What awesome new features have I missed out on? (open-source.social)

I don't really have a good way to keep up with new features in neovim, especially new APIs that really only matter to plugin developers.

Has there been any new functionality that I have missed out on in 0.8+?

Is there a good way to find this out on my own? There 's a lot of activity on the repo so watching PRs doesn't really work for me.

Sometimes people will make blog posts or youtube videos about the most exciting new features in a release. You can always go through the release notes for a given version, but it can be a lot and it's not necessarily obvious what the implications of a given line are. For example, "$NVIM_APPNAME" is a pretty opaque changelog entry that actually has some really neat applications as a config switcher.

My personal picks for things that have been interesting to me as a user are:

exrc works again (:help exrc)
better built-in clipboard support for tmux
built-in editorconfig support
winbar

idk why I find $NVIM_APPNAME pretty slow for some reason
