MacVim Release 173

[ychin]

Updated to Vim 9.0.0065.

MacVim is now updated to Vim 9!

I just want to apologize for the infrequent update cadence for MacVim over the last year and a half. I have not had much time to work on MacVim, which made catching up harder, leading to a bad feedback loop. I would like to move back to a more regular release cadence to keep MacVim more updated relative to Vim, and to be able to start working on macOS 12/13 integrations as well as fixing outstanding bugs and merging the various pull requests that have been waiting to be merged for a while. Please don't hesitate to poke on GitHub if MacVim starts falling behind again.

General

Do you plan to release separate versions for x86_64 and M1/M2 chipsets? Or are you relying on Rosetta?

[ychin]

MacVim is released as an universal app. You just need to download the dmg and it will use the right version.
