When a (non-experimental) feature is slated to be removed it should:
1. Be _soft_ deprecated in the _next_ release

- There are two separate palettes: dark and light. They all contain the same
set of colors exported as `NvimDark*` and `NvimLight*` colors respectively.
- The dark palette is used for background in the dark color scheme and for
foreground in the light color scheme; and vice versa. This introduces
recognizable visual system without too standing out.
- Actual computation of palettes should be done in a perceptually uniform
color space. Oklch is a good choice.
- Each palette has the following colors (descriptions are for dark background;
reverse for light one):
- Four shades of colored "cold" greys for general UI.
- Dark ones (from darkest to lightest) are reserved as background for
|hl-NormalFloat| (considered as "black"), |hl-Normal| (background),
|hl-CursorLine|, |hl-Visual|.
- Light ones (also from darkest to lightest) are reserved for
`Comment`, |hl-StatusLine|/|hl-TabLine|, |hl-Normal| (foreground),
and color considered as "white".
- Six colors to provide enough terminal colors: red, yellow, green, cyan,
blue, magenta.
They should have (reasonably) similar lightness and chroma to make them
visually coherent. Lightness should be as equal to the palette's basic grey
(which is used for |hl-Normal|) as possible. They should have (reasonably)
different hues to make them visually separable.

- Greys are not used and are replaced with the foreground and background
colors of the terminal emulator.

Highlight groups
Use:
- Grey shades for general UI according to their design.
- Bold text for keywords (`Statement` highlight group). This is an important
choice to increase accessibility for people with color deficiencies, as it
doesn't rely on actual color.
- Green for strings, |hl-DiffAdd| (as background), |hl-DiagnosticOk|, and some
minor text UI elements.
- Cyan as main syntax color, i.e. for function usage (`Function` highlight

- Red to generally mean high user attention, i.e. errors; in particular for
|hl-ErrorMsg|, |hl-DiffDelete|, |hl-DiagnosticError|.
- Yellow very sparingly to mean mild user attention, i.e. warnings. That is,

BREAKING CHANGES *news-breaking*
The following changes may require adaptations in user config or plugins.
These changes may require adaptations in your config or plugins.
• In some cases, the cursor in the Nvim |TUI| used to blink even without
configuring 'guicursor' as mentioned in |cursor-blinking|. This was a bug
that has now been fixed. If your cursor has stopped blinking, add the
following (or similar, adapted to user preference) to your |config| file: >vim
• API:
• |nvim_open_win()| now blocks all autocommands when `noautocmd` is set,
rather than just those from setting the `buffer` to display in the window.
set guicursor+=n-v-c:blinkon500-blinkoff500
• Defaults:
• Default color scheme has been updated to be "Nvim branded" and accessible.
Use `:colorscheme vim` to revert to the old legacy color scheme.
• These Nvim specific highlight groups are now defined in a meaningfully
different way and might need an update:
• |hl-FloatBorder| is linked to |hl-NormalFloat| instead of |hl-WinSeparator|.
• |hl-NormalFloat| is not linked to |hl-Pmenu|.
• |hl-WinBar| has different background.
• |hl-WinBarNC| is similar to |hl-WinBar| but not bold.
• |hl-WinSeparator| is linked to |hl-Normal| instead of |hl-VertSplit|.
• This also might result into some color schemes looking differently due
to them relying on implicit assumptions about how highlight groups are
defined by default. To account for this, define all attributes of
highlight groups explicitly. Alternatively, use `:colorscheme vim` or
`:source $VIMRUNTIME/colors/vim.lua` to restore previous definitions.
• 'termguicolors' is enabled by default when Nvim is able to determine that
the host terminal emulator supports 24-bit color.
• Editor
• When switching windows, |CursorMoved| autocommands trigger when Nvim is
back in the main loop rather than immediately. This is more compatible
with Vim.
• "#" followed by a digit no longer stands for a function key at the start
of the lhs of a mapping.
• |shm-q| now fully hides macro recording message instead of only shortening it.
• Signs placed through the legacy |sign-commands| are now stored and
displayed as |extmarks| internally. Along with the following changes:
• A sign placed twice in the same group with the same identifier will be
moved.
• Legacy signs are always deleted along with the line it is placed on.
• Legacy and extmark signs will show up in both |:sign-place-list| and
|nvim_buf_get_extmarks()|.
• Legacy and extmark signs are displayed and listed with the same priority:
line number -> priority -> sign id -> recently placed
• `:behave` was removed.
- If you used `:behave xterm`, the following is equivalent: >vim
set mousemodel=extend
<
• |vim.islist()| now checks whether a table is actually list-like (i.e.,
has integer keys without gaps and starting from 1). For the previous
behavior (only check for integer keys, allow gaps or not starting with 1),
use |vim.isarray()|.
- If you used `:behave mswin`, the following is equivalent: >vim
• "#" followed by a digit no longer stands for a function key at the start of
the lhs of a mapping.
• `:behave` was removed.
- If you used `:behave xterm`, the following is equivalent: >vim
set mousemodel=extend
set selection=exclusive
set selectmode=mouse,key
set mousemodel=popup
set keymodel=startsel,stopsel
<
- If you used `:behave mswin`, the following is equivalent: >vim
set selection=exclusive
set selectmode=mouse,key
set mousemodel=popup
set keymodel=startsel,stopsel
• Events
• Returning any truthy value from a callback passed to
|nvim_create_autocmd()| (rather than just `true`) will delete the
autocommand.
• LSP
• |LanguageTree:parse()| will no longer parse injections by default and now
requires an explicit range argument to be passed. If injections are
required, provide an explicit range via `parser:parse({ start_row, end_row })`.
• |vim.lsp.util.parse_snippet()| will now strictly follow the snippet
grammar defined by LSP, and hence previously parsed snippets might now be
considered invalid input.
• |vim.lsp.codelens.refresh()| now takes an `opts` argument. With this
change, the default behavior of just refreshing the current buffer has
been replaced by refreshing all buffers.
• |vim.lsp.util.extract_completion_items()| will no longer return reliable
results, since it does not apply `itemDefaults` when its input is
a `CompletionList`. Moreover, since support for LSP
`completionList.itemDefaults` was added, some third party plugins might be
negatively impacted in case the language servers support the feature but
the plugin does not. If necessary, the respective capability can be
removed when calling |vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities()|.
• |LspRequest| and LspProgressUpdate (renamed to |LspProgress|) autocmds
were promoted from a |User| autocmd to first class citizen.
• Lua:
• |-l| ensures output ends with a newline if the script prints messages and
doesn't cause Nvim to exit.
• Removed functions from the |vim.json| module:
• Unnecessary, undocumented functions which caused global side-effects.
• `vim.json.null` is redundant with `vim.NIL`.
• `vim.json.array_mt` (and related) is redundant with `vim.empty_dict()`.
• |vim.islist()| now checks whether a table is actually list-like (i.e., has
integer keys without gaps and starting from 1). For the previous behavior
(only check for integer keys, allow gaps or not starting with 1), use
|vim.isarray()|.
• Renamed `vim.treesitter.playground` to `vim.treesitter.dev`.
• Options
• Removed some Vim 5.0<= option compatibilities:
• 'backspace' no longer supports number values. Instead:
• for `backspace=0` set `backspace=` (empty)
• for `backspace=1` set `backspace=indent,eol`
• for `backspace=2` set `backspace=indent,eol,start` (default behavior in Nvim)
• for `backspace=3` set `backspace=indent,eol,nostop`
• 'backupdir' and 'directory' will no longer remove a `>` at the start of
the option.
• |OptionSet| autocommand args |v:option_new|, |v:option_old|,
|v:option_oldlocal|, |v:option_oldglobal| now have the type of the option
instead of always being strings. |v:option_old| is now the old global
value for all global-local options, instead of just string global-local
options.
• Local value for a global-local number/boolean option is now unset when the
option is set (e.g. using |:set| or |nvim_set_option_value()|) without
a scope, which means they now behave the same way as string options.
• Plugins:
• |:TOhtml| has been rewritten in Lua to support Neovim-specific
decorations, and many options have been removed.
• Treesitter
• Treesitter highlight groups have been renamed to be more in line with
upstream tree-sitter and Helix to make it easier to share queries. The
full list is documented in |treesitter-highlight-groups|.
• TUI
• In some cases, the cursor in the Nvim |TUI| used to blink even without
configuring 'guicursor' as mentioned in |cursor-blinking|. This was a bug
that has now been fixed. If your cursor has stopped blinking, add the
following (or similar, adapted to user preference) to your |config| file: >vim

• Renamed nvim_complete_set to nvim__complete_set and marked it as
experimental.
• Renamed vim.snippet.exit() to vim.snippet.stop().
• Changed |event-data| table for |LspProgress|: renamed `result` to `params`.

NEW FEATURES *news-features*
The following new APIs and features were added.
The following new features were added.
• Performance:
• 'diffopt' "linematch" scoring algorithm now favours larger and less groups
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/23611
• Treesitter highlighting now parses injections incrementally during
screen redraws only for the line range being rendered. This significantly
improves performance in large files with many injections.
• 'breakindent' performance is significantly improved for wrapped lines.
• Cursor movement, insertion with [count] and |screenpos()| are now faster.
• |'winfixbuf'| keeps a window focused onto a specific buffer
• |vim.iter()| provides a generic iterator interface for tables and Lua
iterators |for-in|.
• |vim.ringbuf()| creates ring buffers.
• |vim.keycode()| translates keycodes in a string.
• |'smoothscroll'| option to scroll by screen line rather than by text line
when |'wrap'| is set.
• API enhancements
• API
• Passing 0 to |nvim_get_chan_info()| gets info about the current channel.
• |nvim_buf_set_extmark()| supports inline virtual text.
• |nvim_win_text_height()| computes the number of screen lines occupied
by a range of text in a given window.
@ -215,34 +154,81 @@ The following new APIs and features were added.
• Floating windows can now be hidden by setting `hide` in |nvim_open_win()| or
|nvim_win_set_config()|.
• |nvim_input_mouse()| supports mouse buttons "x1" and "x2".
• Added "force_crlf" option field in |nvim_open_term()|.
• Added |nvim_tabpage_set_win()| to set the current window of a tabpage.
• |nvim__win_add_ns()| can bind a |namespace| to a window-local scope(s).
• Extmarks opt-in to this scoping via the `scoped` flag of |nvim_buf_set_extmark()|.
• Mapping APIs now support abbreviations when mode short-name has suffix "a".
• Floating windows can now show footer with new `footer` and `footer_pos`
config fields. Uses |hl-FloatFooter| by default.
• |extmarks| can set a "url" highlight attribute, so the text region can
become a clickable hyperlink (assuming UI support). The TUI renders URLs
using the OSC 8 control sequence, enabling clickable text in supporting
terminals.
• |nvim_open_win()| and |nvim_win_set_config()| now support opening normal
(split) windows, moving floating windows into split windows, and opening
windows in non-current tabpages.
• Flags added to |nvim_buf_set_extmark()|:
- "undo_restore": opt-out extmarks of precise undo tracking.
- "invalidate": automatically hide or delete extmarks.
- "virt_text_repeat_linebreak": repeat virtual text on wrapped lines.
• Extmarks now fully support multi-line ranges, and a single extmark can be
used to highlight a range of arbitrary length. The |nvim_buf_set_extmark()|
API function already allowed you to define such ranges, but highlight
regions were not rendered consistently for a range that covers more than
one line break. This has now been fixed. Signs defined as part of
a multi-line extmark also apply to every line in the range, not just the
first. In addition, |nvim_buf_get_extmarks()| has gained an "overlap"
option to return such ranges even if they started before the specified
position.
• 'foldtext' now supports virtual text format. |fold-foldtext|
• |'foldtext'| can be set to an empty string to disable and render the line:
as normal with regular highlighting and no line wrapping.
• |vim.system()| for running system commands.
• |vim.lpeg| and |vim.re| expose the bundled Lpeg expression grammar parser
and its regex interface.
• Mapping APIs now support abbreviations when mode short-name has suffix "a".
• Better cmdline completion for string option value. |complete-set-option|
• Builtin TUI can now recognize "super" (|<D-|) and "meta" (|<T-|) modifiers in a
terminal emulator that supports |tui-csiu|.
• Defaults:
• The `workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles` LSP client capability is now enabled
by default on Mac and Windows. Disabled on Linux since there currently
isn't a viable backend for watching files that scales well for large
directories.
• On Windows 'isfname' does not include ":". Drive letters are handled
correctly without it. (Use |gF| for filepaths suffixed with ":line:col").
• 'comments' includes "fb:•".
• 'shortmess' includes the "C" flag.
• 'grepprg' uses the -H and -I flags for grep by default,
and defaults to using ripgrep if available.
• "]d" and "[d" in Normal mode map to |vim.diagnostic.goto_next()| and
|vim.diagnostic.goto_prev()|, respectively. |]d-default| |[d-default|
• <C-W>d (and <C-W><C-D>) map to |vim.diagnostic.open_float()|
|CTRL-W_d-default|
• |vim.lsp.start()| sets the following default keymaps (assuming server
support):
• |K| in Normal mode maps to |vim.lsp.buf.hover()|, unless 'keywordprg'
was customized before calling |vim.lsp.start()|.
• Automatic linting of treesitter query files (see |ft-query-plugin|).
Can be disabled via: >lua
vim.g.query_lint_on = {}
<
• Enabled treesitter highlighting for:
• treesitter query files
• Vim help files
• Lua files
• Editor
• Better cmdline completion for string option value. |complete-set-option|
• Try it with `:set listchars=<tab>`
• By default, the swapfile "ATTENTION" |E325| dialog is skipped if the
swapfile is owned by a running Nvim process, instead of prompting. If you
always want the swapfile dialog, delete the default SwapExists handler:
`autocmd! nvim_swapfile`. |default-autocmds|
• Navigating the |jumplist| with CTRL+O, CTRL+I behaves more intuitively
when deleting buffers, and avoids "invalid buffer" cases. #25461
• |:fclose| command.
• |v_Q-default| and |v_@-default| repeat a register for each line of
a linewise visual selection.
• Clicking on a tabpage in the tabline with the middle mouse button closes it.
• |:checkhealth| buffer can be opened in a split window using modifiers like
|:vertical|, |:horizontal| and |:botright|.
• Events
• |vim.on_key()| callbacks receive a second argument for keys typed before
mappings are applied.
• LSP
• LSP method names are available in |vim.lsp.protocol.Methods|.

• `vim.fn.*`
• `vim.api.*`
• `vim.v.*`
• Improved messages for type errors in `vim.api.*` calls (including `opts` params)
• Functions that take a severity as an optional parameter (e.g.
|vim.diagnostic.get()|) now also accept a list of severities |vim.diagnostic.severity|
• Floating windows can now show footer with new `footer` and `footer_pos`
config fields. Uses |hl-FloatFooter| by default.
• |:terminal| command now accepts some |:command-modifiers| (specifically
|:horizontal| and those that affect splitting a window).
• |$NVIM_APPNAME| can be set to a relative path instead of only a name.
• |:fclose| command.
• |vim.snippet| handles expansion of snippets in LSP format.
• 'complete' option supports "f" flag for completing buffer names.
• |vim.base64.encode()| and |vim.base64.decode()| encode and decode strings
using Base64 encoding.
• The |TermResponse| autocommand event can be used with |v:termresponse| to
read escape sequence responses from the terminal.
• A clipboard provider which uses OSC 52 to copy the selection to the system
clipboard is now bundled by default and will be automatically enabled under
certain conditions. |clipboard-osc52|
• 'termsync' option asks the terminal emulator to buffer screen updates until
the redraw cycle is complete. Requires support from the terminal.
• |vim.text.hexencode()| and |vim.text.hexdecode()| convert strings to and
from byte representations.
• 'completeopt' option supports "popup" flag to show extra information in a
floating window.
• |v_Q-default| and |v_@-default| repeat a register for each line of a linewise
visual selection.
• |vim.diagnostic.count()| returns the number of diagnostics for a given
buffer and/or namespace, by severity. This is a faster alternative to
|vim.diagnostic.get()| when only the number of diagnostics is needed, but
not the diagnostics themselves.
• Introduced |vim.diagnostic.is_enabled()|
• |vim.deepcopy()| has a `noref` argument to avoid hashing table values.
• Terminal buffers emit a |TermRequest| autocommand event when the child
process emits an OSC or DCS control sequence.
• Terminal buffers respond to OSC background and foreground requests. |default-autocmds|
• |vim.version.le()| and |vim.version.ge()| are added to |vim.version|.
• |extmarks| can set a "url" highlight attribute, so the text region can
become a clickable hyperlink (assuming UI support). The TUI renders URLs
using the OSC 8 control sequence, enabling clickable text in supporting
terminals.
• Clicking on a tabpage in the tabline with the middle mouse button closes it.
• Added built-in |commenting| support.
• |vim.fs.root()| finds project root directories from a list of "root
markers".
==============================================================================
CHANGED FEATURES *news-changed*
The following changes to existing APIs or features add new behavior.
These existing features changed their behavior.
• |vim.tbl_contains()| now works for general tables and allows specifying a
predicate function that is checked for each value. (Use |vim.list_contains()|
for checking list-like tables (integer keys without gaps) for literal values.)
• API:
• |nvim_buf_call()| and |nvim_win_call()| now preserve any return value (NB:
not multiple return values)
• |vim.region()| can use a string accepted by |getpos()| as position.
• Editor
• |gx| now uses |vim.ui.open()| and not netrw. To customize, you can redefine
`vim.ui.open` or remap `gx`. To continue using netrw (deprecated): >vim
:call netrw#BrowseX(expand(exists("g:netrw_gx")? g:netrw_gx : '<cfile>'), netrw#CheckIfRemote())<CR>
• |vim.on_key()| callbacks receive a second argument for keys typed before
mappings are applied.
• LSP:
• LSP hover and signature help now use Treesitter for highlighting of
Markdown content. Note that highlighting of code examples requires
a matching parser and may be affected by custom queries.
• |LspRequest| autocmd callbacks contain more information about the LSP
request status update that occurred.
• |vim.diagnostic.config()| now accepts a function for the virtual_text.prefix
option, which allows for rendering e.g., diagnostic severities differently.
• Lua:
• |vim.wait()| cannot be called in |api-fast|.
• |vim.diagnostic.config()| now accepts virtual text relevant options to
|nvim_buf_set_extmark()| (e.g. "virt_text_pos" and "hl_mode") in its
"virtual_text" table, which gives users more control over how diagnostic
virtual text is displayed.
• |vim.diagnostic.get()| and |vim.diagnostic.count()| accept multiple
namespaces rather than just a single namespace.
• |vim.diagnostic.enable()| gained new parameters, and the old signature is
deprecated.
• |vim.diagnostic.config()| now accepts a function for the virtual_text.prefix
option, which allows for rendering e.g., diagnostic severities differently.
• Defaults:
• On Windows 'isfname' does not include ":". Drive letters are handled
correctly without it. (Use |gF| for filepaths suffixed with ":line:col").
• 'comments' includes "fb:•".
• 'shortmess' includes the "C" flag.
• 'grepprg' uses the -H and -I flags for grep by default,
and defaults to using ripgrep if available.
• "]d" and "[d" in Normal mode map to |vim.diagnostic.goto_next()| and
|vim.diagnostic.goto_prev()|, respectively. |]d-default| |[d-default|
• <C-W>d (and <C-W><C-D>) map to |vim.diagnostic.open_float()|
|CTRL-W_d-default|
• Automatic linting of treesitter query files (see |ft-query-plugin|).
Can be disabled via: >lua
vim.g.query_lint_on = {}
<
• Enabled treesitter highlighting for treesitter query files.
• Enabled treesitter highlighting for help files.
• Enabled treesitter highlighting for Lua files.
• Options
• Attempting to set an invalid keycode option (e.g. `set t_foo=123`) no
longer gives an error.
• The `workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles` LSP client capability is now enabled
by default on Mac and Windows. Disabled on Linux since there currently isn't
a viable backend for watching files that scales well for large directories.
• |LspRequest| autocmd callbacks now contain additional information about the LSP
request status update that occurred.
• |:source| without arguments treats a buffer with its 'filetype' set to "lua"
as Lua code regardless of its extension.
• |:lua| with a |[range]| executes that range in the current buffer as Lua code
regardless of its extension.
• |:Man| now respects 'wrapmargin'
• |gx| now uses |vim.ui.open()| and not netrw. To customize, you can redefine
`vim.ui.open` or remap `gx`. To continue using netrw (deprecated): >vim
:call netrw#BrowseX(expand(exists("g:netrw_gx")? g:netrw_gx : '<cfile>'), netrw#CheckIfRemote())<CR>
• |vim.lsp.start()| now creates the following default keymaps (assuming the
server supports the feature):
- |K| in Normal mode maps to |vim.lsp.buf.hover()|, unless |'keywordprg'|
was customized before calling |vim.lsp.start()|.
• Terminal buffers started with no arguments (and use 'shell') close
automatically if the job exited without error, eliminating the (often
unwanted) "[Process exited 0]" message.
• |vim.diagnostic.config()| now accepts virtual text relevant options to
|nvim_buf_set_extmark()| (e.g. "virt_text_pos" and "hl_mode") in its
"virtual_text" table, which gives users more control over how diagnostic
virtual text is displayed.
• |vim.diagnostic.get()| and |vim.diagnostic.count()| accept multiple
namespaces rather than just a single namespace.
• |vim.diagnostic.enable()| gained new parameters, and the old signature is
deprecated.
• Extmarks now fully support multi-line ranges, and a single extmark can be
used to highlight a range of arbitrary length. The |nvim_buf_set_extmark()|
API function already allowed you to define such ranges, but highlight regions
were not rendered consistently for a range that covers more than one line break.
This has now been fixed. Signs defined as part of a multi-line extmark also
apply to every line in the range, not just the first.
In addition, |nvim_buf_get_extmarks()| has gained an "overlap" option to
return such ranges even if they started before the specified position.
• The following flags were added to |nvim_buf_set_extmark()|:
- "undo_restore": opt-out extmarks of precise undo tracking.
- "invalidate": automatically hide or delete extmarks.
- "virt_text_repeat_linebreak": repeat virtual text on wrapped lines.
• LSP hover and signature help now use Treesitter for highlighting of Markdown
content.
Note that syntax highlighting of code examples requires a matching parser
and may be affected by custom queries.
• Support for rendering multibyte characters using composing characters has been
enhanced. The maximum limit have been increased from 1+6 codepoints to
31 bytes, which is guaranteed to fit all chars from before but often more.
NOTE: the regexp engine still has a hard-coded limit of considering
6 composing chars only.
• |vim.wait()| is no longer allowed to be called in |api-fast|.
• Vimscript function |exists()| supports checking |v:lua| functions.
• Added "force_crlf" option field in |nvim_open_term()|.
• Attempting to set an invalid keycode option (e.g. `set t_foo=123`) no longer
gives an error.
• Passing 0 to |nvim_get_chan_info()| gets info about the current channel.
• |:checkhealth| buffer can now be opened in a split window using modifiers like
|:vertical|, |:horizontal| and |:botright|.
• |nvim_open_win()| and |nvim_win_set_config()| now support opening normal (split)
windows, moving floating windows into split windows, and opening windows in
non-current tabpages.
• 'errorfile' (|-q|) accepts `-` as an alias for stdin.
• |--startuptime| reports the startup times for both processes (TUI + server) as separate sections.
• |nvim_buf_call()| and |nvim_win_call()| now preserves any return value (NB: not multiple return values)
• Terminal
• Terminal buffers started with no arguments (and use 'shell') close
automatically if the job exited without error, eliminating the (often
unwanted) "[Process exited 0]" message.
• Treesitter
• |Query:iter_matches()|, |vim.treesitter.query.add_predicate()|, and
