Problem:
- The VIM_VERSION_NODOT macro maintained support for legacy Vim
version-specific runtime directories (e.g., "vim82") which I believe
have never been relevant for Neovim
Solution:
- Remove it
- Rename `vim_version_dir()` to `vim_runtime_dir()`
Problem: [security]: path traversal issue in tar.vim
(@ax)
Solution: warn the user for such things, drop leading /, don't
forcefully overwrite files when writing temporary files,
refactor autoload/tar.vim
tar.vim: drop leading / in path names
A tar archive containing files with leading `/` may cause confusions as
to where the content is extracted. Let's make sure we drop the leading
`/` and use a relative path instead.
Also while at it, had to refactor it quite a bit and increase the
minimum supported Vim version to v9. Also add a test for some basic tar
functionality

Problem: not possible to anchor specific lines in diff mode
Solution: Add support for the anchoring lines in diff mode using the
'diffanchor' option (Yee Cheng Chin).
Adds support for anchoring specific lines to each other while viewing a
diff. While lines are anchored, they are guaranteed to be aligned to
each other in a diff view, allowing the user to control and inform the
diff algorithm what the desired alignment is. Internally, this is done
by splitting up the buffer at each anchor and run the diff algorithm on
each split section separately, and then merge the results back for a
logically consistent diff result.
To do this, add a new "diffanchors" option that takes a list of
`{address}`, and a new "diffopt" option value "anchor". Each address
specified will be an anchor, and the user can choose to use any type of
address, including marks, line numbers, or pattern search. Anchors are
sorted by line number in each file, and it's possible to have multiple
anchors on the same line (this is useful when doing multi-buffer diff).
Update documentation to provide examples.
This is similar to Git diff's `--anchored` flag. Other diff tools like
Meld/Araxis Merge also have similar features (called "synchronization
points" or "synchronization links"). We are not using Git/Xdiff's
`--anchored` implementation here because it has a very limited API
(it requires usage of the Patience algorithm, and can only anchor
unique lines that are the same across both files).
Because the user could anchor anywhere, diff anchors could result in
adjacent diff blocks (one block is directly touching another without a
gap), if there is a change right above the anchor point. We don't want
to merge these diff blocks because we want to line up the change at the
anchor. Adjacent diff blocks were first allowed when linematch was
added, but the existing code had a lot of branched paths where
line-matched diff blocks were handled differently. As a part of this
change, refactor them to have a more unified code path that is
generalized enough to handle adjacent diff blocks correctly and without
needing to carve in exceptions all over the place.

Problem: [security]: path traversal issue in zip.vim (@ax)
Solution: drop leading ../ on write of zipfiles, don't forcefully
overwrite existing files
A zip plugin which contains filenames with leading '../' may cause
confusion as to where the content will be extracted. Let's drop such
things and make sure we use a relative filename instead and don't
forcefully overwrite temporary files. Also, warn the user of such
things.

Problem:
Nvim depends on netrw to download/request URL contents.
Solution:
- Add `vim.net.request()` as a thin curl wrapper:
- Basic GET with --silent, --show-error, --fail, --location, --retry
- Optional `opts.outpath` to save to a file
- Operates asynchronously. Pass an `on_response` handler to get the result.
- Add integ tests (requires NVIM_TEST_INTEG to be set) to test success
and 404 failure.
- Health check for missing `curl`.
- Handle `:edit https://…` using `vim.net.request()`.
API Usage:
1. Asynchronous request:
vim.net.request('https://httpbingo.org/get', { retry = 2 }, function(err, response)
if err then
print('Fetch failed:', err)
else
print('Got body of length:', #response.body)
end
end)
2. Download to file:
vim.net.request('https://httpbingo.org/get', { outpath = 'out_async.txt' }, function(err)
if err then print('Error:', err) end
end)
3. Remote :edit integration (in runtime/plugin/net.lua) fetches into buffer:
:edit https://httpbingo.org/get
Problem:
We temporarily disabled linux arm ci because of stability issues with
the runner. #32339 Since then, the hardware was changed, so we can try

Solution:
- re-enable arm linux ci. reverts 8e4b77134a

diagnostic's `relatedInformation`, using `gf` from within the
`open_float` window. The cursor need only be on line that displays the
related info.
Problem: winborder option only supported predefined styles and lacked support for custom border characters.
Solution: implement parsing for comma-separated list format that allows specifying 8 individual border characters (topleft, top, topright, right, botright, bottom, botleft, left).
Many terminals now include support for OSC 52 in their Primary Device
Attributes (DA1) response. This is preferable to using XTGETTCAP because
DA1 is _much_ more broadly supported.
Problem: Hardcoded highlight IDs for ext_messages/cmdline output need
to be adjusted everytime a builtin highlight group is added.
Solution: Store a global map of default highlights through nvim_get_hl()
and fetch missing (custom) highlight groups through synIDattr().
Use more compact formatting for screen:expect().
Problem: completion: search completion match may differ in case
(techntools)
Solution: add "exacttext" to 'wildoptions' value (Girish Palya)
This flag does the following:
exacttext
When this flag is present, search pattern completion
(e.g., in |/|, |?|, |:s|, |:g|, |:v|, and |:vim|)
shows exact buffer text as menu items, without
preserving regex artifacts like position
anchors (e.g., |/\<|). This provides more intuitive
menu items that match the actual buffer text. However,
searches may be less accurate since the pattern is not
preserved exactly.
By default, Vim preserves the typed pattern (with
anchors) and appends the matched word. This preserves
search correctness, especially when using regular
expressions or with 'smartcase' enabled. However, the
case of the appended matched word may not exactly
match the case of the word in the buffer.

Problem: termdebug: not enough ways to configure breakpoints
Solution: add the termdebug_config['signs'] config setting, rework the
termdebug test cases (Dimitry Ishenko)
Allow to configure custom breakpoint signs so one can do something like
this:
```vim
let g:termdebug_config['signs'] = ['>1', '>2', '>3', '>4', '>5', '>6', '>7', '>8', '>9']
let g:termdebug_config['sign'] = '>>'
```
where the first 9 breakpoints will have their own signs and the rest
will be the same (>>).
While at it, rework the test for the termdebug plugin:
- Added test for g:termdebug_config['signs'].
- Added test for g:termdebug_config['sign'].
- Moved test for g:termdebug_config['sign_decimal'] into
Test_termdebug_basic()

Problem:
- Running `:h :EditQuery` throws error `E149: Sorry, no help for
:EditQuery`
- vim_diff.txt miss an entry for `:EditQuery`
Solution:
- Make tag `[:EditQuery]()` right-aligned, similar to command `:Open`
- Update vim_diff.txt
Problem: Unable to tell whether msg_history_show event is emitted for a
:messages or g< command.
Solution: Add "prev_cmd" argument that is set to true for g<.
Problems:
- Miss some entries in `vim_diff.txt` and `index.txt`.
- I want to learn about Vim register, but when I type `:h register`, it
shows sponsor information instead. Note that unlike Nvim, Vim has a
separate session for `*register*`
Solution:
- Add missing commands to `index.txt`, `vim_diff.txt`
- Remove tag `register` from `index.txt`
Problem:
Closes#31453
Solution:
Introduce `vim.lsp.Capability`, which may serve as the base class for
all LSP features that require caching data. it
- was created if there is at least one client that supports the specific method;
- was destroyed if all clients that support the method were detached.
- Apply the refactor for `folding_range.lua` and `semantic_tokens.lua`.
- Show active features in :checkhealth.
Future:
I found that these features that are expected to be refactored by
`vim.lsp.Capability` have one characteristic in common: they all send
LSP requests once the document is modified. The following code is
different, but they are all for this purpose.
- semantic tokens:
fb8dba413f/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/semantic_tokens.lua (L192-L198)
- inlay hints, folding ranges, document color
fb8dba413f/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/inlay_hint.lua (L250-L266)
I think I can sum up this characteristic as the need to keep certain
data synchronized with the latest version computed by the server.
I believe we can handle this at the `vim.lsp.Capability` level, and
I think it will be very useful.
Therefore, my next step is to implement LSP request sending and data
synchronization on `vim.lsp.Capability`, rather than limiting it to the
current create/destroy data approach.

Problem: completion: can only complete from keyword characters
Solution: remove this restriction, allow completion functions when
called from i_CTRL-N/i_CTRL-P to be triggered from non-keyword
characters (Girish Palya)
Previously, functions specified in the `'complete'` option were
restricted to starting completion only from keyword characters (as
introduced in PR 17065). This change removes that restriction.
With this change, user-defined functions (e.g., `omnifunc`, `userfunc`)
used in `'complete'` can now initiate completion even when triggered
from non-keyword characters. This makes it easier to reuse existing
functions alongside other sources without having to consider whether the
cursor is on a keyword or non-keyword character, or worry about where
the replacement should begin (i.e., the `findstart=1` return value).
The logic for both the “collection” and “filtering” phases now fully
respects each source’s specified start column. This also extends to
fuzzy matching, making completions more predictable.
Internally, this builds on previously merged infrastructure that tracks
per-source metadata. This PR focuses on applying that metadata to
compute the leader string and insertion text appropriately for each
match.
Also, a memory corruption has been fixed in prepare_cpt_compl_funcs().
