So it has been six years since the last official release. Apprentice hasn't lost its spirit but a lot happened in the meantime, in Vim and in Apprentice itself.

This is the changelog for v2.0.

Dropped

• Explicit support for Neovim,
• explicit support for status line plugins,
• italic text because of spotty support across terminal emulators and poor feature detection in Vim,
• brittle logic,
• iTerm-specific hack.

Added

• Support for :help :terminal,
• definition of g:terminal_ansi_colors,
• support for :help terminal-debugger.

Fixed

• Casing issues,
• faulty logic,
• priority of several highlight groups,
• inconsistencies between 256c and GUI,
• cursor color in GUI,
• brighter comments,
• diff highlight groups.

Low-level changes

• Switch to a template-based workflow (see README.md).

Fixed priority issue between Error and Diff... on one side and Visual on the other side.

• Better support for the Windows console.
• Support for neovim's terminal thanks to metalelf0.
• Minor tweaks

Fixed MatchParen.

This release fixes many errors in the 8/16 version.

The tabline, statusline and vertical split are now visually consistent: "black on ocre" for "active", "ocre on black" for "inactive".

Following up on issue #1, folds are darker than they used to be.

Enjoy.

Completely reworked to work better in 8/16 colors terminal.

• Cleaned up the cterm colors for non-256 terminals.
• Changed htmlLink for more visibility.
