Vim v9.1.1577 brings generic support to Vim9 script
[2025-07-22]
We're excited to share that as of Vim version 9.1.1577, Vim9 Script now supports
generic types — a powerful step toward stronger type safety
and reusability in scripting.
This feature was introduced in Pull Request
#17313 and
enables you to write reusable, type-safe functions using generic parameters.
To learn more and see usage examples, open Vim and type :h
generic-functions.
Special thanks to Yegappan Lakshmanan for implementing this
valuable addition to Vim!
Happy Vimming!

Vim Update: New Diff Anchor Feature
[2025-07-16]
Vim now supports the 'diffanchors' option to improve the accuracy of diffing large or complex files.
This feature allows users to specify line anchors that split buffers into smaller sections. Each section is diffed separately,
resulting in more meaningful and aligned differences.
This feature was introduced in
patch v9.1.1557. Special thanks to Yee Cheng Chin for the contribution!
Happy Vimming!

|
(09/10/2025) The auto function that handles the back-stop refresh was causing two problems, both caused by the way it iterated through the windows. Following correction to this, a similar issue was found in a couple of other areas (and the corrections actually improve the code :-) which is nice). See README for full details
Thanks again go to Gary Johnson for finding this issue and proposing a patch - Richard Bentley-Green |

SelX : A Rainbow of Vim selection/highlighting & search |
|
(08/10/2025) Reworked a number of functions that iterate through the displayed windows. This was primarily because it was found that the original method used was potentially problematic. See README for full details - Richard Bentley-Green |

WG Rainbow Delimiter Highlighter : highlights nested delimiters with different colors to aid readability |

(v6) In V6, the Linux bug where some Windows newlines caused the plugin to break has been fixed:
The previous release of my rainbow highlighter (v5) accidentally included Windows-based newlines that caused the plugin to fail to load on Linux systems that did not have automatic line ending conversion set up for Vim or elsewhere.
