Vim 9.1.1391 brings a vertical tabpanel
[2025-05-16]
Vim patch 9.1.1391 adds support for a vertical tabpanel.
Vim patch v9.1.1391 brings support for a vertical tabpanel. This is similar to the tabline feature, but instead of using a single horizontally line to show all tabpages, Vim will use a vertical tabpanel.
You can customize how this should look like when to display the tabpanel and what exactly should be shown using the various tabpanel options ('tabpanel', 'tabpanelopt' and 'showtabpanel' option.)
You can find some examples of how this changes, when looking at the pictures provided at the pull request 17263. This change has been contributed by Naruhiko Nishino, thanks for improving Vim!

Vim 9.1.1243 improves the diff highlighting
[2025-03-27]
Vim patch 9.1.1243 brings some nice improvements to the vim diff highlighting.
It is now possible to enable character- and word diffs. This brings it closer to other diff highlighting tools like meld and Visual Studio Code.
You can enable this by setting the new suboption "inline" for the "diffopt" setting like this: :set diffopt+=inline:word or :set diffopt+=inline:char .
You can find some examples of how this changes, when looking at the pictures provided at the pull request 16881. This change has been contributed by Yee Cheng Chin, thanks for improving Vim! (Christian Brabandt)
