There are some places that mess with the window layout in preparation for moving
a window to a different split (win_split_ins called with new_wp != NULL).
This means the window layout can change slightly even if win_split_ins fails.
This is why it was still needed to restore the window layout in
aucmd_{prep,rest}buf even if we disallow win_split_ins from making aucmd_win
non-floating by moving it into a split.
We can just skip messing with the layout in such places if we're dealing with
the aucmd_win.

Install from package
Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.
Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!
Install from source
See the Building Neovim wiki page for details.
The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install
To install to a non-default location:
make CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install
CMake hints for inspecting the build:
cmake --build build --target helplists all build targets.build/CMakeCache.txt(orcmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.build/compile_commands.jsonshows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.
Transitioning from Vim
See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
