Signs and virtual text handlers should remain separate. They can be individually overridden by users. Someone may wish to replace the virtual text handler and suddenly find that signs no...

I ran into this myself a little while ago while working on a Fennel REPL plugin. Vim modified the behavior of `'modified'` to respect `buftype=prompt` in https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/4551c0a9fcdbdef52836d4852686d54b5e47fdaf, solely for the...

`vim.diagnostic.show_line_diagnostics` and `vim.diagnostic.show_position_diagnostics` are removed in favor of `vim.diagnostic.open_float`: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/16057 `goto_next` and `goto_prev` now take a `"float"` key in their options table rather than `"enable_popup"` and `"popup_opts"`. Differences in API...

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/16328: The `show_header` option of `vim.diagnostic.open_float` has been renamed to simply `header` and has different semantics (you can now specify a custom header string and highlights). A value of `false`...

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/16098 removes the `LspDiagnosticsChanged` and `DiagnosticsChanged` user autocommands. Instead, use `DiagnosticChanged` (note the singular `Diagnostic`!) which is now a first-class autocommand. **Before:** ```vim autocmd User DiagnosticsChanged do_something ``` **After:** ```vim...

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/16557: `vim.lsp.util.close_preview_autocmd()` has been removed

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/16745: API functions that accept a number argument (e.g. `nvim_win_is_valid`, `nvim_buf_clear_namespace`) no longer implicitly convert `nil` or non-number values to `0`. The fact that it did this before was a...

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/17040 changes the order that the `:filetype plugin indent on` command is run relative to the user's `init.vim` or `init.lua` file (or just "init file", for short). See that PR...

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/17129 invalidates points 1 and 2 in the comment above. You can now once again put `did_load_filetypes` and `do_filetype_lua` in your init file. Filetype detection can also once again be...

Let’s go with `ignore` rather than `filter`, which is symmetric with the terminology used by e.g. `git`, `fd`, `rg`, etc. Let’s also make it accept a string or table of...
