Problem: Using expressions in a modeline is unsafe.
Solution: Disallow using expressions in a modeline, unless the
'modelineexpr' option is set. Update help, add more tests.
Problem: Remarks about functionality not in Vi clutters the help.
Solution: Move all info about what is new in Vim or already existed in Vi to
vi_diff.txt. Remove {not in Vi} remarks. (closes#4268) Add
"noet" to the help files modeline. Also include many other help
file improvements.
Problem: Cannot see current match position.
Solution: Show "3/44" when using the "n" command and "S" is not in
'shortmess'. (Christian Brabandt, closes#4317)
Problem: {not in Vi} remarks get in the way of useful help text.
Solution: Make a list of all Vi options, instead of mentioning what Vi does
not have. Update the help text for options.
Problem: MS-Windows: cannot specify font weight.
Solution: Add the "W" option to 'guifont'. (closes#4309) Move GUI font
explanation out of options.txt.
Problem: MS-Windows: using ConPTY even though it is not stable.
Solution: When ConPTY version is unstable, prefer using winpty. (Ken Takata,
closes#3949)
Problem: MS-Windows: inconsistent selection of winpty/conpty.
Solution: Name option 'termwintype', use ++type argument and "term_pty" for
term_start(). (Hirohito Higashi, closes#3915)
Problem: Cannot have a local value for 'scrolloff' and 'sidescrolloff'.
(Gary Holloway)
Solution: Make 'scrolloff' and 'sidescrolloff' global-local. (mostly by
Aron Widforss, closes#3539)
Problem: Showing two characters for tab is limited.
Solution: Allow for a third character for "tab:" in 'listchars'. (Nathaniel
Braun, Ken Takata, closes#3810)
Problem: Tabline is not always redrawn when something that is used in
'tabline' changes.
Solution: Add ":redrawtabline" so that a plugin can at least cause the
redraw when needed.
Problem: Cannot build without the sandbox.
Solution: Set the secure option instead of using the sandbox. Also restrict
the characters from 'spelllang' that are used for LANG.vim.
(suggested by Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: Internal diff isn't used by default as advertised.
Solution: Add "internal" to the default value of 'diffopt'.
Also add couple of files missing from the distribution.
Problem: Using an external diff program is slow and inflexible.
Solution: Include the xdiff library. (Christian Brabandt, closes#2732)
Use it by default.
Problem: Using a full path is supported for 'directory' but not for
'backupdir'. (Mikolaj Machowski)
Solution: Support 'backupdir' as well. (Christian Brabandt, closes#179)
