MacVim r184

[ychin]

Updated to Vim 9.2.1252

This release mostly brings the Vim version up to date.

Announcements

Moving macOS 10.13 - 11.0 support to legacy release

The next binary release of MacVim will require macOS 12.0 Monterey or above for the normal version. Users of macOS 10.13 - 11.0 will need to use the legacy version instead. If you are updating MacVim via the builtin updater, this should work automatically. For the most part this should be a transparent change for those users, except for an older updater (Sparkle 1).

Note that the last MacVim release made a similar announcement but we never ended up bumping the min requirement.

General

• Sparkle (updater for MacVim) is now updated to 2.9.6. Sparkle 2.9.6 #1702

New Vim Features

• Modeline now defaults to a limited subset of whitelisted options (:h 'modelinestrict'). v9.2.0350
  • Note: This change is slightly backwards incompatible. If you want to open files with modelines using non-whistlisted options, you will need to turn it off by adding :set nomodelinestrict to your vimrc.
• Popup images (:h popup-image). This works in terminals that support displaying images. MacVim will support this in a later version. v9.2.0612
• new bundled color scheme:
  • novum, port of Neovim's dev_theme (update colorschemes vim/vim#20723)
• Clickable regions in the statusline, tabline and tabpanel with the new %[FuncName] item.
• Misc tab panel and tab line improvements.
• Fixes the stray "pp" that shows up when opening Vim in terminal. v9.2.0389
• Misc performance improvements and security fixes.
• Other platforms (these don't affect MacVim and included for reference only):
  • Support for GTK 4 on Linux. v9.2.0501
