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_compatible: 0,

}
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 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.
Since C leaves whether char is signed or unsigned up to the implementer,
there are different defaults on different architectures.
Forcing unsigned char for one of our CI builds should help catch these
issues moving forward.
In Windows Lua's os.tmpname() returns relative paths starting with \s,
prepend them with $TEMP to generate a valid path.
In OS X os.tmpname() returns paths in '/tmp' but they should be in
'/private/tmp'. We cannot use os_name() for platform detection because
some tests use tempname() before nvim is spawned, instead use one of the
following:
1. Set SYSTEM_NAME environment variable before calling the tests, it
is set from CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME(i.e. uname -s or 'Windows')
2. Call uname -s
3. Assume windows

NVIM_TUI_ENABLE_TRUE_COLOR is now ignored.
Otherwise, busted may run a different interpreter than the one we
detected, without the capabilities we expect. (For instance, we might
have detected the luajit interpreter, but busted might run the lua
interpreter, without the ffi module.)
The TUI can be enabled/disabled at build time with -DFEAT_TUI, default is ON for
UNIX, and OFF for non UNIX. When off, Neovim prints a message to stderr, along
with a list of the server endpoints.
By default Neovim searched a Luajit instalation and linked against
the luajit library.
In practice Neovim only requires luajit to run the unit tests. All other
targets only require lua and the correct lua modules. This commit:
1. Remove the strict dependency on Luajit
2. Makes the unittest target depend on the lua 'ffi' module.
If the module is not available the target is not enabled
and a message is displayed.
This is needed as long as we support cmake older than 2.8.12. When we
bump the minimum version to 2.8.12, we can use target_compile_options()
and add_compile_options() instead.
Closes#4389
Change POROJECT_NAME to 'nvim', and use it as the gettext
domain name. The *.mo files, previously installed as
$runtime/lang/xx/LC_MESSAGES/nvim.mo, are now installed as
$prefix/locale/xx/LC_MESSAGES/nvim.mo.
Some toolchains apparently set _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 in internal header
files. Include <string.h> (which in turn should include such internal
header files) before checking the value of _FORTIFY_SOURCE to catch
that.
Fixes#4183.

In 33bc332, version constraints were added to pkg_search_module(), but
that only affects the set of directories searched by
find_library()/find_path().
Once the header directory is found, parse the version from
version_master.h so it can be checked by the find_package() call in the
root CMakeLists.txt.
When using the Visual Studio generator don't use get_target_property for
custom command, because it returns unexpanded VS variables (e.g.
$(Configuration)) within the result as part of the LOCATION path.
The single case where this is a problem is for getting the output path for
nvim-test, instead we use a path here.
The Visual Studio cmake generator creates subdirectories inside
the build path for different build configuration. But this breaks some of our
cmake scripts, like the help tags installer, that assume the targets are
built in that location. Updated CMakeLists.txt to remove extra paths.
- Check if MIN_LOG_LEVEL value is a number 0-3, default to

We use `git describe` to stamp pre-release versions (dev builds). But
`git describe` uses the result of the most-recent tag (the current
_release_ version)--so we must munge it with the _next_ (i.e.
unreleased) version.
Also fix non-git builds: do not invoke git_describe(NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM)
if we're not in a git tree, else it gets the dummy value
"HEAD-HASH-NOTFOUND".
Example :version output in non-git build:
NVIM 0.1.2-dev
Example :version output in git build:
NVIM v0.1.2-176-g9c3c2b5
Without this compilation fails due to a missing symbol: SRWLOCK in libuv
headers. _WIN32_WINNT defines the Windows header version that is to be used,
and it seems libuv requires this version. See
b471b33da8
If nvim is built from a non-tagged commit, the truncated commit hash is
already appended to the main version string (e.g., "NVIM v0.1.0-83-g959f260 ..."),
making the "Commit:" field redundant.
Regarding the truncated hash length: we don't have nearly enough commits
to worry about collisions, and probably won't ever, so the default
length should be fine.
When building in a git repo:
- If HEAD corresponds to an annotated tag, (i.e. git_get_exact_tag()
returns truthy) the current build is considered a "release" build:
NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM is directly assigned the tagged version name,
and NVIM_VERSION_* defines are ignored.
- If HEAD is not a tagged release, then NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM is
directly assigned the result of `git describe`.
If git (or the repo) is not available:
- The NVIM_VERSION_* defines are used to define NVIM_VERSION_MEDIUM.
Sample outputs for `nvim --version` and `nvim +version`:
