This function has now returned. -7.3.1 - Fix: - * Thanks go out to Brett Rasmussen for pointing out that the feature - added way back in version 7.2.3 by Yuriy Ershov to automatically - reposition the cursor to the line containing the active buffer, was - no longer in the plugin. That bit of code has been re-added and - all is well. -7.3.0 - It has been quite a while since I published a new version and this - is the first version since Vim 7.3 was released. - * Thanks to Tim Johnson for testing out this new version. - * I have put some time into reworking and cleaning up the code as - * well as various bug fixes. - * I have hopefully allowed for better mapping of the main public - methods as is explained in the|bufexplorer-customization|section - of the documentation. - * Add new 'B', 'o', and 'S' key mappings. - * Overall, I am hopeful that I not forgotten or lost a feature. -7.2.8 - Enhancements: - * Thanks to Charles Campbell for integrating bufexplorer with GDBMGR. - http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#GDBMGR -7.2.7 - Fix: - * My 1st attempt to fix the "cache" issue where buffers information - has changed but the cache/display does not reflect those changes. - More work still needs to be done. -7.2.6 - Fix: - * Thanks to Michael Henry for pointing out that I totally forgot to - update the inline help to reflect the previous change to the 'd' - and 'D' keys. Opps! -7.2.5 - Fix: - * Philip Morant suggested switching the command (bwipe) associated - with the 'd' key with the command (bdelete) associated with the 'D' - key. This made sense since the 'd' key is more likely to be used - compared to the 'D' key. -7.2.4 - Fix: - * I did not implement the patch provided by Godefroid Chapelle - correctly. I missed one line which happened to be the most - important one :) -7.2.3 - Enhancements: - * Thanks to David Fishburn for helping me out with a much needed - code overhaul as well as some awesome performance enhancements. - He also reworked the handling of tabs. - * Thanks to Vladimir Dobriakov for making the suggestions on - enhancing the documentation to include a better explaination of - what is contained in the main bufexplorer window. - * Thanks to Yuriy Ershov for added code that when the bufexplorer - window is opened, the cursor is now positioned at the line with the - active buffer (useful in non-MRU sort modes). - * Yuriy also added the abiltiy to cycle through the sort fields in - reverse order. - Fixes: - * Thanks to Michael Henry for supplying a patch that allows - bufexplorer to be opened even when there is one buffer or less. - * Thanks to Godefroid Chapelle for supplying a patch that fixed - MRU sort order after loading a session. -7.2.2 - Fixes: - * Thanks to David L. Dight for spotting and fixing an issue when - using ctrl^. bufexplorer would incorrectly handle the previous - buffer so that when ctrl^ was pressed the incorrect file was opened. -7.2.1 - Fixes: - * Thanks to Dimitar for spotting and fixing a feature that was - inadvertently left out of the previous version. The feature was - when bufexplorer was used together with WinManager, you could use - the tab key to open a buffer in a split window. -7.2.0 - Enhancements: - * For all those missing the \bs and \bv commands, these have now - returned. Thanks to Phil O'Connell for asking for the return of - these missing features and helping test out this version. - Fixes: - * Fixed problem with the bufExplorerFindActive code not working - correctly. - * Fixed an incompatibility between bufexplorer and netrw that caused - buffers to be incorrectly removed from the MRU list. -7.1.7 - Fixes: - * TaCahiroy fixed several issues related to opening a buffer in a - tab. -7.1.6 - Fixes: - * Removed ff=unix from modeline in bufexplorer.txt. Found by Bill - McCarthy. -7.1.5 - Fixes: - * Could not open unnamed buffers. Fixed by TaCahiroy. -7.1.4 - Fixes: - * Sometimes when a file's path has 'white space' in it, extra buffers - would be created containing each piece of the path. i.e: - opening c:\document and settings\test.txt would create a buffer - named "and" and a buffer named "Documents". This was reported and - fixed by TaCa Yoss. -7.1.3 - Fixes: - * Added code to allow only one instance of the plugin to run at a - time. Thanks Dennis Hostetler. -7.1.2 - Fixes: - * Fixed a jumplist issue spotted by JiangJun. I overlooked the - 'jumplist' and with a couple calls to 'keepjumps', everything is - fine again. - * Went back to just having a plugin file, no autoload file. By having - the autoload, WinManager was no longer working and without really - digging into the cause, it was easier to go back to using just a - plugin file. -7.1.1 - Fixes: - * A problem spotted by Thomas Arendsen Hein. - When running Vim (7.1.94), error E493 was being thrown. - Enhancements: - * Added 'D' for 'delete' buffer as the 'd' command was a 'wipe' - buffer. -7.1.0 - Another 'major' update, some by Dave Larson, some by me. - * Making use of 'autoload' now to make the plugin load quicker. - * Removed '\bs' and '\bv'. These are now controlled by the user. The - user can issue a ':sp' or ':vs' to create a horizontal or vertical - split window and then issue a '\be' - * Added handling of tabs. -7.0.17 - Fixed issue with 'drop' command. - Various enhancements and improvements. -7.0.16 - Fixed issue reported by Liu Jiaping on non Windows systems, which was - ... - Open file1, open file2, modify file1, open bufexplorer, you get the - following error: - - --------8<-------- - Error detected while processing function - <SNR>14_StartBufExplorer..<SNR>14_SplitOpen: - line 4: - E37: No write since last change (add ! to override) - - But the worse thing is, when I want to save the current buffer and - type ':w', I get another error message: - E382: Cannot write, 'buftype' option is set - --------8<-------- - -7.0.15 - Thanks to Mark Smithfield for suggesting bufexplorer needed to handle - the ':args' command. -7.0.14 - Thanks to Randall Hansen for removing the requirement of terminal - versions to be recompiled with 'gui' support so the 'drop' command - would work. The 'drop' command is really not needed in terminal - versions. -7.0.13 - Fixed integration with WinManager. - Thanks to Dave Eggum for another update. - - Fix: The detailed help didn't display the mapping for toggling - the split type, even though the split type is displayed. - - Fixed incorrect description in the detailed help for toggling - relative or full paths. - - Deprecated s:ExtractBufferNbr(). Vim's str2nr() does the same - thing. - - Created a s:Set() function that sets a variable only if it hasn't - already been defined. It's useful for initializing all those - default settings. - - Removed checks for repetitive command definitions. They were - unnecessary. - - Made the help highlighting a little more fancy. - - Minor reverse compatibility issue: Changed ambiguous setting - names to be more descriptive of what they do (also makes the code - easier to follow): - Changed bufExplorerSortDirection to bufExplorerReverseSort - Changed bufExplorerSplitType to bufExplorerSplitVertical - Changed bufExplorerOpenMode to bufExplorerUseCurrentWindow - - When the BufExplorer window closes, all the file-local marks are - now deleted. This may have the benefit of cleaning up some of the - jumplist. - - Changed the name of the parameter for StartBufExplorer from - "split" to "open". The parameter is a string which specifies how - the buffer will be open, not if it is split or not. - - Deprecated DoAnyMoreBuffersExist() - it is a one line function - only used in one spot. - - Created four functions (SplitOpen(), RebuildBufferList(), - UpdateHelpStatus() and ReSortListing()) all with one purpose - to - reduce repeated code. - - Changed the name of AddHeader() to CreateHelp() to be more - descriptive of what it does. It now returns an array instead of - updating the window directly. This has the benefit of making the - code more efficient since the text the function returns is used a - little differently in the two places the function is called. - - Other minor simplifications. -7.0.12 - MAJOR Update. - This version will ONLY run with Vim version 7.0 or greater. - Dave Eggum has made some 'significant' updates to this latest - version: - - Added BufExplorerGetAltBuf() global function to be used in the - user’s rulerformat. - - Added g:bufExplorerSplitRight option. - - Added g:bufExplorerShowRelativePath option with mapping. - - Added current line highlighting. - - The split type can now be changed whether bufexplorer is opened - in split mode or not. - - Various major and minor bug fixes and speed improvements. - - Sort by extension. - Other improvements/changes: - - Changed the help key from '?' to <F1> to be more 'standard'. - - Fixed splitting of vertical bufexplorer window. - Hopefully I have not forgot something :) -7.0.11 - Fixed a couple of highlighting bugs, reported by David Eggum. He also - changed passive voice to active on a couple of warning messages. -7.0.10 - Fixed bug report by Xiangjiang Ma. If the 'ssl' option is set, - the slash character used when displaying the path was incorrect. -7.0.9 - Martin Grenfell found and eliminated an annoying bug in the - bufexplorer/winmanager integration. The bug was were an - annoying message would be displayed when a window was split or - a new file was opened in a new window. Thanks Martin! -7.0.8 - Thanks to Mike Li for catching a bug in the WinManager integration. - The bug was related to the incorrect displaying of the buffer - explorer's window title. -7.0.7 - Thanks to Jeremy Cowgar for adding a new enhancement. This - enhancement allows the user to press 'S', that is capital S, which - will open the buffer under the cursor in a newly created split - window. -7.0.6 - Thanks to Larry Zhang for finding a bug in the "split" buffer code. - If you force set g:bufExplorerSplitType='v' in your vimrc, and if you - tried to do a \bs to split the bufexplorer window, it would always - split horizontal, not vertical. He also found that I had a typeo in - that the variable g:bufExplorerSplitVertSize was all lower case in - the documentation which was incorrect. -7.0.5 - Thanks to Mun Johl for pointing out a bug that if a buffer was - modified, the '+' was not showing up correctly. -7.0.4 - Fixed a problem discovered first by Xiangjiang Ma. Well since I've - been using vim 7.0 and not 6.3, I started using a function (getftype) - that is not in 6.3. So for backward compatibility, I conditionaly use - this function now. Thus, the g:bufExplorerShowDirectories feature is - only available when using vim 7.0 and above. -7.0.3 - Thanks to Erwin Waterlander for finding a problem when the last - buffer was deleted. This issue got me to rewrite the buffer display - logic (which I've wanted to do for sometime now). - Also great thanks to Dave Eggum for coming up with idea for - g:bufExplorerShowDirectories. Read the above information about this - feature. -7.0.2 - Thanks to Thomas Arendsen Hein for finding a problem when a user - has the default help turned off and then brought up the explorer. An - E493 would be displayed. -7.0.1 - Thanks to Erwin Waterlander for finding a couple problems. - The first problem allowed a modified buffer to be deleted. Opps! The - second problem occurred when several files were opened, BufExplorer - was started, the current buffer was deleted using the 'd' option, and - then BufExplorer was exited. The deleted buffer was still visible - while it is not in the buffers list. Opps again! -7.0.0 - Thanks to Shankar R. for suggesting to add the ability to set - the fixed width (g:bufExplorerSplitVertSize) of a new window - when opening bufexplorer vertically and fixed height - (g:bufExplorerSplitHorzSize) of a new window when opening - bufexplorer horizontally. By default, the windows are normally - split to use half the existing width or height. -6.3.0 - Added keepjumps so that the jumps list would not get cluttered with - bufexplorer related stuff. -6.2.3 - Thanks to Jay Logan for finding a bug in the vertical split position - of the code. When selecting that the window was to be split - vertically by doing a '\bv', from then on, all splits, i.e. '\bs', - were split vertically, even though g:bufExplorerSplitType was not set - to 'v'. -6.2.2 - Thanks to Patrik Modesto for adding a small improvement. For some - reason his bufexplorer window was always showing up folded. He added - 'setlocal nofoldenable' and it was fixed. -6.2.1 - Thanks goes out to Takashi Matsuo for added the 'fullPath' sorting - logic and option. -6.2.0 - Thanks goes out to Simon Johann-Ganter for spotting and fixing a - problem in that the last search pattern is overridden by the search - pattern for blank lines. -6.1.6 - Thanks to Artem Chuprina for finding a pesky bug that has been around - for sometime now. The <esc> key mapping was causing the buffer - explored to close prematurely when vim was run in an xterm. The <esc> - key mapping is now removed. -6.1.5 - Thanks to Khorev Sergey. Added option to show default help or not. -6.1.4 - Thanks goes out to Valery Kondakoff for suggesting the addition of - setlocal nonumber and foldcolumn=0. This allows for line numbering - and folding to be turned off temporarily while in the explorer. -6.1.3 - Added folding. Did some code cleanup. Added the ability to force the - newly split window to be temporarily vertical, which was suggested by - Thomas Glanzmann. -6.1.2 - Now pressing the <esc> key will quit, just like 'q'. - Added folds to hide winmanager configuration. - If anyone had the 'C' option in their cpoptions they would receive - a E10 error on startup of BufExplorer. cpo is now saved, updated and - restored. Thanks to Charles E Campbell, Jr. - Attempted to make sure there can only be one BufExplorer window open - at a time. -6.1.1 - Thanks to Brian D. Goodwin for adding toupper to FileNameCmp. This - way buffers sorted by name will be in the correct order regardless of - case. -6.0.16 - Thanks to Andre Pang for the original patch/idea to get bufexplorer - to work in insertmode/modeless mode (evim). Added Initialize - and Cleanup autocommands to handle commands that need to be - performed when starting or leaving bufexplorer. -6.0.15 - Srinath Avadhanulax added a patch for winmanager.vim. -6.0.14 - Fix a few more bug that I thought I already had fixed. Thanks - to Eric Bloodworth for adding 'Open Mode/Edit in Place'. Added - vertical splitting. -6.0.13 - Thanks to Charles E Campbell, Jr. for pointing out some embarrassing - typos that I had in the documentation. I guess I need to run - the spell checker more :o) -6.0.12 - Thanks to Madoka Machitani, for the tip on adding the augroup command - around the MRUList autocommands. -6.0.11 - Fixed bug report by Xiangjiang Ma. '"=' was being added to the - search history which messed up hlsearch. -6.0.10 - Added the necessary hooks so that the Srinath Avadhanula's - winmanager.vim script could more easily integrate with this script. - Tried to improve performance. -6.0.9 - Added MRU (Most Recently Used) sort ordering. -6.0.8 - Was not resetting the showcmd command correctly. - Added nifty help file. -6.0.7 - Thanks to Brett Carlane for some great enhancements. Some are added, - some are not, yet. Added highlighting of current and alternate - filenames. Added splitting of path/filename toggle. Reworked - ShowBuffers(). - Changed my email address. -6.0.6 - Copyright notice added. Needed this so that it could be distributed - with Debian Linux. Fixed problem with the SortListing() function - failing when there was only one buffer to display. -6.0.5 - Fixed problems reported by David Pascoe, in that you where unable to - hit 'd' on a buffer that belonged to a files that no longer existed - and that the 'yank' buffer was being overridden by the help text when - the bufexplorer was opened. -6.0.4 - Thanks to Charles Campbell, Jr. for making this plugin more plugin - *compliant*, adding default keymappings of <Leader>be and <Leader>bs - as well as fixing the 'w:sortDirLabel not being defined' bug. -6.0.3 - Added sorting capabilities. Sort taken from explorer.vim. -6.0.2 - Can't remember. (2001-07-25) -6.0.1 - Initial release. - -=============================================================================== -TODO *bufexplorer-todo* - -- Nothing as of now, buf if you have any suggestions, drop me an email. - -=============================================================================== -CREDITS *bufexplorer-credits* - -Author: Jeff Lanzarotta <delux256-vim at yahoo dot com> - -Credit must go out to Bram Moolenaar and all the Vim developers for -making the world's best editor (IMHO).
