# 0.7.0
 [](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/projects/10) [](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/milestone/9)
## Features
❯ Added a new [configuration to allow users to increase the comment brightness][readme-config-comment-brightness] by 1 - 20 percent. It can be enabled by setting the `g:nord_comment_brightness variable` to a number between `1` and `20`. (#48 in PR #56, @drzel, e18ab4e8)
**This option should only be enabled if the terminal supports 24bit true color (16 million colors) and requires the `termguicolors` option to be set is in `~/.vimrc` or via `:set termguicolors`!**
<p align="center"><strong>Default and 15% increased</strong><br><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7836623/30772939-a65c92b6-a066-11e7-92f2-2f7089fe7700.png"/><br><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7836623/30772941-b85577d0-a066-11e7-9c64-b9dab6736034.png"/></p>

To adhere to the Nord design guidelines this option uses `nord3` by default.
This is a reference table if users like to use the same increased contrast values as provided by the [Nord Atom Syntax accessibility custom comment contrast theme setting][nord-atom-syntax-pr-47] which are calculated using the LESSCSS [`lighten`][lesscss-doc-fn-lighten] function.

More information about true color and the support in various terminals can be found in [this gist][gist-colors-in-terminals].
❯ Added a new [configuration for a uniform *diff* background color][readme-config-uniform-diff-background]. (#60 in PR #61 #62 #65, @dylnmc @aidanharris @berkin, 958322d0)
Setting `g:nord_uniform_diff_background` to `1` enables the uniform diff background using `nord1`:

**Please note that this option should only be enabled if the used terminal supports italics!**

❯ Added support for NeoVim UI terminal colors. (#63, @meck, af01167b)
### Plugin Support
#### Syntax
❯ Added support for the [plasticboy/vim-markdown][plugin-plasticboy/vim-markdown] syntax plugin to match the style of the built-in markdown syntax styles. (#45 in PR #57, @VVVFO, 09921268)
#### UI
❯ Added support for the `PlugClean` command of the [junegunn/vim-plug][plugin-junegunn/vim-plug] plugin which used the `Ignore` group by default for deleted directory listings resulting in unreadable text when `cursorline` has been set. (#43 in PR #59, @dylnmc, e532b5d6)

❯ Added basic support for [tpope/vim-fugitive][plugin-tpope/vim-fugitive]. (#76 in PR #77, @anhari, fa09c3b1)
Filenames are now highlighted when using the `:Gstatus` command.
## Improvements
### Syntax
❯ Added highlight support for legacy *diff* groups `diffAdded` and `diffRemoved` of the `git.vim` and `diff.vim` syntx definitions. (#66 in PR #67, @brandoniffert, 99e59e67)
These groups are not in the [official vim documentation][vim-doc-diffAdd] but are still used by the syntax for example when run with `git commit --verbose`.
<p align="center"><strong>Before</strong><br><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7836623/32219558-d906cf5c-be2e-11e7-98e7-d22583bac4f0.png"/></p>

❯ Added highlighting support for Markdown *italic* and **bold** delimiter. (#90 in PR #92, 97c8aa24)
<p align="center"><strong>Before</strong><br><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7836623/34452697-fd3d6502-ed45-11e7-9ba1-8e19e032c009.png"/></p>

❯ Added missing Markdown *italic* and **bold** groups. (#84 in PR #91, @lokesh-krishna @dylnmc, 63b46125)
❯ Improved the highlighting for matching parens. (#75 and #71 in PR #78, @vincentzhezhang @cryptomaniac512 @dylnmc, 8eb7b2a6)
The background color intensity under the cursor was too bright and the cursor no more visible causing the user to be distracted to focus on the matching bracket instead of the bracket at the cursor position.
To optimally improve the highlighting `nord3` will now be used as background color for the matching element which doesn't conflict with the `cursorline` color and also stands out in order to see the matching element.

## Tasks
❯ Added the included [lightline theme to the official lightline repository][itchyny/lightline.vim-gh-257]. (#68 in [itchyny/lightline#257][itchyny/lightline.vim-gh-257], @lokesh-krishna, itchyny/lightline@e69081c1370a57647e05df21b60a4ef092c3ce91)
### Documentation
❯ Migrated to the MIT license to adapt to the migration of the main [Nord][nord-gh] project. Detailed information can be found in the [main task ticket][gh-55-arcticicestudio/nord]. (#69 in PR #70, fa55dc35)
# 0.6.0
 [](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/projects/9) [](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/milestone/8)
## Features
### Plugin Support
#### UI
❯ Added basic support for [CtrlP][plugin-ctrlp]. (PR #33, @syedelec)
* Matched characters are using the keyword color instead of the normal text color to make matched characters visible
* Already opened buffers now take the normal text color instead of the comment color
❯ Added basic support [ALE][plugin-ale]. (PR #44, @meck)
* Warning signs are colorized using a `nord13` foreground
* Error signs are colorized using a `nord11` foreground instead of a red background with a white foreground
## Improvements
### UI
❯ The fold marker foreground has been adjusted to match the comment color instead of `nord1` which has been too dark causing them to be unreadable in bright environments. The background color has also been changed to `nord1` to differ from normal comments and the font style is now bold for better legibility. (#38 in PR #40, @dylnmc)
❯ The highlight text of a active substitute search result is now underlined in order to make it more recognizable. (#35 in PR #41, @KevinSjoberg)
#### Neovim
❯ Addded support for the Neovim specific `:CheckHealth` status highlight groups. (#31 in PR #42, @syedelec, Thanks to @dylnmc)

## Features
### [Configurations][readme-config]
❯ Added a configuration to enable [italic comments](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim#italic-comments).
To adhere to the Nord style guide this option is disabled by default. It can be enabled by setting the `g:nord_italic_comments` variable to `1`.

# 0.3.0
 [](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/projects/6) [](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim/milestone/5)
## Improvements
### Plugin Support
❯ The [Nord lightline.vim][nord-lightline] UI plugin theme now includes better support for the [tmuxline.vim](https://github.com/edkolev/tmuxline.vim) plugin. Before this implementation text shown in the main segment of the tmuxline, generated via the `:Tmuxline lightline` command, has been colorized using `nord0` which resulted in unreadable text due to a `nord3` background.
This has been fixed by using `nord5` as foreground color. (@scottwillmoore, #11, 4ea37f7e)

❯ Fixed a typo in the [README installation guide](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-vim#via-pluginruntimepath-manager) for Vundle. (@kepbod, #10, 29145bbb)
❯ Fixed the banner of the [Nord iTerm2](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-iterm2) port project showing the [Nord GNOME Terminal](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-gnome-terminal) banner instead. (@shvetsovdm, #8 / [nord/#9](https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord/issues/9), 7a447b40)

## Improvements
❯ Characters under block cursors are now colored darker (`nord0`) while the block cursor is visible to achieve a optimal contrast and to avoid unreadability due to the same cursor- and foreground color (`nord4`). (@arcticicestudio / @scottwillmoore, #9, 30e1f7e3)

❯ The background color of visual mode selections is now colored in `nord1` instead of `nord3` to avoid a color collision with comments which has led to unreadable text.(@scottwillmoore, #7, bdb209f5)
