Currently the canonical URL for MacVim's web page is https://macvim-dev.github.io/macvim/, since it's using the default GitHub Pages configuration. We have a domain (macvim.org) registered but it has just been doing a redirect forwarding to the above URL.

We should move to making https://macvim.org/ the canonical URL instead using GitHub Page's custom domain. It's easier to remember and less awkward to type, and looks more canonical as a website. Hosting it from the top-level domain also allows us to be more flexible in controlling it for the future, including if we want to move the website off from GitHub Pages instead of being tied to a particular service.

Also see #48 which set up the GitHub pages.

Should be all done now. Don't see any glaring issues but hopefully DNS propagates quickly enough that people using MacVim won't see an error when they try to check for updates.

Updated to Vim 9.0.1677

Announcements
====================

Website
--------------------

The official website for MacVim is now https://macvim.org. Previously it just
forwarded to https://macvim-dev.github.io/macvim/. You can also read the MacVim
documentation at https://macvim.org/docs/gui_mac.txt.html. #1385

Features
====================

Updater / What's New page
--------------------

There is now a "What's New" page that will automatically be shown whenever
MacVim detected that it has been updated to a new version (can be disabled in
Settings). The page will also include all the release notes if you have
updated across multiple versions. This feature is useful for users who turned
on "Automatically install updates" or installs MacVim through other methods
like Homebrew but would still like to see the release notes when a new version
comes out. You can also access it through the Help menu. #1414

MacVim should now report its version in a much more consistent manner in the
"About MacVim" page and when the updater reports there is a new version. It
should look something like "r176 (Vim 9.0.1276)" where "r176" is the MacVim
release number and the 9.0.1276 is the bundled Vim version. #1293 #1393

Sparkle (updater for MacVim) is now updated to 2.4.2. #1416

New Vim features
--------------------

- New bundled colorschemes: wildcharm/retrobox/sorbet/zaibatsu (vim/vim#12163)
- File encryption now has a new `cryptmethod`: `xchacha20v2`, which is designed
  to be more forward compatible with future Vim versions than `xchacha20`.
  (v9.0.1481)
- `switchbuf` works for more commands. (v9.0.1546)
- Statusline now supports multiple alignment "%=" items. (v9.0.1300)
- New UTF-16 utility functions (`strutf16len` and `utf16idx`) (v9.0.1485)
- Misc 'smoothscroll' bugs fixes

General
====================

* Removed non-Unicode localization files, which helps cut down on app size. #1397
* Miscellaneous documentation fixes. #1415 #1375 #1386 #1363 (by @dkav)
* The disk image for MacVim (MacVim.dmg) is now in APFS and uses better
  compression for better efficiency. #1409

Fixes
====================

* Printing a file in macOS 13 Ventura (using `:hardcopy` or File→Print) should
  work again. #1390
* Fixed a broken symlink to XPCServices in the Sparkle framework. #1367
* Fixed MacVim to not throw (safe) Objective C exceptions when quitting. #1371
* Fixed welcome message not being aligned properly in Simplified Chinese and
  show the Vim 9 prompt. #1381
* Removed some unnecessary test files in the runtime folders which were
  included erroneously. #1418

Scripting
====================

- Scripting languages versions:
    - Python is now built against 3.11, up from 3.10.

Compatibility
====================

separate legacy build)

Script interfaces have compatibility with these versions:

- Lua 5.4
