Before you upgrade to v0.18.0

3 to fix

Plan to upgrade Neovim 0.9 to 0.10 or newer: 0.9 support is soft deprecated and the README now recommends 0.10+. Full deprecation is announced for the next release.

Action requiredAffects: Neovim 0.9 users.

Pass tested arguments inside closures for `expect.error`/`expect.no_error`, not as extra arguments. Replace removed `ignore_lines` with both `ignore_text` and `ignore_attr`.

New things you can do

Fixed and improved

On Neovim 0.11+, file create/delete/rename actions notify active LSP servers, enabling server-provided changes such as import updates. Set `options.lsp_timeout` to control or disable this.

ImprovedBrowse directories and create, rename, copy, move, or delete files by editing text buffers.

The explorer no longer treats temporary focus changes during `vim.ui.select()` or `vim.ui.input()` as lost focus.

Now worksBrowse directories and create, rename, copy, move, or delete files by editing text buffers.

LSP completion now executes `completionItem.command` when supplied by the server.

ImprovedComplete text and view signature help while typing.

Define mode arrays for clues and triggers instead of repeating entries for each mode.

ImprovedSee available next keys and their descriptions while entering a key sequence.

Search manual pages with `pickers.manpages`; LSP workspace-symbol results highlight symbols after their position prefix.

ImprovedSelect diagnostics, Git history, LSP results, and other editor data through pickers.

Switch grep between regex and plain matching with `method` or `<C-e>` in live grep; paste system clipboard text into the prompt. Repeated `vim.ui.select()` calls wait for the active picker to stop.
