Neovim public release 0.1.0

I&#x27;ve been using nvim exclusively for four months now. Perfectly stable (I think even more so than my vim was, I use lots of crashy plugins) and a perfect drop in, basically nothing changed for me when I renamed nvim to vim on my systems.<p>I wonder what their roadmap is for a 1.0 release. Is it a specific feature set, or stability in their MessagePack APIs? Is it years off, or just pending some big bugs&#x2F;refactorings?

Good to see this project making progress, but I don&#x27;t see a changelog. What&#x27;s new?

When I think about switching to Neovim, I feel disloyal and ungrateful to Bram Moolenaar. He has done so much for so many, and if Neovim takes off he won&#x27;t walk away with much of a reward. How much code has been written in Vim - and almost every line for free.

For anyone &quot;switching&quot; from vim, I recommend looking at vim plugins with neovim-specific support&#x2F;enhancements: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neovim&#x2F;neovim&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Related-projects#plugins" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;neovim&#x2F;neovim&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Related-projects#plugi...</a>

I have been using neovim for months now with no issues I can attribute to neovim. The terminal mode can be useful, although I still prefer my current tmux setup. I have been using it with linux and osx, building from source.<p>I suspect most users could download neovim, symlink their .vimrc&#x2F;.nvimrc, alias vim=nvim and not be able to tell the difference.

I&#x27;m usually using gvim for performance. Peeked into neovim before but the only GUI I found was Neovim.app which performed horrible.<p>Anything new in that field?

So does anyone know what kind of magic happened in August? They&#x27;re scanning the code using coverity and the graphs don&#x27;t seem to make sense: (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scan.coverity.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;2227" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;scan.coverity.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;2227</a>)<p><pre><code> 1 Jul: fixed 217, outstanding 91 1 Aug: fixed 220, outstanding 94 1 Sept: fixed 216, outstanding 0 1 Oct: fixed 218, outstanding 0 </code></pre> How is that possible? Bug in coverity? &quot;Creative counting&quot;?

I&#x27;ve been using neovim for over 6 months and can&#x27;t go back to vim, mainly due to asynchronous linter.<p>In the last week neovim changed their config file location from `~&#x2F;.nvimrc` to `~&#x2F;.config&#x2F;nvim&#x2F;init.vim`, though config file AFAIK is fully backwards compatible to vim, as I use the same vimrc for neovim and vim.

Just switched and it might be a placebo effect, but everything from scrolling to switching files seems a bit...snappier. Is this due to the async improvements? Do plugins have to opt-in to be async or does the core re-implement previously synchronous functionality to be asynchronous?

Can I use my old vim configuration in NeoVim or do I need to rewrite my vimrc? Do my old vim plugins work in NeoVim or do I need to find new versions?

I didn&#x27;t really considered Neovim until recently, as a serious vim user, I didn&#x27;t really feel I want anything but original. I started using it because plugin for pairing was only working on it. I can say I was completely surprised and impressed with performance. I still use Vim, but I have Neovim handy and I could probably replace it and not even notice difference. Very impressive effort.

Great news, long overdue. Neovim has been quite stable for many months now. Most people I know use the nightly builds, which was fine until they introduced some BC breaking stuff this week, which threw everyone off.<p>Bunch of snobs on gitter criticizing users for installing nightlies and expecting stability... But that&#x27;s what happens when you don&#x27;t tag a release after almost two years of development

Neovim articles seem to be accompanied by a bunch of top-level comments saying how unreservedly wonderful it is and offering nothing constructive. It looks like shills (but I of course don&#x27;t know the intent of any particular commenter).

Good, now with proper XDG base directory specification support. Less clutter in $HOME at last.<p>I started using nvim primarily for 24 bit color themes support in the terminal. Some mild themes are way easier for the eyes.<p>Is anyone going to package it for Debian?

I&#x27;ve been using `nvim` on OS X and Arch Linux for the last few months. I am very pleased with it. Excellent stuff, and the newsletters were a great way of keeping the indiegogo backers informed.

Congrats to the team, I&#x27;m dying to switch myself but closely watching Windows support since it&#x27;s unfortunately my primary work platform.

Release notes?

Neovim doesn&#x27;t have a desktop version on OSX like Macvim or did I missed something?

I tried to install it on Mac, but it fails on building phase.

Is vimscript translated to lua or is that still WIP?

what is this is this a bad web for
