- Providers for features are now registered as a unit. For example, instead of
calling `register_provider("clipboard_get")` and
`register_provider("clipboard_set")`, clients call
`register_provider("clipboard")` and nvim will assume it implements all
methods of the "clipboard" feature
- Bootstrapping code was removed. With the `api_spawn` function exposed to
vimscript, it's no longer necessary and will be handled by plugins
distributed with nvim.
- Now the `has` function will return true if there's a live channel that
has registered as a provider for the feature.
- 'initpython'/'initclipboard' options were removed
- A new API function was exposed: `vim_discover_features` which returns an
object with information about pluggable features such as 'python' or
'clipboard'
This reimplements the '+'/'*' clipboard registers(both are aliases to the same
register, no dedicated storage for the X11 selection) on top of the provider
infrastructure.
This adds two new 'unnamedclip' option, has the same effect of setting
'clipboard' to 'unnamed/unnamedplus' in vim
The 'clipboard' option was not reused because all values(except 'unnamedplus')
seem to be useless for Neovim, and the code to parse the option was relatively
big. The option remains for vim compatibility but it's silently ignored.
This uses the provider/scripting infrastructure to reintroduce python support
through the msgpack-rpc API.
A new 'initpython' option was added, and it must be set to a command that will
bootstrap the python provider the first time it's needed.
Normally the default encoding does not have much effect, since it's
overridden by the environment.
But when it's not (test with "LANG= LC_ALL= C_CTYPE= nvim" and perform
":set encoding?"), utf-8 should be the default encoding for a 21st
century editor :).
As discussed in #694, vim encryption uses old,
obsolete algorithms that are poorly implemented.
Since insecure cryptography is worse than no
cryptgraphy, the community voted in favor of
removing all crypto.
Various alternatives to the old crypto is
being discussed in #701.
Closes#694.
Move files from src/ to src/nvim/.
- src/nvim/ becomes the new root dir for nvim executable sources.
- src/libnvim/ is planned to become root dir of the neovim library.
