Happy Birthday Vim 🎉

Thank you Bram. RIP.

Merry Christmas Vimmers 🎄🎁🎊 (to those celebrating)

.... and a happy new year 🎊🍀🥂

Hello Vimmers,

from now on I will post the github diffs here in this channel. Please let me know if you don't like it.

What are these diffs? I have set up a script that extracts changes in the Vim documentation. The idea is to learn about new features early without having to search in the Github commit diffs of the official Vim repo.

For the last months I posted them in the english Vim group, but there was not much reaction and the other language Vim groups are missing out. So I wanna try posting them here.

I don't post every diff, only the ones where new functionality seems to be have added.

Here is todays post.

And just for fun the last 5 as well

if you want more, you can search in the english group for raw.githack.com or you can go to https://github.com/VimWorkgroup/vimdocdiff/commits/main/ to get the unfiltered list of changes.

Happy Vimming
