Currently all other MacVim-related source code are in that folder. This just makes it a little easier to tell at a glance of the dependencies.
Latest version hasn't been officially released yet as they don't frequently release new versions, so just grabbing the code. This adds APFS support for creating DMG's.
…uild Use newer formats for creating the DMG file for distributing MacVim. APFS has been supported fully since macOS 10.13, and from testing it extracts faster than HFS+. LZFSE (ULFO format) is newer than zlib/DEFLATE (UDZO format) and also decompresses faster as well from testing. Note that there is a newer compression scheme using LZMA (ULMO format) but it is only supported in 10.15+ which is too high for us as non-legacy builds need to target 10.13+. Also, from testing, the newer LZMA yields smaller files, but takes more time to decompress than LZFSE. Also, keeping using the old formats (HFS+/zlib) for legacy builds since they need to work on 10.9, which don't support the newer formats.

Updated to Vim 9.0.1677 Announcements ==================== Website -------------------- The official website for MacVim is now https://macvim.org. Previously it just forwarded to https://macvim-dev.github.io/macvim/. You can also read the MacVim documentation at https://macvim.org/docs/gui_mac.txt.html. #1385 Features ==================== Updater / What's New page -------------------- There is now a "What's New" page that will automatically be shown whenever MacVim detected that it has been updated to a new version (can be disabled in Settings). The page will also include all the release notes if you have updated across multiple versions. This feature is useful for users who turned on "Automatically install updates" or installs MacVim through other methods like Homebrew but would still like to see the release notes when a new version comes out. You can also access it through the Help menu. #1414 MacVim should now report its version in a much more consistent manner in the "About MacVim" page and when the updater reports there is a new version. It should look something like "r176 (Vim 9.0.1276)" where "r176" is the MacVim release number and the 9.0.1276 is the bundled Vim version. #1293 #1393 Sparkle (updater for MacVim) is now updated to 2.4.2. #1416 New Vim features -------------------- - New bundled colorschemes: wildcharm/retrobox/sorbet/zaibatsu (vim/vim#12163) - File encryption now has a new `cryptmethod`: `xchacha20v2`, which is designed to be more forward compatible with future Vim versions than `xchacha20`. (v9.0.1481) - `switchbuf` works for more commands. (v9.0.1546) - Statusline now supports multiple alignment "%=" items. (v9.0.1300) - New UTF-16 utility functions (`strutf16len` and `utf16idx`) (v9.0.1485) - Misc 'smoothscroll' bugs fixes General ==================== * Removed non-Unicode localization files, which helps cut down on app size. #1397 * Miscellaneous documentation fixes. #1415 #1375 #1386 #1363 (by @dkav) * The disk image for MacVim (MacVim.dmg) is now in APFS and uses better compression for better efficiency. #1409 Fixes ==================== * Printing a file in macOS 13 Ventura (using `:hardcopy` or File→Print) should work again. #1390 * Fixed a broken symlink to XPCServices in the Sparkle framework. #1367 * Fixed MacVim to not throw (safe) Objective C exceptions when quitting. #1371 * Fixed welcome message not being aligned properly in Simplified Chinese and show the Vim 9 prompt. #1381 * Removed some unnecessary test files in the runtime folders which were included erroneously. #1418 Scripting ==================== - Scripting languages versions: - Python is now built against 3.11, up from 3.10. Compatibility ==================== Requires macOS 10.9 or above. (10.9 - 10.12 requires downloading a separate legacy build) Script interfaces have compatibility with these versions: - Lua 5.4 - Perl 5.30 - Python2 2.7 - Python3 3.11 - Ruby 3.2

Configure dmg builds to use newer APFS/LZFSE formats for non-legacy build
Use newer formats for creating the DMG file for distributing MacVim. APFS has been supported fully since macOS 10.13, and from testing it extracts faster than HFS+.
LZFSE (ULFO format) is newer than zlib/DEFLATE (UDZO format) and also decompresses faster as well from testing. Note that there is a newer compression scheme using LZMA (ULMO format) but it is only supported in 10.15+ which is too high for us as non-legacy builds need to target 10.13+. Also, from testing, the newer LZMA yields smaller files, but takes more time to decompress than LZFSE.
Also, keeping using the old formats (HFS+/zlib) for legacy builds since they need to work on 10.9, which don't support the newer formats.
Also, upgrade create-dmg from the latest source to get the change that allows generating APFS image.
