Asynchronous I/O support, channels ~

|

Vim can now exchange messages with another process in the background. The

messages are received and handled while Vim is waiting for a character. See

Vim can now exchange messages with other processes in the background. This
|
||||
makes it possible to have servers do work and send back the results to Vim.
|
||||
See |channel-demo| for an example, this shows communicating with a Python
|
||||
server.
|
||||
|
||||
Closely related to channels is JSON support. JSON is widely supported and can
|
||||
easily be used for inter-process communication, allowing for writing a server
|
||||
in any language. The functions to use are |json_encode()| and |json_decode()|.
|
||||

This makes it possible to build very complex plugins, written in any language
|

and running in a separate process.

This will make a call four seconds (4000 milli seconds) later, like: >

call CheckTemp()

This is for Vim developers. So far writing tests for Vim has not been easy.

Vim 8 adds assert functions and a framework to run tests. This makes it a lot
|

simpler to write tests and keep them updated. Also new are several functions
|

that are added specifically for testing.

These functions have been added:
