MacVim 7.3a BETA - Intel/10.6+

[björn]

Hi,

In preparation for the release of Vim 7.3 I have uploaded a version of
MacVim based on Vim 7.3a BETA (this includes all commits to the vim73
branch up to and including 5b8ff51). Get it here:

http://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/downloads

This build requires an Intel Mac running 10.6 or later. When 7.3 is
released I will build another version that runs on earlier versions of
OS X and which supports PPC. (Note: This build includes support for
automatic updating so you'll be notified of new builds, including when
7.3 is released.)

Please download and play with it but do note that this is based on the
UNSTABLE Vim 7.3 BETA branch. There is basically no new code to
MacVim itself compared with snapshot 52, but there have been lots of
changes to core Vim -- some of which are pretty big (persistent undo,
Vince Negri's "conceal" patch, to name but two).

I am still in the process of switching over to GitHub (both for the
source code as well as binaries) -- please let me know if you have any
comments on the switch (are there any problems with downloading etc.).

The instructions for building your own version of the MacVim 7.3a BETA are here:

http://wiki.github.com/b4winckler/macvim/

Where can I find a Change log of vim 7.3? Thank you

I've just updated this build so the automatic updating should tell
anybody who downloaded it that there's a new version now. Please
check if the automatic updating works (it did for me).

Björn

P.S. The first build (52.1) had a crash bug in :grep (or :vimgrep),
this build (52.2) contains a fix (among other things).

Worked for me, well the second attempt did. It failed initially with:

2010-06-09 13:03:00.963 MacVim[18977:903] Sparkle Error: An error
occurred while downloading the update. Please try again later.
2010-06-09 13:03:00.964 MacVim[18977:903] Sparkle Error (continued):
unsupported URL

trying again straight after and the update proceeded, must have been
some transient issue.

Cheers

Thanks Adam. Let's all keep our collective eyes peeled to see if this
issue pops up often. It would be nice if github worked better than
google code in this respect (GC caused failed downloads every now and
then).

[Wy Mitbbs]

It didn't work for me

How/when exactly did the process fail? (I probably won't be able to
do anything about it, but it would be good to know.)

Did you retry a little bit later?

Didn't work for me either. I go to "check for updates", it tells me
I'm not in need of an update. However, I have build 52.1, not 52.2.

cheers, J

[Daniel Corrêa]

Worked for me. Took a couples of minutes for the Update dialog to
appear, but everything went ok.

It worked fine for me too, no even a delay.

I don't even have the option to Auto Update. Is there some compile flag or something I missed?

Sparkle (the auto-update framework) is no longer included in the
source code (ok, some remnants are there, but it's not linked) -- I
have a private branch where I add it, so you'll need to download the
"official" binary to get automatic updating.

I think you can also add yourself as a "watcher" on github to see when
I push new commits to the repo and keep yourself updated that way.

Björn

[Keyan]

just checked. worked fine for me. i first checked the option and restartet. that did not work. but when i chose the "check for updated …" menu, everything worked perfectly. may be should have waited a bit longer for the pop-up to appear by itself, but i was to impatient :)

Am I the only one who finds they can regularly out-type MacGVim?
It feels noticeably sluggish and slow and often draws the text long
after I've typed it.
I'm using the 52.2 build with experimental rendering turned, using
Andale Mono:h13.00 as my font.
I just tried 7.2 and it's not that much faster.
Longer lines seem to exacerbate the problem.
I've for the insert mode line highlight enabled.

[Wy Mitbbs]

You are not alone. The big file (300 lines) will slow down McVim like hell for me. vim in Terminal is fine for the same file.

It was working good back to the Mar 05 snapshot. I have no idea why....

[Daniel Corrêa]

In my MacVim, i'm right now working in a 2500+ line document, performing
macros and substitutes and all sorts, and no slowing whatsoever. Weird...

Do you think I should somehow remove all MacVim.app related file and retry? Which files need to be deleted?

Thanks

Hey,

"Transparency" fades letters and numbers that just disappeared instead
of making my window transparent. Did I change some variable or is this a
52.2 bug?

Try going through the first step at

http://code.google.com/p/macvim/wiki/ReportingBugs

My guess is that you have some option/autocommand enabled that slows
things down...it would be good to know which one. (I know that
'cursorline' as well as folding can slow things down so that's a good
place to start.)

Try enabling the "Experimental Renderer" in the Advanced preferences.
Does that help?

(I know that the default renderer has some problems with transparency
unless I link against the 10.5 SDK, but in this release I linked
against 10.6.)

Björn

[Wy Mitbbs]

yes! it's the folding. Thank you very much! But is this because it is just slow, or something we(or you) can do about it?
Thanks

[Daniel Corrêa]

Yeah, that did the trick!

For those who would like to know _before_ installing it, here's a
summary:

* Changed
- Extra and language sources are planned to be merged into the main
Unix source archive. At the moment there is no source archive yet but
a Mercurial repository is already in place.
- After recovery, if the buffer differs from the file on disk it is
now set as 'modified'
- When exiting because of a deadly signal and v:dying is >=2,
autocommands are skipped

* Added
- Persistent undo (partly by J. Lewis)
- 'relativenumber' option (M. Heidelberg)
- Blowfish encryption (stronger) (mostly by M. Ahmed).
("Traditional" Vim encryption is still supported by the same
executable)
- Netbeans in a terminal (X. de Gaye)
- Ten more floating-point functions (W. McCarthy)
- gettabvar() and settabvar() (Y. Lakshmanan)
- new syntax and filetype plugins (TODO)
- new spelling dictionaries (Breton by D. Pellé, others TODO)
- Support GDK_SUPER_MASK for GTK on Mac. (S. Schulz)

* Removed
- (old) GTK1 GUI support

* Fixed
- Several bugs

[Tony Mechelynck]

I forgot:
* Added
- 'conceal' / 'ownsyntax' options (V. Negri)
