vim-airline-0.11.zip 0.11 2019-11-10 7.2 Bailey Ling   - New features
    - Extensions:
      - [Coc](https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim) support
      - [Defx](https://github.com/Shougo/defx.nvim) support
      - [gina](https://github.com/lambdalisue/gina.vim) support
      - [vim-bookmark](https://github.com/MattesGroeger/vim-bookmarks) support

      - [tabws](https://github.com/s1341/vim-tabws) support for the tabline
  - Improvements
    - The statusline can be configured to be shown on top (in the tabline)
      Set the `g:airline_statusline_ontop` to enable this experimental feature.
    - If `buffer_idx_mode=2`, up to 89 mappings will be exposed to access more
      buffers directly (issue [#1823](https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline/issues/1823))

      airline theme (at least if a random number can be generated :()

      (will append a ! or ⚡if the repository is considered dirty).
    - The whitespace extensions will also check for conflict markers
    - `:AirlineRefresh` command now takes an additional `!` attribute, that **skips**
      recreating the highlighting groups (which might have a serious performance
      impact if done very often, as might be the case when the configuration variable

    - add a new short_path formatter for the tabline [#1898](https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline/pull/1898)
