We recently, June 2016, started to migrate the MacVim backend (VimR-MacVim) to a NeoVim backend. Well, it's a complete rewrite in Swift for which we use Objective-C when appropriate. We experimented with NeoVim a bit ([nvox](https://github.com/qvacua/nvox)) and now we are confident enough to think that VimR can be backed by NeoVim. It will take some time though till the transition/rewrite is complete. Bear with us!
If you want to build VimR-MacVim, use the [macvim/master](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/tree/macvim/master) branch.
Since VimR-MacVim is not developed anymore, we also closed all issues involving VimR-MacVim.
About
-----
Project VimR is an attempt to refine the Vim experience. The goal is to build an editor that uses Vim inside with many of the convenience GUI features similar to those present in modern editors for Mac.
Download
--------
Pre-built binaries can be found [here](https://github.com/qvacua/vimr/releases).
From time to time I'll upload a bleeding edge build and you can download it [here](http://taewon.de/snapshots/?C=M;O=D).
* The library `libiconv` is linked by the linker flag `-liconv`. The version bundled with OSX will be linked.
* The library `libintl` should be installed by `homebrew` and is statically linked by explicitly using the linker flag `/usr/local/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.a`.
* Other libraries used by NeoVim, which are automatically built by building `libnvim`, are linked by adding them to the Xcode project.
