Problem: ext_messages cannot tell when the screen was cleared, which is
needed to clear visible messages. An empty message is also
never emitted, but clears messages from the message grid.
Solution: Repurpose the "msg_clear" event to be emitted when the screen
was cleared. Emit an empty message with the `empty` kind to
hint to a UI to clear the cmdline area.
Problem:
In setup_env, some needed logic is bypassed when clear_env=true.
Solution:
Drop the early return in setup_env().

Problem: ext_messages is implemented to mimic the message grid
implementation w.r.t. scrolling messages, clearing scrolled
messages, hit-enter-prompts and replacing a previous message.
Meanwhile, an ext_messages UI may not be implemented in a way
where these events are wanted. Moreover, correctness of these
events even assuming a "scrolled message" implementation
depends on fragile "currently visible messages" global state,
which already isn't correct after a previous message was
supposed to have been overwritten (because that should not only
happen when `msg_scroll == false`).
Solution: - No longer attempt to keep track of the currently visible
messages: remove the `msg_ext(_history)_visible` variables.
UIs may remove messages pre-emptively (timer based), or never
show messages that don't fit a certain area in the first place.
- No longer emit the `msg(_history)_clear` events to clear
"scrolled" messages. This opens up the `msg_clear` event to
be emitted when messages should actually be cleared (e.g.
when the screen is cleared). May also be useful to emit before
the first message in an event loop cycle as a hint to the UI
that it is a new batch of messages (vim._extui currently
schedules an event to determine that).
- Set `replace_last` explicitly at the few callsites that want
this to be set to true to replace an incomplete status message.
- Don't store a "keep" message to be re-emitted.
Problem: ml_get error when updating quickfix buffer with nvim_buf_attach
Solution: use correct lnume parameter in changed_lines for append mode
Fix#34610
Problem: Buffer events (specifically on_bytes callbacks) weren't triggered when the
quickfix list was modified, preventing buffer change notifications.
Solution: Add code to send both bytes and lines change notifications after
quickfix buffer updates to properly trigger all attached callbacks.
Problem: The "append" parameter added in abb40ece is missing from
history entries, resulting in different message formatting
for "g<".
Solution: Add "append" field to message history entries.

Problem:
vim.uv.spawn will emit ENOENT for either when the cmd or cwd do not
exist and does not tell you which.
Solution:
If an error occurs, check if cwd was supplied and included in the error
message if it does not exist.
Problem: Can't use getpos('v') in OptionSet when using setbufvar().
Solution: Don't reset Visual selection when switching to the same
buffer (zeertzjq).
closes: vim/vim#173735717ee33db
Problem: Consecutive "msg_show" events stemming from an `:echon`
command are supposed to be appended without a newline, this
information is not encoded in the "msg_show" event.
Solution: Add an "append" parameter to the "msg_show" event that is set
to true to indicate the message should not start on a new line.
Considered alternative: Emit a newline for the common case instead at the
start of a new message. That way UIs can more closely follow the logic
as it is implemented for the message grid currently. This would be a
breaking change. The "append" parameter seems OK.
|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:
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.
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:
Directories that are "trusted" by `vim.secure.read()`, are not detectable later
(they will prompt again). https://github.com/neovim/neovim/discussions/33587#discussioncomment-12925887
Solution:
`vim.secure.read()` returns `true` if the user trusts a directory.
Also fix other bugs:
- If `f:read('*a')` returns `nil`, we treat that as a successful read of
the file, and hash it. `f:read` returns `nil` for directories, but
it's also documented as returning `nil` "if it cannot read data with the
specified format". I reworked the implementation so we explicitly
treat directories differently. Rather than hashing `nil` to put in the
trust database, we now put "directory" in there explicitly*.
- `vim.secure.trust` (used by `:trust`) didn't actually work for
directories, as it would blindly read the contents of a netrw buffer
and hash it. Now it uses the same codepath as `vim.secure.read`, and
as a result, works correctly for directories.
Problem: UIs implementing ext_cmdline/message must also implement
ext_popupmenu in order to get cmdline completion with
wildoptions+=pum.
Solution: Allow marking a window as the ext_cmdline window through
nvim_open_win(), including prompt offset. Anchor the cmdline-
completion popupmenu to this window.
Problem: Change applied in d3e495ce uses a byte-offset where a virtual
column is expected.
Solution: Set the cursor directly through a <Cmd> mapping, while making
sure the commands are ordered correctly by adding them to the
type-ahead buffer.
Problem:
Default 'statusline' is implemented in C and not representable as
a statusline expression. This makes it hard for user configs/plugins to
extend it.
Solution:
- Change the default 'statusline' slightly to a statusline expression.
- Remove the C implementation.
Problem: We allow setting 'cmdheight' to 0 with ext_messages enabled
since b72931e7. Enabling ext_messages with vim.ui_attach()
implicitly sets 'cmdheight' to 0 for BWC. When non-zero
'cmdheight' is wanted, this behavior make it unnecessarily
hard to keep track of the user configured value.
Solution: Add set_cmdheight to vim.ui_attach() opts table that can be
set to false to avoid setting 'cmdheight' to 0.
Problem:
When a command is not found or not executable, the error message gives
no indication about what command was actually tried.
Solution:
Always append the command name to the error message.
BEFORE:
E5108: Error executing lua …/_system.lua:248: ENOENT: no such file or directory

fix#33445
Problem:
`vim.version.range('>=0.10'):has('0.12.0-dev')` returns false, which is
wrong per semver.
Solution:
`vim.VersionRange:has()` shouldn't have special handling for prereleases
(Why would we need it when `__eq`, `__lt`, `__le` already handle
prereleases?).
Closes#33316
Problem: Currently vim.hl.range only allows one timed highlight.
Creating another one, removes the old one.
Solution: vim.hl.range now returns a timer and a function. The timer
keeps track of how much time is left in the highlight and the function
allows you to clear it, letting the user decide what to do with old
highlights.
Problem:
- `:lua vim.env.<Tab>` does not show completion of environment variables
- Meanwhile, `:let $<Tab>` does show completion of environment variables
Solution:
- Fix it
Problem:
`:lua vim.lsp.c<tab>` does not list vim.lsp.completion in the completion
list after 24cea4c7f7.
Solution:
- Always include `vim.lsp._submodule` keys in candidates.
- Fixes `vim.lsp.c<tab>` -> `vim.lsp.completion`.
- Eager-load `vim.lsp.completion` to get its completion.
- Fixes `vim.lsp.completion.g<tab>` -> `vim.lsp.completion.get`.
Problem: Error messages that cause a vim.ui_attach() namespace to
detach are not visible in the message history. Decoration
provider and vim.ui_attach error messages are dissimilar.
Solution: Emit vim.ui_attach() errors as an actual message in addition
to logging it. Adjust error message format.
Problem: Message kind logic for emitting an error message is convoluted
and still results in emitting an unfinished message earlier than
wanted.
Solution: Ensure emsg_multiline() always sets the kind wanted by the caller
and doesn't isn't unset to logic for emitting the source message.
Caller is responsible for making sure multiple message chunks are
not emitted as multiple events by setting `msg_ext_skip_flush`...
## Problem
The pattern used to match indentation is wrong as can be seen in
```lua
-- current pattern doesn't match starting space
print(vim.inspect((" xyz"):match("(^%s+)%S")))
-- nil
-- instead, it matches characters `^ ` in text
print(vim.inspect(("x^ yz"):match("(^%s+)%S")))
-- "^ "
-- indentation could've been matched by, however not required
print(vim.inspect((" xyz"):match("^(%s+)%S")))
-- " "
```
## Solution
We don't even need to modify `base_indent` at every line. If every line's indentation is calculated by the previous line's indentation (which already has starting indentation) added to the starting indentation, we see that indentation is multiplied on every line.
Hence, we only add the starting line indentation to every line.
