Problem: Using a range for window and buffer commands has a few problems.
Cannot specify the type of range for a user command.
Solution: Add the -addr argument for user commands. Fix problems. (Marcin
Szamotulski)
Problem: Many commands take a count or range that is not using line
numbers.
Solution: For each command specify what kind of count it uses. For windows,
buffers and arguments have "$" and "." have a relevant meaning.
(Marcin Szamotulski)
Problem: With some regexp patterns the NFA engine uses many states and
becomes very slow. To the user it looks like Vim freezes.
Solution: When the number of states reaches a limit fall back to the old
engine. (Christian Brabandt)
Problem: Encryption implementation is messy. Blowfish encryption has a
weakness.
Solution: Refactor the encryption, store the state in an allocated struct
instead of using a save/restore mechanism. Introduce the
"blowfish2" method, which does not have the weakness and encrypts
the whole undo file. (largely by David Leadbeater)
Problem: "make autoconf" and "make reconfig" may first run configure and
then remove the output.
Solution: Add these targets to the exceptions. (Ken Takata)
Problem: getreg() does not distinguish between a NL used for a line break
and a NL used for a NUL character.
Solution: Add another argument to return a list. (ZyX)
Problem: An error in ":options" is not caught by the tests.
Solution: Add a test for ":options". Set $VIMRUNTIME for the tests so that
it uses the current runtime files instead of the installed ones.
Problem: When src/auto/configure was updated, "make clean" would run
configure pointlessly.
Solution: Do not run configure for "make clean" and "make distclean" when
the make program supports $MAKECMDGOALS. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Configure does not always find the right library for Lua. Missing
support for LuaJit.
Solution: Improve the configure detection of Lua. (Hiroshi Shirosaki)
Problem: When build flags change "make distclean" run into a configure
error.
Solution: When CFLAGS changes delete auto/config.cache. Also avoid adding
duplicate text to flags.
Problem: No easy to run an individual test. Tests 64 fails when
'encoding' is not utf-8.
Solution: Add individual test targets to the Makefile. Move some lines from
test 64 to 95.
Problem: Syntax highlighting can be slow.
Solution: Include the NFA regexp engine. Add the 'regexpengine' option to
select which one is used. (various authors, including Ken Takata,
Andrei Aiordachioaie, Russ Cox, Xiaozhou Liua, Ian Young)
Problem: Clipboard does not work on Win32 when compiled with Cygwin.
Solution: Move the Win32 clipboard code to a separate file and use it when
building with os_unix.c. (Frodak Baksik, Ken Takata)
Problem: Building on IBM z/OS fails.
Solution: Adjust configure. Use the QUOTESED value from config.mk instead of
the hard coded one in Makefile. (Stephen Bovy)
Problem: Memfile is not tested sufficiently. Looking up blocks in a
memfile is slow when there are many blocks.
Solution: Add high level test and unittest. Adjust the number of hash
buckets to the number of blocks. (Ivan Krasilnikov)
Problem: Having auto/config.mk in the repository causes problems.
Solution: Remove auto/config.mk from the distribution. In the toplevel
Makefile copy it from the "dist" file.
