I don’t really have a good way to keep up with new features in neovim, especially new APIs that really only matter to plugin developers.
Has there been any new functionality that I have missed out on in 0.8+?
Is there a good way to find this out on my own? There 's a lot of activity on the repo so watching PRs doesn’t really work for me.
There is also https://this-week-in-neovim.org/ with neovim news.
The author announced that he’s not renewing the domain name because he doesn’t use neovim anymore 😭
The author has announced (in r/neovim…) that someone else is taking over the project.
You can now find it on dotfyle)
Sometimes people will make blog posts or youtube videos about the most exciting new features in a release. You can always go through the release notes for a given version, but it can be a lot and it’s not necessarily obvious what the implications of a given line are. For example, “$NVIM_APPNAME” is a pretty opaque changelog entry that actually has some really neat applications as a config switcher.
My personal picks for things that have been interesting to me as a user are:
- exrc works again (
:help exrc) - better built-in clipboard support for tmux
- built-in editorconfig support
- winbar
idk why I find $NVIM_APPNAME pretty slow for some reason
- exrc works again (
