The Neovim team has released version 0.11, focused on improving editor responsiveness and reducing reliance on community plugins for core workflows.
LSP Inline Completions
Language servers supporting the textDocument/inlineCompletion protocol can now provide ghost-text suggestions as you type — similar to GitHub Copilot's UI but driven by any LSP. This makes integrating local AI code completion servers (Continue, Tabby, Supermaven) trivial.
Native Package Manager (Preview)
The experimental vim.pack API lets you manage plugins without a third-party package manager: vim.pack.add { {src="url", version="v1.0"} }. Resolution, installation, and updates are handled natively. Still marked experimental but functional for simple setups.
Rendering Improvements
The new text-layout engine reduces redraws on large files, making operations like gg=G on 10k-line files noticeably more responsive in terminal and GUI frontends.
