indentkeys'. Performance: - Made display updating more efficient. Insert/delete lines may be used for all changes, also for undo/redo. - The display is not redrawn when there is typeahead in Insert mode. Speeds upCTRL-Ra lot. - Improved speed of screen output for 32 bit DOS version. (Vince Negri) - When dragging with the mouse, there is a lookahead to skip mouse codes when there is another one next. Makes dragging with the mouse a lot faster. - Also a memory usage improvement: When calling u_save with a single line, don't save it if the line was recently saved for the same undo already. - When using a script that appends one character at a time, the amount of allocated memory was growing steadily. Also when 'undolevels' is -1. Caused by the line saved for "U" never to be freed. Now free an undo block when it becomes empty. - GUI and Dos32: Use a vertical scroll region, to make scrolling in a vertically split window faster. No need to redraw the whole window. - When scrolling isn't possible with terminal codes (e.g., for a vertically split window) redraw from ScreenLines[]. That should be faster than going through the lines with win_line(), especially when using syntax highlighting. - The Syntax menu is now pre-generated by a separate script. Makes loading the menu 70% faster. This can halve the startup time of gvim. - When doing ":help tag", don't open help.txt first, jump directly to the help tag. It's faster and avoids an extra message. - Win32: When a file name doesn't end in ".lnk" don't try resolving a shortcut, it takes quite a bit of time. - Don't update the mouse pointer shape while there are typeahead characters. - Change META[] from a string into an array, avoids using strchr() on it. - Don't clear the command line when adding characters, avoids that screen_fill is called but doesn't do anything. Robustness: - Unix: Check for running out of stack space when executing a regexp. Avoids a nasty crash. Only works when the system supports running the signal function on another stack. - Disallow ":source<dirname>". On unix it's possible to read a directory, does not make sense to use it as Vim commands. Security: - When reading from or writing to a temporary file, check that it isn't a symbolic link. Gives some protection against symlink attacks. - When creating a backup file copy or a swap file, check for it already existing to avoid a symlink attack. (Colin Phipps) - Evaluating options which are an expression is done in a |sandbox|. If the option was set by a modeline, it cannot cause damage. - Use a secure way to generate temp file names: Create a private directory for temp files. Used for Unix, MS-DOS and OS/2. - 'makeef' can be empty, which means that an internally generated file name is used. The old default was "/tmp/file", which is a security risk. Writing 'makeef' in the current directory fails in a read-only directory and causes trouble when using ":grep" on all files. Made the default empty for all systems, so that a temp file is used. - The command from a tags file is executed in the sandbox for better security. - The Ruby, Tcl and Python interfaces cannot be used from the sandbox. They might do dangerous things. Perl is still possible, but limited to the Safe environment. (Donnie Smith) Syntax highlighting: - Optimized the speed by caching the state stack all over the file, not just the part being displayed. Required for folding. - Added ":syntax sync fromstart": Always parse from the start of the file. - Added the "display" argument for syntax items: use the item only when displaying the result. Can make parsing faster for text that isn't going to be displayed. - When usingCTRL-L, the cached states are deleted, to force parsing the text again. - Use elfhash algorithm for table of keywords. This should give a better distribution and speedup keyword lookup. (Campbell) - Also allow the "lc" leading context for skip and end patterns. (Scott Bigham) - Syntax items can have the "extend" argument to undo the effect of a "keepend" argument of an item it is contained in. Makes it possible to have some contained items extend a region while others don't. - ":syntax clear" now deletes the b:current_syntax variable. That's logical, since no syntax is defined after this command. - Added ":syntax enable": switch on syntax highlighting without changing the colors. This allows specifying the colors in the .vimrc file without the need for a mysyntaxfile. - Added ":syntax reset": reset the colors to their defaults. - Added the "contains=TOP" and "contains=CONTAINED" arguments. Makes it possible to define a transparent item that doesn't contain itself. - Added a "containedin" argument to syntax items. Allows adding a contained item to an existing item (e.g., to highlight a name in a comment). Modeless selection: - When in the command-line window, use modeless selection in the other windows. Makes it possible to copy visible text to the command-line window. - Support modeless selection on the cmdline in a terminal. Previously it was only possible for the GUI. - Make double-right-click in modeless selection select a whole word. Single right click doesn't use the word selection started by a double-left-click. Makes it work like in Visual mode. - The modeless selection no longer has an implied automatic copy to the clipboard. It now obeys the 'a' and 'A' flags in 'guioptions' or "autoselect" and "autoselectml" in 'clipboard'. - Added theCTRL-Ycommand in Cmdline-mode to copy the modeless selection to the clipboard. Also works at the hit-enter prompt and the more prompt. Removed the mappings in runtime/mswin.vim forCTRL-YandCTRL-Zin cmdline-mode to be able to useCTRL-Yin the new way. Reduced the amount of stack space used by regmatch() to allow it to handle complicated patterns on a longer text. 'isfname' now includes '%' and '#'. Makes "vim dir\#file" work for MS-DOS. Added keypad special keys<kEnter>,<k0>-<k9>. When not mapped they behave like the ASCII equivalent. (Ivan Wellesz and Vince Negri) Recognize a few more xterm keys:<C-Right>,<C-Left>,<C-End>,<C-Home>Also trigger the BufUnload event when Vim is going to exit. Perhaps a script needs to do some cleaning up. Expand expression in backticks: `={expr}`. Can be used where backtick expansion is done. (Vince Negri) GUI: - Added 'L' and 'R' flags in 'guioptions': Add a left or right scrollbar only when there is a vertically split window. - X11: When a color can't be allocated, use the nearest match from the colormap. This avoids that black is used for many things. (Monish Shah) Also do this for the menu and scrollbar, to avoid that they become black. - Win32 and X11: Added 'mouseshape' option: Adjust the mouse pointer shape to the current mode. (Vince Negri) - Added the 'linespace' option: Insert a pixel line between lines. (Nam) - Allow modeless selection (without moving the cursor) by keeping CTRL and SHIFT pressed. (Ivan Wellesz) - Motif: added toolbar. (Gordon Prieur) Also added tooltips. - Athena: added toolbar and tooltips. (David Harrison -- based on Gordon Prieur's work) - Made the 'toolbar' option work for Athena and Motif. Can now switch between text and icons on the fly. (David Harrison) - Support menu separator lines for Athena. (David Harrison) - Athena: Adjust the arrow pixmap used in a pullright menu to the size of the font. (David Harrison) - Win32: Added "c" flag to 'guifont' to be able to specify the charset. (Artem Khodush) - When no --enable-xim argument is given, automatically enable it when a X GUI is used. Required for dead key support (and multi-byte input). - After a file selection dialog, check that the edited files were not changed or deleted. The Win32 dialog allows deleting and renaming files. - Motif and Athena: Added support for "editres". (Martin Dalecki) - Motif and Athena: Added "menuFont" to be able to specify a font or fontset for the menus. Can also be set with the "Menu" highlight group. Useful when the locale is different from 'encoding'. (David Harrison) When FONTSET_ALWAYS is defined, always use a fontset for the menus. Should avoid trouble with changing from a font to a fontset. (David Harrison) - Highlighting and font for the tooltips can be specified with the "Tooltip" highlight group. (David Harrison) - The Cmdline-mode menus can be used at the more-prompt. This mostly works fine, because they start with aCTRL-C. The "Copy" menu works to copy the modeless selection. Allows copying the output of ":set all" or ":intro" without auto-selection. - When starting the GUI when there is no terminal connected to stdout and stderr, display error messages in a dialog. Previously they wouldn't be displayed at all. - Allow setting 'browsedir' to the name of a directory, to be used for the file dialog. (Dan Sharp) - b:browsefilter and g:browsefilter can be set to the filters used for the file dialog. Supported for Win32 and Motif GUI. (Dan Sharp) X11: - Support for the clipboard selection as register "+. When exiting or suspending copy the selection to cut buffer 0. Should allow copy/paste with more applications in a X11-standard way. (Neil Bird) - Use the X clipboard in any terminal, not just in an xterm. Added "exclude:" in 'clipboard': Specify a pattern to match against terminal names for which no connection should be made to the X server. The default currently work for FreeBSD and Linux consoles. - Added a few messages for when 'verbose' is non-zero to show what happens when trying to connect to the X server. Should help when trying to find out why startup is slow. GTK GUI: (partly by Marcin Dalecki) - With some fonts the characters can be taller than ascent + descent. E.g., "-misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1". Add one to the character cell height. - Implement "no" value for 'winaltkeys': don't use Alt-Key as a menu shortcut, when 'wak' changed after creating the menus. - Setting 'wak' after the GUI started works. - recycle text GC's to reduce communication. - Adjust icon size to window manager. - Cleanup in font handling. - Replace XQueryColor with GDK calls. - Gnome support. Detects Gnome in configure and uses different widgets. Otherwise it's much like GTK. (Andy Kahn) It is disabled by default, because it causes a few problems. - Removed the special code to fork first and then start the GUI. Now use _exit() instead of exit(), this works fine without special tricks. - Dialogs sometimes appeared a bit far away. Position the dialogs inside the gvim window. (Brent Verner) - When dropping a file on Vim, remove extra slashes from the start of the path. Also shorten the file name if possible. Motif: (Martin Dalecki) - Made the dialog layout better. - Added find and find/replace dialogs. - For the menus, change "iso-8859" to "iso_8859", Linux appears to need this. - Added icon to dialogs, like for GTK. - Use XPM bitmaps for the icon when possible. Use the Solaris XpmP.h include file when it's available. - Change the shadow of the toolbar items to get a visual feedback of it being pressed on non-LessTiff. - Use gadgets instead of windows for some items for speed. Command line completion: - Complete environment variable names. (Mike Steed) - For ":command", added a few completion methods: "mapping", "function", "expression" and "environment". - When a function doesn't take arguments, let completion add () instead of (. For MS-DOS, MS-Windows and OS/2: Expand %VAR% environment variables like $VAR. (Walter Briscoe) Redirect messages to the clipboard ":redir @*" and to the unnamed register ":redir @"". (Wall) ":let @/ = ''" clears the search pattern, instead of setting it to an empty string. Expression evaluation: - "? :" can be used like in C. - col("$") returns the length of the cursor line plus one. (Stephen P. Wall) - Optional extra argument for match(), matchend() and matchstr(): Offset to start looking for a match. - Made third argument to strpart() optional. (Paul Moore, Zdenek Sekera) - exists() can also be used to check for Ex commands and defined autocommands. - Added extra argument to input(): Default text. - Also set "v:errmsg" when using ":silent! cmd". - Added the v:prevcount variable: v:count for the previous command. - Added "v:progname", name with which Vim was started. (Vince Negri) - In the verbose message about returning from a function, also show the return value. Cscope: - Added the cscope_connection() function. (Andy Kahn) - ":cscope kill -1" kills all cscope connections. (Andy Kahn) - Added the 'cscopepathcomp' option. (Scott Hauck) - Added ":scscope" command, split window and execute Cscope command. (Jason Duell) VMS: - Command line arguments are always uppercase. Interpret a "-X" argument as "-x" and "-/X" as "-X". - Set 'makeprg' and 'grepprg' to meaningful defaults. (Zoltan Arpadffy) - Use the X-clipboard feature and the X command server. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Macintosh: (Dany St-Amant) - Allow a tags file to have CR, CR-LF or LF line separator. (Axel Kielhorn) - Carbonized (while keeping non Carbon code) (Some work "stolen" from Ammon Skidmore) - Improved the menu item index handling (should be faster) - Runtime commands now handle / in file name (MacOS 9 version) - Added ":winpos" support. - Support using "~" in file names for home directory. Options: - When using set += or ^= , check for items used twice. Duplicates are removed. (Vince Negri) - When setting an option that is a list of flags, remove duplicate flags. - If possible, use getrlimit() to set 'maxmemtot' and 'maxmem'. (Pina) - Added "alpha" to 'nrformats': increment or decrement an alphabetic character withCTRL-AandCTRL-X. - ":set opt&vi" sets an option to its Vi default, ":set opt&vim" to its Vim default. Useful to set 'cpo' to its Vim default without knowing what flags that includes. - 'scrolloff' now also applies to a long, wrapped line that doesn't fit in the window. - Added more option settings to the default menus. - Updated the option window with new options. Made it a bit easier to read. Internal changes: - Split line pointers in text part and attributes part. Allows for future change to make attribute more than one byte. - Provide a qsort() function for systems that don't have it. - Changed the big switch for Normal mode commands into a table. This cleans up the code considerably and avoids trouble for some optimizing compilers. - Assigned a negative value to special keys, to avoid them being mixed up with Unicode characters. - Global variables expand_context and expand_pattern were not supposed to be global. Pass them to ExpandOne() and all functions called by it. - No longer use the global reg_ic flag. It caused trouble and in a few places it was not set. - Removed the use of the stuff buffer for "*", "K", CTRL-], etc. Avoids problem with autocommands. - Moved some code from ex_docmd.c to ex_cmds2.c. The file was getting too big. Also moved some code from screen.c to move.c. - Don't include the CRC table for encryption, generate it. Saves quite a bit of space in the source code. (Matthias Kramm) - Renamed multibyte.c to mbyte.c to avoid a problem with 8.3 filesystems. - Removed the GTK implementation of ":findhelp", it now uses the ToolBar.FindHelp menu entry. - Renamed mch_windexit() to mch_exit(), mch_init() to mch_early_init() and mch_shellinit() to mch_init(). Highlighting: - In a ":highlight" listing, show "xxx" with the highlight color. - Added support for xterm with 88 or 256 colors. The right color numbers will be used for the name used in a ":highlight" command. (Steve Wall) - Added "default" argument for ":highlight". When included, the command is ignored if highlighting for the group was already defined. All syntax files now use ":hi default ..." to allow the user to specify colors in his vimrc file. Also, the "if did_xxx_syntax_inits" is not needed anymore. This greatly simplifies using non-default colors for a specific language. - Adjusted colortest.vim: Included colors on normal background and reduced the size by using a while loop. (Rafael Garcia-Suarez) - Added the "DarkYellow" color name. Just to make the list of standard colors consistent, it's not really a nice color to use. When an xterm is in 8-bit mode this is detected by the code returned for |t_RV|. All key codes are automatically converted to their 8-bit versions. The OPT_TCAP_QUERY in xterm patch level 141 and later is used to obtain the actual key codes used and the number of colors for t_Co. Only when |t_RV| is also used. ":browse set" now also works in the console mode. ":browse edit" will give an error message. ":bdelete" and ":bunload" only report the number of deleted/unloaded buffers when more than 'report'. The message was annoying when deleting a buffer in a script. Jump list: - The number of marks kept in the jumplist has been increased from 50 to 100. - The jumplist is now stored in the viminfo file.CTRL-Ocan be used to jump to positions from a previous edit session. - When doing ":split" copy the jumplist to the new window. Also set the '[ and '] marks for the "~" and "r" commands. These marks are now always set when making a change with a Normal mode command. Python interface: Allow setting the width of a vertically split window. (John Cook) Added "=word" and "=~word" to 'cinkeys' (also used in 'indentkeys'). Added "j1" argument in 'cinoptions': indent{}inside () for Java. (Johannes Zellner) Added the "l" flag in 'cinoptions'. (Anduin Withers) Added 'C', 'U', 'w' and 'm' flags to 'cinoptions'. (Servatius Brandt) When doing ":wall" or ":wqall" and a modified buffer doesn't have a name, mention its buffer number in the error message. ":function Name" lists the function with line numbers. Makes it easier to find out where an error happened. In non-blockwise Visual mode, "r" replaces all selected characters with the typed one, like in blockwise Visual mode. When editing the last file in the argument list in any way, allow exiting. Previously this was only possible when getting to that file with ":next" or ":last". Added the '1' flag to 'formatoptions'. (Vit Stradal) Added 'n' flag in 'formatoptions': format a numbered list. Swap file: - When a swap file already exists, and the user selects "Delete" at the ATTENTION prompt, use the same ".swp" swapfile, to avoid creating a ".swo" file which won't always be found. - When giving the ATTENTION message and the date of the file is newer than the date of swap file, give a warning about this. - Made the info for an existing swap file a bit shorter, so that it still fits on a 24 line screen. - It was possible to make a symlink with the name of a swap file, linking to a file that doesn't exist. Vim would then silently use another file (if open with O_EXCL refuses a symlink). Now check for a symlink to exist. Also do another check for an existing swap file just before creating it to catch a symlink attack. The gCTRL-Gcommand also works in Visual mode and counts the number of words. (Chase Tingley) Give an error message when using 'shell' and it's empty. Added the possibility to include "%s" in 'shellpipe'. Added "uhex" value for 'display': show non-printable characters as<xx>. Show unprintable characters with NonText highlighting, also in the command line. When asked to display the value of a hidden option, tell it's not supported. Win32: - When dropping a shortcut on gvim (.lnk file) edit the target, not the shortcut itself. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) - Added C versions of the OpenWithVim and SendToVim programs. (Walter Briscoe) - When 'shell' is "cmd" or "cmd.exe", set 'shellredir' to redirect stderr too. Also check for the Unix shell names. - When $HOMEDRIVE and $HOMEPATH are defined, use them to define $HOME. (Craig Barkhouse) Win32 console version: - Includes the user and system name in the ":version" message, when available. It generates a pathdef.c file for this. (Jon Miner) - Set the window icon to Vim's icon (only for Windows 2000). While executing a shell command, modify the window title to show this. When exiting, restore the cursor position too. (Craig Barkhouse) - The Win32 console version can be compiled with OLE support. It can only function as a client, not as an OLE server. Errorformat: - Let "%p" in 'errorformat' (column of error indicated by a row of characters) also accept a line of dots. - Added "%v" item in 'errorformat': Virtual column number. (Dan Sharp) - Added a default 'errorformat' value for VMS. (Jim Bush) The "p" command can now be used in Visual mode. It overwrites the selected text with the contents of a register. Highlight the<>items in the intro message to make clear they are special. When using the "c" flag for ":substitute", allow typing "l" for replacing this item and then stop: "last". When printing a verbose message about sourcing another file, print the line number. When resizing the Vim window, don't use 'equalalways'. Avoids that making the Vim window smaller makes split windows bigger. And it's what the docs say. When typingCTRL-Din Insert mode, just after an autoindent, then hitting CR kept the remaining white space. Now made it work like BS: delete the autoindent to avoid a blank non-empty line results. Added a GetHwnd() call to the OLE interface. (Vince Negri) Made ":normal" work in an event handler. Useful when dropping a file on Vim and for CursorHold autocommands. For the MS-Windows version, don't change to the directory of the file when a slash is used instead of a backslash. Explorer should always use a backslash, the user can use a slash when typing the command. Timestamps: - When a buffer was changed outside of Vim and regaining focus, give a dialog to allow the user to reload the file. Now also for other GUIs than MS-Windows. And also used in the console, when compiled with dialog support. - Inspect the file contents to find out if it really changed, ignore situations where only the time stamp changed (e.g., checking the file out from CVS). - When checking the timestamp, first check if the file size changed, to avoid a file compare then. Makes it quicker for large (log) files that are appended to. - Don't give a warning for a changed or deleted file when 'buftype' is set. - No longer warn for a changed directory. This avoids that the file explorer produces warnings. - Checking timestamps is only done for buffers that are not hidden. These will be checked when they become unhidden. - When checking for a file being changed outside of Vim, also check if the file permissions changed. When the file contents didn't change but the permissions did, give a warning. - Avoid checking too often, otherwise the dialog keeps popping up for a log file that steadily grows. Mapping<M-A>when 'encoding' is "latin1" and then setting 'encoding' to "utf-8" causes the first byte of a multi-byte to be mapped. Can cause very hard to find problems. Disallow mapping part of a multi-byte character. For ":python" and ":tcl" accept an in-line script. (Johannes Zellner) Also for ":ruby" and ":perl". (Benoit Cerrina) Made ":syn include" use 'runtimepath' when the file name is not a full path. When 'switchbuf' contains "split" and the current window is empty, don't split the window. Unix: Catch SIGPWR to preserve files when the power is about to go down. Sniff interface: (Anton Leherbauer) - fixed windows code, esp. the event handling stuff - adaptations for sniff 4.x ($SNIFF_DIR4) - support for adding sniff requests at runtime Support the notation<A-x>as an alias for<M-x>. This logical, since the Alt key is used. ":find" accepts a count, which means that the count'th match in 'path' is used. ":ls" and ":buffers" output shows modified/readonly/modifiable flag. When a buffer is active show "a" instead of nothing. When a buffer isn't loaded show nothing instead of "-". Unix install: - When installing the tools, set absolute paths in tools scripts efm_perl.pl and mve.awk. Avoids that the user has to edit these files. - Install Icons for KDE when the directories exist and the icons do not exist yet. Added has("win95"), to be able to distinguish between MS-Windows 95/98/ME and NT/2000/XP in a Vim script. When a ":cd" command was typed, echo the new current directory. (Dan Sharp) When using ":winpos" before the GUI window has been opened, remember the values until it is opened. In the ":version" output, add "/dyn" for features that are dynamically loaded. This indicates the feature may not always work. On Windows NT it is possible that a directory is read-only, but a file can be deleted. When making a backup by renaming the file and 'backupdir' doesn't use the current directory, this causes the original file to be deleted, without the possibility to create a new file. Give an extra error message then to warn to user about this. MadeCTRL-RCTRL-Oat the command line work likeCTRL-RCTRL-R, so that it's consistent with Insert mode.
COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-6* All generated files have been moved out of the "src" directory. This makes it easy to see which files are not edited by hand. The files generated by configure are now in the "src/auto" directory. For Unix, compiled object files go in the objects directory. The source archive was over the 1.4M floppy limit. The archives are now split up into two runtime and two source archives. Also provide a bzip2 compressed archive that contains all the sources and runtime files. Added "reconfig" as a target for make. Useful when changing some of the arguments that require flushing the cache, such as switching from GTK to Motif. Adjusted the meaning of GUI_INC_LOC and GUI_LIB_LOC to be consistent over different GUIs. Added src/README.txt to give an overview of the main parts of the source code. The Unix Makefile now fully supports using $(DESTDIR) to install to a specific location. Replaces the manual setting of *ENDLOC variables. Added the possibility for a maintainer of a binary version to include his e-mail address with the --with-compiledby configure argument. Included features are now grouped in "tiny", "small", "normal", "big" and "huge". This replaces "min-features" and "max-features". Using "tiny" disables multiple windows for a really small Vim. For the tiny version or when FEAT_WINDOWS is not defined: Firstwin and lastwin are equal to curwin and don't use w_next and w_prev. Added the +listcmds feature. Can be used to compile without the Vim commands that manipulate the buffer list and argument list (the buffer list itself is still there, can't do without it). Added the +vreplace feature. It is disabled in the "small" version to avoid that the 16 bit DOS version runs out of memory. Removed GTK+ support for versions older than 1.1.16. The configure checks for using PTYs have been improved. Code taken from a recent version of screen. Added configure options to install Vim, Ex and View under another name (e.g., vim6, ex6 and view6). Added "--with-global-runtime" configure argument. Allows specifying the global directory used in the 'runtimepath' default. Made enabling the SNiFF+ interface possible with a configure argument. Configure now always checks /usr/local/lib for libraries and /usr/local/include for include files. Helps finding the stuff for iconv() and gettext(). Moved the command line history stuff into the +cmdline_hist feature, to exclude the command line history from the tiny version. MS-Windows: Moved common functions from Win16 and Win32 to os_mswin.c. Avoids having to change two files for one problem. (Vince Negri) Moved common code from gui_w16.c and gui_w32.c to gui_w48.c (Vince Negri) The jumplist is now a separate feature. It is disabled for the "small" version (16 bit MS-DOS). Renamed all types ending in _t to end in _T. Avoids potential problems with system types. Added a configure check for X11 header files that implicitly define the return type to int. (Steve Wall) "make doslang" in the top directory makes an archive with the menu and .mo files for Windows. This uses the files generated on Unix, these should work on MS-Windows as well. Merged a large part of os_vms.c with os_unix.c. The code was duplicated in the past which made maintenance more work. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Updated the Borland C version 5 Makefile: (Dan Sharp) - Fixed the Perl build - Added python and tcl builds - Added dynamic perl and dynamic python builds - Added uninstal.exe build - Use "yes" and "no" for the options, like in Make_mvc.mak. Win32: Merged Make_gvc.mak and Make_ovc.mak into one file: Make_ivc.mak. It's much smaller, many unnecessary text has been removed. (Walter Briscoe) Added Make_dvc.mak to be able to debug exe generated with Make_mvc.mak in MS-Devstudio. (Walter Briscoe) MS-Windows: The big gvim.exe, which includes OLE, now also includes dynamically loaded Tcl, Perl and Python. This uses ActivePerl 5.6.1, ActivePython 2.1.1 and ActiveTCL 8.3.3 Added AC_EXEEXT to configure.in, to check if the executable needs ".exe" for Cygwin or MingW. Renamed SUFFIX to EXEEXT in Makefile. Win32: Load comdlg32.dll delayed for faster startup. Only when using VC 6. (Vipin Aravind) Win32: When compiling with Borland, allow using IME. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Win32: Added Makefile for Borland 5 to compile gvimext.dll. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-6* When checking the command name for "gvim", "ex", etc. ignore case. Required for systems where case is ignored in command names. Search pattern "[a-c-e]" also matched a 'd' and didn't match a '-'. When double-clicking in another window, wasn't recognized as double click, because topline is different. Added set_mouse_topline(). The BROKEN_LOCALE check was broken. (Marcin Dalecki) When "t_Co" is set, the default colors remain the same, thus wrong. Reset the colors after changing "t_Co". (Steve Wall) When exiting with ":wqall" the messages about writing files could overwrite each other and be lost forever. When starting Vim with an extremely long file name (around 1024 characters) it would crash. Added a few checks to avoid buffer overflows.CTRL-Ecould get stuck in a file with very long lines. ":au syntax<Tab>" expanded event names while it should expand groups starting with "syntax". When expanding a file name caused an error (e.g., for<amatch>) it was produced even when inside an "if 0". 'cindent' formatted C comments differently from what the 'comments' option specified. (Steve Wall) Default for 'grepprg' didn't include the file name when only grepping in one file. Now /dev/null has been added for Unix. Opening the option window twice caused trouble. Now the cursor goes to the existing option window. ":sview" and ":view" didn't set 'readonly' for an existing buffer. Now do set 'readonly', unless the buffer is also edited in another window. GTK GUI: When 'guioptions' excluded 'g', the more prompt caused the toolbar and menubar to disappear and resize the window (which clears the text). Now always grey-out the toplevel menus to avoid that the menubar changes size or disappears. When re-using the current buffer for a new buffer, buffer-local variables were not deleted. GUI: when 'scrolloff' is 0 dragging the mouse above the window didn't cause a down scroll. Now pass on a mouse event with mouse_row set to -1. Win32: Console version didn't work on telnet, because of switching between two console screens. Now use one console screen and save/restore the contents when needed. (Craig Barkhouse) When reading a file the magic number for encryption was included in the file length. (Antonio Colombo) The quickfix window contained leading whitespace and NULs for multi-line messages. (David Harrison) When using cscope, redundant tags were removed. This caused a numbering problem, because they were all listed. Don't remove redundant cscope tags. (David Bustos). Cscope: Test for which matches are in the current buffer sometimes failed, causing a jump to another match than selected. (David Bustos) Win32: Buffer overflow when adding a charset name in a font. 'titlestring' and 'iconstring' were evaluating an expression in the current context, which could be a user function, which is a problem for local variables vs global variables. Win32 GUI: Mapping<M-F>didn't work. Now handle SHIFT and CTRL in _OnSysChar(). Win32 GUI: (on no file), :vs<CR>:q<CR>left a trail of pixels down the middle. Could also happen for the ruler. screen_puts() didn't clear the right char in ScreenLines[] for the bold trick. Win32: ":%!sort|uniq" didn't work, because the input file name touches the "|". Insert a space before the "|". OS/2: Expanding wildcards included non-existing files. Caused ":runtime" to fail, which caused syntax highlighting to fail. Pasting a register containingCTRL-Ron the command line could cause an endless loop that can't be interrupted. Now it can be stopped withCTRL-C. When 'verbose' is set, a message for file read/write could overwrite the previous message. When 'verbose' is set, the header from ":select" was put after the last message. Now start a new line. The hit-enter prompt reacted to the response of the t_RV string, causing messages at startup to disappear. When t_Co was set to 1, colors were still used. Now only use color when t_Co > 1. Listing functions with ":function" didn't quit when 'q' or ':' was typed at the more prompt. Use mkstemp() instead of mktemp() when it's available, avoids a warning for linking on FreeBSD. When doing Insert mode completion it's possible that b_sfname is NULL. Don't give it to printf() for the "Scanning" message. ":set runtimepath-=$VIMRUNTIME" didn't work, because expansion of wildcards was done after trying to remove the string. Now for ":set opt+=val" and ":set opt-=val" the expansion of wildcards is done before adding or removing "val". UsingCTRL-Vwith the "r" command with a blockwise Visual selection inserted aCTRL-Vinstead of getting a special character. Unix: Changed the order of libraries: Put -lXdmcp after -lX11 and -lSM -lICE after -lXdmcp. Should fix link problem on HP-UX 10.20. Don't remove the last "-lm" from the link line. Vim may link but fail later when the GUI starts. When the shell returns with an error when trying to expand wildcards, do include the pattern when the "EW_NOTFOUND" flag was set. When expanding wildcards with the shell fails, give a clear error message instead of just "1 returned". Selecting a Visual block, with the start partly on a Tab, deleting it leaves the cursor too far to the left. Causes "s" to work in the wrong position. Pound sign in normal.c caused trouble on some compilers. Use 0xA3 instead. Warning for changing a read-only file wasn't given when 'insertmode' was set. Win32: When 'shellxquote' is set to a double quote (e.g., using csh), ":!startnotepad file" doesn't work. Remove the double quotes added by 'shellxquote' when using ":!start". (Pavol Juhas) The "<f-args>" argument of ":command" didn't accept Tabs for white space. Also, don't add an empty argument when there are trailing blanks. ":e test\\je" edited "test\je", but ":next test\\je" edited "testje". Backslashes were removed one time too many for ":next". VMS: "gf" didn't work properly. Use vms_fixfilename() to translate the file name. (Zoltan Arpadffy) After ":hi Normal ctermbg=black ctermfg=white" and suspending Vim not all characters are redrawn with the right background. When doing "make test" without +eval or +windows feature, many tests failed. Now have test1 generate a script to copy the correct output, so that a test that doesn't work is skipped. On FreeBSD the Perl interface added "-lc" to the link command and Python added "-pthread". These two don't work together, because the libc_r library should be used. Removed "-lc" from Perl, it should not be needed. Also: Add "-pthread" to $LIBS, so that the checks for functions is done with libc_r. Sigaltstack() appears to be missing from libc_r. The Syntax sub-menus were getting too long, reorganized them and added another level for some languages. Visual block "r"eplace didn't work well when a Tab is partly included. (Matthias Kramm) When yanking a Visual block, where some lines end halfway the block, putting the text somewhere else doesn't insert a block. Padd with spaces for missing characters. Added "y_width" to struct yankreg. (Matthias Kramm) If a substitute string has a multibyte character after a backslash only the first byte of it was skipped. (Muraoka Taro) Win32: Numeric keypad keys were missing from the builtin termcap entry. When a file was read-only ":wa!" didn't force it to be written. (Vince Negri) Amiga: A file name starting with a colon was considered absolute but it isn't. Amiga: ":pwd" added a slash when in the root of a drive. Don't let 'ttymouse' default to "dec" when compiled with dec mouse support. It breaks the gpm mouse (Linux console). The prototypes for the Perl interface didn't work for threaded Perl. Added a sed command to remove the prototypes from proto/if_perl.pro and added them manually to if_perl.xs. When ":w!" resets the 'readonly' option the title and status lines were not updated. ":args" showed the current file when the argument list was empty. Made this work like Vi: display nothing. "99:<C-U>echo v:count" echoed "99" in Normal mode, but 0 in Visual mode. Don't set v:count when executing a stuffed command. Amiga: Got a requester for "home:" because it's in the default runtime path. Don't bring up a requester when searching for a file in 'path', sourcing the .vimrc file or using ":runtime". Win16 and Win32: Considered a file "\path\file" absolute. Can cause the same file to appear as two different buffers. Win32: Renaming a file to an empty string crashed Vim. Happened when using explorer.vim and hitting ESC at the rename prompt. Win32: strftime() crashed when called with a "-1" value for the time. Win32 with Borland compiler: mch_FullName() didn't work, caused tag file not to be found. Cscope sometimes jumped to the wrong tag. (David Bustos) OS/2: Could not find the tags file. mch_expand_wildcards() added another slash to a directory name. When using ">>" the `] mark was not in the last column. When Vim was compiled without menu support, filetype.vim was still trying to source the menu.vim script. (Rafael Garcia-Suarez) ":ptag" added an item to the tag stack. Win32 IME: "gr" didn't use IME mode. In the "vim --help" message the term "options" was used for arguments. That's confusing, call them "arguments". When there are two windows, and a BufUnload autocommand for closing window #1 closed window #2, Vim would crash. When there is a preview window and only one other window, ":q" wouldn't exit. In Insert mode, when cancelling a digraph with ESC, the '?' wasn't removed. On Unix glob(".*") returned "." and "..", on Windows it didn't. On Windows glob("*") also returned files starting with a dot. Made this work like Unix on all systems. Win32: Removed old code to open a console. Vimrun is now used and works fine. Compute the room needed by the intro message accurately, so that it also fits on a 25 line console. (Craig Barkhouse) ":ptnext" was broken. Now remember the last tag used in the preview window separately from the tagstack. Didn't check for "-display" being the last argument. (Wichert Akkerman) GTK GUI: When starting "gvim" under some conditions there would be an X error. Don't replace the error handler when creating the xterm clipboard. (Wichert Akkerman) Adding a space after a help tag caused the tag not to be found. E.g., ":he autoindent ". Was trying to expand a URL into a full path name. On Windows this resulted in the current directory to be prepended to the URL. Added vim_isAbsName() and vim_FullName() to avoid that various machine specific functions do it differently. ":n *.c" ":cd .." ":n" didn't use the original directory of the file. Vi only does it for the current file (looks like a bug). Now remember the buffer used for the entry in the argument list and use it's name (adjusted when doing ":cd"), unless it's deleted. When inserting a special key as its name ("<F8>" as four characters) after moving around in Insert mode, undo didn't work properly. Motif GUI: When using the right mouse button, for some people gvim froze for a couple of seconds (Motif 1.2?). This doesn't happen when there is no Popup menu. Solved by only creating a popup menu when 'mousemodel' is "popup" or "popup_setpos". (David Harrison) Motif: When adding many menu items, the "Help" menu disappeared but the menubar didn't wrap. Now manually set the menubar height. When using<BS>in Insert mode to remove a line break, or using "J" to join lines, the cursor could end up halfway a multi-byte character. (Muraoka Taro) Removed defining SVR4 in configure. It causes problems for some X header files and doesn't appear to be used anywhere. When 'wildignore' is used, 'ignorecase' for a tag match was not working. When 'wildignore' contains "*~" it was impossible to edit a file ending in a "~". Now don't recognize a file ending in "~" as containing wildcards. Disabled the mouse code for OS/2. It was not really used. ":mksession" always used the full path name for a buffer, also when the short name could be used. ":mkvimrc" and ":mksession" didn't save 'wildchar' and 'pastetoggle' in such a way that they would be restored. Now use the key name if possible, this is portable. After recovering a file and abandoning it, an ":edit" command didn't give the ATTENTION prompt again. Would be useful to be able to delete the file in an easy way. Reset the BF_RECOVERED flag when unloading the buffer. histdel() could match or ignore case, depending on what happened before it. Now always match case. When a window size was specified when splitting a window, it would still get the size from 'winheight' or 'winwidth' if it's larger. When using "append" or "insert" inside a function definition, a line starting with "function" or "endfunction" caused confusion. Now recognize the commands and skip lines until a ".". At the end of any function or sourced file need_wait_return could be reset, causing messages to disappear when redrawing. When in a while loop the line number for error messages stayed fixed. Now the line number is remembered in the while loop. "cd c:/" didn't work on MS-DOS. mch_isdir() removed a trailing slash. MS-Windows: getftime() didn't work when a directory had a trailing slash or backslash. Didn't show the time in the explorer because of this. When doing wildcard completion, a directory "a/" sorted after "a-b". Now recognize path separators when sorting files. Non-Unix systems: When editing "c:/dir/../file" and "c:/file" they were created as different buffers, although it's the same file. Expand to a full file name also when an absolute name contains "..". "g&" didn't repeat the last substitute properly. When 'clipboard' was set to "unnamed", a "Y" command would not write to "0. Now make a copy of register 0 to the clipboard register. When the search pattern matches in many ways, it could not always be interrupted with aCTRL-C. AndCTRL-Cwould have to be hit once for every line when 'hlsearch' is on. When 'incsearch' is on and interrupting the search for a match, don't abandon the command line. When turning a directory name into a full path, e.g., with fnamemodify(), sometimes a slash was added. Make this consistent: Don't add a slash. When a file name contains a "!", using it in a shell command will cause trouble: ":!cat %". Escape the "!" to avoid that. Escape it another time when 'shell' contains "sh". Completing a file name that has a tail that starts with a "~" didn't work: ":e view/~<Tab>". Using a ":command" argument that contains< and >but not for a special argument was not skipped properly. The DOS install program: On Win2000 the check for a vim.exe or gvim.exe in $PATH didn't work, it always found it in the current directory. Rename the vim.exe in the current dir to avoid this. (Walter Briscoe) In the MS-DOS/Windows install program, use %VIM% instead of an absolute path, so that moving Vim requires only one change in the batch file. Mac: mch_FullName() changed the "fname" argument and didn't always initialize the buffer. MS-DOS: mch_FullName() didn't fix forward/backward slashes in an absolute file name. "echo expand("%:p:h")" with an empty file name removed one directory name on MS-DOS. For Unix, when the file name is a directory, the directory name was removed. Now make it consistent: "%:p" adds a path separator for all systems, but no path separator is added in other situations. Unix: When checking for aCTRL-C(could happen any time) and there is an X event (e.g., clipboard updated) and there is typeahead, Vim would hang until a character was typed. MS-DOS, MS-Windows and Amiga: expanding "$ENV/foo" when $ENV ends in a colon, had the slash removed. ":he \^=" gave an error for using \_. ":he ^=" didn't find tag :set^=. Even "he :set^=" didn't find it. A tags file name "D:/tags" was used as file "tags" in "D:". That doesn't work when the current path for D: isn't the root of the drive. Removed calls to XtInitializeWidgetClass(), they shouldn't be necessary. When using a dtterm or various other color terminals, and the Normal group has been set to use a different background color, the background wouldn't always be displayed with that color. Added check for "ut" termcap entry: If it's missing, clearing the screen won't give us the current background color. Need to draw each character instead. Vim now also works when the "cl" (clear screen) termcap entry is missing. When repeating a "/" search command with a line offset, the "n" did use the offset but didn't make the motion linewise. Made "d/pat/+2" and "dn" do the same. Win32: Trying to use ":tearoff" for a menu that doesn't exist caused a crash. OpenPTY() didn't work on Sequent. Add a configure check for getpseudotty(). C-indenting: Indented a line starting with ")" with the matching "(", but not a line starting with "x)" looks strange. Also compute the indent for aligning with items inside the () and use the lowest indent. MS-DOS and Windows: ":n *.vim" also matched files ending in "~". Moved mch_expandpath() from os_win16.c and os_msdos.c to misc1.c, they are equal. Macintosh: (Dany St-Amant) - In Vi-compatible mode didn't read files with CR line separators. - Fixed a bug in the handling of Activate/Deactivate Event - Fixed a bug in gui_mch_dialog (using wrong pointer) Multibyte GDK XIM: While composing a multibyte-word, if user presses a mouse button, then the word is removed. It should remain and composing end. (Sung-Hyun Nam) MS-DOS, MS-Windows and OS/2: When reading from stdin, automatic CR-LF conversion by the C library got in the way of detecting a "dos" 'fileformat'. When 'smartcase' is set, patterns with "\S" would also make 'ignorecase' reset. When clicking the mouse in a column larger than 222, it moved to the first column. Can't encode a larger number in a character. Now limit the number to 222, don't jump back to the first column. GUI: In some versions CSI would cause trouble, either when typed directly or when part of a multi-byte sequence. When using multibyte characters in a ":normal" command, a trailing byte that is CSI or K_SPECIAL caused problems. Wildmenu didn't handle multi-byte characters. ":sleep 10" could not be interrupted on Windows, while "gs" could. Made them both work the same. Unix: When waiting for a character is interrupted by an X-windows event (e.g., to obtain the contents of the selection), the wait time would not be honored. A message could be overwritten quickly. Now compute the remaining waiting time. Windows: Completing "\\share\c$\S" inserted a backslash before the $ and then the name is invalid. Don't insert the backslash. When doing an auto-write before ":make", IObuff was overwritten and the wrong text displayed later. On the Mac the directories "c:/tmp" and "c:/temp" were used in the defaults for 'backupdir' and 'directory', they don't exist. The check for a new file not to be on an MS-DOS filesystem created the file temporarily, which can be slow. Don't do this if there is another check for the swap file being on an MS-DOS filesystem. Don't give the "Changing a readonly file" warning when reading from stdin. When using the "Save As" menu entry and not entering a file name, would get an error message for the trailing ":edit #". Now only do that when the alternate file name was changed. When Vim owns the X11 selection and is being suspended, an application that tries to use the selection hangs. When Vim continues it could no longer obtain the selection. Now give up the selection when suspending. option.h and globals.h were included in some files, while they were already included in vim.h. Moved the definition of EXTERN to vim.h to avoid doing it twice. When repeating an operator that used a search pattern and the search pattern contained characters that have a special meaning on the cmdline (e.g.,CTRL-U) it didn't work. Fixed various problems with using K_SPECIAL (0x80) and CSI (0x9b) as a byte in a (multibyte) character. For example, the "r" command could not be repeated. The DOS/Windows install program didn't always work from a directory with a long filename, because $VIM and the executable name would not have the same path. Multi-byte: - Using an any-but character range [^x] in a regexp didn't work for UTF-8. (Muraoka Taro) - When backspacing over inserted characters in Replace mode multi-byte characters were not handled correctly. (Muraoka Taro) - Search commands "#" and "*" didn't work with multibyte characters. (Muraoka Taro) - Word completion in Insert mode didn't work with multibyte characters. (Muraoka Taro) - Athena/Motif GUI: when 'linespace' is non-zero the cursor would be drawn too wide (number of bytes instead of cell width). - When changing 'encoding' to "euc-jp" and inserting a character Vim would crash. - For euc-jp characters positioning the cursor would sometimes be wrong. Also, with two characters with 0x8e leading byte only the first one would be displayed. - When using DYNAMIC_ICONV on Win32 conversion might fail because of using the wrong error number. (Muraoka Taro) - Using Alt-x in the GUI while 'encoding' was set to "utf-8" didn't produce the right character. - When using Visual block selection and only the left halve of a double-wide character is selected, the highlighting continued to the end of the line. - Visual-block delete didn't work properly when deleting the right halve of a double-wide character. - Overstrike mode for the cmdline replaced only the first byte of a multibyte character. - The cursor in Replace mode (also in the cmdline) was to small on a double-wide character. - When a multibyte character contained a 0x80 byte, it didn't work (was using a CSI byte instead). (Muraoka Taro) - Wordwise selection with the mouse didn't work. - Yanking a modeless selection of multi-byte characters didn't work. - When 'selection' is "exclusive", selecting a word that ends in a multi-byte character used wrong highlighting for the following character. Win32 with Make_mvc.mak: Didn't compile for debugging. (Craig Barkhouse) Win32 GUI: When "vimrun.exe" is used to execute an external command, don't give a message box with the return value, it was already printed by vimrun. Also avoid printing the return value of the shell when ":silent!" is used. Win32: selecting a lot of text and using the "find/replace" dialog caused a crash. X11 GUI: When typing a character with the 8th bit set and the Meta/Alt modifier, the modifier was removed without changing the character. Truncating a message to make it fit on the command line, using "..." for the middle, didn't always compute the space correctly. Could not imap<C-@>. Now it works like<Nul>. VMS: - Fixed a few things for VAXC. os_vms_fix.com had some strangeCTRL-Mcharacters. (Zoltan Arpadffy and John W. Hamill) - Added VMS-specific defaults for the 'isfname' and 'isprint' options. (Zoltan Arpadffy) - Removed os_vms_osdef.h, it's no longer used. The gzip plugin used a ":normal" command, this doesn't work when dropping a compressed file on Vim. In very rare situations a binary search for a tag would fail, because an uninitialized value happens to be half the size of the tag file. (Narendran) When using BufEnter and BufLeave autocommands to enable/disable a menu, it wasn't updated right away. When doing a replace with the "c"onfirm flag, the cursor was positioned after the ruler, instead of after the question. With a long replacement string the screen could scroll up and cause a "more" prompt. Now the message is truncated to make it fit. Motif: The autoconf check for the Xp library didn't work. When 'verbose' is set to list lines of a sourced file, defining a function would reset the counter used for the "more" prompt. In the Win32 find/replace dialog, a '/' character caused problems. Escape it with a backslash. Starting a shell with ":sh" was different from starting a shell forCTRL-Zwhen suspending doesn't work. They now work the same way. Jumping to a file mark while in a changed buffer gave a "mark not set" error. ":execute histget("cmd")" causes an endless loop and crashed Vim. Now catch all commands that cause too much recursiveness. Removed "Failed to open input method" error message, too many people got this when they didn't want to use a XIM. GUI: When compiled without the +windows feature, the scrollbar would start below line one. Removed the trick with redefining character class functions from regexp.c. Win32 GUI: Find dialog gives focus back to main window, when typing a character mouse pointer is blanked, it didn't reappear when moving it in the dialog window. (Vince Negri) When recording and typing aCTRL-C, no character was recorded. When in Insert mode or cancelling half a command, playing back the recorded sequence wouldn't work. Now record theCTRL-C. When the GUI was started, mouse codes for DEC and netterm were still checked for. GUI: When scrolling and 'writedelay' is non-zero, the character under the cursor was displayed in the wrong position (one line above/below withCTRL-E/CTRL-Y). A ":normal" command would reset the 'scrollbind' info. Causes problems when using a ":normal" command in an autocommand for opening a file. Windows GUI: a point size with a dot, like "7.5", wasn't recognized. (Muraoka Taro) When 'scrollbind' wasn't set would still remember the current position, wasting time. GTK: Crash when 'shell' doesn't exist and doing":!ls". Use _exit() instead of exit() when the child couldn't execute the shell. Multi-byte: - GUI with double-byte encoding: a mouse click in left halve of double-wide character put the cursor in previous char. - Using double-byte encoding and 'selection' is "exclusive": "vey" and "^Vey" included the character after the word. - When using a double-byte encoding and there is a lead byte at the end of the line, the preceding line would be displayed. "ga" also showed wrong info. - "gf" didn't include multi-byte characters before the cursor properly. (Muraoka Taro) GUI: The cursor was sometimes not removed when scrolling. Changed the policy from redrawing the cursor after each call to gui_write() to only update it at the end of update_screen() or when setting the cursor position. Also only update the scrollbars at the end of update_screen(), that's the only place where the window text may have been scrolled. Formatting "/*<Tab>long text", produced "*<Tab>" in the next line. Now remove the space before the Tab. Formatting "/*<Tab> long text", produced "*<Tab>long text" in the next line. Now keep the space after the Tab. In some places non-ASCII alphabetical characters were accepted, which could cause problems. For example, ":X" (X being such a character). When a pattern matches the end of the line, the last character in the line was highlighted for 'hlsearch'. That looks wrong for "/\%3c". Now highlight the character just after the line. Motif: If a dialog was closed by clicking on the "X" of the window frame Vim would no longer respond. When usingCTRL-XorCTRL-Aon a number with many leading zeros, Vim would crash. (Matsumoto) When 'insertmode' is set, the mapping in mswin.vim forCTRL-Vdidn't work in Select mode. Insert mode wasn't restarted after overwriting the text. Now allow nesting Insert mode with insert and change commands.CTRL-Ocwfoo<Esc>now also works. Clicking with the right mouse button in another window started Visual mode, but used the start position of the current window. Caused ml_get errors when the line number was invalid. Now stay in the same window. When 'selection' is "exclusive", "gv" sometimes selected one character fewer. When 'comments' contains more than one start/middle/end triplet, the optional flags could be mixed up. Also didn't align the end with the middle part. Double-right-click in Visual mode didn't update the shown mode. When the Normal group has a font name, it was never used when starting up. Now use it when 'guifont' and 'guifontset' are empty. Setting a font name to a highlight group before the GUI was started didn't work. "make test" didn't use the name of the generated Vim executable. 'cindent' problems: - Aligned with an "else" inside a do-while loop for a line below that loop. (Meikel Brandmeyer) - A line before a function would be indented even when terminated with a semicolon. (Meikel Brandmeyer) - 'cindent' gave too much indent to a line after a "};" that ends an array init. - Support declaration lines ending in "," and "\". (Meikel Brandmeyer) - A case statement inside a do-while loop was used for indenting a line after the do-while loop. (Meikel Brandmeyer) - When skipping a string in a line with one double quote it could continue in the previous line. (Meikel Brandmeyer) When 'list' is set, 'hlsearch' didn't highlight a match at the end of the line. Now highlight the '$'. The Paste menu item in the menu bar, the popup menu and the toolbar were all different. Now made them all equal to how it was done in mswin.vim. st_dev can be smaller than "unsigned". The compiler may give an overflow warning. Added a configure check for dev_t. Athena: closing a confirm() dialog killed Vim. Various typos in the documentation. (Matt Dunford) Python interface: The definition of _DEBUG could cause trouble, undefine it. The error message for not being able to load the shared library wasn't translated. (Muraoka Taro) Mac: (Dany St-Amant and Axel Kielhorn) - Several fixes. - Vim was eating 80% of the CPU time. - The project os_mac.pbxproj didn't work, Moved it to a subdirectory. - Made the menu priority work for the menubar. - Fixed a problem with dragging the scrollbar. - Cleaned up the various #ifdefs. Unix: When catching a deadly signal and we keep getting one use _exit() to exit in a quick and dirty way. Athena menu ordering didn't work correctly. (David Harrison) A ":make" or ":grep" command with a long argument could cause a crash. Doing ":new file" and using "Quit" for the ATTENTION dialog still opened a new window. GTK: When starting the GUI and there is an error in the .vimrc file, don't present the wait-return prompt, since the message was given in the terminal. When there was an error in a .vimrc file the terminal where gvim was started could be cleared. Set msg_row in main.c before writing any messages. GTK and X11 GUI: When trying to read characters from the user (e.g. with input()) before the Vim window was opened caused Vim to hang when it was started from the desktop. OS/390 uses 31 bit pointers. That broke some computations with MAX_COL. Reduce MAX_COL by one bit for OS/390. (Ralf Schandl) When defining a function and it already exists, Vim didn't say it existed until after typing it. Now do this right away when typing it. The message remembered for displaying later (keep_msg) was sometimes pointing into a generic buffer, which might be changed by the time the message is displayed. Now make a copy of the message. When using multi-byte characters in a menu and a trailing byte is a backslash, the menu would not be created correctly. (Muraoka Taro) Using a multibyte character in the substitute string where a trail byte is a backslash didn't work. (Muraoka Taro) When setting "t_Co" in a vimrc file, then setting it automatically from an xterm termresponse and then setting it again manually caused a crash. When getting the value of a string option that is not supported, the number zero was returned. This breaks a check like "&enc == "asdf". Now an empty string is returned for string options. Crashed when starting the GTK GUI while using 'notitle' in the vimrc, setting 'title' in the gvimrc and starting the GUI with ":gui". Closed the connection to the X server accidentally. Had to hit return after selecting an entry for ":ts". The message from ":cn" message was sometimes cleared. Now display it after redrawing if it doesn't cause a scroll (truncated when necessary). hangulin.c didn't compile when the GUI was disabled. Disable it when it won't work. When setting a termcap option like "t_CO", the value could be displayed as being for a normal key with a modifier, like "<M-=>". When expanding the argument list, entries which are a directory name did not get included. This stopped "vim c:/" from opening the file explorer. ":syn match sd "^" nextgroup=asdf" skipped the first column and matched the nextgroup in the second column. GUI: When 'lazyredraw' is set, 'showmatch' didn't work. Required flushing the output. Don't define the<NetMouse>termcode in an xterm, reduces the problem when someone types<Esc>} in Insert mode. Made slash_adjust() work correctly for multi-byte characters. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Using a filename in Big5 encoding for autocommands didn't work (backslash in trailbyte). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) DOS and Windows: Expanding *.vim also matched file.vimfoo. Expand path like Unix to avoid problems with Windows dir functions. Merged the DOS and Win32 functions. Win32: Gvimext could not edit more than a few files at once, the length of the argument was fixed. "ls -1 * | xargs vim" worked, but the input was in cooked mode. Now switch to raw mode when needed. Use dup() to copy the stderr file descriptor to stdin to make shell commands work. No longer requires an external program to do this. When using ":filetype off", ftplugin and indent usage would be switched off at the same time. Don't do this, setting 'filetype' manually can still use them. GUI: When writing a double-byte character, it could be split up in two calls to gui_write(), which doesn't work. Now flush before the output buffer becomes full. When 'laststatus' is set and 'cmdheight' is two or bigger, the intro message would be written over the status line. The ":intro" command didn't work when there wasn't enough room. Configuring for Ruby failed with a recent version of Ruby. (Akinori Musha) Athena: When deleting the directory in which Vim was started, using the file browser made Vim exit. Removed the use of XtAppError(). When using autoconf 2.50, UNIX was not defined. Moved the comment for "#undef UNIX" to a separate line. Win32: Disabled _OnWindowPosChanging() to make maximize work better. Win32: Compiling with VC 4.0 didn't work. (Walter Briscoe) Athena: - Finally fixed the problems with deleting a menu. (David Harrison) - Athena: When closing the confirm() dialog, worked like OK was pressed, instead of Cancel. The file explorer didn't work in compatible mode, because of line continuation. Didn't give an error message for ":digraph a". When using Ex mode in the GUI and typing a special key,<BS>didn't delete it correctly. Now display '?' for a special key. When an operator is pending, clicking in another window made it apply to that window, even though the line numbers could be beyond the end of the buffer. When a function call doesn't have a terminating ")" Vim could crash. Perl interface: could crash on exit with perl 5.6.1. (Anduin Withers) Using %P in 'errorformat' wasn't handled correctly. (Tomas Zellerin) Using a syntax cluster that includes itself made Vim crash. GUI: With 'ls' set to 2, dragging the status line all the way up, then making the Vim window smaller: Could not the drag status line anymore. "vim -c startinsert! file" placed cursor on last char of a line, instead of after it. A ":set" command in the buffer menu set w_set_curswant. Now don't do this when w_curswant is MAXCOL. Win32: When the gvim window was maximized and selecting another font, the window would no longer fill the screen. The line with 'pastetoggle' in ":options" didn't show the right value when it is a special key. Hitting<CR>didn't work either. Formatting text, resulting in a % landing in the first line, repeated the % in the following lines, like it's the start of a comment. GTK: When adding a toolbar item while gvim is already running, it wasn't possible to use the tooltip. Now it works by adding the tooltip first. The output of "gCTRL-G" mentioned "Char" but it's actually bytes. Searching for the end of a oneline region didn't work correctly when there is an offset for the highlighting. Syntax highlighting: When synchronizing on C-comments, //*/ was seen as the start of a comment. Win32: Without scrollbars present, the MS mouse scroll wheel didn't work. Also handle the scrollbars when they are not visible. Motif: When there is no right scrollbar, the bottom scrollbar would still leave room for it. (Martin Dalecki) When changing 'guicursor' and the value is invalid, some of the effects would still take place. Now first check for errors and only make the new value effective when it's OK. Using "A" In Visual block mode, appending to lines that don't extend into the block, padding was wrong. When pasting a block of text, a character that occupies more than one screen column could be deleted and spaces inserted instead. Now only do that with a tab. Fixed conversion of documentation to HTML using Perl. (Dan Sharp) Give an error message when a menu name starts with a dot. Avoid a hang when executing a shell from the GUI on HP-UX by pushing "ptem" even when sys/ptem.h isn't present. When creating the temp directory, make sure umask is 077, otherwise the directory is not accessible when it was set to 0177. Unix: When resizing the window and a redraw is a bit slow, could get a window resize event while redrawing, resulting in a messed up window. Any input (e.g., a mouse click) would redraw. The "%B" item in the status line became zero in Insert mode (that's normal) for another than the current window. The menu entries to convert to xxd and back didn't work in Insert mode. When ":vglobal" didn't find a line where the pattern doesn't match, the error message would be the wrong way around. When ignoring a multi-line error message with "%-A", the continuation lines would be used anyway. (Servatius Brandt) "grx" on a double-wide character inserted "x", instead of replacing the character with "x ". "gR" on<xx>('display' set the "uhex") didn't replace at all. When doing "gRxx" on a control character the first "x" would be inserted, breaking the alignment. Added "0)" to 'cinkeys', so that when typing a ) it is put in the same place as where "==" would put it. Win32: When maximized, adding/removing toolbar didn't resize the text area. When using<C-RightMouse>a count was discarded. When typingCTRL-Vand<RightMouse>in the command line, would insert<LeftMouse>. Using "vis" or "vas" when 'selection' is exclusive didn't include the last character. When adding to an option like 'grepprg', leading space would be lost. Don't expand environment variables when there is no comma separating the items. GUI: When using a bold-italic font, would still use the bold trick and underlining. Motif: The default button didn't work in dialogs, the first one was always used. Had to give input focus to the default button. When usingCTRL-Tto jump within the same file, the '' mark wasn't set. Undo wasn't Vi compatible when using the 'c' flag for ":s". Now it undoes the whole ":s" command instead of each confirmed replacement. The Buffers menu, when torn-off, disappeared when being refreshed. Add a dummy item to avoid this. Removed calling msg_start() in main(), it should not be needed. vim_strpbrk() did not support multibyte characters. (Muraoka Taro) The Amiga version didn't compile, the code was too big for relative jumps. Moved a few files from ex_docmd.c to ex_cmds2.c When evaluating the "= register resulted in the "= register being changed, Vim would crash. When doing ":view file" and it fails, the current buffer was made read-only. Motif: For some people the separators in the toolbar disappeared when resizing the Vim window. (Martin Dalecki) Win32 GUI: when setting 'lines' to a huge number, would not compute the available space correctly. Was counting the menu height twice. Conversion of the docs to HTML didn't handle the line with the +quickfix tag correctly. (Antonio Colombo) Win32: fname_case() didn't handle multi-byte characters correctly. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) The Cygwin version had trouble with fchdir(). Don't use that function for Cygwin. The generic check in scripts.vim for "conf" syntax was done before some checks in filetype.vim, resulting in "conf" syntax too often. Dos32: Typing lagged behind. Would wait for one biostick when checking if a character is available. GTK: When setting 'columns' while starting up "gvim", would set the width of the terminal it was started in. When using ESC in Insert mode, an autoindent that wraps to the next line caused the cursor to move to the end of the line temporarily. When the character before the cursor was a double-wide multi-byte character the cursor would be on the right halve, which causes problems with some terminals. Didn't handle multi-byte characters correctly when expanding a file name. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Win32 GUI: Errors generated before the GUI is decided to start were not reported. globpath() didn't reserve enough room for concatenated results. (Anduin Withers) When expanding an option that is very long already, don't do the expansion, it would be truncated to MAXPATHL. (Anduin Withers) When 'selection' is "exclusive", using "Fx" in Visual mode only moved until just after the character. When using IME on the console to enter a file name, the screen may scroll up. Redraw the screen then. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Motif: In the find/replace dialog the "Replace" button didn't work first time, second time it replaced all matches. Removed the use of ":s///c". GTK: Similar problems with the find/replace dialog, moved the code to a common function. X11: Use shared GC's for text. (Martin Dalecki) "]i" found the match under the cursor, instead of the first one below it. Same for "]I", "]CTRL-I", "]d", "]D" and "]CTRL-D". Win16: When maximized and the font is changed, don't change the window size. (Vince Negri) When 'lbr' is set, deleting a block of text could leave the cursor in the wrong position. Win32: When opening a file with the "Edit with Vim" popup menu entry, wildcards would cause trouble. Added the "--literal" argument to avoid expanding file names. When using "gv", it didn't restore that "$" was used in Visual block mode. Win32 GUI: While waiting for a shell command to finish, the window wasn't redrawn at all. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Syntax highlighting: A match that continues on a next line because of a contained region didn't end when that region ended. The ":s" command didn't allow flags like 'e' and 'i' right after it. When using ":s" to split a line, marks were moved to the next line. Vi keeps them in the first line. When using ":n" ":rew", the previous context mark was at the top of the file, while Vi puts it in the same place as the cursor. Made it Vi compatible. Fixed Vi incompatibility: Text was not put in register 1 when using "c" and "d" with a motion character, when deleting within one line with one of the commands: % ( ) `<character>/ ? N n{ }Win32 GUI: The tooltip for tear-off items remained when the tear-off item was no longer selected. GUI: When typing ":" at the more prompt, would return to Normal mode and not redraw the screen. When starting Vim with an argument "-c g/at/p" the printed lines would overwrite each other. BeOS: Didn't compile. Configure didn't add the os_beos files, the QNX check removed them. Various changes to os_beos.cc. (Joshua Haberman) Removed the check for the hardware platform, the BeBox has not been produced for a long time now. Win32 GUI: don't use a message box when the shell returns an error code, display the message in the Vim window. Make_mvc.mak always included "/debug" for linking. "GUI=no" argument didn't work. Use "DEBUG=yes" instead of "DEBUG=1" to make it consistent. (Dan Sharp) When a line in the tags file ended in ;" (no TAB following) the command would not be recognized as a search command. X11: The inputMethod resource never worked. Don't use the "none" input method for SGI, it apparently makes the first character in Input method dropped. Fixed incorrect tests in os_mac.h. (Axel Kielhorn) Win32 console: When the console where Vim runs in is closed, Vim could hang in trying to restore the window icon. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) When using ":3call func()" or ":3,3call func() the line number was ignored. When 'showbreak' and 'linebreak' were both set, Visual highlighting sometimes continued until the end of the line. GTK GUI: Tearoff items were added even when 'guioptions' didn't contain 't' when starting up. MS-Windows: When the current directory includes a "~", searching files with "gf" or ":find" didn't work. A "$" in the directory had the same problem. Added mch_has_exp_wildcard() functions. When reducing the Vim window height while starting up, would get an out-of-memory error message. When editing a very long search pattern, 'incsearch' caused the redraw of the command line to fail. Motif GUI: On some systems the "Help" menu would not be on the far right, as it should be. On some other systems (esp. IRIX) the command line would not completely show. Solution is to only resize the menubar for Lesstif. Using "%" in a line that contains "\\" twice didn't take care of the quotes properly. Now make a difference between \" and \\". For non-Unix systems a dummy file is created when finding a swap name to detect a 8.3 filesystem. When there is an existing swap file, would get a warning for the file being created outside of Vim. Also, when closing the Vim window the file would remain. Motif: The menu height was always computed, using a "-menuheight" argument was setting the room for the command line. Now make clear the argument is not supported. For some (EBCDIC) systems, POUND was equal to '#'. Added an #if for that to avoid a duplicate case in a switch. The GUI may have problems when forking. Always call _exit() instead of exit() in the parent, the child will call exit(). Win32 GUI: Accented characters were often wrong in dialogs and tearoff menus. Now use CP_ACP instead of CP_OEMCP. (Vince Negri) When displaying text with syntax highlighting causes an error (e.g., running out of stack) the syntax highlighting is disabled to avoid further messages. When a command in a .vimrc or .gvimrc causes an ATTENTION prompt, and Vim was started from the desktop (no place to display messages) it would hang. Now open the GUI window early to be able to display the messages and pop up the dialog. "r<CR>" on a multi-byte character deleted only the first byte of the character. "3r<CR>" deleted three bytes instead of three characters. When interrupting reading a file, Vi considers the buffer modified. Added the 'i' flag in 'cpoptions' flag for this (we don't want it modified to be able to do ":q"). When using an item in 'guicursor' that starts with a colon, Vim would get stuck or crash. When putting a file mark in a help file and later jumping back to it, the options would not be set. Extended the modeline in all help files to make this work better. When a modeline contained "::" the local option values would be printed. Now ignore it. Some help files did not use a 8.3 names, which causes problems when using MS-DOS unzip. Renamed "multibyte.txt" to "mbyte.txt", "rightleft.txt" to "rileft.txt", "tagsearch.txt" to "tagsrch.txt", "os_riscos.txt" to "os_risc.txt". When Visual mode is blockwise, using "iw" or "aw" made it characterwise. That doesn't seem right, only do this when in linewise mode. But then do it always, not only when start and end of Visual mode are equal. When using "viw" on a single-letter word and 'selection' is exclusive, would not include the word. When formatting text from Insert mode, usingCTRL-O, could mess up undo information. While writing a file (also for the backup file) there was no check for an interrupt (hittingCTRL-C). Vim could hang when writing a large file over a slow network, and moving the mouse didn't make it appear (when 'mousehide' is set) and the screen wasn't updated in the GUI. Also allow interrupting when syncing the swap file, it can take a long time. When using ":mksession" while there is help window, it would later be restored to the right file but not marked as a help buffer. ":help" would then open another window. Now use the value "help" for 'buftype' to mark a help buffer. The session file contained absolute path names in option values, that doesn't work when the home directory depends on the situation. Replace the home directory with ~/ when possible. When using 'showbreak' a TAB just after the shown break would not be counted correctly, the cursor would be positioned wrong. With 'showbreak' set to "--->" or "------->" and 'sts' set to 4, inserting tabs did not work right. Could cause a crash. Backspacing was also wrong, could get stuck at a line break. Win32: crashed when tearing off a menu with over 300 items. GUI: A menu or toolbar item would appear when only a tooltip was defined for it. When 'scrolloff' is non-zero and "$" is in 'cpoptions', using "s" while the last line of the file is the first line on screen, the text wasn't displayed. When running "autoconf", delete the configure cache to force starting cleanly when configure is run again. When changing the Normal colors for cterm, the value of 'background' was changed even when the GUI was used. The warning for a missing vimrun.exe was always given on startup, but some people just editing a file don't need to be bothered by it. Only show it when vimrun would be used. When using "%" in a multibyte text it could get confused by trailbytes that match. (Muraoka Taro) Termcap entry for RiscOS was wrong, using 7 and 8 in octal codes. Athena: The title of a dialog window and the file selector window were not set. (David Harrison) The "htmlLink" highlight group specified colors, which gives problems when using a color scheme. Added the "Underlined" highlight group for this. After using ":insert" or ":change" the '[ mark would be one line too low. When looking for the file name after a match with 'include' one character was skipped. Same for 'define'. Win32 and DJGPP: When editing a file with a short name in a directory, and editing the same file but using the long name, would end up with two buffers on the same file. "gf" on a filename that starts with "../" only worked when the file being edited is in the current directory. An include file search didn't work properly for files starting with "../" or ".". Now search both relative to the file and to the current directory. When 'printheader', 'titlestring', 'iconstring', 'rulerformat' or 'statusline' contained "%{" but no following "}" memory was corrupted and a crash could happen. ":0append" and then inserting two lines did not redraw the blank lines that were scrolled back down. When using insert mode completion in a narrow window, the message caused a scroll up. Now shorten the message if it doesn't fit and avoid writing the ruler over the message. XIM still didn't work correctly on some systems, especially SGI/IRIX. Added the 'imdisable' option, which is set by default for that system. Patch 6.0aw.008 Problem: When the first character of a file name is over 127, the Buffers menu entry would get a negative priority and cause problems. Solution: Reduce the multiplier for the first character when computing the hash value for a Buffers menu entry. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.0aw.010 Problem: Win32: ":browse edit dir/dir" didn't work. (Vikas) Solution: Change slashes to backslashes in the directory passed to the file browser. Files: src/gui_w48.c Athena file browser: On some systems wcstombs() can't be used to get the length of a multi-byte string. Use the maximum length then. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Patch 6.0ax.001 Problem: When 'patchmode' is set, appending to a file gives an empty original file. (Ed Ralston) Solution: Also make a backup copy when appending and 'patchmode' is set. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0ax.002 Problem: When 'patchmode' is set, appending to a compressed file gives an uncompressed original file. (Ed Ralston) Solution: Create the original file before decompressing. Files: runtime/plugin/gzip.vim Patch 6.0ax.005 Problem: Athena file selector keeps the title of the first invocation. Solution: Set the title each time the file selector is opened. (David Harrison) Files: src/gui_at_fs.c Patch 6.0ax.007 Problem: When using GPM (mouse driver in a Linux console) a double click is interpreted as a scroll wheel click. Solution: Check if GPM is being used when deciding if a mouse event is for the scroll wheel. Files: src/term.c Patch 6.0ax.010 Problem: The Edit.Save menu and the Save toolbar button didn't work when the buffer has no file name. Solution: Use a file browser to ask for a file name. Also fix the toolbar Find item in Visual mode. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.0ax.012 Problem: When 'cpoptions' contains "$", breaking a line for 'textwidth' doesn't redraw properly. (Stefan Schulze) Solution: Remove the dollar before breaking the line. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0ax.014 Problem: Win32: On Windows 98 ":make -f file" doesn't work when 'shell' is "command.com" and 'makeprg' is "nmake". The environment isn't passed on to "nmake". Solution: Also use vimrun.exe when redirecting the output of a command. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.0ax.016 Problem: The version number was reported wrong in the intro screen. Solution: Check for a version number with two additional letters. Files: src/version.c Patch 6.0ax.019 Problem: When scrolling a window with folds upwards, switching to another vertically split window and back may not update the scrollbar. Solution: Limit w_botline to the number of lines in the buffer plus one. Files: src/move.c

Added Ukrainian menu translations. (Bohdan Vlasyuk) Added ASCII version of the Czech menus. (Jiri Brezina) Added Simplified Chinese translation of the tutor. (Mendel L Chan) Added Russian keymap for yawerty keyboard. Added an explanation of using the vimrc file in the tutor. Changed tutor.vim to get the right encoding for the Taiwainese tutor. Added Russian tutor. (Andrey Kiselev) Added Polish tutor. (Mikolaj Machowski) Added darkblue color scheme. (Bohdan Vlasyuk) When packing the dos language archive automatically generate the .mo files that are required. Improved NSIS script to support NSIS 180. Added icons for the enabled/disabled status. (Mirek Pruchnik) cp1250 version of the Slovak message translations. Compiler plugins for IRIX compilers. (David Harrison) Fixed *fixed-6.1*
The license text was updated to make the meaning clearer and make it compatible with the GNU GPL. Otherwise distributors have a problem when linking Vim with a GPL'ed library. When installing the "less.sh" script it was not made executable. (Chuck Berg) Win32: The "9" key on the numpad wasn't working. (Julian Kinraid) The NSIS install script didn't work with NSIS 1.80 or later. Also add Vim-specific icons. (Pruchnik) The script for conversion to HTML contained an "if" in the wrong place. (Michael Geddes) Allow using ":ascii" in the sandbox, it's harmless. Removed creat() from osdef2.h.in, it wasn't used and may cause a problem when it's redefined to creat64(). The text files in the VisVim directory were in "dos" format. This caused problems when applying a patch. Now keep them in "unix" format and convert them to "dos" format only for the PC archives. Add ruby files to the dos source archive, they can be used by Make_mvc.mak. (Mirek Pruchnik) "cp -f" doesn't work on all systems. Change "cp -f" in the Makefile to "rm -f" and "cp". Didn't compile on a Compaq Tandem Himalaya OSS. (Michael A. Benzinger) The GTK file selection dialog didn't include the "Create Dir", "Delete File" and "Rename File" buttons. When doing ":browse source" the dialog has the title "Run Macro". Better would be "Source Vim script". (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Win32: Don't use the printer font as default for the font dialog. "make doslang" didn't work when configure didn't run (yet). Set $MAKEMO to "yes". (Mirek Pruchnik) The ToolBar TagJump item used "g]", which prompts for a selection even when there is only one matching tag. Use "g<C-]>" instead. The ming makefile for message translations didn't have the right list of files. The MS-Windows 3.1 version complains about LIBINTL.DLL not found. Compile this version without message translations. The Borland 5 makefile contained a check for Ruby which is no longer needed. The URLs for the TCL library was outdated. (Dan Sharp) The eviso.ps file was missing from the DOS runtime archive, it's needed for printing PostScript in the 32bit DOS version. In menu files ":scriptencoding" was used in a wrong way after patch 6.1a.032 Now use ":scriptencoding" in the file where the translations are given. Do the same for all menus in latin1 encoding. Included a lot of fixes for the Macintosh, mostly to make it work with Carbon. (Dany StAmant, Axel Kielhorn, Benji Fisher) Improved the vimtutor shell script to use $TMPDIR when it exists, and delete the copied file when exiting in an abnormal way. (Max Ischenko) When "iconv.dll" can't be found, try using "libiconv.dll". When encryption is used, filtering with a shell command wasn't possible. DJGPP: ":cd c:" always failed, can't get permissions for "c:". Win32: ":cd c:/" failed if the previous current directory on c: had become invalid. DJGPP: Shift-Del and Del both produce \316\123. Default mapping for Del is wrong. Disabled it. Dependencies on header files in MingW makefile was wrong. Win32: Don't use ACL stuff for MSVC 4.2, it's not supported. (Walter Briscoe) Win32 with Borland: bcc.cfg was caching the value for $(BOR), but providing a different argument to make didn't regenerate it. Win32 with MSVC: Make_ivc.mak generates a new if_ole.h in a different directory, the if_ole.h in the src directory may be used instead. Delete the distributed file. When a window is vertically split and then ":ball" is used, the window layout is messed up, can cause a crash. (Muraoka Taro) When 'insertmode' is set, using File/New menu and then double clicking, "i" is soon inserted. (Merlin Hansen) When Select mode is active and using the Buffers menu to switch to another buffer, an old selection comes back. Reset VIsual_reselect for a ":buffer" command. When Select mode is active and 'insertmode' is set, using the Buffers menu to switch to another buffer, did not return to Insert mode. Make sure "restart_edit" is set. When double clicking on the first character of a word while 'selection' is "exclusive" didn't select that word. Patch 6.0.001 Problem: Loading the sh.vim syntax file causes error messages . (Corinna Vinschen) Solution: Add an "if". (Charles Campbell) Files: runtime/syntax/sh.vim Patch 6.0.002 Problem: Using a '@' item in 'viminfo' doesn't work. (Marko Leipert) Solution: Add '@' to the list of accepted items. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.003 Problem: The configure check for ACLs on AIX doesn't work. Solution: Fix the test program so that it compiles. (Tomas Ogren) Files: src/configure.in, src/auto/configure Patch 6.0.004 Problem: The find/replace dialog doesn't reuse a previous argument properly. Solution: After removing a "\V" terminate the string. (Zwane Mwaikambo) Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.0.005 Problem: In Insert mode, "CTRL-O:ls" has a delay before redrawing. Solution: Don't delay just after wait_return() was called. Added the did_wait_return flag. Files: src/globals.h, src/message.c, src/normal.c, src/screen.c Patch 6.0.006 Problem: With a vertical split, 'number' set and 'scrolloff' non-zero, making the window width very small causes a crash. (Niklas Lindstrom) Solution: Check for a zero width. Files: src/move.c Patch 6.0.007 Problem: When setting 'filetype' while there is no FileType autocommand, a following ":setfiletype" would set 'filetype' again. (Kobus Retief) Solution: Set did_filetype always when 'filetype' has been set. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.008 Problem: 'imdisable' is missing from the options window. (Michael Naumann) Solution: Add an entry for it. Files: runtime/optwin.vim Patch 6.0.009 Problem: Nextstep doesn't have S_ISBLK. (John Beppu) Solution: Define S_ISBLK using S_IFBLK. Files: src/os_unix.h Patch 6.0.010 Problem: Using "gf" on a file name starting with "./" or "../" in a buffer without a name causes a crash. (Roy Lewis) Solution: Check for a NULL file name. Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.0.011 Problem: Python: After replacing or deleting lines get an ml_get error. (Leo Lipelis) Solution: Adjust the cursor position for deleted or added lines. Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.0.012 Problem: Polish translations contain printf format errors, this can result in a crash when using one of them. Solution: Fix for translated messages. (Michal Politowski) Files: src/po/pl.po Patch 6.0.013 Problem: Using ":silent! cmd" still gives some error messages, like for an invalid range. (Salman Halim) Solution: Reset emsg_silent after calling emsg() in do_one_cmd(). Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.0.014 Problem: When 'modifiable' is off and 'virtualedit' is "all", "rx" on a TAB still changes the buffer. (Muraoka Taro) Solution: Check if saving the line for undo fails. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.015 Problem: When 'cpoptions' includes "S" and "filetype plugin on" has been used, can get an error for deleting the b:did_ftplugin variable. (Ralph Henderson) Solution: Only delete the variable when it exists. Files: runtime/ftplugin.vim Patch 6.0.016 Problem: bufnr(), bufname() and bufwinnr() don't find unlisted buffers when the argument is a string. (Hari Krishna Dara) Also for setbufvar() and getbufvar(). Solution: Also find unlisted buffers. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.017 Problem: When 'ttybuiltin' is set and a builtin termcap entry defines t_Co and the external one doesn't, it gets reset to empty. (David Harrison) Solution: Only set t_Co when it wasn't set yet. Files: src/term.c Patch 6.0.018 Problem: Initializing 'encoding' may cause a crash when setlocale() is not used. (Dany St-Amant) Solution: Check for a NULL pointer. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.0.019 Problem: Converting a string with multi-byte characters to a printable string, e.g., with strtrans(), may cause a crash. (Tomas Zellerin) Solution: Correctly compute the length of the result in transstr(). Files: src/charset.c Patch 6.0.020 Problem: When obtaining the value of a global variable internally, could get the function-local value instead. Applies to using<Leader>and<LocalLeader>and resetting highlighting in a function. Solution: Prepend "g:" to the variable name. (Aric Blumer) Files: src/syntax.c, src/term.c Patch 6.0.021 Problem: The 'cscopepathcomp' option didn't work. Solution: Change USE_CSCOPE to FEAT_CSCOPE. (Mark Feng) Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.022 Problem: When using the 'langmap' option, the second character of a command starting with "g" isn't adjusted. Solution: Apply 'langmap' to the second character. (Alex Kapranoff) Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.023 Problem: Loading the lhaskell syntax doesn't work. (Thore B.

(Preben Peppe Guldberg) Solution: Always see a "$" as end-of-line after "\v". Do the same for "^". Files: src/regexp.c Patch 6.0.026 Problem: GTK: When using arrow keys to navigate through the menus, the separators are selected. Solution: Set the separators "insensitive". (Pavel Kankovsky) Files: src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.0.027 Problem: VMS: Printing doesn't work, the file is deleted too quickly.

(Zoltan Arpadffy) Files: runtime/doc/os_vms.txt, runtime/menu.vim, src/INSTALLvms.txt, src/Make_vms.mms, src/option.c, src/os_unix.c, src/os_vms_conf.h Patch 6.0.028 Problem: Can't compile without +virtualedit and with +visualextra. (Geza Lakner) Solution: Add an #ifdef for +virtualedit. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.029 Problem: When making a change in line 1, then in line 2 and then deleting line 1, undo info could be wrong. Only when the changes are undone at once. (Gerhard Hochholzer) Solution: When not saving a line for undo because it was already done before, remember for which entry the last line must be computed. Added ue_getbot_entry pointer for this. When the number of lines changes, adjust the position of newer undo entries. Files: src/structs.h, src/undo.c Patch 6.0.030 Problem: Using ":source! file" doesn't work inside a loop or after ":argdo". (Pavol Juhas) Solution: Execute the commands in the file right away, do not let the main loop do it.

Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.0.038 Problem: When 'selection' is "exclusive", deleting a block of text at the end of a line can leave the cursor beyond the end of the line. Solution: Correct the cursor position. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.039 Problem: "gP" leaves the cursor in the wrong position when 'virtualedit' is used. Using "c" in blockwise Visual mode leaves the cursor in a strange position. Solution: For "gP" reset the "coladd" field for the '] mark. For "c" leave the cursor on the last inserted character.

Solution: Escape special characters in file names with a backslash. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.0.043 Problem: Patch 6.0.041 was wrong. Solution: Use mch_getenv() instead of vim_getenv(). Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.0.044 Problem: Using a "containedin" list for a syntax item doesn't work for an item that doesn't have a "contains" argument. Also, "containedin" doesn't ignore a transparent item. (Timo Frenay) Solution: When there is a "containedin" argument somewhere, always check for contained items. Don't check for the transparent item but the item it's contained in. Files: src/structs.h, src/syntax.c Patch 6.0.045 Problem: After creating a fold with a Visual selection, another window with the same buffer still has inverted text.

Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.0.056 Problem: Using "CTRL-Ocw" in Insert mode results in a nested Insert mode.<Esc>doesn't leave Insert mode then. Solution: Only use nested Insert mode when 'insertmode' is set or when a mapping is used. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.057 Problem: Using ":wincmd g}" in a function doesn't work. (Gary Holloway) Solution: Execute the command directly, instead of putting it in the typeahead buffer. Files: src/normal.c, src/proto/normal.pro, src/window.c Patch 6.0.058 Problem: When a Cursorhold autocommand moved the cursor, the ruler wasn't updated.

Solution: Stop displaying the "$" when typing a ')' in its position. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.0.064 (extra) Problem: The NSIS install script doesn't work with newer versions of NSIS. The diff feature doesn't work when there isn't a good diff.exe on the system. Solution: Replace the GetParentDir instruction by a user function. Fix a few cosmetic problems. Use defined constants for the version number, so that it's defined in one place only. Only accept the install directory when it ends in "vim". (Eduardo Fernandez) Add a diff.exe and use it from the default _vimrc. Files: nsis/gvim.nsi, nsis/README.txt, src/dosinst.c Patch 6.0.065 Problem: When using ":normal" in 'indentexpr' it may use redo characters before its argument.

Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.069 Problem: Using "K" on a word that includes a "!" causes a "No previous command" error, because the "!" is expanded. (Craig Jeffries) Solution: Put a backslash before the "!". Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.070 Problem: Win32: The error message for a failed dynamic linking of a Perl, Ruby, Tcl and Python library is unclear about what went wrong.

Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.133 Problem: When opening another buffer while 'keymap' is set and 'iminsert' is zero, 'iminsert' is set to one unexpectedly. (Igor Goldenberg) Solution: Don't set 'iminsert' as a side effect of defining a ":lmap" mapping. Only do that when 'keymap' is set. Files: src/getchar.c, src/option.c Patch 6.0.134 Problem: When completing ":set tags=" a path with an embedded space causes the completion to stop. (Sektor van Skijlen) Solution: Escape spaces with backslashes, like for ":set path=". Also take backslashes into account when searching for the start of the path to complete (e.g., for 'backupdir' and 'cscopeprg'). Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/option.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.0.135 Problem: Menus that are not supposed to do anything used "<Nul>", which still produced an error beep. WhenCTRL-Ois mapped for Insert mode, ":amenu" commands didn't work in Insert mode. Menu language falls back to English when $LANG ends in "@euro". Solution: Use "<Nop>" for a menu item that doesn't do anything, just like mappings. Use ":anoremenu" instead of ":amenu". Ignore "@euro" in the locale name. Files: runtime/makemenu.vim, runtime/menu.vim, src/menu.c Patch 6.0.136 Problem: When completing in Insert mode, a mapping could be unexpectedly applied. Solution: Don't use mappings when checking for a typed character. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0.137 Problem: GUI: When using the find or find/replace dialog from Insert mode, the input mode is stopped. Solution: Don't use the input method status when the main window doesn't have focus. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.0.138 Problem: GUI: When using the find or find/replace dialog from Insert mode, the text is inserted whenCTRL-Ois mapped. (Andre Pang) When opening the dialog again, a whole word search isn't recognized. When doing "replace all" a whole word search was never done. Solution: Don't put a search or replace command in the input buffer, execute it directly. Recognize "\<" and "\>" after removing "\V". Add "\<" and "\>" also for "replace all". Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.0.139 Problem: When stopping 'wildmenu' completion, the statusline of the bottom-left vertically split window isn't redrawn. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Solution: Redraw all the bottom statuslines. Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/proto/screen.pro, src/screen.c Patch 6.0.140 Problem: Memory allocated for local mappings and abbreviations is leaked when the buffer is wiped out. Solution: Clear the local mappings when deleting a buffer. Files: src/buffer.c, src/getchar.c, src/proto/getchar.pro, src/vim.h Patch 6.0.141 Problem: When using ":enew" in an empty buffer, some buffer-local things are not cleared. b:keymap_name is not set. Solution: Clear user commands and mappings local to the buffer when re-using the current buffer. Reload the keymap. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.0.142 Problem: When Python is linked statically, loading dynamic extensions might fail. Solution: Add an extra linking flag when needed. (Andrew Rodionoff) Files: src/configure.in, src/auto/configure Patch 6.0.143 Problem: When a syntax item includes a line break in a pattern, the syntax may not be updated properly when making a change. Solution: Add the "linebreaks" argument to ":syn sync". Files: runtime/doc/syntax.txt, src/screen.c, src/structs.h, src/syntax.c Patch 6.0.144 Problem: After patch 6.0.088 redoing "veU" doesn't work. Solution: Don't add the "U" to the redo buffer, it will be used as an undo command. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.145 Problem: When Vim can't read any input it might get stuck. When redirecting stdin and stderr Vim would not read commands from a file. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: When repeatedly trying to read a character when it's not possible, exit Vim. When stdin and stderr are not a tty, still try reading from them, but don't do a blocking wait. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.0.146 Problem: When 'statusline' contains "%{'-'}" this results in a zero. (Milan Vancura) Solution: Don't handle numbers with a minus as a number, they were not displayed anyway. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.0.147 Problem: It's not easy to mark a Vim version as being modified. The new license requires this. Solution: Add the --modified-by argument to configure and the MODIFIED_BY define. I's used in the intro screen and the ":version" output. Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/config.h.in, src/feature.h, src/version.c Patch 6.0.148 Problem: After "p" in an empty line, `[ goes to the second character. (Kontra Gergely) Solution: Don't increment the column number in an empty line. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.149 Problem: The pattern "\(.\{-}\)*" causes a hang. When using a search pattern that causes a stack overflow to be detected Vim could still hang. Solution: Correctly report "operand could be empty" when using "\{-}". Check for "out_of_stack" inside loops to avoid a hang. Files: src/regexp.c Patch 6.0.150 Problem: When using a multi-byte encoding, patch 6.0.148 causes "p" to work like "P". (Sung-Hyun Nam) Solution: Compute the byte length of a multi-byte character. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.151 Problem: Redrawing the status line and ruler can be wrong when it contains multi-byte characters. Solution: Use character width and byte length correctly. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.0.152 Problem: strtrans() could hang on an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence. Solution: Skip over illegal bytes. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/charset.c Patch 6.0.153 Problem: When using (illegal) double-byte characters and Vim syntax highlighting Vim can crash. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Increase a pointer over a character instead of a byte. Files: src/regexp.c Patch 6.0.154 Problem: MS-DOS and MS-Windows: The menu entries for xxd don't work when there is no xxd in the path. When converting back from Hex the filetype may remain "xxd" if it is not detected. Solution: When xxd is not in the path use the one in the runtime directory, where the install program has put it. Clear the 'filetype' option before detecting the new value. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.0.155 Problem: Mac: compilation problems in ui.c after patch 6.0.145. (Axel Kielhorn) Solution: Don't call mch_inchar() when NO_CONSOLE is defined. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.0.156 Problem: Starting Vim with the -b argument and two files, ":next" doesn't set 'binary' in the second file, like Vim 5.7. (Norman Diamond) Solution: Set the global value for 'binary'. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.157 Problem: When defining a user command with "-complete=dir" files will also be expanded. Also, "-complete=mapping" doesn't appear to work. (Michael Naumann) Solution: Use the expansion flags defined with the user command. Handle expanding mappings specifically. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.0.158 Problem: When getting the warning for a file being changed outside of Vim and reloading the file, the 'readonly' option is reset, even when the permissions didn't change. (Marcel Svitalsky) Solution: Keep 'readonly' set when reloading a file and the permissions didn't change. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.159 Problem: Wildcard expansion for ":emenu" also shows separators. Solution: Skip menu separators for ":emenu", ":popup" and ":tearoff". Also, don't handle ":tmenu" as if it was ":tearoff". And leave out the alternatives with "&" included. Files: src/menu.c Patch 6.0.160 Problem: When compiling with GCC 3.0.2 and using the "-O2" argument, the optimizer causes a problem that makes Vim crash. Solution: Add a configure check to avoid "-O2" for this version of gcc. Files: src/configure.in, src/auto/configure Patch 6.0.161 (extra) Problem: Win32: Bitmaps don't work with signs. Solution: Make it possible to use bitmaps with signs. (Muraoka Taro) Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/feature.h, src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_x11.c, src/proto/gui_w32.pro, src/proto/gui_x11.pro Patch 6.0.162 Problem: Client-server: An error message for a wrong expression appears in the server instead of the client. Solution: Pass the error message from the server to the client. Also adjust the example code. (Flemming Madsen) Files: src/globals.h, src/if_xcmdsrv.c, src/main.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/proto/if_xcmdsrv.pro, src/proto/os_mswin.pro, runtime/doc/eval.txt, runtime/tools/xcmdsrv_client.c Patch 6.0.163 Problem: When using a GUI dialog, a file name is sometimes used like it was a directory. Solution: Separate path and file name properly. For GTK, Motif and Athena concatenate directory and file name for the default selection. Files: src/diff.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_cmds2.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/gui_athena.c, src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_motif.c, src/message.c Patch 6.0.164 Problem: After patch 6.0.135 the menu entries for pasting don't work in Insert and Visual mode. (Muraoka Taro) Solution: Add<script>to allow script-local mappings. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.0.165 Problem: Using --remote and executing locally gives unavoidable error messages. Solution: Add --remote-silent and --remote-wait-silent to silently execute locally. For Win32 there was no error message when a server didn't exist. Files: src/eval.c, src/if_xcmdsrv.c, src/main.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/proto/if_xcmdsrv.pro, src/proto/os_mswin.pro Patch 6.0.166 Problem: GUI: There is no way to avoid dialogs to pop up. Solution: Add the 'c' flag to 'guioptions': Use console dialogs. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/option.h, src/message.c Patch 6.0.167 Problem: When 'fileencodings' is "latin2" some characters in the help files are displayed wrong. Solution: Force the 'fileencoding' for the help files to be "latin1". Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.168 Problem: ":%s/\n/#/" doesn't replace at an empty line. (Bruce DeVisser) Solution: Don't skip matches after joining two lines. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.0.169 Problem: When run as evim and the GUI can't be started we get stuck in a terminal without menus in Insert mode. Solution: Exit when using "evim" and "gvim -y" when the GUI can't be started. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.0.170 Problem: When printing double-width characters the size of tabs after them is wrong. (Muraoka Taro) Solution: Correctly compute the column after a double-width character. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.0.171 Problem: With 'keymodel' including "startsel", in Insert mode after the end of a line, shift-Left does not move the cursor. (Steve Hall) Solution:CTRL-Odoesn't move the cursor left, need to do that explicitly. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0.172 Problem:CTRL-Qdoesn't replaceCTRL-VafterCTRL-Xin Insert mode while it does in most other situations. Solution: MakeCTRL-XCTRL-Qwork likeCTRL-XCTRL-Vin Insert mode. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0.173 Problem: When using "P" to insert a line break the cursor remains past the end of the line. Solution: Check for the cursor being beyond the end of the line. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.174 Problem: After using "gd" or "gD" the search direction for "n" may still be backwards. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Reset the search direction to forward. Files: src/normal.c, src/search.c, src/proto/search.pro Patch 6.0.175 Problem: ":help /\z(\)" doesn't work. (Thomas Koehler) Solution: Double the backslashes. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.0.176 Problem: When killed by a signal autocommands are still triggered as if nothing happened. Solution: Add the v:dying variable to allow autocommands to work differently when a deadly signal has been trapped. Files: src/eval.c, src/os_unix.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.0.177 Problem: When 'commentstring' is empty and 'foldmethod' is "marker", "zf" doesn't work. (Thomas S. Urban) Solution: Add the marker even when 'commentstring' is empty. Files: src/fold.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.0.178 Problem: Uninitialized memory read from xp_backslash field. Solution: Initialize xp_backslash field properly. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/misc1.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.0.179 Problem: Win32: When displaying UTF-8 characters may read uninitialized memory. Solution: Add utfc_ptr2len_check_len() to avoid reading past the end of a string. Files: src/mbyte.c, src/proto/mbyte.pro, src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.0.180 Problem: Expanding environment variables in a string that ends in a backslash could go past the end of the string. Solution: Detect the trailing backslash. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.0.181 Problem: When using ":cd dir" memory was leaked. Solution: Free the allocated memory. Also avoid an uninitialized memory read. Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.0.182 Problem: When using a regexp on multi-byte characters, could try to read a character before the start of the line. Solution: Don't decrement a pointer to before the start of the line. Files: src/regexp.c Patch 6.0.183 Problem: Leaking memory when ":func!" redefines a function. Solution: Free the function name when it's not used. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.184 Problem: Leaking memory when expanding option values. Solution: Don't always copy the expanded option into allocated memory. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.185 Problem: Crash in Vim when pasting a selection in another application, on a 64 bit machine. Solution: Fix the format for an Atom to 32 bits. (Peter Derr) Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.0.186 Problem: X11: Three warnings when compiling the client-server code. Solution: Add a typecast to unsigned char. Files: src/if_xcmdsrv.c Patch 6.0.187 Problem: "I" in Visual mode and then "u" reports too many changes. (Andrew Stryker) "I" in Visual linewise mode adjusts the indent for no apparent reason. Solution: Only save those lines for undo that are changed. Don't change the indent after inserting in Visual linewise mode. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.0.188 Problem: Win32: After patch 6.0.161 signs defined in the vimrc file don't work. Solution: Initialize the sign icons after initializing the GUI. (Vince Negri) Files: src/gui.c, src/gui_x11.c Patch 6.0.189 Problem: The size of the Visual area isn't always displayed when scrolling ('ruler' off, 'showcmd' on). Also not when using a search command. (Sylvain Hitier) Solution: Redisplay the size of the selection after showing the mode. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.0.190 Problem: GUI: when 'mouse' is empty a click with the middle button still moves the cursor. Solution: Paste at the cursor position instead of the mouse position. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.191 Problem: When no servers are available serverlist() gives an error instead of returning an empty string. (Hari Krishna) Solution: Don't give an error message. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.192 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set, "ylj" goes to the wrong column. (Andrew Nikitin) Solution: Reset the flag that w_virtcol is valid when moving the cursor back to the start of the operated area. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.193 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set, col(".") after the end of the line should return one extra. Solution: Add one to the column. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.194 Problem: "--remote-silent" tries to send a reply to the client, like it was "--remote-wait". Solution: Properly check for the argument. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.0.195 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and a search starts in virtual space ":call search('x')" goes to the wrong position. (Eric Long) Solution: Reset coladd when finding a match. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.0.196 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set, 'selection' is "exclusive" and visually selecting part of a tab at the start of a line, "x" joins it with the previous line. Also, when the selection spans more than one line the whole tab is deleted. Solution: Take coladd into account when adjusting for 'selection' being "exclusive". Also expand a tab into spaces when deleting more than one line. Files: src/normal.c, src/ops.c Patch 6.0.197 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and 'selection' is "exclusive", "v$x" doesn't delete the last character in the line. (Eric Long) Solution: Don't reset the inclusive flag. (Helmut Stiegler) Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.198 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and 'showbreak' is not empty, moving the cursor over the line break doesn't work properly. (Eric Long) Solution: Make getviscol() and getviscol2() use getvvcol() to obtain the virtual cursor position. Adjust coladvance() and oneleft() to skip over the 'showbreak' characters. Files: src/edit.c, src/misc2.c Patch 6.0.199 Problem: Multi-byte: could use iconv() after calling iconv_end(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Stop converting input and output stream after calling iconv_end(). Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.0.200 Problem: A script that starts with "#!perl" isn't recognized as a Perl filetype. Solution: Ignore a missing path in a script header. Also, speed up recognizing scripts by simplifying the patterns used. Files: runtime/scripts.vim Patch 6.0.201 Problem: When scrollbinding and doing a long jump, switching windows jumps to another position in the file. Scrolling a few lines at a time is OK. (Johannes Zellner) Solution: When setting w_topline reset the flag that indicates w_botline is valid. Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.0.202 Problem: The "icon=" argument for the menu command to define a toolbar icon with a file didn't work for GTK. (Christian J. Robinson) For Motif and Athena a full path was required. Solution: Search the icon file using the specified path. Expand environment variables in the file name. Files: src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_x11.c Patch 6.0.203 Problem: Can change 'fileformat' even though 'modifiable' is off. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Correct check for kind of set command. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.0.204 Problem: ":unlet" doesn't work for variables with curly braces. (Thomas Scott Urban) Solution: Handle variable names with curly braces properly. (Vince Negri) Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.0.205 (extra) Problem: "gvim -f" still forks when using the batch script to start Vim. Solution: Add an argument to "start" to use a foreground session (Michael Geddes) Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.0.206 Problem: Unix: if expanding a wildcard in a file name results in a wildcard character and there are more parts in the path with a wildcard, it is expanded again. Windows: ":edit \[abc]" could never edit the file "[abc]". Solution: Don't expand wildcards in already expanded parts. Don't remove backslashes used to escape the special meaning of a wildcard; can edit "[abc]" if '[' is removed from 'isfname'. Files: src/misc1.c, src/os_unix.c Patch 6.0.207 (extra) Problem: Win32: The shortcuts and start menu entries let Vim startup in the desktop directory, which is not very useful. Solution: Let shortcuts start Vim in $HOME or $HOMEDIR$HOMEPATH. Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.0.208 Problem: GUI: When using a keymap and the cursor is not blinking, CTRL-^ in Insert mode doesn't directly change the cursor color. (Alex Solow) Solution: Force a redraw of the cursor after CTRL-^. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.0.209 Problem: GUI GTK: After selecting a 'guifont' with the font dialog there are redraw problems for multi-byte characters. Solution: Separate the font dialog from setting the new font name to avoid that "*" is used to find wide and bold fonts. When redrawing extra characters for the bold trick, take care of UTF-8 characters. Files: src/gui.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/option.c, src/proto/gui.pro, src/proto/gui_gtk_x11.pro Patch 6.0.210 Problem: After patch 6.0.167 it's no longer possible to edit a help file in another encoding than latin1. Solution: Let the "++enc=" argument overrule the encoding. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.211 Problem: When reading a file fails, the buffer is empty, but it might still be possible to write it with ":w" later. The original file is lost then. (Steve Amerige) Solution: Set the 'readonly' option for the buffer. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.212 Problem: GUI GTK: confirm("foo", "") causes a crash. Solution: Don't make a non-existing button the default. Add a default "OK" button if none is specified. Files: src/eval.c, src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.0.213 Problem: When a file name contains unprintable characters,CTRL-Gand other commands don't work well. Solution: Turn unprintable into printable characters. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/buffer.c, src/charset.c Patch 6.0.214 Problem: When there is a buffer without a name, empty entries appear in the jumplist saved in the viminfo file. Solution: Don't write jumplist entries without a file name. Files: src/mark.c Patch 6.0.215 Problem: After using "/" from Visual mode the Paste menu and Toolbar entries don't work. Pasting with the middle mouse doesn't work and modeless selection doesn't work. Solution: Use the command line mode menus and use the mouse like in the command line. Files: src/gui.c, src/menu.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.0.216 Problem: After reloading a file, displayed in another window than the current one, which was changed outside of Vim the part of the file around the cursor set by autocommands may be displayed, but jumping back to the original cursor position when entering the window again. Solution: Restore the topline of the window. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.0.217 Problem: When getting help from a help file that was used before, an empty unlisted buffer remains in the buffer list. (Eric Long) Solution: Wipe out the buffer used to do the tag jump from. Files: src/buffer.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/proto/buffer.pro Patch 6.0.218 Problem: With explorer plugin: "vim -o filename dirname" doesn't load the explorer window until entering the window. Solution: Call s:EditDir() for each window after starting up. Files: runtime/plugin/explorer.vim Patch 6.0.219 Problem: ":setlocal" and ":setglobal", without arguments, display terminal options.

Files: runtime/plugin/explorer.vim Patch 6.0.221 Problem: When using ":bdel" and all other buffers are unloaded the lowest numbered buffer is jumped to instead of the most recent one. (Dave Cecil) Solution: Prefer an unloaded buffer from the jumplist. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.0.222 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and using autoindent, pressing Esc after starting a new line leaves behind part of the autoindent. (Helmut Stiegler) Solution: After deleting the last char in the line adjust the cursor position in del_bytes(). Files: src/misc1.c, src/ops.c Patch 6.0.223 Problem: When splitting a window that contains the explorer, hitting CR on a file name gives error messages. Solution: Set the window variables after splitting the window. Files: runtime/plugin/explorer.vim Patch 6.0.224 Problem: When 'sidescroll' and 'sidescrolloff' are set in a narrow window the text may jump left-right and the cursor is displayed in the wrong position. (Aric Blumer) Solution: When there is not enough room, compute the left column for the window to put the cursor in the middle. Files: src/move.c Patch 6.0.225 Problem: In Visual mode "gk" gets stuck in a closed fold. (Srinath Avadhanula) Solution: Behave differently in a closed fold. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.226 Problem: When doing ":recover file" get the ATTENTION prompt. After recovering the same file five times get a read error or a crash. (Alex Davis) Solution: Set the recoverymode flag before setting the file name. Correct the amount of used memory for the size of block zero. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.0.227 (extra) Problem: The RISC OS port has several problems. Solution: Update the makefile and fix some of the problems. (Andy Wingate) Files: src/Make_ro.mak, src/os_riscos.c, src/os_riscos.h, src/proto/os_riscos.pro, src/search.c Patch 6.0.228 Problem: After putting text in Visual mode the '] mark is not at the end of the put text. Undo doesn't work properly when putting a word into a Visual selection that spans more than one line. Solution: Correct the '] mark for the deleting the Visually selected text. #ifdef code that depends on FEAT_VISUAL properly. Also fix that "d" crossing line boundary puts '[ just before deleted text. Fix undo by saving all deleted lines at once. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/globals.h, src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/structs.h, src/vim.h Patch 6.0.229 Problem: Multi-byte: With 'm' in 'formatoptions', formatting doesn't break at a multi-byte char followed by an ASCII char, and the other way around. (Muraoka Taro) When joining lines a space is inserted between multi-byte characters, which is not always wanted. Solution: Check for multi-byte character before and after the breakpoint. Don't insert a space before or after a multi-byte character when joining lines and the 'M' flag is in 'formatoptions'. Don't insert a space between multi-byte characters when the 'B' flag is in 'formatoptions'. Files: src/edit.c, src/ops.c, src/option.h Patch 6.0.230 Problem: The ":" used as a motion after an operator is exclusive, but sometimes it should be inclusive. Solution: Make the "v" in between an operator and motion toggle inclusive/exclusive. (Servatius Brandt) Files: runtime/doc/motion.txt, src/normal.c Patch 6.0.231 Problem: "gd" and "gD" don't work when the variable matches in a comment just above the match to be found. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Continue searching in the first column below the comment. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.0.232 Problem: "vim --version" prints on stderr while "vim --help" prints on stdout.

VERSION 6.2 *version-6.2* This section is about improvements made between version 6.1 and 6.2. This is mainly a bug-fix release. There are also a few new features. Main new features: - Support for GTK 2. (Daniel Elstner) - Support for editing Arabic text. (Nadim Shaikli & Isam Bayazidi) - ":try" command and exception handling. (Servatius Brandt) - Support for the neXtaw GUI toolkit (mostly like Athena). (Alexey Froloff) - Cscope support for Win32. (Khorev Sergey) - Support for PostScript printing in various 8-bit encodings. (Mike Williams) Changed *changed-6.2*
Removed the scheme indent file, the internal Lisp indenting works well now.
Moved the GvimEXt, OleVim and VisVim directories into the "src" directory.
This is more consistent with how xxd is handled.
The VisVim.dll file is installed in the top directory, next to gvimext.dll,
instead of in a subdirectory "VisVim". Fixes that NSIS was uninstalling it
from the wrong directory.
Removed the art indent file, it didn't do anything.
submatch() returned line breaks with CR instead of LF.
Changed the Win32 Makefiles to become more uniform and compile gvimext.dll.
(Dan Sharp)
'cindent': Align a "//" comment with a "//" comment in a previous line.
(Helmut Stiegler)
Previously only for xterm-like terminals parent widgets were followed to find
the title and icon label. Now do this for all terminal emulators.
Made it possible to recognize backslashes for "%" matching. The 'M' flag in
'cpoptions' disables it. (Haakon Riiser)
Removed the Make_tcc.mak makefile for Turbo C. It didn't work and we probably
can't make it work (the compiler runs out of memory).
Even though the documentation refers to keywords, "[ CTRL-D" was using
'isident' to find matches. Changed it to use 'iskeyword'. Also applies to
other commands that search for defined words in included files such as
":dsearch", "[D" and "[d".
Made 'keywordprg' global-local. (Christian Robinson)
Enabled the Netbeans interface by default. Reversed the configure argument
from "--enable-netbeans" to "--disable-netbeans".

Support for neXtaw GUI toolkit, mostly like Athena. (Alexey Froloff)
Win32: cscope support. (Khorev Sergey)
VMS: various improvements to documentation and makefiles. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
Added "x" key to the explorer plugin: execute the default action. (Yasuhiro
Matsumoto)
Compile gvimext.dll with MingW. (Rene de Zwart)
Add the "tohtml.vim" plugin. It defines the ":TOhtml" user command, an easy
way to convert text to HTML.
Added ":try" / ":catch" / ":finally" / ":endtry" commands. Add E999 numbers
to all error messages, so that they can be caught by the number.
(Servatius Brandt)
Moved part of ex_docmd.c to the new ex_eval.c source file.
Include support for GTK+ 2.2.x (Daniel Elstner)
Adds the "~" register: drag & drop text.
Adds the 'toolbariconsize' option.
Add -Dalloca when running lint to work around a problem with alloca()
prototype.
When selecting an item in the error window to jump to, take some effort to
find an ordinary window to show the file in (not a preview window).
Support for PostScript printing of various 8-bit encodings. (Mike Williams)
inputdialog() accepts a third argument that is used when the dialog is
cancelled. Makes it possible to see a difference between cancelling and
entering nothing.
Included Aap recipes. Can be used to update Vim to the latest version,
building and installing.
"/" option in 'cinoptions': extra indent for comment lines. (Helmut Stiegler)
Vim variable "v:register" and functions setreg(), getreg() and getregtype().
(Michael Geddes)
"v" flag in 'cpoptions': Leave text on screen with backspace in Insert mode.
(Phillip Vandry)
Dosinst.exe also finds gvimext.dll in the "GvimExt" directory. Useful when
running install in the "src" directory for testing.
Support tag files that were sorted with case ignored. (Flemming Madsen)
When completing a wildcard in a leading path element, as in "../*/Makefile",
only the last part ("Makefile") was listed. Support custom defined
command line completion. (Flemming Madsen)
Also recognize "rxvt" as an xterm-like terminal. (Tomas Styblo)
Proper X11 session management. Fixes that the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF event was not
used by popular desktops. (Neil Bird)
Not used for Gnome 2, it has its own handling.
Support BOR, DEBUG and SPAWNO arguments for the Borland 3 Makefile. (Walter
Briscoe)
Support page breaks for printing. Adds the "formfeed" field in
'printoptions'. (Mike Williams)
Mac OSX: multi-language support: iconv and gettext. (Muraoka Taro, Axel
Kielhorn)
"\Z" flag in patterns: ignore differences in combining characters. (Ron Aaron)
Added 'preserveindent' and 'copyindent' options. They use existing white
space characters instead of using Tabs as much as possible. (Chris Leishman)
Updated Unicode tables to Unicode 4.0. (Raphael Finkel)
Support for the mouse wheel in rxvt. (AIDA Shinra)
Win32: Added ":8" file modifier to get short filename. Test50 tests the ":8"
expansion on Win32 systems. (Michael Geddes)
'cscopequickfix' option: Open quickfix window for Cscope commands. Also
cleanup the code for giving messages. (Khorev Sergey)
GUI: Support more than 222 columns for mouse positions.
":stopinsert" command: Don't return to Insert mode.
"interrupt" command for debug mode. Useful for simulating CTRL-C. (Servatius
Brandt)
Fixed *fixed-6.2*
Removed a few unused #defines from config.h.in, os_os2_cfg.h and os_vms_conf.h. The Vim icons in PNG format didn't have a transparent background. (Greg Roelofs) Fixed a large number of spelling mistakes in the docs. (Adri Verhoef) The #defines for prototype generation were causing trouble. Changed them to typedefs. A new version of libintl.h uses __asm__, which confuses cproto. Define a dummy __asm__ macro. When 'virtualedit' is set can't move to halfway an unprintable character. CripplesCTRL-Vselection. (Taro Muraoka) Allow moving to halfway an unprintable character. Don't let getvvcol() change the pos->coladd argument. When a tab wraps to the next line, 'listchars' is set and 'foldcolumn' is non-zero, only one character of the foldcolumn is highlighted. (Muraoka Taro) When using ":catch" without an argument Vim crashes. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) When no argument given use the ".*" pattern. Win32: When gvim.exe is started from a shortcut with the window style property set to maximize Vim doesn't start with a maximized window. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Open the window with the default size and don't call ShowWindow() again when it's already visible. (Helmut Stiegler) gui_gtk.c used MAX, but it's undefined to avoid a conflict with system header files. Win32: When closing a window from a mapping some pixels remain on the statusline. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) A column number in an errorformat that goes beyond the end of the line may cause a crash. ":throw 'test'" crashes Vim. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) The file selector's scrollbar colors are not set after doing a ":hi Scrollbar guifg=color". And the file selector's colors are not changed by the colorscheme command. (David Harrison) Motif: When compiling with FEAT_FOOTER defined, the text area gets a few pixels extra space on the right. Remove the special case in gui_get_base_width(). (David Harrison) UsingCTRL-RCTRL-Pin Insert mode puts the '] mark in the wrong position. (Helmut Stiegler) When 'formatoptions' includes "awct" a non-comment wasn't auto-formatted. Using a "--cmd" argument more than 10 times caused a crash. DEC style mouse support didn't work if the page field is not empty. (Uribarri) "vim -l one two" did only set 'lisp' in the first file. Vi does it for every file. ":set tw<" didn't work. Was checking for '^' instead of '<'. In ":hardcopy > %.ps" the "%" was not expanded to the current filename. Made ":redraw" also update the Visual area. When a not implemented command, such as ":perl", has wrong arguments the less important error was reported, giving the user the idea the command could work. On non-Unix systems autocommands for writing did not attempt a match with the short file name, causing a pattern like "a/b" to fail. VMS: e_screenmode was not defined and a few other fixes for VMS. (Zoltan Arpadffy) redraw_msg() depended on FEAT_ARABIC instead of FEAT_RIGHTLEFT. (Walter Briscoe) Various changes for the PC Makefiles. (Walter Briscoe) Use _truename() instead of our own code to expand a file name into a full path. (Walter Briscoe) Error in filetype check for /etc/modutils. (Lubomir Host) Cscope interface: allocated a buffer too small. Win16: remove a trailing backslash from a path when obtaining the permission flags. (Vince Negri) When searching for tags with case ignored Vim could hang. When searching directories with a stopdir could get a crash. Did not re-allocate enough memory. (Vince Negri) A user command may cause a crash. Don't use the command index when it's negative. (Vince Negri) putenv() didn't work for MingW and Cygwin. (Dan Sharp) Many functions were common between os_msdos.c and os_win16.c. Use os_msdos.c for compiling the Win16 version and remove the functions from os_win16.c. (Vince Negri) For terminals that behave like an xterm but didn't have a name that is recognized, the window title would not always be set. When syntax highlighting is off ":hardcopy" could still attempt printing colors. Crash when using ":catch" without an argument. (Servatius Brandt) Win32: ":n #" doubled the backslashes. Fixed Arabic shaping for the command line. (Nadim Shaikli) Avoid splitting up a string displayed on the command line into individual characters, it breaks Arabic shaping. Updated Cygwin and MingW makefiles to use more dependencies. (Dan Sharp) 2html.vim didn't work with 'nomagic' set. When a local argument list is used and doing ":only" Vim could crash later. (Muraoka Taro) When using "%P" in 'statusline' and the fillchar is "-", a percentage of 3% could result in "-3%". Also avoid changing a space inside a filename to the fill character. MSwin: Handling of backslashes and double quotes for command line arguments was not like what other applications do. (Walter Briscoe) Test32 sometimes didn't work, because test11.out was written as TEST11.OUT. Avoid pointer conversions warnings for Borland C 5.5 in dosinst.c and uninstal.c. More improvements for Make_bc3.mak file. (Walter Briscoe) When ":syn sync linebreaks=1" is used, editing the first line caused a redraw of the whole screen. Making translated messages didn't work, if_perl.xs wasn't found. (Vlad Sandrini) Motif and Athena: moving Vim to the foreground didn't uniconify it. Use XMapRaised() instead of XRaiseWindow(). (Srikanth Sankaran) When using ":ptag" in a window where 'scrollbind' is set the preview window would also have 'scrollbind' set. Also reset 'foldcolumn' and 'diff'. Various commands that split a window took over 'scrollbind', which is hardly ever desired. Esp. for "q:" and ":copen". Mostly reset 'scrollbind' when splitting a window. When 'shellslash' is set in the vimrc file the first entry of ":scriptnames" would still have backslashes. Entries in the quickfix list could also have wrong (back)slashes. Win32: printer dialog texts were not translated. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) When using a multi-byte character with a K_SPECIAL byte or a special key code with "--remote-send" the received byte sequence was mangled. Put it in the typeahead buffer instead of the input buffer. Win32: The cursor position was incorrect after changing cursor shape. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto). Win32: When 'encoding' is not the current codepage the title could not be set to non-ascii characters. "vim -d scp://machine/file1 scp://machine/file2" did not work, there was only one window. Fixed the netrw plugin not to wipe out the buffer if it is displayed in other windows. "/$" caused "e" in last column of screen to disappear, a highlighted blank was displayed instead. ":s/ *\ze\n//e" removed the line break and introduced arbitrary text. Was using the line count including what matched after the "\ze". Using the "c" flag with ":s" changed the behavior when a line break is replaced and "\@<=" is used. Without "c" a following match was not found. ":%s/\vA@<=\nB@=//gce" got stuck on "A\nB" when entering "n". VMS: add HAVE_STRFTIME in the config file. (Zoltan Arpadffy) When a delete prompts if a delete should continue when yanking is not possible, restore msg_silent afterwards. ":sign" did not complain about a missing argument. When adding or deleting a sign 'hlsearch' highlighting could disappear. Use the generic functions for updating signs. On MS-Windows NT, 2K and XP don't use command.com but cmd.exe for testing. Makes the tests work on more systems. In the DOS tests don't create "/tmp" to avoid an error. Mac classic: Problems with reading files with CR vs CR/LF. Rely on the library version of fgets() to work correctly for Metrowerks 2.2. (Axel Kielhorn) When typing a password a "*" was shown for each byte instead of for each character. Added multi-byte handling to displaying the stars. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) When using Perl 5.6 accessing $curbuf doesn't work. Add an #ifdef to use different code for 5.6 and 5.8. (Dan Sharp) MingW and Cygwin: Don't strip the debug executable. (Dan Sharp) An assignment to a variable with curlies that includes "==" doesn't work. Skip over the curlies before searching for an "=". (Vince Negri) When cancelling the selection of alternate matching tags the tag stack index could be advanced too far, resulting in an error message when usingCTRL-T. Patch 6.1.001 Problem: When formatting UTF-8 text it might be wrapped at a space that is followed by a composing character. (Raphael Finkel) Also correct a display error for removing a composing char on top of a space. Solution: Check for a composing character on a space. Files: src/edit.c, src/misc1.c, src/screen.c Patch 6.1.002 (extra) Problem: Win32: after a ":popup" command the mouse pointer stays hidden. Solution: Unhide the mouse pointer before showing the menu. Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.1.003 Problem: When 'laststatus' is zero and there is a vertical split, the vertical separator is drawn in the command line. (Srikant Sankaran) Solution: Don't draw the vertical separator where there is no statusline. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.1.004 Problem: Unicode 3.2 changes width and composing of a few characters. (Markus Kuhn) Solution: Adjust the Unicode functions for the character width and composing characters. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.1.005 Problem: When using more than 50 items in 'statusline' Vim might crash. (Steve Hall) Solution: Increment itemcnt in check_stl_option(). (Flemming Madsen) Files: src/option.c Patch 6.1.006 Problem: When using "P" in Visual mode to put linewise selected text, the wrong text is deleted. (Jakub Turski) Solution: Put the text before the Visual area and correct the text to be deleted for the inserted lines. Also fix that "p" of linewise text in Visual block mode doesn't work correctly. Files: src/normal.c, src/ops.c Patch 6.1.007 Problem: Using ":filetype plugin off" when filetype plugins were never enabled causes an error message. (Yiu Wing) Solution: Use ":silent!" to avoid the error message. Files: runtime/ftplugof.vim Patch 6.1.008 Problem: The "%" command doesn't ignore \" inside a string, it's seen as the end of the string. (Ken Clark) Solution: Skip a double quote preceded by an odd number of backslashes. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.1.009 Problem: Vim crashes when using a huge number for the maxwid value in a statusline. (Robert M. Nowotniak) Solution: Check for an overflow that makes maxwid negative. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.1.010 Problem: Searching backwards for a question mark with "?\?" doesn't work. (Alan Isaac) Same problem in ":s?\??" and ":g?\??". Solution: Change the "\?" in a pattern to "?" when using "?" as delimiter.

Also, a focus problem when selecting candidates. Solution: Fix the XIM problems. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/mbyte.c, src/screen.c Patch 6.1.012 Problem: A system() call might fail if fread() does CR-LF to LF translation. Solution: Open the output file in binary mode. (Pavol Huhas) Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.1.013 Problem: Win32: The default for 'printexpr' doesn't work when there are special characters in 'printdevice'. Solution: Add double quotes around the device name. (Mike Williams) Files: runtime/doc/option.txt, src/option.c Patch 6.1.014 Problem: An operator like "r" used in Visual block mode doesn't use 'virtualedit' when it's set to "block". Solution: Check for 'virtualedit' being active in Visual block mode when the operator was started. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/globals.h, src/misc2.c, src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/undo.c Patch 6.1.015 Problem: After patch 6.1.014 can't compile with tiny features. (Christian J. Robinson) Solution: Add the missing define of virtual_op. Files: src/vim.h Patch 6.1.016 (extra) Problem: Win32: Outputting Hebrew or Arabic text might have a problem with reversing. Solution: Replace the RevOut() function with ETO_IGNORELANGUAGE. (Ron Aaron) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.1.017 Problem: Cygwin: After patch 6.1.012 Still doesn't do binary file I/O. (Pavol Juhas) Solution: Define BINARY_FILE_IO for Cygwin. Files: src/os_unix.h Patch 6.1.018 Problem: Error message when using cterm highlighting. (Leonardo Di Lella) Solution: Remove a backslash before a question mark. Files: runtime/syntax/cterm.vim Patch 6.1.019 (extra) Problem: Win32: File name is messed up when editing just a drive name. (Walter Briscoe) Solution: Append a NUL after the drive name. (Vince Negri) Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.1.020 Problem: col("'>") returns a huge number after using Visual line mode. Solution: Return the length of the line instead. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.1.021 (depends on patch 6.1.009) Problem: Vim crashes when using a huge number for the minwid value in a statusline. (Robert M. Nowotniak) Solution: Check for an overflow that makes minwid negative. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.1.022 Problem: Grabbing the status line above the command-line window works like the bottom status line was grabbed. (Jim Battle) Solution: Make it possible to grab the status line above the command-line window, so that it can be resized. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.1.023 (extra) Problem: VMS: running tests doesn't work properly. Solution: Adjust the makefile. (Zoltan Arpadffy) Files: src/testdir/Make_vms.mms Patch 6.1.024 Problem: When header files use a new syntax for declaring functions, Vim can't figure out missing prototypes properly. Solution: Accept braces around a function name. (M. Warner Losh) Files: src/osdef.sh Patch 6.1.025 Problem: Five messages for "vim --help" don't start with a capital. (Vlad Sandrini) Solution: Make the messages consistent. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.1.026 Problem: *.patch files are not recognized as diff files. In a script a "VAR=val" argument after "env" isn't ignored. PHP scripts are not recognized. Solution: Add *.patch for diff filetypes. Ignore "VAR=val". Recognize PHP scripts. (Roman Neuhauser) Files: runtime/filetype.vim, runtime/scripts.vim Patch 6.1.027 Problem: When 'foldcolumn' is non-zero, a special character that wraps to the next line disturbs the foldcolumn highlighting. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Only use the special highlighting when drawing text characters. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.1.028 Problem: Client-server: When a --remote-expr fails, Vim still exits with status zero. Solution: Exit Vim with a non-zero status to indicate the --remote-expr failed. (Thomas Scott Urban) Files: src/main.c Patch 6.1.029 Problem: When 'encoding' is an 8-bit encoding other than "latin1", editing a utf-8 or other Unicode file uses the wrong conversion. (Jan Fedak) Solution: Don't use Unicode to latin1 conversion for 8-bit encodings other than "latin1". Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.1.030 Problem: WhenCTRL-Nis mapped in Insert mode, it is also mapped afterCTRL-XCTRL-N, while it is not mapped afterCTRL-XCTRL-F. (Kontra Gergely) Solution: Don't mapCTRL-NafterCTRL-XCTRL-N. Same forCTRL-P. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.1.031 Problem: Cygwin: Xxd could read a file in text mode intead of binary mode. Solution: Use "rb" or "rt" when needed. (Pavol Juhas) Files: src/xxd/xxd.c Patch 6.1.032 Problem: Can't specify a quickfix file without jumping to the first error.

Files: src/feature.h, src/proto/gui.pro, src/gui.c, src/gui.h, src/gui_motif.c, src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.1.045 Problem: In Visual mode, with lots of folds and 'scrolloff' set to 999, moving the cursor down near the end of the file causes the text to jump up and down. (Lubomir Host) Solution: Take into account that the cursor may be on the last line of a closed fold. Files: src/move.c Patch 6.1.046 Problem: X11 GUI: ":set lsp=2 gcr=n-v-i:hor1-blinkon0" draws a black rectangle. ":set lsp=2 gcr=n-v-i:hor10-blinkon0" makes the cursor disappear. (Nam SungHyun) Solution: Correctly compute the height of the horizontal cursor. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/gui_x11.c Patch 6.1.047 Problem: When skipping commands after an error was encountered, expressions for ":if", ";elseif" and ":while" are still evaluated. Solution: Skip the expression after an error. (Servatius Brandt) Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.1.048 Problem: Unicode 3.2 changes were missing a few Hangul Jamo characters. Solution: Recognize more characters as composing characters. (Jungshik Shin) Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.1.049 (extra) Problem: On a 32 bit display a valid color may cause an error message, because its pixel value is negative. (Chris Paulson-Ellis) Solution: Check for -11111 instead of the color being negative. Don't add one to the pixel value, -1 may be used for white. Files: src/globals.h, src/gui.c, src/gui.h, src/gui_amiga.c, src/gui_athena.c, src/gui_beos.cc, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/gui_mac.c, src/gui_motif.c, src/gui_photon.c, src/gui_riscos.c, src/gui_w16.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c, src/gui_x11.c, src/mbyte.c, src/syntax.c Patch 6.1.050 (depends on 6.1.049) Problem: After patch 6.1.049 the non-GUI version doesn't compile. Solution: Add an #ifdef FEAT_GUI. (Robert Stanton) Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.1.051 (depends on 6.1.044) Problem: Doesn't compile with GUI and small features. Solution: Adjust the #if for ga_append(). Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.1.052 Problem: Unix: The executable() function doesn't work when the "which" command isn't available. Solution: Go through $PATH manually. Also makes it work for VMS.

Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_cmds2.c, src/proto/ex_cmds2.pro, VisVim/Commands.cpp Patch 6.1.174 Problem: It is difficult to know in a script whether an option not only exists but really works. Solution: Add "exists('+option')". Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt, src/eval.c Patch 6.1.175 Problem: When reading commands from a pipe and aCTRL-Cis pressed, Vim will hang. (Piet Delport) Solution: Don't keep reading characters to clear typeahead when an interrupt was detected, stop when a singleCTRL-Cis read. Files: src/getchar.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.1.176 Problem: When the stack limit is very big a false out-of-stack error may be detected. Solution: Add a check for overflow of the stack limit computation. (Jim Dunleavy) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.1.177 (depends on 6.1.141) Problem: ":wincmd" does not allow a following command. (Gary Johnson) Solution: Check for a following " | cmd".

(Peter Karp) Solution: Don't output a space to mark the wrap, but the same character again. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.1.182 (depends on 6.1.142) Problem: It is not possible to auto-format comments only. (Moshe Kaminsky) Solution: When the 'a' and 'c' flags are in 'formatoptions' only auto-format comments. Files: runtime/doc/change.txt, src/edit.c Patch 6.1.183 Problem: When 'fencs' is empty and 'enc' is utf-8, reading a file with illegal bytes gives "CONVERSION ERROR" even though no conversion is done.

(Dave Fishburn) Solution: Check for a negative syntax id, used for keywords. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.1.194 Problem: When "t_ti" is set but it doesn't cause swapping terminal pages, "ZZ" may cause the shell prompt to appear on top of the file-write message. Solution: Scroll the text up in the Vim page before swapping to the terminal page. (Michael Schroeder) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.1.195 Problem: The quickfix and preview windows always keep their height, while other windows can't fix their height.

(Tony Mechelynck) Solution: Turn the script name into a full path before using it. On Unix compare inode/device numbers. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.1.218 Problem: No error message for using the function argument "5+". (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Give an error message if a function or variable is expected but is not found. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.1.219 Problem: When using ":amenu :b 1<CR>" with a Visual selection and 'insertmode' is set, Vim does not return to Insert mode. (Mickael Marchand) Solution: Add the command CTRL-\CTRL-Gthat goes to Insert mode if 'insertmode' is set and to Normal mode otherwise. Append this to menus defined with ":amenu". Files: src/edit.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.1.220 Problem: When using a BufReadPost autocommand that changes the line count, e.g., "$-1join", reloading a file that was changed outside Vim does not work properly. (Alan G Isaac) Solution: Make the buffer empty before reading the new version of the file. Save the lines in a dummy buffer, so that they can be put back when reading the file fails. Files: src/buffer.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/fileio.c, src/globals.h, src/proto/buffer.pro Patch 6.1.221 Problem: Changing case may not work properly, depending on the current locale. Solution: Add the 'casemap' option to let the user chose how changing case is to be done. Also fix lowering case when an UTF-8 character doesn't keep the same byte length.

(Muraoka Taro) All systems: 'iminsert' is set to 2 when leaving Insert mode, even when langmap is being used. (Peter Valach) Solution: Don't set "b_p_iminsert" in _OnImeNotify(). (Muraoka Taro) Don't store the status of the input method in 'iminsert' when 'iminsert' is one. Also for editing the command line and for arguments to Normal mode commands. Files: src/edit.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.1.224 Problem: "expand('$VAR')" returns an empty string when the expanded $VAR is not an existing file. (Aric Blumer) Solution: Included non-existing files, as documented. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.1.225 Problem: Using<C-O><C-^>in Insert mode has a delay when starting "vim -u NONE" and ":set nocp hidden". (Emmanuel) do_ecmd() uses fileinfo(), the redraw is done after a delay to give the user time to read the message. Solution: Put the message from fileio() in "keep_msg", so that the redraw is done before the delay (still needed to avoid the mode message overwrites the fileinfo() message). Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.1.226 Problem: Using ":debug" with a ":normal" command may cause a hang. (Colin Keith) Solution: Save the typeahead buffer when obtaining a debug command. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c, src/getchar.c, src/proto/getchar.pro Patch 6.1.227 Problem: It is possible to use a variable name "asdf:asdf" and ":let j:asdf = 5" does not give an error message. (Mikolaj Machowski) Solution: Check for a ":" inside the variable name. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.1.228 (extra) Problem: Win32: The special output function for Hangul is used too often, causing special handling for other situations to be skipped. bInComposition is always FALSE, causing ImeGetTempComposition() always to return NULL.

Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.1.243 (extra) Problem: Win32: When the OLE version is started and wasn't registered, a message pops up to suggest registering, even when this isn't possible (when the registry is not writable). Solution: Check if registering is possible before asking whether it should be done. (Walter Briscoe) Also avoid restarting Vim after registering. Files: src/if_ole.cpp Patch 6.1.244 Problem: Patch 6.1.237 was missing the diff for vim.h. (Igor Goldenberg) Solution: Include it here. Files: src/vim.h Patch 6.1.245 Problem: Comparing with ignored case does not work properly for Unicode with a locale where case folding an ASCII character results in a multi-byte character. (Glenn Maynard) Solution: Handle ignore-case compare for Unicode differently. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.1.246 Problem: ":blast" goes to the first buffer if the last one is unlisted.

VERSION 6.3 *version-6.3* This section is about improvements made between version 6.2 and 6.3. This is mainly a bug-fix release. There are also a few new features. The major number of new items is in the runtime files and translations. Changed *changed-6.3*
The intro message also displays a note about sponsoring Vim, mixed randomly
with the message about helping children in Uganda.
Included the translated menus, keymaps and tutors with the normal runtime
files. The separate "lang" archive now only contains translated messages.
Made the translated menu file names a bit more consistent. Use "latin1" for
"iso_8859-1" and "iso_8859-15".
Removed the "file_select.vim" script from the distribution. It's not more
useful than other scripts that can be downloaded from www.vim.org.
The "runtime/doc/tags" file is now always in unix fileformat. On MS-Windows
it used to be dos fileformat, but ":helptags" generates a unix format file.
Added *added-6.3*

(idea from Yakov Lerner) The big Win32 version is now compiled with Ruby interface, version 1.8. For Python version 2.3 is used. For Perl version 5.8 is used. The "ftdetect" directory is mentioned in the documentation. The DOS install program creates it. Fixed *fixed-6.3*
Test 42 failed on MS-Windows. Set and reset 'fileformat' and 'binary' options here and there. (Walter Briscoe) The explorer plugin didn't work for double-byte 'encoding's. Use "copy /y" in Make_bc5.mak to avoid a prompt for overwriting. Patch 6.2.001 Problem: The ":stopinsert" command doesn't have a help tag. Solution: Add the tag. (Antoine J. Mechelynck) Files: runtime/doc/insert.txt, runtime/doc/tags Patch 6.2.002 Problem: When compiled with the +multi_byte feature but without +eval, displaying UTF-8 characters may cause a crash. (Karsten Hopp) Solution: Also set the default for 'ambiwidth' when compiled without the +eval feature.

(Alexey Froloff) Files: src/feature.h Patch 6.2.016 Problem: Using ":scscope find" with 'cscopequickfix' does not always split the window. (Gary Johnson) Win32: ":cscope add" could make the script that contains it read-only until the corresponding ":cscope kill". Errors during ":cscope add" may not be handled properly. Solution: When using the quickfix window may need to split the window. Avoid file handle inheritance for the script. Check for a failed connection and/or process. (Sergey Khorev) Files: src/ex_cmds2.c, src/if_cscope.c Patch 6.2.017 Problem: Test11 sometimes prompts the user, because a file would have been changed outside of Vim. (Antonio Colombo) Solution: Add a FileChangedShell autocommand to avoid the prompt. Files: src/testdir/test11.in Patch 6.2.018 Problem: When using the XSMP protocol and reading from stdin Vim may wait for a key to be pressed. Solution: Avoid that RealWaitForChar() is used recursively. Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.019 (lang) Problem: Loading the Portuguese menu causes an error message. Solution: Join two lines.

Add a window number argument to ":resize" to be able to set the size of other windows, because the current window cannot be zero-height. Fix the explorer plugin to avoid changing the window sizes. Add the winrestcmd() function for this. Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt, runtime/plugin/explorer.vim, src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/proto/window.pro, src/window.c Patch 6.2.186 (after 6.2.185) Problem: Documentation file eval.txt contains examples without indent. Solution: Insert the indent. Also fix other mistakes. Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt Patch 6.2.187 Problem: Using Insure++ reveals a number of bugs. (Dominuque Pelle) Solution: Initialize variables where needed. Free allocated memory to avoid leaks. Fix comparing tags to avoid reading past allocated memory. Files: src/buffer.c, src/diff.c, src/fileio.c, src/mark.c, src/misc1.c, src/misc2.c, src/ops.c, src/option.c, src/tag.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.2.188 (extra) Problem: MS-Windows: Multi-byte characters in a filename cause trouble for the window title. Solution: Return when the wide function for setting the title did its work. Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.189 Problem: When setting 'viminfo' after editing a new buffer its marks are not stored. (Keith Roberts) Solution: Set the "b_marks_read" flag when skipping to read marks from the viminfo file. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.190 Problem: When editing a compressed files, marks are lost. Solution: Add the ":lockmarks" modifier and use it in the gzip plugin. Make exists() also check for command modifiers, so that the existence of ":lockmarks" can be checked for. Also add ":keepmarks" to avoid that marks are deleted when filtering text. When deleting lines put marks 'A - 'Z and '0 - '9 at the first deleted line instead of clearing the mark. They were kept in the viminfo file anyway. Avoid that the gzip plugin puts deleted text in registers. Files: runtime/doc/motion.txt, runtime/plugin/gzip.vim, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/mark.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.191 Problem: The intro message is outdated. Information about sponsoring and registering is missing. Solution: Show info about sponsoring and registering Vim in the intro message now and then. Add help file about sponsoring. Files: runtime/doc/help.txt, runtime/doc/sponsor.txt, runtime/doc/tags, runtime/menu.vim, src/version.c Patch 6.2.192 Problem: UsingCTRL-TandCTRL-Dwith "gR" messes up the text. (Jonahtan Hankins) Solution: Avoid calling change_indent() recursively. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.193 Problem: When recalling a search pattern from the history from a ":s,a/c," command the '/' ends the search string. (JC van Winkel) Solution: Store the separator character with the history entries. Escape characters when needed, replace the old separator with the new one. Also fixes that recalling a "/" search for a "?" command messes up trailing flags. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/ex_getln.pro, src/search.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.194 (after 6.2.068) Problem: For NetBeans, instead of writing the file and sending an event about it, tell NetBeans to write the file. Solution: Add the "save" command, "netbeansBuffer" command and "buttonRelease" event to the netbeans protocol. Updated the interface to version 2.2. (Gordon Prieur) Also: open a fold when the cursor has been positioned. Also: fix memory leak, free result of nb_quote(). Files: runtime/doc/netbeans.txt, src/fileio.c, src/netbeans.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/netbeans.pro, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.195 (after 6.2.190) Problem: Compiling fails for missing CPO_REMMARK symbol. Solution: Add the patch I forgot to include... Files: src/option.h Patch 6.2.196 (after 6.2.191) Problem: Rebuilding the documentation doesn't use the sponsor.txt file. Solution: Add sponsor.txt to the Makefile. (Christian J. Robinson) Files: runtime/doc/Makefile Patch 6.2.197 Problem: It is not possible to force a redraw of status lines. (Gary Johnson) Solution: Add the ":redrawstatus" command. Files: runtime/doc/various.txt, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/screen.c Patch 6.2.198 Problem: A few messages are not translated. (Ernest Adrogue) Solution: Mark the messages to be translated. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.199 (after 6.2.194) Problem: Vim doesn't work perfectly well with NetBeans. Solution: When NetBeans saves the file, reset the timestamp to avoid "file changed" warnings. Close a buffer in a proper way. Don't try giving a debug message with an invalid pointer. Send a newDotAndMark message when needed. Report a change by the "r" command to NetBeans. (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/netbeans.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.2.200 Problem: When recovering a file, 'fileformat' is always the default, thus writing the file may result in differences. (Penelope Fudd) Solution: Before recovering the file try reading the original file to obtain the values of 'fileformat', 'fileencoding', etc. Files: src/memline.c Patch 6.2.201 Problem: When 'autowriteall' is set ":qall" still refuses to exit if there is a modified buffer. (Antoine Mechelynck) Solution: Attempt writing modified buffers as intended. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.202 Problem: Filetype names of CHILL and ch script are confusing. Solution: Rename "ch" to "chill" and "chscript" to "ch". Files: runtime/filetype.vim, runtime/makemenu.vim, runtime/synmenu.vim runtime/syntax/ch.vim, runtime/syntax/chill.vim Patch 6.2.203 Problem: With characterwise text that has more than one line, "3P" works wrong. "3p" has the same problem. There also is a display problem. (Daniel Goujot) Solution: Perform characterwise puts with a count in the right position. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.204 (after 6.2.086) Problem: "]]" in a file with closed folds moves to the end of the file. (Nam SungHyun) Solution: Find one position in each closed fold, then move to after the fold. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.2.205 (extra) Problem: MS-Windows: When the taskbar is at the left or top of the screen, the Vim window placement is wrong. Solution: Compute the size and position of the window correctly. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.206 Problem: Multi-byte characters cannot be used as hotkeys in a console dialog. (Mattias Erkisson) Solution: Handle multi-byte characters properly. Also put () or [] around default hotkeys. Files: src/message.c, src/macros.h Patch 6.2.207 Problem: When 'encoding' is a multi-byte encoding, expanding an abbreviation that starts where insertion started results in characters before the insertion to be deleted. (Xiangjiang Ma) Solution: Stop searching leftwards for the start of the word at the position where insertion started. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.2.208 Problem: When using fold markers, three lines in a row have the start marker and deleting the first one with "dd", a nested fold is not deleted. (Kamil Burzynski) Using marker folding, a level 1 fold doesn't stop when it is followed by "{{{2", starting a level 2 fold. Solution: Don't stop updating folds at the end of a change when the nesting level of folds is larger than the fold level. Correctly compute the number of folds that start at "{{{2". Also avoid a crash for a NULL pointer. Files: src/fold.c Patch 6.2.209 Problem: A bogus fold is created when using "P" while the cursor is in the middle of a closed fold. (Kamil Burzynski) Solution: Correct the line number where marks are modified for closed folds. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.210 (extra) Problem: Mac OSX: antialiased fonts are not supported. Solution: Add the 'antialias' option to switch on antialiasing on Mac OSX 10.2 and later. (Peter Cucka) Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/gui_mac.c, src/option.h, src/option.c Patch 6.2.211 (extra) Problem: Code for handling file dropped on Vim is duplicated. Solution: Move the common code to gui_handle_drop(). Add code to drop the files in the window under the cursor. Support drag&drop on the Macintosh. (Taro Muraoka) When dropping a directory name edit that directory (using the explorer plugin) Fix that changing directory with Shift pressed didn't work for relative path names. Files: src/fileio.c, src/gui.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/gui_mac.c, src/gui_w48.c, src/proto/fileio.pro, src/proto/gui.pro Patch 6.2.212 (after 6.2.199) Problem: NetBeans: Replacing with a count is not handled correctly. Solution: Move reporting the change outside of the loop for the count. (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.213 (after 6.2.208) Problem: Using marker folding, "{{{1" doesn't start a new fold when already at fold level 1. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Correctly compute the number of folds that start at "{{{1". Files: src/fold.c Patch 6.2.214 (after 6.2.211) (extra) Problem: Warning for an unused variable. Solution: Delete the declaration. (Bill McCarthy) Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.215 Problem: NetBeans: problems saving an unmodified file. Solution: Add isNetbeansModified() function. Disable netbeans_unmodified(). (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/fileio.c, src/netbeans.c, src/proto/netbeans.pro, runtime/doc/netbeans.txt, runtime/doc/tags Patch 6.2.216 (after 6.2.206) Problem: Multi-byte characters stil cannot be used as hotkeys in a console dialog. (Mattias Erkisson) Solution: Make get_keystroke() handle multi-byte characters. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.217 Problem: GTK: setting the title doesn't always work correctly. Solution: Invoke gui_mch_settitle(). (Tomas Stehlik) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.218 Problem: Warning for function without prototype. Solution: Add argument types to the msgCB field of the BalloonEval struct. Files: src/gui_beval.h Patch 6.2.219 Problem: Syntax highlighting hangs on an empty match of an item with a nextgroup. (Charles Campbell) Solution: Remember that the item has already matched and don't match it again at the same position. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.220 Problem: When a Vim server runs in a console a remote command isn't handled before a key is typed. (Joshua Neuheisel) Solution: Don't try reading more input when a client-server command has been received. Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.221 Problem: No file name completion for ":cscope add". Solution: Add the XFILE flag to ":cscope". (Gary Johnson) Files: src/ex_cmds.h Patch 6.2.222 Problem: Using "--remote" several times on a row only opens some of the files. (Dany St-Amant) Solution: Don't delete all typehead when the server receives a command from a client, only delete typed characters. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.2.223 Problem: Cscope: Avoid a hang when cscope waits for a response while Vim waits for a prompt. Error messages from Cscope mess up the display. Solution: Detect the hit-enter message and respond by sending a return character to cscope. (Gary Johnson) Use EMSG() and strerror() when possible. Replace perror() with PERROR() everywhere, add emsg3(). Files: src/diff.c, src/if_cscope.c, src/integration.c, src/message.c, src/proto/message.pro, src/misc2.c, src/netbeans.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.224 Problem: Mac: Can't compile with small features. (Axel Kielhorn) Solution: Also include vim_chdirfile() when compiling for the Mac. Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.225 Problem: NetBeans: Reported modified state isn't exactly right. Solution: Report a file being modified in the NetBeans way. Files: src/netbeans.c Patch 6.2.226 (after 6.2.107) (extra) Problem: The "ws2-32.lib" file isn't always available. Solution: Use "WSock32.lib" instead. (Taro Muraoka, Dan Sharp) Files: src/Make_cyg.mak, src/Make_ming.mak, src/Make_mvc.mak Patch 6.2.227 (extra) Problem: The "PC" symbol is defined but not used anywhere. Solution: Remove "-DPC" from the makefiles. Files: src/Make_bc3.mak, src/Make_bc5.mak, src/Make_cyg.mak, src/Make_ming.mak Patch 6.2.228 Problem: Receiving CTRL-\CTRL-Nafter typing "f" or "m" doesn't switch Vim back to Normal mode. Same for CTRL-\CTRL-G. Solution: Check if the character typed after a command is CTRL-\ and obtain another character to check forCTRL-NorCTRL-G, waiting up to 'ttimeoutlen' msec. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.229 Problem: ":function" with a name that uses magic curlies does not work inside a function. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Skip over the function name properly. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.230 (extra) Problem: Win32: a complex pattern may cause a crash. Solution: Use __try and __except to catch the exception and handle it gracefully, when possible. Add myresetstkoflw() to reset the stack overflow. (Benjamin Peterson) Files: src/Make_bc5.mak, src/os_mswin.c src/os_win32.c, src/os_win32.h, src/proto/os_win32.pro, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.231 (after 6.2.046) Problem: Various problems when an error exception is raised from within a builtin function. When it is invoked while evaluating arguments to a function following arguments are still evaluated. When invoked with a line range it will be called for remaining lines. Solution: Update "force_abort" also after calling a builtin function, so that aborting() always returns the correct value. (Servatius Brandt) Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_eval.c, src/proto/ex_eval.pro, src/testdir/test49.ok, src/testdir/test49.vim Patch 6.2.232 Problem: ":python vim.command('python print 2*2')" crashes Vim. (Eugene Minkovskii) Solution: Disallow executing a Python command recursively and give an error message. Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.2.233 Problem: On Mac OSX adding -pthread for Python only generates a warning. The test for Perl threads rejects Perl while it's OK. Tcl doesn't work at all. The test for Ruby fails if ruby exists but there are no header files. The Ruby library isn't detected properly Solution: Avoid adding -pthread on Mac OSX. Accept Perl threads when it's not the 5.5 threads. Use the Tcl framework for header files. For Ruby rename cWindow to cVimWindow to avoid a name clash. (Ken Scott) Only enable Ruby when the header files can be found. Use "-lruby" instead of "libruby.a" when it can't be found. Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/if_ruby.c Patch 6.2.234 Problem: GTK 2 GUI: ":sp" and the ":q" leaves the cursor on the command line. Solution: Flush output before removing scrollbars. Also do this in other places where gui_mch_*() functions are invoked. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/option.c, src/window.c Patch 6.2.235 (extra) Problem: Win32: Cursor isn't removed with a 25x80 window and doing: "1830ia<Esc>400a-<Esc>0w0". (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Remove the call to gui_undraw_cursor() from gui_mch_insert_lines(). Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.236 Problem: Using gvim with Agide gives "connection lost" error messages. Solution: Only give the "connection lost" message when the buffer was once owned by NetBeans. Files: src/netbeans.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.237 Problem: GTK 2: Thai text is drawn wrong. It changes when moving the cursor over it. Solution: Disable the shaping engine, it moves combining characters to a wrong position and combines characters, while drawing the cursor doesn't combine characters. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.238 (after 6.2.231) Problem: ":function" does not work inside a while loop. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Add get_while_line() and pass it to do_one_cmd() when in a while loop, so that all lines are stored and can be used again when repeating the loop. Adjust test 49 so that it checks for the fixed problems. (Servatius Brandt) Files: src/digraph.c, src/ex_cmds2.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_eval.c, src/proto/ex_cmds2.pro, src/proto/ex_docmd.pro, src/testdir/test49.in, src/testdir/test49.ok, src/testdir/test49.vim Patch 6.2.239 Problem: GTK 2: With closed folds the arrow buttons of a vertical scrollbar often doesn't scroll. (Moshe Kaminsky) Solution: Hackish solution: Detect that the button was pressed from the mouse pointer position. Files: src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui.c Patch 6.2.240 Problem: GTK 2: Searching for bitmaps for the toolbar doesn't work as with other systems. Need to explicitly use "icon=name". (Ned Konz, Christian J. Robinson) Solution: Search for icons like done for Motif. Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.241 Problem: GTK 2: Search and Search/Replace dialogs are synced, that makes no sense. Buttons are sometimes greyed-out. (Jeremy Messenger) Solution: Remove the code to sync the two dialogs. Adjust the code to react to an empty search string to also work for GTK2. (David Necas) Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.242 Problem: Gnome: "vim --help" only shows the Gnome arguments, not the Vim arguments. Solution: Don't let the Gnome code remove the "--help" argument and don't exit at the end of usage(). Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/main.c Patch 6.2.243 (extra) Problem: Mac: Dropping a file on a Vim icon causes a hit-enter prompt. Solution: Move the dropped files to the global argument list, instead of the usual drop handling. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/main.c, src/gui_mac.c Patch 6.2.244 Problem: ':echo "\xf7"' displays the illegal byte as if it was a character and leaves "cho" after it. Solution: When checking the length of a UTF-8 byte sequence and it's shorter than the number of bytes available, assume it's an illegal byte. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.245 Problem: Completion doesn't work for ":keepmarks" and ":lockmarks". Solution: Add the command modifiers to the table of commands. (Madoka Machitani) Files: src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.246 Problem: Mac: Starting Vim from Finder doesn't show error messages. Solution: Recognize that output is being displayed by stderr being "/dev/console". (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/main.c, src/message.c Patch 6.2.247 (after 6.2.193) Problem: When using a search pattern from the viminfo file the last character is replaced with a '/'. Solution: Store the separator character in the right place. (Kelvin Lee) Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.2.248 Problem: GTK: When XIM is enabled normal "2" and keypad "2" cannot be distinguished. Solution: Detect that XIM changes the keypad key to the expected ASCII character and fall back to the non-XIM code. (Neil Bird) Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/mbyte.c, src/proto/mbyte.pro Patch 6.2.249 Problem: ":cnext" moves to the error in the next file, but there is no method to go back. Solution: Add ":cpfile" and ":cNfile". Files: src/ex_cmds.h, src/quickfix.c, src/vim.h, runtime/doc/quickfix.txt Patch 6.2.250 Problem: Memory leaks when using signs. (Xavier de Gaye) Solution: Delete the list of signs when unloading a buffer. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.2.251 Problem: GTK: The 'v' flag in 'guioptions' doesn't work. (Steve Hall) Order of buttons is reversed for GTK 2.2.4. Don't always get focus back after handling a dialog. Solution: Make buttons appear vertically when desired. Reverse the order in which buttons are added to a dialog. Move mouse pointer around when the dialog is done and we don't have focus. Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.252 (extra, after 6.2.243) Problem: Mac: Dropping a file on a Vim icon causes a hit-enter prompt for Mac OS classic. Solution: Remove the #ifdef from the code that fixes it for Mac OSX. Files: src/gui_mac.c Patch 6.2.253 Problem: When 'tagstack' is not set a ":tag id" command does not work after a ":tjump" command. Solution: Set "new_tag" when 'tagstack' isn't set. (G. Narendran) Files: src/tag.c Patch 6.2.254 Problem: May run out of space for error messages. Solution: Keep room for two more bytes. Files: src/quickfix.c Patch 6.2.255 Problem: GTK: A new item in the popup menu is put just after instead of just before the right item. (Gabriel Zachmann) Solution: Don't increment the menu item index. Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.256 Problem: Mac: "macroman" encoding isn't recognized, need to use "8bit-macroman. Solution: Recognize "macroman" with an alias "mac". (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.257 (after 6.2.250) Problem: Signs are deleted for ":bdel", but they could still be useful. Solution: Delete signs only for ":bwipe". Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.2.258 Problem: GUI: can't disable (grey-out) a popup menu item. (Ajit Thakkar) Solution: Loop over the popup menus for all modes. Files: src/menu.c Patch 6.2.259 Problem: If there are messages when exiting, on the console there is a hit-enter prompt while the message can be read; in the GUI the message may not be visible. Solution: Use the hit-enter prompt when there is an error message from writing the viminfo file or autocommands, or when there is any output in the GUI and 'verbose' is set. Don't use a hit-enter prompt for the non-GUI version unless there is an error message. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.2.260 Problem: GTK 2: Can't quit a dialog with<Esc>. GTK 1 and 2:<Enter>always gives a result, even when the default button has been disabled. Solution: Handle these keys explicitly. When no default button is specified use the first one (works mostly like it was before). Files: src/gui_gtk.c Patch 6.2.261 Problem: When 'autoindent' and 'cindent' are set and a line is recognized as a comment, starting a new line won't do 'cindent' formatting. Solution: Also use 'cindent' formatting for lines that are used as a comment. (Servatius Brandt) Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.262 Problem: 1CTRL-Ww beeps, even though going to the first window is possible. (Charles Campbell) Solution: Don't beep. Files: src/window.c Patch 6.2.263 Problem: Lint warnings: Duplicate function prototypes, duplicate macros, use of a zero character instead of a zero pointer, unused variable. Clearing allocated memory in a complicated way. Solution: Remove the function prototypes from farsi.h. Remove the duplicated lines in keymap.h. Change getvcol() argument from NUL to NULL. Remove the "col" variable in regmatch(). Use lalloc_clear() instead of lalloc(). (Walter Briscoe) Files: src/farsi.h, src/keymap.h, src/ops.c, src/regexp.c, src/search.c Patch 6.2.264 (after 6.2.247) Problem: Writing past allocated memory when using a command line from the viminfo file. Solution: Store the NUL in the right place. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.2.265 Problem: Although ":set" is not allowed in the sandbox, ":let &opt = val" works. Solution: Do allow changing options in the sandbox, but not the ones that can't be changed from a modeline. Files: src/ex_cmds.h, src/options.c Patch 6.2.266 Problem: When redirecting output and using ":silent", line breaks are missing from output of ":map" and ":tselect". Alignment of columns is wrong. Solution: Insert a line break where "msg_didout" was tested. Update msg_col when redirecting and using ":silent". Files: src/getchar.c, src/message.c Patch 6.2.267 (extra) Problem: Win32: "&&" in a tearoff menu is not shown. (Luc Hermitte) Solution: Use the "name" item from the menu instead of the "dname" item. Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/menu.c Patch 6.2.268 Problem: GUI: When changing 'guioptions' part of the window may be off screen. (Randall Morris) Solution: Adjust the size of the window when changing 'guioptions', but only when adding something. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.269 Problem: Diff mode does not highlight a change in a combining character. (Raphael Finkel) Solution: Make diff_find_change() multi-byte aware: find the start byte of a character that contains a change. Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.2.270 Problem: Completion in Insert mode, then repeating with ".", doesn't handle composing characters in the completed text. (Raphael Finkel) Solution: Don't skip over composing chars when adding completed text to the redo buffer. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.2.271 Problem: NetBeans: Can't do "tail -f" on the log. Passing socket info with an argument or environment variable is not secure. Solution: Wait after initializing the log. Allow passing the socket info through a file. (Gordon Prieur) Files: runtime/doc/netbeans.txt, src/main.c, src/netbeans.c Patch 6.2.272 Problem: When the "po" directory exists, but "po/Makefile" doesn't, building fails. Make loops when the "po" directory has been deleted after running configure. Solution: Check for the "po/Makefile" instead of just the "po" directory. Check this again before trying to run make with that Makefile. Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/Makefile Patch 6.2.273 Problem: Changing the sort order in an explorer window for an empty directory produces error messages. (Doug Kearns) Solution: When an invalid range is used for a function that is not going to be executed, skip over the arguments anyway. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.274 Problem: ":print" skips empty lines when 'list' is set and there is no "eol" in 'listchars'. (Yakov Lerner) Solution: Skip outputting a space for an empty line only when 'list' is set and the end-of-line character is not empty. Files: src/message.c Patch 6.2.275 (extra, after 6.2.267) Problem: Warning for uninitialized variable when using gcc. Solution: Initialize "acLen" to zero. (Bill McCarthy) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.2.276 Problem: ":echo X()" does not put a line break between the message that X() displays and the text that X() returns. (Yakov Lerner) Solution: Invoke msg_start() after evaluating the argument. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.277 Problem: Vim crashes when a ":runtime ftplugin/ada.vim" causes a recursive loop. (Robert Nowotniak) Solution: Restore "msg_list" before returning from do_cmdline(). Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.278 Problem: Using "much" instead of "many". Solution: Correct the error message. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.279 Problem: There is no default choice for a confirm() dialog, now that it is possible not to have a default choice. Solution: Make the first choice the default choice. Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt, src/eval.c Patch 6.2.280 Problem: "do" and ":diffget" don't work in the first line and the last line of a buffer. (Aron Griffis) Solution: Find a difference above the first line and below the last line. Also fix a few display updating bugs. Files: src/diff.c, src/fold.c, src/move.c Patch 6.2.281 Problem: PostScript printing doesn't work on Mac OS X 10.3.2. Solution: Adjust the header file. (Mike Williams) Files: runtime/print/prolog.ps Patch 6.2.282 Problem: When usingCTRL-Oto go back to a help file, it becomes listed. (Andrew Nesbit) Using ":tag" or ":tjump" in a help file doesn't keep the help file settings (e.g. for 'iskeyword'). Solution: Don't mark a buffer as listed when its help flag is set. Put all the option settings for a help buffer together in do_ecmd(). Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.283 Problem: The "local additions" in help.txt are used without conversion, causing latin1 characters showing up wrong when 'enc' is utf-8. (Antoine J. Mechelynck) Solution: Convert the text to 'encoding'. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.284 Problem: Listing a function puts "endfunction" in the message history. Typing "q" at the more prompt isn't handled correctly when listing variables and functions. (Hara Krishna Dara) Solution: Don't use msg() for "endfunction". Check "got_int" regularly. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.285 Problem: GUI: In a single wrapped line that fills the window, "gj" in the last screen line leaves the cursor behind. (Ivan Tarasov) Solution: Undraw the cursor before scrolling the text up.

Solution: With Python 2.3 and later use the available mechanisms to invoke Python recursively. (Matthew Mueller) Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.2.298 Problem: A change always sets the '. mark and an insert always sets the '^ mark, even when this is not wanted. Cannot go back to the position of older changes without undoing those changes. Solution: Add the ":keepjumps" command modifier. Add the "g," and "g;" commands. Files: runtime/doc/motion.txt, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/edit.c, src/mark.c, src/misc1.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/mark.pro, src/structs.h, src/undo.c Patch 6.2.299 Problem: Can only use one language for help files. Solution: Add the 'helplang' option to select the preferred language(s). Make ":helptags" generate tags files for all languages.

Solution: Add a semicolon. Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.2.301 Problem: The "select all" item from the popup menu doesn't work for Select mode. Solution: Use the same commands as for the "Edit.select all" menu. (Benji Fisher) Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.2.302 Problem: Using "CTRL-O." in Insert mode doesn't work properly. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Restore "restart_edit" after an insert command that was not typed. Avoid waiting with displaying the mode when there is no text to be overwritten. Fix that "CTRL-O." sometimes doesn't put the cursor back after the end-of-line. Only reset the flag thatCTRL-Owas used past the end of the line when restarting editing. Update "o_lnum" number when inserting text and "o_eol" is set. Files: src/edit.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.2.303 Problem: Cannot use Unicode digraphs while 'encoding' is not Unicode. Solution: Convert the character from Unicode to 'encoding' when needed. Use the Unicode digraphs for the Macintosh. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/digraph.c Patch 6.2.304 (extra, after 6.2.256) Problem: Mac: No proper support for 'encoding'. Conversion without iconv() is not possible.

Solution: Use "logname" when possible, "whoami" otherwise. (David Boyce) Files: src/Makefile Patch 6.2.309 Problem: "3grx" waits for two ESC to be typed. (Jens Paulus) Solution: Append the ESC to the stuff buffer when redoing the "gr" insert. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.310 Problem: When setting 'undolevels' to -1, making a change and setting 'undolevels' to a positive value an "undo list corrupt" error occurs. (Madoka Machitani) Solution: Sync undo before changing 'undolevels'. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.311 (after 6.2.298) Problem: When making several changes in one line the changelist grows quickly. There is no error message for reaching the end of the changelist. Reading changelist marks from viminfo doesn't work properly. Solution: Only make a new entry in the changelist when making a change in another line or 'textwidth' columns away. Add E662, E663 and E664 error messages. Put a changelist mark from viminfo one position before the end. Files: runtime/doc/motion.txt, src/mark.c, src/misc1.c, src/normal.c Patch 6.2.312 (after 6.2.299) Problem: "make install" clears the screen when installing the docs. Solution: Execute ":helptags" in silent mode. Files: runtime/doc/Makefile Patch 6.2.313 Problem: When opening folds in a diff window, other diff windows no longer show the same text. Solution: Sync the folds in diff windows. Files: src/diff.c, src/fold.c, src/move.c, src/proto/diff.pro, src/proto/move.pro Patch 6.2.314 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set "rx" may cause a crash with a blockwise selection and using "$". (Moritz Orbach) Solution: Don't try replacing chars in a line that has no characters in the block. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.315 Problem: UsingCTRL-Cin a Visual mode mapping while 'insertmode' is set stops Vim from returning to Insert mode. Solution: Don't reset "restart_edit" when aCTRL-Cis found and 'insertmode' is set.

(Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Files: src/GvimExt/Make_ming.mak Patch 6.2.320 Problem: Win32: Adding and removing the menubar resizes the Vim window. (Jonathon Merz) Solution: Don't let a resize event change 'lines' unexpectedly. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.321 Problem: When using modeless selection, wrapping lines are not recognized, a line break is always inserted. Solution: Add LineWraps[] to remember whether a line wrapped or not. Files: src/globals.h, src/screen.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.2.322 Problem: With 'showcmd' set, after typing "dd" the next "d" may not be displayed. (Jens Paulus) Solution: Redraw the command line after updating the screen, scrolling may have set "clear_cmdline". Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.323 Problem: Win32: expanding "~/file" in an autocommand pattern results in backslashes, while this pattern should only have forward slashes. Solution: Make expanding environment variables respect 'shellslash' and set p_ssl when expanding the autocommand pattern. Files: src/fileio.c, src/misc1.c, src/proto/fileio.pro Patch 6.2.324 (extra) Problem: Win32: when "vimrun.exe" has a path with white space, such as "Program Files", executing external commands may fail. Solution: Put double quotes around the path to "vimrun". Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.325 Problem: When $HOME includes a space, doing ":set tags=~/tags" doesn't work, the space is used to separate file names. (Brett Stahlman) Solution: Escape the space with a backslash. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.326 Problem: ":windo set syntax=foo" doesn't work. (Tim Chase) Solution: Don't change 'eventignore' for ":windo". Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.327 Problem: When formatting text all marks in the formatted lines are lost. A word is not joined to a previous line when this would be possible. (Mikolaj Machowski) Solution: Try to keep marks in the same position as much as possible. Also keep mark positions when joining lines. Start auto-formatting in the previous line when appropriate. Add the "gw" operator: Like "gq" but keep the cursor where it is. Files: runtime/doc/change.txt, src/edit.c, src/globals.h, src/mark.c, src/misc1.c, src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/proto/edit.pro, src/proto/mark.pro, src/proto/ops.pro, src/structs.h, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.328 Problem: XIM with GTK: It is hard to understand what XIM is doing. Solution: Add xim_log() to log XIM events and help with debugging. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.329 Problem: ":=" does not work Vi compatible. (Antony Scriven) Solution: Print the last line number instead of the current line. Don't print "line". Files: src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.330 (extra, after 6.2.267) Problem: Win32: Crash when tearing off a menu. Solution: Terminate a string with a NUL. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.2.331 (after 6.2.327) Problem: "gwap" leaves cursor in the wrong line. Solution: Remember the cursor position before finding the ends of the paragraph. Files: src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.332 (extra) Problem: Amiga: Compile error for string array. Compiling the Amiga GUI doesn't work. Solution: Use a char pointer instead. Move including "gui_amiga.h" to after including "vim.h". Add a semicolon. (Ali Akcaagac) Files: src/gui_amiga.c, src/os_amiga.c Patch 6.2.333 (extra) Problem: Win32: printing doesn't work with specified font charset. Solution: Use the specified font charset. (Mike Williams) Files: src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.2.334 (extra, after 6.2.296) Problem: Win32: evaluating client expression in debug mode requires typing "cont". Solution: Use eval_client_expr_to_string(). Files: src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.2.335 Problem: The ":sign" command cannot be followed by another command. Solution: Add TRLBAR to the command flags. Files: src/ex_cmds.h Patch 6.2.336 (after 6.2.327) Problem: Mixup of items in an expression. Solution: Move "== NUL" to the right spot. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.337 (extra, after 6.2.319) Problem: Building gvimext.dll with Mingw doesn't work properly. Solution: Fix white space and other details. (Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Files: src/GvimExt/Make_ming.mak Patch 6.2.338 (after 6.2.331) Problem: When undoing "gwap" the cursor is always put at the start of the paragraph. When undoing auto-formatting the cursor may be above the change. Solution: Try to move the cursor back to where it was or to the first line that actually changed. Files: src/normal.c, src/ops.c, src/undo.c Patch 6.2.339 Problem: Crash when using many different highlight groups and a User highlight group. (Juergen Kraemer) Solution: Do not use the sg_name_u pointer when it is NULL. Also simplify use of the highlight group table. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.340 Problem: ":reg" doesn't show the actual contents of the clipboard if it was filled outside of Vim. (Stuart MacDonald) Solution: Obtain the clipboard contents before displaying it. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.341 (extra) Problem: Win32: When the path to diff.exe contains a space and using the vimrc generated by the install program, diff mode does not work. Solution: Put the first double quote just before the space instead of before the path. Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.2.342 (extra) Problem: Win32: macros are not always used as expected. Solution: Define WINVER to 0x0400 instead of 0x400. (Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Files: src/Make_bc5.mak, src/Make_cyg.mak, src/Make_mvc.mak Patch 6.2.343 Problem: Title doesn't work with some window managers. X11: Setting the text property for the window title is hard coded. Solution: Use STRING format when possible. Use the UTF-8 function when it's available and 'encoding' is utf-8. Use XStringListToTextProperty(). Do the same for the icon name. (David Harrison) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.344 (extra, after 6.2.337) Problem: Cannot build gvimext.dll with MingW on Linux. Solution: Add support for cross compiling. (Ronald Hoellwarth) Files: src/GvimExt/Make_ming.mak Patch 6.2.345 (extra) Problem: Win32: Copy/paste between two Vims fails if 'encoding' is not set properly or there are illegal bytes. Solution: Use a raw byte format. Always set it when copying. When pasting use the raw format if 'encoding' is the same. Files: src/os_mswin.c, src/os_win16.c, src/os_win32.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.346 Problem: Win32 console: After using "chcp" Vim does not detect the different codepage. Solution: Use GetConsoleCP() and when it is different from GetACP() set 'termencoding'. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.347 (extra) Problem: Win32: XP theme support is missing. Solution: Add a manifest and refer to it from the resource file. (Michael Wookey) Files: Makefile, src/gvim.exe.mnf, src/vim.rc Patch 6.2.348 Problem: Win32: "vim c:\dir\(test)" doesn't work, because the 'isfname' default value doesn't contain parenthesis. Solution: Temporarily add '(' and ')' to 'isfname' when expanding file name arguments. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.2.349 Problem: Finding a match using 'matchpairs' may cause a crash. 'matchpairs' is not used for 'showmatch'. Solution: Don't look past the NUL in 'matchpairs'. Use 'matchpairs' for 'showmatch'. (Dave Olszewkski) Files: src/misc1.c, src/normal.c, src/proto/search.pro, src/search.c Patch 6.2.350 Problem: Not enough info about startup timing. Solution: Add a few more TIME_MSG() calls. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.2.351 Problem: Win32: $HOME may be set to %USERPROFILE%. Solution: Expand %VAR% at the start of $HOME. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.352 (after 6.2.335) Problem: ":sign texthl=||" does not work. Solution: Remove the check for a following command. Give an error for extra arguments after "buff=1". Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_cmds.h Patch 6.2.353 (extra) Problem: Win32: Supported server name length is limited. (Paul Bossi) Solution: Use MAX_PATH instead of 25. Files: src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.2.354 (extra) Problem: Win32: When the mouse pointer is on a tear-off menu it is hidden when typing but is not redisplayed when moved. (Markx Hackmann) Solution: Handle the pointer move event for the tear-off menu window. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.2.355 (after 6.2.303) Problem: When 'encoding' is a double-byte encoding different from the current locale, the width of characters is not correct. Possible failure and memory leak when using iconv, Unicode digraphs and 'encoding' is not "utf-8". Solution: Use iconv() to discover the actual width of characters. Add the "vc_fail" field to vimconv_T. When converting a digraph, init the conversion type to NONE and cleanup afterwards. Files: src/digraph.c, src/mbyte.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.356 Problem: When using a double-byte 'encoding' and 'selection' is "exclusive", "vy" only yanks the first byte of a double-byte character. (Xiangjiang Ma) Solution: Correct the column in unadjust_for_sel() to position on the first byte, always include the trailing byte of the selected text. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.357 (after 6.2.321) Problem: Memory leak when resizing the Vim window. Solution: Free the LineWraps array. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.358 (after 6.2.299) Problem: Memory leak when using ":help" and the language doesn't match. Solution: Free the array with matching tags.

Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.361 (extra) Problem: Win32: Run gvim, ":set go-=m", use Alt-Tab, keep Alt pressed while pressing Esc, then release Alt: Cursor disappears and typing a key causes a beep. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Don't ignore the WM_SYSKEYUP event when the menu is disabled. Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.2.362 (extra, after 6.2.347) Problem: Win32: The manifest causes Gvim not to work. (Dave Roberts) Solution: Change "x86" to "X86". (Serge Pirotte) Files: src/gvim.exe.mnf Patch 6.2.363 Problem: In an empty file with 'showmode' off, "i" doesn't change the ruler from "0-1" to "1". Typing "x<BS>" does show "1", but then<Esc>doesn't make it "0-1" again. Same problem for ruler in statusline. (Andrew Pimlott) Solution: Remember the "empty line" flag with Insert mode and'ed to it. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.364 Problem: HTML version of the documentation doesn't mention the encoding, which is a problem for mbyte.txt. Solution: Adjust the awk script. (Ilya Sher) Files: runtime/doc/makehtml.awk Patch 6.2.365 Problem: The configure checks for Perl and Python may add compile and link arguments that break building Vim. Solution: Do a sanity check: try building with the arguments. Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in Patch 6.2.366 Problem: When the GUI can't start because no valid font is found, there is no error message. (Ugen) Solution: Add an error message. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.367 Problem: Building the help tags file while installing may fail if there is another Vim in $PATH. Solution: Specify the just installed Vim executable. (Gordon Prieur) Files: src/Makefile Patch 6.2.368 Problem: When 'autochdir' is set, closing a window doesn't change to the directory of the new current window. (Salman Halim) Solution: Handle 'autochdir' always when a window becomes the current one. Files: src/window.c Patch 6.2.369 Problem: Various memory leaks: when using globpath(), when searching for help tags files, when defining a function inside a function, when giving an error message through an exception, for the final "." line in ":append", in expression "cond ? a : b" that fails and for missing ")" in an expression. Using NULL pointer when adding first user command and for pointer computations with regexp. (tests by Dominique Pelle) Solution: Fix the leaks by freeing the allocated memory. Don't use the array of user commands when there are no entries. Use a macro instead of a function call for saving and restoring regexp states. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/misc2.c, src/regexp.c, src/screen.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.370 (extra, after6.2.341) Problem: Win32: When the path to diff.exe contains a space and using the vimrc generated by the install program, diff mode may not work. (Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Solution: Do not use double quotes for arguments that do not have a space. Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.2.371 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set and there is a Tab before the next "x", "dtx" does not delete the whole Tab. (Ken Hashishi) Solution: Move the cursor to the last position of the Tab. Also for "df<Tab>". Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.372 Problem: When using balloon evaluation, no value is displayed for members of structures and items of an array. Solution: Include "->", "." and "[*]" in the expression. Files: src/gui_beval.c, src/normal.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.373 Problem: When 'winminheight' is zero and a window is reduced to zero height, the ruler always says "Top" instead of the cursor position. (Antoine J. Mechelynck) Solution: Don't recompute w_topline for a zero-height window. Files: src/window.c Patch 6.2.374 Problem: ":echo "hello" | silent normal n" removes the "hello" message. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Don't echo the search string when ":silent" was used. Also don't show the mode. In general: don't clear to the end of the screen. Files: src/gui.c, src/message.c, src/os_unix.c, src/proto/message.pro, src/screen.c, src/search.c, src/window.c Patch 6.2.375 Problem: When changing 'guioptions' the hit-enter prompt may be below the end of the Vim window. Solution: Call screen_alloc() before showing the prompt. Files: src/message.c Patch 6.2.376 Problem: Win32: Ruby interface cannot be dynamically linked with Ruby 1.6. Solution: Add #ifdefs around use of rb_w32_snprintf(). (Benoît Cerrina) Files: src/if_ruby.c Patch 6.2.377 (after 6.2.372) Problem: Compiler warnings for signed/unsigned compare. (Michael Wookey) Solution: Add type cast. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.378 (extra, after 6.2.118) Problem: Mac: cannot build with Project Builder.

(Dany St Amant) Files: src/misc1.c, src/os_macosx.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.379 Problem: Using ":mkvimrc" in the ":options" window sets 'bufhidden' to "delete". (Michael Naumann) Solution: Do not add buffer-specific option values to a global vimrc file. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.380 (extra) Problem: DOS: "make test" fails when running it again. Can't "make test" with Borland C. Solution: Make sure ".out" files are deleted when they get in the way. Add a "test" target to the Borland C Makefile. Files: src/Make_bc5.mak, src/testdir/Make_dos.mak Patch 6.2.381 Problem: Setting 'fileencoding' to a comma separated list (confusing it with 'fileencodings') does not result in an error message. Setting 'fileencoding' in an empty file marks it as modified. There is no "+" in the title after setting 'fileencoding'. Solution: Check for a comma in 'fileencoding'. Only consider a non-empty file modified by changing 'fileencoding'. Update the title after changing 'fileencoding'. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.382 Problem: Running "make test" puts marks from test files in viminfo. Solution: Specify a different viminfo file to use. Files: src/testdir/test15.in, src/testdir/test49.in Patch 6.2.383 Problem: ":hi foo term='bla" crashes Vim. (Antony Scriven) Solution: Check that the closing ' is there. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.384 Problem: ":menu a.&b" ":unmenu a.b" only works if "&b" isn't translated. Solution: Also compare the names without '&' characters. Files: src/menu.c Patch 6.2.385 (extra) Problem: Win32: forward_slash() and trash_input_buf() are undefined when compiling with small features. (Ajit Thakkar) Solution: Change the #ifdefs for forward_slash(). Don't call trash_input_buf() if the input buffer isn't used. Files: src/fileio.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.386 Problem: Wasting time trying to read marks from the viminfo file for a buffer without a name. Solution: Skip reading marks when the buffer has no name. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.387 Problem: There is no highlighting of translated items in help files. Solution: Search for a "help_ab.vim" syntax file when the help file is called "*.abx". Also improve the help highlighting a bit. Files: runtime/syntax/help.vim Patch 6.2.388 Problem: GTK: When displaying some double-width characters they are drawn as single-width, because of conversion to UTF-8. Solution: Check the width that GTK uses and add a space if it's one instead of two. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.389 Problem: When working over a slow connection, it's very annoying that the last line is partly drawn and then cleared for every change. Solution: Don't redraw the bottom line if no rows were inserted or deleted. Don't draw the line if we know "@" lines will be used. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.390 Problem: Using "r*" in Visual mode on multi-byte characters only replaces every other character. (Tyson Roberts) Solution: Correct the cursor position after replacing each character. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.391 (extra) Problem: The ":highlight" command is not tested. Solution: Add a test script for ":highlight". Files: src/testdir/Makefile, src/testdir/Make_amiga.mak, src/testdir/Make_dos.mak, src/testdir/Make_os2.mak, src/testdir/Make_vms.mms, src/testdir/test51.in, src/testdir/test51.ok Patch 6.2.392 (after 6.2.384) Problem: Unused variable. Solution: Remove "dlen". Files: src/menu.c Patch 6.2.393 Problem: When using very long lines the viminfo file can become very big. Solution: Add the "s" flag to 'viminfo': skip registers with more than the specified Kbyte of text. Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/ops.c, src/option.c Patch 6.2.394 (after 6.2.391) Problem: Test 51 fails on a terminal with 8 colors. (Tony Leneis) Solution: Use "DarkBlue" instead of "Blue" to avoid the "bold" attribute. Files: src/testdir/test51.in Patch 6.2.395 Problem: When using ":tag" or ":pop" the previous matching tag is used. But since the current file is different, the ordering of the tags may change. Solution: Remember what the current buffer was for when re-using cur_match. Files: src/edit.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/proto/tag.pro, src/structs.h, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.396 Problem: WhenCTRL-Tjumps to another file and an autocommand moves the cursor to the '" mark, don't end up on the right line. (Michal Malecki) Solution: Set the line number after loading the file. Files: src/tag.c Patch 6.2.397 Problem: When using a double-byte 'encoding' mapping<M-x>doesn't work. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Solution: Do not set the 8th bit of the character but use a modifier. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/gui_x11.c, src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.398 (extra) Problem: Win32 console: no extra key modifiers are supported. Solution: Encode the modifiers into the input stream. Also fix that special keys are converted and stop working when 'tenc' is set. Also fix that when 'tenc' is intialized the input and output conversion is not setup properly until 'enc' or 'tenc' is set. Files: src/getchar.c, src/option.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.399 Problem: A ":set" command that fails still writes a message when it is inside a try/catch block. Solution: Include all the text of the message in the error message. Files: src/charset.c, src/option.c Patch 6.2.400 Problem: Can't compile if_xcmdsrv.c on HP-UX 11.0. Solution: Include header file poll.h. (Malte Neumann) Files: src/if_xcmdsrv.c Patch 6.2.401 Problem: When opening a buffer that was previously opened, Vim does not restore the cursor position if the first line starts with white space. (Gregory Margo) Solution: Don't skip restoring the cursor position if it is past the blanks in the first line. Files: src/buffer.c Patch 6.2.402 Problem: Mac: "make install" doesn't generate help tags. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Generate help tags before copying the runtime files. Files: src/Makefile Patch 6.2.403 Problem: ":@y" checks stdin if there are more commands to execute. This fails if stdin is not connected, e.g., when starting the GUI from KDE. (Ned Konz) Solution: Only check for a next command if there still is typeahead. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.404 Problem: Our own function to determine width of Unicode characters may get outdated. (Markus Kuhn) Solution: Use wcwidth() when it is available. Also use iswprint(). Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/config.h.in, src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.405 Problem: Cannot map zero without breaking the count before a command. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Disable mapping zero when entering a count. Files: src/getchar.c, src/globals.h, src/normal.c Patch 6.2.406 Problem: ":help \zs", ":help \@=" and similar don't find useful help. Solution: Prepend "/\" to the arguments to find the desired help tag. Files: src/ex_cmds.c Patch 6.2.407 (after 6.2.299) Problem: ":help \@<=" doesn't find help. Solution: Avoid that ":help \@<=" searches for the "<=" language. Files: src/tag.c Patch 6.2.408 Problem: ":compiler" is not consistent: Sets local options and a global variable. (Douglas Potts) There is no error message when a compiler is not supported. Solution: Use ":compiler!" to set a compiler globally, otherwise it's local to the buffer and "b:current_compiler" is used. Give an error when no compiler script could be found.Note:updated compiler plugins can be found at ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/compiler/ Files: runtime/compiler/msvc.vim, runtime/doc/quickfix.txt, src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.409 Problem: The cursor ends up in the last column instead of after the line when doing "i//<Esc>o" with 'indentexpr' set to "cindent(v:lnum)". (Toby Allsopp) Solution: Adjust the cursor as if in Insert mode. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.410 (after 6.2.389) Problem: In diff mode, when there are more filler lines than fit in the window, they are not drawn. Solution: Check for filler lines when skipping to draw a line that doesn't fit. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.411 Problem: A "\n" inside a string is not seen as a line break by the regular expression matching. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Add the vim_regexec_nl() function for strings where "\n" is to be matched with a line break. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_eval.c, src/proto/regexp.c, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.412 Problem: Ruby: "ruby << EOF" inside a function doesn't always work. Also for ":python", ":tcl" and ":perl". Solution: Check for "<< marker" and skip until "marker" before checking for "endfunction". Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.413 (after 6.2.411) Problem: Missing prototype for vim_regexec_nl(). (Marcel Svitalsky) Solution: Now really include the prototype. Files: src/proto/regexp.pro Patch 6.2.414 Problem: The function used for custom completion of user commands cannot have<SID>to make it local. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Pass the SID of the script where the user command was defined on to the completion. Also clean up #ifdefs. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/eval.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/structs.h Patch 6.2.415 Problem: Vim may crash after a sequence of events that change the window size. The window layout assumes a larger window than is actually available. (Servatius Brandt) Solution: Invoke win_new_shellsize() from screenalloc() instead of from set_shellsize(). Files: src/screen.c, src/term.c Patch 6.2.416 Problem: Compiler warning for incompatible pointer. Solution: Remove the "&" in the call to poll(). (Xavier de Gaye) Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.417 (after 6.2.393) Problem: Many people forget that the '"' item in 'viminfo' needs to be preceded with a backslash, Solution: Add '<' as an alias for the '"' item. Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/ops.c, src/option.c Patch 6.2.418 Problem: Using ":nnoremap<F12>:echo "cheese" and ":cabbr cheese xxx": when pressing<F12>still uses the abbreviation. (Hari Krishna) Solution: Also apply "noremap" to abbreviations. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.2.419 (extra) Problem: Win32: Cannot open the Vim window inside another application. Solution: Add the "-P" argument to specify the window title of the application to run inside. (Zibo Zhao) Files: runtime/doc/starting.txt, src/main.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c, src/if_ole.cpp, src/os_mswin.c, src/proto/gui_w32.pro Patch 6.2.420 Problem: Cannot specify a file to be edited in binary mode without setting the global value of the 'binary' option. Solution: Support ":edit ++bin file". Files: runtime/doc/editing.txt, src/buffer.c, src/eval.c, src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/fileio.c, src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.421 Problem: Cannot set the '[ and '] mark, which may be necessary when an autocommand simulates reading a file. Solution: Allow using "m[" and "m]". Files: runtime/doc/motion.txt, src/mark.c Patch 6.2.422 Problem: InCTRL-Xcompletion messages the "/" makes them less readable. Solution: Remove the slashes. (Antony Scriven) Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.423 Problem: ":vertical wincmd ]" does not split vertically. Solution: Add "postponed_split_flags". Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/globals.h, src/if_cscope.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.424 Problem: A BufEnter autocommand that sets an option stops 'mousefocus' from working in Insert mode (Normal mode is OK). (Gregory Seidman) Solution: In the Insert mode loop invoke gui_mouse_correct() when needed. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.425 Problem: Vertical split and command line window: can only drag status line above the cmdline window on the righthand side, not lefthand side. Solution: Check the status line row instead of the window pointer. Files: src/ui.c Patch 6.2.426 Problem: A syntax region end match with a matchgroup that includes a line break only highlights the last line with matchgroup. (Gary Holloway) Solution: Also use the line number of the position where the region highlighting ends. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.427 (extra) Problem: When pasting a lot of text in a multi-byte encoding, conversion from 'termencoding' to 'encoding' may fail for some characters. (Kuang-che Wu) Solution: When there is an incomplete byte sequence at the end of the read text keep it for the next time. Files: src/mbyte.c, src/os_amiga.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/proto/mbyte.pro, src/proto/os_mswin.pro, src/ui.c Patch 6.2.428 Problem: The X11 clipboard supports the Vim selection for char/line/block mode, but since the encoding is not included can't copy/paste between two Vims with a different 'encoding'. Solution: Add a new selection format that includes the 'encoding'. Perform conversion when necessary. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/ui.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.429 Problem: Unix: glob() doesn't work for a directory with a single quote in the name. (Nazri Ramliy) Solution: When using the shell to expand, only put double quotes around spaces and single quotes, not the whole thing. Files: src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.430 Problem: BOM at start of a vim script file is not recognized and causes an error message. Solution: Detect the BOM and skip over it. Also fix that after using ":scriptencoding" the iconv() file descriptor was not closed (memory leak). Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.431 Problem: When using the horizontal scrollbar, the scrolling is limited to the length of the cursor line. Solution: Make the scroll limit depend on the longest visible line. The cursor is moved when necessary. Including the 'h' flag in 'guioptions' disables this. Files: runtime/doc/gui.txt, runtime/doc/options.txt, src/gui.c, src/misc2.c, src/option.h Patch 6.2.432 (after 6.2.430 and 6.2.431) Problem: Lint warnings. Solution: Add type casts. Files: src/ex_cmds2.c, src/gui.c Patch 6.2.433 Problem: Translating "VISUAL" and "BLOCK" separately doesn't give a good result. (Alejandro Lopez Valencia) Solution: Use a string for each combination. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.434 (after 6.2.431) Problem: Compiler warning. (Salman Halim) Solution: Add type casts. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.435 Problem: When there are vertically split windows the minimal Vim window height is computed wrong. Solution: Use frame_minheight() to correctly compute the minimal height. Files: src/window.c Patch 6.2.436 Problem: Running the tests changes the user's viminfo file. Solution: In test 49 tell the extra Vim to use the test viminfo file. Files: src/testdir/test49.vim Patch 6.2.437 Problem: ":mksession" always puts "set nocompatible" in the session file. This changes option settings. (Ron Aaron) Solution: Add an "if" to only change 'compatible' when needed. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.438 Problem: When the 'v' flag is present in 'cpoptions', backspacing and then typing text again: one character too much is overtyped before inserting is done again. Solution: Set "dollar_vcol" to the right column. Files: src/edit.c Patch 6.2.439 Problem: GTK 2: Changing 'lines' may cause a mismatch between the window layout and the size of the window. Solution: Disable the hack with force_shell_resize_idle(). Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.440 Problem: When 'lazyredraw' is set the window title is still updated. The size of the Visual area and the ruler are displayed too often. Solution: Postpone redrawing the window title. Only show the Visual area size when waiting for a character. Don't draw the ruler unnecessary. Files: src/buffer.c, src/normal.c, src/screen.c Patch 6.2.441 Problem: ":unabbreviate foo " doesn't work, because of the trailing space, while an abbreviation with a trailing space is not possible. (Paul Jolly) Solution: Accept a match with the lhs of an abbreviation without the trailing space. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.2.442 Problem: Cannot manipulate the command line from a function. Solution: Add getcmdline(), getcmdpos() and setcmdpos() functions and the CTRL-\ e command. Files: runtime/doc/cmdline.txt, runtime/doc/eval.txt, src/eval.c src/ex_getln.c, src/ops.c, src/proto/ex_getln.pro, src/proto/ops.pro Patch 6.2.443 Problem: With ":silent! echoerr something" you don't get the position of the error. emsg() only writes the message itself and returns. Solution: Also redirect the position of the error. Files: src/message.c Patch 6.2.444 Problem: When adding the 'c' flag to a ":substitute" command it may replace more times than without the 'c' flag. Happens for a match that starts with "\ze" (Marcel Svitalsk) and when using "\@<=" (Klaus Bosau). Solution: Correct "prev_matchcol" when replacing the line. Don't replace the line when the pattern uses look-behind matching. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/proto/regexp.pro, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.445 Problem: Copying vimtutor to /tmp/something is not secure, a symlink may cause trouble. Solution: Create a directory and create the file in it. Use "umask" to create the directory with mode 700. (Stefan Nordhausen) Files: src/vimtutor Patch 6.2.446 (after 6.2.404) Problem: Using library functions wcwidth() and iswprint() results in display problems for Hebrew characters. (Ron Aaron) Solution: Disable the code to use the library functions, use our own. Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.447 (after 6.2.440) Problem: Now that the title is only updated when redrawing, it is no longer possible to show it while executing a function. (Madoka Machitani) Solution: Make ":redraw" also update the title. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.448 (after 6.2.427) Problem: Mac: conversion done when 'termencoding' differs from 'encoding' fails when pasting a longer text. Solution: Check for an incomplete sequence at the end of the chunk to be converted. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.449 (after 6.2.431) Problem: Get error messages when switching files. Solution: Check for a valid line number when calculating the width of the horizontal scrollbar. (Helmut Stiegler) Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.450 Problem: " #include" and " #define" are not recognized with the default option values for 'include' and 'defined'. (RG Kiran) Solution: Adjust the default values to allow white space before the #. Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/option.c Patch 6.2.451 Problem: GTK: when using XIM there are various problems, including setting 'modified' and breaking undo at the wrong moment. Solution: Add "xim_changed_while_preediting", "preedit_end_col" and im_is_preediting(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/globals.h, src/gui_gtk.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/mbyte.c, src/misc1.c, src/proto/mbyte.pro, src/screen.c, src/undo.c Patch 6.2.452 Problem: In diff mode, when DiffAdd and DiffText highlight settings are equal, an added line is highlighted with DiffChange. (Tom Schumm) Solution: Remember the diff highlight type instead of the attributes. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.453 Problem: ":s/foo\|\nbar/x/g" does not replace two times in "foo\nbar". (Pavel Papushev) Solution: When the pattern can match a line break also try matching at the NUL at the end of a line. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.454 Problem: ":let b:changedtick" doesn't work. (Alan Schmitt) ":let b:changedtick = 99" does not give an error message. Solution: Add code to recognize ":let b:changedtick". Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.455 (after 6.2.297) Problem: In Python commands the current locale changes how certain Python functions work. (Eugene M. Minkovskii) Solution: Set the LC_NUMERIC locale to "C" while executing a Python command. Files: src/if_python.c Patch 6.2.456 (extra) Problem: Win32: Editing a file by its Unicode name (dropping it on Vim or using the file selection dialog) doesn't work. (Yakov Lerner, Alex Jakushev) Solution: Use wide character functions when file names are involved and convert from/to 'encoding' where needed. Files: src/gui_w48.c, src/macros.h, src/memfile.c, src/memline.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.457 (after 6.2.244) Problem: When 'encoding' is "utf-8" and writing text with chars above 0x80 in latin1, conversion is wrong every 8200 bytes. (Oyvind Holm) Solution: Correct the utf_ptr2len_check_len() function and fix the problem of displaying 0xf7 in utfc_ptr2len_check_len(). Files: src/mbyte.c Patch 6.2.458 Problem: When 'virtualedit' is set "$" doesn't move to the end of an unprintable character, causing "y$" not to include that character. (Fred Ma) Solution: Set "coladd" to move the cursor to the end of the character. Files: src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.459 (after 6.2.454) Problem: Variable "b" cannot be written. (Salman Halim) Solution: Compare strings properly. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.460 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: Compiler warnings for missing prototypes. Solution: Include the missing prototypes. Files: src/proto/os_win32.pro Patch 6.2.461 Problem: After using a search command "x" starts putting single characters in the numbered registers. Solution: Reset "use_reg_one" at the right moment. Files: src/normal.c Patch 6.2.462 Problem: Finding a matching parenthesis does not correctly handle a backslash in a trailing byte. Solution: Handle multi-byte characters correctly. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/search.c Patch 6.2.463 (extra) Problem: Win32: An NTFS file system may contain files with extra info streams. The current method to copy them creates one and then deletes it again. (Peter Toennies) Also, only three streams with hard coded names are copied. Solution: Use BackupRead() to check which info streams the original file contains and only copy these streams. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.464 (extra, after 6.2.427) Problem: Amiga: Compilation error with gcc. (Ali Akcaagac) Solution: Move the #ifdef outside of Read(). Files: src/os_amiga.c Patch 6.2.465 Problem: When resizing the GUI window the window manager sometimes moves it left of or above the screen. (Michael McCarty) Solution: Check the window position after resizing it and move it onto the screen when it isn't. Files: src/gui.c Patch 6.2.466 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: Win32: Compiling with Borland C fails, and an un/signed warning. Solution: Redefine wcsicmp() to wcscmpi() and add type casts. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.467 (extra, after 6.2.463) Problem: Win32: can't compile without multi-byte feature. (Ajit Thakkar) Solution: Add #ifdefs around the info stream code. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.468 Problem: Compiler warnings for shadowed variables. (Matthias Mohr) Solution: Delete superfluous variables and rename others. Files: src/eval.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_eval.c, src/if_cscope.c, src/fold.c, src/option.c, src/os_unix.c, src/quickfix.c, src/regexp.c Patch 6.2.469 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: Win32: Can't create swap file when 'encoding' differs from the active code page. (Kriton Kyrimis) Solution: In enc_to_ucs2() terminate the converted string with a NUL Files: src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.2.470 Problem: The name returned by tempname() may be equal to the file used for shell output when ignoring case. Solution: Skip 'O' and 'I' in tempname(). Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.471 Problem: "-L/usr/lib" is used in the link command, even though it's supposed to be filtered out. "-lw" and "-ldl" are not automatically added when needed for "-lXmu". (Antonio Colombo) Solution: Check for a space after the argument instead of before. Also remove "-R/usr/lib" if it's there. Check for "-lw" and "-ldl" before trying "-lXmu". Files: src/auto/configure, src/configure.in, src/link.sh Patch 6.2.472 Problem: When using a FileChangedShell autocommand that changes the current buffer, a buffer exists that can't be wiped out. Also, Vim sometimes crashes when executing an external command that changes the buffer and a FileChangedShell autocommand is used. (Hari Krishna Dara) Users are confused by the warning for a file being changed outside of Vim. Solution: Avoid that the window counter for a buffer is incremented twice. Avoid that buf_check_timestamp() is used recursively. Add a hint to look in the help for more info. Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.473 Problem: Using CTRL-] in a help buffer without a name causes a crash. Solution: Check for name to be present before using it. (Taro Muraoka) Files: src/tag.c Patch 6.2.474 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: When Vim is starting up conversion is done unnecessarily. Failure to find the runtime files on Windows 98. (Randall W. Morris) Solution: Init enc_codepage negative, only use it when not negative. Don't use GetFileAttributesW() on Windows 98 or earlier. Files: src/globals.h, src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 6.2.475 Problem: Commands after "perl <<EOF" are parsed as Vim commands when they are not executed. Solution: Properly skip over the perl commands. Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/if_perl.xs, src/if_python.c, src/if_ruby.c, src/if_tcl.c, src/misc2.c Patch 6.2.476 Problem: When reloading a hidden buffer changed outside of Vim and the current buffer is read-only, the reloaded buffer becomes read-only. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Save the 'readonly' flag of the realoaded buffer instead of the current buffer. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.477 Problem: Using remote_send(v:servername, "\<C-V>") causes Vim to hang. (Yakov Lerner) Solution: When the resulting string is empty don't set received_from_client. Files: src/main.c Patch 6.2.478 Problem: Win32: "--remote file" fails changing directory if the current directory name starts with a single quote. (Iestyn Walters) Solution: Add a backslash where it will be removed later. Files: src/main.c, src/misc2.c, src/proto/misc2.pro Patch 6.2.479 Problem: The error message for errors during recovery goes unnoticed. Solution: Avoid that the hit-enter prompt overwrites the message. Add a few lines to make the error stand out. Files: src/main.c, src/message.c, src/memline.c Patch 6.2.480 Problem: NetBeans: Using negative index in array. backslash at end of message may cause Vim to crash. (Xavier de Gaye) Solution: Initialize buf_list_used to zero. Check for trailing backslash. Files: src/netbeans.c Patch 6.2.481 Problem: When writing a file it is not possible to specify that hard and/or symlinks are to be broken instead of preserved. Solution: Add the "breaksymlink" and "breakhardlink" values to 'backupcopy'. (Simon Ekstrand) Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/fileio.c, src/option.c, src/option.h Patch 6.2.482 Problem: Repeating insert ofCTRL-K1 S doesn't work. The superscript 1 is considered to be a digit. (Juergen Kraemer) Solution: In vim_isdigit() only accept '0' to '9'. Use VIM_ISDIGIT() for speed where possible. Also add vim_isxdigit().

Solution: Extra part of patch 6.2.482. Files: src/gui_photon.c, src/gui_w48.c, src/os_msdos.c, src/os_mswin.c Patch 6.2.484 Problem: MS-Windows: With the included diff.exe, differences after aCTRL-Zare not recognized. (Peter Keresztes) Solution: Write the files with unix fileformat and invoke diff with --binary if possible. Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.2.485 Problem: A BufWriteCmd autocommand cannot know if "!" was used or not. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Add the v:cmdbang variable. Files: runtime/doc/eval.txt, src/eval.c, src/proto/eval.pro, src/fileio.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.486 (6.2.482) Problem: Diff for eval.c is missing. Solution: Addition to patch 6.2.482. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.2.487 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: Compiler warnings for wrong prototype. (Alejandro Lopez Valencia) Solution: Delete the prototype for Handle_WM_Notify(). Files: src/proto/gui_w32.pro Patch 6.2.488 Problem: Missing ")" in *.ch filetype detection. Solution: Add the ")".

Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.493 Problem: "@x" doesn't work when 'insertmode' is set. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Put "restart_edit" in the typeahead buffer, so that it's used after executing the register contents. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.494 Problem: Using diff mode with two windows, when moving horizontally in inserted lines, a fold in the other window may open. Solution: Compute the line number in the other window correctly. Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.2.495 (extra, after 6.2.456) Problem: Win32: The file dialog doesn't work on Windows 95. Solution: Put the wide code of gui_mch_browse() in gui_mch_browseW() and use it only on Windows NT/2000/XP. Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.2.496 Problem: FreeBSD 4.x: When compiled with the pthread library (Python) a complicated pattern may cause Vim to crash. Catching the signal doesn't work. Solution: When compiled with threads, instead of using the normal stacksize limit, use the size of the initial stack. Files: src/auto/configure, src/config.h.in, src/configure.in, src/os_unix.c Patch 6.2.497 (extra) Problem: Russian messages are only available in one encoding. Solution: Convert the messages to MS-Windows codepages. (Vassily Ragosin) Files: src/po/Makefile Patch 6.2.498 Problem: Non-latin1 help files are not properly supported. Solution: Support utf-8 help files and convert them to 'encoding' when needed. Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.499 Problem: When writing a file and halting the system, the file might be lost when using a journalling file system. Solution: Use fsync() to flush the file data to disk after writing a file.

(Alejandro Lopez- Valencia) Files: src/dosinst.c Patch 6.2.501 Problem: Vim does not compile with MorphOS. Solution: Add a Makefile and a few changes to make Vim work with MorphOS. (Ali Akcaagac) Files: runtime/doc/os_amiga.txt, src/INSTALLami.txt, src/Make_morphos.mak, src/memfile.c, src/term.c Patch 6.2.502 Problem: Building fails for generating message files. Solution: Add dummy message files. Files: src/po/ca.po, src/po/ru.po, src/po/sv.po Patch 6.2.503 Problem: Mac: Can't compile MacRoman conversions without the GUI. Solution: Also link with the Carbon framework for the terminal version, for the MacRoman conversion functions. (Eckehard Berns) Remove -ltermcap from the GUI link command, it is not needed. Files: src/auto/configure, src/Makefile, src/configure.in Patch 6.2.504 Problem: Various problems with 'cindent', among which that a list of variable declarations is not indented properly. Solution: Fix the wrong indenting. Improve indenting of C++ methods. Add the 'i', 'b' and 'W' options to 'cinoptions'. (mostly by Helmut Stiegler) Improve indenting of preprocessor-continuation lines. Files: runtime/doc/indent.txt, src/misc1.c, src/testdir/test3.in, src/testdir/test3.ok Patch 6.2.505 Problem: Help for -P argument is missing. (Ronald Hoellwarth) Solution: Add the patch that was missing in 6.2.419. Files: runtime/doc/starting.txt Patch 6.2.506 (extra) Problem: Win32: When 'encoding' is a codepage then reading a utf-8 file only works when iconv is available. Writing a file in another codepage uses the wrong kind of conversion. Solution: Use internal conversion functions. Enable reading and writing files with 'fileencoding' different from 'encoding' for all valid codepages and utf-8 without the need for iconv. Files: src/fileio.c, src/testdir/Make_dos.mak, src/testdir/test52.in, src/testdir/test52.ok Patch 6.2.507 Problem: The ownership of the file with the password for the NetBeans connection is not checked. "-nb={file}" doesn't work for GTK. Solution: Only accept the file when owned by the user and not accessible by others. Detect "-nb=" for GTK. Files: src/netbeans.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.508 Problem: Win32: "v:lang" does not show the current language for messages if it differs from the other locale settings.

(Ron Aaron) Files: src/ex_cmds2.c Patch 6.2.510 (after 6.2.507) Problem: Warning for pointer conversion. Solution: Add a type cast. Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c Patch 6.2.511 Problem: Tags in Russian help files are in utf-8 encoding, which may be different from 'encoding'. Solution: Use the "TAG_FILE_ENCODING" field in the tags file to specify the encoding of the tags. Convert help tags from 'encoding' to the tag file encoding when searching for matches, do the reverse when listing help tags. Files: runtime/doc/tagsrch.txt, src/ex_cmds.c, src/tag.c Patch 6.2.512 Problem: Translating "\"\n" is useless. (Gerfried Fuchs) Solution: Remove the _() around it. Files: src/main.c, src/memline.c Patch 6.2.513 (after 6.2.507) Problem: NetBeans: the check for owning the connection info file can be simplified. (Nikolay Molchanov) Solution: Only check if the access mode is right. Files: src/netbeans.c Patch 6.2.514 Problem: When a highlight/syntax group name contains invalid characters there is no warning. Solution: Add an error for unprintable characters and a warning for other invalid characters. Files: src/syntax.c Patch 6.2.515 Problem: When using the options window 'swapfile' is reset. Solution: Use ":setlocal" instead of ":set". Files: runtime/optwin.vim Patch 6.2.516 Problem: The sign column cannot be seen, looks like there are two spaces before the text. (Rob Retter) Solution: Add the SignColumn highlight group. Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, runtime/doc/sign.txt, src/option.c, src/screen.c, src/syntax.c, src/vim.h Patch 6.2.517 Problem: Using "r*" in Visual mode on multi-byte characters replaces too many characters. In Visual Block mode replacing with a multi-byte character doesn't work. Solution: Adjust the operator end for the difference in byte length of the original and the replaced character. Insert all bytes of a multi-byte character, take care of double-wide characters. Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.2.518 Problem: Last line of a window is not updated after using "J" and then "D". (Adri Verhoef) Solution: When no line is found below a change that doesn't need updating, update all lines below the change. Files: src/screen.c Patch 6.2.519 Problem: Mac: cannot read/write files in MacRoman format. Solution: Do internal conversion from/to MacRoman to/from utf-8 and latin1. (Eckehard Berns) Files: src/fileio.c Patch 6.2.520 (extra) Problem: The NSIS installer is outdated. Solution: Make it work with NSIS 2.0. Also include console executables for Win 95/98/ME and Win NT/2000/XP. Use LZWA compression. Use "/oname" to avoid having to rename files before running NSIS. Files: Makefile, nsis/gvim.nsi Patch 6.2.521 Problem: When using silent Ex mode the "changing a readonly file" warning is omitted but the one second wait isn't. (Yakov Lerner) Solution: Skip the delay when "silent_mode" is set. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.2.522 Problem: GUI: when changing 'cmdheight' in the gvimrc file the window layout is messed up. (Keith Dart) Solution: Skip updating the window layout when changing 'cmdheight' while still starting up. Files: src/option.c Patch 6.2.523 Problem: When loading a session and aborting when a swap file already exists, the user is left with useless windows. (Robert Webb) Solution: Load one file before creating the windows. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.2.524 (extra, after 6.2.520) Problem: Win32: (un)installing gvimext.dll may fail if it was used. The desktop and start menu links are created for the current user instead of all users. Using the home directory as working directory for the links is a bad idea for multi-user systems. Cannot use Vim from the "Open With..." menu. Solution: Force a reboot if necessary. (Alejandro Lopez-Valencia) Also use macros for the directory of the source and runtime files. Use "CSIDL_COMMON_*" instead of "CSIDL_*" when possible. Do not specify a working directory in the links. Add Vim to the "Open With..." menu. (Giuseppe Bilotta) Files: nsis/gvim.nsi, src/dosinst.c, src/dosinst.h, src/uninstal.c Patch 6.2.525 Problem: When the history contains a very long line ":history" causes a crash. (Volker Kiefel) Solution: Shorten the history entry to fit it in one line. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.2.526 Problem: When s:lang is "ja" the Japanese menus are not used. Solution: Add 'encoding' to the language when there is no charset. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.2.527 Problem: The 2html script uses ":wincmd p", which breaks when using some autocommands. Solution: Remember the window numbers and jump to them with ":wincmd w". Also add XHTML support. (Panagiotis Issaris) Files: runtime/syntax/2html.vim Patch 6.2.528 Problem: NetBeans: Changes of the "~" command are not reported. Solution: Call netbeans_inserted() after performing "~". (Gordon Prieur) Also change NetBeans debugging to append to the log file. Also fix that "~" in Visual block mode changes too much if there are multi-byte characters. Files: src/nbdebug.c, src/normal.c, src/ops.c Patch 6.2.529 (extra) Problem: VisVim only works for Admin. Doing it for one user doesn't work. (Alexandre Gouraud) Solution: When registering the module fails, simply continue. Files: src/VisVim/VisVim.cpp Patch 6.2.530 Problem: Warning for missing prototype on the Amiga. Solution: Include time.h Files: src/version.c Patch 6.2.531 Problem: In silent ex mode no messages are given, which makes debugging very difficult. Solution: Do output messages when 'verbose' is set. Files: src/message.c, src/ui.c Patch 6.2.532 (extra) Problem: Compiling for Win32s with VC 4.1 doesn't work. Solution: Don't use CP_UTF8 if it's not defined. Don't use CSIDL_COMMON* when not defined. Files: src/dosinst.h, src/fileio.c Win32 console: After patch 6.2.398 Ex mode did not work. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Patch 6.3a.001 Problem: Win32: if testing for the "--binary" option fails, diff isn't used at all. Solution: Handle the "ok" flag properly. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto) Files: src/diff.c Patch 6.3a.002 Problem: NetBeans: An insert command from NetBeans beyond the end of a buffer crashes Vim.

(Henry Van Roessel) Solution: Pass the line number to same_leader(). Files: src/ops.c Patch 6.3a.004 Problem: Test32 fails on Windows XP for the DJGPP version. Renaming test11.out fails. Solution: Don't try renaming, create new files to use for the test. Files: src/testdir/test32.in, src/testdir/test32.ok Patch 6.3a.005 Problem: ":checkpath!" does not use 'includeexpr'. Solution: Use a file name that was found directly. When a file was not found and the located name is empty, use the rest of the line. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.3a.006 Problem: "yip" moves the cursor to the first yanked line, but not to the first column. Looks like not all text was yanked. (Jens Paulus) Solution: Move the cursor to the first column. Files: src/search.c Patch 6.3a.007 Problem: 'cindent' recognizes "enum" but not "typedef enum". Solution: Skip over "typedef" before checking for "enum". (Helmut Stiegler) Also avoid that searching for this item goes too far back. Files: src/misc1.c, src/testdir/test3.in, src/testdir/test3.ok Patch 6.3a.008 (extra) Problem: Windows 98: Some of the wide functions are not implemented, resulting in file I/O to fail. This depends on what Unicode support is installed. Solution: Handle the failure and fall back to non-wide functions. Files: src/os_win32.c Patch 6.3a.009 Problem: Win32: Completion of filenames does not work properly when 'encoding' differs from the active code page. Solution: Use wide functions for expanding wildcards when appropriate. Files: src/misc1.c Patch 6.3a.010 (extra) Problem: Win32: Characters in the window title that do not appear in the active codepage are replaced by a question mark. Solution: Use DefWindowProcW() instead of DefWindowProc() when possible. Files: src/glbl_ime.cpp, src/globals.h, src/proto/gui_w16.pro, src/proto/gui_w32.pro, src/gui_w16.c, src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.3a.011 Problem: Using the explorer plugin changes a local directory to the global directory. Solution: Don't use ":chdir" to restore the current directory. Make "expand('%:p')" remove "/../" and "/./" items from the path. Files: runtime/plugin/explorer.vim, src/eval.c, src/os_unix.c Patch 6.3a.012 (extra) Problem: On Windows 98 the installer doesn't work, don't even get the "I agree" button. The check for the path ending in "vim" makes the browse dialog hard to use. The default path when no previous Vim is installed is "c:\vim" instead of "c:\Program Files\Vim". Solution: Remove the background gradient command. Change the .onVerifyInstDir function to a leave function for the directory page. Don't let the install program default to c:\vim when no path could be found. Files: nsis/gvim.nsi, src/dosinst.c Patch 6.3a.013 (extra) Problem: Win32: Characters in the menu that are not in the active codepage are garbled.

The Buffers/Delete menu doesn't offer a choice to abandon a changed buffer. (Jens Paulus) Solution: Don't use CTRL-\CTRL-N. Add ":confirm" for the Buffers menu items. Files: runtime/menu.vim Patch 6.3a.016 Problem: After cancelling the ":confirm" dialog the error message and hit-enter prompt may not be displayed properly. Solution: Flush output after showing the dialog. Files: src/message.c Patch 6.3a.017 Problem: servername() doesn't work when Vim was started with the "-X" argument or when the "exclude" in 'clipboard' matches the terminal name. (Robert Nowotniak) Solution: Force connecting to the X server when using client-server commands. Files: src/eval.c, src/globals.h, src/os_unix.c Patch 6.3a.018 (after 6.3a.017) Problem: Compiler warning for return value of make_connection(). Solution: Use void return type. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.3a.019 (extra) Problem: Win32: typing non-latin1 characters doesn't work. Solution: Invoke _OnChar() directly to avoid that the argument is truncated to a byte. Convert the UTF-16 character to bytes according to 'encoding' and ignore 'termencoding'. Same for _OnSysChar(). Files: src/gui_w32.c, src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.3a.020 (extra) Problem: Missing support for AROS (AmigaOS reimplementation). Amiga GUI doesn't work. Solution: Add AROS support.

Solution: Put use of "gui.in_use" inside an #ifdef. Files: src/eval.c Patch 6.3a.022 Problem: When typing Tabs when 'softtabstop' is used and 'list' is set a tab is counted for two spaces. Solution: Use the "L" flag in 'cpoptions' to tell whether a tab is counted as two spaces or as 'tabstop'. (Antony Scriven) Files: runtime/doc/options.txt, src/edit.c Patch 6.3a.023 Problem: Completion on the command line doesn't handle backslashes properly. Only the tail of matches is shown, even when not completing filenames. Solution: When turning the string into a pattern double backslashes. Don't omit the path when not expanding files or directories. Files: src/ex_getln.c Patch 6.3a.024 Problem: The "save all" toolbar item fails for buffers that don't have a name. When using ":wa" or closing the Vim window and there are nameless buffers, browsing for a name may cause the name being given to the wrong buffer or not stored properly. ":browse" only worked for one file. Solution: Use ":confirm browse" for "save all". Pass buffer argument to setfname(). Restore "browse" flag and "forceit" after doing the work for one file. Files: runtime/menu.vim, src/buffer.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/ex_cmds2.c, src/ex_docmd.c, src/ex_getln.c, src/fileio.c, src/memline.c, src/message.c, src/window.c, src/proto/buffer.pro, src/proto/ex_cmds2.pro, src/proto/memline.pro Patch 6.3a.025 Problem: Setting 'virtualedit' moves the cursor.

Solution: For all wide functions check if it failed because it is not implemented. Use ANSI function declaration for char_to_string(). Files: src/gui_w48.c, src/os_mswin.c, src/os_win32.c Patch 6.3a.027 (extra, after 6.3a.026) Problem: Compiler warning for function argument. Solution: Declare both char and WCHAR arrays. Files: src/gui_w48.c Patch 6.3a.028 Problem: ":normal ." doesn't work inside a function, because redo is saved and restored. (Benji Fisher) Solution: Make a copy of the redo buffer when executing a function. Files: src/getchar.c Patch 6.3b.001 (extra) Problem: Bcc 5: The generated auto/pathdef can't be compiled. Solution: Fix the way quotes and backslashes are escaped. Files: src/Make_bc5.mak Patch 6.3b.002 Problem: Win32: conversion during file write fails when a double-byte character is split over two writes.

(Robert Webb) Solution: Restore window sizes both before and after restoring the view, so that the view, cursor position and size are restored properly. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.3b.008 Problem: Using ":finally" in a user command doesn't always work. (Hari Krishna Dara) Solution: Don't assume that using getexline() means the command was typed. Files: src/ex_docmd.c Patch 6.3b.009 (extra) Problem: Win32: When the -P argument is not found in a window title, there is no error message. Solution: When the window can't be found give an error message and exit. Also use try/except to catch failing to open the MDI window. (Michael Wookey) Files: src/gui_w32.c Patch 6.3b.010 Problem: Win32: Using the "-D" argument and expanding arguments may cause a hang, because the terminal isn't initialized yet.
