Updated runtime files Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/6efb1980336ff324e9c57a4e282530b952fca816 Author: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org> Date: Thu Aug 10 05:44:25 2023 +0200 Updated runtime files This is a collection of various PRs from github that all require a minor patch number: 1) https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/12612 Do not conflate dictionary key with end of block 2) https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/12729: When saving and restoring 'undolevels', the constructs `&undolevels` and `:set undolevels` are problematic. The construct `&undolevels` reads an unpredictable value; it will be the local option value (if one has been set), or the global option value (otherwise), making it unsuitable for saving a value for later restoration. Similarly, if a local option value has been set for 'undolevels', temporarily modifying the option via `:set undolevels` changes the local value as well as the global value, requiring extra work to restore both values. Saving and restoring the option value in one step via the construct `:let &undolevels = &undolevels` appears to make no changes to the 'undolevels' option, but if a local option has been set to a different value than the global option, it has the unintended effect of changing the global 'undolevels' value to the local value. Update the documentation to explain these issues and recommend explicit use of global and local option values when saving and restoring. Update some unit tests to use `g:undolevels`. 3) https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/12702: Problem: Pip requirements files are not recognized. Solution: Add a pattern to match pip requirements files. 4) https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/12688: Add indent file and tests for ABB Rapid 5) https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/12668: Use Lua 5.1 numeric escapes in tests and add to CI Only Lua 5.2+ and LuaJIT understand hexadecimal escapes in strings. Lua 5.1 only supports decimal escapes: > A character in a string can also be specified by its numerical value > using the escape sequence \ddd, where ddd is a sequence of up to three > decimal digits. (Note that if a numerical escape is to be followed by a > digit, it must be expressed using exactly three digits.) Strings in Lua > can contain any 8-bit value, including embedded zeros, which can be > specified as '\0'. To make sure this works with Lua 5.4 and Lua 5.1 change the Vim CI to run with Lua 5.1 as well as Lua 5.4 6) https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/12631: Add hurl filetype detection 7) https://github.com/vim/vim/pull/12573: Problem: Files for haskell persistent library are not recognized Solution: Add pattern persistentmodels for haskell persistent library closes: #12612 closes: #12729 closes: #12702 closes: #12688 closes: #12668 closes: #12631 closes: #12573 Co-authored-by: lacygoill <lacygoill@lacygoill.me> Co-authored-by: Michael Henry <drmikehenry@drmikehenry.com> Co-authored-by: ObserverOfTime <chronobserver@disroot.org> Co-authored-by: KnoP-01 <knosowski@graeffrobotics.de> Co-authored-by: James McCoy <jamessan@jamessan.com> Co-authored-by: Jacob Pfeifer <jacob@pfeifer.dev> Co-authored-by: Borys Lykah <lykahb@fastmail.com>

INSTALLmac.txt - Installation of Vim on Apple MacOS

This file contains instructions for compiling Vim. If you already have an
executable version of Vim, you don't need this.

MacOS Classic is no longer supported.  If you really want it use Vim 6.4.
Only '/' is supported as path separator.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure you've installed Xcode and CommandLineTools.  You can download Xcode
from the Mac App Store, for free.

To check for CommandLineTools open a terminal and do:

	$ make --version

If not installed yet a window pops up instructing you to install the developer
tools.

If you don't have the source yet, 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


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build and install the terminal version.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can compile vim with the standard Unix routine:
   cd vim/src
   make
   make test
   sudo make install

If you get an error "glibtool: command not found" search on stackoverflow for
mac-osx-where-can-i-download-glibtool.

With Homebrew, run:

      brew install libtool

To build libtool from source:

    1. Download the source code from https://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/.

    2. Run these commands from the root of the source code directory:

           ./configure --program-prefix=g
           make
           sudo make install


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Build and install the GUI version with X-Windows
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: this probably no longer works, since Athena support has been removed.

First, install XQuartz, which you can download from https://www.xquartz.org.

To tell configure to use a GUI you can edit the Makefile and uncomment these
two lines (remove the # at the start of the line):

    CONF_OPT_GUI = --enable-gui=athena
    CONF_OPT_DARWIN = --disable-darwin

Do "make distclean" to start with a clean slate.
Then build as with the terminal version above.
Instead of "athena" you can try "gtk2" but you probably need to install GTK
first.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mac-specific configure options are explained in the Makefile:
	--disable-darwin
	--with-mac-arch
