|vim.glob.to_lpeg()| uses a new LPeg-based implementation (Peglob) that
provides ~50% speedup for complex patterns. The implementation restores
support for nested braces and follows LSP 3.17 specification with
additional constraints for improved correctness and resistance to
backtracking edge cases.
Problem:
- Lesson 7.3 (Cmdline Completion) teaches an important way to discover
Nvim features. I think users should learn it before they start
configuring Nvim
- Nvim can be configured in Lua as well, but lesson 7.2 (Configuring
Nvim) only mentions init.vim. And I think Nvim is promoting Lua more
Solution:
- Move lesson 7.2 to be after lesson 7.3
- Lesson 7.2 should teach about init.lua

Problem:
No way for a user to limit 'exrc' search in parent directories (compare
editorconfig.root).
Solution:
A configuration file can unset 'exrc', disabling the search for its
parent directories.
Problem: When items are combined with user-defined highlight attributes
(e.g., strikethrough), trunc inherits these attributes, making
the text difficult to read.
Solution: trunc now uses the original Pmenu and PmenuSel highlight
attributes (glepnir)

Problem: search_stat not reset when pattern differs in case
(tahzibijafar)
Solution: use STRNCMP instead of MB_STRNICMP macro
There was a long standing todo comment, that using MB_STRNICMP is wrong.
So let's change it to STRNCMP() instead. Even if it not handle
multi-byte characters correctly, then Vim will rather recompute the
search stat, instead of re-using the old (and possibly wrong) value.

feat(exrc): search exrc in parent directories
Problem:
`.nvim.lua` is only loaded from current directory, which is not flexible
when working from a subfolder of the project.
Solution:
Also search parent directories for configuration file.
Problem: When 'signcolumn' is set to `number` but a line has a sign
without text, the line number disappears (finite-state-machine)
Solution: Verify that a sign actually contains text before rendering the
line number (glepnir)

Problem: If the only highlight present in the buffer is an extmark, and its end
position is outside the screen, redraws that start on lines after the
first line of the mark will consider the buffer as not having any highlights,
and skip drawing the mark's highlight.
Solution: Check the updated number of decor ranges.
Problem: Extui does not route messages emitted as a result of a typed
command to the "more" window.
Command message leading shell messages is missing a kind.
Messages not routed to 'cmdheight' area after it was 0.
Solution: Route messages that were emitted in the same event loop as an
entered command to the "more" window. Also append multiple
messages in an already open more-window.
Assign it the `shell_cmd` kind.
Change message position when 'cmdheight' changes from 0.
Problem: Messages that are already added to the history are not emitted
as part of the "g<" msg_history_show event.
Solution: Move clearing the history for temporary messages to before
adding a message to the history, rather than after emitting
a message.
Problem: conceal_lines cache is invalidated in `on_buf`
which is too late for code calculating text height after a
buffer change but before a redraw (like `lsp/util.lua`).
Solution: Replace `on_buf` with `on_bytes` handler that invalidates
the cache and clears the marks.
Problem:
decorations_spec.lua, float_spec.lua, multigrid_spec.lua are not
auto-formatted.
Solution:
Add a special `formatlua2` cmake target, which invokes `stylua` with
an alternative `.stylua2.toml` config.
Problem: Missing kind and separate event for each line for message
containing buffer lines for e.g. `:print`.
Solution: Set the `list_cmd` kind and only `msg_start()` for the first
message, print a newline instead.
Problem:
Stopping a language server and then calling vim.lsp.start() with the same name/root will return the old language server that's in the middle of shutting down. vim.lsp.start() won't return a new server until the old process has terminated.
Solution:
Introducing a client._is_stopping field that tracks the shutdown phase, preventing the client from being reused.
Problem:
assert_log() only matches single lines. This was never an intentional
decision, it was merely a result of using read_file_list().
Note: any tests that indiscriminately match `.*` should be rewritten to
avoid (unlikely) "false positives". I checked all existing tests.
Solution:
Change assert_log() to match the concatenated lines instead of matching
per-line.
Problem: [security]: Possible to open more windows into a closing
buffer without splitting, bypassing existing "b_locked_split"
checks and triggering use-after-free
Solution: Disallow switching to a closing buffer. Editing a closing
buffer (via ":edit", etc.) was fixed in v9.1.0764, but add an
error message and check just "b_locked_split", as "b_locked"
is necessary only when the buffer shouldn't be wiped, and may
be set for buffers that are in-use but not actually closing.

Problem: Ruler is not cleared from the screen/ext_messages state when
it is no longer drawn after e.g. `set noruler` or when moving
from a floating to a regular window.
Solution: Remember if ruler was drawn and clear it.
Problem: `:copen` opens at the bottom by switching to `lastwin`,
needlessly changing the window it inherits context from.
Solution: Use the `WSP_BOT` flag to `win_split()` to open at the bottom.
Problem: Using `<C-W>w`, `<C-W>W` or the ":wincmd" variants with a count can
enter unfocusable or hidden floating windows. This is especially problematic
when using the new in-development extui, which creates many unfocusable floats
for various UI elements.
Solution: Skip unfocusable and hidden floating windows. Instead, skip to the
next focusable, non-hidden window in the current tabpage's window list. Reword
the documentation a bit (hopefully an improvement?)
Problem:
No way to check if a LSP config is enabled without causing it to
resolve. E.g. `vim.lsp.config['…'] ~= nil` will resolve the config,
which could be an unwanted and somewhat expensive side-effect.
Solution:
Introduce `vim.lsp.is_enabled()`.
**Problem:** For multiline diagnostics, the end column was improperly
calculated by checking the byte index of the character position on the
*start* line.
**Solution:** Calculate the byte index for end_col using the *end* line.
Problem: The TUI doesn't forward a key properly when it has unsupported
modifiers like NumLock.
Solution: Don't try to add modifiers when only unsupported modifiers are
present.

Problem:
stderr messages from executing ":!cmd" show up with
highlight hl-ErrorMsg. But some shell utilites use stderr for debug
logging, progress updates, etc.
Solution:
Highlight shell command outputs hl-StderrMsg and hl-StdoutMsg.
This fixes the problem that sending a raw C0 control code to trigger a
mapping for it does not work in Terminal mode.
Note: this isn't done for 00 or 7F, as that'll be backward-incompatible.
NEW BUILD SYSTEM!
This is a MVP implementation which supports building the "nvim" binary,
including cross-compilation for some targets.
As an example, you can build a aarch64-macos binary from
an x86-64-linux-gnu host, or vice versa
Add CI target for build.zig currently for functionaltests on linux
x86_64 only
Follow up items:
- praxis for version and dependency bumping
- windows 💀
- full integration of libintl and gettext (or a desicion not to)
- update help and API metadata files
- installation into a $PREFIX
- more tests and linters
Problem:
virtual_text diagnostics are great when skimming a file, and
virtual_lines are great when "zooming in" on a particular problem.
Having both enabled results in duplicate diagnostics on-screen.
Solution:
This PR expands the behavior of `current_line` for virtual_text and
virtual_lines by making `virtual_text.current_line = false` distinct
from `nil`. If you set:
vim.diagnostic.config({
virtual_text = { current_line = false },
virtual_lines = { current_line = true },
})
With this configuration, virtual_text will be used to display
diagnostics until the cursor reaches the same line, at which point they
will be hidden and virtual_lines will take its place.
Problem: Wrong winline info after partial redraw. Setting
`conceal_cursor_used` is unnecessarily spread out.
Solution: Rather than adjusting `wl_lastlnum` for the previous
winline, adjust it when setting the current winline.
Set `conceal_cursor_used` when the current window is redrawn.
Problem:
enable() could be more flexible, so that it works even if called "late".
Solution:
- enable(true) calls `doautoall nvim.lsp.enable FileType`.
- enable(false) calls `client:stop()` on matching clients.
This will be useful for e.g. :LspStop/:LspStart also.
