Quoting the existing docs:
Packages are loaded. These are plugins, as above [&runtimepath], but
found in the "start" directory of each entry in 'packpath'. Every
plugin directory found is added in 'runtimepath' and then the plugins
are sourced.
Also tj didn't think I could do it.
Refactors how required capabilities are detected and validated, and make
sure requests are only sent to clients that support it (and only fail if
no clients support the provided method).
The validation happens at the buf_request level, because we assume that
if someone is sending the request directly through the client, they know
what they're doing. Also, let unknown methods go through.
This is extracted from #12518 and closes#12755.

- os.exit(1) is too generic, since code 1 may be caused by Nvim exiting
for some other reason. Change it to os.exit(101).
- style: de-architect json_encode/json_decode calls.

Lua
This release introduces "Nvim-Lua standard library". See ":help lua-stdlib".
89d7e24891#9463 Lua stdlib: vim.inspect, string functions
8e941c59ec#9740 Lua: generate documentation from docstrings
1cbe014569#9301 lua/stdlib: Introduce vim.shared
c83926cd0a#10123 Lua: introduce vim.loop (expose libuv event-loop)
81e1dbca99#10120 Lua: vim.schedule(cb)
1f54f68732#10688 Lua: minimal UTF-16 support needed for LSP
6fb0020df4#10513 Lua encoding support
c0993ed343 Lua: support getting UTF-32 and UTF-16 sizes of replaced text
b0e26199ec Lua: add {old_byte_size} to on_lines buffer change event
UI:
- The Nvim 0.3.4 UI protocol introduced line-based updates instead of
legacy char-based updates. Nvim 0.4 continues to evolve the UI
protocol. See ":help ui". Legacy UI clients are supported. See
":help api-contract".
9a1675b065#6619 Floating windows
- Can be (re)positioned, anchored, external.
- Are real windows showing real buffers. No shortcuts, hacks, or compromises.
- Support all features and API of normal windows, plus more.
6427894d89#8455 Multigrid: "windows drawn on separate grids"
- Windows are logically isolated internally.
- Windows are sent to UIs as distinct objects, so that UIs can control
layout instead of being stuck with the classic TUI layout.
- Per-window font-size, dimenions, line-spacing.
- Compositor: Internal subsystem for composing grids.
3855204f58#6917 UIEnter, UILeave
788bcbba24#9923 ui: ":syn blend=", 'winblend'
7cf7c0a0b8#9575 ui: 'redrawdebug' option for flexible debugging of redrawing
5c836d2ef8#9607 wildoptions=pum (enabled by default)
37f8df8824#9571 UI: 'pumblend' option for semi-transparent popupmenu
c403a95a52#9446 Visual: highlight char-at-cursor
- Traditionally Vim's visual selection does "reverse mode", which
perhaps conflicts with the non-blinking block cursor. But
'guicursor' defaults to a vertical bar for selection=exclusive, and
this confuses users who expect to see the text highlighted.

Historically Vim/Nvim does backflips to handle input and show messages
before a UI is available. This logical contradiction was already fixed
for remote UIs (#9024c236e80cf3). Fixing it also for the TUI avoids
problems on Windows, simplifies the logic, and avoids races like #9959.
REP_NODELAY was added because REP delayed too much. This changes REP to
only add a delay on every 100th line instead.
This helps to cover the additional pulse steps with
out_data_decide_throttle, which would have required to change
REP_NODELAY anyway.
Fix flaky "shell command :! throttles shell-command output greater than ~10KB:":
[ RUN ] shell command :! throttles shell-command output greater than ~10KB:
warning: Screen changes were received after the expected state. This indicates
indeterminism in the test. Try adding screen:expect(...) (or wait()) between
asynchronous (feed(), nvim_input()) and synchronous API calls.
- Use screen:redraw_debug() to investigate; it may find relevant intermediate
states that should be added to the test to make it more robust.
- If the purpose of the test is to assert state after some user input sent
with feed(), adding screen:expect() before the feed() will help to ensure
the input is sent when Nvim is in a predictable state. This is preferable
to wait(), for being closer to real user interaction.
- wait() can trigger redraws and consequently generate more indeterminism.
Try removing wait().

Instead of deciding provider status in eval_has_provider, move the
decision to the provider Vim scripts.
Previously, provider loading worked as follows:
1. eval_has_provider() verified provider availability by searching for
the provider#providername#Call function and cached this verificaion as a static
variable for some providers
2. providers short-circuited on loading to prevent the definition of the
Call function (with the exception of the node provider that did not)
This commit changes the expected interface between nvim and its
providers to facilitate provider reloading, by splitting the
verification of the provider from the availability of the Call function.
eval_has_provider() now checks for a provider#providername#enabled
variable. It is up to the provider script to set this to 0 or 1
accordingly. eval_call_provider() remains unchanged.
All providers hosting a Call function were updated to respect this.
The clipboard provider now has a Reload function to reload the
provider.
Windows: In order for jobstart(['foo']), system(['foo']) to find
"foo.cmd", we must replace "foo" with "foo.cmd" before sending `argv` to
process_spawn().
Rationale: jobstart([…]), system([…]) "executable" semantics should be
consistent with the VimL executable() function.
fix#9569
related: #10554
Typically most shell output is the result of non-trivial work, so it
would not blast stdout instantaneously. To more closely simulate that
typical scenario, change `shell-test REP` to wait 1 millisecond between
iterations.
Also fix V576: use width specification
> Incorrect format. Consider checking the third actual argument of the
> 'sscanf' function. It's dangerous to use string specifier without width
> specification. Buffer overflow is possible.
Note: the test fails on non-Windows CI (Travis linux, Quickbuild bsd):
even on master before the env.c changes in this patch-series.
Maybe the unix part of printenv-test.c needs to be revisited.

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

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.
