For each of the functions below, use the corresponding function in

- *vim.lsp.diagnostic.display()*	Use |vim.diagnostic.show()| instead.

- *vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_underline()*
- *vim.lsp.diagnostic.set_virtual_text()*

Configuring |diagnostic-signs| with |:sign-define| or |sign_define()| is no
longer supported. Use the "signs" key of |vim.diagnostic.config()| instead.

LSP FUNCTIONS
- *vim.lsp.buf.server_ready()*
  Use |LspAttach| instead, depending on your use-case. "Server ready" is not
  part of the LSP spec, so the Nvim LSP client cannot meaningfully implement
  it. "Ready" is ambiguous because:
  - Language servers may finish analyzing the workspace, but edits can always
    re-trigger analysis/builds.
  - Language servers can serve some requests even while processing changes.
- *vim.lsp.buf.range_code_action()*		Use |vim.lsp.buf.code_action()| with
						the `range` parameter.
- *vim.lsp.util.diagnostics_to_items()*		Use |vim.diagnostic.toqflist()| instead.
- *vim.lsp.util.set_qflist()*			Use |setqflist()| instead.
- *vim.lsp.util.set_loclist()*			Use |setloclist()| instead.
- *vim.lsp.buf_get_clients()*			Use |vim.lsp.get_clients()| with
						{buffer=bufnr} instead.
- *vim.lsp.buf.formatting()*			Use |vim.lsp.buf.format()| with
						{async=true} instead.
- *vim.lsp.buf.formatting_sync()*		Use |vim.lsp.buf.format()| with
						{async=false} instead.
- *vim.lsp.buf.range_formatting()*		Use |vim.lsp.formatexpr()|
						or |vim.lsp.buf.format()| instead.
- *vim.lsp.util.get_progress_messages()*	Use |vim.lsp.status()| or access
						`progress` of |vim.lsp.Client|
- *vim.lsp.get_active_clients()*		Use |vim.lsp.get_clients()|
- *vim.lsp.for_each_buffer_client()*		Use |vim.lsp.get_clients()|
- *vim.lsp.util.lookup_section()*		Use |vim.tbl_get()| and
						|vim.split()| with {plain=true} instead.
- *vim.lsp.util.trim_empty_lines()*		Use |vim.split()| with `trimempty` instead.
- *vim.lsp.util.try_trim_markdown_code_blocks()*
- *vim.lsp.util.set_lines()*
- *vim.lsp.util.extract_completion_items()*
- *vim.lsp.util.parse_snippet()*
- *vim.lsp.util.text_document_completion_list_to_complete_items()*

TREESITTER FUNCTIONS

						instead.
- *LanguageTree:for_each_child()*		Use |LanguageTree:children()|
						(non-recursive) instead.

LUA

- *vim.pretty_print()*			Use |vim.print()| instead.
- *vim.loop*				Use |vim.uv| instead.
- *vim.tbl_add_reverse_lookup()*
- *vim.tbl_flatten()*			Use |Iter:flatten()| instead.
- *vim.tbl_islist()*			Use |vim.islist()| instead.

NORMAL COMMANDS
- *]f* *[f*		Same as "gf".

OPTIONS
- *cpo-<* *:menu-<special>* *:menu-special* *:map-<special>* *:map-special*
  `<>` notation is always enabled.
- *'fe'*		'fenc'+'enc' before Vim 6.0; no longer used.
- *'highlight'* *'hl'*	Names of builtin |highlight-groups| cannot be changed.
- *'langnoremap'*	Deprecated alias to 'nolangremap'.

- *'viminfo'*		Deprecated alias to 'shada' option.
- *'viminfofile'*	Deprecated alias to 'shadafile' option.
- *'paste'* *'nopaste'*	Just Paste It.™  The 'paste' option is obsolete:
			|paste| is handled automatically when you paste text
			using your terminal's or GUI's paste feature
			(CTRL-SHIFT-v, CMD-v (macOS), middle-click, …).
			Enables "paste mode":
			  - Disables mappings in Insert, Cmdline mode.
			  - Disables abbreviations.
			  - Resets 'autoindent' 'expandtab' 'revins' 'ruler'
			    'showmatch' 'smartindent' 'smarttab' 'softtabstop'
			    'textwidth' 'wrapmargin'.
			  - Treats 'formatoptions' as empty.
			  - Disables the effect of these options:
			    - 'cindent'
			    - 'indentexpr'
			    - 'lisp'

UI EXTENSIONS
- *ui-wildmenu*		Use |ui-cmdline| with |ui-popupmenu| instead. Enabled
			by the `ext_wildmenu` |ui-option|. Emits these events:
			- `["wildmenu_show", items]`
			- `["wildmenu_select", selected]`
			- `["wildmenu_hide"]`
- *term_background*	Unused. The terminal background color is now detected
			by the Nvim core directly instead of the TUI.

VARIABLES
- *b:terminal_job_pid*	PID of the top-level process in a |:terminal|.
			Use `jobpid(&channel)` instead.
