* fix(api): allow silencing "Too many highlight groups" error
Problem: Using Lua's `vim.api.nvim_set_hl(0, 'New', {...})` can fail if
there are too many existing highlight groups. However, this error can
not be silenced with `pcall`.
Solution: Make it possible to silence in `nvim_set_hl` and
`nvim_get_hl_id_by_name`.
* fix(lsp): limit number of groups created by `document_color()`
Problem: A file can contain many string colors that would be highlighted
by an LSP server. If this number crosses 19999 (maximum number of
allowed highlight groups), there are general issues with creating
other highlight groups, which can break functionality outside of
`vim.lsp.document_color`.
Solution: Limit number of highlight groups that are created by
`vim.lsp.document_color` to 10000 (half of allowed maximum).
This is not a 100% solution (since there can exist more than 10000
other highlight groups), but explicitly checking number of groups is
slow and 10000 should (hopefully) be enough for most use cases.
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 advanced UIs without modifications to the core
- Maximize extensibility

Install from source
See BUILD.md and supported platforms 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_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo 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.
