Changes for version 0.15 - 2012-03-18

  • Performance
    • Remove extraneous vim statement that caused delays on some files. Thanks to Joe Mullally (jhackworth) for finding this and for the vim profiling tips (gh-2).
  • Installation
    • Abort Makefile.PL before writing Makefile if minimum vim not found
    • Try not to hang the installation if an old vim is found
    • Lower Term::ANSIColor requirement to 1.03 and make bright colors normal if Term::ANSIColor version < 3
  • Documentation
    • Document that the minimum vim version is 6. (It has been that way since 2003.)
  • Testing
    • Allow debugging based on TEXT_VIMCOLOR_DEBUG env var
    • Attempt to make tests more portable across vim versions (addressing rt-75829 and a few sparse smoke reports).
    • Reorganize the test suite increasing coverage and number.
