+==============================================================================
+INCOMPATIBLE *incompatible-5*
+
+Default value for 'compatible' changed *cp-default*
+--------------------------------------
+
+Vim version 5.0 tries to be more Vi compatible. This helps people who use Vim
+as a drop-in replacement for Vi, but causes some things to be incompatible
+with version 4.x.
+
+In version 4.x the default value for the 'compatible' option was off. Now the
+default is on. The first thing you will notice is that the "u" command undoes
+itself. Other side effects will be that mappings may work differently or not
+work at all.
+
+Since a lot of people switching from Vim 4.x to 5.0 will find this annoying,
+the 'compatible' option is switched off if Vim finds a vimrc file. This is a
+bit of magic to make sure that 90% of the Vim users will not be bitten by
+this change.
+
+What does this mean?
+- If you prefer to run in 'compatible' mode and don't have a vimrc file, you
+ don't have to do anything.
+- If you prefer to run in 'nocompatible' mode and do have a vimrc file, you
+ don't have to do anything.
+- If you prefer to run in 'compatible' mode and do have a vimrc file, you
+ should put this line first in your vimrc file: >
+ :set compatible
+- If you prefer to run in 'nocompatible' mode and don't have a vimrc file,
+ you can do one of the following:
+ - Create an empty vimrc file (e.g.: "~/.vimrc" for Unix).
+ - Put this command in your .exrc file or $EXINIT: >
+ :set nocompatible
+< - Start Vim with the "-N" argument.
+
+If you are new to Vi and Vim, using 'nocompatible' is strongly recommended,
+because Vi has a lot of unexpected side effects, which are avoided by this
+setting. See 'compatible'.
+
+If you like some things from 'compatible' and some not, you can tune the
+compatibility with 'cpoptions'.
+
+When you invoke Vim as "ex" or "gex", Vim always starts in compatible mode.
+
+
+Text formatting command "Q" changed *Q-command-changed*
+-----------------------------------
+
+The "Q" command formerly formatted lines to the width the 'textwidth' option
+specifies. The command for this is now "gq" (see |gq| for more info). The
+reason for this change is that "Q" is the standard Vi command to enter "Ex"
+mode, and Vim now does in fact have an "Ex" mode (see |Q| for more info).
+
+If you still want to use "Q" for formatting, use this mapping: >
+ :noremap Q gq
+And if you also want to use the functionality of "Q": >
+ :noremap gQ Q
+
+
+Command-line arguments changed *cmdline-changed*
+------------------------------
+
+Command-line file-arguments and option-arguments can now be mixed. You can
+give options after the file names. Example: >
+ vim main.c -g
+
+This is not possible when editing a file that starts with a '-'. Use the "--"
+argument then |---|: >
+ vim -g -- -main.c
+
+"-v" now means to start Ex in Vi mode, use "-R" for read-only mode.
+old: "vim -v file" |-v|
+new: "vim -R file" |-R|
+
+"-e" now means to start Vi in Ex mode, use "-q" for quickfix.
+old: "vim -e errorfile" |-e|
+new: "vim -q errorfile" |-q|
+
+"-s" in Ex mode now means to run in silent (batch) mode. |-s-ex|
+
+"-x" reserved for crypt, use "-f" to avoid starting a new CLI (Amiga).
+old: "vim -x file" |-x|
+new: "vim -f file" |-f|
+
+Vim allows up to ten "+cmd" and "-c cmd" arguments. Previously Vim executed
+only the last one.
+
+"-n" now overrides any setting for 'updatecount' in a vimrc file, but not in
+a gvimrc file.
+
+
+Autocommands are kept *autocmds-kept*
+---------------------
+
+Before version 5.0, autocommands with the same event, file name pattern, and
+command could appear only once. This was fine for simple autocommands (like
+setting option values), but for more complicated autocommands, where the same
+command might appear twice, this restriction caused problems. Therefore
+Vim stores all autocommands and keeps them in the order that they are defined.
+
+The most obvious side effect of this change is that when you source a vimrc
+file twice, the autocommands in it will be defined twice. To avoid this, do
+one of these:
+
+- Remove any autocommands that might already be defined before defining
+ them. Example: >
+ :au! * *.ext
+ :au BufEnter *.ext ...
+
+- Put the autocommands inside an ":if" command. Example: >
+ if !exists("did_ext_autocmds")
+ let did_ext_autocmds = 1
+ autocmd BufEnter *.ext ...
+ endif
+
+- Put your autocommands in a different autocommand group so you can remove
+ them before defining them |:augroup|: >
+ augroup uncompress
+ au!
+ au BufReadPost *.gz ...
+ augroup END
+
+
+Use of 'hidden' changed *hidden-changed*
+-----------------------
+
+In version 4.x, only some commands used the 'hidden' option. Now all commands
+uses it whenever a buffer disappears from a window.
+
+Previously you could do ":buf xxx" in a changed buffer and that buffer would
+then become hidden. Now you must set the 'hidden' option for this to work.
+
+The new behavior is simpler: whether Vim hides buffers no longer depends on
+the specific command that you use.
+- with 'hidden' not set, you never get hidden buffers. Exceptions are the
+ ":hide" and ":close!" commands and, in rare cases, where you would otherwise
+ lose changes to the buffer.
+- With 'hidden' set, you almost never unload a buffer. Exceptions are the
+ ":bunload" or ":bdel" commands.
+
+":buffer" now supports a "!": abandon changes in current buffer. So do
+":bnext", ":brewind", etc.
+
+
+Text object commands changed *text-objects-changed*
+----------------------------
+
+Text object commands have new names. This allows more text objects and makes
+characters available for other Visual mode commands. Since no more single
+characters were available, text objects names now require two characters.
+The first one is always 'i' or 'a'.
+ OLD NEW ~
+ a aw a word |v_aw|
+ A aW a WORD |v_aW|
+ s as a sentence |v_as|
+ p ap a paragraph |v_ap|
+ S ab a () block |v_ab|
+ P aB a {} block |v_aB|
+
+There is another set of text objects that starts with "i", for "inner". These
+select the same objects, but exclude white space.
+
+
+X-Windows Resources removed *x-resources*
+--------------------------
+
+Vim no longer supports the following X resources:
+- boldColor
+- italicColor
+- underlineColor
+- cursorColor
+
+Vim now uses highlight groups to set colors. This avoids the confusion of
+using a bold Font, which would imply a certain color. See |:highlight| and
+|gui-resources|.
+
+
+Use of $VIM *$VIM-use*
+-----------
+
+Vim now uses the VIM environment variable to find all Vim system files. This
+includes the global vimrc, gvimrc, and menu.vim files and all on-line help
+and syntax files. See |$VIM|. Starting with version 5.4, |$VIMRUNTIME| can
+also be used.
+For Unix, Vim sets a default value for $VIM when doing "make install".
+When $VIM is not set, its default value is the directory from 'helpfile',
+excluding "/doc/help.txt".
+
+
+Use of $HOME for MS-DOS and Win32 *$HOME-use*
+---------------------------------
+
+The MS-DOS and Win32 versions of Vim now first check $HOME when searching for
+a vimrc or exrc file and for reading/storing the viminfo file. Previously Vim
+used $VIM for these systems, but this causes trouble on a system with several
+users. Now Vim uses $VIM only when $HOME is not set or the file is not found
+in $HOME. See |_vimrc|.
+
+
+Tags file format changed *tags-file-changed*
+------------------------
+
+Only tabs are allowed to separate fields in a tags file. This allows for
+spaces in a file name and is still Vi compatible. In previous versions of
+Vim, any white space was allowed to separate the fields. If you have a file
+which doesn't use a single tab between fields, edit the tags file and execute
+this command: >
+ :%s/\(\S*\)\s\+\(\S*\)\s\+\(.*\)/\1\t\2\t\3/
+
+
+Options changed *options-changed*
+---------------
+
+The default value of 'errorfile' has changed from "errors.vim" to "errors.err".
+The reason is that only Vim scripts should have the ".vim" extensions.
+
+The ":make" command no longer uses the 'errorfile' option. This prevents the
+output of the ":make" command from overwriting a manually saved error file.
+":make" uses the 'makeef' option instead. This also allows for generating a
+unique name, to prevent concurrently running ":make" commands from overwriting
+each other's files.
+
+With 'insertmode' set, a few more things change:
+- <Esc> in Normal mode goes to Insert mode.
+- <Esc> in Insert mode doesn't leave Insert mode.
+- When doing ":set im", go to Insert mode immediately.
+
+Vim considers a buffer to be changed when the 'fileformat' (formerly the
+'textmode' option) is different from the buffer's initial format.
+
+
+CTRL-B in Insert mode gone *i_CTRL-B-gone*
+--------------------------
+
+When Vim was compiled with the |+rightleft| feature, you could use CTRL-B to
+toggle the 'revins' option. Unfortunately, some people hit the 'B' key
+accidentally when trying to type CTRL-V or CTRL-N and then didn't know how to
+undo this. Since toggling the 'revins' option can easily be done with the
+mapping below, this use of the CTRL-B key is disabled. You can still use the
+CTRL-_ key for this |i_CTRL-_|. >
+ :imap <C-B> <C-O>:set revins!<CR>
+
+==============================================================================
+NEW FEATURES *new-5*
+
+Syntax highlighting *new-highlighting*
+-------------------
+
+Vim now has a very flexible way to highlighting just about any type of file.
+See |syntax|. Summary: >
+ :syntax on
+
+Colors and attributes can be set for the syntax highlighting, and also for
+other highlighted items with the ':' flag in the 'highlight' option. All
+highlighted items are assigned a highlight group which specifies their
+highlighting. See |:highlight|. The default colors have been improved.
+
+You can use the "Normal" group to set the default fore/background colors for a
+color terminal. For the GUI, you can use this group to specify the font, too.
+
+The "2html.vim" script can be used to convert any file that has syntax
+highlighting to HTML. The colors will be exactly the same as how you see them
+in Vim. With a HTML viewer you can also print the file with colors.
+
+
+Built-in script language *new-script*
+------------------------
+
+A few extra commands and an expression evaluator enable you to write simple
+but powerful scripts. Commands include ":if" and ":while". Expressions can
+manipulate numbers and strings. You can use the '=' register to insert
+directly the result of an expression. See |expression|.
+
+
+Perl and Python support *new-perl-python*
+-----------------------
+
+Vim can call Perl commands with ":perldo", ":perl", etc. See |perl|.
+Patches made by Sven Verdoolaege and Matt Gerassimoff.
+
+Vim can call Python commands with ":python" and ":pyfile". See |python|.
+
+Both of these are only available when enabled at compile time.
+
+
+Win32 GUI version *added-win32-GUI*
+-----------------
+
+The GUI has been ported to MS-Windows 95 and NT. All the features of the X11
+GUI are available to Windows users now. |gui-w32|
+This also fixes problems with running the Win32 console version under Windows
+95, where console support has always been bad.
+There is also a version that supports OLE automation interface. |if_ole.txt|
+Vim can be integrated with Microsoft Developer Studio using the VisVim DLL.
+It is possible to produce a DLL version of gvim with Borland C++ (Aaron).
+
+
+VMS version *added-VMS*
+-----------
+
+Vim can now also be used on VMS systems. Port done by Henk Elbers.
+This has not been tested much, but it should work.
+Sorry, no documentation!
+
+
+BeOS version *added-BeOS*
+------------
+
+Vim can be used on BeOS systems (including the BeBox). (Olaf Seibert)
+See |os_beos.txt|.
+
+
+Macintosh GUI version *added-Mac*
+---------------------
+
+Vim can now be used on the Macintosh. (Dany St-Amant)
+It has not been tested much yet, be careful!
+See |os_mac.txt|.
+
+
+More Vi compatible *more-compatible*
+------------------
+
+There is now a real Ex mode. Started with the "Q" command, or by calling the
+executable "ex" or "gex". |Ex-mode|
+
+Always allow multi-level undo, also in Vi compatible mode. When the 'u' flag
+in 'cpoptions' is included, CTRL-R is used for repeating the undo or redo
+(like "." in Nvi).
+
+
+Read input from stdin *read-stdin*
+---------------------
+
+When using the "-" command-line argument, Vim reads its text input from stdin.
+This can be used for putting Vim at the end of a pipe: >
+ grep "^a.*" *.c | vim -
+See |--|.
+
+
+Regular expression patterns *added-regexp*
+---------------------------
+
+Added specifying a range for the number of matches of an atom: "\{a,b}". |/\{|
+Added the "shortest match" regexp "\{-}" (Webb).
+Added "\s", matches a white character. Can replace "[ \t]". |/\s|
+Added "\S", matches a non-white character. Can replace "[^ \t]". |/\S|
+
+
+Overloaded tags *tag-overloaded*
+---------------
+
+When using a language like C++, there can be several tags for the same
+tagname. Commands have been added to be able to jump to any of these
+overloaded tags:
+|:tselect| List matching tags, and jump to one of them.
+|:stselect| Idem, and split window.
+|g_CTRL-]| Do ":tselect" with the word under the cursor.
+
+ After ":ta {tagname}" with multiple matches:
+|:tnext| Go to next matching tag.
+|:tprevious| Go to previous matching tag.
+|:trewind| Go to first matching tag.
+|:tlast| Go to last matching tag.
+
+The ":tag" command now also accepts wildcards. When doing command-line
+completion on tags, case-insensitive matching is also available (at the end).
+
+
+New commands *new-commands*
+------------
+
+|:amenu| Define menus for all modes, inserting a CTRL-O for Insert
+ mode, ESC for Visual and CTRL-C for Cmdline mode. "amenu" is
+ used for the default menus and the Syntax menu.
+
+|:augroup| Set group to be used for following autocommands. Allows the
+ grouping of autocommands to enable deletion of a specific
+ group.
+
+|:crewind| Go to first error.
+|:clast| Go to last error.
+
+|:doautoall| Execute autocommands for all loaded buffers.
+
+|:echo| Echo its argument, which is an expression. Can be used to
+ display messages which include variables.
+
+|:execute| Execute its argument, which is an expression. Can be used to
+ built up an Ex command with anything.
+
+|:hide| Works like ":close".
+
+|:if| Conditional execution, for built-in script language.
+
+|:intro| Show introductory message. This is always executed when Vim
+ is started without file arguments.
+
+|:let| Assign a value to an internal variable.
+
+|:omap| Map only in operator-pending mode. Makes it possible to map
+ text-object commands.
+
+|:redir| Redirect output of messages to a file.
+
+|:update| Write when buffer has changed.
+
+|:while| While-loop for built-in script language.
+
+Visual mode:
+|v_O| "O" in Visual block mode, moves the cursor to the other corner
+ horizontally.
+|v_D| "D" in Visual block mode deletes till end of line.
+
+Insert mode:
+|i_CTRL-]| Triggers abbreviation, without inserting any character.
+
+
+New options *added-options*
+-----------
+
+'background' Used for selecting highlight color defaults. Also used in
+ "syntax.vim" for selecting the syntax colors. Often set
+ automatically, depending on the terminal used.
+
+'complete' Specifies how Insert mode completion works.
+
+'eventignore' Makes it possible to ignore autocommands temporarily.
+
+'fileformat' Current file format. Replaces 'textmode'.
+'fileformats' Possible file formats. Replaces 'textauto'.
+ New is that this also supports Macintosh format: A single <CR>
+ separates lines.
+ The default for 'fileformats' for MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2 is
+ "dos,unix", also when 'compatible' set. Unix type files
+ didn't work anyway when 'fileformats' was empty.
+
+'guicursor' Set the cursor shape and blinking in various modes.
+ Default is to adjust the cursor for Insert and Replace mode,
+ and when an operator is pending. Blinking is default on.
+
+'fkmap' Farsi key mapping.
+
+'hlsearch' Highlight all matches with the last used search pattern.
+
+'hkmapp' Phonetic Hebrew mapping. (Ilya Dogolazky)
+
+'iconstring' Define the name of the icon, when not empty. (Version 5.2: the
+ string is used literally, a newline can be used to make two
+ lines.)
+
+'lazyredraw' Don't redraw the screen while executing macros, registers or
+ other not typed commands.
+
+'makeef' Errorfile to be used for ":make". "##" is replaced with a
+ unique number. Avoids that two Vim sessions overwrite each
+ others errorfile. The Unix default is "/tmp/vim##.err"; for
+ Amiga "t:vim##.Err, for others "vim##.err".
+
+'matchtime' 1/10s of a second to show a matching paren, when 'showmatch'
+ is set. Like Nvi.
+
+'mousehide' Hide mouse pointer in GUI when typing text.
+
+'nrformats' Defines what bases Vim will consider for numbers when using
+ the CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands. Default: "hex,octal".
+
+'shellxquote' Add extra quotes around the whole shell command, including
+ redirection.
+
+'softtabstop' Make typing behave like tabstop is set at this value, without
+ changing the value of 'tabstop'. Makes it more easy to keep
+ 'ts' at 8, while still getting four spaces for a <Tab>.
+
+'titlestring' String for the window title, when not empty. (Version 5.2:
+ this string is used literally, a newline can be used to make
+ two lines.)
+
+'verbose' Level of verbosity. Makes it possible to show which .vimrc,
+ .exrc, .viminfo files etc. are used for initializing. Also
+ to show autocommands that are being executed. Can also be set
+ by using the "-V" command-line argument.
+
+
+New command-line arguments *added-cmdline-args*
+--------------------------
+
+|-U| Set the gvimrc file to be used. Like "-u" for the vimrc.
+
+|-V| Set the 'verbose' option. E.g. "vim -V10".
+
+|-N| Start in non-compatible mode.
+
+|-C| Start in compatible mode.
+
+|-Z| Start in restricted mode, disallow shell commands. Can also
+ be done by calling the executable "rvim".
+
+|-h| Show usage information and exit.
+
+
+Various additions *added-various*
+-----------------
+
+Added support for SNiFF+ connection (submitted by Toni Leherbauer). Vim can
+be used as an editor for SNiFF. No documentation available...
+
+For producing a bug report, the bugreport.vim script has been included.
+Can be used with ":so $VIMRUNTIME/bugreport.vim", which creates the file
+"bugreport.txt" in the current directory. |bugs|
+
+Added range to ":normal" command. Now you can repeat the same command for
+each line in the range. |:normal-range|
+
+Included support for the Farsi language (Shiran). Only when enabled at
+compile time. See |farsi|.
+
+==============================================================================
+IMPROVEMENTS *improvements-5*
+
+Performance:
+- When 'showcmd' was set, mappings would execute much more slowly because the
+ output would be flushed very often. Helps a lot when executing the "life"
+ macros with 'showcmd' set.
+- Included patches for binary searching in tags file (David O'Neill).
+ Can be disabled by resetting the 'tagbsearch' option.
+- Don't update the ruler when repeating insert (slowed it down a lot).
+- For Unix, file name expansion is now done internally instead of starting a
+ shell for it.
+- Expand environment variables with expand_env(), instead of calling the
+ shell. Makes ":so $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/syntax.vim" a LOT faster.
+- Reduced output for cursor positioning: Use CR-LF for moving to first few
+ columns in next few lines; Don't output CR twice when using termios.
+- Optimized cursor positioning. Use CR, BS and NL when it's shorter than
+ absolute cursor positioning.
+- Disable redrawing while repeating insert "1000ii<Esc>".
+- Made "d$" or "D" for long lines a lot faster (delete all characters at once,
+ instead of one by one).
+- Access option table by first letter, instead of searching from start.
+- Made setting special highlighting attributes a lot faster by using
+ highlight_attr[], instead of searching in the 'highlight' string.
+- Don't show the mode when redrawing is disabled.
+- When setting an option, only redraw the screen when required.
+- Improved performance of Ex commands by using a lookup table for the first
+ character.
+
+Options:
+'cinoptions' Added 'g' flag, for C++ scope declarations.
+'cpoptions' Added 'E' flag: Disallow yanking, deleting, etc. empty text
+ area. Default is to allow empty yanks. When 'E' is included,
+ "y$" in an empty line now is handled as an error (Vi
+ compatible).
+ Added 'j' flag: Only add two spaces for a join after a '.',
+ not after a '?' or '!'.
+ Added 'A' flag: don't give ATTENTION message.
+ Added 'L' flag: When not included, and 'list' is set,
+ 'textwidth' formatting works like 'list' is not set.
+ Added 'W' flag: Let ":w!" behave like Vi: don't overwrite
+ readonly files, or a file owned by someone else.
+'highlight' Added '@' flag, for '@' characters after the last line on the
+ screen, and '$' at the end of the line when 'list' is set.
+ Added 'i' flag: Set highlighting for 'incsearch'. Default
+ uses "IncSearch" highlight group, which is linked to "Visual".
+ Disallow 'h' flag in 'highlight' (wasn't used anymore since
+ 3.0).
+'guifont' Win32 GUI only: When set to "*" brings up a font requester.
+'guipty' Default on, because so many people need it.
+'path' Can contain wildcards, and "**" for searching a whole tree.
+'shortmess' Added 'I' flag to avoid the intro message.
+'viminfo' Added '%' flag: Store buffer list in viminfo file.
+
+- Increased defaults for 'maxmem' and 'maxmemtot' for Unix and Win32. Most
+ machines have much more RAM now that prices have dropped.
+- Implemented ":set all&", set all options to their default value. |:set|
+
+Swap file:
+- Don't create a swap file for a readonly file. Then create one on the first
+ change. Also create a swapfile when the amount of memory used is getting
+ too high. |swap-file|
+- Make swap file "hidden", if possible. On Unix this is done by prepending a
+ dot to the swap file name. When long file names are used, the DJGPP and
+ Win32 versions also prepend a dot, in case a file on a mounted Unix file
+ system is edited. |:swapname| On MSDOS the hidden file attribute is NOT
+ set, because this causes problems with share.exe.
+- 'updatecount' always defaults to non-zero, also for Vi compatible mode.
+ This means there is a swap file, which can be used for recovery.
+
+Tags:
+- Included ctags 2.0 (Darren Hiebert). The syntax for static tags changed
+ from
+ {tag}:{fname} {fname} {command}
+ to
+ {tag} {fname} {command};" file:
+ Which is both faster to parse, shorter and Vi compatible. The old format is
+ also still accepted, unless disabled in src/feature.h (see OLD_STATIC_TAGS).
+ |tags-file-format|
+- Completion of tags now also includes static tags for other files, at the
+ end.
+- Included "shtags" from Stephen Riehm.
+- When finding a matching tag, but the file doesn't exist, continue searching
+ for another match. Helps when using the same tags file (with links) for
+ different versions of source code.
+- Give a tag with a global match in the current file a higher priority than a
+ global match in another file.
+
+Included xxd version V1.8 (Juergen Weigert).
+
+Autocommands:
+- VimLeave autocommands are executed after writing the viminfo file, instead
+ of before. |VimLeave|
+- Allow changing autocommands while executing them. This allows for
+ self-modifying autocommands. (idea from Goldberg)
+- When using autocommands with two or more patterns, could not split
+ ":if/:endif" over two lines. Now all matching autocommands are executed in
+ one do_cmdline().
+- Autocommands no longer change the command repeated with ".".
+- Search patterns are restored after executing autocommands. This avoids
+ that the 'hlsearch' highlighting is messed up by autocommands.
+- When trying to execute an autocommand, also try matching the pattern with
+ the short file name. Helps when short file name is different from full
+ file name (expanded symbolic links). |autocmd-patterns|
+- Made the output of ":autocmd" shorter and look better.
+- Expand <sfile> in an ":autocmd" when it is defined. |<sfile>|
+- Added "nested" flag to ":autocmd", allows nesting. |autocmd-nested|
+- Added [group] argument to ":autocmd". Overrides the currently set group.
+ |autocmd-groups|
+- new events:
+ |BufUnload| before a buffer is unloaded
+ |BufDelete| before a buffer is deleted from the buffer list
+ |FileChangedShell| when a file's modification time has changed after
+ executing a shell command
+ |User| user-defined autocommand
+- When 'modified' was set by a BufRead* autocommand, it was reset again
+ afterwards. Now the ":set modified" is remembered.
+
+GUI:
+- Improved GUI scrollbar handling when redrawing is slower than the scrollbar
+ events are generated.
+- "vim -u NONE" now also stops loading the .gvimrc and other GUI inits. |-u|
+ Use "-U" to use another gvimrc file. |-U|
+- Handle CTRL-C for external command, also for systems where "setsid()" is
+ supported.
+- When starting the GUI, restrict the window size to the screen size.
+- The default menus are read from $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim. This allows for a
+ customized default menu. |menu.vim|
+- Improved the default menus. Added File/Print, a Window menu, Syntax menu,
+ etc.
+- Added priority to the ":menu" command. Now each menu can be put in a place
+ where you want it, independent of the order in which the menus are defined.
+ |menu-priority|
+
+Give a warning in the intro screen when running the Win32 console version on
+Windows 95 because there are problems using this version under Windows 95.
+|win32-problems|
+
+Added 'e' flag for ":substitute" command: Don't complain when not finding a
+match (Campbell). |:s|
+
+When using search commands in a mapping, only the last one is kept in the
+history. Avoids that the history is trashed by long mappings.
+
+Ignore characters after "ex", "view" and "gvim" when checking startup mode.
+Allows the use of "gvim5" et. al. |gvim| "gview" starts the GUI in readonly
+mode. |gview|
+
+When resizing windows, the cursor is kept in the same relative position, if
+possible. (Webb)
+
+":all" and ":ball" no longer close and then open a window for the same buffer.
+Avoids losing options, jumplist, and other info.
+
+"-f" command-line argument is now ignored if Vim was compiled without GUI.
+|-f|
+
+In Visual block mode, the right mouse button picks up the nearest corner.
+
+Changed default mappings for DOS et al. Removed the DOS-specific mappings,
+only use the Windows ones. Added Shift-Insert, Ctrl-Insert, Ctrl-Del and
+Shift-Del.
+
+Changed the numbers in the output of ":jumps", so you can see where {count}
+CTRL-O takes you. |:jumps|
+
+Using "~" for $HOME now works for all systems. |$HOME|
+
+Unix: Besides using CTRL-C, also use the INTR character from the tty settings.
+Somebody has INTR set to DEL.
+
+Allow a <NL> in a ":help" command argument to end the help command, so another
+command can follow.
+
+Doing "%" on a line that starts with " #if" didn't jump to matching "#else".
+Don't recognize "#if", "#else" etc. for '%' when 'cpo' contains the '%' flag.
+|%|
+
+Insert mode expansion with "CTRL-N", "CTRL-P" and "CTRL-X" improved
+|ins-completion|:
+- 'complete' option added.
+- When 'nowrapscan' is set, and no match found, report the searched direction
+ in the error message.
+- Repeating CTRL-X commands adds following words/lines after the match.
+- When adding-expansions, accept single character matches.
+- Made repeated CTRL-X CTRL-N not break undo, and "." repeats the whole
+ insertion. Also fixes not being able to backspace over a word that has been
+ inserted with CTRL-N.
+
+When copying characters in Insert mode from previous/next line, with CTRL-E or
+CTRL-Y, 'textwidth' is no longer used. |i_CTRL-E|
+
+Commands that move in the arglist, like ":n" and ":rew", keep the old cursor
+position of the file (this is mostly Vi compatible).
+
+Vim now remembers the '< and '> marks for each buffer. This fixes a problem
+that a line-delete in one buffer invalidated the '< and '> marks in another
+buffer. |'<|
+
+For MSDOS, Unix and OS/2: When $VIM not set, use the path from the executable.
+When using the executable path for $VIM, remove "src/" when present. Should
+make Vim find the docs and syntax files when it is run directly after
+compiling. |$VIM|
+
+When quitting Visual mode with <Esc>, the cursor is put at start of the Visual
+area (like after executing an operator).
+
+Win32 and Unix version: Removed 1100 character limit on external commands.
+
+Added possibility to include a space in a ":edit +command" argument, by
+putting a backslash before it. |+cmd|
+
+After recovery, BufReadPost autocommands are applied. |:recover|
+
+Added color support for "os2ansi", OS/2 console. (Slootman)
+
+Allow "%:p:h" when % is empty. |:_%|
+
+Included "<sfile>": file name from the ":source" command. |<sfile>|
+
+Added "<Bslash>" special character. Helps for avoiding multiple backslashes
+in mappings and menus.
+
+In a help window, a double-click jumps to the tag under the cursor (like
+CTRL-]).
+
+<C-Left> and <C-Right> now work like <S-Left> and <S-Right>, move a word
+forward/backward (Windows compatible). |<C-Left>|
+
+Removed the requirement for a ":version" command in a .vimrc file. It wasn't
+used for anything. You can use ":if" to handle differences between versions.
+|:version|
+
+For MS-DOS, Win32 and OS/2: When comparing file names for autocommands, don't
+make a difference between '/' and '\' for path separator.
+
+New termcap options:
+"mb": blink. Can only be used by assigning it to one of the other highlight
+ options. |t_mb|
+"bc": backspace character. |t_bc|
+"nd": Used for moving the cursor right in the GUI, to avoid removing one line
+ of pixels from the last bold character. |t_nd|
+"xs": highlighting not erased by overwriting, for hpterm. Combined with
+ 'weirdinvert'. Visual mode works on hpterm now. |t_xs|
+
+Unix: Set time of patch and backup file same as original file. (Hiebert).
+
+Amiga: In QuickFix mode no longer opens another window. Shell commands can be
+used now.
+
+Added decmouse patches from David Binette. Can now use Dec and Netterm mouse.
+But only when enabled at compile time.
+
+Added '#' register: Alternate file name |quote#|. Display '#' register with
+":dis" command. |:display|
+
+Removed ':' from 'isfname' default for Unix. Check for "://" in a file name
+anyway. Also check for ":\\", for MS-DOS.
+
+Added count to "K"eyword command, when 'keywordprg' is "man", is inserted in
+the man command. "2K" results in "!man 2 <cword>". |K|
+
+When using "gf" on a relative path name, remove "../" from the file name, like
+it's done for file names in the tags file. |gf|
+
+When finishing recording, don't make the recorded register the default put
+register.
+
+When using "!!", don't put ":5,5!" on the command-line, but ":.!". And some
+other enhancements to replace the line number with "." or "$" when possible.
+
+MSDOS et al.: Renamed $VIM/viminfo to $VIM/_viminfo. It's more consistent:
+.vimrc/_vimrc and .viminfo/_viminfo
+
+For systems where case doesn't matter in file names (MSDOS, Amiga), ignore
+case while sorting file names. For buffer names too.
+
+When reading from stdin doesn't work, read from stderr (helps for "foo | xargs
+vim").
+
+32 bit MS-DOS version: Replaced csdpmi3 by csdpmi4.
+
+Changed <C-Left> and <C-Right> to skip a WORD instead of a word.
+
+Warning for changed modified time when overwriting a file now also works on
+other systems than Unix.
+
+Unix: Changed the defaults for configure to be the same as the defaults for
+Makefile: include GUI, Perl, and Python.
+
+Some versions of Motif require "-lXpm". Added check for this in configure.
+
+Don't add "-L/usr/lib" to the link line, causes problems on a few systems.
+
+==============================================================================
+COMPILE TIME CHANGES *compile-changes-5*
+
+When compiling, allow a choice for minimal, normal or maximal features in an
+easy way, by changing a single line in src/feature.h.
+The DOS16 version has been compiled with minimal features to avoid running
+out of memory too quickly.
+The Win32, DJGPP, and OS/2 versions use maximal features, because they have
+enough memory.
+The Amiga version is available with normal and maximal features.
+
+Added "make test" to Unix version Makefile. Allows for a quick check if most
+"normal" commands work properly. Also tests a few specific commands.
+
+Added setlocale() with codepage support for DJGPP version.
+
+autoconf:
+- Added autoconf check for -lXdmcp.
+- Included check for -lXmu, no longer needed to edit the Makefile for this.
+- Switched to autoconf 2.12.
+- Added configure check for <poll.h>. Seems to be needed when including
+ Perl on Linux?
+- termlib is now checked before termcap.
+- Added configure check for strncasecmp(), stricmp() and strnicmp(). Added
+ vim_stricmp() for when there's no library function for stricmp().
+- Use "datadir" in configure, instead of our own check for HELPDIR.
+
+Removed "make proto" from Makefile.manx. Could not make it work without a lot
+of #ifdefs.
+
+Removed "proto/" from paths in proto.h. Needed for the Mac port.
+
+Drastically changed Makefile.mint. Now it includes the Unix Makefile.
+
+Added support for Dos16 in Makefile.b32 (renamed Makefile.b32 to Makefile.bor)
+
+All source files are now edited with a tabstop of 8 instead of 4, which is
+better when debugging and using other tools. 'softtabstop' is set to 4, to
+make editing easier.
+
+Unix: Added "link.sh" script, which removes a few unnecessary libraries from
+the link command.
+
+Don't use HPUX digraphs by default, but only when HPUX_DIGRAPHS is defined.
+|digraphs-default|
+
+==============================================================================
+BUG FIXES *bug-fixes-5*
+
+Note: Some of these fixes may only apply to test versions which were
+ created after version 4.6, but before 5.0.
+
+
+When doing ":bdel", try going to the next loaded buffer. Don't rewind to the
+start of the buffer list.
+
+mch_isdir() for Unix returned TRUE for "" on some systems.
+
+Win32: 'shell' set to "mksnt/sh.exe" breaks ":!" commands. Don't use
+backslashes in the temp file names.
+
+On linux, with a FAT file system, could get spurious "file xxx changed since
+editing started" messages, because the time is rounded off to two seconds
+unexpectedly.
+
+Crash in GUI, when selecting a word (double click) and then extend until an
+empty line.
+
+For systems where isdigit() can't handle characters > 255, get_number() caused
+a crash when moving the mouse during the prompt for recovery.
+
+In Insert mode, "CTRL-O P" left the cursor on the last inserted character.
+Now the cursor is left after the last putted character.
+
+When quickfix found an error type other than 'e' or 'w', it was never printed.
+
+A setting for 'errorfile' in a .vimrc overruled the "-q errorfile" argument.
+
+Some systems create a file when generating a temp file name. Filtering would
+then create a backup file for this, which was never deleted. Now no backup
+file is made when filtering.
+
+simplify_filename() could remove a ".." after a link, resulting in the wrong
+file name. Made simplify_filename also work for MSDOS. Don't use it for
+Amiga, since it doesn't have "../".
+
+otherfile() was unreliable when using links. Could think that reading/writing
+was for a different file, when it was the same.
+
+Pasting with mouse in Replace mode didn't replace anything.
+
+Window height computed wrong when resizing a window with an autocommand (could
+cause a crash).
+
+":s!foo!bar!" wasn't possible (Vi compatible).
+
+do_bang() freed memory twice when called recursively, because of autocommands
+(test11). Thanks to Electric Fence!
+
+"v$d" on an empty line didn't remove the "-- VISUAL --" mode message from the
+command-line, and inverted the cursor.
+
+":mkexrc" didn't check for failure to open the file, causing a crash.
+(Felderhoff).
+
+Win32 mch_write() wrote past fixed buffer, causing terminal keys no longer to
+be recognized. Both console and GUI version.
+
+Athena GUI: Crash when removing a menu item. Now Vim doesn't crash, but the
+reversing of the menu item is still wrong.
+
+Always reset 'list' option for the help window.
+
+When 'scrolloff' is non-zero, a 'showmatch' could cause the shown match to be
+in the wrong line and the window to be scrolled (Acevedo).
+
+After ":set all&", 'lines' and 'ttytype' were still non-default, because the
+defaults never got set. Now the defaults for 'lines' and 'columns' are set
+after detecting the window size. 'term' and 'ttytype' defaults are set when
+detecting the terminal type.
+
+For (most) non-Unix systems, don't add file names with illegal characters when
+expanding. Fixes "cannot open swapfile" error when doing ":e *.burp", when
+there is no match.
+
+In X11 GUI, drawing part of the cursor obscured the text. Now the text is
+drawn over the cursor, like when it fills the block. (Seibert)
+
+when started with "-c cmd -q errfile", the cursor would be left in line 1.
+Now a ":cc" is done after executing "cmd".
+
+":ilist" never ignored case, even when 'ignorecase' set.
+
+"vim -r file" for a readonly file, then making a change, got ATTENTION message
+in insert mode, display mixed up until <Esc> typed. Also don't give ATTENTION
+message after recovering a file.
+
+The abbreviation ":ab #i #include" could not be removed.
+
+CTRL-L completion (longest common match) on command-line didn't work properly
+for case-insensitive systems (MS-DOS, Windows, etc.). (suggested by Richard
+Kilgore).
+
+For terminals that can hide the cursor ("vi" termcap entry), resizing the
+window caused the cursor to disappear.
+
+Using an invalid mark in an Ex address didn't abort the command.
+
+When 'smarttab' set, would use 'shiftround' when inserting a TAB after a
+space. Now it always rounds to a tabstop.
+
+Set '[ and '] marks for ":copy", ":move", ":append", ":insert", ":substitute"
+and ":change". (Acevedo).
+
+"d$" in an empty line still caused an error, even when 'E' is not in
+'cpoptions'.
+
+Help files were stored in the viminfo buffer list without a path.
+
+GUI: Displaying cursor was not synchronized with other displaying. Caused
+several display errors. For example, when the last two lines in the file
+start with spaces, "dd" on the last line copied text to the (then) last line.
+
+Win32: Needed to type CTRL-SHIFT-- to get CTRL-_.
+
+GUI: Moving the cursor forwards over bold text would remove one column of bold
+pixels.
+
+X11 GUI: When a bold character in the last column was scrolled up or down, one
+column of pixels would not be copied.
+
+Using <BS> to move the cursor left can sometimes erase a character. Now use
+"le" termcap entry for this.
+
+Keyword completion with regexp didn't work. e.g., for "b.*crat".
+
+Fixed: With CTRL-O that jumps to another file, cursor could end up just after
+the line.
+
+Amiga: '$' was missing from character recognized as wildcards, causing $VIM
+sometimes not to be expanded.
+
+":change" didn't adjust marks for deleted lines.
+
+":help [range]" didn't work. Also for [pattern], [count] and [quotex].
+
+For 'cindent'ing, typing "class::method" doesn't align like a label when the
+second ':' is typed.
+When inserting a CR with 'cindent' set (and a bunch of other conditions) the
+cursor went to a wrong location.
+'cindent' was wrong for a line that ends in '}'.
+'cindent' was wrong after "else {".
+
+While editing the cmdline in the GUI, could not use the mouse to select text
+from the command-line itself.
+
+When deleting lines, marks in tag stack were only adjusted for the current
+window, not for other windows on the same buffer.
+
+Tag guessing could find a function "some_func" instead of the "func" we were
+looking for.
+
+Tags file name relative to the current file didn't work.
+
+":g/pat2/s//pat2/g", causing the number of subs to be reported, used to cause
+a scroll up. Now you no longer have to hit <CR>.
+
+X11 GUI: Selecting text could cause a crash.
+
+32 bit DOS version: CTRL-C in external command killed Vim. When SHELL is set
+to "sh.exe", external commands didn't work. Removed using of command.com, no
+longer need to set 'shellquote'.
+
+Fixed crash when using ":g/pat/i".
+
+Fixed (potential) crash for X11 GUI, when using an X selection. Was giving a
+pointer on the stack to a callback function, now it's static.
+
+Using "#" and "*" with an operator didn't work. E.g. "c#".
+
+Command-line expansion didn't work properly after ":*". (Acevedo)
+
+Setting 'weirdinvert' caused highlighting to be wrong in the GUI.
+
+":e +4 #" didn't work, because the "4" was in unallocated memory (could cause
+a crash).
+
+Cursor position was wrong for ":e #", after ":e #" failed, because of changes
+to the buffer.
+
+When doing ":buf N", going to a buffer that was edited with ":view", the
+readonly flag was reset. Now make a difference between ":e file" and ":buf
+file": Only set/reset 'ro' for the first one.
+
+Avoid |hit-enter| prompt when not able to write viminfo on exit.
+
+When giving error messages in the terminal where the GUI was started, GUI
+escape codes would be written to the terminal. In an xterm this could be seen
+as a '$' after the message.
+
+Mouse would not work directly after ":gui", because full_screen isn't set,
+which causes starttermcap() not to do its work.
+
+'incsearch' did not scroll the window in the same way as the actual search.
+When 'nowrap' set, incsearch didn't show a match when it was off the side of
+the screen. Now it also shows the whole match, instead of just the cursor
+position (if possible).
+
+":unmap", ":unab" and ":unmenu" did not accept a double quote, it was seen as
+the start of a comment. Now it's Vi compatible.
+
+Using <Up><Left><Left><Up> in the command-line, when there is no previous
+cmdline in the history, inserted a NUL on the command-line.
+
+"i<Esc>" when on a <Tab> in column 0 left the cursor in the wrong place.
+
+GUI Motif: When adding a lot of menu items, the menu bar goes into two rows.
+Deleting menu items, reducing the number of rows, now also works.
+
+With ":g/pat/s//foo/c", a match in the first line was scrolled off of the
+screen, so you could not see it.
+When using ":s//c", with 'nowrap' set, a match could be off the side of the
+screen, so you could not see it.
+
+When 'helpfile' was set to a fixed, non-absolute path in feature.h, Vim would
+crash. mch_Fullname can now handle file names in read-only memory. (Lottem)
+
+When using CTRL-A or CTRL-@ in Insert mode, there could be strange effects
+when using CTRL-D next. Also, when repeating inserted text that included "0
+CTRL-D" or "^ CTRL-D" this didn't work. (Acevedo)
+Using CTRL-D after using CTRL-E or CTRL-Y in Insert mode that inserted a '0'
+or '^', removed the '0' or '^' and more indent.
+
+The command "2".p" caused the last inserted text to be executed as commands.
+(Acevedo)
+
+Repeating the insert of "CTRL-V 048" resulted in "^@" to be inserted.
+
+Repeating Insert completion could fail if there are special characters in the
+text. (Acevedo)
+
+":normal /string<CR>" caused the window to scroll. Now all ":normal" commands
+are executed without scrolling messages.
+
+Redo of CTRL-E or CTRL-Y in Insert mode interpreted special characters as
+commands.
+
+Line wrapping for 'tw' was done one character off for insert expansion
+inserts.
+
+buffer_exists() function didn't work properly for buffer names with a symbolic
+link in them (e.g. when using buffer_exists(#)).
+
+Removed the "MOTIF_COMMENT" construction from Makefile. It now works with
+FreeBSD make, and probably with NeXT make too.
+
+Matching the 'define' and 'include' arguments now honor the settings for
+'ignorecase'. (Acevedo)
+
+When one file shown in two windows, Visual selection mixed up cursor position
+in current window and other window.
+
+When doing ":e file" from a help file, the 'isk' option wasn't reset properly,
+because of a modeline in the help file.
+
+When doing ":e!", a cursor in another window on the same buffer could become
+invalid, leading to "ml_get: invalid lnum" errors.
+
+Matching buffer name for when expanded name has a different path from not
+expanded name (Brugnara).
+
+Normal mappings didn't work after an operator. For example, with ":map Q gq",
+"QQ" didn't work.
+
+When ":make" resulted in zero errors, a "No Errors" error message was given
+(which breaks mappings).
+
+When ":sourcing" a file, line length was limited to 1024 characters. CTRL-V
+before <EOL> was not handled Vi compatible. (Acevedo)
+
+Unexpected exit for X11 GUI, caused by SAVE_YOURSELF event. (Heimann)
+
+CTRL-X CTRL-I only found one match per line. (Acevedo)
+When using an illegal CTRL-X key in Insert mode, the CTRL-X mode message
+was stuck.
+
+Finally managed to ignore the "Quit" menu entry of the Window manager! Now
+Vim only exists when there are no changed buffers.
+
+Trying to start the GUI when $DISPLAY is not set resulted in a crash.
+When $DISPLAY is not set and gvim starts vim, title was restored to "Thanks
+for flying Vim".
+When $DISPLAY not set, starting "gvim" (dropping back to vim) and then
+selecting text with the mouse caused a crash.
+
+"J", with 'joinspaces' set, on a line ending in ". ", caused one space too
+many to be added. (Acevedo)
+
+In insert mode, a CTRL-R {regname} which didn't insert anything left the '"'
+on the screen.
+
+":z10" didn't work. (Clapp)
+
+"Help "*" didn't work.
+
+Renamed a lot of functions, to avoid clashes with POSIX name space.
+
+When adding characters to a line, making it wrap, the following lines were
+sometimes not shifted down (e.g. after a tag jump).
+
+CTRL-E, with 'so' set and cursor on last line, now does not move cursor as
+long as the last line is on the screen.
+
+When there are two windows, doing "^W+^W-" in the bottom window could cause
+the status line to be doubled (not redrawn correctly).
+
+This command would hang: ":n `cat`". Now connect stdin of the external
+command to /dev/null, when expanding.
+
+Fixed lalloc(0,) error for ":echo %:e:r". (Acevedo)
+
+The "+command" argument to ":split" didn't work when there was no file name.
+
+When selecting text in the GUI, which is the output of a command-line command
+or an external command, the inversion would sometimes remain.
+
+GUI: "-mh 70" argument was broken. Now, when menuheight is specified, it is
+not changed anymore.
+
+GUI: When using the scrollbar or mouse while executing an external command,
+this caused garbage characters.
+
+Showmatch sometimes jumped to the wrong position. Was caused by a call to
+findmatch() when redrawing the display (when syntax highlighting is on).
+
+Search pattern "\(a *\)\{3} did not work correctly, also matched "a a".
+Problem with brace_count not being decremented.
+
+Wildcard expansion added too many non-matching file names.
+
+When 'iskeyword' contains characters like '~', "*" and "#" didn't work
+properly. (Acevedo)
+
+On Linux, on a FAT file system, modification time can change by one second.
+Avoid a "file has changed" warning for a one second difference.
+
+When using the page-switching in an xterm, Vim would position the cursor on
+the last line of the window on exit. Also removed the cursor positioning for
+":!" commands.
+
+":g/pat/p" command (partly) overwrote the command. Now the output is on a
+separate line.
+
+With 'ic' and 'scs' set, a search for "Keyword", ignore-case matches were
+highlighted too.
+
+"^" on a line with only white space, put cursor beyond the end of the line.
+
+When deleting characters before where insertion started ('bs' == 2), could not
+use abbreviations.
+
+CTRL-E at end of file puts cursor below the file, in Visual mode, when 'so' is
+non-zero. CTRL-E didn't work when 'so' is big and the line below the window
+wraps. CTRL-E, when 'so' is non-zero, at end of the file, caused jumping
+up-down.
+
+":retab" didn't work well when 'list' is set.
+
+Amiga: When inserting characters at the last line on the screen, causing it
+to wrap, messed up the display. It appears that a '\n' on the last line
+doesn't always cause a scroll up.
+
+In Insert mode "0<C-D><C-D>" deleted an extra character, because Vim thought
+that the "0" was still there. (Acevedo)
+
+"z{count}l" ignored the count. Also for "zh" et. al. (Acevedo)
+
+"S" when 'autoindent' is off didn't delete leading white space.
+
+"/<Tab>" landed on the wrong character when 'incsearch' is set.
+
+Asking a yes/no question could cause a |hit-enter| prompt.
+
+When the file consists of one long line (>4100 characters), making changes
+caused various errors and a crash.
+
+DJGPP version could not save long lines (>64000) for undo.
+
+"yw" on the last char in the file didn't work. Also fixed "6x" at the end of
+the line. "6X" at the start of a line fails, but does not break a mapping. In
+general, a movement for an operator doesn't beep or flush a mapping, but when
+there is nothing to operate on it beeps (this is Vi compatible).
+
+"m'" and "m`" now set the '' mark at the cursor position.
+
+Unix: Resetting of signals for external program didn't work, because SIG_DFL
+and NULL are the same! For "!!yes|dd count=1|, the yes command kept on
+running.
+
+Partly fixed: Unix GUI: Typeahead while executing an external command was lost.
+Now it's not lost while the command is producing output.
+
+Typing <S-Tab> in Insert mode, when it isn't mapped, inserted "<S-Tab>". Now
+it works like a normal <Tab>, just like <C-Tab> and <M-Tab>.
+
+Redrawing ruler didn't check for old value correctly (caused UMR warnings in
+Purify).
+
+Negative array index in finish_viminfo_history().
+
+":g/^/d|mo $" deleted all the lines. The ":move" command now removes the
+:global mark from the moved lines.
+
+Using "vG" while the last line in the window is a "@" line, didn't update
+correctly. Just the "v" showed "~" lines.
+
+"daw" on the last char of the file, when it's a space, moved the cursor beyond
+the end of the line.
+
+When 'hlsearch' was set or reset, only the current buffer was redrawn, while
+this affects all windows.
+
+CTRL-^, positioning the cursor somewhere from 1/2 to 1 1/2 screen down the
+file, put the cursor at the bottom of the window, instead of halfway.
+
+When scrolling up for ":append" command, not all windows were updated
+correctly.
+
+When 'hlsearch' is set, and an auto-indent is highlighted, pressing <Esc>
+didn't remove the highlighting, although the indent was deleted.
+
+When 'ru' set and 'nosc', using "$j" showed a wrong ruler.
+
+Under Xfree 3.2, Shift-Tab didn't work (wrong keysym is used).
+
+Mapping <S-Tab> didn't work. Changed the key translations to use the shortest
+key code possible. This makes the termcode translations and mappings more
+consistent. Now all modifiers work in all combinations, not only with <Tab>,
+but also with <Space>, <CR>, etc.
+
+For Unix, restore three more signals. And Vim catches SIGINT now, so CTRL-C
+in Ex mode doesn't make Vim exit.
+
+""a5Y" yanked 25 lines instead of 5.
+
+"vrxxx<Esc>" in an empty line could not be undone.
+
+A CTRL-C that breaks ":make" caused the errorfile not to be read (annoying
+when you want to handle what ":make" produced so far).
+
+":0;/pat" didn't find "pat" in line 1.
+
+Search for "/test/s+1" at first char of file gave bottom-top message, or
+didn't work at all with 'nowrapscan'.
+
+Bug in viminfo history. Could cause a crash on exit.
+
+":print" didn't put cursor on first non-blank in line.
+
+":0r !cat </dev/null" left cursor in line zero, with very strange effects.
+
+With 'showcmd' set and 'timeoutlen' set to a few seconds, trick to position
+the cursor leftwards didn't work.
+
+AIX stty settings were restored to cs5 instead of cs8 (Winn).
+
+File name completion didn't work for "zsh" versions that put spaces between
+file names, instead of NULs.
+
+Changed "XawChain*" to "XtChain*", should work for more systems.
+
+Included quite a few fixes for rightleft mode (Lottem).
+
+Didn't ask to |hit-enter| when GUI is started and error messages are printed.
+
+When trying to edit a file in a non-existent directory, ended up with editing
+"No file".
+
+"gqap" to format a paragraph did too much redrawing.
+
+When 'hlsearch' set, only the current window was updated for a new search
+pattern.
+
+Sometimes error messages on startup didn't cause a |hit-enter| prompt,
+because of autocommands containing an empty line.
+
+Was possible to select part of the window in the border, below the command
+line.
+
+'< and '> marks were not at the correct position after linewise Visual
+selection.
+
+When translating a help argument to "CTRL-x", prepend or append a '_', when
+applicable.
+
+Blockwise visual mode wasn't correct when moving vertically over a special
+character (displayed as two screen characters).
+
+Renamed "struct option" to "struct vimoption" to avoid name clash with GNU
+getopt().
+
+":abclear" didn't work (but ":iabclear" and ":cabclear" did work).
+
+When 'nowrap' used, screen wasn't always updated correctly.
+
+"vim -c split file" displayed extra lines.
+
+After starting the GUI, searched the termcap for a "gui" term.
+
+When 'hls' used, search for "^$" caused a hang.
+When 'hls' was set, an error in the last regexp caused trouble.
+
+Unix: Only output an extra <EOL> on exit when outputted something in the
+alternate screen, or when there is a message that needs to be cleared.
+
+"/a\{" did strange things, depending on previous search.
+
+"c}" only redrew one line (with -u NONE).
+
+For mappings, CTRL-META-A was shown as <M-^A> instead of <MC-A>, while :map
+only accepts <MC-A>. Now <M-C-A> is shown.
+
+Unix: When using full path name in a tags file, which contains a link, and
+'hidden' set and jumping to a tag in the current file, would get bogus
+ATTENTION message. Solved by always expanding file names, even when starting
+with '/'.
+
+'hlsearch' highlighting of special characters (e.g., a TAB) didn't highlight
+the whole thing.
+
+"r<CR>" didn't work correctly on the last char of a line.
+
+Sometimes a window resize or other signal caused an endless loop, involving
+set_winsize().
+
+"vim -r" didn't work, it would just hang (using tgetent() while 'term' is
+empty).
+
+"gk" while 'nowrap' set moved two lines up.
+
+When windows are split, a message that causes a scroll-up messed up one of the
+windows, which required a CTRL-L to be typed.
+
+Possible endless loop when using shell command in the GUI.
+
+Menus defined in the .vimrc were removed when GUI started.
+
+Crash when pasting with the mouse in insert mode.
+
+Crash with ":unmenu *" in .gvimrc for Athena.
+
+"5>>" shifted 5 lines 5 times, instead of 1 time.
+
+CTRL-C when getting a prompt in ":global" didn't interrupt.
+
+When 'so' is non-zero, and moving the scrollbar completely to the bottom,
+there was a lot of flashing.
+
+GUI: Scrollbar ident must be long for DEC Alpha.
+
+Some functions called vim_regcomp() without setting reg_magic, which could
+lead to unpredictable magicness.
+
+Crash when clicking around the status line, could get a selection with a
+backwards range.
+
+When deleting more than one line characterwise, the last character wasn't
+deleted.
+
+GUI: Status line could be overwritten when moving the scrollbar quickly (or
+when 'wd' is non-zero).
+
+An ESC at the end of a ":normal" command caused a wait for a terminal code to
+finish. Now, a terminal code is not recognized when its start comes from a
+mapping or ":normal" command.
+
+Included patches from Robert Webb for GUI. Layout of the windows is now done
+inside Vim, instead of letting the layout manager do this. Makes Vim work
+with Lesstif!
+
+UMR warning in set_expand_context().
+
+Memory leak: b_winlnum list was never freed.
+
+Removed TIOCLSET/TIOCLGET code from os_unix.c. Was changing some of the
+terminal settings, and looked like it wasn't doing anything good. (suggested
+by Juergen Weigert).
+
+Ruler overwrote "is a directory" message. When starting up, and 'cmdheight'
+set to > 1, first message could still be in the last line.
+
+Removed prototype for putenv() from proto.h, it's already in osdef2.h.in.
+
+In replace mode, when moving the cursor and then backspacing, wrong characters
+were inserted.
+
+Win32 GUI was checking for a CTRL-C too often, making it slow.
+
+Removed mappings for MS-DOS that were already covered by commands.
+
+When visually selecting all lines in a file, cursor at last line, then "J".
+Gave ml_get errors. Was a problem with scrolling down during redrawing.
+
+When doing a linewise operator, and then an operator with a mouse click, it
+was also linewise, instead of characterwise.
+
+When 'list' is set, the column of the ruler was wrong.
+
+Spurious error message for "/\(b\+\)*".
+
+When visually selected many lines, message from ":w file" disappeared when
+redrawing the screen.
+
+":set <M-b>=^[b", then insert "^[b", waited for another character. And then
+inserted "<M-b>" instead of the real <M-b> character. Was trying to insert
+K_SPECIAL x NUL.
+
+CTRL-W ] didn't use count to set window height.
+
+GUI: "-font" command-line argument didn't override 'guifont' setting from
+.gvimrc. (Acevedo)
+
+GUI: clipboard wasn't used for "*y". And some more Win32/X11 differences
+fixed for the clipboard (Webb).
+
+Jumping from one help file to another help file, with 'compatible' set,
+removed the 'help' flag from the buffer.
+
+File-writable bit could be reset when using ":w!" for a readonly file.
+
+There was a wait for CTRL-O n in Insert mode, because the search pattern was
+shown.
+Reduced wait, to allow reading a message, from 10 to 3 seconds. It seemed
+nothing was happening.
+
+":recover" found same swap file twice.
+
+GUI: "*yy only worked the second time (when pasting to an xterm)."
+
+DJGPP version (dos32): The system flags were cleared.
+
+Dos32 version: Underscores were sometimes replaced with y-umlaut (Levin).
+
+Version 4.1 of ncurses can't handle tputs("", ..). Avoid calling tputs() with
+an empty string.
+
+<S-Tab> in the command-line worked like CTRL-P when no completion started yet.
+Now it does completion, last match first.
+
+Unix: Could get annoying "can't write viminfo" message after doing "su". Now
+the viminfo file is overwritten, and the user set back to the original one.
+
+":set term=builtin_gui" started the GUI in a wrong way. Now it's not
+allowed anymore. But "vim -T gui" does start the GUI correctly now.
+
+GUI: Triple click after a line only put last char in selection, when it is a
+single character word.
+
+When the window is bigger than the screen, the scrolling up of messages was
+wrong (e.g. ":vers", ":hi"). Also when the bottom part of the window was
+obscured by another window.
+
+When using a wrong option only an error message is printed, to avoid that the
+usage information makes it scroll off the screen.
+
+When exiting because of not being able to read from stdin, didn't preserve the
+swap files properly.
+
+Visual selecting all chars in more than one line, then hit "x" didn't leave an
+empty line. For one line it did leave an empty line.
+
+Message for which autocommand is executing messed up file write message (for
+FileWritePost event).
+
+"vim -h" included "-U" even when GUI is not available, and "-l" when lisp is
+not available.
+
+Crash for ":he <C-A>" (command-line longer than screen).
+
+":s/this/that/gc", type "y" two times, then undo, did reset the modified
+option, even though the file is still modified.
+
+Empty lines in a tags file caused a ":tag" to be aborted.
+
+When hitting 'q' at the more prompt for ":menu", still scrolled a few lines.
+
+In an xterm that uses the bold trick a single row of characters could remain
+after an erased bold character. Now erase one extra char after the bold char,
+like for the GUI.
+
+":pop!" didn't work.
+
+When the reading a buffer was interrupted, ":w" should not be able to
+overwrite the file, ":w!" is required.
+
+":cf%" caused a crash.
+
+":gui longfilename", when forking is enabled, could leave part of the
+longfilename at the shell prompt.
+
+==============================================================================
+VERSION 5.1 *version-5.1*
+
+Improvements made between version 5.0 and 5.1.
+
+This was mostly a bug-fix release, not many new features.
+
+
+Changed *changed-5.1*
+-------
+
+The expand() function now separates file names with <NL> instead of a space.
+This avoids problems for file names with embedded spaces. To get the old
+result, use substitute(expand(foo), "\n", " ", "g").
+
+For Insert-expanding dictionaries allow a backslash to be used for
+wildchars. Allows expanding "ze\kra", when 'isk' includes a backslash.
+
+New icon for the Win32 GUI.
+
+":tag", ":tselect" etc. only use the argument as a regexp when it starts
+with '/'. Avoids that ":tag xx~" gives an error message: "No previous sub.
+regexp". Also, when the :tag argument contained wildcard characters, it was
+not Vi compatible.
+When using '/', the argument is taken literally too, with a higher priority,
+so it's found before wildcard matches.
+Only when the '/' is used are matches with different case found, even though
+'ignorecase' isn't set.
+Changed "g^]" to only do ":tselect" when there is more than on matching tag.
+
+Changed some of the default colors, because they were not very readable on a
+dark background.
+
+A character offset to a search pattern can move the cursor to the next or
+previous line. Also fixes that "/pattern/e+2" got stuck on "pattern" at the
+end of a line.
+
+Double-clicks in the status line do no longer start Visual mode. Dragging a
+status line no longer stops Visual mode.
+
+Perl interface: Buffers() and Windows() now use more logical arguments, like
+they are used in the rest of Vim (Moore).
+
+Init '" mark to the first character of the first line. Makes it possible to
+use '" in an autocommand without getting an error message.
+
+
+Added *added-5.1*
+-----
+
+"shell_error" internal variable: result of last shell command.
+
+":echohl" command: Set highlighting for ":echo".
+
+'S' flag in 'highlight' and StatusLineNC highlight group: highlighting for
+status line of not-current window. Default is to use bold for current
+window.
+
+Added buffer_name() and buffer_number() functions (Aaron).
+Added flags argument "g" to substitute() function (Aaron).
+Added winheight() function.
+
+Win32: When an external command starts with "start ", no console is opened
+for it (Aaron).
+
+Win32 console: Use termcap codes for bold/reverse based on the current
+console attributes.
+
+Configure check for "strip". (Napier)
+
+CTRL-R CTRL-R x in Insert mode: Insert the contents of a register literally,
+instead of as typed.
+
+Made a few "No match" error messages more informative by adding the pattern
+that didn't match.
+
+"make install" now also copies the macro files.
+
+tools/tcltags, a shell script to generate a tags file from a TCL file.
+
+"--with-tlib" setting for configure. Easy way to use termlib: "./configure
+--with-tlib=termlib".
+
+'u' flag in 'cino' for setting the indent for contained () parts.
+
+When Win32 OLE version can't load the registered type library, ask the user
+if he wants to register Vim now. (Erhardt)
+Win32 with OLE: When registered automatically, exit Vim.
+Included VisVim 1.1b, with a few enhancements and the new icon (Heiko
+Erhardt).
+
+Added patch from Vince Negri for Win32s support. Needs to be compiled with
+VC 4.1!
+
+Perl interface: Added $curbuf. Rationalized Buffers() and Windows().
+(Moore) Added "group" argument to Msg().
+
+Included Perl files in DOS source archive. Changed Makefile.bor and
+Makefile.w32 to support building a Win32 version with Perl included.
+
+Included new Makefile.w32 from Ken Scott. Now it's able to make all Win32
+versions, including OLE, Perl and Python.
+
+Added CTRL-W g ] and CTRL-W g ^]: split window and do g] or g^].
+
+Added "g]" to always do ":tselect" for the ident under the cursor.
+Added ":tjump" and ":stjump" commands.
+Improved listing of ":tselect" when tag names are a bit long.
+
+Included patches for the Macintosh version. Also for Python interface.
+(St-Amant)
+
+":buf foo" now also restores cursor column, when the buffer was used before.
+
+Adjusted the Makefile for different final destinations for the syntax files
+and scripts (for Debian Linux).
+
+Amiga: $VIM can be used everywhere. When $VIM is not defined, "VIM:" is
+used. This fixes that "VIM:" had to be assigned for the help files, and
+$VIM set for the syntax files. Now either of these work.
+
+Some xterms send vt100 compatible function keys F1-F4. Since it's not
+possible to detect this, recognize both type of keys and translate them to
+<F1> - <F4>.
+
+Added "VimEnter" autocommand. Executed after loading all the startup stuff.
+
+BeOS version now also runs on Intel CPUs (Seibert).
+
+
+Fixed *fixed-5.1*
+-----
+
+":ts" changed position in the tag stack when cancelled with <CR>.
+":ts" changed the cursor position for CTRL-T when cancelled with <CR>.
+":tn" would always jump to the second match. Was using the wrong entry in
+the tag stack.
+Doing "tag foo", then ":tselect", overwrote the original cursor position in
+the tag stack.
+
+"make install" changed the vim.1 manpage in a wrong way, causing "doc/doc"
+to appear for the documentation files.
+
+When compiled with MAX_FEAT, xterm mouse handling failed. Was caused by DEC
+mouse handling interfering.
+
+Was leaking memory when using selection in X11.
+
+CTRL-D halfway a command-line left some characters behind the first line(s)
+of the listing.
+
+When expanding directories for ":set path=", put two extra backslashes
+before a space in a directory name.
+
+When 'lisp' set, first line of a function would be indented. Now its indent
+is set to zero. And use the indent of the first previous line that is at
+the same () level. Added test33.
+
+"so<Esc>u" in an empty file didn't work.
+
+DOS: "seek error in swap file write" errors, when using DOS 6.2 share.exe,
+because the swap file was made hidden. It's no longer hidden.
+
+":global" command would sometimes not execute on a matching line. Happened
+when a data block is full in ml_replace().
+
+For AIX use a tgetent buffer of 2048 bytes, instead of 1024.
+
+Win32 gvim now only sets the console size for external commands to 25x80
+on Windows 95, not on NT.
+
+Win32 console: Dead key could cause a crash, because of a missing "WINAPI"
+(Deshpande).
+
+The right mouse button started Visual mode, even when 'mouse' is empty, and
+in the command-line, a left click moved the cursor when 'mouse' is empty.
+In Visual mode, 'n' in 'mouse' would be used instead of 'v'.
+
+A blinking cursor or focus change cleared a non-Visual selection.
+
+CTRL-Home and CTRL-End didn't work for MS-DOS versions.
+
+Could include NUL in 'iskeyword', causing a crash when doing insert mode
+completion.
+
+Use _dos_commit() to flush the swap file to disk for MSDOS 16 bit version.
+
+In mappings, CTRL-H was replaced by the backspace key code. This caused
+problems when it was used as text, e.g. ":map _U :%s/.^H//g<CR>".
+
+":set t_Co=0" was not handled like a normal term. Now it's translated into
+":set t_Co=", which works.
+
+For ":syntax keyword" the "transparent" option did work, although not
+mentioned in the help. But synID() returned wrong name.
+
+"gqG" in a file with one-word-per-line (e.g. a dictionary) was very slow and
+not interruptible.
+
+"gq" operator inserted screen lines in the wrong situation. Now screen
+lines are inserted or deleted when this speeds up displaying.
+
+cindent was wrong when an "if" contained "((".
+
+'r' flag in 'viminfo' was not used for '%'. Could get files in the buffer
+list from removable media.
+
+Win32 GUI with OLE: if_ole_vc.mak could not be converted into a project.
+Hand-edited to fix this...
+
+With 'nosol' set, doing "$kdw" below an empty line positioned the cursor at
+the end of the line.
+
+Dos32 version changed "\dir\file" into "/dir/file", to work around a DJGPP
+bug. That bug appears to have been fixed, therefore this translation has
+been removed.
+
+"/^*" didn't work (find '*' in first column).
+
+"<afile>" was not always set for autocommands. E.g., for ":au BufEnter *
+let &tags = expand("<afile>:p:h") . "/tags".
+
+In an xterm, the window may be a child of the outer xterm window. Use the
+parent window when getting the title and icon names. (Smith)
+
+When starting with "gvim -bg black -fg white", the value of 'background' is
+only set after reading the .gvimrc file. This causes a ":syntax on" to use
+the wrong colors. Now allow using ":gui" to open the GUI window and set the
+colors. Previously ":gui" in a gvimrc crashed Vim.
+
+tempname() returned the same name all the time, unless the file was actually
+created. Now there are at least 26 different names.
+
+File name used for <afile> was sometimes full path, sometimes file name
+relative to current directory.
+
+When 'background' was set after the GUI window was opened, it could change
+colors that were set by the user in the .gvimrc file. Now it only changes
+colors that have not been set by the user.
+
+Ignore special characters after a CSI in the GUI version. These could be
+interpreted as special characters in a wrong way. (St-Amant)
+
+Memory leak in farsi code, when using search or ":s" command.
+Farsi string reversing for a mapping was only done for new mappings. Now it
+also works for replacing a mapping.
+
+Crash in Win32 when using a file name longer than _MAX_PATH. (Aaron)
+
+When BufDelete autocommands were executed, some things for the buffer were
+already deleted (esp. Perl stuff).
+
+Perl interface: Buffer specific items were deleted too soon; fixes "screen
+no longer exists" messages. (Moore)
+
+The Perl functions didn't set the 'modified' flag.
+
+link.sh did not return an error on exit, which may cause Vim to start
+installing, even though there is no executable to install. (Riehm)
+
+Vi incompatibility: In Vi "." redoes the "y" command. Added the 'y' flag to
+'cpoptions'. Only for 'compatible' mode.
+
+":echohl" defined a new group, when the argument was not an existing group.
+
+"syn on" and ":syn off" could move the cursor, if there is a hidden buffer
+that is shorter that the current cursor position.
+
+The " mark was not set when doing ":b file".
+
+When a "nextgroup" is used with "skipwhite" in syntax highlighting, space at
+the end of the line made the nextgroup also be found in the next line.
+
+":he g<CTRL-D>", then ":" and backspace to the start didn't redraw.
+
+X11 GUI: "gvim -rv" reversed the colors twice on Sun. Now Vim checks if the
+result is really reverse video (background darker than foreground).
+
+"cat link.sh | vim -" didn't set syntax highlighting.
+
+Win32: Expanding "file.sw?" matched ".file.swp". This is an error of
+FindnextFile() that we need to work around. (Kilgore)
+
+"gqgq" gave an "Invalid lnum" error on the last line.
+Formatting with "gq" didn't format the first line after a change of comment
+leader.
+
+There was no check for out-of-memory in win_alloc().
+
+"vim -h" didn't mention "-register" and "-unregister" for the OLE version.
+
+Could not increase 'cmdheight' when the last window is only one line. Now
+other windows are also made smaller, when necessary.
+
+Added a few {} to avoid "suggest braces around" warnings from gcc 2.8.x.
+Changed return type of main() from void to int. (Nam)
+
+Using '~' twice in a substitute pattern caused a crash.
+
+"syn on" and ":syn off" could scroll the window, if there is a hidden buffer
+that is shorter that the current cursor position.
+
+":if 0 | if 1 | endif | endif" didn't work. Same for ":while" and "elseif".
+
+With two windows on modified files, with 'autowrite' set, cursor in second
+window, ":qa" gave a warning for the file in the first window, but then
+auto-wrote the file in the second window. (Webb)
+
+Win32 GUI scrollbar could only handle 32767 lines. Also makes the
+intellimouse wheel use the configurable number of scrolls. (Robinson)
+
+When using 'patchmode', and the backup file is on another partition, the file
+copying messed up the write-file message.
+
+GUI X11: Alt-Backspace and Alt-Delete didn't work.
+
+"`0" could put the cursor after the last character in the line, causing
+trouble for other commands, like "i".
+
+When completing tags in insert mode with ^X^], some matches were skipped,
+because the compare with other tags was wrong. E.g., when "mnuFileSave" was
+already there, "mnuFile" would be skipped. (Negri)
+
+When scrolling up/down, a syntax item with "keepend" didn't work properly.
+Now the flags are also stored for the syntax state at the start of each line.
+
+When 'ic' was changed while 'hlsearch' is on, there was no redraw to show the
+effect.
+
+Win32 GUI: Don't display "No write since last chance" in a message box, but in
+the Vim window.
+
+==============================================================================
+VERSION 5.2 *version-5.2*
+
+Improvements made between version 5.1 and 5.2.
+
+
+Long lines editable *long-lines*
+-------------------
+
+A single long line that doesn't fit in the window doesn't show a line of @@@
+anymore. Redrawing starts at a character further on in the line, such that
+the text around the cursor can be seen. This makes it possible to edit these
+long lines when wrapping is on.
+
+
+File browser added *file-browser-5.2*
+------------------
+
+The Win32, Athena and Motif GUI bring up a file requester if the user asks to
+":browse" for the ":e", ":w", ":r", ":so", ":redirect" and
+":mkexrc/vimrc/vsess" commands. ":browse e /foo/bar" opens the requester in
+the /foo/bar directory, so you can have nice mapping rhs's like ":browse so
+$vim/macros". If no initial dir specified for ":browse e", can be compiled to
+either begin in the current directory, or that of the current buffer. (Negri
+and Kahn)
+Added the 'browsedir' option, with value "current", "last" or "buffer". Tells
+whether a browse dialog starts in last used dir, dir of current buffer, or
+current dir. ":browse w" is unaffected.
+The default menus have been changed to use the ":browse" command.
+
+
+Dialogs added *dialogs-added*
+-------------
+
+Added the ":confirm" command. Works on ":e", ":q", ":w", ":cl". Win32,
+Athena and Motif GUI uses a window-dialog. All other platforms can use
+prompt in command-line. ":confirm qa" offers a choice to save all modified
+files.
+
+confirm() function: allows user access to the confirm engine.
+
+Added 'v' flag to 'guioptions'. When included, a vertical button layout is
+always used for the Win32 GUI dialog. Otherwise, a horizontal layout is
+preferred.
+
+Win32 GUI: ":promptfind" and ":promptrepl" pop up a dialog to find/replace.
+To be used from a menu entry. (Negri)
+
+
+Popup menu added *popup-menu-added*
+----------------
+
+When the 'mousemodel' option is set to "popup", the right mouse button
+displays the top level menu headed with "PopUp" as pop-up context menu. The
+"PopUp" menu is not displayed in the normal menu bar. This currently only
+works for Win32 and Athena GUI.
+
+
+Select mode added *new-Select-mode*
+-----------------
+
+A new mode has been added: "Select mode". It is like Visual mode, but typing
+a printable character replaces the selection.
+- CTRL-G can be used to toggle between Visual mode and Select mode.
+- CTRL-O can be used to switch from Select mode to Visual mode for one command.
+- Added 'selectmode' option: tells when to start Select mode instead of Visual
+ mode.
+- Added 'mousemodel' option: Change use of mouse buttons.
+- Added 'keymodel' option: tells to use shifted special keys to start a
+ Visual or Select mode selection.
+- Added ":behave". Can be used to quickly set 'selectmode', 'mousemodel'
+ and 'keymodel' for MS-Windows and xterm behavior.
+- The xterm-like selection is now called modeless selection.
+- Visual mode mappings and menus are used in Select mode. They automatically
+ switch to Visual mode first. Afterwards, reselect the area, unless it was
+ deleted. The "gV" command can be used in a mapping to skip the reselection.
+- Added the "gh", "gH" and "g^H" commands: start Select (highlight) mode.
+- Backspace in Select mode deletes the selected area.
+
+"mswin.vim" script. Sets behavior mostly like MS-Windows.
+
+
+Session files added *new-session-files*
+-------------------
+
+":mks[ession]" acts like "mkvimrc", but also writes the full filenames of the
+currently loaded buffers and current directory, so that :so'ing the file
+re-loads those files and cd's to that directory. Also stores and restores
+windows. File names are made relative to session file.
+The 'sessionoptions' option sets behavior of ":mksession". (Negri)
+
+
+User defined functions and commands *new-user-defined*
+-----------------------------------
+
+Added user defined functions. Defined with ":function" until ":endfunction".
+Called with "Func()". Allows the use of a variable number of arguments.
+Included support for local variables "l:name". Return a value with ":return".
+See |:function|.
+Call a function with ":call". When using a range, the function is called for
+each line in the range. |:call|
+"macros/justify.vim" is an example of using user defined functions.
+User functions do not change the last used search pattern or the command to be
+redone with ".".
+'maxfuncdepth' option. Restricts the depth of function calls. Avoids trouble
+(crash because of out-of-memory) when a function uses endless recursion.
+
+User definable Ex commands: ":command", ":delcommand" and ":comclear".
+(Moore) See |user-commands|.
+
+
+New interfaces *interfaces-5.2*
+--------------
+
+Tcl interface. (Wilken) See |tcl|.
+Uses the ":tcl", ":tcldo" and "tclfile" commands.
+
+Cscope support. (Kahn) (Sekera) See |cscope|.
+Uses the ":cscope" and ":cstag" commands. Uses the options 'cscopeprg',
+'cscopetag', 'cscopetagorder' and 'cscopeverbose'.
+
+
+New ports *ports-5.2*
+---------
+
+Amiga GUI port. (Nielsen) Not tested much yet!
+
+RISC OS version. (Thomas Leonard) See |riscos|.
+This version can run either with a GUI or in text mode, depending upon where
+it is invoked.
+Deleted the "os_archie" files, they were not working anyway.
+
+
+Multi-byte support *new-multi-byte* *new-multibyte*
+------------------
+
+MultiByte support for Win32 GUI. (Baek)
+The 'fileencoding' option decides how the text in the file is encoded.
+":ascii" works for multibyte characters. Multi-byte characters work on
+Windows 95, even when using the US version. (Aaron)
+Needs to be enabled in feature.h.
+This has not been tested much yet!
+
+
+New functions *new-functions-5.2*
+-------------
+
+|browse()| puts up a file requester when available. (Negri)
+|escape()| escapes characters in a string with a backslash.
+|fnamemodify()| modifies a file name.
+|input()| asks the user to enter a line. (Aaron) There is a separate
+ history for lines typed for the input() function.
+|argc()|
+|argv()| can be used to access the argument list.
+|winbufnr()| buffer number of a window. (Aaron)
+|winnr()| window number. (Aaron)
+|matchstr()| Return matched string.
+|setline()| Set a line to a string value.
+
+
+New options *new-options-5.2*
+-----------
+
+'allowrevins' Enable the CTRL-_ command in Insert and Command-line mode.
+'browsedir' Tells in which directory a browse dialog starts.
+'confirm' when set, :q :w and :e commands always act as if ":confirm"
+ is used. (Negri)
+'cscopeprg'
+'cscopetag'
+'cscopetagorder'
+'cscopeverbose' Set the |cscope| behavior.
+'filetype' RISC-OS specific type of file.
+'grepformat'
+'grepprg' For the |:grep| command.
+'keymodel' Tells to use shifted special keys to start a Visual or Select
+ mode selection.
+'listchars' Set character to show in 'list' mode for end-of-line, tabs and
+ trailing spaces. (partly by Smith) Also sets character to
+ display if a line doesn't fit when 'nowrap' is set.
+'matchpairs' Allows matching '<' with '>', and other single character
+ pairs.
+'mousefocus' Window focus follows mouse (partly by Terhaar). Changing the
+ focus with a keyboard command moves the pointer to that
+ window. Also move the pointer when changing the window layout
+ (split window, change window height, etc.).
+'mousemodel' Change use of mouse buttons.
+'selection' When set to "inclusive" or "exclusive", the cursor can go one
+ character past the end of the line in Visual or Select mode.
+ When set to "old" the old behavior is used. When
+ "inclusive", the character under the cursor is included in the
+ operation. When using "exclusive", the new "ve" entry of
+ 'guicursor' is used. The default is a vertical bar.
+'selectmode' Tells when to start Select mode instead of Visual mode.
+'sessionoptions' Sets behavior of ":mksession". (Negri)
+'showfulltag' When completing a tag in Insert mode, show the tag search
+ pattern (tidied up) as a choice as well (if there is one).
+'swapfile' Whether to use a swap file for a buffer.
+'syntax' When it is set, the syntax by that name is loaded. Allows for
+ setting a specific syntax from a modeline.
+'ttymouse' Allows using xterm mouse codes for terminals which name
+ doesn't start with "xterm".
+'wildignore' List of patterns for files that should not be completed at
+ all.
+'wildmode' Can be used to set the type of expansion for 'wildchar'.
+ Replaces the CTRL-T command for command line completion.
+ Don't beep when listing all matches.
+'winaltkeys' Win32 and Motif GUI. When "yes", ALT keys are handled
+ entirely by the window system. When "no", ALT keys are never
+ used by the window system. When "menu" it depends on whether
+ a key is a menu shortcut.
+'winminheight' Minimal height for each window. Default is 1. Set to 0 if
+ you want zero-line windows. Scrollbar is removed for
+ zero-height windows. (Negri)
+
+
+
+New Ex commands *new-ex-commands-5.2*
+---------------
+
+|:badd| Add file name to buffer list without side effects. (Negri)
+|:behave| Quickly set MS-Windows or xterm behavior.
+|:browse| Use file selection dialog.
+|:call| Call a function, optionally with a range.
+|:cnewer|
+|:colder| To access a stack of quickfix error lists.
+|:comclear| Clear all user-defined commands.
+|:command| Define a user command.
+|:continue| Go back to ":while".
+|:confirm| Ask confirmation if something unexpected happens.

+|:cstag| Use cscope to jump to a tag.
+|:delcommand| Delete a user-defined command.
+|:delfunction| Delete a user-defined function.
+|:endfunction| End of user-defined function.
+|:function| Define a user function.
+|:grep| Works similar to ":make". (Negri)
+|:mksession| Create a session file.
+|:nohlsearch| Stop 'hlsearch' highlighting for a moment.
+|:Print| This is Vi compatible. Does the same as ":print".
+|:promptfind| Search dialog (Win32 GUI).

+|:return| Return from a user-defined function.
+|:simalt| Win32 GUI: Simulate alt-key pressed. (Negri)

+
+
+Changed *changed-5.2*
+-------
+
+Renamed functions:
+ buffer_exists() -> bufexists()
+ buffer_name() -> bufname()
+ buffer_number() -> bufnr()
+ file_readable() -> filereadable()
+ highlight_exists() -> hlexists()
+ highlightID() -> hlID()
+ last_buffer_nr() -> bufnr("$")
+The old ones are still there, for backwards compatibility.
+
+The CTRL-_ command in Insert and Command-line mode is only available when the
+new 'allowrevins' option is set. Avoids that people who want to type SHIFT-_
+accidentally enter reverse Insert mode, and don't know how to get out.
+
+When a file name path in ":tselect" listing is too long, remove a part in the
+middle and put "..." there.
+
+Win32 GUI: Made font selector appear inside Vim window, not just any odd
+place. (Negri)
+
+":bn" skips help buffers, unless currently in a help buffer. (Negri)
+
+When there is a status line and only one window, don't show '^' in the status
+line of the current window.
+
+":*" used to be used for "'<,'>", the Visual area. But in Vi it's used as an
+alternative for ":@". When 'cpoptions' includes '*' this is Vi compatible.
+
+When 'insertmode' is set, using CTRL-O to execute a mapping will work like
+'insertmode' was not set. This allows "normal" mappings to be used even when
+'insertmode' is set.
+
+When 'mouse' was set already (e.g., in the .vimrc file), don't automatically
+set 'mouse' when the GUI starts.
+
+Removed the 'N', 'I' and 'A' flags from the 'mouse' option.
+
+Renamed "toggle option" to "boolean option". Some people thought that ":set
+xyz" would toggle 'xyz' on/off each time.
+
+The internal variable "shell_error" contains the error code from the shell,
+instead of just 0 or 1.
+
+When inserting or replacing, typing CTRL-V CTRL-<CR> used to insert "<C-CR>".
+That is not very useful. Now the CTRL key is ignored and a <CR> is inserted.
+Same for all other "normal" keys with modifiers. Mapping these modified key
+combinations is still possible.
+In Insert mode, <C-CR> and <S-Space> can be inserted by using CTRL-K and then
+the special character.
+
+Moved "quotes" file to doc/quotes.txt, and "todo" file to doc/todo.txt. They
+are now installed like other documentation files.
+
+winheight() function returns -1 for a non-existing window. It used to be
+zero, but that is a valid height now.
+
+The default for 'selection' is "inclusive", which makes a difference when
+using "$" or the mouse to move the cursor in Visual mode.
+
+":q!" does not exit when there are changed buffers which are hidden. Use
+":qa!" to exit anyway.
+
+Disabled the Perl/Python/Tcl interfaces by default. Not many people use them
+and they make the executable a lot bigger. The internal scripting language is
+now powerful enough for most tasks.
+
+The strings from the 'titlestring' and 'iconstring' options are used
+untranslated for the Window title and icon. This allows for including a <CR>.
+Previously a <CR> would be shown as "^M" (two characters).
+
+When a mapping is started in Visual or Select mode which was started from
+Insert mode (the mode shows "(insert) Visual"), don't return to Insert mode
+until the mapping has ended. Makes it possible to use a mapping in Visual
+mode that also works when the Visual mode was started from Select mode.
+
+Menus in $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim no longer overrule existing menus. This helps
+when defining menus in the .vimrc file, or when sourcing mswin.vim.
+
+Unix: Use /var/tmp for .swp files, if it exists. Files there survive a
+reboot (at least on Linux).
+
+
+Added *added-5.2*
+-----
+
+--with-motif-lib configure argument. Allows for using a static Motif library.
+
+Support for mapping numeric keypad +,-,*,/ keys. (Negri)
+When not mapped, they produce the normal character.
+
+Win32 GUI: When directory dropped on gVim, cd there and edit new buffer.
+(Negri)
+
+Win32 GUI: Made CTRL-Break work as interrupt, so that CTRL-C can be
+used for mappings.
+
+In the output of ":map", highlight the "*" to make clear it's not part of the
+rhs. (Roemer)
+
+When showing the Visual area, the cursor is not switched off, so that it can
+be located. The Visual area is now highlighted with a grey background in the
+GUI. This makes the cursor visible when it's also reversed.
+
+Win32: When started with single full pathname (e.g. via double-clicked file),
+cd to that file's directory. (Negri)
+
+Win32 GUI: Tear-off menus, with ":tearoff <menu-name>" command. (Negri)
+'t' option to 'guioptions': Add tearoff menu items for Win32 GUI and Motif.
+It's included by default.
+Win32 GUI: tearoff menu with submenus is indicated with a ">>". (Negri)
+
+Added ^Kaa and ^KAA digraphs.
+Added "euro" symbol to digraph.c. (Corry)
+
+Support for Motif menu shortcut keys, using '&' like MS-Windows (Ollis).
+Other GUIs ignore '&' in a menu name.
+
+DJGPP: Faster screen updating (John Lange).
+
+Clustering of syntax groups ":syntax cluster" (Bigham).
+Including syntax files: ":syntax include" (Bigham).
+
+Keep column when switching buffers, when 'nosol' is set (Radics).
+
+Number function for Perl interface.
+
+Support for Intellimouse in Athena GUI. (Jensen)
+
+":sleep" also accepts an argument in milliseconds, when "m" is used.
+
+Added 'p' flag in 'guioptions': Install callbacks for enter/leave window
+events. Makes cursor blinking work for Terhaar, breaks it for me.
+
+"--help" and "--version" command-line arguments.
+
+Non-text in ":list" output is highlighted with NonText.
+
+Added text objects: "i(" and "i)" as synonym for "ib". "i{" and "i}" as
+synonym for "iB". New: "i<" and "i>", to select <thing>. All this also for
+"a" objects.
+
+'O' flag in 'shortmess': message for reading a file overwrites any previous
+message. (Negri)
+
+Win32 GUI: 'T' flag in 'guioptions': switch toolbar on/off.
+Included a list with self-made toolbar bitmaps. (Negri)
+
+Added menu priority for sub-menus. Implemented for Win32 and Motif GUI.
+Display menu priority with ":menu" command.
+Default and Syntax menus now include priority for items. Allows inserting
+menu items in between the default ones.
+
+When the 'number' option is on, highlight line numbers with the LineNr group.
+
+"Ignore" highlight group: Text highlighted with this is made blank. It is
+used to hide special characters in the help text.
+
+Included Exuberant Ctags version 2.3, with C++ support, Java support and
+recurse into directories. (Hiebert)
+
+When a tags file is not sorted, and this is detected (in a simplistic way), an
+error message is given.
+
+":unlet" accepts a "!", to ignore non-existing variables, and accepts more
+than one argument. (Roemer)
+Completion of variable names for ":unlet". (Roemer)
+
+When there is an error in a function which is called by another function, show
+the call stack in the error message.
+
+New file name modifiers:
+":.": reduce file name to be relative to current dir.
+":~": reduce file name to be relative to home dir.
+":s?pat?sub?": substitute "pat" with "sub" once.
+":gs?pat?sub?": substitute "pat" with "sub" globally.
+
+New configure arguments: --enable-min-features and --enable-max-features.
+Easy way to switch to minimum or maximum features.
+
+New compile-time feature: modify_fname. For file name modifiers, e.g,
+"%:p:h". Can be disabled to save some code (16 bit DOS).
+
+When using whole-line completion in Insert mode, and 'cindent' is set, indent
+the line properly.
+
+MSDOS and Win32 console: 'guicursor' sets cursor thickness. (Negri)
+
+Included new set of Farsi fonts. (Shiran)
+
+Accelerator text now also works in Motif. All menus can be defined with & for
+mnemonic and TAB for accelerator text. They are ignored on systems that don't
+support them.
+When removing or replacing a menu, compare the menu name only up to the <Tab>
+before the mnemonic.
+
+'i' and 'I' flags after ":substitute": ignore case or not.
+
+"make install" complains if the runtime files are missing.
+
+Unix: When finding an existing swap file that can't be opened, mention the
+owner of the file in the ATTENTION message.
+
+The 'i', 't' and 'k' options in 'complete' now also print the place where they
+are looking for matches. (Acevedo)
+
+"gJ" command: Join lines without inserting a space.
+
+Setting 'keywordprg' to "man -s" is handled specifically. The "-s" is removed
+when no count given, the count is added otherwise. Configure checks if "man
+-s 2 read" works, and sets the default for 'keywordprg' accordingly.
+
+If you do a ":bd" and there is only one window open, Vim tries to move to a
+buffer of the same type (i.e. non-help to non-help, help to help), for
+consistent behavior to :bnext/:bprev. (Negri)
+
+Allow "<Nop>" to be used as the rhs of a mapping. ":map xx <Nop>", maps "xx"
+to nothing at all.
+
+In a ":menu" command, "<Tab>" can be used instead of a real tab, in the menu
+path. This makes it more easy to type, no backslash needed.
+
+POSIX compatible character classes for regexp patterns: [:alnum:], [:alpha:],
+[:blank:], [:cntrl:], [:digit:], [:graph:], [:lower:], [:print:], [:punct:],
+[:space:], [:upper:] and [:xdigit:]. (Briscoe)
+
+regexp character classes (for fast syntax highlight matching):
+ digits: \d [0-9] \D not digit (Roemer)
+ hex: \x [0-9a-fA-F] \X not hex
+ octal: \o [0-7] \O not octal
+ word: \w [a-zA-Z0-9_] \W not word
+ head: \h [a-zA-Z_] \H not head
+ alphabetic: \a [a-zA-Z] \A not alphabetic
+ lowercase: \l [a-z] \L not lowercase
+ uppercase: \u [A-Z] \U not uppercase
+
+":set" now accepts "+=", |^=" and "-=": add or remove parts of a string
+option, add or subtract a number from a number option. A comma is
+automagically inserted or deleted for options that are a comma-separated list.
+
+Filetype feature, for autocommands. Uses a file type instead of a pattern to
+match a file. Currently only used for RISC OS. (Leonard)
+
+In a pattern for an autocommand, environment variables can be used. They are
+expanded when the autocommand is defined.
+
+"BufFilePre" and "BufFilePost" autocommand evens: Before and after applying
+the ":file" command to change the name of a buffer.
+"VimLeavePre" autocommand event: before writing the .viminfo file.
+
+For autocommands argument: <abuf> is buffer number, like <afile>.
+
+Made syntax highlighting a bit faster when scrolling backwards, by keeping
+more syncing context.
+
+Win32 GUI: Made scrolling faster by avoiding a redraw when deleting or
+inserting screen lines.
+
+GUI: Made scrolling faster by not redrawing the scrollbar when the thumb moved
+less than a pixel.
+
+Included ":highlight" in bugreport.vim.
+
+Created install.exe program, for simplistic installation on DOS and
+MS-Windows.
+
+New register: '_', the black hole. When writing to it, nothing happens. When
+reading from it, it's always empty. Can be used to avoid a delete or change
+command to modify the registers, or reduce memory use for big changes.
+
+CTRL-V xff enters character by hex number. CTRL-V o123 enters character by
+octal number. (Aaron)
+
+Improved performance of syntax highlighting by skipping check for "keepend"
+when there isn't any.
+
+Moved the mode message ("-- INSERT --") to the last line of the screen. When
+'cmdheight' is more than one, messages will remain readable.
+
+When listing matching files, they are also sorted on 'suffixes', such that
+they are listed in the same order as CTRL-N retrieves them.
+
+synIDattr() takes a third argument (optionally), which tells for which
+terminal type to get the attributes for. This makes it possible to run
+2html.vim outside of gvim (using color names instead of #RRGGBB).
+
+Memory profiling, only for debugging. Prints at exit, and with "g^A" command.
+(Kahn)
+
+DOS: When using a file in the current drive, remove the drive name:
+"A:\dir\file" -> "\dir\file". This helps when moving a session file on a
+floppy from "A:\dir" to "B:\dir".
+
+Increased number of remembered jumps from 30 to 50 per window.
+
+Command to temporarily disable 'hls' highlighting until the next search:
+":nohlsearch".
+
+"gp" and "gP" commands: like "p" and "P", but leave the cursor just after the
+inserted text. Used for the CTRL-V command in MS-Windows mode.
+
+
+Fixed *fixed-5.2*
+-----
+
+Win32 GUI: Could draw text twice in one place, for fake-bold text. Removed
+this, Windows will handle the bold text anyway. (Negri)
+
+patch 5.1.1: Win32s GUI: pasting caused a crash (Negri)
+
+patch 5.1.2: When entering another window, where characters before the cursor
+have been deleted, could have a cursor beyond the end of the line.
+
+patch 5.1.3: Win32s GUI: Didn't wait for external command to finish. (Negri)
+
+patch 5.1.4: Makefile.w32 can now also be used to generate the OLE version
+(Scott).
+
+patch 5.1.5: Crashed when using syntax highlighting: cursor on a line that
+doesn't fit in the window, and splitting that line in two.
+
+patch 5.1.6: Visual highlighting bug: After ":set nowrap", go to end of line
+(so that the window scrolls horizontally), ":set wrap". Following Visual
+selection was wrong.
+
+patch 5.1.7: When 'tagbsearch' off, and 'ignorecase' off, still could do
+binary searching.
+
+patch 5.1.8: Win32 GUI: dragging the scrollbar didn't update the ruler.
+
+patch 5.1.9: Using ":gui" in .vimrc, caused xterm cursor to disappear.
+
+patch 5.1.10: A CTRL-N in Insert mode could cause a crash, when a buffer
+without a name exists.
+
+patch 5.1.11: "make test" didn't work in the shadow directory. Also adjusted
+"make shadow" for the links in the ctags directory.
+
+patch 5.1.12: "buf 123foo" used "123" as a count, instead as the start of a
+buffer name.
+
+patch 5.1.13: When completing file names on the command-line, reallocating the
+command-line may go wrong.
+
+patch 5.1.14: ":[nvci]unmenu" removed menu for all modes, when full menu patch
+specified.
+
+Graceful handling of NULLs in drag-dropped file list. Handle passing NULL to
+Fullname_save(). (Negri)
+
+Win32: ":!start" to invoke a program without opening a console, swapping
+screens, or waiting for completion in either console or gui version, e.g. you
+can type ":!start winfile". ALSO fixes "can't delete swapfile after spawning
+a shell" bug. (enhancement of Aaron patch) (Negri)
+
+Win32 GUI: Fix CTRL-X default keymapping to be more Windows-like. (Negri)
+
+Shorten filenames on startup. If in /foo/bar, entering "vim ../bar/bang.c"
+displays "bang.c" in status bar, not "/foo/bar/bang.c" (Negri)
+
+Win32 GUI: No copy to Windows clipboard when it's not desired.
+
+Win32s: Fix pasting from clipboard - made an assumption not valid under
+Win32s. (Negri)
+
+Win32 GUI: Speed up calls to gui_mch_draw_string() and cursor drawing
+functions. (Negri)
+
+Win32 GUI: Middle mouse button emulation now works in GUI! (Negri)
+
+Could skip messages when combining commands in one line, e.g.:
+":echo "hello" | write".
+
+Perl interpreter was disabled before executing VimLeave autocommands. Could
+not use ":perl" in them. (Aaron)
+
+Included patch for the Intellimouse (Aaron/Robinson).
+
+Could not set 'ls' to one, when last window has only one line. (Mitterand)
+
+Fixed a memory leak when removing menus.
+
+After ":only" the ruler could overwrite a message.
+
+Dos32: removed changing of __system_flags. It appears to work better when
+it's left at the default value.
+
+p_aleph was an int instead of along, caused trouble on systems where
+sizeof(int) != sizeof(long). (Schmidt)
+
+Fixed enum problems for Ultrix. (Seibert)
+
+Small redraw problem: "dd" on last line in file cleared wrong line.
+
+Didn't interpret "cmd | endif" when "cmd" starts with a range. E.g. "if 0 |
+.d | endif".
+
+Command "+|" on the last line of the file caused ml_get errors.
+
+Memory underrun in eval_vars(). (Aaron)
+
+Don't rename files in a difficult way, except on Windows 95 (was also done on
+Windows NT).
+
+Win32 GUI: An external command that produces an error code put the error
+message in a dialog box. had to close the window and close the dialog. Now
+the error code is displayed in the console. (Negri)
+
+"comctl32.lib" was missing from the GUI libraries in Makefile.w32. (Battle)
+
+In Insert mode, when entering a window in Insert mode, allow the cursor to be
+one char beyond the text.
+
+Renamed machine dependent rename() to mch_rename(). Define mch_rename() to
+rename() when it works properly.
+
+Rename vim_chdir() to mch_chdir(), because it's machine dependent.
+
+When using an arglist, and editing file 5 of 4, ":q" could cause "-1 more
+files to edit" error.
+
+In if_python.c, VimCommand() caused an assertion when a do_cmdline() failed.
+Moved the Python_Release_Vim() to before the VimErrorCheck(). (Harkins)
+
+Give an error message for an unknown argument after "--". E.g. for "vim
+--xyz".
+
+The FileChangedShell autocommand didn't set <afile> to the name of the changed
+file.
+
+When doing ":e file", causing the attention message, there sometimes was no
+hit-enter prompt. Caused by empty line or "endif" at end of sourced file.
+
+A large number of patches for the VMS version. (Hunsaker)
+
+When CTRL-L completion (find longest match) results in a shorter string, no
+completion is done (happens with ":help").
+
+Crash in Win32 GUI version, when using an Ex "@" command, because
+LinePointers[] was used while not initialized.
+
+Win32 GUI: allow mapping of Alt-Space.
+
+Output from "vim -h" was sent to stderr. Sending it to stdout is better, so
+one can use "vim -h | more".
+
+In command-line mode, ":vi[!]" should reload the file, just like ":e[!]".
+In Ex mode, ":vi" stops Ex mode, but doesn't reload the file. This is Vi
+compatible.
+
+When using a ":set ls=1" in the .gvimrc file, would get a status line for a
+single window. (Robinson)
+
+Didn't give an error message for ":set ai,xx". (Roemer)
+Didn't give an error message for ":set ai?xx", ":set ai&xx", ":set ai!xx".
+
+Non-Unix systems: That a file exists but is unreadable is recognized as "new
+file". Now check for existence when file can't be opened (like Unix).
+
+Unix: osdef.sh didn't handle declarations where the function name is at the
+first column of the line.
+
+DJGPP: Shortening of file names didn't work properly, because get_cwd()
+returned a path with backslashes. (Negri)
+
+When using a 'comments' part where a space is required after the middle part,
+always insert a space when starting a new line. Helps for C comments, below a
+line with "/****".
+
+Replacing path of home directory with "~/" could be wrong for file names
+with embedded spaces or commas.
+
+A few fixes for the Sniff interface. (Leherbauer)
+
+When asking to hit 'y' or 'n' (e.g. for ":3,1d"), using the mouse caused
+trouble. Same for ":s/x/y/c" prompt.
+
+With 'nowrap' and 'list', a Tab halfway on the screen was displayed as blanks,
+instead of the characters specified with 'listchars'. Also for other
+characters that take more than one screen character.
+
+When setting 'guifont' to an unknown font name, the previous font was lost and
+a default font would be used. (Steed)
+
+DOS: Filenames in the root directory didn't get shortened properly. (Negri)
+
+DJGPP: making a full path name out of a file name didn't work properly when
+there is no _fullpath() function. (Negri)
+
+Win32 console: ":sh" caused a crash. (Negri)
+
+Win32 console: Setting 'lines' and/or 'columns' in the _vimrc failed miserably
+(could hang Windows 95). (Negri)
+
+Win32: The change-drive function was not correct, went to the wrong drive.
+(Tsindlekht)
+
+GUI: When editing a command line in Ex mode, Tabs were sometimes not
+backspaced properly, and unprintable characters were displayed directly.
+non-GUI can still be wrong, because a system function is called for this.
+
+":set" didn't stop after an error. For example ":set no ai" gave an error for
+"no", but still set "ai". Now ":set" stops after the first error.
+
+When running configure for ctags, $LDFLAGS wasn't passed to it, causing
+trouble for IRIX.
+
+"@%" and "@#" when file name not set gave an error message. Now they just
+return an empty string. (Steed)
+
+CTRL-X and CTRL-A didn't work correctly with negative hex and octal numbers.
+(Steed)
+
+":echo" always started with a blank.
+
+Updating GUI cursor shape didn't always work (e.g., when blinking is off).
+
+In silent Ex mode ("ex -s" or "ex <file") ":s///p" didn't print a line. Also
+a few other commands that explicitly print a text line didn't work. Made this
+Vi compatible.
+
+Win32 version of _chdrive() didn't return correct value. (Tsindlekht)
+
+When using 't' in 'complete' option, no longer give an error message for a
+missing tags file.
+
+Unix: tgoto() can return NULL, which was not handled correctly in configure.
+
+When doing ":help" from a buffer where 'binary' is set, also edited the help
+file in binary mode. Caused extra ^Ms for DOS systems.
+
+Cursor position in a file was reset to 1 when closing a window.
+
+":!ls" in Ex mode switched off echo.
+
+When doing a double click in window A, while currently in window B, first
+click would reset double click time, had to click three times to select a
+word.
+
+When using <F11> in mappings, ":mkexrc" produced an exrc file that can't be
+used in Vi compatible mode. Added setting of 'cpo' to avoid this. Also, add
+a CTRL-V in front of a '<', to avoid a normal string to be interpreted as a
+special key name.
+
+Gave confusing error message for ":set guifont=-*-lucida-*": first "font is
+not fixed width", then "Unknown font".
+
+Some options were still completely left out, instead of included as hidden
+options.
+
+While running the X11 GUI, ignore SIGHUP signals. Avoids a crash after
+executing an external command (in rare cases).
+
+In os_unixx.h, signal() was defined to sigset(), while it already was.
+
+Memory leak when executing autocommands (was reported as a memory leak in
+syntax highlighting).
+
+Didn't print source of error sometimes, because pointers were the same,
+although names were different.
+
+Avoid a number of UMR errors from Purify (third argument to open()).
+
+A swap file could still be created just after setting 'updatecount' to zero,
+when there is an empty buffer and doing ":e file". (Kutschera)
+
+Test 35 failed on 64 bit machines. (Schild)
+
+With "p" and "P" commands, redrawing was slow.
+
+Awk script for html documentation didn't work correctly with AIX awk.
+Replaced "[ ,.);\] ]" with "[] ,.); ]". (Briscoe)
+The makehtml.awk script had a small problem, causing extra lines to be
+inserted. (Briscoe)
+
+"gqgq" could not be repeated. Repeating for "gugu" and "gUgU" worked in a
+wrong way. Also made "gqq" work to be consistent with "guu".
+
+C indent was wrong after "case ':':".
+
+":au BufReadPre *.c put": Line from put text was deleted, because the buffer
+was still assumed to be empty.
+
+Text pasted with the Edit/Paste menu was subject to 'textwidth' and
+'autoindent'. That was inconsistent with using the mouse to paste. Now "*p
+is used.
+
+When using CTRL-W CTRL-] on a word that's not a tag, and then CTRL-] on a tag,
+window was split.
+
+":ts" got stuck on a tags line that has two extra fields.
+
+In Insert mode, with 'showmode' on, <C-O><C-G> message was directly
+overwritten by mode message, if preceded with search command warning message.
+
+When putting the result of an expression with "=<expr>p, newlines were
+inserted like ^@ (NUL in the file). Now the string is split up in lines at
+the newline.
+
+putenv() was declared with "const char *" in pty.c, but with "char *" in
+osdef2.h.in. Made the last one also "const char *".
+
+":help {word}", where +{word} is a feature, jumped to the feature list instead
+of where the command was explained. E.g., ":help browse", ":help autocmd".
+
+Using the "\<xx>" form in an expression only got one byte, even when using a
+special character that uses several bytes (e.g., "\<F9>").
+Changed "\<BS>" to produce CTRL-H instead of the special key code for the
+backspace key. "\<Del>" produces 0x7f.
+
+":mkvimrc" didn't write a command to set 'compatible' or 'nocompatible'.
+
+The shell syntax didn't contain a "syn sync maxlines" setting. In a long file
+without recognizable items, syncing took so long it looked like Vim hangs.
+Added a maxlines setting, and made syncing interruptible.
+
+The "gs" command didn't flush output before waiting.
+
+Memory leaks for:
+ ":if 0 | let a = b . c | endif"
+ "let a = b[c]"
+ ":so {file}" where {file} contains a ":while"
+
+GUI: allocated fonts were never released. (Leonard)
+
+Makefile.bor:
+- Changed $(DEFINES) into a list of "-D" options, so that it can also be used
+ for the resource compiler. (not tested!)
+- "bcc.cfg" was used for all configurations. When building for another
+ configuration, the settings for the previous one would be used. Moved
+ "bcc.cfg" to the object directory. (Geddes)
+- Included targets for vimrun, install, ctags and xxd. Changed the default to
+ use the Borland DLL Runtime Library, makes Vim.exe a log smaller. (Aaron)
+
+"2*" search for the word under the cursor with "2" prepended. (Leonard)
+
+When deleting into a specific register, would still overwrite the non-Win32
+GUI selection. Now ""x"*P works.
+
+When deleting into the "" register, would write to the last used register.
+Now ""x always writes to the unnamed register.
+
+GUI Athena: A submenu with a '.' in it didn't work. E.g.,
+":amenu Syntax.XY\.Z.foo lll".
+
+When first doing ":tag foo" and then ":tnext" and/or ":tselect" the order of
+matching tags could change, because the current file is different. Now the
+existing matches are kept in the same order, newly found matches are added
+after them, not matter what the current file is.
+
+":ta" didn't find the second entry in a tags file, if the second entry was
+longer than the first one.
+
+When using ":set si tw=7" inserting "foo {^P}" made the "}" inserted at the
+wrong position. can_si was still TRUE when the cursor is not in the indent of
+the line.
+
+Running an external command in Win32 version had the problem that Vim exits
+when the X on the console is hit (and confirmed). Now use the "vimrun"
+command to start the external command indirectly. (Negri)
+
+Win32 GUI: When running an external filter, do it in a minimized DOS box.
+(Negri)
+
+":let" listed variables without translation into printable characters.
+
+Win32 console: When resizing the window, switching back to the old size
+(when exiting or executing an external command) sometimes failed. (Negri)
+This appears to also fix a "non fixable" problem:
+Win32 console in NT 4.0: When running Vim in a cmd window with a scrollbar,
+the scrollbar disappeared and was not restored when Vim exits. This does work
+under NT 3.51, it appears not to be a Vim problem.
+
+When executing BufDelete and BufUnload autocommands for a buffer without a
+name, the name of the current buffer was used for <afile>.
+
+When jumping to a tag it reported "tag 1 of >2", while in fact there could be
+only two matches. Changed to "tag 1 of 2 or more".
+
+":tjump tag" did a linear search in the tags file, which can be slow.
+
+Configure didn't find "LibXm.so.2.0", a Xm library with a version number.
+
+Win32 GUI: When using a shifted key with ALT, the shift modifier would remain
+set, even when it was already used by changing the used key. E.g., "<M-S-9>"
+resulted in "<M-S-(>", but it should be "<M-(>". (Negri)
+
+A call to ga_init() was often followed by setting growsize and itemsize.
+Created ga_init2() for this, which looks better. (Aaron)
+
+Function filereadable() could call fopen() with an empty string, which might
+be illegal.
+
+X Windows GUI: When executing an external command that outputs text, could
+write one character beyond the end of a buffer, which caused a crash. (Kohan)
+
+When using "*" or "#" on a string that includes '/' or '?' (when these are
+included in 'isk'), they were not escaped. (Parmelan)
+
+When adding a ToolBar menu in the Motif GUI, the submenu_id field was not
+cleared, causing random problems.
+
+When adding a menu, the check if this menu (or submenu) name already exists
+didn't compare with the simplified version (no mnemonic or accelerator) of the
+new menu. Could get two menus with the same name, e.g., "File" and "&File".
+
+Breaking a line because of 'textwidth' at the last line in the window caused a
+redraw of the whole window instead of a scroll. Speeds up normal typing with
+'textwidth' a lot for slow terminals.
+
+An invalid line number produced an "invalid range" error, even when it wasn't
+to be executed (inside "if 0").
+
+When the unnamed, first buffer is re-used, the "BufDelete" autocommand was
+not called. It would stick in a buffer list menu.
+
+When doing "%" on the NUL after the line, a "{" or "}" in the last character
+of the line was not found.
+
+The Insert mode menu was not used for the "s" command, the Operator-pending
+menu was used instead.
+
+With 'compatible' set, some syntax highlighting was not correct, because of
+using "[\t]" for a search pattern. Now use the regexps for syntax
+highlighting like the 'cpoptions' option is empty (as was documented already).
+
+When using "map <M-Space> ms" or "map <Space> sss" the output of ":map" didn't
+show any lhs for the mapping (if 'isprint' includes 160). Now always use
+<Space> and <M-Space>, even when they are printable.
+
+Adjusted the Syntax menu, so that the lowest entry fits on a small screen (for
+Athena, where menus don't wrap).
+
+When using CTRL-E or CTRL-Y in Insert mode for characters like 'o', 'x' and
+digits, repeating the insert didn't work.
+
+The file "tools/ccfilter.README.txt" could not be unpacked when using short
+file names, because of the two dots. Renamed it to
+"tools/ccfilter_README.txt".
+
+For a dark 'background', using Blue for Directory and SpecialKey highlight
+groups is not very readable. Use Cyan instead.
+
+In the function uc_scan_attr() in ex_docmd.c there was a goto that jumped into
+a block with a local variable. That's illegal for some compilers.
+
+Win32 GUI: There was a row of pixels at the bottom of the window which was not
+drawn. (Aaron)
+
+Under DOS, editing "filename/" created a swap file of "filename/.swp". Should
+be "filename/_swp".
+
+Win32 GUI: pointer was hidden when executing an external command.
+
+When 'so' is 999, "J" near the end of the file didn't redisplay correctly.
+
+":0a" inserted after the first line, instead of before the first line.
+
+Unix: Wildcard expansion didn't handle single quotes and {} patterns. Now
+":file 'window.c'" removes the quotes and ":e 'main*.c'" works (literal '*').
+":file {o}{n}{e}" now results in file name "one".
+
+Memory leak when setting a string option back to its default value.
+
+==============================================================================
+VERSION 5.3 *version-5.3*
+
+Version 5.3 was a bug-fix version of 5.2. There are not many changes.
+Improvements made between version 5.2 and 5.3:
+
+Changed *changed-5.3*
+-------
+
+Renamed "IDE" menu to "Tools" menu.
+
+
+Added *added-5.3*
+-----
+
+Win32 GUI: Give a warning when Vim is activated, and one of the files changed
+since editing started. (Negri)
+
+
+Fixed *fixed-5.3*
+-----
+
+5.2.1: Win32 GUI: space for external command was not properly allocated, could
+cause a crash. (Aaron) This was the reason to bring out 5.3 quickly after
+5.2.
+
+5.2.2: Some commands didn't complain when used without an argument, although
+they need one: ":badd", ":browse", ":call", ":confirm", ":behave",
+":delfunction", ":delcommand" and ":tearoff".
+":endfunction" outside of a function gave wrong error message: "Command not
+implemented". Should be ":endfunction not inside a function".
+
+5.2.3: Win32 GUI: When gvim was installed in "Program files", or another path
+with a space in it, executing external commands with vimrun didn't work.
+
+5.2.4: Pasting with the mouse in Insert mode left the cursor on the last
+pasted character, instead of behind it.
+
+5.2.5: In Insert mode, cursor after the end of the line, a shift-cursor-left
+didn't include the last character in the selection.
+
+5.2.6: When deleting text from Insert mode (with "<C-O>D" or the mouse), which
+includes the last character in the line, the cursor could be left on the last
+character in the line, instead of just after it.
+
+5.2.7: Win32 GUI: scrollbar was one pixel too big.
+
+5.2.8: Completion of "PopUp" menu showed the derivatives "PopUpc", "PopUPi",
+etc. ":menu" also showed these.
+
+5.2.9: When using two input() functions on a row, the prompt would not be
+drawn in column 0.
+
+5.2.10: A loop with input() could not be broken with CTRL-C.
+
+5.2.11: ":call asdf" and ":call asdf(" didn't give an error message.
+
+5.2.12: Recursively using ":normal" crashes Vim after a while. E.g.:
+":map gq :normal gq<CR>"
+
+5.2.13: Syntax highlighting used 'iskeyword' from wrong buffer. When using
+":help", then "/\k*" in another window with 'hlsearch' set.
+
+5.2.14: When using ":source" from a function, global variables would not be
+available unless "g:" was used.
+
+5.2.15: XPM files can have the extension ".pm", which is the same as for Perl
+modules. Added "syntax/pmfile.vim" to handle this.
+
+5.2.16: On Win32 and Amiga, "echo expand("%:p:h")" removed one dirname in an
+empty buffer. mch_Fullname() didn't append a slash at the end of a directory
+name.
+
+Should include the character under the cursor in the Visual area when using
+'selection' "exclusive". This wasn't done for "%", "e", "E", "t" and "f".
+
+""p would always put register 0, instead of the unnamed (last used) register.
+Reverse the change that ""x doesn't write in the unnamed (last used) register.
+It would always write in register 0, which isn't very useful. Use "-x for the
+paste mappings in Visual mode.
+
+When there is one long line on the screen, and 'showcmd' is off, "0$" didn't
+redraw the screen.
+
+Win32 GUI: When using 'mousehide', the pointer would flicker when the cursor
+shape is changed. (Negri)
+
+When cancelling Visual mode, and the cursor moves to the start, the wanted
+column wasn't set, "k" or "j" moved to the wrong column.
+
+When using ":browse" or ":confirm", was checking for a comment and separating
+bar, which can break some commands.
+
+Included fixes for Macintosh. (Kielhorn)
+
+==============================================================================
+VERSION 5.4 *version-5.4*
+
+Version 5.4 adds new features, useful changes and a lot of bug fixes.
+
+
+Runtime directory introduced *new-runtime-dir*
+----------------------------
+
+The distributed runtime files are now in $VIMRUNTIME, the user files in $VIM.
+You normally don't set $VIMRUNTIME but let Vim find it, by using
+$VIM/vim{version}, or use $VIM when that doesn't exist. This allows for
+separating the user files from the distributed files and makes it more easy to
+upgrade to another version. It also makes it possible to keep two versions of
+Vim around, each with their own runtime files.
+
+In the Unix distribution the runtime files have been moved to the "runtime"
+directory. This makes it possible to copy all the runtime files at once,
+without the need to know what needs to be copied.
+
+The archives for DOS, Windows, Amiga and OS/2 now have an extra top-level
+"vim" directory. This is to make clear that user-modified files should be put
+here. The directory that contains the executables doesn't have '-' or '.'
+characters. This avoids strange extensions.
+
+The $VIM and $VIMRUNTIME variables are set when they are first used. This
+allows them to be used by Perl, for example.
+
+The runtime files are also found in a directory called "$VIM/runtime". This
+helps when running Vim after just unpacking the runtime archive. When using
+an executable in the "src" directory, Vim checks if "vim54" or "runtime" can
+be added after removing it. This make the runtime files be found just after
+compiling.
+
+A default for $VIMRUNTIME can be given in the Unix Makefile. This is useful
+if $VIM doesn't point to above the runtime directory but to e.g., "/etc/".
+
+
+Filetype introduced *new-filetype-5.4*
+-------------------
+
+Syntax files are now loaded with the new FileType autocommand. Old
+"mysyntaxfile" files will no longer work. |filetypes|
+
+The scripts for loading syntax highlighting have been changed to use the
+new Syntax autocommand event.
+
+This combination of Filetype and Syntax events allows tuning the syntax
+highlighting a bit more, also when selected from the Syntax menu. The
+FileType autocommand can also be used to set options and mappings specifically
+for that type of file.
+
+The "$VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim" file is not loaded automatically. The
+":filetype on" command has been added for this. ":syntax on" also loads it.
+
+The 'filetype' option has been added. It is used to trigger the FileType
+autocommand event, like the 'syntax' option does for the Syntax event.
+
+":set syntax=OFF" and ":set syntax=ON" can be used (in a modeline) to switch
+syntax highlighting on/off for the current file.
+
+The Syntax menu commands have been moved to $VIMRUNTIME/menu.vim. The Syntax
+menu is included both when ":filetype on" and when ":syntax manual" is used.
+
+Renamed the old 'filetype' option to 'osfiletype'. It was only used for
+RISCOS. 'filetype' is now used for the common file type.
+
+Added the ":syntax manual" command. Allows manual selection of the syntax to
+be used, e.g., from a modeline.
+
+
+Vim script line continuation *new-line-continuation*
+----------------------------
+
+When an Ex line starts with a backslash, it is concatenated to the previous
+line. This avoids the need for long lines. |line-continuation| (Roemer)
+Example: >
+ if has("dialog_con") ||
+ \ has("dialog_gui")
+ :let result = confirm("Enter your choice",
+ \ "&Yes\n&No\n&Maybe",
+ \ 2)
+ endif
+
+
+Improved session files *improved-sessions*
+----------------------
+
+New words for 'sessionoptions':
+- "help" Restore the help window.
+- "blank" Restore empty windows.
+- "winpos" Restore the Vim window position. Uses the new ":winpos"
+ command
+- "buffers" Restore hidden and unloaded buffers. Without it only the
+ buffers in windows are restored.
+- "slash" Replace backward by forward slashes in file names.
+- "globals" Store global variables.
+- "unix" Use unix file format (<NL> instead of <CR><NL>)
+
+The ":mksession" and 'sessionoptions' are now in the +mksession feature.
+
+The top line of the window is also restored when using a session file.
+
+":mksession" and ":mkvimrc" don't store 'fileformat', it should be detected
+when loading a file.
+
+(Most of this was done by Vince Negri and Robert Webb)
+
+
+Autocommands improved *improved-autocmds-5.4*
+---------------------
+
+New events:
+|FileType| When the file type has been detected.
+|FocusGained| When Vim got input focus. (Negri)
+|FocusLost| When Vim lost input focus. (Negri)
+|BufCreate| Called just after a new buffer has been created or has been
+ renamed. (Madsen)
+|CursorHold| Triggered when no key has been typed for 'updatetime'. Can be
+ used to do something with the word under the cursor. (Negri)
+ Implemented CursorHold autocommand event for Unix. (Zellner)
+ Also for Amiga and MS-DOS.
+|GUIEnter| Can be used to do something with the GUI window after it has
+ been created (e.g., a ":winpos 100 50").
+|BufHidden| When a buffer becomes hidden. Used to delete the
+ option-window when it becomes hidden.
+
+Also trigger |BufDelete| just before a buffer is going to be renamed. (Madsen)
+
+The "<amatch>" pattern can be used like "<afile>" for autocommands, except
+that it is the matching value for the FileType and Syntax events.
+
+When ":let @/ = <string>" is used in an autocommand, this last search pattern
+will be used after the autocommand finishes.
+
+Made loading autocommands a bit faster. Avoid doing strlen() on each exiting
+pattern for each new pattern by remembering the length.
+
+
+Encryption *new-encryption*
+----------
+
+Files can be encrypted when writing and decrypted when reading. Added the
+'key' option, "-x" command line argument and ":X" command. |encryption| (based
+on patch from Mohsin Ahmed)
+
+When reading a file, there is an automatic detection whether it has been
+encrypted. Vim will then prompt for the key.
+
+Note that the encryption method is not compatible with Vi. The encryption is
+not unbreakable. This allows it to be exported from the US.
+
+
+GTK GUI port *new-GTK-GUI*
+------------
+
+New GUI port for GTK+. Includes a toolbar, menu tearoffs, etc. |gui-gtk|
+Added the |:helpfind| command. (Kahn and Dalecki)
+
+
+Menu changes *menu-changes-5.4*
+------------
+
+Menus can now also be used in the console. It is enabled by the new
+'wildmenu' option. This shows matches for command-line completion like a
+menu. This works as a minimal file browser.
+
+The new |:emenu| command can be used to execute a menu item.
+
+Uses the last status line to list items, or inserts a line just above the
+command line. (Negri)
+
+The 'wildcharx' option can be used to trigger 'wildmenu' completion from a
+mapping.
+
+When compiled without menus, this can be detected with has("menu"). Also show
+this in the ":version" output. Allow compiling GUI versions without menu
+support. Only include toolbar support when there is menu support.
+
+Moved the "Window" menu all the way to the right (priority 70). Looks more
+familiar for people working with MS-Windows, shouldn't matter for others.
+
+Included "Buffers" menu. Works with existing autocommands and functions. It
+can be disabled by setting the "no_buffers_menu" variable. (Aaron and Madsen)
+
+Win32 supports separators in a menu: "-.*-". (Geddes)
+Menu separators for Motif now work too.
+
+Made Popup menu for Motif GUI work. (Madsen)
+
+'M' flag in 'guioptions': Don't source the system menu.
+
+All the menu code has been moved from gui.c to menu.c.
+
+
+Viminfo improved *improved-viminfo*
+----------------
+
+New flags for 'viminfo':
+'!' Store global variables in the viminfo file if they are in uppercase
+ letters. (Negri)
+'h' Do ":nohlsearch" when loading a viminfo file.
+
+Store search patterns in the viminfo file with their offset, magic, etc. Also
+store the flag whether 'hlsearch' highlighting is on or off (which is not used
+if the 'h' flag is in 'viminfo').
+
+Give an error message when setting 'viminfo' without commas.
+
+
+Various new commands *new-commands-5.4*
+--------------------
+
+Operator |g?|: rot13 encoding. (Negri)
+
+|zH| and |zL| commands: Horizontal scrolling by half a page.
+|gm| move cursor to middle of screen line. (Ideas by Campbell)
+
+Operations on Visual blocks: |v_b_I|, |v_b_A|, |v_b_c|, |v_b_C|, |v_b_r|,
+|v_b_<| and |v_b_>|. (Kelly)
+
+New command: CTRL-\ CTRL-N, which does nothing in Normal mode, and goes to
+Normal mode when in Insert or Command-line mode. Can be used by VisVim or
+other OLE programs to make sure Vim is in Normal mode, without causing a beep.
+|CTRL-\_CTRL-N|
+
+":cscope kill" command to use the connection filename. |:cscope| (Kahn)
+
+|:startinsert| command: Start Insert mode next.
+
+|:history| command, to show all four types of histories. (Roemer)
+
+|[m|, |[M|, |]m| and |]M| commands, for jumping backward/forward to start/end
+of method in a (Java) class.
+
+":@*" executes the * register. |:@| (Acevedo)
+
+|go| and |:goto| commands: Jump to byte offset in the file.
+
+|gR| and |gr| command: Virtual Replace mode. Replace characters without
+changing the layout. (Webb)
+
+":cd -" changes to the directory from before the previous ":cd" command.
+|:cd-| (Webb)
+
+Tag preview commands |:ptag|. Shows the result of a ":tag" in a dedicated
+window. Can be used to see the context of the tag (e.g., function arguments).
+(Negri)
+|:pclose| command, and CTRL-W CTRL-Z: Close preview window. (Moore)
+'previewheight' option, height for the preview window.
+Also |:ppop|, |:ptnext|, |:ptprevious|, |:ptNext|, |:ptrewind|, |:ptlast|.
+
+|:find| and |:sfind| commands: Find a file in 'path', (split window) and edit
+it.
+
+The |:options| command opens an option window that shows the current option
+values. Or use ":browse set" to open it. Options are grouped by function.
+Offers short help on each option. Hit <CR> to jump to more help. Edit the
+option value and hit <CR> on a "set" line to set a new value.
+
+
+Various new options *new-options-5.4*
+-------------------
+
+Scroll-binding: 'scrollbind' and 'scrollopt' options. Added |:syncbind|
+command. Makes windows scroll the same amount (horizontally and/or
+vertically). (Ralston)
+
+'conskey' option for MS-DOS. Use direct console I/O. This should work with
+telnet (untested!).
+
+'statusline' option: Configurable contents of the status line. Also allows
+showing the byte offset in the file. Highlighting with %1* to %9*, using the
+new highlight groups User1 to User9. (Madsen)
+
+'rulerformat' option: Configurable contents of the ruler, like 'statusline'.
+(Madsen)
+
+'write' option: When off, writing files is not allowed. Avoids overwriting a
+file even with ":w!". The |-m| command line option resets 'write'.
+
+'clipboard' option: How the clipboard is used. Value "unnamed": Use unnamed
+register like "*. (Cortopassi) Value "autoselect": Like what 'a' in
+'guioptions' does but works in the terminal.
+
+'guifontset' option: Specify fonts for the +fontset feature, for the X11 GUI
+versions. Allows using normal fonts when vim is compiled with this feature.
+(Nam)
+
+'guiheadroom' option: How much room to allow above/below the GUI window.
+Used for Motif, Athena and GTK.
+
+Implemented 'tagstack' option: When off, pushing tags onto the stack is
+disabled (Vi compatible). Useful for mappings.
+
+'shellslash' option. Only for systems that use a backslash as a file
+separator. This option will use a forward slash in file names when expanding
+it. Useful when 'shell' is sh or csh.
+
+'pastetoggle' option: Key sequence that toggles 'paste'. Works around the
+problem that mappings don't work in Insert mode when 'paste' is set.
+
+'display' option: When set to "lastline", the last line fills the window,
+instead of being replaced with "@" lines. Only the last three characters are
+replaced with "@@@", to indicate that the line has not finished yet.
+
+'switchbuf' option: Allows re-using existing windows on a buffer that is being
+jumped to, or split the window to open a new buffer. (Roemer)
+
+'titleold' option. Replaces the fixed string "Thanks for flying Vim", which
+is used to set the title when exiting. (Schild)
+
+
+Vim scripts *new-script-5.4*
+-----------
+
+The |exists()| function can also check for existence of a function. (Roemer)
+An internal function is now found with a binary search, should be a bit
+faster. (Roemer)
+
+New functions:
+- |getwinposx()| and |getwinposy()|: get Vim window position. (Webb)
+- |histnr()|, |histadd()|, |histget()| and |histdel()|: Make history
+ available. (Roemer)
+- |maparg()|: Returns rhs of a mapping. Based on a patch from Vikas.
+- |mapcheck()|: Check if a map name matches with an existing one.
+- |visualmode()|: Return type of last Visual mode. (Webb)
+- |libcall()|: Call a function in a library. Currently only for Win32. (Negri)
+- |bufwinnr()|: find window that contains the specified buffer. (Roemer)
+- |bufloaded()|: Whether a buffer exists and is loaded.
+- |localtime()| and |getftime()|: wall clock time and last modification time
+ of a file (Webb)
+- |glob()|: expand file name wildcards only.
+- |system()|: get the raw output of an external command. (based on a patch
+ from Aaron).
+- |strtrans()|: Translate String into printable characters. Used for
+ 2html.vim script.
+- |append()|: easy way to append a line of text in a buffer.
+
+Changed functions:
+- Optional argument to |strftime()| to give the time in seconds. (Webb)
+- |expand()| now also returns names for files that don't exist.
+
+Allow numbers in the name of a user command. (Webb)
+
+Use "v:" for internal Vim variables: "v:errmsg", "v:shell_error", etc. The
+ones from version 5.3 can be used without "v:" too, for backwards
+compatibility.
+
+New variables:
+"v:warningmsg" and "v:statusmsg" internal variables. Contain the last given
+warning and status message. |v:warningmsg| |v:statusmsg| (Madsen)
+"v:count1" variable: like "v:count", but defaults to one when no count is
+used. |v:count1|
+
+When compiling without expression evaluation, "if 1" can be used around the
+not supported commands to avoid it being executed. Works like in Vim 4.x.
+Some of the runtime scripts gave errors when used with a Vim that was compiled
+with minimal features. Now "if 1" is used around code that is not always
+supported.
+
+When evaluating an expression with && and ||, skip the parts that will not
+influence the outcome. This makes it faster and avoids error messages. (Webb)
+Also optimized the skipping of expressions inside an "if 0".
+
+
+Avoid hit-enter prompt *avoid-hit-enter*
+-----------------------
+
+Added 'T' flag to 'shortmess': Truncate all messages that would cause the
+hit-enter prompt (unless that would happen anyway).
+The 'O' flag in 'shortmess' now also applies to quickfix messages, e.g., from
+the ":cn" command.
+
+The default for 'shortmess' is now "filnxtToO", to make most messages fit on
+the command line, and not cause the hit-enter prompt.
+
+Previous messages can be viewed with the new |:messages| command.
+
+Some messages are shown fully, even when 'shortmess' tells to shorten
+messages, because the user is expected to want to see them in full: CTRL-G and
+some quickfix commands.
+
+
+Improved quickfix *improved-quickfix*
+-----------------
+
+Parse change-directory lines for gmake: "make[1]: Entering directory 'name'".
+Uses "%D" and "%X" in 'errorformat'.
+Also parse "Making {target} in {dir}" messages from make. Helps when not
+using GNU make. (Schandl)
+
+Use 'isfname' for "%f" in 'errorformat'.
+
+Parsing of multi-line messages. |errorformat-multi-line|
+
+Allow a range for the |:clist| command. (Roemer)
+
+Support for "global" file names, for error formats that output the file name
+once for several errors. (Roemer)
+
+|:cnfile| jumps to first error in next file.
+
+"$*" in 'makeprg' is replaced by arguments to ":make". (Roemer)
+
+
+Regular expressions *regexp-changes-5.4*
+-------------------
+
+In a regexp, a '$' before "\)" is also considered to be an end-of-line. |/$|
+In patterns "^" after "\|" or "\(" is a start-of-line. |/^| (Robinson)
+
+In a regexp, in front of "\)" and "\|" both "$" and "\$" were considered
+end-of-line. Now use "$" as end-of-line and "\$" for a literal dollar. Same
+for '^' after "\(" and "\|". |/\$| |/\^|
+
+Some search patterns can be extremely slow, even though they are not really
+illegal. For example: "\([^a-z]\+\)\+Q". Allow interrupting any regexp
+search with CTRL-C.
+
+Register "/: last search string (read-only). (Kohan) Changed to use last used
+search pattern (like what 'hlsearch' uses). Can set the search pattern with
+":let @/ = {expr}".
+
+Added character classes to search patterns, to avoid the need for removing the
+'l' flag from 'cpoptions': |[:tab:]|, |[:return:]|, |[:backspace:]| and
+|[:escape:]|.
+
+By adding a '?' after a comparative operator in an expression, the comparison
+is done by ignoring case. |expr-==?|
+
+
+Other improvements made between version 5.3 and 5.4
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Changed *changed-5.4*
+-------
+
+Unix: Use $TMPDIR for temporary files, if it is set and exists.
+
+Removed "Empty buffer" message. It isn't useful and can cause a hit-enter
+prompt. (Negri)
+
+"ex -" now reads commands from stdin and works in silent mode. This is to be
+compatible with the original "ex" command that is used for scripts.
+
+Default range for ":tcldo" is the whole file.
+
+Cancelling Visual mode with ESC moved the cursor. There appears to be no
+reason for this. Now leave the cursor where it is.
+
+The ":grep" and ":make" commands see " as part of the arguments, instead of
+the start of a comment.
+
+In expressions the "=~" and "!~" operators no longer are affected by
+'ignorecase'.
+
+Renamed vimrc_example to vimrc_example.vim and gvimrc_example to
+gvimrc_example.vim. Makes them being recognized as vim scripts.
+
+"gd" no longer starts searching at the end of the previous function, but at
+the first blank line above the start of the current function. Avoids that
+using "gd" in the first function finds global a variable.
+
+Default for 'complete' changed from ".,b" to ".,w,b,u,t,i". Many more matches
+will be found, at the cost of time (the search can be interrupted).
+
+It is no longer possible to set 'shell*' options from a modeline. Previously
+only a warning message was given. This reduces security risks.
+
+The ordering of the index of documentation files was changed to make it more
+easy to find a subject.
+
+On MS-DOS and win32, when $VIM was not set, $HOME was used. This caused
+trouble if $HOME was set to e.g., "C:\" for some other tool, the runtime files
+would not be found. Now use $HOME only for _vimrc, _gvimrc, etc., not to find
+the runtime file.
+
+When 'tags' is "./{fname}" and there is no file name for the current buffer,
+just use it. Previously it was skipped, causing "vim -t {tag}" not to find
+many tags.
+
+When trying to select text in the 'scrolloff' area by mouse dragging, the
+resulting scrolling made this difficult. Now 'scrolloff' is temporarily set
+to 0 or 1 to avoid this. But still allow scrolling in the top line to extend
+to above the displayed text.
+
+Default for 'comments' now includes "sl:/*,mb: *,ex:*/", to make javadoc
+comments work. Also helps for C comments that start with "/*******".
+
+CTRL-X CTRL-] Insert mode tag expansion tried to expand to all tags when used
+after a non-ID character, which can take a very long time. Now limit this to
+200 matches. Also used for command-line tag completion.
+
+The OS/2 distribution has been split in two files. It was too big to fit on a
+floppy. The same runtime archive as for the PC is now used.
+
+In the documentation, items like <a-z> have been replaced with {a-z} for
+non-optional arguments. This avoids confusion with key names: <C-Z> is a
+CTRL-Z, not a character between C and Z, that is {C-Z}.
+
+
+Added *added-5.4*
+-----
+
+Color support for the iris-ansi builtin termcap entry. (Tubman)
+
+Included VisVim version 1.3a. (Erhardt)
+
+Win32 port for SNiFF+ interface. (Leherbauer)
+Documentation file for sniff interface: if_sniff.txt. (Leherbauer)
+
+Included the "SendToVim" and "OpenWithVim" programs in the OleVim directory.
+To be used with the OLE version of gvim under MS-Windows. (Schaller)
+
+Included Exuberant Ctags version 3.2.4 with Eiffel support. (Hiebert)
+
+When a file that is being edited is deleted, give a warning (like when the
+time stamp changed).
+
+Included newer versions of the HTML-generating Awk and Perl scripts. (Colombo)
+
+Linux console mouse support through "gpm". (Tsindlekht)
+
+Security fix: Disallow changing 'secure' and 'exrc' from a modeline. When
+'secure' is set, give a warning for changing options that contain a program
+name.
+
+Made the Perl interface work with Perl 5.005 and threads. (Verdoolaege)
+
+When giving an error message for an ambiguous mapping, include the offending
+mapping. (Roemer)
+
+Command line editing:
+- Command line completion of mappings. (Roemer)
+- Command line completion for ":function", ":delfunction", ":let", ":call",
+ ":if", etc. (Roemer)
+- When using CTRL-D completion for user commands that have
+ "-complete=tag_listfiles" also list the file names. (Madsen)
+- Complete the arguments of the ":command" command. (Webb)
+- CTRL-R . in command line inserts last inserted text. CTRL-F, CTRL-P, CTRL-W
+ and CTRL-A after CTRL-R are used to insert an object from under the cursor.
+ (Madsen)
+
+Made the text in uganda.txt about copying Vim a bit more clear.
+
+Updated the Vim tutor. Added the "vimtutor" command, which copies the tutor
+and starts Vim on it. "make install" now also copies the tutor.
+
+In the output of ":clist" the current entry is highlighted, with the 'i'
+highlighting (same as used for 'incsearch').
+
+For the ":clist" command, you can scroll backwards with "b" (one screenful),
+"u" (half a screenful) and "k" (one line).
+
+Multi-byte support:
+- X-input method for multibyte characters. And various fixes for multibyte
+ support. (Nam)
+- Hangul input method feature: |hangul|. (Nam)
+- Cleaned up configuration of multibyte support, XIM, fontset and Hangul
+ input. Each is now configurable separately.
+- Changed check for GTK_KEYBOARD to HANGUL_KEYBOARD_TYPE. (Nam)
+- Added doc/hangulin.txt: Documentation for the Hangul input code. (Nam)
+- XIM support for GTK+. (Nam)
+- First attempt to include support for SJIS encoding. (Nagano)
+- When a double-byte character doesn't fit at the end of the line, put a "~"
+ there and print it on the next line.
+- Optimize output of multibyte text. (Park)
+- Win32 IME: preedit style is like over-the-spot. (Nagano)
+- Win32 IME: IME mode change now done with ImmSetOpenStatus. (Nagano)
+- GUI Athena: file selection dialog can display multibyte characters.
+ (Nagano)
+- Selection reply for XA_TEXT as XA_STRING. (Nagano)
+
+"runtime/macros/diffwin.vim". Mappings to make a diff window. (Campbell)
+
+Added ".obj" to the 'suffixes' option.
+
+Reduced size of syntax/synload.vim by using the ":SynAu" user command.
+Automated numbering of Syntax menu entries in menu.vim.
+In the Syntax menu, insert separators between syntax names that start with
+a different letter. (Geddes)
+
+Xterm:
+- Clipboard support when using the mouse in an xterm. (Madsen)
+- When using the xterm mouse, track dragging of the mouse. Use xterm escape
+ sequences when possible. It is more precise than other methods, but
+ requires a fairly recent xterm version. It is enabled with "xterm2" in
+ 'ttymouse'. (Madsen)
+- Check xterm patch level, to set the value of 'ttymouse'. Has only been
+ added to xterm recently (patch level > 95). Uses the new 't_RV' termcap
+ option. Set 'ttymouse' to "xterm2" when a correct response is recognized.
+ Will make xterm mouse dragging work better.
+- Support for shifted function keys on xterm. Changed codes for shifted
+ cursor keys to what the xterm actually produces. Added codes for shifted
+ <End> and <Home>.
+- Added 't_WP' to set the window position in pixels and 't_WS' to set the
+ window size in characters. Xterm can now move (used for ":winpos") and
+ resize (use for ":set lines=" and ":set columns=").
+
+X11:
+- When in Visual mode but not owning the selection, display the Visual area
+ with the VisualNOS group to show this. (Madsen)
+- Support for requesting the type of clipboard support. Used for AIX and
+ dtterm. (Wittig)
+- Support compound_text selection (even when compiled without multibyte).
+
+Swap file:
+- New variation for naming swap files: Replace path separators into %, place
+ all swap files in one directory. Used when a name in 'dir' ends in two path
+ separators. (Madsen)
+- When a swap file is found, show whether it contains modifications or not in
+ the informative message. (Madsen)
+- When dialogs are supported, use a dialog to ask the user what to do when a
+ swapfile already exists.
+
+"popup_setpos" in 'mousemodel' option. Allows for moving the cursor when
+using the right mouse button.
+
+When a buffer is deleted, the selection for which buffer to display instead
+now uses the most recent entry from the jump list. (Madsen)
+
+When using CTRL-O/CTRL-I, skip deleted buffers.
+
+A percentage is shown in the ruler, when there is room.
+
+Used autoconf 1.13 to generate configure.
+
+Included get_lisp_indent() from Dirk van Deun. Does better Lisp indenting
+when 'p' flag in 'cpoptions' is not included.
+
+Made the 2html.vim script quite a bit faster. (based on ideas from Geddes)
+
+Unix:
+- Included the name of the user that compiled Vim and the system name it was
+ compiled on in the version message.
+- "make install" now also installs the "tools" directory. Makes them
+ available for everybody.
+- "make check" now does the same as "make test". "make test" checks for
+ Visual block mode shift, insert, replace and change.
+- Speed up comparing a file name with existing buffers by storing the
+ device/inode number with the buffer.
+- Added configure arguments "--disable-gtk", "--disable-motif" and
+ "--disable-athena", to be able to disable a specific GUI (when it doesn't
+ work).
+- Renamed the configure arguments for disabling the check for specific GUIs.
+ Should be clearer now. (Kahn)
+- On a Digital Unix system ("OSF1") check for the curses library before
+ termlib and termcap. (Schild)
+- "make uninstall_runtime" will only delete the version-specific files. Can
+ be used to delete the runtime files of a previous version.
+
+Macintosh: (St-Amant)
+- Dragging the scrollbar, like it's done for the Win32 GUI. Moved common code
+ from gui_w32.c to gui.c
+- Added dialogs and file browsing.
+- Resource fork preserved, warning when it will be lost.
+- Copy original file attributes to newly written file.
+- Set title/notitle bug solved.
+- Filename completion improved.
+- Grow box limit resize to a char by char size.
+- Use of rgb.txt for more colors (but give back bad color).
+- Apple menu works (beside the about...).
+- Internal border now vim compliant.
+- Removing a menu doesn't crash anymore.
+- Weak-linking of Python 1.5.1 (only on PPC). Python is supported when the
+ library is available.
+- If an error is encountered when sourcing the users .vimrc, the alert box now
+ shows right away with the OK button defaulted. There's no more "Delete"-key
+ sign at the start of each line
+- Better management of environment variables. Now $VIM is calculated only
+ once, not regenerated every time it is used.
+- No more CPU hog when in background.
+- In a sourced Vim script the Mac file format can be recognized, just like DOS
+ file format is.
+
+When both "unix" and "mac" are present in 'fileformats', prefer "mac" format
+when there are more CR than NL characters.
+When using "mac" fileformat, use CR instead of a NL, because NL is used for
+NUL. Will preserve all characters in a file. (Madsen)
+
+The DOS install.exe now contains checks for an existing installation. It
+avoids setting $VIM and $PATH again.
+The install program for Dos/Windows can now install Vim in the popup menu, by
+adding two registry keys.
+
+Port to EGCS/mingw32. New Makefile.ming. (Aaron)
+
+DOS 16 bit: Don't include cursor shape stuff. Save some bytes.
+
+TCL support to Makefile.w32. (Duperval)
+
+OS/2: Use argv[0] to find runtime files.
+
+When using "gf" to go to a buffer that has already been used, jump to the
+line where the cursor last was.
+
+Colored the output of ":tselect" a bit more. Different highlighting between
+tag name and file name. Highlight field name ("struct:") separately from
+argument.
+
+Backtick expansion for non-Unix systems. Based on a patch from Aaron.
+Allows the use of things like ":n `grep -l test *.c`" and
+"echo expand('`ls m*`')".
+
+Check for the 'complete' option when it is set. (Acevedo)
+'d' flag in 'complete' searches for defined names or macros.
+While searching for Insert mode completions in include files and tags files,
+check for typeahead, so that you can use matches early. (Webb)
+The '.' flag in 'complete' now scans the current buffer completely, ignoring
+'nowrapscan'. (Webb)
+
+Added '~' flag to 'whichwrap'. (Acevedo)
+
+When ending the Visual mode (e.g., with ESC) don't grab ownership of the
+selection.
+
+In a color terminal, "fg" and "bg" can be used as color names. They stand for
+the "Normal" colors.
+
+A few cscope cleanups. (Kahn)
+
+Included changed vimspell.sh from Schemenauer.
+
+Concatenation of strings in an expression with "." is a bit faster. (Roemer)
+
+The ":redir" command can now redirect to a register: ":redir @r". (Roemer)
+
+Made the output of ":marks" and ":jumps" look similar. When the mark is in
+the current file, show the text at the mark. Also for ":tags".
+
+When configure finds ftello() and fseeko(), they are used in tag.c (for when
+you have extremely big tags files).
+
+Configure check for "-FOlimit,2000" argument for the compiler. (Borsenkow)
+
+GUI:
+- When using ":gui" in a non-GUI Vim, give a clear error message.
+- "gvim -v" doesn't start the GUI (if console support is present).
+- When in Ex mode, use non-Visual selection for the whole screen.
+- When starting with "gvim -f" and using ":gui" in the .gvimrc file, Vim
+ forked anyway. Now the "-f" flag is remembered for ":gui". Added "gui -b"
+ to run gvim in the background anyway.
+
+Motif GUI:
+- Check for "-lXp" library in configure (but it doesn't work yet...).
+- Let configure check for Lesstif in "/usr/local/Lesstif/Motif*". Changed the
+ order to let a local Motif version override a system standard version.
+
+Win32 GUI:
+- When using "-register" or "-unregister" in the non-OLE version, give an
+ error message.
+- Use GTK toolbar icons. Make window border look better. Use sizing handles
+ on the lower left&right corners of the window. (Negri)
+- When starting an external command with ":!start" and the command can not be
+ executed, give an error message. (Webb)
+- Use sizing handles for the grey rectangles below the scrollbars. Can draw
+ toolbar in flat mode now, looks better. (Negri)
+- Preparations for MS-Windows 3.1 addition. Mostly changing WIN32 to MSWIN
+ and USE_GUI_WIN32 to USE_GUI_MSWIN. (Negri)
+
+Avoid allocating the same string four times in buflist_findpat(). (Williams)
+
+Set title and icon text with termcap options 't_ts', 't_fs', 't_IS' and
+'t_IE'. Allows doing this on any terminal that supports setting the title
+and/or icon text. (Schild)
+
+New 'x' flag in 'comments': Automatically insert the end part when its last
+character is typed. Helps to close a /* */ comment in C. (Webb)
+
+When expand() has a second argument which is non-zero, don't use 'suffixes'
+and 'wildignore', return all matches.
+
+'O' flag in 'cpoptions' When not included, Vim will not overwrite a file, if
+it didn't exist when editing started but it does exist when the buffer is
+written to the file. The file must have been created outside of Vim, possibly
+without the user knowing it. When this is detected after a shell command,
+give a warning message.
+
+When editing a new file, CTRL-G will show [New file]. When there were errors
+while reading the file, CTRL-G will show [Read errors].
+
+":wall" can now use a dialog and file-browsing when needed.
+
+Grouped functionality into new features, mainly to reduce the size of the
+minimal version:
++linebreak: 'showbreak', 'breakat' and 'linebreak'
++visualextra: "I"nsert and "A"ppend in Visual block mode, "c"hange all lines
+ in a block, ">" and "<": Shifting a block, "r": Replacing a
+ Visual area with one character.
++comments: 'comments'
++cmdline_info: 'ruler' and 'showcmd'. Replaces +showcmd.
+"+title" Don't add code to set title or icon for MSDOS, this was not
+ possible anyway.
++cmdline_compl Disable commandline completion at compile time, except for
+ files, directories and help items.
+
+Moved features from a list of function calls into an array. Should save a bit
+of space.
+
+While entering the body of a function, adjust indent according to "if" and
+"while" commands.
+
+VMS: Adjusted os_vms.mms a bit according to suggestions from Arpadffy.
+
+The flags in the 'comments' option can now include an offset. This makes it
+possible to align "/*****", "/* xxx" and "/*" comments with the same
+'comments' setting. The default value for 'comments' uses this.
+Added 'O' flag: Don't use this part for the "O" command. Useful for "set
+com=sO:*\ -,mO:*\ \ ,exO:*/"
+
+FileType autocommands recognize ".bak", ".orig" and "~" extensions and remove
+them to find the relevant extension.
+
+The tutorial for writing a Vim script file has been extended.
+
+Some more highlighting in help files, for items that are not typed literally.
+
+Can use "CTRL-W CTRL-G" like "CTRL-W g".
+
+"make test" for OS/2.
+
+Adjusted configure to automatically use the GUI for BeOS.
+
+
+Fixed *fixed-5.4*
+-----
+
+5.3.1: When using an autocommand for BufWritePre that changes the name of the
+buffer, freed memory would be used. (Geddes)
+
+Mac: Compiler didn't understand start of skip_class_name().
+
+Win32 GUI:
+- When cancelling the font requester, don't give an error message.
+- When a tearoff-menu is open and its menu is deleted, Vim could crash.
+ (Negri)
+- There was a problem on Windows 95 with (un)maximizing the window.
+ (Williams)
+- when 'mousehide' is set, the mouse would stay hidden when a menu is dropped
+ with the keyboard. (Ralston)
+- The tempname() function already created the file. Caused problems when
+ using ":w". Now the file is deleted.
+- Cursor disappeared when ending up in the top-left character on the screen
+ after scrolling. (Webb)
+- When adding a submenu for a torn-off menu, it was not updated.
+- Menu tooltip was using the toolbar tooltip. (Negri)
+- Setting 'notitle' didn't remove the title. (Steed)
+- Using ":!start cmd" scrolled the screen one line up, and didn't wait for
+ return when the command wasn't found.
+
+Cscope interface: Sorting of matches was wrong. Starting the interface could
+fail. (Kahn)
+
+Motif GUI: Could not compile with Motif 1.1, because some tear-off
+functionality was not in #ifdefs.
+
+Configure could sometimes not compile or link the test program for sizeof(int)
+properly. This caused alignment problems for the undo structure allocations.
+Added a safety check that SIZEOF_INT is not zero.
+
+Added configure check to test if strings.h can be included after string.h.
+Some systems can't handle it.
+Some systems need both string.h and strings.h included. Adjusted vim.h for
+that. Removed including string.h from os_unixx.h, since it's already in
+vim.h. (Savage)
+AIX: defining _NO_PROTO in os_unix.h causes a conflict between string.h and
+strings.h, but after the configure check said it was OK. Also define
+_NO_PROTO for AIX in the configure check. (Winn)
+
+When closing a window with CTRL-W c, the value of 'hidden' was not taken into
+account, the buffer was always unloaded. (Negri)
+
+Unix Makefile: "make install" always tried to rename an older executable and
+remove it. This caused an error message when it didn't exit. Added a check
+for the existence of an old executable.
+The command line for "make install" could get too long, because of the many
+syntax files. Now first do a "cd" to reduce the length.
+
+On RISCOS and MSDOS, reading a file could fail, because the short filename was
+used, which can be wrong after a ":!cd".
+
+In the DOS versions, the wrong install.exe was included (required Windows).
+Now the install.exe version is included that is the same as the Vim version.
+This also supports long file names where possible.
+
+When recording, and stopping while in Insert mode with CTRL-O q, the CTRL-O
+would also be recorded.
+
+32bit DOS version: "vim \file", while in a subdirectory, resulted in "new
+file" for "file" in the local directory, while "\file" did exist. When
+"file" in the current directory existed, this didn't happen.
+
+MSDOS: Mouse could not go beyond 80 columns in 132 columns mode. (Young)
+
+"make test" failed in the RedHat RPM, because compatible is off by default.
+
+In Insert mode <C-O><C-W><C-W> changes to other window, but the status bars
+were not updated until another character was typed.
+
+MSDOS: environment options in lowercase didn't work, although they did in the
+Win32 versions. (Negri)
+
+After ":nohlsearch", a tag command switched highlighting back on.
+
+When using "append" command as the last line in an autocommand, Vim would
+crash.
+
+RISCOS: The scroll bumpers (?) were not working properly. (Leonard)
+
+"zl" and "zh" could move the cursor, but this didn't set the column in which
+e.g., "k" would move the cursor.
+
+When doing ":set all&" the value of 'scroll' was not set correctly. This
+caused an error message when later setting any other number option.
+
+When 'hlsearch' highlighting has been disabled with ":nohlsearch",
+incremental searching would switch it back on too early.
+
+When listing tags for ":tselect", and using a non-search command, and the last
+character was equal to the first (e.g., "99"), the last char would not be
+shown.
+
+When searching for tags with ":tag" Vim would assume that all matches had been
+found when there were still more (e.g. from another tags file).
+
+Win32: Didn't recognize "c:\" (e.g., in tags file) as absolute path when
+upper/lowercase was different.
+
+Some xterms (Debian) send <Esc>OH for HOME and <Esc>OF for END. Added these
+to the builtin-xterm.
+
+In ex mode, any CR was seen as the end of the line. Only a NL should be
+handled that way. broke ":s/foo/some^Mtext/".
+
+In menu.vim, a vmenu was used to override an amenu. That didn't work, because
+the system menu file doesn't overwrite existing menus. Added explicit vunmenu
+to solve this.
+
+Configure check for terminal library could find a library that doesn't work at
+runtime (Solaris: shared library not found). Added a check that a program
+with tgoto() can run correctly.
+
+Unix: "echo -n" in the Makefile doesn't work on all systems, causing errors
+compiling pathdef.c. Replaced it with "tr".
+
+Perl: DO_JOIN was redefined by Perl. Undefined it in the perl files.
+
+Various XIM and multibyte fixes:
+- Fix user cannot see his language while he is typing his language with
+ off-the-spot method. (Nagano)
+- Fix preedit position using text/edit area (using gui.wid). (Nagano)
+- remove 'fix dead key' codes. It was needed since XNFocusWindow was
+ "x11_window", XNFocusWindow is now gui.wid. (Nagano)
+- Remove some compile warnings and fix typos. (Namsh)
+- For status area, check the gtk+ version while Vim runs. I believe it is
+ better than compile time check. (Namsh)
+- Remove one FIXME for gtk+-xim. (Namsh)
+- XIM: Dead keys didn't work for Czech. (Vyskovsky)
+- Multibyte: If user input only 3byte such as mb1_mb2_eng or eng_mb1_mb2 VIM
+ could convert it to special character. (Nam)
+- Athena/Motif with XIM: fix preedit area. (Nam)
+- XIM: Composed strings were sometimes ignored. Vim crashed when compose
+ string was longer than 256 bytes. IM's geometry control is fixed. (Nam,
+ Nagano)
+- Win32 multibyte: hollowed cursor width on a double byte char was wrong.
+ (Nagano)
+- When there is no GUI, selecting XIM caused compilation problems.
+ Automatically disable XIM when there is no GUI in configure.
+- Motif and Athena: When compiled with XIM, but the input method was not
+ enabled, there would still be a status line. Now the status line is gone if
+ the input method doesn't work. (Nam)
+
+Win32: tooltip was not removed when selecting a parent menu (it was when
+selecting a menu entry). (Negri)
+
+Unix with X: Some systems crash on exit, because of the XtCloseDisplay() call.
+Removed it, it should not be necessary when exiting.
+
+Win32: Crash on keypress when compiled with Borland C++. (Aaron)
+
+When checking for Motif library files, prefer the same location as the include
+files (with "include" replaced with "lib") above another entry.
+
+Athena GUI: Changed "XtOffset()" in gui_at_fs.c to "XtOffsetOf()", like it's
+used in gui_x11.c.
+
+Win32: When testing for a timestamp of a file on floppy, would get a dialog
+box when the floppy has been removed. Now return with an error. (Negri)
+
+Win32 OLE: When forced to come to the foreground, a minimized window was still
+minimized, now it's restored. (Zivkov)
+
+There was no check for a positive 'shiftwidth'. A negative value could cause
+a hangup, a zero value a crash.
+
+Athena GUI: horizontal scrollbar wasn't updated correctly when clicking right
+or left of the thumb.
+
+When making a Visual-block selection in one window, and trying to scroll
+another, could cause errors for accessing non-existent line numbers.
+
+When 'matchpairs' contains "`:'", jumping from the ` to the ' didn't work
+properly.
+
+Changed '\"' to '"' to make it compatible with old C compilers.
+
+The command line expansion for mappings caused a script with a TAB between lhs
+and rhs of a map command to fail. Assume the TAB is to separate lhs and rhs
+when there are no mappings to expand.
+
+When editing a file with very long lines with 'scrolloff' set, "j" would
+sometimes end up in a line which wasn't displayed.
+
+When editing a read-only file, it was completely read into memory, even when
+it would not fit. Now create a swap file for a read-only file when running
+out of memory while reading the file.
+
+When using ":set cino={s,e-s", a line after "} else {" was not indented
+properly. Also added a check for this in test3.in.
+
+The Hebrew mapping for the command line was remembered for the next command
+line. That isn't very useful, a command is not Hebrew. (Kol)
+
+When completing file names with embedded spaces, like "Program\ files", this
+didn't work. Also for user commands. Moved backslash_halve() down to
+mch_expandpath().
+
+When using "set mouse=a" in Ex mode, mouse events were handled like typed
+text. Then typing "quit" screwed up the mouse behavior of the xterm.
+
+When repeating an insert with "." that contains a CTRL-Y, a number 5 was
+inserted as "053".
+
+Yanking a Visual area, with the cursor past the line, didn't move the cursor
+back onto the line. Same for "~", "u", "U" and "g?"
+
+Win32: Default for 'grepprg' could be "findstr /n" even though there is no
+findstr.exe (Windows 95). Check if it exists, and fall back to "grep -n" if
+it doesn't.
+
+Because gui_mouse_moved() inserted a leftmouse click in the input buffer,
+remapping a leftmouse click caused strange effects. Now Insert another code
+in the input buffer. Also insert a leftmouse release, to avoid the problem
+with ":map <LeftMouse> l" that the next release is seen as the release for the
+focus click.
+
+With 'wrap' on, when using a line that doesn't fit on the screen, if the start
+of the Visual area is before the start of the screen, there was no
+highlighting. Also, 'showbreak' doesn't work properly.
+
+DOS, Win32: A pattern "[0-9]\+" didn't work in autocommands.
+
+When creating a swap file for a buffer which isn't the current buffer, could
+get a mixup of short file name, resulting in a long file name when a short
+file name was required. makeswapname() was calling modname() instead of
+buf_modname().
+
+When a function caused an error, and the error message was very long because
+of recursiveness, this would cause a crash.
+
+'suffixes' were always compared with matching case. For MS-DOS, Win32 and
+OS/2 case is now ignored.
+
+The use of CHARBITS in regexp.c didn't work on some Linux. Don't use it.
+
+When generating a script file, 'cpo' was made empty. This caused backslashes
+to disappear from mappings. Set it to "B" to avoid that.
+
+Lots of typos in the documentation. (Campbell)
+
+When editing an existing (hidden) buffer, jump to the last used cursor
+position. (Madsen)
+
+On a Sun the xterm screen was not restored properly when suspending. (Madsen)
+
+When $VIMINIT is processed, 'nocompatible' was only set after processing it.
+
+Unix: Polling for a character wasn't done for GPM, Sniff and Xterm clipboard
+all together. Cleaned up the code for using select() too.
+
+When executing external commands from the GUI, some typeahead was lost. Added
+some code to regain as much typeahead as possible.
+
+When the window height is 5 lines or fewer, <PageDown> didn't use a one-line
+overlap, while <PageUp> does. Made sure that <PageUp> uses the same overlap
+as <PageDown>, so that using them both always displays the same lines.
+
+Removed a few unused functions and variables (found with lint).
+
+Dictionary completion didn't use 'infercase'. (Raul)
+
+Configure tests failed when the Perl library was not in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
+Don't use the Perl library for configure tests, add it to the linker line only
+when linking Vim.
+
+When using ncurses/terminfo, could get a 't_Sf' and 't_Sb' termcap entry that
+has "%d" instead of "%p1%d". The light background colors didn't work then.
+
+GTK GUI with ncurses: Crashed when starting up in tputs(). Don't use tputs()
+when the GUI is active.
+
+Could use the ":let" command to set the "count", "shell_error" and "version"
+variables, but that didn't work. Give an error message when trying to set
+them.
+
+On FreeBSD 3.0, tclsh is called tclsh8.0. Adjusted configure.in to find it.
+
+When Vim is linked with -lncurses, but python uses -ltermcap, this causes
+trouble: "OOPS". Configure now removes the -ltermcap.
+
+:@" and :*" didn't work properly, because the " was recognized as the start of
+a comment.
+
+Win32s GUI: Minimizing the console where a filter command runs in caused
+trouble for detecting that the filter command has finished. (Negri)
+
+After executing a filter command from an xterm, the mouse would be disabled.
+It would work again after changing the mode.
+
+Mac GUI: Crashed in newenv(). (St-Amant)
+
+The menus and mappings in mswin.vim didn't handle text ending in a NL
+correctly. (Acevedo)
+
+The ":k" command didn't check if it had a valid argument or extra characters.
+Now give a meaningful error message. (Webb)
+
+On SGI, the signal function doesn't always have three arguments. Check for
+struct sigcontext to find out. Might still be wrong...
+
+Could crash when using 'hlsearch' and search pattern is "^".
+
+When search patterns were saved and restored, status of no_hlsearch was not
+also saved and restored (from ":nohlsearch" command).
+
+When using setline() to make a line shorter, the cursor position was not
+adjusted.
+
+MS-DOS and Win95: When trying to edit a file and accidentally adding a slash
+or backslash at the end, the file was deleted. Probably when trying to create
+the swap file. Explicitly check for a trailing slash or backslash before
+trying to read a file.
+
+X11 GUI: When starting the GUI failed and received a deadly signal while
+setting the title, would lock up when trying to exit, because the title is
+reset again. Avoid using mch_settitle() recursively.
+
+X11 GUI: When starting the GUI fails, and then trying it again, would crash,
+because argv[] has been freed and x11_display was reset to NULL.
+
+Win32: When $HOME was set, would put "~user" in the swap file, which would
+never compare with a file name, and never cause the attention message. Put
+the full path in the swap file instead.
+
+Win32 console: There were funny characters at the end of the "vim -r" swap
+files message (direct output of CR CR LF).
+
+DOS 32 bit: "vim -r" put the text at the top of the window.
+
+GUI: With 'mousefocus' set, got mouse codes as text with "!sleep 100" or "Q".
+
+Motif and Win32 GUI: When changing 'guifont' to a font of the same size the
+screen wasn't redrawn.
+
+Unix: When using ":make", jumping to a file b.c, which is already open as a
+symbolic link a.c, opened a new buffer instead of using the existing one.
+
+Inserting text in the current buffer while sourcing the .vimrc file would
+cause a crash or hang. The memfile for the current buffer was never
+allocated. Now it's allocated as soon as something is written in the buffer.
+
+DOS 32 bit: "lightblue" background worked for text, but not drawn parts were
+black.
+
+DOS: Colors of console were not restored upon exiting.
+
+When recording, with 'cmdheight' set to 2 and typing Esc> in Insert mode
+caused the "recording" message to be doubled.
+
+Spurious "file changed" messages could happen on Windows. Now tolerate a one
+second difference, like for Linux.
+
+GUI: When returning from Ex mode, scrollbars were not updated.
+
+Win32: Copying text to the clipboard containing a <CR>, pasting it would
+replace it with a <NL> and drop the next character.
+
+Entering a double byte character didn't work if the second byte is in [xXoO].
+(Eric Lee)
+
+vim_realloc was both defined and had a prototype in proto/misc2.pro. Caused
+conflicts on Solaris.
+
+A pattern in an autocommand was treated differently on DOS et al. than on
+Unix. Now it's the same, also when using backslashes.
+
+When using <Tab> twice for command line completion, without a match, the <Tab>
+would be inserted. (Negri)
+
+Bug in MS-Visual C++ 6.0 when compiling ex_docmd.c with optimization. (Negri)
+
+Testing the result of mktemp() for failure was wrong. Could cause a crash.
+(Peters)
+
+GUI: When checking for a ".gvimrc" file in the current directory, didn't check
+for a "_gvimrc" file too.
+
+Motif GUI: When using the popup menu and then adding an item to the menu bar,
+the menu bar would get very high.
+
+Mouse clicks and special keys (e.g. cursor keys) quit the more prompt and
+dialogs. Now they are ignored.
+
+When at the more-prompt, xterm selection didn't work. Now use the 'r' flag in
+'mouse' also for the more-prompt.
+
+When selecting a Visual area of more than 1023 lines, with 'guioptions' set to
+"a", could mess up the display because of a message in free_yank(). Removed
+that message, except for the Amiga.
+
+Moved auto-selection from ui_write() to the screen update functions. Avoids
+unexpected behavior from a low-level function. Also makes the different
+feedback of owning the selection possible.
+
+Vi incompatibility: Using "i<CR>" in an indent, with 'ai' set, used the
+original indent instead of truncating it at the cursor. (Webb)
+
+":echo x" didn't stop at "q" for the more prompt.
+
+Various fixes for Macintosh. (St-Amant)
+
+When using 'selectmode' set to "exclusive", selecting a word and then using
+CTRL-] included the character under the cursor.
+
+Using ":let a:name" in a function caused a crash. (Webb)
+
+When using ":append", an empty line didn't scroll up.
+
+DOS etc.: A file name starting with '!' didn't work. Added '!' to default for
+'isfname'.
+
+BeOS: Compilation problem with prototype of skip_class_name(). (Price)
+
+When deleting more than one line, e.g., with "de", could still use "U"
+command, which didn't work properly then.
+
+Amiga: Could not compile ex_docmd.c, it was getting too big. Moved some
+functions to ex_cmds.c.
+
+The expand() function would add a trailing slash for directories.
+
+Didn't give an error message when trying to assign a value to an argument of a
+function. (Webb)
+
+Moved including sys/ptem.h to after termios.h. Needed for Sinix.
+
+OLE interface: Don't delete the object in CVimCF::Release() when the reference
+count becomes zero. (Cordell)
+VisVim could still crash on exit. (Erhardt)
+
+"case a: case b:" (two case statements in one line) aligned with the second
+case. Now it uses one 'sw' for indent. (Webb)
+
+Font initialisation wasn't right for Athena/Motif GUI. Moved the call to
+highlight_gui_started() gui_mch_init() to gui_mch_open(). (Nam)
+
+In Replace mode, backspacing over a TAB before where the replace mode started
+while 'sts' is different from 'ts', would delete the TAB.
+
+Win32 console: When executing external commands and switching between the two
+console screens, Vim would copy the text between the buffers. That caused the
+screen to be messed up for backtick expansion.
+
+":winpos -1" then ":winpos" gave wrong error message.
+
+Windows commander creates files called c:\tmp\$wc\abc.txt. Don't remove the
+backslash before the $. Environment variables were not expanded anyway,
+because of the backslash before the dollar.
+
+Using "-=" with ":set" could remove half a part when it contains a "\,".
+E.g., ":set path+=a\\,b" and then "set path-=b" removed ",b".
+
+When Visually selecting lines, with 'selection' set to "inclusive", including
+the last char of the line, "<<" moved an extra line. Also for other operators
+that always work on lines.
+
+link.sh changed "-lnsl_s" to "_s" when looking for "nsl" to be removed.
+Now it only removes whole words.
+
+When jumped to a mark or using "fz", and there is an error, the current column
+was lost. E.g. when using "$fzj".
+
+The "g CTRL-G" command could not be interrupted, even though it can take a
+long time.
+
+Some terminals do have <F4> and <xF4>. <xF4> was always interpreted as <F4>.
+Now map <xF4> to <F4>, so that the user can override this.
+
+When compiling os_win32.c with MIN_FEAT the apply_autocmds() should not be
+used. (Aaron)
+
+This autocommand looped forever: ":au FileChangedShell * ++nested e <afile>"
+Now FileChangeShell never nests. (Roemer)
+
+When evaluating an ":elseif" that was not going to matter anyway, ignore
+errors. (Roemer)
+
+GUI Lesstif: Tearoff bar was the last item, instead of the first.
+
+GUI Motif: Colors of tear-off widgets was wrong when 't' flag added to
+'guioptions' afterwards. When 't' flag in 'guioptions' is excluded, would
+still get a tearoff item in a new menu.
+
+An inode number can be "long long". Use ino_t instead of long. Added
+configure check for ino_t.
+
+Binary search for tags was using a file offset "long" instead of "off_t".
+
+Insert mode completion of tags was not using 'ignorecase' properly.
+
+In Insert mode, the <xFn> keys were not properly mapped to <Fn> for the
+default mappings. Also caused errors for ":mkvimrc" and ":mksession".
+
+When jumping to another window while in Insert mode, would get the "warning:
+changing readonly file" even when not making a change.
+
+A '(' or '{' inside a trailing "//" comment would disturb C-indenting.
+When using two labels below each other, the second one was not indented
+properly. Comments could mess up C-indenting in many places. (Roemer)
+
+Could delete or redefine a function while it was being used. Could cause a
+crash.
+In a function it's logical to prepend "g:" to a system variable, but this
+didn't work. (Roemer)
+
+Hangul input: Buffer would overflow when user inputs invalid key sequence.
+(Nam)
+
+When BufLoad or BufEnter autocommands change the topline of the buffer in the
+window, it was overruled and the cursor put halfway the window. Now only put
+the cursor halfway if the autocommands didn't change the topline.
+
+Calling exists("&option") always returned 1. (Roemer)
+
+Win32: Didn't take actually available memory into account. (Williams)
+
+White space after an automatically inserted comment leader was not removed
+when 'ai' is not set and <CR> hit just after inserting it. (Webb)
+
+A few menus had duplicated accelerators. (Roemer)
+
+Spelling errors in documentation, quite a few "the the". (Roemer)
+
+Missing prototypes for Macintosh. (Kielhorn)
+
+Win32: When using 'shellquote' or 'shellxquote', the "!start cmd" wasn't
+executed in a disconnected process.
+
+When resizing the window, causing a line before the cursor to wrap or unwrap,
+the cursor was displayed in the wrong position.
+
+There was quite a bit of dead code when compiling with minimal features.
+
+When doing a ":%s///" command that makes lines shorter, such that lines above
+the final cursor position no longer wrap, the cursor position was not updated.
+
+get_id_list() could allocate an array one too small, when a "contains=" item
+has a wildcard that matches a group name that is added just after it. E.g.:
+"contains=a.*b,axb". Give an error message for it.
+
+When yanking a Visual area and using the middle mouse button -> crash. When
+clipboard doesn't work, now make "* always use "".
+
+Win32: Using ":buf a\ b\file" didn't work, it was interpreted as "ab\file".
+
+Using ":ts ident", then hit <CR>, with 'cmdheight' set to 2: command line was
+not cleared, the tselect prompt was on the last but one line.
+
+mksession didn't restore the cursor column properly when it was after a tab.
+Could not get all windows back when using a smaller terminal screen. Didn't
+restore all windows when "winsize" was not in 'sessionoptions'. (Webb)
+
+Command line completion for ":buffer" depended on 'ignorecase' for Unix, but
+not for DOS et al. Now don't use 'ignorecase', but let it depend on whether
+file names are case sensitive or not (like when expanding file names).
+
+Win32 GUI: (Negri)
+- Redrawing the background caused flicker when resizing the window. Removed
+ _OnEraseBG(). Removed CS_HREDRAW and CS_VREDRAW flags from the
+ sndclass.style.
+- Some parts of the window were drawn in grey, instead of using the color from
+ the user color scheme.
+- Dropping a file on gvim didn't activate the window.
+- When there is no menu ('guioptions' excludes 'm'), never use the ALT key for
+ it.
+
+GUI: When resizing the window, would make the window height a bit smaller.
+Now round off to the nearest char cell size. (Negri)
+
+In Vi the ")" and "(" commands don't stop at a single space after a dot.
+Added 'J' flag in 'cpoptions' to make this behave Vi compatible. (Roemer)
+
+When saving a session without any buffers loaded, there would be a ":normal"
+command without arguments in it. (Webb)
+
+Memory leaks fixed: (Madsen)
+- eval.c: forgot to release func structure when func deleted
+- ex_docmd.c: forgot to release string after "<sfile>"
+- misc1.c: leak when completion pattern had no matches.
+- os_unix.c: forgot to release regexp after file completions
+
+Could crash when using a buffer without a name. (Madsen)
+Could crash when doing file name completion, because of backslash_halve().
+(Madsen)
+
+":@a" would do mappings on register a, which is not Vi compatible. (Roemer)
+
+":g/foo.*()/s/foobar/_&/gc" worked fine, but then "n" searched for "foobar"
+and displayed "/foo.*()". (Roemer)
+
+OS/2: get_cmd_output() was not included. Didn't check for $VIM/.vimrc file.
+
+Command line completion of options didn't work after "+=" and "-=".
+
+Unix configure: Test for memmove()/bcopy()/memcpy() tried redefining these
+functions, which could fail if they are defined already. Use mch_memmove() to
+redefine.
+
+Unix: ":let a = expand("`xterm`&")" started an xterm asynchronously, but
+":let a = expand("`xterm&`")" generated an error message, because the
+redirection was put after the '&'.
+
+Win32 GUI: Dialog buttons could not be selected properly with cursor keys,
+when the default is not the first button. (Webb)
+
+The "File has changed since editing started" (when regaining focus) could not
+always be seen. (Webb)
+
+When starting with "ex filename", the file message was overwritten with
+the "entering Ex mode" message.
+
+Output of ":tselect" listed name of file directly from the tags file. Now it
+is corrected for the position of the tags file.
+
+When 'backspace' is 0, could backspace over autoindent. Now it is no longer
+allowed (Vi compatible).
+
+In Replace mode, when 'noexpandtab' and 'smarttab' were set, and inserting
+Tabs, backspacing didn't work correctly for Tabs inserted at the start of the
+line (unless 'sts' was set too). Also, when replacing the first non-blank
+after which is a space, rounding the indent was done on the first non-blank
+instead of on the character under the cursor.
+
+When 'sw' at 4, 'ts' at 8 and 'smarttab' set: When a tab was appended after
+four spaces (they are replaced with a tab) couldn't backspace over the tab.
+
+In Insert mode, with 'bs' set to 0, couldn't backspace to before autoindent,
+even when it was removed with CTRL-D.
+
+When repeating an insert command where a <BS>, <Left> or other key causes an
+error, would flush buffers and remain in Insert mode. No longer flush
+buffers, only beep and continue with the insert command.
+
+Dos and Win32 console: Setting t_me didn't work to get another color. Made
+this works backwards compatible.
+
+For Turkish (LANG = "tr") uppercase 'i' is not an 'I'. Use ASCII uppercase
+translation in vim_strup() to avoid language problems. (Komur)
+
+Unix: Use usleep() or nanosleep() for mch_delay() when available. Hopefully
+this avoids a hangup in select(0, ..) for Solaris 2.6.
+
+Vim would crash when using a script file with 'let &sp = "| tee"', starting
+vim with "vim -u test", then doing ":set sp=". The P_WAS_SET flag wasn't set
+for a string option, could cause problems with any string option.
+
+When using "cmd | vim -", stdin is not a terminal. This gave problems with
+GPM (Linux console mouse) and when executing external commands. Now close
+stdin and re-open it as a copy of stderr.
+
+Syntax highlighting: A "nextgroup" item was not properly stored in the state
+list. This caused missing of next groups when not redrawing from start to
+end, but starting halfway.
+
+Didn't check for valid values of 'ttymouse'.
+
+When executing an external command from the GUI, waiting for the child to
+terminate might not work, causing a hang. (Parmelan)
+
+"make uninstall" didn't delete the vimrc_example.vim and gvimrc_example.vim
+files and the vimtutor.
+
+Win32: "expand("%:p:h")" with no buffer name removed the directory name.
+"fnamemodify("", ":p")" did not add a trailing slash, fname_case() removed it.
+
+Fixed: When 'hlsearch' was set and the 'c' flag was not in 'cpoptions':
+highlighting was not correct. Now overlapping matches are handled correctly.
+
+Athena, Motif and GTK GUI: When started without focus, cursor was shown as if
+with focus.
+
+Don't include 'shellpipe' when compiled without quickfix, it's not used.
+Don't include 'dictionary' option when compiled without the +insert_expand
+feature.
+Only include the 'shelltype' option for the Amiga.
+
+When making a change to a line, with 'hlsearch' on, causing it to wrap, while
+executing a register, the screen would not be updated correctly. This was a
+generic problem in update_screenline() being called while must_redraw is
+VALID.
+
+Using ":bdelete" in a BufUnload autocommand could cause a crash. The window
+height was added to another window twice in close_window().
+
+Win32 GUI: When removing a menu item, the tearoff wasn't updated. (Negri)
+
+Some performance bottlenecks removed. Allocating memory was not efficient.
+For Win32 checking for available memory was slow, don't check it every time
+now. On NT obtaining the user name takes a long time, cache the result (for
+all systems).
+
+fnamemodify() with an argument ":~:." or ":.:~" didn't work properly.
+
+When editing a new file and exiting, the marks for the buffer were not saved
+in the viminfo file.
+
+":confirm only" didn't put up a dialog.
+
+These text objects didn't work when 'selection' was "exclusive": va( vi( va{
+vi{ va< vi< vi[ va[.
+
+The dialog for writing a readonly file didn't have a valid default. (Negri)
+
+The line number used for error messages when sourcing a file was reset when
+modelines were inspected. It was wrong when executing a function.
+
+The file name and line number for an error message wasn't displayed when it
+was the same as for the last error, even when this was long ago. Now reset
+the name/lnum after a hit-enter prompt.
+
+In a session file, a "%" in a file name caused trouble, because fprintf() was
+used to write it to the file.
+
+When skipping statements, a mark in an address wasn't skipped correctly:
+"ka|if 0|'ad|else|echo|endif". (Roemer)
+
+":wall" could overwrite a not-edited file without asking.
+
+GUI: When $DISPLAY was not set or starting the GUI failed in another way, the
+console mode then started with wrong colors and skipped initializations. Now
+do an early check if the GUI can be started. Don't source the menu.vim or
+gvimrc when it will not. Also do normal terminal initializations if the GUI
+might not start.
+
+When using a BufEnter autocommand to position the cursor and scroll the
+window, the cursor was always put at the last used line and halfway the window
+anyhow.
+
+When 'wildmode' was set to "longest,list:full", ":e *.c<Tab><Tab>" didn't list
+the matches. Also avoid that listing after a "longest" lists the wrong
+matches when the first expansion changed the string in front of the cursor.
+
+When using ":insert", ":append" or ":change" inside a while loop, was not able
+to break out of it with a CTRL-C.
+
+Win32: ":e ." took an awful long time before an error message when used in
+"C:\". Was caused by adding another backslash and then trying to get the full
+name for "C:\\".
+
+":winpos -10 100" was working like ":winpos -10 -10", because a pointer was
+not advanced past the '-' sign.
+
+When obtaining the value of a hidden option, would give an error message. Now
+just use a zero value.
+
+OS/2: Was using argv[0], even though it was not a useful name. It could be
+just "vim", found in the search path.
+
+Xterm: ":set columns=78" didn't redraw properly (when lines wrap/unwrap) until
+after a delay of 'updatetime'. Didn't check for the size-changed signal.
+
+'scrollbind' didn't work in Insert mode.
+Horizontal scrollbinding didn't always work for "0" and "$" commands (e.g.,
+when 'showcmd' was off).
+
+When compiled with minimal features but with GUI, switching on the mouse in an
+xterm caused garbage, because the mouse codes were not recognized. Don't
+enable the mouse when it can't be recognized. In the GUI it also didn't work,
+the arguments to the mouse code were not interpreted.
+
+When 'showbreak' used, in Insert mode, when the cursor is just after the last
+character in the line, which is also the in the rightmost column, the cursor
+position would be like the 'showbreak' string is shown, but it wasn't.
+
+Autocommands could move the cursor in a new file, so that CTRL-W i didn't show
+the right line. Same for when using a filemark to jump to another file.
+
+When redefining the argument list, the title used for other windows could be
+showing the wrong info about the position in the argument list. Also update
+this for a ":split" command without arguments.
+
+When editing file 97 of 13, ":Next" didn't work. Now it goes to the last
+file in the argument list.
+
+Insert mode completion (for dictionaries or included files) could not be
+interrupted by typing an <Esc>. Could get hit-enter prompt after line
+completion, or whenever the informative message would get too long.
+
+When using the ":edit" command to re-edit the same file, an autocommand to
+jump to the last cursor position caused the cursor to move. Now set the last
+used cursor position to avoid this.
+
+When 'comments' has a part that starts with white space, formatting the
+comment didn't work.
+
+At the ":tselect" prompt Normal mode mappings were used. That has been
+disabled.
+
+When 'selection' is not "old", some commands still didn't allow the cursor
+past the end-of-line in Visual mode.
+
+Athena: When a menu was deleted, it would appear again (but not functional)
+when adding another menu. Now they don't reappear anymore (although they are
+not really deleted either).
+
+Borland C++ 4.x had an optimizer problem in fill_breakat_flags(). (Negri)
+
+"ze" didn't work when 'number' was on. (Davis)
+
+Win32 GUI: Intellimouse code didn't work properly on Windows 98. (Robinson)
+
+A few files were including proto.h a second time, after vim.h had already done
+that, which could cause problems with the vim_realloc() macro.
+
+Win32 console: <M-x> or ALT-x was not recognized. Also keypad '+', '-' and
+'*'. (Negri)
+MS-DOS: <M-x> didn't work, produced a two-byte code. Now the alphabetic and
+number keys work. (Negri)
+
+When finding a lot of matches for a tag completion, the check for avoiding
+double matches could take a lot of time. Add a line_breakcheck() to be able
+to interrupt this. (Deshpande)
+
+When the command line was getting longer than the screen, the more-prompt
+would be given regularly, and the cursor position would be wrong. Now only
+show the part of the command line that fits on the screen and force the cursor
+to be positioned on the visible part. There can be text after the cursor
+which isn't editable.
+
+At the more prompt and with the console dialog, a cursor key was interpreted
+as <Esc> and OA. Now recognize special keys in get_keystroke(). Ignore mouse
+and scrollbar events.
+
+When typing a BS after inserting a middle comment leader, typing the last char
+of the end comment leader still changed it into the end comment leader. (Webb)
+
+When a file system is full, writing to a swap file failed. Now first try to
+write one block to the file. Try next entry in 'dir' if it fails.
+
+When "~" is in 'whichwrap', doing "~" on last char of a line didn't update the
+display.
+
+Unix: Expanding wildcards for ":file {\\}" didn't work, because "\}" was
+translated to "}" before the shell got it. Now don't remove backslashes when
+wildcards are going to be expanded.
+
+Unix: ":e /tmp/$uid" didn't work. When expanding environment variables in a
+file name doesn't work, use the shell to expand the file name. ":e /tmp/$tty"
+still doesn't work though.
+
+"make test" didn't always work on DOS/Windows for test30, because it depended
+on the external "echo" command.
+
+The link.sh script used "make" instead of $MAKE from the Makefile. Caused
+problems for generating pathdef.c when "make" doesn't work properly.
+
+On versions that can do console and GUI: In the console a typed CSI code could
+cause trouble.
+
+The patterns in expression evaluation didn't ignore the 'l' flag in
+'cpoptions'. This broke the working of <CR> in the options window.
+
+When 'hls' off and 'ai' on, "O<Esc>" did remove the indent, but it was still
+highlighted red for trailing space.
+
+Win32 GUI: Dropping an encrypted file on a running gvim didn't work right. Vim
+would loop while outputting "*" characters. vgetc() was called recursively,
+thus it returns NUL. Added safe_vgetc(), which reads input directly from the
+user in this situation.
+
+While reading text from stdin, only an empty screen was shown. Now show that
+Vim is reading from stdin.
+
+The cursor shape wasn't set properly when returning to Insert mode, after
+using a CTRL-O /asdf command which fails. It would be OK after a few seconds.
+Now it's OK right away.
+
+The 'isfname' default for DOS/Windows didn't include the '@' character. File
+names that contained "dir\@file" could not be edited.
+
+Win32 console: <C-S-Left> could cause a crash when compiled with Borland or
+egcs. (Aaron)
+
+Unix and VMS: "#if HAVE_DIRENT_H" caused problems for some compilers. Use
+"#ifdef HAVE_DIRENT_H" instead. (Jones)
+
+When a matching tag is in the current file but has a search pattern that
+doesn't match, the cursor would jump to the first line.
+
+Unix: Dependencies for pty.c were not included in Makefile. Dependency of
+ctags/config.h was not included (only matters for parallel make).
+
+Removed a few Uninitialized Memory Reads (potential crashes). In do_call()
+calling clear_var() when not evaluating. In win32_expandpath() and
+dos_expandpath() calling backslash_halve() past the end of a file name.
+
+Removed memory leaks: Set_vim_var_string() never freed the value. The
+next_list for a syntax keyword was never freed.
+
+On non-Unix systems, using a file name with wildcards without a match would
+silently fail. E.g., ":e *.sh". Now give a "No match" error message.
+
+The life/life.mac, urm/urm.mac and hanoi/hanoi.mac files were not recognized
+as Vim scripts. Renamed them to *.vim.
+
+[Note: some numbered patches are not relevant when upgrading from version 5.3,
+they have been removed]
+
+Patch 5.4m.1
+Problem: When editing a file with a long name, would get the hit-enter
+ prompt, even though all settings are such that the name should be
+ truncated to avoid that. filemess() was printing the file name
+ without truncating it.
+Solution: Truncate the message in filemess(). Use the same code as for
+ msg_trunc_attr(), which is moved to the new function
+ msg_may_trunc().
+Files: src/message.c, src/proto/message.pro, src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.3
+Problem: The Motif libraries were not found by configure for Digital Unix.
+Solution: Add "/usr/shlib" to the search path. (Andy Kahn)
+Files: src/configure.in, src/configure
+
+Patch 5.4m.5
+Problem: Win32 GUI: When using the Save-As menu entry and selecting an
+ existing file in the file browser, would get a dialog to confirm
+ overwriting twice. (Ed Krall)
+Solution: Removed the dialog from the file browser. It would be nicer to
+ set the "forceit" flag and skip Vim's ":confirm" dialog, but it
+ requires quite a few changes to do that.
+Files: src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.6
+Problem: Win32 GUI: When reading text from stdin, e.g., "cat foo | gvim -",
+ a message box would pop up with "-stdin-" (when exiting). (Michael
+ Schaap)
+Solution: Don't switch off termcap mode for versions that are GUI-only.
+ They use another terminal to read from stdin.
+Files: src/main.c, src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.7
+Problem: Unix: running configure with --enable-gtk-check,
+ --enable-motif-check, --enable-athena-check or --enable-gtktest
+ had the reverse effect. (Thomas Koehler)
+Solution: Use $enable_gtk_check variable correctly in AC_ARG_ENABLE().
+Files: src/configure.in, src/configure
+
+Patch 5.4m.9
+Problem: Multi-byte: With wrapping lines, the cursor was sometimes 2
+ characters to the left. Syntax highlighting was wrong when a
+ double-byte character was split for a wrapping line. When
+ 'showbreak' was on the splitting also didn't work.
+Solution: Adjust getvcol() and win_line(). (Chong-Dae Park)
+Files: src/charset.c, src/screen.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.11
+Problem: The ":call" command didn't check for illegal trailing characters.
+ (Stefan Roemer)
+Solution: Add the check in do_call().
+Files: src/eval.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.13
+Problem: With the ":s" command:
+ 1. When performing a substitute command, the mouse would be
+ disabled and enabled for every substitution.
+ 2. The cursor position could be beyond the end of the line.
+ Calling line_breakcheck() could try to position the cursor,
+ which causes a crash in the Win32 GUI.
+ 3. When using ":s" in a ":g" command, the cursor was not put on
+ the first non-white in the line.
+ 4. There was a hit-enter prompt when confirming the substitution
+ and the replacement was a bit longer.
+Solution: 1. Only disable/enable the mouse when asking for confirmation.
+ 2. Always put the cursor on the first character, it is going to be
+ moved to the first non-blank anyway.
+ Don't use the cursor position in gui_mch_draw_hollow_cursor(),
+ get the character from the screen buffer.
+ 3. Added global_need_beginline flag to call beginline() after ":g"
+ has finished all substitutions.
+ 4. Clear the need_wait_return flag after prompting the user.
+Files: src/ex_cmds.c, src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.14
+Problem: When doing "vim xxx", ":opt", ":only" and then ":e xxx" we end
+ up with two swapfiles for "xxx". That is caused by the ":bdel"
+ command which is executed when unloading the option-window.
+ Also, there was no check if closing a buffer made the new one
+ invalid, this could cause a crash.
+Solution: When closing a buffer causes the current buffer to be deleted,
+ use the new buffer to replace it. Also detect that the new buffer
+ has become invalid as a side effect of closing the current one.
+ Make autocommand that calls ":bdel" in optwin.vim nested, so that
+ the buffer loading it triggers also executes autocommands.
+ Also added a test for this in test13.
+Files: runtime/optwin.vim, src/buffer.c, src/ex_cmds.c, src/globals.h
+ src/testdir/test13.in, src/testdir/test13.ok
+
+Patch 5.4m.15
+Problem: When using a BufEnter autocommand to reload the syntax file,
+ conversion to HTML caused a crash. (Sung-Hyun Nam)
+Solution: When using ":syntax clear" the current stack of syntax items was
+ not cleared. This will cause memory to be used that has already
+ been freed. Added call to invalidate_current_state() in
+ syntax_clear().
+Files: src/syntax.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.17
+Problem: When omitting a ')' in an expression it would not be seen as a
+ failure.
+ When detecting an error inside (), there would be an error message
+ for a missing ')' too.
+ When using ":echo 1+|echo 2" there was no error message. (Roemer)
+ When using ":exe 1+" there was no error message.
+ When using ":return 1+" there was no error message.
+Solution: Fix do_echo(), do_execute() and do_return() to give an error
+ message when eval1() returns FAIL.
+ Fix eval6() to handle trailing ')' correctly and return FAIL when
+ it's missing.
+Files: src/eval.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.18
+Problem: When using input() from inside an expression entered with
+ "CTRL-R =" on the command line, there could be a crash. And the
+ resulting command line was wrong.
+Solution: Added getcmdline_prompt(), which handles recursive use of
+ getcmdline() correctly. It also sets the command line prompt.
+ Removed cmdline_prompt(). Also use getcmdline_prompt() for
+ getting the crypt key in get_crypt_key().
+Files: src/proto/ex_getln.pro, src/ex_getln.c, src/eval.c, src/misc2.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.21
+Problem: When starting up, the screen structures were first allocated at
+ the minimal size, then initializations were done with Rows
+ possibly different from screen_Rows. Caused a crash in rare
+ situations (GTK with XIM and fontset).
+Solution: Call screenalloc() in main() only after calling ui_get_winsize().
+ Also avoids a potential delay because of calling screenclear()
+ while "starting" is non-zero.
+Files: src/main.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.22
+Problem: In the GUI it was possible that the screen was resized and the
+ screen structures re-allocated while redrawing the screen. This
+ could cause a crash (hard to reproduce). The call sequence goes
+ through update_screen() .. syntax_start() .. ui_breakcheck() ..
+ gui_resize_window() .. screenalloc().
+Solution: Set updating_screen while redrawing. If the window is resized
+ remember the new size and handle it only after redrawing is
+ finished.
+ This also fixes that resizing the screen while still redrawing
+ (slow syntax highlighting) would not work properly.
+ Also disable display_hint, it was never used.
+Files: src/globals.h, src/gui.c, src/screen.c, src/proto/gui.pro
+
+Patch 5.4m.23
+Problem: When using expand("<cword>") when there was no word under the
+ cursor, would get an error message. Same for <cWORD> and <cfile>.
+Solution: Don't give an error message, return an empty string.
+Files: src/eval.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.24
+Problem: ":help \|" didn't find anything. It was translated to "/\\|".
+Solution: Translate "\|" into "\\bar". First check the table for specific
+ translations before checking for "\x".
+Files: src/ex_cmds.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.25
+Problem: Unix: When using command line completion on files that contain
+ ''', '"' or '|' the file name could not be used.
+ Adding this file name to the Buffers menu caused an error message.
+Solution: Insert a backslash before these three characters.
+ Adjust Mungename() function to insert a backslash before '|'.
+Files: src/ex_getln.c, runtime/menu.vim
+
+Patch 5.4m.26
+Problem: When using a mapping of two function keys, e.g., <F1><F1>, and
+ only the first char of the second key has been read, the mapping
+ would not be recognized. Noticed on some Unix systems with xterm.
+Solution: Add 'K' flag to 'cpoptions' to wait for the whole key code, even
+ when halfway a mapping.
+Files: src/option.h, src/term.c
+
+Patch 5.4m.27
+Problem: When making test33 without the lisp feature it hangs. Interrupting
+ the execution of the script then might cause a crash.
+Solution: In inchar(), after closing a script, don't use buf[] anymore.
+ closescript() has freed typebuf[] and buf[] might be pointing
+ inside typebuf[].
+ Avoid that test33 hangs when the lisp feature is missing.
+Files: src/getchar.c src/testdir/test33.in
+
+"os2" was missing from the feature list. Useful for has("os2").
+
+BeOS:
+- Included patches from Richard Offer for BeOS R4.5.
+- menu code didn't work right. Crashed in the Buffers menu. The window title
+ wasn't set. (Offer)
+
+Patch 5.4n.3
+Problem: C-indenting was wrong after " } else". The white space was not
+ skipped. Visible when 'cino' has "+10".
+Solution: Skip white space before calling cin_iselse(). (Norbert Zeh)
+Files: src/misc1.c
+
+Patch 5.4n.4
+Problem: When the 't' flag in 'cpoptions' is included, after a
+ ":nohlsearch" the search highlighting would not be enabled again
+ after a tag search. (Norbert Zeh)
+Solution: When setting the new search pattern in jumpto_tag(), don't restore
+ no_hlsearch.
+Files: src/tag.c
+
+Patch 5.4n.5
+Problem: When using ":normal" from a CursorHold autocommand Vim hangs. The
+ autocommand is executed down from vgetc(). Calling vgetc()
+ recursively to execute the command doesn't work then.
+Solution: Forbid the use of ":normal" when vgetc_busy is set. Give an error
+ message when this happens.
+Files: src/ex_docmd.c, runtime/doc/autocmd.txt
+
+Patch 5.4n.6
+Problem: "gv" could reselect a Visual that starts and/or ends past the end
+ of a line. (Robert Webb)
+Solution: Check that the start and end of the Visual area are on a valid
+ character by calling adjust_cursor().
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.4n.8
+Problem: When a mark was on a non existing line (e.g., when the .viminfo
+ was edited), jumping to it caused ml_get errors. (Alexey
+ Marinichev).
+Solution: Added check_cursor_lnum() in nv_gomark().
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.4n.9
+Problem: ":-2" moved the cursor to a negative line number. (Ralf Schandl)
+Solution: Give an error message for a negative line number.
+Files: src/ex_docmd.c
+
+Patch 5.4n.10
+Problem: Win32 GUI: At the hit-enter prompt, it was possible to scroll the
+ text. This erased the prompt and made Vim look like it is in
+ Normal mode, while it is actually still waiting for a <CR>.
+Solution: Disallow scrolling at the hit-enter prompt for systems that use
+ on the fly scrolling.
+Files: src/message.c
+
+Patch 5.4n.14
+Problem: Win32 GUI: When using ":winsize 80 46" and the height is more than
+ what fits on the screen, the window size was made smaller than
+ asked for (that's OK) and Vim crashed (that's not OK)>
+Solution: Call check_winsize() from gui_set_winsize() to resize the windows.
+Files: src/gui.c
+
+Patch 5.4n.16
+Problem: Win32 GUI: The <F10> key both selected the menu and was handled as
+ a key hit.
+Solution: Apply 'winaltkeys' to <F10>, like it is used for Alt keys.
+Files: src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.4n.17
+Problem: Local buffer variables were freed when the buffer is unloaded.
+ That's not logical, since options are not freed. (Ron Aaron)
+Solution: Free local buffer variables only when deleting the buffer.
+Files: src/buffer.c
+
+Patch 5.4n.19
+Problem: Doing ":e" (without argument) in an option-window causes trouble.
+ The mappings for <CR> and <Space> are not removed. When there is
+ another buffer loaded, the swap file for it gets mixed up.
+ (Steve Mueller)
+Solution: Also remove the mappings at the BufUnload event, if they are still
+ present.
+ When re-editing the same file causes the current buffer to be

+ Also added a test for this situation.

+ src/testdir/test13.ok
+
+Patch 5.4n.24
+Problem: BeOS: configure never enabled the GUI, because $with_x was "no".
+ Unix prototypes caused problems, because Display and Widget are
+ undefined.
+ Freeing fonts on exit caused a crash.
+Solution: Only disable the GUI when $with_x is "no" and $BEOS is not "yes".
+ Add dummy defines for Display and Widget in proto.h.
+ Don't free the fonts in gui_exit() for BeOS.
+Files: src/configure.in, src/configure, src/proto.h, src/gui.c.
+
+
+The runtime/vim48x48.xpm icon didn't have a transparent background. (Schild)
+
+Some versions of the mingw32/egcs compiler didn't have WINBASEAPI defined.
+(Aaron)
+
+VMS:
+- mch_setenv() had two arguments instead of three.
+- The system vimrc and gvimrc files were called ".vimrc" and ".gvimrc".
+ Removed the dot.
+- call to RealWaitForChar() had one argument too many. (Campbell)
+- WaitForChar() is static, removed the prototype from proto/os_vms.pro.
+- Many file accesses failed, because Unix style file names were used.
+ Translate file names to VMS style by using vim_fopen().
+- Filtering didn't work, because the temporary file name was generated wrong.
+- There was an extra newline every 9192 characters when writing a file. Work
+ around it by writing line by line. (Campbell)
+- os_vms.c contained "# typedef int DESC". Should be "typedef int DESC;".
+ Only mattered for generating prototypes.
+- Added file name translation to many places. Made easy by defining macros
+ mch_access(), mch_fopen(), mch_fstat(), mch_lstat() and mch_stat().
+- Set default for 'tagbsearch' to off, because binary tag searching apparently
+ doesn't work for VMS.
+- make mch_get_host_name() work with /dec and /standard=vaxc. (Campbell)
+
+
+Patch 5.4o.2
+Problem: Crash when using "gf" on "file.c://comment here". (Scott Graham)
+Solution: Fix wrong use of pointers in get_file_name_in_path().
+Files: src/window.c
+
+Patch 5.4o.3
+Problem: The horizontal scrollbar was not sized correctly when 'number' is
+ set and 'wrap' not set.
+ Athena: Horizontal scrollbar wasn't updated when the cursor was
+ positioned with a mouse click just after dragging.
+Solution: Subtract 8 from the size when 'number' set and 'wrap' not set.
+ Reset gui.dragged_sb when a mouse click is received.
+Files: src/gui.c
+
+Patch 5.4o.4
+Problem: When running in an xterm and $WINDOWID is set to an illegal value,
+ Vim would exit with "Vim: Got X error".
+Solution: When using the display which was opened for the xterm clipboard,
+ check if x11_window is valid by trying to obtain the window title.
+ Also add a check in setup_xterm_clip(), for when using X calls to
+ get the pointer position in an xterm.
+Files: src/os_unix.c
+
+Patch 5.4o.5
+Problem: Motif version with Lesstif: When removing the menubar and then
+ using a menu shortcut key, Vim would crash. (raf)
+Solution: Disable the menu mnemonics when the menu bar is removed.
+Files: src/gui_motif.c
+
+Patch 5.4o.9
+Problem: The DOS install.exe program used the "move" program. That doesn't
+ work on Windows NT, where "move" is internal to cmd.exe.
+Solution: Don't use an external program for moving the executables. Use C
+ functions to copy the file and delete the original.
+Files: src/dosinst.c
+
+Motif and Athena obtained the status area height differently from GTK. Moved
+status_area_enabled from global.h to gui_x11.c and call
+xim_get_status_area_height() to get the status area height.
+
+Patch 5.4p.1
+Problem: When using auto-select, and the "gv" command is used, would not
+ always obtain ownership of the selection. Caused by the Visual
+ area still being the same, but ownership taken away by another
+ program.
+Solution: Reset the clipboard Visual mode to force updating the selection.
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.4p.2
+Problem: Motif and Athena with XIM: Typing 3-byte
+ <multibyte><multibyte><space> doesn't work correctly with Ami XIM.
+Solution: Avoid using key_sym XK_VoidSymbol. (Nam)

+
+Patch 5.4p.4
+Problem: Win32 GUI: The scrollbar values were reduced for a file with more
+ than 32767 lines. But this info was kept global for all
+ scrollbars, causing a mixup between the windows.
+ Using the down arrow of a scrollbar in a large file didn't work.
+ Because of round-off errors there is no scroll at all.
+Solution: Give each scrollbar its own scroll_shift field. When the down
+ arrow is used, scroll several lines.
+Files: src/gui.h, src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.4p.5
+Problem: When changing buffers in a BufDelete autocommand, there could be
+ ml_line errors and/or a crash. (Schandl) Was caused by deleting
+ the current buffer.
+Solution: When the buffer to be deleted unexpectedly becomes the current
+ buffer, don't delete it.
+ Also added a check for this in test13.
+Files: src/buffer.c, src/testdir/test13.in, src/testdir/test13.ok
+
+Patch 5.4p.7
+Problem: Win32 GUI: When using 'mousemodel' set to "popup_setpos" and
+ clicking the right mouse button outside of the selected area, the
+ selected area wasn't removed until the popup menu has gone.
+ (Aaron)
+Solution: Set the cursor and update the display before showing the popup
+ menu.
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.4p.8
+Problem: The generated bugreport didn't contain information about
+ $VIMRUNTIME and whether runtime files actually exist.
+Solution: Added a few checks to the bugreport script.
+Files: runtime/bugreport.vim
+
+Patch 5.4p.9
+Problem: The windows install.exe created a wrong entry in the popup menu.
+ The "%1" was "". The full directory was included, even when the
+ executable had been moved elsewhere. (Ott)
+Solution: Double the '%' to get one from printf. Only include the path to
+ gvim.exe when it wasn't moved and it's not in $PATH.
+Files: src/dosinst.c
+
+Patch 5.4p.10
+Problem: Win32: On top of 5.4p.9: The "Edit with Vim" entry sometimes used
+ a short file name for a directory.
+Solution: Change the "%1" to "%L" in the registry entry.
+Files: src/dosinst.c
+
+Patch 5.4p.11
+Problem: Motif, Athena and GTK: When closing the GUI window when there is a
+ changed buffer, there was only an error message and Vim would not
+ exit.
+Solution: Put up a dialog, like for ":confirm qa". Uses the code that was
+ already used for MS-Windows.
+Files: src/gui.c, src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.4p.12
+Problem: Win32: Trying to expand a string that is longer than 256
+ characters could cause a crash. (Steed)
+Solution: For the buffer in win32_expandpath() don't use a fixed size array,
+ allocate it.
+Files: src/os_win32.c
+
+MSDOS: Added "-Wall" to Makefile.djg compile flags. Function prototypes for
+fname_case() and mch_update_cursor() were missing. "fd" was unused in
+mf_sync(). "puiLocation" was unused in myputch(). "newcmd" unused in
+mch_call_shell() for DJGPP version.
+
+==============================================================================
+VERSION 5.5 *version-5.5*
+
+Version 5.5 is a bug-fix version of 5.4.
+
+
+Changed *changed-5.5*
+-------
+
+The DJGPP version is now compiled with "-O2" instead of "-O4" to reduce the
+size of the executables.
+
+Moved the src/STYLE file to runtime/doc/develop.txt. Added the design goals
+to it.
+
+'backspace' is now a string option. See patch 5.4.15.
+
+
+Added *added-5.5*
+-----
+
+Included Exuberant Ctags version 3.3. (Darren Hiebert)
+
+In runtime/mswin.vim, map CTRL-Q to CTRL-V, so that CTRL-Q can be used
+everywhere to do what CTRL-V used to do.
+
+Support for decompression of bzip2 files in vimrc_example.vim.
+
+When a patch is included, the patch number is entered in a table in version.c.
+This allows skipping a patch without breaking a next one.
+
+Support for mouse scroll wheel in X11. See patch 5.5a.14.
+
+line2byte() can be used to get the size of the buffer. See patch 5.4.35.
+
+The CTRL-R CTRL-O r and CTRL-R CTRL-P r commands in Insert mode are used to
+insert a register literally. See patch 5.4.48.
+
+Uninstall program for MS-Windows. To be able to remove the registry entries
+for "Edit with Vim". It is registered to be run from the "Add/Remove
+programs" application. See patch 5.4.x7.
+
+
+Fixed *fixed-5.5*
+-----
+
+When using vimrc_example.vim: An error message when the cursor is on a line
+higher than the number of lines in the compressed file. Move the autocommand
+for jumping to the last known cursor position to after the decompressing
+autocommands.
+
+":mkexrc" and ":mksession" wrote the current value of 'textmode'. That may
+mark a file as modified, which causes problems. This is a buffer-specific
+setting, it should not affect all files.
+
+"vim --version" wrote two empty lines.
+
+Unix: The alarm signal could kill Vim. It is generated by the Perl alarm()
+function. Ignore SIGALRM.
+
+Win32 GUI: Toolbar still had the yellow bitmap for running a Vim script.
+
+BeOS: "tmo" must be bigtime_t, instead of double. (Seibert)
+
+Patch 5.4.1
+Problem: Test11 fails when $GZIP is set to "-v". (Matthew Jackson)
+Solution: Set $GZIP to an empty string.
+Files: src/testdir/test11.in

+ crash. (Daniel Burrows)
+Solution: Check for b_fname being a NULL pointer.
+Files: src/if_python.c
+
+Patch 5.4.4
+Problem: Win32: When compiled without toolbar, but the 'T' flag is in
+ 'guioptions', there would be an empty space for the toolbar.
+Solution: Add two #ifdefs where checking for the 'T' flag. (Vince Negri)
+Files: src/gui.c
+
+Patch 5.4.5
+Problem: Athena GUI: Using the Buffers.Refresh menu entry caused a crash.
+ Looks like any ":unmenu" command may cause trouble.
+Solution: Disallow ":unmenu" in the Athena version. Disable the Buffers
+ menu, because the Refresh item would not work.
+Files: src/menu.c, runtime/menu.vim
+
+Patch 5.4.6
+Problem: GTK GUI: Using ":gui" in the .gvimrc file caused an error. Only
+ happens when the GUI forks.
+Solution: Don't fork in a recursive call of gui_start().
+Files: src/gui.c
+
+Patch 5.4.7
+Problem: Typing 'q' at the more prompt for the ATTENTION message causes the
+ file loading to be interrupted. (Will Day)
+Solution: Reset got_int after showing the ATTENTION message.
+Files: src/memline.c
+
+Patch 5.4.8
+Problem: Edit some file, ":he", ":opt": options from help window are shown,
+ but pressing space updates from the other window. (Phillipps)
+ Also: When there are changes in the option-window, ":q!" gives an
+ error message.
+Solution: Before creating the option-window, go to a non-help window.
+ Use ":bdel!" to delete the buffer.
+Files: runtime/optwin.vim
+
+Patch 5.4.9
+ Just updates version.h. The real patch has been moved to 5.4.x1.
+ This patch is just to keep the version number correct.

+ should run in the terminal.
+Solution: Use gtk_init_check() instead of gtk_init().
+Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c
+
+Patch 5.4.11
+Problem: When using the 'S' flag in 'cpoptions', 'tabstop' is not copied to
+ the next buffer for some commands, e.g., ":buffer".
+Solution: When the BCO_NOHELP flag is given to buf_copy_options(), still
+ copy the options used by do_help() when neither the "from" or "to"
+ buffer is a help buffer.
+Files: src/option.c
+
+Patch 5.4.12
+Problem: When using 'smartindent', there would be no extra indent if the
+ current line did not have any indent already. (Hanus Adler)
+Solution: There was a wrongly placed "else", that previously matched with
+ the "if" that set trunc_line. Removed the "else" and added a
+ check for trunc_line to be false.
+Files: src/misc1.c
+
+Patch 5.4.13
+Problem: New SGI C compilers need another option for optimisation.
+Solution: Add a check in configure for "-OPT:Olimit". (Chin A Young)
+Files: src/configure.in, src/configure
+

+ on the desktop for some users.
+Solution: Set the menu widget ID for a popup menu to 0. (Thomas Koehler)
+Files: src/gui_motif.c
+
+Patch 5.4.15
+Problem: Since 'backspace' set to 0 has been made Vi compatible, it is no
+ longer possible to only allow deleting autoindent.
+Solution: Make 'backspace' a list of parts, to allow each kind of
+ backspacing separately.
+Files: src/edit.c, src/option.c, src/option.h, src/proto/option.pro,
+ runtime/doc/option.txt, runtime/doc/insert.txt
+
+Patch 5.4.16
+Problem: Multibyte: Locale zh_TW.Big5 was not checked for in configure.
+Solution: Add zh_TW.Big5 to configure check. (Chih-Tsun Huang)
+Files: src/configure.in, src/configure
+
+Patch 5.4.17
+Problem: GUI: When started from inside gvim with ":!gvim", Vim would not
+ start. ":!gvim -f" works fine.
+Solution: After forking, wait a moment in the parent process, to give the
+ child a chance to set its process group.
+Files: src/gui.c
+
+Patch 5.4.18
+Problem: Python: The clear_history() function also exists in a library.
+Solution: Rename clear_history() to clear_hist().
+Files: src/ex_getln.c, src/eval.c, src/proto/ex_getln.pro
+
+Patch 5.4.19
+Problem: In a terminal with 25 lines, there is a more prompt after the
+ ATTENTION message. When hitting 'q' here the dialog prompt
+ doesn't appear and file loading is interrupted. (Will Day)
+Solution: Don't allow quitting the printing of a message for the dialog
+ prompt. Added the msg_noquit_more flag for this.
+Files: src/message.c
+
+Patch 5.4.20
+Problem: GTK: When starting gvim, would send escape sequences to the
+ terminal to switch the cursor off and on.
+Solution: Don't call msg_start() if the GUI is expected to start.
+Files: src/main.c
+
+Patch 5.4.21
+Problem: Motif: Toplevel menu ordering was wrong when using tear-off items.
+Solution: Don't add one to the index for a toplevel menu.
+Files: src/gui_motif.c
+
+Patch 5.4.22
+Problem: In Insert mode, <C-Left>, <S-Left>, <C-Right> and <S-Right> didn't
+ update the column used for vertical movement.
+Solution: Set curwin->w_set_curswant for those commands.
+Files: src/edit.c
+
+Patch 5.4.23
+Problem: When a Visual selection is lost to another program, and then the
+ same text is Visually selected again, the clipboard ownership
+ wasn't regained.
+Solution: Set clipboard.vmode to NUL to force regaining the clipboard.
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.4.24
+Problem: Encryption: When using ":r file" while 'key' has already entered,
+ the 'key' option would be messed up. When writing the file it
+ would be encrypted with an unknown key and lost! (Brad Despres)
+Solution: Don't free cryptkey when it is equal to the 'key' option.
+Files: src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.4.25
+Problem: When 'cindent' is set, but 'autoindent' isn't, comments are not
+ properly indented when starting a new line. (Mitterand)
+Solution: When there is a comment leader for the new line, but 'autoindent'
+ isn't set, do C-indenting.
+Files: src/misc1.c
+
+Patch 5.4.26
+Problem: Multi-byte: a multibyte character is never recognized in a file
+ name, causing a backslash before it to be removed on Windows.

+ vim_isfilec().
+Files: src/charset.c
+
+Patch 5.4.27
+Problem: Entries in the PopUp[nvic] menus were added for several modes, but
+ only deleted for the mode they were used for. This resulted in
+ the entry remaining in the PopUp menu.
+ When removing a PopUp[nvic] menu, the name had been truncated,
+ could result in greying-out the whole PopUp menu.
+Solution: Remove entries for all modes from the PopUp[nvic] menus. Remove
+ the PopUp[nvic] menu entries first, before the name is changed.
+Files: src/menu.c
+
+Patch 5.4.28
+Problem: When using a BufWritePre autocommand to change 'fileformat', the
+ new value would not be used for writing the file.

+ before.
+Files: src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.4.29
+Problem: Athena GUI: When removing the 'g' flag from 'guioptions', using a

+Solution: Always grey-out menus for Athena, don't hide them.
+Files: src/menu.c
+
+Patch 5.4.30
+Problem: BeOS: Suspending Vim with CTRL-Z didn't work (killed Vim). The
+ first character typed after ":sh" goes to Vim, instead of the
+ started shell.
+Solution: Don't suspend Vim, start a new shell. Kill the async read thread
+ when starting a new shell. It will be restarted later. (Will Day)
+Files: src/os_unix.c, src/ui.c
+
+Patch 5.4.31
+Problem: GUI: When 'mousefocus' is set, moving the mouse over where a
+ window boundary was, causes a hit-enter prompt to be finished.
+ (Jeff Walker)
+Solution: Don't use 'mousefocus' at the hit-enter prompt. Also ignore it
+ for the more prompt and a few other situations. When an operator
+ is pending, abort it first.
+Files: src/gui.c
+
+Patch 5.4.32
+Problem: Unix: $LDFLAGS was not passed to configure.
+Solution: Pass $LDFLAGS to configure just like $CFLAGS. (Jon Miner)
+Files: src/Makefile
+
+Patch 5.4.33
+Problem: Unix: After expanding an environment variable with the shell, the
+ next expansion would also use the shell, even though it is not
+ needed.
+Solution: Reset "recursive" before returning from gen_expand_wildcards().
+Files: src/misc1.c
+
+Patch 5.4.34 (also see 5.4.x5)
+Problem: When editing a file, and the file name is relative to a directory
+ above the current directory, the file name was made absolute.
+ (Gregory Margo)
+Solution: Add an argument to shorten_fnames() which indicates if all file
+ names should be shortened, or only absolute names. In main() only
+ use shorten_fnames() to shorten absolute names.
+Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/fileio.c, src/main.c, src/proto/fileio.pro
+
+Patch 5.4.35
+Problem: There is no function to get the current file size.
+Solution: Allow using line2byte() with the number of lines in the file plus
+ one. This returns the offset of the line past the end of the
+ file, which is the file size plus one.
+Files: src/eval.c, runtime/doc/eval.txt
+
+Patch 5.4.36
+Problem: Comparing strings while ignoring case didn't work correctly for
+ some machines. (Mide Steed)
+Solution: vim_stricmp() and vim_strnicmp() only returned 0 or 1. Changed
+ them to return -1 when the first argument is smaller.
+Files: src/misc2.c
+
+Patch 5.4.37 (also see 5.4.40 and 5.4.43)
+Problem: Long strings from the viminfo file are truncated.
+Solution: When writing a long string to the viminfo file, first write a line

+ src/search.c, src/proto/ex_cmds.pro, runtime/syntax/viminfo.vim
+
+Patch 5.4.38
+Problem: In the option-window, ":set go&" resulted in 'go' being handled
+ like a boolean option.
+ Mappings for <Space> and <CR> were overruled by the option-window.
+Solution: When the value of an option isn't 0 or 1, don't handle it like a
+ boolean option.
+ Save and restore mappings for <Space> and <CR> when entering and
+ leaving the option-window.
+Files: runtime/optwin.vim
+
+Patch 5.4.39
+Problem: When setting a hidden option, spaces before the equal sign were
+ not skipped and cause an error message. E.g., ":set csprg =cmd".
+Solution: When skipping over a hidden option, check for a following "=val"
+ and skip it too.
+Files: src/option.c
+
+Patch 5.4.40 (depends on 5.4.37)
+Problem: Compiler error for "atol(p + 1)". (Axel Kielhorn)
+Solution: Add a typecast: "atol((char *)p + 1)".
+Files: src/ex_cmds.c
+
+Patch 5.4.41
+Problem: Some commands that were not included would give an error message,
+ even when after "if 0".
+Solution: Don't give an error message for an unsupported command when not
+ executing the command.
+Files: src/ex_docmd.c
+
+Patch 5.4.42
+Problem: ":w" would also cause a truncated message to appear in the message
+ history.
+Solution: Don't put a kept message in the message history when it starts
+ with "<".
+Files: src/message.c
+
+Patch 5.4.43 (depends on 5.4.37)
+Problem: Mixing long lines with multiple lines in a register causes errors
+ when writing the viminfo file. (Robinson)
+Solution: When reading the viminfo file to skip register contents, skip
+ lines that start with "<".
+Files: src/ops.c
+
+Patch 5.4.44
+Problem: When 'whichwrap' includes '~', a "~" command that goes on to the
+ next line cannot be properly undone. (Zellner)
+Solution: Save each line for undo in n_swapchar().
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.4.45 (also see 5.4.x8)
+Problem: When expand("$ASDF") fails, there is an error message.
+Solution: Remove the global expand_interactively. Pass a flag down to skip
+ the error message.
+ Also: expand("$ASDF") returns an empty string if $ASDF isn't set.
+ Previously it returned "$ASDF" when 'shell' is "sh".
+ Also: system() doesn't print an error when the command returns an
+ error code.
+Files: many
+
+Patch 5.4.46
+Problem: Backspacing did not always use 'softtabstop' after hitting <CR>,
+ inserting a register, moving the cursor, etc.
+Solution: Reset inserted_space much more often in edit().
+Files: src/edit.c
+
+Patch 5.4.47
+Problem: When executing BufWritePre or BufWritePost autocommands for a
+ hidden buffer, the cursor could be moved to a non-existing
+ position. (Vince Negri)
+Solution: Save and restore the cursor and topline for the current window
+ when it is going to be used to execute autocommands for a hidden
+ buffer. Use an existing window for the buffer when it's not
+ hidden.
+Files: src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.4.48
+Problem: A paste with the mouse in Insert mode was not repeated exactly the
+ same with ".". For example, when 'autoindent' is set and pasting
+ text with leading indent. (Perry)
+Solution: Add the CTRL-R CTRL-O r and CTRL-R CTRL-P r commands in Insert
+ mode, which insert the contents of a register literally.
+Files: src/edit.c, src/normal.c, runtime/doc/insert.txt
+
+Patch 5.4.49
+Problem: When pasting text with [ <MiddleMouse>, the cursor could end up
+ after the last character of the line.
+Solution: Correct the cursor position for the change in indent.
+Files: src/ops.c
+
+Patch 5.4.x1 (note: Replaces patch 5.4.9)

+ it is used.
+Files: src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.4.x2

+ with acquire_sem_etc(). (Will Day)
+Files: src/os_beos.c, src/ui.c
+
+Patch 5.4.x3
+Problem: Win32 GUI: When dropping a directory on a running gvim it crashes.

+Files: src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.4.x6
+Problem: Win32: Expanding (dir)name starting with a dot doesn't work.
+ (McCormack) Only when there is a path before it.
+Solution: Fix the check, done before expansion, if the file name pattern
+ starts with a dot.
+Files: src/os_win32.c
+
+Patch 5.4.x7
+Problem: Win32 GUI: Removing "Edit with Vim" from registry is difficult.
+Solution: Add uninstall program to remove the registry keys. It is installed
+ in the "Add/Remove programs" list for ease of use.
+ Also: don't set $VIM when the executable is with the runtime files.

+Problem: Win32 GUI: After executing an external command, focus is not
+ always regained (when using focus-follows-mouse).
+Solution: Add SetFocus() in mch_system(). (Mike Steed)
+Files: src/os_win32.c
+
+
+Patch 5.5a.1
+Problem: ":let @* = @:" did not work. The text was not put on the
+ I clipboard. (Fisher)
+Solution: Own the clipboard and put the text on it.
+Files: src/ops.c
+
+Patch 5.5a.2
+Problem: append() did not mark the buffer modified. Marks below the
+ new line were not adjusted.
+Solution: Fix the f_append() function.
+Files: src/eval.c
+
+Patch 5.5a.3
+Problem: Editing compressed ".gz" files doesn't work on non-Unix systems,
+ because there is no "mv" command.
+Solution: Add the rename() function and use it instead of ":!mv".
+ Also: Disable the automatic jump to the last position, because it
+ changes the jumplist.
+Files: src/eval.c, runtime/doc/eval.txt, runtime/vimrc_example.vim
+
+Patch 5.5a.4
+Problem: When using whole-line completion in insert mode while the cursor
+ is in the indent, get "out of memory" error. (Stekrt)
+Solution: Don't allocate a negative amount of memory in ins_complete().
+Files: src/edit.c
+
+Patch 5.5a.5
+Problem: Win32: The 'path' option can hold only up to 256 characters,
+ because _MAX_PATH is 256. (Robert Webb)
+Solution: Use a fixed path length of 1024.
+Files: src/os_win32.h
+
+Patch 5.5a.6
+Problem: Compiling with gcc on Win32, using the Unix Makefile, didn't work.
+Solution: Add $(SUFFIX) to all places where an executable is used. Also
+ pass it to ctags. (Reynolds)
+Files: src/Makefile
+
+Patch 5.5a.7
+Problem: When using "cat | vim -" in an xterm, the xterm version reply
+ would end up in the file.
+Solution: Read the file from stdin before switching the terminal to RAW
+ mode. Should also avoid problems with programs that use a
+ specific terminal setting.
+ Also: when using the GUI, print "Reading from stdin..." in the GUI
+ window, to give a hint why it doesn't do anything.
+Files: src/main.c, src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.5a.8
+Problem: On multi-threaded Solaris, suspending doesn't work.
+Solution: Call pause() when the SIGCONT signal was not received after
+ sending the SIGTSTP signal. (Nagano)

+
+Patch 5.5a.9
+Problem: 'winaltkeys' could be set to an empty argument, which is illegal.
+Solution: Give an error message when doing ":set winaltkeys=".
+Files: src/option.c
+
+Patch 5.5a.10
+Problem: Win32 console: Using ALTGR on a German keyboard to produce "}"
+ doesn't work, because the 8th bit is set when ALT is pressed.

+Files: src/os_win32.c
+
+Patch 5.5a.11
+Problem: Tcl: Configure always uses tclsh8.0.
+ Also: Loading a library doesn't work.

+ name for the tcl shell.
+ Call Tcl_Init() in tclinit() to make loading libraries work.
+ (Johannes Zellner)
+Files: src/configure.in, src/configure, src/if_tcl.c
+
+Patch 5.5a.12
+Problem: The "user_commands" feature is called "user-commands".
+Solution: Replace "user-commands" with "user_commands". (Kim Sung-bom)
+ Keep "user-commands" for the has() function, to remain backwards
+ compatible with 5.4.
+Files: src/eval.c, src/version.c
+
+Patch 5.5a.13
+Problem: OS/2: When $HOME is not defined, "C:/" is used for the viminfo
+ file. That is very wrong when OS/2 is on another partition.
+Solution: Use $VIM for the viminfo file when it is defined, like for MSDOS.
+ Also: Makefile.os2 didn't depend on os_unix.h.
+Files: src/os_unix.h, src/Makefile.os2
+
+Patch 5.5a.14
+Problem: Athena, Motif and GTK: The Mouse scroll wheel doesn't work.
+Solution: Interpret a click of the wheel as a key press of the <MouseDown>
+ or <MouseUp> keys. Default behavior is to scroll three lines, or
+ a full page when Shift is used.

+
+Patch 5.5a.15
+Problem: Using CTRL-A in Insert mode doesn't work correctly when the insert
+ started with the <Insert> key. (Andreas Rohrschneider)
+Solution: Replace <Insert> with "i" before setting up the redo buffer.
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.5a.16
+Problem: VMS: GUI does not compile and run.
+Solution: Various fixes. (Zoltan Arpadffy)
+ Moved functions from os_unix.c to ui.c, so that VMS can use them
+ too: open_app_context(), x11_setup_atoms() and clip_x11* functions.
+ Made xterm_dpy global, it's now used by ui.c and os_unix.c.
+ Use gethostname() always, sys_hostname doesn't exist.

+ src/screen.c
+
+Patch 5.5b.2
+Problem: When using "CTRL-O O" in Insert mode, hit <Esc> and then "o" in
+ another line truncates that line. (Devin Weaver)
+Solution: When using a command that starts Insert mode from CTRL-O, reset
+ "restart_edit" first. This avoids that edit() is called with a
+ mix of starting a new edit command and restarting a previous one.
+Files: src/normal.c

+separately, avoids redrawing artifacts. (Mike Steed)
+
+Fix a few multibyte problems in menu_name_skip(), set_reg_ic(), searchc() and
+findmatchlimit(). (Taro Muraoka)
+
+GTK GUI:
+- With GTK 1.2.5 and later the scrollbars were not redrawn correctly.
+- Adjusted the gtk_form_draw() function.
+- SNiFF connection didn't work.

+ space correctly. For example "./configure --previs="/My home".
+ (Stephane Chazelas)
+Solution: Use '"$@"' instead of '$*' to pass on the arguments.
+Files: configure
+
+Patch 5.5.002

+Files: src/os_unix.c
+
+Patch 5.5.003
+Problem: The autoconf check for sizeof(int) is wrong on machines where

+ cross-compiling.
+Files: src/configure.in, src/configure
+
+Patch 5.5.004
+Problem: On Unix it's not possible to interrupt ":sleep 100".
+Solution: Switch terminal to cooked mode while asleep, to allow a SIGINT to
+ wake us up. But switch off echo, added TMODE_SLEEP.
+Files: src/term.h, src/os_unix.c
+
+Patch 5.5.005
+Problem: When using <f-args> with a user command, an empty argument to the
+ command resulted in one empty string, while no string was
+ expected.
+Solution: Catch an empty argument and pass no argument to the function.
+ (Paul Moore)
+Files: src/ex_docmd.c
+
+Patch 5.5.006
+Problem: Python: When platform-dependent files are in another directory
+ than the platform-independent files it doesn't work.
+Solution: Also check the executable directory, and add it to CFLAGS. (Tessa
+ Lau)
+Files: src/configure.in, src/configure
+
+Patch 5.5.007 (extra)
+Problem: Win32 OLE: Occasional crash when exiting while still being used

+Files: src/ctags/*
+
+Patch 5.5.011

+ other operators leave the cursor on the last changed character.
+ (Xiangjiang Ma)
+Solution: Position cursor on last changed character, if possible.
+Files: src/ops.c
+
+Patch 5.5.012
+Problem: Using CTRL-] in Visual mode doesn't work when the text includes a
+ space (just where it's useful). (Stefan Bittner)
+Solution: Don't escape special characters in a tag name with a backslash.
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.5.013
+Problem: The ":append" and ":insert" commands allow using a leading
+ backslash in a line. The ":source" command concatenates those
+ lines. (Heinlein)
+Solution: Add the 'C' flag in 'cpoptions' to switch off concatenation.
+Files: src/ex_docmd.c, src/option.h, runtime/doc/options.txt,
+ runtime/filetype.vim, runtime/scripts.vim

+
+Patch 5.5.015

+ for the number of changes.
+Files: src/ex_cmds.c
+
+Patch 5.5.016 (extra)

+Files: src/dosinst.c
+
+Patch 5.5.017
+Problem: If an error occurs when closing the current window, Vim could get
+ stuck in the error handling.
+Solution: Don't set curwin to NULL when closing the current window.
+Files: src/window.c
+
+Patch 5.5.018
+Problem: Absolute paths in shell scripts do not always work.

+Files: src/ex_docmd.c
+
+Patch 5.5.020
+Problem: When the output of CTRL-D completion in the commandline goes all
+ the way to the last column, there is an empty line.
+Solution: Don't add a newline when the cursor wrapped already. (Madsen)
+Files: src/ex_getln.c
+
+Patch 5.5.021
+Problem: When checking if a file name in the tags file is relative,
+ environment variables were not expanded.
+Solution: Expand the file name before checking if it is relative. (Madsen)
+Files: src/tag.c
+
+Patch 5.5.022
+Problem: When setting or resetting 'paste' the ruler wasn't updated.
+Solution: Update the status lines when 'ruler' changes because of 'paste'.
+Files: src/option.c
+
+Patch 5.5.023
+Problem: When editing a new file and autocommands change the cursor
+ position, the cursor was moved back to the first non-white, unless
+ 'startofline' was reset.
+Solution: Keep the new column, just like the line number.
+Files: src/ex_cmds.c
+
+Patch 5.5.024 (extra)
+Problem: Win32 GUI: When using confirm() to put up a dialog without a
+ default button, the dialog would not have keyboard focus.
+ (Krishna)
+Solution: Always set focus to the dialog window. Only set focus to a button
+ when a default one is specified.
+Files: src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.5.025
+Problem: When using "keepend" in a syntax region, a contained match that
+ includes the end-of-line could still force that region to
+ continue, if there is another contained match in between.
+Solution: Check the keepend_level in check_state_ends().
+Files: src/syntax.c
+
+Patch 5.5.026
+Problem: When starting Vim in a white-on-black xterm, with 'bg' set to
+ "dark", and then starting the GUI with ":gui", setting 'bg' to
+ "light" in the gvimrc, the highlighting isn't set. (Tsjokwing)
+Solution: Set the highlighting when 'bg' is changed in the gvimrc, even
+ though full_screen isn't set.
+Files: src/option.c
+
+Patch 5.5.027
+Problem: Unix: os_unix.c doesn't compile when XTERM_CLIP is used but
+ WANT_TITLE isn't. (Barnum)
+Solution: Move a few functions that are used by the X11 title and clipboard
+ and put another "#if" around it.
+Files: src/os_unix.c
+
+Patch 5.5.028 (extra)
+Problem: Win32 GUI: When a file is dropped on Win32 gvim while at the ":"
+ prompt, the file is edited but the command line is actually still
+ there, the cursor goes back to command line on the next command.
+ (Krishna)
+Solution: When dropping a file or directory on gvim while at the ":" prompt,
+ insert the name of the file/directory. Allows using the
+ file/directory name for any Ex command.
+Files: src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.5.029
+Problem: "das" at the end of the file didn't delete the last character of
+ the sentence.
+Solution: When there is no character after the sentence, make the operation
+ inclusive in current_sent().
+Files: src/search.c
+
+Patch 5.5.030
+Problem: Unix: in os_unix.c, "term_str" is used, which is also defined in

+ exit gracefully. Allow the user to cancel the shutdown if there
+ is a changed buffer.
+Files: src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.5.032
+Problem: Patch 5.5.025 wasn't right. And C highlighting was still not
+ working correctly for a #define.
+Solution: Added "excludenl" argument to ":syntax", to be able not to extend
+ a containing item when there is a match with the end-of-line.
+Files: src/syntax.c, runtime/doc/syntax.txt, runtime/syntax/c.vim
+
+Patch 5.5.033
+Problem: When reading from stdin, a long line in viminfo would mess up the
+ file message. readfile() uses IObuff for keep_msg, which could be
+ overwritten by anyone.
+Solution: Copy the message from IObuff to msg_buf and set keep_msg to that.
+ Also change vim_fgets() to not use IObuff any longer.
+Files: src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.5.034
+Problem: "gvim -rv" caused a crash. Using 't_Co' before it's set.
+Solution: Don't try to initialize the highlighting before it has been
+ initialized from main().
+Files: src/syntax.c
+
+Patch 5.5.035
+Problem: GTK with XIM: Resizing with status area was messy, and

+ (Chi-Deok Hwang)
+Files: src/gui_gtk_f.c, src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/multbyte.c
+
+Patch 5.5.036
+Problem: The GZIP_read() function in $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim to
+ uncompress a file did not do detection for 'fileformat'. This is
+ because the filtering is done with 'binary' set.
+Solution: Split the filtering into separate write, filter and read commands.
+Files: runtime/vimrc_example.vim
+
+Patch 5.5.037
+Problem: The "U" command didn't mark the buffer as changed. (McCormack)
+Solution: Set the 'modified' flag when using "U".
+Files: src/undo.c
+
+Patch 5.5.038
+Problem: When typing a long ":" command, so that the screen scrolls up,
+ causes the hit-enter prompt, even though the user just typed
+ return to execute the command.
+Solution: Reset need_wait_return if (part of) the command was typed in
+ getcmdline().
+Files: src/ex_getln.c
+
+Patch 5.5.039
+Problem: When using a custom status line, "%a" (file # of #) reports the
+ index of the current window for all windows.
+Solution: Pass a window pointer to append_arg_number(), and pass the window
+ being updated from build_stl_str_hl(). (Stephen P. Wall)
+Files: src/buffer.c, src/screen.c, src/proto/buffer.pro
+
+Patch 5.5.040
+Problem: Multi-byte: When there is some error in xim_real_init(), it can
+ close XIM and return. After this there can be a segv.
+Solution: Test "xic" for being non-NULL, don't set "xim" to NULL. Also try
+ to find more matches for supported styles. (Sung-Hyun Nam)
+Files: src/multbyte.c
+
+Patch 5.5.041
+Problem: X11 GUI: CTRL-_ requires the SHIFT key only on some machines.
+Solution: Translate CTRL-- to CTRL-_. (Robert Webb)
+Files: src/gui_x11.c
+
+Patch 5.5.042
+Problem: X11 GUI: keys with ALT were assumed to be used for the menu, even
+ when the menu has been disabled by removing 'm' from 'guioptions'.
+Solution: Ignore keys with ALT only when gui.menu_is_active is set. (Raf)
+Files: src/gui_x11.c
+
+Patch 5.5.043
+Problem: GTK: Handling of fontset fonts was not right when 'guifontset'
+ contains exactly 14 times '-'.
+Solution: Avoid setting fonts when working with a fontset. (Sung-Hyun Nam)
+Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c
+
+Patch 5.5.044
+Problem: pltags.pl contains an absolute path "/usr/local/bin/perl". That
+ might not work everywhere.
+Solution: Use "/usr/bin/env perl" instead.
+Files: runtime/tools/pltags.pl
+
+Patch 5.5.045
+Problem: Using "this_session" variable does not work, requires preceding it
+ with "v:". Default filename for ":mksession" isn't mentioned
+ in the docs. (Fisher)
+Solution: Support using "this_session" to be backwards compatible.
+Files: src/eval.c, runtime/doc/options.txt
+
+Patch 5.5.046 (extra)

+Solution: Turn the #define MENU_MODE_CHARS into an array. (Arpadffy)
+Files: src/structs.h, src/menu.c
+
+Patch 5.5.048
+Problem: HP-UX 11: Compiling doesn't work, because both string.h and
+ strings.h are included. (Squassabia)
+Solution: The configure test for including both string.h and strings.h
+ must include <Xm/Xm.h> first, because it causes problems.
+Files: src/configure.in, src/configure, src/config.h.in
+
+Patch 5.5.049
+Problem: Unix: When installing Vim, the protection bits of files might be
+ influenced by the umask.
+Solution: Add $(FILEMOD) to Makefile. (Shetye)

+
+The 16 bit MS-DOS version is now compiled with Bcc 3.1 instead of 4.0. The
+executable is smaller.
+
+When a "make test" failed, the output file was lost. Rename it to
+test99.failed to be able to see what went wrong.
+
+After sourcing bugreport.vim, it's not clear that bugreport.txt has been

+
+Win32 with Borland C++ 5.5: Pass the path to the compiler on to xxd and ctags,
+to avoid depending on $PATH. Fixed "make clean".

+
+Patch 5.6.074 (extra)
+Problem: Entering CSI directly doesn't always work, because it's recognized

+
+Patch 5.7.015
+Problem: Syntax files for Vim 6.0 can't be used with 5.x.
+Solution: Add the "default" argument to the ":highlight" command: Ignore the
+ command if highlighting was already specified.
+Files: src/syntax.c
+
+Generate the Syntax menu with makemenu.vim, so that it doesn't have to be done
+when Vim is starting up. Reduces the startup time of the GUI.
+
+
+Fixed *fixed-5.8*
+-----
+
+Conversion of docs to HTML didn't convert "|tag|s" to a hyperlink.
+
+Fixed compiling under NeXT. (Jeroen C.M. Goudswaard)
+
+optwin.vim gave an error when used in Vi compatible mode ('cpo' contains 'C').
+
+Tcl interpreter: "buffer" command didn't check for presence of an argument.
+(Dave Bodenstab)
+
+dosinst.c: Added checks for too long file name.
+
+Amiga: a file name starting with a colon was considered absolute but it isn't.
+Amiga: ":pwd" added a slash when in the root of a drive.
+
+Macintosh: Warnings for unused variables. (Bernhard Pruemmer)
+
+Unix: When catching a deadly signal, handle it in such a way that it's
+unlikely that Vim will hang. Call _exit() instead of exit() in case of a
+severe problem.
+
+Setting the window title from nothing to something didn't work after patch 29.
+
+Check for ownership of .exrc and .vimrc was done with stat(). Use lstat() as
+well for extra security.
+
+Win32 GUI: Printing a file with 'fileformat' "unix" didn't work. Set
+'fileformat' to "dos" before writing the temp file.
+
+Unix: Could start waiting for a character when checking for a CTRL-C typed
+when an X event is received.
+
+Could not use Perl and Python at the same time on FreeBSD, because Perl used
+"-lc" and Python used the threaded C library.
+
+Win32: The Mingw compiler gave a few warning messages.
+
+When using "ZZ" and an autocommand for writing uses an abbreviation it didn't
+work. Don't stuff the ":x" command but execute it directly. (Mikael Berthe)
+
+VMS doesn't always have lstat(), added an #ifdef around it.
+
+Added a few corrections for the Macintosh. (Axel Kielhorn)
+
+Win32: GvimExt could not edit more than a few files at once, the length of the
+argument was fixed.
+
+
+Previously released patches for Vim 5.7:
+
+Patch 5.7.001
+Problem: When the current buffer is encrypted, and another modified buffer
+ isn't, ":wall" will encrypt the other buffer.
+Solution: In buf_write() use "buf" instead of "curbuf" to check for the
+ crypt key.
+Files: src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.7.002
+Problem: When 'showmode' is set, using "CTRL-O :r file" waits three seconds
+ before displaying the read text. (Wichert Akkerman)
+Solution: Set "keep_msg" to the file message so that the screen is redrawn
+ before the three seconds wait for displaying the mode message.
+Files: src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.7.003
+Problem: Searching for "[[:cntrl:]]" doesn't work.
+Solution: Exclude NUL from the matching characters, it terminates the list.
+Files: src/regexp.c
+
+Patch 5.7.004
+Problem: GTK: When selecting a new font, Vim can crash.
+Solution: In gui_mch_init_font() unreference the old font, not the new one.
+Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c
+
+Patch 5.7.005
+Problem: Multibyte: Inserting a wrapped line corrupts kterm screen.
+ Pasting TEXT/COMPOUND_TEXT into Vim does not work.
+ On Motif no XIM status line is displayed even though it is
+ available.
+Solution: Don't use xterm trick for wrapping lines for multibyte mode.
+ Correct a missing "break", added TEXT/COMPOUND_TEXT selection
+ request.
+ Add XIMStatusArea fallback code.
+ (Katsuhito Nagano)
+Files: src/gui_gtk_x11.c, src/multbyte.c, src/screen.c, src/ui.c
+
+Patch 5.7.006
+Problem: GUI: redrawing the non-Visual selection is wrong when the window
+ is unobscured. (Jean-Pierre Etienne)
+Solution: Redraw the selection properly and don't clear it. Added "len"
+ argument to clip_may_redraw_selection().
+Files: src/gui.c, src/ui.c, src/proto/ui.pro
+
+Patch 5.7.007
+Problem: Python: Crash when using the current buffer twice.
+Solution: Increase the reference count for buffer and window objects.
+ (Johannes Zellner)
+Files: src/if_python.c
+
+Patch 5.7.008
+Problem: In Ex mode, backspacing over the first TAB doesn't work properly.
+ (Wichert Akkerman)
+Solution: Switch the cursor on before printing the newline.
+Files: src/ex_getln.c
+
+Patch 5.7.009 (extra)
+Problem: Mac: Crash when using a long file.
+Solution: Don't redefine malloc() and free(), because it will break using
+ realloc().
+Files: src/os_mac.h
+
+Patch 5.7.010
+Problem: When using CTRL-A on a very long number Vim can crash. (Michael
+ Naumann)
+Solution: Truncate the length of the new number to avoid a buffer overflow.
+Files: src/ops.c
+
+Patch 5.7.011 (extra)
+Problem: Win32 GUI on NT 5 and Win98: Displaying Hebrew is reversed.
+Solution: Output each character separately, to avoid that Windows reverses
+ the text for some fonts. (Ron Aaron)
+Files: src/gui_w32.c
+
+Patch 5.7.012
+Problem: When using "-complete=buffer" for ":command" the user command
+ fails.
+Solution: In a user command don't replace the buffer name with a count for
+ the buffer number.
+Files: src/ex_docmd.c
+
+Patch 5.7.013
+Problem: "gD" didn't always find a match in the first line, depending on
+ the column the search started at.
+Solution: Reset the column to zero before starting to search.
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.7.014
+Problem: Rot13 encoding was done on characters with accents, which is
+ wrong. (Sven Gottwald)
+Solution: Only do rot13 encoding on ASCII characters.
+Files: src/ops.c
+
+Patch 5.7.016
+Problem: When hitting 'n' for a ":s///c" command, the ignore-case flag was
+ not restored, some matches were skipped. (Daniel Blaustein)
+Solution: Restore the reg_ic variable when 'n' was hit.
+Files: src/ex_cmds.c
+
+Patch 5.7.017
+Problem: When using a Vim script for Vim 6.0 with <SID> before a function
+ name, it produces an error message even when inside an "if version
+ >= 600". (Charles Campbell)
+Solution: Ignore errors in the function name when the function is not going
+ to be defined.
+Files: src/eval.c
+
+Patch 5.7.018
+Problem: When running "rvim" or "vim -Z" it was still possible to execute a
+ shell command with system() and backtick-expansion. (Antonios A.
+ Kavarnos)
+Solution: Disallow executing a shell command in get_cmd_output() and
+ mch_expand_wildcards().
+Files: src/misc1.c, src/os_unix.c
+
+Patch 5.7.019
+Problem: Multibyte: In a substitute string, a multibyte character isn't
+ skipped properly, can be a problem when the second byte is a
+ backslash.
+Solution: Skip an extra byte for a double-byte character. (Muraoka Taro)
+Files: src/ex_cmds.c
+
+Patch 5.7.020
+Problem: Compilation doesn't work on MacOS-X.
+Solution: Add a couple of #ifdefs. (Jamie Curmi)
+Files: src/regexp.c, src/ctags/general.h
+
+Patch 5.7.021
+Problem: Vim sometimes produces a beep when started in an xterm. Only
+ happens when compiled without mouse support.
+Solution: Requesting the xterm version results in a K_IGNORE. This wasn't
+ handled when mouse support is disabled. Accept K_IGNORE always.
+Files: src/normal.c
+
+Patch 5.7.022
+Problem: %v in 'statusline' is not displayed when it's equal to %c.
+Solution: Check if %V or %v is used and handle them differently.
+Files: src/screen.c
+
+Patch 5.7.023
+Problem: Crash when a WinLeave autocommand deletes the buffer in the other
+ window.
+Solution: Check that after executing the WinLeave autocommands there still
+ is a window to be closed. Also update the test that was supposed
+ to check for this problem.
+Files: src/window.c, testdir/test13.in, testdir/test13.ok
+
+Patch 5.7.024
+Problem: Evaluating an expression for 'statusline' can have side effects.
+Solution: Evaluate the expression in a sandbox.
+Files: src/edit.c, src/eval.c, src/proto/eval.pro, src/ex_cmds.c,
+ src/ex_cmds.h, src/ex_docmd.c, src/globals.h, src/option.c,
+ src/screen.c, src/undo.c
+
+Patch 5.7.025 (fixed)
+Problem: Creating a temp file has a race condition.
+Solution: Create a private directory to write the temp files in.
+Files: src/fileio.c, src/misc1.c, src/proto/misc1.pro,
+ src/proto/fileio.pro, src/memline.c, src/os_unix.h
+
+Patch 5.7.026 (extra)
+Problem: Creating a temp file has a race condition.
+Solution: Create a private directory to write the temp files in.
+ This is the extra part of patch 5.7.025.
+Files: src/os_msdos.h
+
+Patch 5.7.027
+Problem: Starting to edit a file can cause a crash. For example when in
+ Insert mode, using CTRL-O :help abbr<Tab> to scroll the screen and
+ then <CR>, which edits a help file. (Robert Bogomip)
+Solution: Check if keep_msg is NULL before copying it.
+Files: src/fileio.c
+
+Patch 5.7.028
+Problem: Creating a backup or swap file could fail in rare situations.
+Solution: Use O_EXCL for open().
+Files: src/fileio.c, src/memfile.c
+
+Patch 5.7.029

+Solution: Check for length of the name when setting the window title.
+Files: src/buffer.c
+
+Patch 5.7.030
