Neovim 0.5, the fifth major version of the Neovim
editor, which descends from the venerable vi
editor by way of Vim, was
released
on July 2. This release is the culmination of almost two years of work,
and it comes with some major features that aim to modernize the editing
experience significantly. Highlights include native support for the Language
Server Protocol (LSP), which enables advanced editing features for a wide variety of
languages, improvements to
its Lua APIs for configuration and plugins, and better syntax highlighting
using Tree-sitter. Overall, the 0.5 release
is a solid upgrade for the editor; the improvements should
please the existing fan base and potentially draw in new users and contributors
to the project.
