Support for the XDG Base Directory Specification
[2024-04-18]
Patch 9.1.327 brings support for the freedesktop XDG Base Directory Specification and has now been merged. A few more adjustments have been made withe following patches: v9.1.0337 and 9.1.345.
That means, you can now place your configuration files under ~/.config/vim/ instead of ~/.vim so Vim will stop littering your home directory.
Note: To make this change backwards compatible, Vim will only attempt to source from that location, if ~/.vim/vimrc and ~/.vimrc file do not exist. So it won't impact existing users, but users that want to start using the new location, will need to move their existing configuration to the new place.
You can also read about it at :h xdg-base-dir.
Thanks to all the contributors that help Vim continuing to grow! (Christian Brabandt)

RepeatableYank : Repeatable appending yank to a named register. |
|
(1.30) - BUG: {count}gyy does not repeat the count.
- Emulate appending to a non-named register (through use of a temporary named register). The previously advertised behavior of simply repeating a yank to the specified {09-*+~/-} register turned out to be far less useful (at least to me and Enno Nagel, who suggested this enhancement) than the ability to consistently accumulate in any register.
