For compatibility the following things are done: 1. Items with type greater then greatest type are ignored when reading and copied when writing. 2. Registers with unknown name are ignored when reading and blindly copied when writing. 3. Registers with unknown type are ignored when reading and merged as usual when writing. 4. Local and global marks with unknown names are ignored when reading. When writing global marks are blindly copied and local marks are also blindly copied, but only if file they are attached to fits in the `'N` limit defined in &shada. Unknown local mark’s timestamp is also taken into account when calculating which files exactly should fit into this limit. 5. History items with unknown type are ignored when reading and blindly copied when writing. 6. Unknown keys found in register, local marks, global marks, changes, jumps and search pattern entries are read to additional_data Dictionary and dumped (of course, unless any of these elements were not overwritten later). It obviously works only for values conversible to Object type. 7. Additional elements found in replacement string and history entries are read to additional_elements Array and dumped (same: only if they were not overwritten later). Again this works only for elements conversible to Object type. 8. Additional elements found in variable entries are simply ignored when reading. When writing *new* variables they will be preserved during merging, but that’s all. Variable values dumped from current NeoVim session never have additional elements.

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:
- Simplify maintenance and encourage contributions
- Split the work between multiple developers
- Enable the implementation of new/modern user interfaces without any modifications to the core source
- Improve extensibility with a new plugin architecture
For lots more details, see the wiki!
What's been done so far
- Terminal emulator
- Job control
- MessagePack-based remote API
- Performance, reliability, portability
See the progress page for a comprehensive list.
What's being worked on now
- Port all IO to libuv
- Convert legacy tests to Lua tests
- VimL => Lua translator
How do I get it?
There is a formula for OSX/homebrew, a PKGBUILD for Arch Linux, RPM, deb, and more. See the wiki!
Contributing
...would be awesome! See the wiki for more details.

Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are
encouraged to make a donation for needy children in Uganda. Please see the
kcc section of the vim docs or visit the ICCF web site, available at these URLs:

You can also sponsor the development of Vim. Vim sponsors can vote for
features. The money goes to Uganda anyway.
