nvim-hs v2.0.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-03-10 // about 5 years ago

    • 🔧 Your configuration is now just a Haskell project. The dependency to Dyre has been removed and you are now forced to write a line of vimL and add a normal nvim-plugin to your setup. The template still does set everything up for you. The distinction between a plugin and a personal nvim-hs configuration is now gone and apart from settings things up, nothing has changed in this regard. The nvim-plugin contains the necessary documentation on what to do and should be available with :help nvim-hs when installed correctly.

    • Since basically all generated functions were throwing exceptions anyway, the primed functions have become the default and if you want to explicitly handle error cases, you have to surround your code with catch or something more appropriate from UnliftIO.Exception. You have to remove ' from your API calls or you have to adjust your error handling.

    • There are now three flavors of APIs and you have to import one additionally to importing the Neovim module:

      • Neovim.API.Text: This uses strict Text for strings and Vector as lists. This is the recommended API to use.
      • Neovim.API.String: This is the same as before. Strings are String and lists are []. This is for the lazy and backwards-ish compatiblity.
      • Neovim.API.ByteString: This can be useful for really performance critical stuff or if you`re writing a plugin for binary files.
