Problem: Order of matches for 'omnifunc' is messed up. (Danny Su)
Solution: Do not set compl_curr_match when called from complete_check().
(closes#1168)
Problem: Code for MS-Windows is complicated because of the exceptions for
old systems.
Solution: Drop support for MS-Windows older than Windows XP. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Can't tell which part of a channel has "buffered" status.
Solution: Add an optional argument to ch_status(). Let ch_info() also
return "buffered" for out_status and err_status.
Problem: A string argument for function() that is not a function name
results in an error message with NULL. (Christian Brabandt)
Solution: Use the argument for the error message.
Problem: Crash when stop_timer() is called in a callback of a callback.
Vim hangs when the timer callback uses too much time.
Solution: Set tr_id to -1 when a timer is to be deleted. Don't keep calling
callbacks forever. (Ozaki Kiichi)
Problem: getwininfo() and getbufinfo() are inefficient.
Solution: Do not make a copy of all window/buffer-local options. Make it
possible to get them with gettabwinvar() or getbufvar().
Problem: The field names used by getbufinfo(), gettabinfo() and
getwininfo() are not consistent.
Solution: Use bufnr, winnr and tabnr. (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
Problem: It's not easy to find out if a window is a quickfix or location
list window.
Solution: Add "loclist" and "quickfix" entries to the dict returnec by
getwininfo(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
Problem: It is not easy to get information about buffers, windows and
tabpages.
Solution: Add getbufinfo(), getwininfo() and gettabinfo(). (Yegappan
Lakshmanan)
Problem: Using function() with a name will find another function when it is
redefined.
Solution: Add funcref(). Refer to lambda using a partial. Fix several
reference counting issues.
Problem: getcompletion(.., 'dir') returns a match with trailing "*" when
there are no matches. (Chdiza)
Solution: Return an empty list when there are no matches. Add a trailing
slash to directories. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Add tests for no
matches. (closes#947)
Problem: Using submatch() in a lambda passed to substitute() is verbose.
Solution: Use a static list and pass it as an optional argument to the
function. Fix memory leak.
