26
27 Configuration:

29 static/dynamic linking against libX11 library. Thanks to Hendrik Jaeger
30 (a.k.a. henk) for the idea;

32
33 Documentation:
34 - slightly updated plugin related documentation.
35
36 Macros:
37 - added macros that are expanded to register's content (thanks to Florian
38 Baumann, a.k.a. derflob).
39
40 :set command and options:
41 - added 'shortmess' option and its first flag: "T" to shorten long status-bar
42 messages (thanks to ranousse);
43 - added "perms" sorting key on *nix (proposed by Daniel Dettlaff, a.k.a.
44 dmilith);
45 - added new type of option (charset) and used it for 'cpoptions' and
46 'shortmess' options;
47 - made 'slowfs' option actually work on OS X (thanks to Daniel Dettlaff,
48 a.k.a. dmilith).
49
50 Color scheme related changes:
51 - added sample color schemes (proposed by Daniel Dettlaff, a.k.a. dmilith);
52 - don't fallback to default colors on try to switch to a colorscheme, which
53 is not supported by terminal.

57 - added parsing of escape codes in explore (less-like) mode;

66 of cursor position when used without arguments);
67 - don't store last command-line command for the dot normal mode command
68 between sessions. Also it doesn't depend on command-line history anymore
69 and can be used with completely disabled history;
70 - made :execute process its arguments just like :echo command (thanks to
71 Daniel Dettlaff, a.k.a. dmilith, which made me discover old behaviour).
72
73 Other changes:
