It did not work very well, at least on Debian 12, and I am not sure Git
Bash and WSL, for example, were taken care of as maintenance stalled.
The whole logic was somewhat convoluted with some parts repeatedly invoking
failed commands.
The file handling was outdated, for example, nowadays Netscape is rarely
used, and also opinionated, for example mainly Microsoft Paint and Gimp for
Image files.
Instead, let's use (xdg-)open and similar commands on other systems
which respects the user's preferences.

`-NonInteractive` at least somewhat hints to pwsh/powershell, that shell
sessions created from :! are not interactive, though even that is not
foolproof, because powershell is weird.
`$PSStyle.OutputRendering='plaintext'` causes pwsh/powershell
to omit ANSI escape sequences in its output.
Problem: 'findexpr' completion doesn't set v:fname to cmdline argument.
Solution: Set v:fname to the cmdline argument as-is (zeertzjq).

feat(diagnostics)!: sort underline with severity_sort
BREAKING CHANGE: underline will be applied with a higher value than `vim.hl.priorities.diagnostics`
The workspace folder name is meant to be a human-readable name which is
only used in the UI. Comparing the name against root_dir is thus not
a valid comparison. Instead, we should compare the workspace folder's
URI against the root dir URI.
Problem: novice users relying on vimtutor won't know what to do when they follow the instructions and delete a couple lines and that breaks the line checker
Solution: tell the user to fix the line numbers after they're done
* deprecate old signatures
* move to new str_byteindex/str_utfindex signature
* use single-underscore name (double-underscore is reserved for Lua itself)
Problem: We use `void *` for option default values, which is confusing and can cause problems with type-correctness. It also doesn't accomodate for multitype options. On top of that, it also leads to default boolean option values not behaving correctly on big endian systems.
Solution: Use `OptVal` for option default values.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `:set {option}<` removes the local value for all global-local options instead of just string global-local options.
- `:setlocal {option}<` copies the global value to the local value for number and boolean global-local options instead of removing the local value.
Problem:
`lsp.buf_request` send the same params to all servers and many
calls to this pass PositionalParams which depends on the clients
offset_encoding. This can result with incorrect params being sent
to a server.
Solution:
`lsp.buf_request` `params` argument can now be passed as a function
which takes the client as the first argument. This is used in
lsp/buf.lua to construct correct params for each client request.
PROBLEM:
There are several limitations to vim.str_byteindex, vim.str_utfindex:
1. They throw given out-of-range indexes. An invalid (often user/lsp-provided)
index doesn't feel exceptional and should be handled by the caller.
`:help dev-error-patterns` suggests that `retval, errmsg` is the preferred
way to handle this kind of failure.
2. They cannot accept an encoding. So LSP needs wrapper functions. #25272
3. The current signatures are not extensible.
* Calling: The function currently uses a fairly opaque boolean value to
indicate to identify the encoding.
* Returns: The fact it can throw requires wrapping in pcall.
4. The current name doesn't follow suggestions in `:h dev-naming` and I think
`get` would be suitable.
SOLUTION:
- Because these are performance-sensitive, don't introduce `opts`.
- Introduce an "overload" that accepts `encoding:string` and
`strict_indexing:bool` params.
```lua
local col = vim.str_utfindex(line, encoding, [index, [no_out_of_range]])
```
Support the old versions by dispatching on the type of argument 2, and
deprecate that form.
```lua
vim.str_utfindex(line) -- (utf-32 length, utf-16 length), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, index) -- (utf-32 index, utf-16 index), deprecated
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16') -- utf-16 length
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', index) -- utf-16 index
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge) -- error: index out of range
vim.str_utfindex(line, 'utf-16', math.huge, false) -- utf-16 length
```
Problem:
Hidden options are documented despite being no-ops.
Solution:
Remove docs for hidden options.
Move tags for options that we plan to restore, to ":help nvim-missing".
Move tags for permanently removed options, to ":help nvim-removed".
Problem: testing of options can be further improved
Solution: split the generated option test into test_options_all.vim,
add more test cases, save and restore values, fix use-after-free

Problem:
`vim.validate()` takes two forms when it only needs one.
Solution:
- Teach the fast form all the features of the spec form.
- Deprecate the spec form.
- General optimizations for both forms.
- Add a `message` argument which can be used alongside or in place
of the `optional` argument.
Problem:
- `vim.highlight` module does not follow `:help dev-name-common`, which
documents the name for "highlight" as "hl".
- Shorter names are usually preferred.
Solution:
Rename `vim.highlight` to `vim.hl`.
This is not a breaking change until 2.0 (or maybe never).
