This is a maintenance release, focused on bug fixes and improvements. However, There are included features related to TUI and :terminal. BRAM Nvim is a fork of the Vim editor, created and developed by Bram Moolenaar. On August 3, 2023, he passed away at the age of 62. If Vim or Nvim have been of use to you in your life, read `:help Bram` and `:help Uganda` and consider honoring his memory in a way you see fit. CHANGES SINCE 0.9.1 BREAKING CHANGES An adjustment was made to the `grid_line` event as part of the exernal UI protocol the `cells` array might now end with a `[' ', attr, 0]` item with a repeat count of zero. This is needed by the TUI to disambiguate final spaces on a line from just clearing the line, which will make a difference when copying text using the terminal emulators builtin primary selection support. External UI:s can safely ignore such an empty item and most UIs already handle this fine. But it could break some UI:s which has an assert to validate the cell count to be bigger than zero, or similar checks. FEATURES - tui: Support Super and Meta modifiers - terminal: forward more special keys and modifier-mouse combinations BUG FIXES - lua: Always set arg0 to lua scripts - api: Redundant error when using `nvim_cmd` - api, lua: Make blank lines in a message work properly - column: fix bugs related to signs in 'statuscol' - completion: Don't add backslash in runtime completion - diff: Filler lines for hunks bigger than linematch limit - edit: Fix K_EVENT interfering with 'digraph' - editorconfig: Better validation and error handling - events: Don't expand non-file as file name - events: Trigger VimResume on next UI request - extmarks: Wrong display when changing text with virt_lines - folds: Update folds in Insert mode with fdm=indent - helptags: Make multibyte help tags work properly - highlight: Make CurSearch work properly with 'winhl' - inccommand: Fix saving of undo info - keycodes: Recognize <t_xx> as a key - lsp: Do not assume client capability exists in watchfiles check (#24558) - mouse: Handle folded lines with virt_lines attached to line above - remote: Make --remote-expr print to stdout - remote: Restore previous --remote-expr output formatting - spell: Splice extmarks on :spellrepall - startup: Don't truncate when printing with -l - startup: Run embedded Nvim with real path - statusline: Redraw when Visual submode changes - statusline: Fill for double-width char after moving items - treesitter: updates to queries and injections - treesitter: Fix TSNode:tree() double free - ui: Propagate line wrapping state on grid_line events - ui: Avoid ambiguity about chunk that clears part of line PERFORMANCE - extmarks: Avoid unnecessary marktree traversal with folds - substitute: Don't reallocate new_start every time BUILD SYSTEM - deps: Bump libvterm to 0.3.3 - deps: Bump LuaJIT to HEAD - 03c31124c - deps: Bump libuv to v1.46.0 - deps: Bump Luv to 1.45.0-0 - deps: Bump tree-sitter-c to v0.20.5 - deps: Bump tree-sitter-lua to v0.0.18 |

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.
Transitioning from Vim
See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
