(Cancelled release. Superseded by snapshot 165)

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️: This build seems to be crashing on launch due to a library (gettext) being dynamically linked. DO NOT download this. If you have downloaded this build and it's crashing on launch, you could either get the old version, or use brew install gettext to work around it.

General:

  • Python is now built against 3.8, up from 3.7. #1012

Fixes:

  • Fix mvim:// protocol handler behavior. Reverts behavior back to old behavior (before snapshot-162), but add new fallback handling to try to handle poorly formed URLs that don't double-encode special characters. See :help macvim://. #1055
  • Can now change tabs using menu and keyboard shortcuts (⌘{ / ⌘} / ⌘T) when in terminal mode. #1045
