Neovim's recent updates indeed show the characteristics of "one stable and one new", each targeting different usage scenarios.
Stable version (v0.11.5): This version will be released in November 2025. It is a patch version of the 0.11 series. The core goal is to improve stability rather than introduce major new features. It fixes macOS scheduler priority issues, improves terminal response speed under high load, and optimizes the rendering effect of LSP (Language Server Protocol) diagnostics to reduce flickering of suspended documents. This version is more suitable for use in production environments, ensuring a smooth and reliable editing experience.
New version (v0.12 development version): It is expected to be launched in early 2026 and will bring a number of core functional innovations. Although specific details have not yet been fully disclosed, based on Neovim's development roadmap, v0.12 may further enhance capabilities in LSP interaction, Treesitter performance or terminal integration. This version is more suitable for developers and test users to explore new features and adapt to changes in advance.
