Version 0.16.0

There are following change types:

• Evolve - change in previously intended functionality while adding a new one.
• Refine - change in previously intended functionality without adding new one. This is usually described as a "breaking change", but used here in a sense that it might break user's expectations about existing functionality.
• Expand - adding new functionality without affecting existing ones. This is essentially new features.

All

Evolve

• Unify behavior of floating windows:

  • Truncate title/footer from left if it is too wide.
  • Set default title if window is allowed to have border.
  • Use single space padding for default title/footer.
  • Use 'single' as default window border in modules where it can be configured. On Neovim>=0.11 also respect non-empty 'winborder' option with lower precedence than explicitly configured value for the module.

• Unify how module-related buffers are named: mini<module-name>://<buffer-number>/<useful-info>. This structure allows creating identifiable, reasonably unique, and useful buffer names. This is a user facing change because in some cases the shown buffer's name will change (like in statusline of opened 'mini.starter' buffer or output of :buffers!).

• Stop forcing recommended option values behind set_vim_settings config setting. Instead set them automatically in setup(). If it is not essential, do so only if it was not set by user/plugin beforehand (no matter the value). Document this as a new general principle to be followed in the future. Affected modules:

  • 'mini.bufremove' (do nothing as recommended 'hidden' is on by default)
  • 'mini.completion' (conditionally set 'completeopt=menuone,noselect' and flags "c" in 'shortmess')
  • 'mini.statusline' (do nothing as recommended 'laststatus=2' is default)
  • 'mini.tabline' (unconditionally set 'showtabline=2', as it is essential to module's functinonality)

Refine

• Soft deprecate support for Neovim 0.8. It will be fully stopped in next release.

mini.ai

Refine

• Visual textobject selection now puts the cursor on the right edge instead of left. This better aligns with the (undocumented) behavior of how built-in a / i textobjects work in Visual mode, as opposed to the (documented in :h operator-resulting-pos) behavior of how it is done after applying the operator.

Expand

• Textobject identifier can now be any single character supported by :h getcharstr(). This also makes it possible to use characters outside of Latin alphanumeric and punctuation sets as custom_textobjects keys. Default textobject is extended to be anything but Latin letters (to fall back to :h text-objects).

• Update gen_spec.treesitter() to respect capture ranges specified by query directives (like (#offset! @table.inner 0 1 0 -1)).

mini.base16

Refine

• Update 'mini.pick' highlight groups to show prompt text with same colors as match ranges, as they are connected.

Expand

• Add support for colored markdown headings.

• Add new plugin integrations:

  • 'ibhagwan/fzf-lua'
  • 'MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim'
  • 'OXY2DEV/helpview.nvim'
  • 'OXY2DEV/markview.nvim'

mini.colors

Expand

• Update convert() to have adjust_lightness option which can be used to disable lightness adjustment (which is enabled by default for a more uniform progression from 0 to 100). This can be useful for output to be more consistent with other Oklab/Oklch implementations.

mini.comment

Expand

• Update textobject to respect ignore_blank_line option. Blank lines between commented lines are treated as part of a textobject.

mini.completion

Evolve

• Add snippet support. By default uses 'mini.snippets' to manage snippet session (if enabled, **highly recommended), falls back to vim.snippet on Neovim>=0.10. See "Snippets" section in :h MiniCompletion for more details.
  
  This affect existing functionality because items with Snippet kind are no longer filtered out by default.

• Rework how LSP completion items are converted to Neovim's completion items:

  • Show detail highlighted as buffer's language at the start of info window, but only if detail provides information not already present in documentation. It was previously used as extra text in the popup menu (via menu field), but this doesn't quite follow LSP specification: detail and documentation fields can be delayed up until completionItem/resolve request which implies they should be treated similarly.
  • Show labelDetails as a part of the popup menu via menu completion item field.

• Rework how information window is shown with the goal to reduce flickering during fast up/down navigation through completion candidates:

  • Do not close the window immediately after the move. Instead highlight border with MiniCompletionInfoBorderOutdated immediately while update window when its content is ready. Close the window only if no candidate is selected.
  • Show content of already visited/resolved candidate without delay.
  • Show default -No-info- text if there is no extra information about the candidate.

• Update behavior and capabilities of default_process_items():

  • Add filtersort option to control how items are filtered and/or sorted. Its new default value has changed behavior: do fuzzy matching if 'completeopt' option contains "fuzzy" entry; same as before otherwise.
  • Add kind_priority option to allow arranging items by completion item kind (like "Variable", "Snippet", "Text", etc.) after applying filtersort. This allows finer filter and/or sort based on kind, like "put Variable on top, Snippet on bottom, remove Text".
  • Use filterText and label item fields during matching (instead of textEdit.newText, insertText, and label as before). This is more aligned with LSP specification.

Refine

• Prefer in some cases to use nil as default config value with explicit fallback. This should not have any user facing effects and marked as breaking only because a structure of a default config has changed. Affected fields:

  • lsp_completion.process_items (use default_process_items as fallback) and fallback_action (use '<C-n>' as fallback). This makes it more aligned with other modules that usually avoid using function values in default config.
  • window.info.border and window.signature.border (use non-empty 'winborder' and 'single' as fallback).

• Change default value of MiniCompletionActiveParameter highlight group to link to LspSignatureActiveParameter (instead of forcing underline).

• Call lsp_completion.process_items with an array of items from all buffer servers at once (and not for each server separately). This can be used for more elaborate filter/sort strategies.

Expand

• Add scrolling in info and signature window. By default can be done with <C-f> / <C-b> when target window is shown. Can be configured via mappings.scroll_down and mappings.scroll_up config options.

• Respect isIncomplete in LSP completion response and immediately force new completion request on the next key press.

• Add support for context in 'textDocument/completion' request.

• Both info and signature help windows now use tree-sitter highlighting:

  • Info window uses "markdown" parser (works best on Neovim>=0.10 as its parser is built-in). Special markdown characters are concealed (i.e. hidden) which might result into seemingly unnecessary whitespace as dimensions are computed not accounting for that.
  • Signature help uses same parser as in current filetype.

• Update signature help without delay if it is already shown. This helps to keep signature help up to date after cursor jumps in Insert mode (like during snippet session).

• Add support for item defaults in CompletionList response.

• Add get_lsp_capabilities() that returns data about which part of LSP specification is supported in 'mini.completion'.

• Input items for lsp_completion.process_items now have client_id field with the identifier of the server that item came from. Use vim.lsp.get_client_by_id() to get an actual data about the server.

mini.diff

Expand

• The config.source can now be array of sources, which will be attempted to attach in order. Important for source's attach to either return false or call MiniDiff.fail_attach() (even not immediately) to signal that source has failed to attach to a particular buffer.

• Overlay virtual lines now scroll horizontally along with buffer lines. Requires Neovim>=0.11 and disabled 'wrap' option.

• Highlighting of buffer parts of change hunks can now be customized with these new highlight groups:

  • MiniDiffOverChangeBuf - changed buffer text. Previously used MiniDiffOverChange (for changed reference text); links to it by default.
  • MiniDiffOverContextBuf - context of a change shown in buffer overlay. Previously not highlighted, default highlight group is not created.

mini.doc

Expand

• FEATURE: improve detection and formatting for types in @param, @return, and similar.

mini.fuzzy

Refine

• Update process_lsp_items() to only use filterText and label item fields during fuzzy matching (instead of textEdit.newText, insertText, and label as before). This is more aligned with LSP specification.

• Treat empty word as matching any candidate (matched positions is empty array and score is -1). This behavior is usually more useful in practice.

mini.hues

Evolve

Refine

• Update 'mini.pick' highlight groups to show prompt text with same colors as match ranges, as they are connected.

Expand

• Add support for colored markdown headings.

• Add new plugin integrations:

  • 'ibhagwan/fzf-lua'
  • 'MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim...

Version 0.15.0

mini.align

• FEATURE: add built-in modifier for "|" character with aligning Markdown-like tables in mind.

mini.animate

• BREAKING FEATURE: add max_output_steps option to gen_path.line() and gen_path.angle() to limit the number of steps the return. Default is 1000 to improve performance on large cursor jumps which also is set for config.cursor.path.

mini.files

• FEATURE: closing and refreshing explorer now requires confirmation only if there are pending file system actions (and not in case of at least one modified buffer present).
• FEATURE: confirming file system actions in synchronize() now can cancel synchronization (by pressing c) while keeping buffer contents the same. synchronize() also returns a boolean representing whether synchronization was done.

mini.git

• FEATURE: Git data is computed after resolving symlinks. This allows working with files symlinked into outside of Git repo. This behavior is the same as in 'mini.diff'.

mini.hipatterns

• BREAKING FEATURE: make MiniHipatterns{Fixme,Hack,Todo,Note} highlight groups by default be reverse and bold variant of Diagnostic{Error,Warn,Info,Hint} group instead of directly link to them. This ensures better visibility for color schemes which don't have explicit 'mini.hipatterns' support.

mini.hues

• FEATURE: add 'lowmedium' and 'mediumhigh' saturation levels.

mini.icons

• FEATURE: add distinctive glyphs and highlighting for special Neovim directories (from :h 'runtimepath').

mini.indentscope

• BREAKING FEATURE: add options.n_lines option to limit the scope computation (for better performance). It is breaking because the default value is 10000 while previous behavior had no restriction (as with n_lines = math.huge) which should matter only in very big scopes.
• BREAKING FEATURE: add draw.predicate configuration to customize whether the scope should be autodrawn. It is breaking because the default value does not draw scope with incomplete computation (i.e. interrupted due to options.n_lines value), which should matter only in very big scopes.

mini.notify

• FEATURE: setup() now also can be used to clean history (for example, like MiniNotify.setup(MiniNotify.config)).

mini.pick

• BREAKING FEATURE: picker window now has local current directory set to source's cwd. This allows easier code for "in window" functions (callable items, choose, preview, etc.) as relative paths will be properly resolved. It also results in some changes:
  • Calling set_picker_items_from_cli() with active picker now resolves explicitly set to relative path spawn_opts.cwd against picker's cwd (and not against global current directory as was done previously).
• FEATURE: update grep and grep_live pickers to allow globs local option which restricts search to files that match any of its glob patterns (for example, { '*.lua', 'lua/**' } will only search in Lua files and files in 'lua' directory). The grep_live picker also has custom <C-o> mapping to add globs interactively after picker is opened.
• FEATURE: update help picker to have default_split local option which customizes split direction of choose action (<CR> by default).
• FEATURE: update ui_select() to allow fourth argument start_opts to customize MiniPick.start() call.
• FEATURE: add MiniPickMatch event triggered after updating query matches or setting items. Can be used, for example, to adjust window height based on current matches.

mini.snippets

• Introduction of a new module.

mini.surround

• BREAKING: created mappings for find, find_left, and highlight are now not dot-repeatable. Dot-repeat should repeat last text change but neither of those actions change text. Having them dot-repeatable breaks the common "move cursor -> press dot" workflow. Initially making them dot-repeatable was a "you can but you should not" type of mistake.

mini.test

• FEATURE: add n_retry test set property. When set, each case will be tried that at most that many times until first success (if any).
• FEATURE: add hooks.pre_source and hooks.post_source fields to collected cases. They can be either 'once' or 'case' and allow a more granular control over case execution.
• FEATURE: finally() now can be called several times inside a single function with callbacks executed in order of how they were registered.
• BREAKING FEATURE: now calling skip() in set's pre_case hook results in skipping all test cases in a set. Calling in other hooks has no effect. This enables a more structured skipping of all test cases inside a set. To skip inside hooks, use add_note() followed by return.
• FEATURE: update expect.reference_screenshot() to allow directory option pointing to a directory where automatically constructed reference path is located.

Version 0.14.0

• Stop official support of Neovim 0.7.
• Update help files to use code blocks with language annotation, as it results in a better code highlighting. Implies enabled tree-sitter highlighting in 'help' filetype:
  • It is default in Neovim>=0.10.
  • Tree-sitter parser is built-in in Neovim 0.9.x, needs manual enabling via vim.treesitter.start().
  • Has visual regressions on Neovim 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 without enabled tree-sitter (code blocks are highlighted as normal text). Use 0.8.2 or newer.
• Universally prefer 'mini.icons' module over 'nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons'.
• Start automated testing on Windows and MacOS.
• Universally ensure that all plugin's highlight groups are defined after any color scheme takes effect.

mini.base16

• FEATURE: add 'kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf' plugin integration.

mini.completion

• FEATURE: add highlighting of LSP kind (like "Function", "Keyword", etc.). Works only on Neovim>=0.11. Requires enabled 'mini.icons' to work out of the box.

mini.doc

• BREAKING FEATURE: update afterlines_to_code() to result into Lua code block in help file by using >lua at the start instead of >. NOTE: users need enabled help tree-sitter parser (which is default on Neovim>=0.9) for code blocks to have proper highlighting.

mini.extra

• FEATURE: update oldfiles picker to have current_dir option which if true shows files only from picker's working directory. By @abeldekat, PR #997.
• FEATURE: make git_hunks, list, and lsp pickers show icons. Scopes document_symbol and workspace_symbol in lsp picker show icon based on LSP kind (requires set up 'mini.icons'), others - based on path data.
• FEATURE: update buf_lines and oldfiles pickers to have preserve_order local option, similar to visit_paths picker. Other possible candidates for this option are intentionally not updated to not increase maintenance (manually override match source method to call MiniPick.default_match() with { preserve_order = true } options).
• FEATURE: update buf_lines picker to pad line numbers to achieve more aligned look.
• BREAKING FEATURE: use "│" as line/position separator instead of ":". This aligns with changes in 'mini.pick' and makes line/position more easily visible.

mini.git

• FEATURE: update show_at_cursor() to include commit's statistics when showing commit.
• FEATURE: update show_at_cursor() to show relevant at cursor commit data inside 'mini.deps' confirmation buffer.

mini.hipatterns

• BREAKING FEATURE: update compute_hex_color_group() to compute based on combination of hex_color and style, opposed to just hex_color. This allows simultaneous usage of several styles in user's custom highlighters.

mini.hues

• FEATURE: implement apply_palette() (to compliment make_palette()) providing a way to tweak applied palette before applying it.
• FEATURE: add 'kevinhwang91/nvim-bqf' plugin integration.

mini.files

• FEATURE: prefer using 'mini.icons' as icon provider.
• FEATURE: implement bookmarks. With default config:
  • Type m followed by a single character <char> to set directory path of focused window as a bookmark with id <char>.
  • Type ' followed by a bookmark id to make bookmark's path focused in explorer.
  • Use MiniFiles.set_bookmark() inside MiniFilesExplorerOpen event to set custom bookmarks.
• FEATURE: make data for MiniFilesActionDelete contain to field in case of not permanent delete.
• FEATURE: make file manipulation work better for special complex/overlapping cases (like delete 'file-a' and copy 'file-b' as 'file-a'). It is still a better idea to split overlapping manipulations into smaller and not related steps, as there are cases which won't work.
• FEATURE: add get_explorer_state() to allow more reliable user customizations.
• FEATURE: add set_branch() to allow to set what paths should be displayed and focused.
• BREAKING: soft deprecate get_target_window() in favor of get_explorer_state().target_window. Will be completely removed after the next release.
• BREAKING: update how confirmation lines are computed:
  • Show create actions in the group directory where text manipulation took place. This matters during creating nested entries and is usually a more intuitive representation.
  • For delete show its type after the file name ("permanently" or "to trash") as an additional visual indication of delete type.
  • For create, copy and move prefer showing its "to" path relative to group directory.
  • Separate action name and paths with "│" (instead of ":") for better visual separation.
  • Don't enclose paths in quotes. Initially it was done to reliably show possible whitespace in paths, but inferring it from overall line structure should be good enough.

mini.icons

• Introduction of a new module.

mini.misc

• FEATURE: implement setup_termbg_sync() to set up terminal background synchronization (removes possible "frame" around current Neovim instance). Works only on Neovim>=0.10.

mini.pick

• FEATURE: prefer using 'mini.icons' as icon provider.
• BREAKING: update default_match() to have table opts as fourth argument (instead of boolean do_sync). Use { sync = true } to run synchronously. The new design is more aligned with other functions and is more forward compatible.
• FEATURE: add preserve_order option to default_match() to allow asynchronous matching which preserves order (i.e. doesn't do sort step of fuzzy matching).
• BREAKING: encoding line or position in string items has changed:
  • Use "\0" (null character; use "\000" form if it is in a string before digit) instead of ":" as delimiter. This makes it work with files similar to ":" position encoding (like "time_12:34:56"). This only matters for custom sources which provide line or position in string items.
  • Update default_show() to display "│" character instead of "\0" in item's string representation (previously was ":"). In particular, this changes how line/position is displayed in grep and grep_live built-in pickers. This change was done because "│" is more visible as separator.
• FEATURE: explicitly hide cursor when picker is active (instead of putting it in command line).

mini.starter

• BREAKING: change filetype of Starter buffer from 'starter' to 'ministarter'. This is a more robust value and more aligned with other modules.

mini.statusline

• BREAKING FEATURE: update section_fileinfo() to show non-empty filetype even in not normal buffers (like plugin's scratch buffers, help, quickfix, etc.). Previously it showed nothing, which was a mistake as filetype can be a valuable information.
• BREAKING FEATURE: the default set_vim_settings config value now does not affect laststatus = 3 (aka global statusline).
• FEATURE: prefer using 'mini.icons' as icon provider for section_fileinfo().

mini.surround

• BREAKING FEATURE: adding surrounding in linewise mode now also ignores trailing whitespace on the last line (same as it ignores indent on the first line).

mini.tabline

• FEATURE: prefer using 'mini.icons' as icon provider.

mini.test

• FEATURE: make it work on Windows. By @cameronr, PR #1101.

Version 0.13.0

mini.comment

• BREAKING FEATURE: blank lines are now completely ignored when deciding the toggling action. In practice this means that if target block consists only from commented and/or blank lines, it will be uncommented rather than commented.

• BREAKING: Whitespace in comment parts is now treated more explicitly. In particular:

  • Default options.pad_comment_parts = true now more explicitly means that any value of 'commentstring' is transformed so that comment parts have exactly single space inner padding.

    Example: any /*%s*/, /* %s */, or /* %s */ is equivalent to having /* %s */.

  • Detection of whether consecutive lines are commented or not does not depend on whitespace in comment parts. Uncommenting is first attempted with exact comment parts and falls back on trying its trimmed parts.

    Example of toggling comment on single line with /* %s */ 'commentstring' value:

    • /* this is commented */ -> this is commented.
    • /*this is also commented */ -> this is also commented (notice trailing space).

  • Commenting blank lines is done with trimmed comments parts, while uncommenting explicitly results into empty lines.

• FEATURE: Support dot-repeat after initial commenting is done for visual selection; repeating is done for same relative range.

mini.deps

• FEATURE: add MiniDepsMsgBreaking highlight group for messages indicating a breaking change in a conventional commit style.

mini.diff

• Introduction of a new module.

mini.files

• FEATURE: add new MiniFilesExplorerOpen and MiniFilesExplorerClose events.

mini.git

• Introduction of a new module.

mini.hues

• BREAKING FEATURE: update some highlight groups for better usability:
  • DiffChange and DiffText - make changed diff lines have colored background.
  • Folded - make folds differ from CursorLine.
  • QuickFixLine - make current quickfix item differ from CursorLine.

mini.map

• FEATURE: add gen_integration.diff() which highlights general diff hunks from 'mini.diff'.

mini.pick

• BREAKING: stop trying to parse path for special format ("path:row" and "path:row:col") if supplied inside a table item. This made impossible working with paths containing ":".
• FEATURE: respect general URI format for paths inside table items.
• Update builtin.files() to use table items when string item might be ambiguous.

mini.starter

• Explicitly block all events in open() during startup for a better performance.

mini.statusline

• BREAKING: section_diagnostics() now depends only on defined diagnostic. This means:
  • Something is shown only if there is any diagnostic actually present in the buffer. No diagnostic entries - nothing is shown.
    Previously it did not show if there was no LSP servers attached (as initially diagnostics came only from LSP) or buffer was not normal.
  • Fallback icon is "Diag" instead of "LSP".
• FEATURE: section_diagnostics() now supports signs table option to customize signs for severity levels.
• BREAKING FEATURE: section_git() now prefers using data from 'mini.git' with fallback on pure HEAD data from 'lewis6991/gistigns.nvim'.
• FEATURE: add section_diff() to show data from 'mini.diff' with fallback on diff data from 'lewis6991/gistigns.nvim'.
• FEATURE: add section_lsp() to show indicator of LSP servers attached to the buffer.
• BREAKING FEATURE: update default active content:
  • Add section_diff() (shows diff data near  icon) following refactor of section_git().
  • Add section_lsp() (shows number of attached LSP servers near 󰰎 icon) following refactor of section_diagnostics().

mini.tabline

• FEATURE: Implement config.format for custom label formatting.

mini.test

• BREAKING FEATURE: child process is now created with extra --headless --cmd "set lines=24 columns=80" arguments making it headless but still reasonably similar to fully functioning Neovim during interactive usage. This change should generally not break a lot of things, while enabling a faster and more robust test execution.

Version 0.12.0

mini.basics

• BREAKING: Remove <C-z> mapping, as it is more useful in most terminal emulators for suspending Neovim process (to later resume with fg command). To correct latest misspelled word, use mappings like this:

vim.keymap.set('n', '<C-z>', '[s1z=',                     { desc = 'Correct latest misspelled word' })
vim.keymap.set('i', '<C-z>', '<C-g>u<Esc>[s1z=`]a<C-g>u', { desc = 'Correct latest misspelled word' })

• FEATURE: Add tab:> to 'listchars' option when options.extra_ui is set. This prevents showing ^I instead of a tab and actual value comes from Neovim's default.
• FEATURE: Set termguicolors only on Neovim<0.10, as later versions should have it on by default (if terminal emulator supports it).

mini.comment

• FEATURE: Hooks are now called with data about commenting action.

mini.deps

Introduction of a new module.

• FEATURE: Add support for new standard tree-sitter captures on Neovim>=0.10 (see neovim/neovim#27067).

mini.misc

• Update bench_time() to use vim.loop.hrtime() (as better designed for benchmarking) instead of vim.loop.gettimeofday().

mini.map

• FEATURE: Implement config.window.zindex to configure z-index of map window.

mini.misc

mini.splitjoin

Introduction of a new module.

mini.surround

• FEATURE: Add respect_selection_type option which, when enabled, makes adding and deleting surrounding respect selection type:
  • Linewise adding places surrounding parts on separate lines while indenting surrounded lines once.
  • Deleting surrounding which looks like a result of linewise adding will act to revert it: delete lines with surrounding parts and dedent surrounded lines once.
  • Blockwise adding places surrounding parts on whole edges, not only start and end of selection.

Version 0.7.0

• Start dual distribution. Every module is now distributed both as part of 'mini.nvim' library and as standalone plugin (in separate git repository).

mini.ai

• BREAKING FEATURE: In MiniAi.gen_spec.argument() option separators (plural; array of characters) is soft deprecated in favor of separator (singular; Lua pattern) option.

mini.basics

Introduction of a new module.

mini.completion

• BREAKING: MiniCompletion.config.window_dimensions is renamed to MiniCompletion.config.window to be able to handle more general configuration.
• FEATURE: Add MiniCompletion.config.window.info.border and MiniCompletion.config.window.signature.border which can be used to define border of info and signature floating windows respectively.

mini.indentscope

• BREAKING: MiniIndentscopePrefix is now not used (deprecated). It was initially introduced as a way to properly show scope indicator on empty lines. It had a drawback of overshadowing 'listchars' symbols (see #125) and vertical guides from 'lukas-reineke/indent-blankline.nvim'. As the other implementation approach was found by @mivort (see #161), MiniIndentscopePrefix is no longer needed and no overshadowing is done.
• BREAKING: MiniIndentscope.gen_animation is now a table (for consistency with other gen_* functions in 'mini.nvim'). See "Migrate from function type" section of :h MiniIndentscope.gen_animation. Calling it as function will be available until next release.

mini.misc

• FEATURE: Add MiniMisc.setup_auto_root() and MiniMisc.find_root() for root finding functionality. NOTE: requires Neovim>=0.8.
• FEATURE: Add MiniMisc.setup_restore_cursor() for automatically restoring latest cursor position on file reopen. By @cryptomilk, PR #198.
