    INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES				*incompatible-7*

    These changes are incompatible with previous releases.  Check this list if you
    run into a problem when upgrading from Vim 6.x to 7.0.

    A ":write file" command no longer resets the 'modified' flag of the buffer,
    unless the '+' flag is in 'cpoptions' |cpo-+|.  This was illogical, since the
    buffer is still modified compared to the original file.  And when undoing
    all changes the file would actually be marked modified.  It does mean that
    ":quit" fails now.

    ":helpgrep" now uses a help window to display a match.

    In an argument list double quotes could be used to include spaces in a file
    name.  This caused a difference between ":edit" and ":next" for escaping
    double quotes and it is incompatible with some versions of Vi.
    	Command			Vim 6.x	file name	Vim 7.x file name
    	:edit foo\"888          'foo"888'         	'foo"888'
    	:next foo\"888          'foo888'          	'foo"888'
    	:next a\"b c\"d         'ab cd'           	'a"b' and 'c"d'

    In a |literal-string| a single quote can be doubled to get one.
    ":echo 'a''b'"' would result in "a b", but now that two quotes stand for one it
    results in "a'b".

    When overwriting a file with ":w! fname" there was no warning for when "fname"
    was being edited by another Vim.  Vim now gives an error message |E768|.

    The support for Mac OS 9 has been removed.

    Minor incompatibilities:

    For filetype detection: For many types, instead of ~/.dir/filename use
    */.dir/filename, so that it also works for other user's files.

    ":0verbose" now sets 'verbose' to zero instead of one.

    Removed the old and incomplete "VimBuddy" code.

    Buffers without a name report "No Name" instead of "No File".  It was
    confusing for buffers with a name and 'buftype' set to "nofile".

    When ":file xxx" is used in a buffer without a name, the alternate file name
    isn't set.  This avoids creating buffers without a name that are not useful.

    The "2html.vim" script now converts closed folds to HTML.  This means the HTML
    looks like its displayed, with the same folds open and closed.  Use "zR", or
    "let html_ignore_folding=1", if no folds should appear in the HTML. (partly by
    Carl Osterwisch)
    Diff mode now is also converted as it is displayed.

    Win32: The effect of the <F10> key depended on 'winaltkeys'.  Now it depends
    on whether <F10> has been mapped or not.  This allows mapping <F10> without
    changing 'winaltkeys'.

    When 'octal' is in 'nrformats' and using CTRL-A on "08" it became "018", which
    is illogical.  Now it becomes "9".  The leading zero(s) is(are) removed to
    avoid the number becoming octal after incrementing "009" to "010".

    When 'encoding' is set to a Unicode encoding, the value for 'fileencodings'
    now includes "default" before "latin1".  This means that for files with 8-bit
    encodings the default is to use the encoding specified by the environment, if
    possible.  Previously latin1 would always be used, which is wrong in a
    non-latin1 environment, such as Russian.

    Previously Vim would exit when there are two windows, both of them displaying
    a help file, and using ":quit".  Now only the window is closed.

    "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a digit.
    Otherwise it's used to set the 'window' option.

    Previously <Home> and <xHome> could be mapped separately.  This had the
    disadvantage that all mappings (with modifiers) had to be duplicated, since
    you can't be sure what the keyboard generates.  Now all <xHome> are internally
    translated to <Home>, both for the keys and for mappings.  Also for <xEnd>,
    <xF1>, etc.

    ":put" now leaves the cursor on the last inserted line.

    When a .gvimrc file exists then 'compatible' is off, just like when a ".vimrc"
    file exists.

    When making a string upper-case with "vlllU" or similar then the German sharp
    s is replaced with "SS".  This does not happen with "~" to avoid backwards
    compatibility problems and because "SS" can't be changed back to a sharp s.

    "gd" previously found the very first occurrence of a variable in a function,
    that could be the function argument without type.  Now it finds the position
    where the type is given.

    The line continuation in functions was not taken into account, line numbers in
    errors were logical lines, not lines in the sourced file.  That made it
    difficult to locate errors.  Now the line number in the sourced file is
    reported, relative to the function start.  This also means that line numbers
    for ":breakadd func" are different.

    When defining a user command with |:command| the special items could be
    abbreviated.  This caused unexpected behavior, such as <li> being recognized
    as <line1>.  The items can no longer be abbreviated.

    ==============================================================================

    NEW FEATURES						*new-7*

    Vim script enhancements					*new-vim-script*

    In Vim scripts the following types have been added:

    	List		ordered list of items |List|
    	Dictionary	associative array of items |Dictionary|
    	Funcref		reference to a function |Funcref|

    Many functions and commands have been added to support the new types.

    The |string()| function can be used to get a string representation of a
    variable.  Works for Numbers, Strings and composites of them.  Then |eval()|
    can be used to turn the string back into the variable value.

    The |:let| command can now use "+=".  ":let var += expr" works like
    ":let var = var + expr".  "-=" and ".=" works in a similar way.

    With the |:profile| command you can find out where your function or script
    wastes its time.

    In the Python interface vim.eval() also handles Dictionaries and Lists.
    |python-eval| (G. Sumner Hayes)

    The |getscript| plugin was added as a convenient way to update scripts from
    www.vim.org automatically. (Charles Campbell)

    The |vimball| plugin was added as a convenient way to distribute a set of
    files for a plugin (plugin file, autoload script, documentation). (Charles
    Campbell)

    Spell checking						*new-spell*

    Spell checking has been integrated in Vim.  There were a few implementations
    with scripts, but they were slow and/or required an external program.

    The 'spell' option is used to switch spell checking on or off.
    The 'spelllang' option is used to specify the languages that are accepted.
    The 'spellfile' option specifies where new words are added.
    The 'spellsuggest' option specifies the methods used for making suggestions

    The |[s| and |]s| commands can be used to move to the next or previous error.
    The |zg| and |zw| commands can be used to add good and wrong words.
    The |z=| command can be used to correct the word.
    The |:mkspell| command is used to generate a Vim spell file from word lists.

    The "undercurl" highlighting attribute was added to nicely point out spelling
    mistakes in the GUI (based on patch from Marcin Dalecki).
    The "guisp" color can be used to give it a color different from foreground and
    background.
    The number of possible different highlight attributes was raised from about
    220 to over 30000.  This allows for the attributes of spelling to be combined
    with syntax highlighting attributes.  This is also used for syntax
    highlighting.

    Much more info here: |spell|.

    Omni completion					*new-omni-completion*

    This could also be called "intellisense", but that is a trademark.  It is a
    smart kind of completion.  The text in front of the cursor is inspected to
    figure out what could be following.  This may suggest struct and class
    members, system functions, etc.

    Use CTRL-X CTRL-O in Insert mode to start the completion.  |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|

    The 'omnifunc' option is set by filetype plugins to define the function that
    figures out the completion.

    Currently supported languages:
    	C					|ft-c-omni|
    	(X)HTML with CSS			|ft-html-omni|
    	JavaScript				|ft-javascript-omni|
    	any language wih syntax highligting	|ft-syntax-omni|
    	XML					|ft-xml-omni|

    When the 'completeopt' option contains "menu" then matches for Insert mode
    completion are displayed in a popup menu.

    MzScheme interface					*new-MzScheme*

    The MzScheme interpreter is supported. |MzScheme|
    The |:mzscheme| command can be used to execute MzScheme commands.
    The |:mzfile| command can be used to execute an MzScheme script file.

    Printing multi-byte text				*new-print-multi-byte*

    The |:hardcopy| command now supports printing multi-byte characters.
    The 'printmbcharset' and 'printmbfont' options are used for this.
    Also see |postscript-cjk-printing|.  (Mike Williams)

    Tab pages						*new-tab-pages*

    A tab page is page with one or more windows with a label (aka tab) at the top.
    By clicking on the label you can quickly switch between the tab pages.  And
    with the keyboard, using the |gt| (Goto Tab) command.  This is a convenient
    way to work with many windows.

    To start Vim with each file argument in a separate tab page use the |-p|
    argument.  The maximum number of pages can be set with 'tabpagemax'.

    The line with tab labels is either made with plain text an highlighting or
    with a GUI mechanism.  The GUI labels look better but are only available on a
    few systems.  The line can be customized with 'tabline' and 'guitablabel'.
    Whether it is displayed is set with 'showtabline'.  Whether to use the GUI
    labels is set with the "e" flag in 'guioptions'.

    The |:tab| command modifier can be used to have most commands that open a new
    window open a new tab instead.

    The |--remote-tab| argument can be used to edit a file in a new tab page in an
    already running Vim server.

    More info here: |tabpage|

    Undo branches						*new-undo-branches*

    Previously there was only one line of undo-redo.  If, after undoing a number
    of changes, a new change was made all the undone changes were lost.  This
    could lead to accidentally losing work.

    Vim now makes an undo branch in this situation.  Thus you can go back to the
    text after any change, even if they were undone.  So long as you do not run
    into 'undolevels', undo information is freed up to limit the memory used.

    To be able to navigate the undo branches each change is numbered sequentially.
    The commands |g-| and |:earlier| go back in time, to older changes.  The
    commands |g+| and |:later| go forward in time, to newer changes.

    The changes are also timestamped.  Use ":earlier 10m" to go to the text as it
    was about ten minutes earlier.

    The |:undolist| command can be used to get an idea of which undo branches
    exist.  The |:undo| command now takes an argument to directly jump to a
    specific position in this list.  The |changenr()| function can be used to
    obtain the change number.

    There is no graphical display of the tree with changes, navigation can be
    quite confusing.

    Extended Unicode support				*new-more-unicode*

    Previously only two combining characters were displayed.  The limit is now
    raised to 6.  This can be set with the 'maxcombine' option.  The default is
    still 2.

    |ga| now shows all combining characters, not just the first two.

    Previously only 16 bit Unicode characters were supported for displaying.  Now
    the full 32 bit character set can be used.  Unless manually disabled at
    compile time.

    For pattern matching it is now possible to search for individual composing
    characters. |patterns-composing|

    The |8g8| command searches for an illegal UTF-8 byte sequence.

    More highlighting				*new-more-highlighting*

    Highlighting matching parens

    When moving the cursor through the text and it is on a paren, then the
    matching paren can be highlighted.  This uses the new |CursorMoved|
    autocommand event.

    See |matchparen| for more information.

    The plugin uses the |:match| command.  It now supports three match patterns.
    The plugin uses the third one.  The first one is for the user and the second
    one can be used by another plugin.

    Highlighting the cursor line and column

    The 'cursorline' and 'cursorcolumn' options have been added.  These highlight
    the screen line and screen column of the cursor.  This makes the cursor
    position easier to spot.  'cursorcolumn' is also useful to align text.  The
    CursorColumn and CursorLine highlighting allow changing the colors used.
    |hl-CursorColumn| |hl-CursorLine|

    Translated manual pages					*new-manpage-trans*

    The manual page of Vim and associated programs is now also available in
    several other languages.

    French  - translated by David Blanchet
    Italian - translated by Antonio Colombo
    Russian - translated by Vassily Ragosin

    The Unix Makefile installs the Italian manual pages in .../man/it/man1/,
    .../man/it.ISO8859-1/man1/ and .../man/it.UTF-8/man1/.  There appears to be no
    standard for what encoding goes in the "it" directory, the 8-bit encoded file
    is used there as a best guess.
    Other languages are installed in similar places.
    The translated pages are not automatically installed when Vim was configured
    with "--disable-nls", but "make install-languages install-tool-languages" will
    do it anyway.

    Internal grep						*new-vimgrep*

    The ":vimgrep" command can be used to search for a pattern in a list of files.
    This is like the ":grep" command, but no external program is used.  Besides
    better portability, handling of different file encodings and using multi-line
    patterns, this also allows grepping in compressed and remote files.
    |:vimgrep|.

    If you want to use the search results in a script you can use the
    |getqflist()| function.

    To search in files in various directories the "**" pattern can be used.  It
    expands into an arbitrary depth of directories.  "**" can be used in all
    places where file names are expanded, thus also with |:next| and |:args|.

    Scroll back in messages					*new-scroll-back*

    When displaying messages, at the |more-prompt| and the |hit-enter-prompt|, The
    'k', 'u' and 'b' keys can be used to scroll back to previous messages.  This
    is especially useful for commands such as ":syntax", ":autocommand" and
    ":highlight".  This is implemented in a generic way thus it works for all
    commands and highlighting is kept.  Only works when the 'more' option is set.
    Previously it only partly worked for ":clist".

    The |g<| command can be used to see the last page of messages after you have
    hit <Enter> at the |hit-enter-prompt|.  Then you can scroll further back.

    Cursor past end of the line				*new-onemore*

    When the 'virtualedit' option contains "onemore" the cursor can move just past
    the end of the line.  As if it's on top of the line break.

    This makes some commands more consistent.  Previously the cursor was always
    past the end of the line if the line was empty.  But it is far from Vi
    compatible.  It may also break some plugins or Vim scripts.  Use with care!

    The patch was provided by Mattias Flodin.

    POSIX compatibility					*new-posix*

    The POSIX test suite was used to verify POSIX compatibility.  A number of
    problems have been fixed to make Vim more POSIX compatible.  Some of them
    conflict with traditional Vi or expected behavior.  The $VIM_POSIX environment
    variable can be set to get POSIX compatibility.  See |posix|.

    Items that were fixed for both Vi and POSIX compatibilty:
    - repeating "R" with a count only overwrites text once; added the 'X' flag to
      'cpoptions' |cpo-X|
    - a vertical movement command that moves to a non-existing line fails; added
      the '-' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo--|
    - when preserving a file and doing ":q!" the file can be recovered; added the
      '&' flag to 'cpoptions' |cpo-&|
    - The 'window' option is partly implemented.  It specifies how much CTRL-F and
      CTRL-B scroll when there is one window.  The "-w {number}" argument is now
      accepted.  "-w {scriptout}" only works when {scriptout} doesn't start with a
      digit.
    - Allow "-c{command}" argument, no space between "-c" and {command}.
    - When writing a file with ":w!" don't reset 'readonly' when 'Z' is present in
      'cpoptions'.
    - Allow 'l' and '#' flags for ":list", ":print" and ":number".
    - Added the '.' flag to 'cpoptions': ":cd" fails when the buffer is modified.
    - In Ex mode with an empty buffer ":read file" doesn't keep an empty line
      above or below the new lines.
    - Remove a backslash before a NL for the ":global" command.
    - When ":append", ":insert" or ":change" is used with ":global", get the
      inserted lines from the command.  Can use backslash-NL to separate lines.
    - Can use ":global /pat/ visual" to execute Normal mode commands at each
      matched line.  Use "Q" to continue and go to the next line.
    - The |:open| command has been partially implemented.  It stops Ex mode, but
      redraws the whole screen, not just one line as open mode is supposed to do.
    - Support using a pipe to read the output from and write input to an external
      command.  Added the 'shelltemp' option and has("filterpipe").
    - In ex silent mode the ":set" command output is displayed.
    - The ":@@" and ":**" give an error message when no register was used before.
    - The search pattern "[]-`]" matches ']', '^', '_' and '`'.
    - Autoindent for ":insert" is using the line below the insert.
    - Autoindent for ":change" is using the first changed line.
    - Editing Ex command lines is not done in cooked mode, because CTRL-D and
      CTRL-T cannot be handled then.
    - In Ex mode, "1,3" prints three lines.  "%" prints all lines.
    - In Ex mode "undo" would undo all changes since Ex mode was started.
    - Implemented the 'prompt' option.

    Debugger support					*new-debug-support*

    The 'balloonexpr' option has been added.  This is a generic way to implement
    balloon functionality.  You can use it to show info for the word under the
    mouse pointer.

    Remote file explorer					*new-netrw-explore*

    The netrw plugin now also supports viewing a directory, when "scp://" is used.
    Deleting and renaming files is possible.

    To avoid duplicating a lot of code, the previous file explorer plugin has been
    integrated in the netrw plugin.  This means browsing local and remote files
    works the same way.

    ":browse edit" and ":browse split" use the netrw plugin when it's available
    and a GUI dialog is not possible.

    The netrw plugin is maintained by Charles Campbell.

    Define an operator					*new-define-operator*

    Previously it was not possible to define your own operator; a command that is
    followed by a {motion}.  Vim 7 introduces the 'operatorfunc' option and the
    |g@| operator.  This makes it possible to define a mapping that works like an
    operator.  The actual work is then done by a function, which is invoked
    through the |g@| operator.

    See |:map-operator| for the explanation and an example.

    Mapping to an expression				*new-map-expression*

    The {rhs} argument of a mapping can be an expression.  That means the
    resulting characters can depend on the context.  Example:
    	:inoremap <expr> . InsertDot()
    Here the dot will be mapped to whatever InsertDot() returns.

    Also works for abbreviations.  See |:map-<expr>| for the details.

    Visual and Select mode mappings				*new-map-select*

    Previously Visual mode mappings applied both to Visual and Select mode.  With
    a trick to have the mappings work in Select mode like they would in Visual
    mode.

    Commands have been added to define mappings for Visual and Select mode
    separately: |:xmap| and |:smap|.  With the associated "noremap" and "unmap"
    commands.

    The same is done for menus: |:xmenu|, |:smenu|, etc.

    Location list						*new-location-list*

    The support for a per-window quickfix list (location list) is added. The
    location list can be displayed in a location window (similar to the quickfix
    window). You can open more than one location list window. A set of commands
    similar to the quickfix commands are added to browse the location list.
    (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

    Various new items					*new-items-7*

    Normal mode commands:

    a", a' and a`		New text objects to select quoted strings. |a'|
    i", i' and i`		(Taro Muraoka)

    			slow redrawing when there are very long lines
    'verbosefile'		Log messages in a file.

    |/\%U| \%U1234abcd	search for character with 8 pos. hex number
    |/\]|  [\U1234abcd]	idem, in a colletion
    			    (The above partly by Ciaran McCreesh)

    |/[[=| [[=a=]]		an equivalence class (only for latin1 characters)
    |/[[.| [[.a.]]		a collation element (only works with single char)

    |/\%'m|  \%'m		match at mark m
    |/\%<'m| \%<'m		match before mark m
    |/\%>'m| \%>'m		match after mark m
    |/\%V|   \%V		match in Visual area

    Nesting |/multi| items no longer is an error when an empty match is possible.

    It is now possible to use \{0}, it matches the preceding atom zero times.  Not
    useful, just for compatibility.

    New Syntax/Indent/FTplugin files:

    MuPAD source syntax, indent and ftplugin. (Dave Silvia)

    ABAB/4 syntax file. (Marius van Wyk)

    SQL-Informix syntax file. (Dean L Hill)

    Handling of various SQL variants. (David Fishburn)

    PHP compiler plugin. (Doug Kearns)

    Sive syntax file. (Nikolai Weibull)

    Pascal indent file. (Neil Carter)

    Many filetype plugins and others from Nikolai Weibull.

    Xquery syntax file. (Jean-Marc Vanel)

    Moved all the indent settings from the filetype plugin to the indent file.
    Implemented b:undo_indent to undo indent settings when setting 'filetype' to a
    different value.

    VHDL indent file (Gerald Lai)

    MGL syntax file. (Gero Kuhlmann)

    rd syntax file. (Johannes Ranke)

    New Keymaps:

    Sinhala (Sri Lanka) (Harshula Jayasuriya)

    Tamil in TSCII encoding (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

    New message translations:

    The Ukranian messages are now also available in cp1251.

    Irish message translations. (Kevin Patrick Scannell)

    Vietnamese message translations and menu. (Phan Vinh Thinh)

    Others:

    The Netbeans interface was updated for Sun Studio 10.  The protocol number
    goes from 2.2 to 2.3. (Gordon Prieur)

    Mac: When starting up Vim will load the $VIMRUNTIME/macmap.vim script to
    define default command-key mappings. (mostly by Benji Fisher)

    Mac: Add the selection type to the clipboard, so that Block, line and
    character selections can be used between two Vims. (Eckehard Berns)
    Also fixes the problem that setting 'clipboard' to "unnamed" breaks using
    "yyp".

    Mac: GUI font selector. (Peter Cucka)

    Mac: support for multi-byte characters. (Da Woon Jung)

    Mac: Support the xterm mouse in the non-GUI version.

    Mac: better integration with Xcode.  Post a fake mouse-up event after the odoc
    event and the drag receive handler to work around a stall after Vim loads a
    file.  Fixed an off-by-one line number error. (Da Woon Jung)

    Added the t_SI and t_EI escape sequences for starting and ending Insert mode.
    GUI font selector for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki)

    Nicer toolbar buttons for Motif. (Marcin Dalecki)

    Mnemonics for the Motif find/replace dialog. (Marcin Dalecki)

    To be used to set the cursor shape to a bar or a block.  No default values,
    they are not supported by termcap/terminfo.

    Autocommands can be defined local to a buffer.  This means they will also work
    when the buffer does not have a name or no specific name.  See
    |autocmd-buflocal|.  (Yakov Lerner)

    For xterm most combinations of modifiers with function keys are recognized.
    |xterm-modifier-keys|

    When 'verbose' is set the output of ":highlight" will show where a highlight
    item was last set.
    When 'verbose' is set the output of the ":map", ":abbreviate", ":command",
    ":function" and ":autocmd" commands will show where it was last defined.
    (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

    ":function /pattern" lists functions matching the pattern.

    "1gd" can be used like "gd" but ignores matches in a {} block that ends before
    the cursor position.  Likewise for "1gD" and "gD".

    'scrolljump' can be set to a negative number to scroll a percentage of the
    window height.

    The |v:scrollstart| variable has been added to help finding the location in
    your script that causes the hit-enter prompt.

    To make it possible to handle the situation that a file is being edited that
    is already being edited by another Vim instance, the |SwapExists| event has
    been added.  The |v:swapname|, |v:swapchoice| and |v:swapcommand| variables
    can be used, for example to use the |client-server| functionality to bring the
    other Vim to the foreground.
    When starting Vim with a "-t tag" argument, there is an existing swapfile and
    the user selects "quit" or "abort" then exit Vim.

    Undo now also restores the '< and '> marks.  "gv" selects the same area as
    before the change and undo.

    When editing a search pattern for a "/" or "?" command and 'incsearch' is set
    CTRL-L can be used to add a character from the current match.  CTRL-R CTRL-W
    will add a word, but exclude the part of the word that was already typed.

    Ruby interface: add line number methods. (Ryan Paul)

    ==============================================================================

    IMPROVEMENTS						*improvements-7*

    ":helpgrep" accepts a language specifier after the pattern: "pat@it".

    Move the help for printing to a separate help file.  It's quite a lot now.

    When doing completion for ":!cmd", ":r !cmd" or ":w !cmd" executable files are
    found in $PATH instead of looking for ordinary files in the current directlry.

    When ":silent" is used and a backwards range is given for an Ex command the
    range is swapped automatically instead of asking if that is OK.

    The pattern matching code was changed from a recursive function to an
    iterative mechanism.  This avoids out-of-stack errors.  State is stored in
    allocated memory, running out of memory can always be detected.  Allows
    matching more complex things, but Vim may seem to hang while doing that.

    Previously some options were always evaluated in the |sandbox|.  Now that only
    happens when the option was set from a modeline or in secure mode.  Applies to
    'balloonexpr', 'foldexpr', 'foldtext' and 'includeexpr'. (Sumner Hayes)

    Some commands and expressions could have nasty side effects, such as using
    CTRL-R = while editing a search pattern and the expression invokes a function
    that jumps to another window.  The |textlock| has been added to prevent this
    from happening.

    ":breakadd here" and ":breakdel here" can be used to set or delete a
    breakpoint at the cursor.

    It is now possible to define a function with:
    	:exe "func Test()\n ...\n endfunc"

    The tutor was updated to make it simpler to use and added text to explain a
    few more important commands.  Used ideas from Gabriel Zachmann.

    Unix: When libcall() fails obtain an error message with dlerror() and display
    it. (Johannes Zellner)

    Mac and Cygwin: When editing an existing file make the file name the same case
    of the edited file.  Thus when typing ":e os_UNIX.c" the file name becomes
    "os_unix.c".

    Added "nbsp" in 'listchars'. (David Blanchet)

    Added the "acwrite" value for the 'buftype' option.  This is for a buffer that
    does not have a name that refers to a file and is written with BufWriteCmd
    autocommands.

    For lisp indenting and matching parenthesis: (Sergey Khorev)
    - square brackets are recognized properly
    - #\(, #\), #\[ and #\] are recognized as character literals
    - Lisp line comments (delimited by semicolon) are recognized

    Added the "count" argument to match(), matchend() and matchstr(). (Ilya Sher)

    winnr() takes an optional "$" and "#" arguments.  (Nikolai Weibull, Yegappan
    Lakshmanan)

    Added 's' flag to search(): set '' mark if cursor moved. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
    Added 'n' flag to search(): don't move the cursor. (Nikolai Weibull)
    Added 'c' flag to search(): accept match at the cursor.
    Added 'e' flag to search(): move to end of the match. (Benji Fisher)
    Added 'p' flag to search(): return number of sub-pattern. (Benji Fisher)
    These also apply to searchpos(), searchpair() and searchpairpos().
    The search() and searchpair() functions have an extra argument to specify
    where to stop searching.  Speeds up searches that should not continue too far.

    When uncompressing fails in the gzip plugin, give an error message but don't
    delete the raw text.  Helps if the file has a .gz extension but is not
    actually compressed. (Andrew Pimlott)

    When C, C++ or IDL syntax is used, may additionally load doxygen syntax.
    (Michael Geddes)

    Support setting 'filetype' and 'syntax' to "aaa.bbb" for "aaa" plus "bbb"
    filetype or syntax.

    The ":registers" command now displays multi-byte characters properly.

    VMS: In the usage message mention that a slash can be used to make a flag
    upper case.  Add color support to the builtin vt320 terminal codes.
    (Zoltan Arpadffy)

    For the '%' item in 'viminfo', allow a number to set a maximum for the number
    of buffers.

    When a file looks like a shell script, check for an "exec" command that starts
    the tcl interpreter. (suggested by Alexios Zavras)

    Support conversion between utf-8 and latin9 (iso-8859-15) internally, so that
    digraphs still work when iconv is not available.

    When a session file is loaded while editing an unnamed, empty buffer that
    buffer is wiped out.  Avoids that there is an unused buffer in the buffer
    list.

    Win32: When libintl.dll supports bind_textdomain_codeset(), use it.
    (NAKADAIRA Yukihiro)

    Win32: Vim was not aware of hard links on NTFS file systems.  These are
    detected now for when 'backupcopy' is "auto".  Also fixed a bogus "file has
    been changed since reading it" error for links.

    When foldtext() finds no text after removing the comment leader, use the
    second line of the fold.  Helps for C-style /* */ comments where the first
    line is just "/*".

    When editing the same file from two systems (e.g., Unix and MS-Windows) there
    mostly was no warning for an existing swap file, because the name of the
    edited file differs (e.g., y:\dir\file vs /home/me/dir/file).  Added a flag to
    the swap file to indicate it is in the same directory as the edited file.  The
    used path then doesn't matter and the check for editing the same file is much
    more reliable.

    Unix: When editing a file through a symlink the swap file would use the name
    of the symlink.  Now use the name of the actual file, so that editing the same
    file twice is detected. (suggestions by Stefano Zacchiroli and James Vega)

    Client-server communication now supports 'encoding'.  When setting 'encoding'
    in a Vim server to "utf-8", and using "vim --remote fname" in a console,
    "fname" is converted from the console encoding to utf-8.  Also allows Vims
    with different 'encoding' settings to exchange messages.

    Internal: Changed ga_room into ga_maxlen, so that it doesn't need to be
    incremented/decremented each time.

    Included a few improvements for Motif from Marcin Dalecki.  Draw label
    contents ourselves to make them handle fonts in a way configurable by Vim and
    a bit less dependent on the X11 font management.

    When a register is empty it is not stored in the viminfo file.

    Removed the tcltags script, it's obsolete.

    ":redir @*>>" and ":redir @+>>" append to the clipboard.  Better check for
    invalid characters after the register name. |:redir|

    ":redir => variable" and ":redir =>> variable" write or append to a variable.
    (Yegappan Lakshmanan) |:redir|

    ":redir @{a-z}>>" appends to register a to z. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

    The 'verbosefile' option can be used to log messages in a file.  Verbose
    messages are not displayed then.  The "-V{filename}" argument can be used to
    log startup messages.

    ":let g:" lists global variables.
    ":let b:" lists buffer-local variables.
    ":let w:" lists window-local variables.
    ":let v:" lists Vim variables.

    The stridx() and strridx() functions take a third argument, where to start
    searching.  (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

    The getreg() function takes an extra argument to be able to get the expression
    for the '=' register instead of the result of evaluating it.

    The setline() function can take a List argument to set multiple lines.  When
    the line number is just below the last line the line is appended.

    g CTRL-G also shows the number of characters if it differs from the number of
    bytes.

    Completion for ":debug" and entering an expression for the '=' register.  Skip
    ":" between range and command name. (Peter winters)

    CTRL-Q in Insert mode now works like CTRL-V by default.  Previously it was
    ignored.

    When "beep" is included in 'debug' a function or script that causes a beep
    will result in a message with the source of the error.

    When completing buffer names, match with "\(^\|[\/]\)" instead of "^", so that
    ":buf stor<Tab>" finds both "include/storage.h" and "storage/main.c".

    To count items (pattern matches) without changing the buffer the 'n' flag has
    been added to |:substitute|.  See |count-items|.

    In a |:substitute| command the \u, \U, \l and \L items now also work for
    multi-byte characters.

    The "screen.linux" $TERM name is recognized to set the default for
    'background' to "dark". (Ciaran McCreesh)  Also for "cygwin" and "putty".

    The |FileChangedShell| autocommand event can now use the |v:fcs_reason|
    variable that specifies what triggered the event.  |v:fcs_choice| can be used
    to reload the buffer or ask the user what to do.

    Not all modifiers were recognized for xterm function keys.  Added the
    possibility in term codes to end in ";*X" or "O*X", where X is any character
    and the * stands for the modifier code.
    Added the <xUp>, <xDown>, <xLeft> and <xRight> keys, to be able to recognize
    the two forms that xterm can send their codes in and still handle all possible
    modifiers.

    getwinvar() now also works to obtain a buffer-local option from the specified
    window.

    Added the "%s" item to 'errorformat'. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
    Added the "%>" item to 'errorformat'.

    For 'errorformat' it was not possible to have a file name that contains the
    character that follows after "%f".  For example, in "%f:%l:%m" the file name
    could not contain ":".  Now include the first ":" where the rest of the
    pattern matches.  In the example a ":" not followed by a line number is
    included in the file name. (suggested by Emanuele Giaquinta)

    GTK GUI: use the GTK file dialog when it's available.  Mix from patches by
    Grahame Bowland and Evan Webb.

    Added ":scriptnames" to bugreport.vim, so that we can see what plugins were
    used.

    Win32: If the user changes the setting for the number of lines a scroll wheel
    click scrolls it is now used immediately.  Previously Vim would need to be
    restarted.

    When using @= in an expression the value is expression @= contains.  ":let @=
    = value" can be used to set the register contents.

    A ! can be added to ":popup" to have the popup menu appear at the mouse
    pointer position instead of the text cursor.

    The table with encodings has been expanded with many MS-Windows codepages,
    such as cp1250 and cp737, so that these can also be used on Unix without
    prepending "8bit-".
    When an encoding name starts with "microsoft-cp" ignore the "microsoft-" part.

    Added the "customlist" completion argument to a user-defined command.  The
    user-defined completion function should return the completion candidates as a
    Vim List and the returned results are not filtered by Vim. (Yegappan
    Lakshmanan)

    Win32: Balloons can have multiple lines if common controls supports it.
    (Sergey Khorev)

    For command-line completion the matches for various types of arguments are now
    sorted: user commands, variables, syntax names, etc.

    When no locale is set, thus using the "C" locale, Vim will work with latin1
    characters, using its own isupper()/toupper()/etc. functions.

    When using an rxvt terminal emulator guess the value of 'background' using the
    COLORFGBG environment variable. (Ciaran McCreesh)

    Also support t_SI and t_EI on Unix with normal features. (Ciaran McCreesh)

    When 'foldcolumn' is one then put as much info in it as possible.  This allows
    closing a fold with the mouse by clicking on the '-'.

    input() takes an optional completion argument to specify the type of
    completion supported for the input. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

    "dp" works with more than two buffers in diff mode if there is only one where
    'modifiable' is set.

    The 'diffopt' option has three new values: "horizontal", "vertical" and
    "foldcolumn".

    When the 'include' option contains \zs the file name found is what is being
    matched from \zs to the end or \ze.  Useful to pass more to 'includeexpr'.

    Loading plugins on startup now supports subdirectories in the plugin
    directory. |load-plugins|

    In the foldcolumn always show the '+' for a closed fold, so that it can be
    opened easily.  It may overwrite another character, esp. if 'foldcolumn' is 1.

    It is now possible to get the W10 message again by setting 'readonly'.  Useful
    in the FileChangedRO autocommand when checking out the file fails.

    Unix: When open() returns EFBIG give an appropriate message.

    ":mksession" sets the SessionLoad variable to notify plugins.  A modeline is
    added to the session file to set 'filetype' to "vim".

    In the ATTENTION prompt put the "Delete it" choice before "Quit" to make it
    more logical.  (Robert Webb)

    When appending to a file while the buffer has no name the name of the appended
    file would be used for the current buffer.  But the buffer contents is
    actually different from the file content.  Don't set the file name, unless the
    'P' flag is present in 'cpoptions'.

    When starting to edit a new file and the directory for the file doesn't exist
    then Vim will report "[New DIRECTORY]" instead of "[New File] to give the user
    a hint that something might be wrong.

    Win32: Preserve the hidden attribute of the viminfo file.

    In Insert mode CTRL-A didn't keep the last inserted text when using CTRL-O and
    then a cursor key.  Now keep the previously inserted text if nothing is
    inserted after the CTRL-O.  Allows using CTRL-O commands to move the cursor
    without losing the last inserted text.

    The exists() function now supports checking for autocmd group definition
    and for supported autocommand events. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

    Allow using ":global" in the sandbox, it doesn't do anything harmful by
    itself.

    ":saveas asdf.c" will set 'filetype' to c when it's empty.  Also for ":w
    asdf.c" when it sets the filename for the buffer.

    Insert mode completion for whole lines now also searches unloaded buffers.

    The colortest.vim script can now be invoked directly with ":source" or
    ":runtime".

    The 'statusline' option can be local to the window, so that each window can
    have a different value.  (partly by Yegappan Lakshmanan)

    The 'statusline' option and other options that support the same format can now
    use these new features:
    - When it starts with "%!" the value is first evaluated as an expression
      before parsing the value.
    - "%#HLname#" can be used to start highlighting with HLname.

    When 'statusline' is set to something that causes an error message then it is
    made empty to avoid an endless redraw loop.  Also for other options, such at
    'tabline' and 'titlestring'.  ":verbose set statusline" will mention that it
    was set in an error handler.

    When there are several matching tags, the ":tag <name>" and CTRL-] commands
    jump to the [count] matching tag. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)

    Win32: In the batch files generated by the install program, use $VIMRUNTIME or
    $VIM if it's set.  Example provided by Mathias Michaelis.
    Also create a vimtutor.bat batch file.

    The 'balloonexpr' option is now |global-local|.

    The system() function now runs in cooked mode, thus can be interrupted by
    CTRL-C.

    ==============================================================================

    COMPILE TIME CHANGES					*compile-changes-7*

    Dropped the support for the BeOS and Amiga GUI.  They were not maintained and
    probably didn't work.  If you want to work on this: get the Vim 6.x version
    and merge it back in.

    When running the tests and one of them fails to produce "test.out" the
    following tests are still executed.  This helps when running out of memory.

    When compiling with EXITFREE defined and the ccmalloc library it is possible
    to detect memory leaks.  Some memory will always reported as leaked, such as
    allocated by X11 library functions and the memory allocated in alloc_cmdbuff()
    to store the ":quit" command.

    Moved the code for printing to src/hardcopy.c.

    Moved some code from main() to separate functions to make it easier to see
    what is being done.  Use a structure to avoid a lot of arguments to the
    functions.

    Moved unix_expandpath() to misc1.c, so that it can also be used by os_mac.c
    without copying the code.

    "make" now creates the Vim.app directory and "make install" copies it to its
    final destination. (Raf)

    Put the runtime directory not directly in Vim.app but in
    Vim.app/Contents/Resources/vim, so that it's according to Mac specs.

    Made it possible to compile with Motif, Athena or GTK without tricks and still
    being able to use the MacRoman conversion.  Added the os_mac_conv.c file.

    When running "make install" the runtime files are installed as for Unix.
    Avoids that too many files are copied.  When running "make" a link to the
    runtime files is created to avoid a recursive copy that takes much time.

    Configure will attempt to build Vim for both Intel and PowerPC.  The
    --with-mac-arch configure argument can change it.

    The Make_mvc.mak file was adjusted to work with the latest MS compilers,
    including the free version of Visual Studio 2005. (George Reilly)

    INSTALLpc.txt was updated for the recent changes. (George Reilly)

    The distributed executable is now produced with the free Visual C++ Toolkit
    2003 and other free SDK chunks.  msvcsetup.bat was added to support this.

    Also generate the .pdb file that can be used to generate a useful crash report
    on MS-Windows. (George Reilly)

    ==============================================================================

    BUG FIXES						*bug-fixes-7*

    When using PostScript printing on MS-DOS the default 'printexpr' used "lpr"
    instead of "copy".  When 'printdevice' was empty the copy command did not
    work.  Use "LPT1" then.

    The GTK font dialog uses a font size zero when the font name doesn't include a
    size.  Use a default size of 10.

    This example in the documentation didn't work:
        :e `=foo . ".c" `
    Skip over the expression in `=expr` when looking for comments, |, % and #.

    When ":helpgrep" doesn't find anything there is no error message.

    "L" and "H" did not take closed folds into account.

    Win32: The "-P title" argument stopped at the first title that matched, even
    when it doesn't support MDI.

    Mac GUI: CTRL-^ and CTRL-@ did not work.

    "2daw" on "word." at the end of a line didn't include the preceding white
    space.

    Win32: Using FindExecutable() doesn't work to find a program.  Use
    SearchPath() instead.  For executable() use $PATHEXT when the program searched
    for doesn't have an extension.

    When 'virtualedit' is set, moving the cursor up after appending a character
    may move it to a different column.  Was caused by auto-formatting moving the
    cursor and not putting it back where it was.

    When indent was added automatically and then moving the cursor, the indent was
    not deleted (like when pressing ESC).  The "I" flag in 'cpoptions' can be used
    to make it work the old way.

    When opening a command-line window, 'textwidth' gets set to 78 by the Vim
    filetype plugin.  Reset 'textwidth' to 0 to avoid lines are broken.

    After using cursor(line, col) moving up/down doesn't keep the same column.

    Win32: Borland C before 5.5 requires using ".u." for LowPart and HighPart
    fields. (Walter Briscoe)

    On Sinix SYS_NMLN isn't always defined.  Define it ourselves. (Cristiano De
    Michele)

    Printing with PostScript may keep the printer waiting for more.  Append a
    CTRL-D to the printer output. (Mike Williams)

    When converting a string with a hex or octal number the leading '-' was
    ignored.  ":echo '-05' + 0" resulted in 5 instead of -5.

    Using "@:" to repeat a command line didn't work when it contains control
    characters.  Also remove "'<,'>" when in Visual mode to avoid that it appears
    twice.

    When using file completion for a user command, it would not expand environment
    variables like for a regular command with a file argument.

    'cindent': When the argument of a #define looks like a C++ class the next line
    is indented too much.

    When 'comments' includes multi-byte characters inserting the middle part and
    alignment may go wrong.  'cindent' also suffers from this for right-aligned
    items.

    Win32: when 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" getenv() still returns strings in the
    active codepage.  Convert to utf-8.  Also for $HOME.

    The default for 'helplang' was "zh" for both "zh_cn" and "zh_tw".  Now use
    "cn" or "tw" as intended.

    When 'bin' is set and 'eol' is not set then line2byte() added the line break
    after the last line while it's not there.

    Using foldlevel() in a WinEnter autocommand may not work.  Noticed when
    resizing the GUI shell upon startup.

    Python: Using buffer.append(f.readlines()) didn't work.  Allow appending a
    string with a trailing newline.  The newline is ignored.

    When using the ":saveas f2" command for buffer "f1", the Buffers menu would
    contain "f2" twice, one of them leading to "f1".  Also trigger the BufFilePre
    and BufFilePost events for the alternate buffer that gets the old name.

    strridx() did not work well when the needle is empty. (Ciaran McCreesh)

    GTK: Avoid a potential hang in gui_mch_wait_for_chars() when input arrives
    just before it is invoked

    VMS: Occasionally CR characters were inserted in the file.  Expansion of
    environment variables was not correct. (Zoltan Arpadffy)

    UTF-8: When 'delcombine' is set "dw" only deleted the last combining character
    from the first character of the word.

    When using ":sball" in an autocommand only the filetype in one buffer was
    detected.  Reset did_filetype in enter_buffer().

    When using ":argdo" and the window already was at the first argument index,
    but not actually editing it, the current buffer would be used instead.

    When ":next dir/*" includes many matches, adding the names to the argument
    list may take an awful lot of time and can't be interrupted.  Allow
    interrupting this.

    When editing a file that was already loaded in a buffer, modelines were not
    used.  Now window-local options in the modeline are set.  Buffer-local options
    and global options remain unmodified.

    Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" in the vimrc file, files from the
    command line with non-ASCII characters are not used correctly.  Recode the
    file names when 'encoding' is set, using the Unicode command line.

    Win32 console: When the default for 'encoding' ends up to be "latin1", the
    default value of 'isprint' was wrong.

    When an error message is given while waiting for a character (e.g., when an
    xterm reports the number of colors), the hit-enter prompt overwrote the last
    line.  Don't reset msg_didout in normal_cmd() for K_IGNORE.

    Mac GUI: Shift-Tab didn't work.

    When defining tooltip text, don't translate terminal codes, since it's not
    going to be used like a command.

    GTK 2: Check the tooltip text for valid utf-8 characters to avoid getting a
    GTK error.  Invalid characters may appear when 'encoding' is changed.

    GTK 2: Add a safety check for invalid utf-8 sequences, they can crash pango.

    Win32: When 'encoding' is changed while starting up, use the Unicode command
    line to convert the file arguments to 'encoding'.  Both for the GUI and the
    console version.

    Win32 GUI: latin9 text (iso-8859-15) was not displayed correctly, because
    there is no codepage for latin9.  Do our own conversion from latin9 to UCS2.

    When two versions of GTK+ 2 are installed it was possible to use the header
    files from one and the library from the other.  Use GTK_LIBDIR to put the
    directory for the library early in the link flags.

    With the GUI find/replace dialog a replace only worked if the pattern was
    literal text.  Now it works for any pattern.

    When 'equalalways' is set and 'eadirection' is "hor", ":quit" would still
    cause equalizing window heights in the vertical direction.

    When ":emenu" is used in a startup script the command was put in the typeahead
    buffer, causing a prompt for the crypt key to be messed up.

    Mac OS/X: The default for 'isprint' included characters 128-160, causes
    problems for Terminal.app.

    When a syntax item with "containedin" is used, it may match in the start or
    end of a region with a matchgroup, while this doesn't happen for a "contains"
    argument.

    When a transparent syntax items matches in another item where the highlighting
    has already stopped (because of a he= argument), the highlighting would come
    back.

    When cscope is used to set the quickfix error list, it didn't get set if there
    was only one match. (Sergey Khorev)

    When 'confirm' is set and using ":bdel" in a modified buffer, then selecting
    "cancel", would still give an error message.

    The PopUp menu items that started Visual mode didn't work when not in Normal
    mode.  Switching between selecting a word and a line was not possible.

    Win32: The keypad decimal point always resulted in a '.', while on some
    keyboards it's a ','.  Use MapVirtualKey(VK_DECIMAL, 2).

    Removed unused function DisplayCompStringOpaque() from gui_w32.c

    In Visual mode there is not always an indication whether the line break is
    selected or not.  Highlight the character after the line when the line break
    is included, e.g., after "v$o".

    GTK: The <F10> key can't be mapped, it selects the menu.  Disable that with a
    GTK setting and do select the menu when <F10> isn't mapped. (David Necas)

    After "Y" '[ and '] were not at start/end of the yanked text.

    When a telnet connection is dropped Vim preserves files and exits.  While
    doing that a SIGHUP may arrive and disturbe us, thus ignore it. (Scott
    Anderson)  Also postpone SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM until it's safe to
    handle.  Added handle_signal().

    When completing a file name on the command line backslashes are required for
    white space.  Was only done for a space, not for a Tab.

    When configure could not find a terminal library, compiling continued for a
    long time before reporting the problem.  Added a configure check for tgetent()
    being found in a library.

    When the cursor is on the first char of the last line a ":g/pat/s///" command
    may cause the cursor to be displayed below the text.

    Win32: Editing a file with non-ASCII characters doesn't work when 'encoding'
    is "utf-8".  use _wfullpath() instead of _fullpath(). (Yu-sung Moon)

    When recovering the 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' were taken from the
    original file instead of from the swapfile.  When the file didn't exist, was
    empty or the option was changed (e.g., with ":e ++fenc=cp123 file") it could
    be wrong.  Now store 'fileformat' and 'fileencoding' in the swapfile and use
    the values when recovering.

    ":bufdo g/something/p" overwrites each last printed text line with the file
    message for the next buffer.  Temporarily clear 'shortmess' to avoid that.

    Win32: Cannot edit a file starting with # with --remote.  Do escape % and #
    when building the ":drop" command.

    A comment or | just after a expresion-backtick argument was not recognized.
    E.g. in :e `="foo"`"comment.

    "(" does not stop at an empty sentence (single dot and white space) while ")"
    does.  Also breaks "das" on that dot.

    When doing "yy" with the cursor on a TAB the ruler could be wrong and "k"
    moved the cursor to another column.

    When 'commentstring' is '"'%s' and there is a double quote in the line a double
    quote before the fold marker isn't removed in the text displayed for a  closed
    fold.

    In Visual mode, when 'bin' and 'eol' set, g CTRL-G counted the last line
    break, resulting in "selected 202 of 201 bytes".

    Motif: fonts were not used for dialog components. (Marcin Dalecki)

    Motif: After using a toolbar button the keyboard focus would be on the toolbar
    (Lesstif problem). (Marcin Dalecki)

    When using "y<C-V>`x" where mark x is in the first column, the last line was
    not included.

    Not all test scripts work properly on MS-Windows when checked out from CVS.
    Use a Vim command to fix all fileformats to dos before executing the tests.

    When using ":new" and the file fits in the window, lines could still be above
    the window.  Now remove empty lines instead of keeping the relative position.

    Cmdline completion didn't work after ":let var1 var<Tab>".

    When using ":startinsert" or ":startreplace" when already in Insert mode
    (possible when using CTRL-R =), pressing Esc would directly restart Insert
    mode. (Peter Winters)

    "2daw" didn't work at end of file if the last word is a single character.

    Completion for ":next a'<Tab>" put a backslash before single quote, but it was
    not removed when editing a file.  Now halve backslashes in save_patterns().
    Also fix expanding a file name with the shell that contains "\'"'.

    When doing "1,6d|put" only "fewer lines" was reported.  Now a following "more
    lines" overwrites the message.

    Configure could not handle "-Dfoo=long\ long" in the TCL config output.

    When searching backwards, using a pattern that matches a newline and uses \zs
    after that, didn't find a match.  Could also get a hang or end up in the right
    column in the wrong line.

    When $LANG is "sl" for slovenian, the slovak menu was used, since "slovak"
    starts with "sl".

    When 'paste' is set in the GUI the Paste toolbar button doesn't work.  Clear
    'paste' when starting the GUI.

    A message about a wrong viminfo line included the trailing NL.

    When 'paste' is set in the GUI the toolbar button doesn't work in Insert mode.
    Use ":exe" in menu.vim to avoid duplicating the commands, instead of using a
    mapping.

    Treat "mlterm" as an xterm-like terminal. (Seiichi Sato)

    ":z.4" and ":z=4" didn't work Vi compatible.

    When sourcing a file, editing it and sourcing it again, it could appear twice
    in ":scriptnames" and get a new <SID>, because the inode has changed.

    When $SHELL is set but empty the 'shell' option would be empty.  Don't use an
    empty $SHELL value.

    A command "w! file" in .vimrc or $EXINIT didn't work.  Now it writes an empty
    file.

    When a CTRL-F command at the end of the file failed, the cursor was still
    moved to the start of the line.  Now it remains where it is.

    When using ":s" or "&" to repeat the last substitute and "$" was used to put
    the cursor in the last column, put the cursor in the last column again.  This
    is Vi compatible.

    Vim is not fully POSIX compliant but sticks with traditional Vi behavior.
    Added a few flags in 'cpoptions' to behave the POSIX way when wanted.  The
    $VIM_POSIX environment variable is checked to set the default.

    Appending to a register didn't insert a line break like Vi.  Added the '>'
    flag to 'cpoptions' for this.

    Using "I" in a line with only blanks appended to the line.  This is not Vi
    compatible.  Added the 'H' flag in 'coptions' for this.

    When joining multiple lines the cursor would be at the last joint, but Vi
    leaves it at the position where "J" would put it.  Added the 'q' flag in
    'cpoptions' for this.

    Autoindent didn't work for ":insert" and ":append".

    Using ":append" in an empty buffer kept the dummy line.  Now it's deleted to
    be Vi compatible.

    When reading commands from a file and stdout goes to a terminal, would still
    request the xterm version.  Vim can't read it, thus the output went to the
    shell and caused trouble there.

    When redirecting to a register with an invalid name the redirection would
    still be done (after an error message).  Now reset "redir_reg". (Yegappan
    Lakshmanan)

    It was not possible to use a NL after a backslash in Ex mode.  This is
    sometimes used to feed multiple lines to a shell command.

    When 'cmdheight' is set to 2 in .vimrc and the GUI uses the number of lines
    from the terminal we actually get 3 lines for the cmdline in gvim.

    When setting $HOME allocated memory would leak.

    Win32: bold characters may sometimes write in another character cell.  Use
    unicodepdy[] as for UTF-8. (Taro Muraoka)

    ":w fname" didn't work for files with 'buftype' set to "nofile".

    The method used to locate user commands for completion differed from when they
    are executed.  Abiguous command names were not completed properly.

    Incremental search may cause a crash when there is a custom statusline that
    indirectly invokes ":normal".

    Diff mode failed when $DIFF_OPTIONS was set in the environment.  Unset it
    before invoking "diff".

    Completion didn't work after ":argdo", ":windo" and ":bufdo".  Also for ":set
    &l:opt" and ":set &g:opt". (Peter Winters)

    When setting 'ttymouse' to "dec" in an xterm that supports the DEC mouse
    locator it doesn't work.  Now switch off the mouse before selecting another
    mouse model.

    When the CursorHold event is triggered and the commands peek for typed
    characters the typeahead buffer may be messed up, e.g., when a mouse-up event
    is received.  Avoid invoking the autocommands from the function waiting for a
    character, let it put K_CURSORHOLD in the input buffer.

    Removed the "COUNT" flag from ":argadd", to avoid ":argadd 1*" to be used like
    ":1argadd *".  Same for ":argdelete" and ":argedit".

    Avoid that $LANG is used for the menus when LC_MESSAGES is "en_US".

    Added backslashes before dashes in the vim.1 manual page to make the appear as
    real dashes. (Pierr Habouzit)

    Where "gq" left the cursor depended on the value of 'formatprg'.  Now "gq"
    always leaves the cursor at the last line of the formatted text.

    When editing a compressed file, such as "changelog.Debian.gz" file, filetype
    detection may try to check the contents of the file while it's still
    compressed.  Skip setting 'filetype' for compressed files until they have been
    decompressed.  Required for patterns that end in a "*".

    Starting with an argument "+cmd" or "-S script" causes the cursor the be moved
    to the first line.  That breaks a BufReadPost autocommand that uses g`".
    Don't move the cursor if it's somewhere past the first line.

    "gg=G" while 'modifiable' is off was uninterruptable.

    When 'encoding' is "sjis" inserting CTRL-V u d800 a few times causes a crash.
    Don't insert a DBCS character with a NUL second byte.

    In Insert mode CTRL-O <Home> didn't move the cursor.  Made "ins_at_eol" global
    and reset it in nv_home().

    Wildcard expansion failed: ":w /tmp/$$.`echo test`".  Don't put quotes around
    spaces inside backticks.

    After this sequence of commands: Y V p gv: the wrong line is selected.  Now
    let "gv" select the text that was put, since the original text is deleted.
    This should be the most useful thing to do.

    ":sleep 100u" sleeps for 100 seconds, not 100 usec as one might expect.  Give
    an error message when the argument isn't recognized.

    In gui_mch_draw_string() in gui_w32.c "unibuflen" wasn't static, resulting in
    reallocating the buffer every time. (Alexei Alexandrov)

    When using a Python "atexit" function it was not invoked when Vim exits.  Now
    call Py_Finalize() for that. (Ugo Di Girolamo)
    This breaks the thread stuff though, fixed by Ugo.

    GTK GUI: using a .vimrc with "set cmdheight=2 lines=43" and ":split" right
    after startup, the window layout is messed up. (Michael Schaap)  Added
    win_new_shellsize() call in gui_init() to fix the topframe size.

    Trick to get ...MOUSE_NM not used when there are vertical splits.  Now pass
    column -1 for the left most window and add MOUSE_COLOFF for others.  Limits
    mouse column to 10000.

    searchpair() may hang when the end pattern has "\zs" at the end.  Check that
    we find the same position again and advance one character.

    When in diff mode and making a change that causes the "changed" highlighting
    to disappear or reappear, it was still highlighted in another window.

    When a ":next" command fails because the user selects "Abort" at the ATTENTION
    prompt the argument index was advanced anyway.

    When "~" is in 'iskeyword' the "gd" doesn't work, it's used for the previous
    substitute pattern.  Put "\V" in the pattern to avoid that.

    Use of sprintf() sometimes didn't check properly for buffer overflow.  Also
    when using smsg().  Included code for snprintf() to avoid having to do size
    checks where invoking them

    ":help \=<Tab>" didn't find "sub-replace-\=".  Wild menu for help tags didn't
    show backslashes.  ":he :s\=" didn't work.

    When reading an errorfile "~/" in a file name was not expanded.

    GTK GUI: When adding a scrollbar (e.g. when using ":vsplit") in a script or
    removing it the window size may change.  GTK sends us resize events when we
    change the window size ourselves, but they may come at an unexpected moment.
    Peek for a character to get any window resize events and fix 'columns' and
    'lines' to undo this.

    When using the GTK plug mechanism, resizing and focus was not working
    properly. (Neil Bird)

    After deleting files from the argument list a session file generated with
    ":mksession" may contain invalid ":next" commands.

    When 'shortmess' is empty and 'keymap' set to accents, in Insert mode CTRL-N
    may cause the hit-enter prompt.  Typing 'a then didn't result in the accented
    character.  Put the character typed at the prompt back in the typeahead buffer
    so that mapping is done in the right mode.

    setbufvar() and setwinvar() did not give error messages.

    It was possible to set a variable with an illegal name, e.g. with setbufvar().
    It was possible to define a function with illegal name, e.t. ":func F{-1}()"

    CTRL-W F and "gf" didn't use the same method to get the file name.

    When reporting a conversion error the line number of the last error could be
    given.  Now report the first encountered error.

    When using ":e ++enc=name file" and iconv() was used for conversion an error
    caused a fall-back to no conversion.  Now replace a character with '?' and
    continue.

    When opening a new buffer the local value of 'bomb' was not initialized from
    the global value.

    Win32: When using the "Edit with Vim" entry the file name was limited to about
    200 characters.

    When using command line completion for ":e *foo" and the file "+foo" exists
    the resulting command ":e +foo" doesn't work.  Now insert a backslash: ":e
    \+foo".

    When the translation of "-- More --" was not 10 characters long the following
    message would be in the wrong position.

    At the more-prompt the last character in the last line wasn't drawn.

    When deleting non-existing text while 'virtualedit' is set the '[ and '] marks
    were not set.

    Win32: Could not use "**/" in 'path', it had to be "**\".

    The search pattern "\n" did not match at the end of the last line.

    Searching for a pattern backwards, starting on the NUL at the end of the line
    and 'encoding' is "utf-8" would match the pattern just before it incorrectly.
    Affected searchpair('/\*', '', '\*/').

    For the Find/Replace dialog it was possible that not finding the text resulted
    in an error message while redrawing, which cleared the syntax highlighting
    while it was being used, resulting in a crash.  Now don't clear syntax
    highlighting, disable it with b_syn_error.

    Win32: Combining UTF-8 characters were drawn on the previous character.
    Could be noticed with a Thai font.

    Output of ":function" could leave some of the typed text behind. (Yegappan
    Lakshmanan)

    When the command line history has only a few lines the command line window
    would be opened with these lines above the first window line.

    When using a command line window for search strings ":qa" would result in
    searching for "qa" instead of quitting all windows.

    GUI: When scrolling with the scrollbar and there is a line that doesn't fit
    redrawing may fail.  Make sure w_skipcol is valid before redrawing.

    Limit the values of 'columns' and 'lines' to avoid an overflow in Rows *
    Columns.  Fixed bad effects when running out of memory (command line would be
    reversed, ":qa!" resulted in ":!aq").

    Motif: "gvim -iconic" opened the window anyway.  (David Harrison)

    There is a tiny chance that a symlink gets created between checking for an
    existing file and creating a file.  Use the O_NOFOLLOW for open() if it's
    available.

    In an empty line "ix<CTRL-O>0" moved the cursor to after the line instead of
    sticking to the first column.

    When using ":wq" and a BufWriteCmd autocmd uses inputsecret() the text was
    echoed anyway.  Set terminal to raw mode in getcmdline().

    Unix: ":w a;b~c" caused an error in expanding wildcards.

    When appending to a file with ":w >>fname" in a buffer without a name, causing
    the buffer to use "fname", the modified flag was reset.

    When appending to to current file the "not edited" flag would be reset.
    ":w" would overwrite the file accidentally.

    Unix: When filtering text with an external command Vim would still read input,
    causing text typed for the command (e.g., a password) to be eaten and echoed.
    Don't read input when the terminal is in cooked mode.

    The Cygwin version of xxd used CR/LF line separators. (Corinna Vinschen)

    Unix: When filtering text through a shell command some resulting text may be
    dropped.  Now after detecting that the child has exited try reading some more
    of its output.

    When inside input(), using "CTRL-R =" and the expression throws an exception
    the command line was not abandoned but it wasn't used either.  Now abandon
    typing the command line.

    'delcombine' was also used in Visual and Select mode and for commands like
    "cl".  That was illogical and has been disabled.

    When recording while a CursorHold autocommand was defined special keys would
    appear in the register.  Now the CursorHold event is not triggered while
    recording.

    Unix: the src/configure script used ${srcdir-.}, not all shells understand
    that.  Use ${srcdir:-.} instead.

    When editing file "a" which is a symlink to file "b" that doesn't exist,
    writing file "a" to create "b" and then ":split b" resulted in two buffers on
    the same file with two different swapfile names.  Now set the inode in the
    buffer when creating a new file.

    When 'esckeys' is not set don't send the xterm code to request the version
    string, because it may cause trouble in Insert mode.

    When evaluating an expression for CTRL-R = on the command line it was possible
    to call a function that opens a new window, resulting in errors for
    incremental search, and many other nasty things were possible.  Now use the
    |textlock| to disallow changing the buffer or jumping to another window
    to protect from unexpected behavior.  Same for CTRL-\ e.

    "d(" deleted the character under the cursor, while the documentation specified
    an exclusive motion.  Vi also doesn't delete the character under the cursor.

    Shift-Insert in Insert mode could put the cursor before the last character
    when it just fits in the window.  In coladvance() don't stop at the window
    edge when filling with spaces and when in Insert mode.  In mswin.vim avoid
    getting a beep from the "l" command.

    Win32 GUI: When Alt-F4 is used to close the window and Cancel is selected in
    the dialog then Vim would insert <M-F4> in the text.  Now it's ignored.

    When ":silent! {cmd}" caused the swap file dialog, which isn't displayed,
    there would still be a hit-enter prompt.

    Requesting the termresponse (|t_RV|) early may cause problems with "-c"
    arguments that invoke an external command or even "-c quit".  Postpone it
    until after executing "-c" arguments.

    When typing in Insert mode so that a new line is started, using CTRL-G u to
    break undo and start a new change, then joining the lines with <BS> caused
    undo info to be missing.  Now reset the insertion start point.

    Syntax HL: When a region start match has a matchgroup and an offset that
    happens to be after the end of the line then it continued in the next line and
    stopped at the region end match, making the region continue after that.
    Now check for the column being past the end of the line in syn_add_end_off().

    When changing a file, setting 'swapfile' off and then on again, making another
    change and killing Vim, then some blocks may be missing from the swapfile.
    When 'swapfile' is switched back on mark all blocks in the swapfile as dirty.
    Added mf_set_dirty().

    Expanding wildcards in a command like ":e aap;<>!" didn't work.  Put
    backslashes before characters that are special to the shell. (Adri Verhoef)

    A CursorHold autocommand would cause a message to be cleared.  Don't show the
    special key for the event for 'showcmd'.

    When expanding a file name for a shell command, as in "!cmd foo<Tab>" or ":r
    !cmd foo<Tab>" also escape characters that are special for the shell:
    "!;&()<>".

    When the name of the buffer was set by a ":r fname" command |cpo-f| no
    autocommands were triggered to notify about the change in the buffer list.

    In the quickfix buffer 'bufhidden' was set to "delete", which caused closing
    the quickfix window to leave an unlisted "No Name" buffer behind every time.

    Win32: when using two screens of different size, setting 'lines' to a large
    value didn't fill the whole screen. (SungHyun Nam)

    Win32 installer: The generated _vimrc contained an absolute path to diff.exe.
    After upgrading it becomes invalid.  Now use $VIMRUNTIME instead.

    The command line was cleared to often when 'showmode' was set and ":silent
    normal vy" was used.  Don't clear the command line unless the mode was
    actually displayed.  Added the "mode_displayed" variable.

    The "load session" toolbar item could not handle a space or other special
    characters in v:this_session.

    ":set sta ts=8 sw=4 sts=2" deleted 4 spaces halfway a line instead of 2.

    In a multi-byte file the foldmarker could be recognized in the trail byte.
    (Taro Muraoka)

    Pasting with CTRL-V and menu didn't work properly when some commands are
    mapped.  Use ":normal!" instead of ":normal". (Tony Apuzzo)

    Crashed when expanding a file name argument in backticks.

    In some situations the menu and scrollbar didn't work, when the value contains
    a CSI byte. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)

    GTK GUI: When drawing the balloon focus changes and we might get a key release
    event that removed the balloon again.  Ignore the key release event.

    'titleold' was included in ":mkexrc" and ":mksession" files.

    ":set background&" didn't use the same logic as was used when starting up.

    When "umask" is set such that nothing is writable then the viminfo file would
    be written without write permission. (Julian Bridle)

    Motif: In diff mode dragging one scrollbar didn't update the scrollbar of the
    other diff'ed window.

    When editing in an xterm with a different number of colors than expected the
    screen would be cleared and redrawn, causing the message about the edited file
    to be cleared.  Now set "keep_msg" to redraw the last message.

    For a color terminal: When the Normal HL uses bold, possibly to make the color
    lighter, and another HL group specifies a color it might become light as well.
    Now reset bold if a HL group doesn't specify bold itself.

    When using 256 color xterm the color 255 would show up as color 0.  Use a
    short instead of a char to store the color number.

    ml_get errors when searching for "\n\zs" in an empty file.

    When selecting a block and using "$" to select until the end of every line and
    not highlighting the character under the cursor the first character of the
    block could be unhighlighted.

    When counting words for the Visual block area and using "$" to select until
    the end of every line only up to the length of the last line was counted.

    "dip" in trailing empty lines left one empty line behind.

    The script ID was only remembered globally for each option. When a buffer- or
    window-local option was set the same "last set" location was changed for all
    buffers and windows.  Now remember the script ID for each local option
    separately.

    GUI: The "Replace All" button didn't handle backslashes in the replacement in
    the same way as "Replace".  Escape backslashes so that they are taken
    literally.

    When using Select mode from Insert mode and typing a key, causing lines to be
    deleted and a message displayed, delayed the effect of inserting the key.
    Now overwrite the message without delay.

    When 'whichwrap' includes "l" then "dl" and "yl" on a single letter line
    worked differently.  Now recognize all operators when using "l" at the end of
    a line.

    GTK GUI: when the font selector returned a font name with a comma in it then
    it would be handled like two font names.  Now put a backslash before the
    comma.

    MS-DOS, Win32: When 'encoding' defaults to "latin1" then the value for
    'iskeyword' was still for CPxxx.  And when 'nocompatible' was set 'isprint'
    would also be the wrong value.

    When a command was defined not to take arguments and no '|' no warning message
    would be given for using a '|'.  Also with ":loadkeymap".

    Motif: When using a fontset and 'encoding' is "utf-8" and sizeof(wchar_t) !=
    sizeof(XChar2b) then display was wrong. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)

    ":all" always set the current window to the first window, even when it
    contains a buffer that is not in the argument list (can't be closed because it
    is modified).  Now go to the window that has the first item of the argument
    list.

    GUI: To avoid left-over pixels from bold text all characters after a character
    with special attributes were redrawn.  Now only do this for characters that
    actually are bold.  Speeds up displaying considerably.

    When only highlighting changes and the text is scrolled at the same time
    everything is redraw instead of using a scroll and updating the changed text.
    E.g., when using ":match" to highlight a paren that the cursor landed on.
    Added SOME_VALID: Redraw the whole window but also try to scroll to minimize
    redrawing.

    Win32: When using Korean IME making it active didn't work properly. (Moon,
    Yu-sung, 2005 March 21)

    Ruby interface: when inserting/deleting lines display wasn't updated. (Ryan
    Paul)
