This is primarily intended to act as documentation for the developer so
they know exactly when and what to remove. This will help prevent the
situation of deprecated code lingering for far too long as developers
don't have to worry if a function is safe to remove.
PROBLEM
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS has conflicting purposes as both a parameter ("the
current process should listen on this address") and a descriptor ("the
current process is a child of this address").
This contradiction means the presence of NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS is
ambiguous, so child Nvim always tries to listen on its _parent's_
socket. This is the cause of lots of "Failed to start server" spam in
our test/CI logs:
WARN 2022-04-30… server_start:154: Failed to start server: address already in use: \\.\pipe\nvim-4480-0
WARN 2022-04-30… server_start:154: Failed to start server: address already in use: \\.\pipe\nvim-2168-0
SOLUTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Set $NVIM to the parent v:servername, *only* in child processes.
- Now the correct way to detect a "parent" Nvim is to check for $NVIM.
2. Do NOT set $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS in child processes.
3. On startup if $NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS exists, unset it immediately after
server init.
4. Open a channel to parent automatically, expose it as v:parent.

Ref #8696
`:syntax enable` is no longer necessary (and may even be harmful). Do not recommend it in `usr_05.txt` and `usr_06.txt`, and mention the new default in `syntax.txt`.
Deprecates the existing `vim.lsp.buf.formatting` function.
With this, `vim.lsp.buf.format` will replace all three:
- vim.lsp.buf.formatting
- vim.lsp.buf.formatting_sync
- vim.lsp.buf.formatting_seq_sync
* feat(lsp)!: remove capabilities sanitization
Users must now access client.server_capabilities which matches the same
structure as the protocol.
https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification
client.resolved_capabilities is no longer used to gate capabilities, and
will be removed in a future release.
BREAKING CHANGE
Co-authored-by: Mathias Fussenegger <f.mathias@zignar.net>
Implement two new options to vim.lsp.buf.code_action():
- filter (function): predicate taking an Action as input, and returning
a boolean.
- apply (boolean): when set to true, and there is just one remaining
action (after filtering), the action is applied without user query.
These options can, for example, be used to filter out, and automatically
apply, the action indicated by the server to be preferred:
vim.lsp.buf.code_action({
filter = function(action)
return action.isPreferred
end,
apply = true,
})
Fix#17514.
Problem: Using \{xxx} for encoding a modifier is not nice.
Solution: Use \<*xxx> instead, since it's the same as \<xxx> but producing a
different code.

Use this notation in langmap_spec.
Problem: GUI tests fail because the test doesn't use a modifier.
Solution: Add "\{xxx}" to be able to encode a modifier.

Change macros to enums to use them in unit tests.
This marks the following Vim patches as ported:
vim-patch:8.1.2333: with modifyOtherKeys CTRL-^ doesn't work
Problem: With modifyOtherKeys CTRL-^ doesn't work.
Solution: Handle the exception.
828ffd5963
vim-patch:8.1.2350: other text for CTRL-V in Insert mode with modifyOtherKeys
Problem: Other text for CTRL-V in Insert mode with modifyOtherKeys.
Solution: Convert the Escape sequence back to key as if modifyOtherKeys is
not set, and use CTRL-SHIFT-V to get the Escape sequence itself.
(closesvim/vim#5254)

vim-patch:8.2.2084: CTRL-V U doesn't work to enter a Unicode character
Problem: CTRL-V U doesn't work to enter a Unicode character when
modifyOtherKeys is effective. (Ken Takata)
Solution: Add a flag to get_literal() for the shift key. (closesvim/vim#7413)

Omit getcmdkeycmd() change as it depends on Vim patch 8.2.2062, which
may introduce a potential breakage.
Problem:
winpty is only needed for Windows 8.1. Removing it reduces our build and code
complexity.
Solution:
- Remove winpty.
- Require Windows 10.

Problem: Using matchfuzzy() on a long list can take a while.
Solution: Add a limit to the number of matches. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto,

The default value of including F in 'shortmess' has the unfortunate side
effect of hiding output from autocommands. This is a common source of
confusion and often leads people to think their autocommands are not
working when they are. There is a small snippet in the docs for
'shortmess' indicating that the F flag suppresses autocmd output, but
it's not easy to find if you don't already know to look for it.
This commit removes that behavior of the F flag to make it only suppress
file info when opening a new file.
Some people ran into issues trying to use `callback = myluafun` because
of the event data payload.

Problem: Cannot add a digraph with a leading space. It is not easy to list
existing digraphs.
Solution: Add setdigraph(), setdigraphlist(), getdigraph() and
getdigraphlist(). (closesvim/vim#8580)
6106504e9e
Use GA_APPEND_VIA_PTR in registerdigraph().
Use tv_list_append_*() in getdigraphlist_appendpair().
Put the error messages in digraph.c.
E196 is N/A.
Remove mentions about 'encoding' being non-Unicode.
Nvim doesn't support setting encoding=japan, so skip a test.
Problem: Plugins cannot track text scrolling.
Solution: Add the WinScrolled event. (closesvim/vim#10102)
0937182d49
Skip User event in autocmd.txt, not needed unless #10689 is reverted.
