patch 8.1.0046: loading a session file fails if 'winheight' is big commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/1c3c10492a291270fa89b3c8df11828792f927d3 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Tue Jun 12 16:49:30 2018 +0200 patch 8.1.0046: loading a session file fails if 'winheight' is big Problem: Loading a session file fails if 'winheight' is a big number. Solution: Set 'minwinheight' to zero at first. Don't give an error when setting 'minwinheight' while 'winheight' is a big number. Fix using vertical splits. Fix setting 'minwinwidth'. (closes #2970)

README_mac.txt for version 8.1 of Vim: Vi IMproved.

This file explains the installation of Vim on Macintosh systems.
See "README.txt" for general information about Vim.


To build from sources, like on Unix

1. Get the build tools: "clang" and "make".  These can be installed with the
   "CommandLineTools" package.   If you don't have one, do
	xcode-select --install
   Just like for any software development with OS X.

2. Get the source code.  Best is to use git (which you need to install first),
   see http://www.vim.org/git.php
   Or you can download and unpack the Unix tar archive, see
   http://www.vim.org/download.php

3. Go to the top directory of the source tree, do
	make
	sudo make install
  A newly built vim will be installed under "/usr/local".


If you can't manage to make this work, there is a fallback using Homebrew:

1. Install Homebrew from http://brew.sh/
2. Install latest Vim with:  brew install vim
