#neovim Development News The 0.12 version will have a fancy intro screen. Beyond showcasing the logo, it visually enhances some parts for better readability. Special highlighting works in any color scheme. PR: - github.com/neovim/neovi...

New intro screen of Neovim. On top - ASCII art from box drawing characters of a capital letter "N", left leg is cyan, the rest is green. Just below it - text "NVIM v0.12.0" in green.

The rest are the same sections as were in previous intro screen, but with muted grey horizontal separators between sections and extra highlighted commands (like `:help<Eenter>`).

There were 3089 commits made in 2025. The most common type was 'vim-patch' (porting code change from Vim): around 40% of all commits. All of them were spread pretty evenly during the year. This is similar to 2024, with a bit more fixes and less refactors. More data:
