Fix :hardcopy not working in macOS 13 Ventura by ychin · Pull Request #1390 · macvim-dev/macvim
MacVim's `:hardcopy` implementation just uses Preview to show the generated PostScript file and lets the user decide what to do with it. macOS 13 Ventura removed PostScript support from Preview, so we now have to manually convert it to PDF first using `pstopdf` (which is thankfully bundled with macOS). While we are at it, update the script so that we actually delete the file after sending it to Preview. Previously MacVim never did that and therefore leaks the file in a temp folder until Vim closes, which isn't ideal for privacy. Now, just set a 10 sec timer to delete the file after it's opened (we just need enough time to allow Preview to open and load the file, which doesn't take much time. The 10 sec timer is to account for slow computers). Fix macvim-dev#1347

Jul 10, 2023Updated 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 ==================== Requires macOS 10.9 or above. (10.9 - 10.12 requires downloading a separate legacy build) Script interfaces have compatibility with these versions: - Lua 5.4 - Perl 5.30 - Python2 2.7 - Python3 3.11 - Ruby 3.2

Dec 9, 2023Fix broken printing in macOS 14. It was broken because the OS stopped supporting Postscript and removed the `pstopdf` tool. Fix the printexpr to detect when `pstopdf` doesn't exist and try to use `ps2pdf` instead. This is a third-party tool and it's not guaranteed to exist. If it doesn't exist, give an error prompt for the user to suggest installing Ghostscript first. Settled on this solution as printing is a relatively niche feature and it's not worth spending too much effort fixing this. Related: - macvim-dev#1390 / macvim-dev#1347: macOS 13 Ventura broke printing by removing Preview support for PostScript. The fix was to use `pstopdf`, which eventually got removed in macOS 14.
