Hello everybody,
After close to 2 years and more than 2000 numbered patches, including
new features, bug fixes, and security updates, we have reached a state
where we should release a new minor version: Vim 9.2.
If you want to know what changed since the release of Vim 9.1, please
have a look at :h version-9.2 Note that this is only fully comprehensive
in the latest patch levels. It is also available online here:
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/version9.txt#L41542)
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to improving Vim! It's hard to
believe that 2 years have already passed since the 9.1 release.
I'd like to use the next 6 weeks (until around mid February) as the
stabilization period, followed by the release of Vim 9.2.
During this time, only runtime file updates, translations, security
fixes and clear bug fixes will be merged to make the release as stable
as possible (without introducing new issues obviously).
Now is also a good time for anyone using an older version of Vim to test
it, so we have a chance to fix any remaining issues.
If you are a maintainer of any runtime file or a translator, please
consider creating a PR for the Vim main tree. There have been quite a
few new error messages added, so please ensure that your scripts and
translations are up to date.
Thanks
Chris
