start_batch_changes() doesn't avoid invoking the clipboard
once-per-line, because the loop is actually in ex_echo(), which calls
redir_write() for each message. But we've already entered
start_batch_changes() by then, so that was never the problem.
redir_write at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/message.c:2523
msg_puts_attr_len at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/message.c:1600
msg_outtrans_len_attr at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/message.c:1221
ex_echo at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/eval.c:19433
do_one_cmd at /home/vagrant/old.neovim/build/../src/nvim/ex_docmd.c:2242
Trying to defer _explicit_ clipboard updates is difficult.
:redir @+ | silent echo system('cat foo') | redir END
is essentially equivalent to:
for l in readfile('foo')
let @+ .= l
endfor
We cannot make judgements about when to ignore a script's bad decisions.
start_batch_changes() only works around the case of clipboard=unnamed,
i.e. _implicit_ clipboard updates (`:g/foo/d`). Not explicit
assignment.
During a preview, we can stop looking for matches after we got enough
lines for the preview buffer.
Because of this perf improvement, the 'redrawtime' test needs to be
slowed down in a different way: _long_ lines instead of just many lines.

Tokenize p_sh if used as default in ex_terminal(). Previously p_sh was
used as the first arg in a list when calling termopen(), this would try
to call an untokenized version of shell, meaning if you had an argument
in 'shell':
set shell=/bin/bash\ --login
the command would fail.

Closes#3999
API level is disconnected from NVIM version. The API metadata holds the
current API level, and the lowest backwards-compatible level supported
by this instance.
Release 0.1.6 is the first release that reports the Nvim version and API
level.
metadata['version'] = {
major: 0,
minor: 1,
patch: 6,
api_level: 1,
api_compatible: 0,
api_prerelease: false,
}
The API level may remain unchanged across Nvim releases if the API has
not changed.
When changing the API,
- set NVIM_API_PRERELEASE to true
- increment NVIM_API_LEVEL (at most once per Nvim version)
- adjust NVIM_API_LEVEL_COMPAT if backwards-compatibility was broken
api_level_0.mpack was generated from Nvim 0.1.5 with:
nvim --api-info
The API level is disconnected from the NVIM version. The API metadata

Release 0.1.6 will be the first release reporting the Nvim version and

The API level may remain unchanged across Neovim releases if the API has
not changed.
When changing the API the CMake variable NVIM_API_PRERELEASE is set to
true, and NVIM_API_CURRENT/NVIM_API_COMPATIBILITY are incremented
accordingly.
The functional tests check the API table against fixtures of past
versions of Neovim. It compares all the functions in the old table with
the new one, it does ignore some metadata attributes that do not alter
the function signature or were removed since 0.1.5. Currently the only
fixture is 0.mpack, generated from Neovim 0.1.5 with nvim --api-info.
To healthcheck the "foo" plugin:
:CheckHealth foo
To healthcheck the "foo" and "bar" plugins:
:CheckHealth foo bar
To run all auto-discovered healthchecks:
:CheckHealth
Old behaviour: termopen('cmd') would run `&shell &shcf "cmd"`, which
caused the functional tests to fail on some systems due to the process
not "owning" the terminal. Also, it is inconsistent with jobstart().
Modify termopen() so that &shell is not invoked, but maintain the old
behaviour with :terminal. Factor the common code for building the
argument vector from jobstart() and modify the functional tests to call
termopen() instead of :terminal (fixes#2354).
Also:
* Add a 'name' option for termopen() so that `:terminal {cmd}` produces
a buffer named "term//{cwd}/{cmd}" and termopen() users can customize
the name.
* Update the documentation.
* Add functional tests for `:terminal` sinse its behaviour now differs
from termopen(). Add "test/functional/fixtures/shell-test.c" and move
"test/functional/job/tty-test.c" there, too.
