Problem: Macros for MS-Windows are inconsistent, using "32", "3264 and
others.
Solution: Use MSWIN for all MS-Windows builds. Use FEAT_GUI_MSWIN for the
GUI build. (Hirohito Higashi, closes#3932)
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: Giving error messages is not flexible.
Solution: Add semsg(). Change argument from "char_u *" to "char *", also
for msg() and get rid of most MSG macros. (Ozaki Kiichi, closes
#3302) Also make emsg() accept a "char *" argument. Get rid of
an enormous number of type casts.
Problem: Custom operators can't act upon a forced motion. (Christian
Wellenbrock)
Solution: Add the forced motion to the mode() result. (Christian Brabandt,
closes#3490)
Problem: Placing signs can be complicated.
Solution: Add functions for defining and placing signs. Introduce a group
name to avoid different plugins using the same signs. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan, closes#3652)
Problem: Xdiff doesn't use the Vim memory allocation functions.
Solution: Change the xdl_ defines. Check for out-of-memory. Rename
"ignored" to "vim_ignored".
Problem: Cannot get the script line number when executing a function.
Solution: Store the line number besides the script ID. (Ozaki Kiichi,
closes#3362) Also display the line number with ":verbose set".
Problem: Crash when wiping buffer in a callback.
Solution: Do not handle messages when only peeking for a character.
(closes#2107) Add "redraw_flag" to test_override().
Problem: Segfault when pattern with \z() is very slow.
Solution: Check for NULL regprog. Add "nfa_fail" to test_override() to be
able to test this. Fix that 'searchhl' resets called_emsg.
Problem: In terminal window, typing : at more prompt, inserts ':' instead
of starting another Ex command.
Solution: Add skip_term_loop and set it when putting ':' in the typeahead
buffer.
Problem: Cannot tell whether a register is being used for executing or
recording.
Solution: Add reg_executing() and reg_recording(). (Hirohito Higashi,
closes#2745) Rename the global variables for consistency. Store
the register name in reg_executing.
Problem: No autocmd triggered in Insert mode with visible popup menu.
Solution: Add TextChangedP. (Prabir Shrestha, Christian Brabandt,
closes#2372, closes#1691)
Fix that the TextChanged autocommands are not always triggered
when sourcing a script.
Problem: Weird autocmd may cause arglist to be changed recursively.
Solution: Prevent recursively changing the argument list. (Christian
Brabandt, closes#2472)
Problem: balloon_show() only works in terminal when compiled with the GUI.
Solution: Add FEAT_BEVAL_GUI and refactor to move common code out of the GUI
specific file.
Problem: Cannot use 'balloonexpr' in a terminal.
Solution: Add 'balloonevalterm' and add code to handle mouse movements in a
terminal. Initial implementation for Unix with GUI.
Problem: Mac features are confusing.
Solution: Make feature names more consistent, add "osxdarwin". Rename
feature flags, cleanup Mac code. (Kazunobu Kuriyama, closes#2178)
Problem: FEAT_WINDOWS adds a lot of #ifdefs while it is nearly always
enabled and only adds 7% to the binary size of the tiny build.
Solution: Graduate FEAT_WINDOWS.
Problem: Using try/catch in timer does not prevent it from being stopped.
Solution: Reset the exception context and use did_emsg instead of
called_emsg.
Problem: Get "no write since last change" error in terminal window.
Solution: Use another message when closing a terminal window. Make ":quit!"
also end the job.
