NEW FEATURES                                                    *news-features*

The following new features were added.

API

• |nvim_win_text_height()| can limit the lines checked when a certain
  `max_height` is reached, and returns the `end_row` and `end_vcol` for which
  `max_height` or the calculated height is reached.
• |vim.secure.read()| now returns `true` for trusted directories. Previously
  it would return `nil`, which made it impossible to tell if the directory was
  actually trusted.
• Added |vim.lsp.is_enabled()| to check if a given LSP config has been enabled
  by |vim.lsp.enable()|.

BUILD

• A Zig-based build system has been added as an alternative to CMake. It is
  currently limited in functionality, and CMake remains the recommended option
  for the time being.

DEFAULTS

• 'statusline' default is exposed as a statusline expression (previously it
  was implemented as an internal C routine).

DIAGNOSTICS

• todo

EDITOR

• |:iput| works like |:put| but adjusts indent.

  https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specification/#textDocument_documentColor
• The `textDocument/diagnostic` request now includes the previous id in its
  parameters.

LUA

• Lua type annotations for `vim.uv`.
• |vim.hl.range()| now allows multiple timed highlights.
• |vim.tbl_extend()| and |vim.tbl_deep_extend()| now accept a function behavior argument.

OPTIONS

• 'autowriteall' writes all buffers upon receiving `SIGHUP`, `SIGQUIT` or `SIGTSTP`.
• 'chistory' and 'lhistory' set size of the |quickfix-stack|.
• 'completefuzzycollect' enables fuzzy collection of candidates for (some)
  |ins-completion| modes.
• 'completeopt' flag "nearset" sorts completion results by distance to cursor.
• 'diffopt' `inline:` configures diff highlighting for changes within a line.
• 'pummaxwidth' sets maximum width for the completion popup menu.
