Python 3.12+ throws an error if you try to install a package in an
externally managed environment. Using `--break-system-packages` is not
recommended for personal use, but for CI it should be fine and is
probably the most straightforward solution.
Problem:
vim._watch.watchdirs has terrible performance.
Solution:
- On linux use fswatch as a watcher backend if available.
- Add File watcher section to health:vim.lsp. Warn if watchfunc is
libuv-poll.
Run the release workflow on macos-14 to use faster M1 runners.
Lock the deployment target to the oldest supported version (11.0,
due to libuv support) instead of relying on the host OS version.
- Consistently use the variable CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to select build type.
- Remove broken `doc_html` target.
- Remove swap files created by oldtest when cleaning.
- Only rerun `lintdoc` if any documentation files has changed.
Problem: When the stable bot automatically closes an issue, the issue
will be marked as "closed as completed". It'd be better to mark the
as "closed as not planned".
Solution: Use `state_reason: "not_planned"` from the issues REST API.

The releases doesn't work on intel mac as libintl isn't available on the system
by default. This makes `:language` not work for the shipped macos releases,
though the reduction in build system complexity most likely outweighs that.
Problem: No tests for the termdebug plugin
Solution: Add some simple tests for the termdebug plugin

Problem: No support for writing extended attributes
Solution: Add extended attribute support for linux
It's been a long standing issue, that if you write a file with extended
attributes and backupcopy is set to no, the file will loose the extended
attributes.
So this patch adds support for retrieving the extended attributes and
copying it to the new file. It currently only works on linux, mainly
because I don't know the different APIs for other systems (BSD, MacOSX and
Solaris). On linux, this should be supported since Kernel 2.4 or
something, so this should be pretty safe to use now.
Enable the extended attribute support with normal builds.
I also added it explicitly to the :version output as well as make it
able to check using `:echo has("xattr")`, to have users easily check
that this is available.
In contrast to the similar support for SELINUX and SMACK support (which
also internally uses extended attributes), I have made this a FEAT_XATTR
define, instead of the similar HAVE_XATTR.
Add a test and change CI to include relevant packages so that CI can
test that extended attributes are correctly written.

This will fix the failing release job.
Ubuntu 18.04 is incompatible with checkout action version 4, which
requires glibc 2.28+. This will bump the minimum glibc version required
to use the release versions to 2.31. People requring the older releases
can find them at https://github.com/neovim/neovim-releases.
Team reviewers is a nice feature that comes with a severe drawback: it
makes testing the workflows incredibly difficult as they won't work
without a similar token by the tester.
Currently, the release build picks up headers in
`/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Headers`. You can verify this by
downloading the latest nightly build and checking the output of `nvim
--version`.
These headers are likely to be from a different version of `libintl` than the
one we link to. Let's avoid usage of them by setting `CMAKE_FIND_FRAMEWORK` to
`NEVER`.
Having to specify CI_BUILD for every CI job requires boilerplate. More
importantly, it's easy to forget to enable CI_BUILD, as seen by
8a20f9f98a. It's simpler to remember to
turn CI_BUILD off when a job errors instead of remembering that every
new job should have CI_BUILD on.
libtool, autoconf, automake and perl are no longer dependencies of
neovim and doesn't need to be installed in CI anymore. The dependencies
and the commit that removed them as dependencies are the following:
libtool: b05100a9ea
perl: 20a932cb72
autoconf+automake: e23c5fda0a
