- ! operator - = operator implemented in terms of fmt(1) - better support for Unicode combining characters - ga displays the Unicode code point(s) at the cursor position - gv restores last selection - gp and gP - better cursor creation across line boundaries (<C-j>, <C-k>) - fixed bogus warnings about file changes outside the editor - :help command - :set colorcolumn and :set cursorline - improvements to repetition command (i.e. dot .) - new text objects ae, ie, af, if, al, il - new motions [[, [], ][, ]] - lots of cleanups, exposing core editor API (see vis.h) - make standalone target to build a self contained statically linked binary - new input handling based on libtermkey supporting key aliases - Lua LPeg based syntax highlighting using definitions from scintillua The last two items introduce dependencies on libtermkey (for input handling) and Lua (>= 5.1) + LPeg for Parsing Expression Grammar based syntax highlighting. Some of you might not like them, but in my opinion they are the least sucking solutions I could come up with ... Cheers, Marc -- Marc André Tanner >< http://www.brain-dump.org/ >< GPG key: 10C93617
