Jan 1, 2026In January 2026, delivered a focused bug fix to restore YAML formatting integrity in Ansible Playbooks within macvim-dev/macvim. By correcting a misplaced shiftwidth() reference in the indentation script, the YAML scripts now format consistently after edits (e.g., gg=G), reducing the risk of misconfigurations in deployments and simplifying code reviews. This work closes issue #19180, and the commit af973d401803fb1110f699ced6df45b74fcaed2b includes a full Signed-off-by chain. The work improves reliability of playbooks, accelerates onboarding, and strengthens maintainability of the codebase.
