What works:
1. ShaDa file dumping: header, registers, jump list, history, search patterns,
substitute strings, variables.
2. ShaDa file reading: registers, global marks, variables.
Most was not tested.
TODO:
1. Merging.
2. Reading history, local marks, jump and buffer lists.
3. Documentation update.
4. Converting some data from &encoding.
5. Safer variant of dumping viminfo (dump to temporary file then rename).
6. Removing old viminfo code (currently masked with `#if 0` in a ShaDa file for
reference).
API functions exposed via msgpack-rpc now fall into two categories:
- async functions, which are executed as soon as the request is parsed
- sync functions, which are invoked in nvim main loop when processing the
`K_EVENT special key
Only a few functions which can be safely executed in any context are marked as
async.
* Link to the commit details on GitHub for a tagged version.
* Non-tagged patches (runtime updates) are still linked to
Google Code because they are identified by a Mercurial commit hash.
Fixes the handling of the initial input lines of a test script by simply
skipping all initial empty lines.

Add check to see if a string contains ], which can result in
cases where wrapping a string in [[...]] breaks. Use [=[...]=] instead
on those strings.
Use [=[...]=] for insert() and expect().
- Check for mercurial before using it
- Make 'Merging patches...' wiki page easier to copy
- Use `basename` instead of assuming the user is running vim-patch.sh
via the repo root
- Appease shellcheck by quoting path variables
- Remove unneeded variable quoting inside [[ ]] blocks
- Don't unconditionally 'exit 1'
'-h' and '--help' are both recognized options, so current behavior is
misleading.
* Remove 'test' prefix from test names.
* Ask if existing spec files should be overwritten.
* Fix for legacy tests with no initial buffer content (e.g. test_signs).
- Call compiler from CMake instead of lua script to generate a
preprocessor file - allows for better/early error detection if
the compiler fails
- Preprocessor files are saved along with the headers as .i files
- Accept preprocessor lines with trailing chars after # as is
the case in Clang/Windows
- The fourth argument to gendeclarations.lua is now the path to
the proprocessor output file
- Expose more logging control from the log.c module(get log stream and omit
newlines)
- Remove logging from the generated functions in msgpack-gen.lua
- Refactor channel.c/helpers.c to log every msgpack-rpc payload using
msgpack_object_print(a helper function from msgpack.h)
- Remove the api_stringify function, it was only useful for logging msgpack-rpc
which is now handled by msgpack_object_print.
Since all API functions now run immediately after a msgpack-rpc request is
parsed by libuv callbacks, a mechanism was added to override this behavior and
allow certain functions to run in Nvim main loop.
The mechanism is simple: Any API function tagged with the FUNC_ATTR_DEFERRED (a
"dummy" attribute only used by msgpack-gen.lua) will be called when Nvim main
loop receives a K_EVENT key.
To implement this mechanism it was necessary some restructuration on the
msgpack-rpc modules, especially in the msgpack-gen.lua script.
Now that the lua client is available, python/lupa are no longer necessary to run
the functional tests. The helper functions previously defined in
run-functional-tests.py were adapted to test/functional/helpers.lua.
The 'lupa' python package provides a simple way to seamless integrate lua and
python code.
This commit replaces vroom by a python script that exposes the 'neovim' package
to a lua state, and invokes busted to run functional tests. This is a temporary
solution that will enable writing functional tests using lua/bused while a lua
client library is not available.
The reason for dropping vroom is flexibility: Lua/busted has a nice DSL-style
syntax while also providing the customization power of a full programming
language. Another reason is to use a single framework for unit/functional tests.
Two other changes were performed in this commit:
- Instead of "gcc-unittest/gcc-ia32", the travis builds for gcc are now
identified by "gcc/gcc-32". They will run unit/functional tests for both 64
and 32 bits.
- Old integration tests(in src/nvim/testdir) are now ran by the 'oldtest' target
