feat(tui): restore 'ttyfast' to control tty requests #38699

2026-04-24T18:45:20Z

Problem: When running nvim on a remote machine over SSH, if there is high ping, then bg detection may not complete in time. This results in a warning every time nvim is started. #38648 Solution: Restore 'ttyfast' option and allow it to control whether or not bg detection is performed. Because this is during startup and before any user config or commands, we use the environment variable `NVIM_NOTTYFAST` to allow disabling `ttyfast` during initialization.

feat(:restart): v:starttime, v:exitreason #39282

2026-04-22T17:40:41Z

Problem: - The `ZR` feature makes it more obvious that we need some sort of flag so that an `ExitPre` / `QuitPre` / `VimLeave` handler can handle restarts differently than a normal exit. For example, it's common that users want `:mksession` on restart, but perhaps not on a normal exit. - Nvim has no way to report its "uptime". Solution: - Introduce `v:starttime` - Introduce `v:exitreason`

fix(options): default 'titlestring' shows CWD #39233

2026-04-22T09:56:23Z

Problem: In the default 'titlestring', if the containing directory is the CWD, it renders as "." Solution: Add `:p` to the titlestring.

fix(:restart): reuse --listen addr on Windows #38539

2026-04-21T16:49:16Z

Problem: On Windows, :restart cannot immediately reuse the canonical --listen address because named pipe release is asynchronous. Solution: Start the new Nvim server on a temporary address; in the new Nvim, retry serverstart() with the original ("canonical") address until it succeeds.

feat(normal): normal-mode ZR does :restart

2026-04-21T13:54:08Z

Make it a normal-mode command instead of a default mapping.

refactor(test): drop deprecated exc_exec #39242

2026-04-20T18:16:41Z

test(tui_spec): don't run tty-test in a shell (#39186)

2026-04-18T11:53:19Z

refactor: update usages of deprecated "buffer" param #39089

2026-04-15T18:45:26Z

fix(messages): truncate warning messages only in display (#38901)

2026-04-09T04:11:32Z

For now, add a private "_truncate" flag to nvim_echo, using a truncation method similar to showmode().
