@JuliaRegistrator register

This release makes great progress on performance. Users will notice significant improvements in speed, both in loading the package as well as using it.

Package Precompiling

As an interactive application, this package has needed precompilation since the beginning. It's finally here! Using VimBindings.jl will no longer entail waiting a second or two for the first run of every command to compile from scratch. The combination of precompilation with the wonderful work done in Julia 1.9 to cache native code means that VimBindings.jl loads quickly when the REPL is started and runs commands without lag.

Runtime performance improvements

@MilesCranmer has made significant contributions which together make large strides in runtime performance. The changes:

  • improve the type inference across the package, reducing the ambiguity of types and improving the performance of parsing and executing commands
  • improve data structures to be more performant
  • improve use of global variables by declaring them const

Improved stability

Another contribution from @MilesCranmer guards against the package running infinite loops. This will help prevent the package from hijacking the user's REPL when it encounters a bug.
