Vim v9.1.1577 brings generic support to Vim9 script [2025-07-22] We're excited to share that as of Vim version 9.1.1577, Vim9 Script now supports generic types — a powerful step toward stronger type safety and reusability in scripting. This feature was introduced in Pull Request #17313 and enables you to write reusable, type-safe functions using generic parameters. To learn more and see usage examples, open Vim and type :h generic-functions. Special thanks to Yegappan Lakshmanan for implementing this valuable addition to Vim! Happy Vimming! (Christian Brabandt)
Vim Update: New Diff Anchor Feature [2025-07-16] Vim now supports the 'diffanchors' option to improve the accuracy of diffing large or complex files.

This feature was introduced in patch v9.1.1557. Special thanks to Yee Cheng Chin for the contribution! Happy Vimming! (Christian Brabandt)
