-# MiniBufExpl
-
-This is a fork of [Bindu Wavell][]'s [MiniBufExpl][] plugin for [Vim][].
-
-[Federico Holgado][] started this fork and made lots of improvements. It is
-currently maintained by [Techlive Zheng][], the development has been moved to
-[@techlivezheng's repo][], only new version will be released to [@fholgado's
-repo][].

-## The Story
-
->The reason why I took it upon myself to improve MiniBufExplorer is a matter of
-need. I am a User Interface designer who spends a lot of time writing front-
-end code. I recently found Vim and fell in love with it. During my search for
-the plugins that would help me the most, I came across MBE. I loved it
-initially, but quickly saw that it had some major flaws.
-
->After using MBE for some time, I have been able to identify some areas that
-needed some dire attention from a usability standpoint. I am doing my best to
-fix those issues without adding "feature bloat" or other unnecessary things to
-MBE. I am always open to suggestions and discussion as to what we can do to
-improve this great plugin.
-
->I would also like to thank [Bindu Wavell][], who is the plugin's original
-creator and [Oliver Uvman][], who like myself has been hacking at MBE to make
-needed improvements. My goal is to consolidate the code and act as the
-maintainer so that any further changes from contributors can be found in a
-single location.

-
->This is a very useful plugin, being able to see the buffer status in a
-tab-like fashion while you are working with mutiple buffers is very pleasant.
-Since @fholgado began to improve this plugin, lots of new features has been
-added, it's great. Meanwhile, there are still some annoying bugs that haven't
-been fixed for a long time, so I decide to step out and do something.

-## Improvements in Version 6.5.0
-
-### Bugfixes
-
-Squashed almost every known bugs due to the relase of version 6.5.0, for more
-details, please check out the 6.5.0 milestones.
-
-* https://github.com/fholgado/minibufexpl.vim/issues?milestone=1&page=1&state=closed
-* https://github.com/techlivezheng/vim-plugin-minibufexpl/issues?milestone=1&page=1&state=closed
-
-### Buffer With No Name
-
-Buffer without a name would be shown as `[1:--NO NAME--<timestamp>]` now.
-
-### User Interface Change
-
-Options, commands and key bindings have some changes, please see changelog for
-more details.
-
-### Cycle Buffer in MRU Fashion
-
-As a long expected feature, command ':MBEbf' or ':MBEbb' could be used to cycle
-the buffer forwards or backwards in the most recently used order.
-
-### Handle Buffers with Duplicate Name
-
-Mechanism for checking buffers with duplicate name has been totally refactored,
-it is now more efficient.
-
-Mechanism for generating unique name for these buffers has been refactored too,
-each buffer should be uniquely identified now.
-
- ./test --> test
- ./alpha/foo/test --> alpha/foo/test
- ./alpha/bar/test --> alpha/bar/test
- ./beta/new/test --> beta/-/test
- ./omega/old/test --> omega/old/test
- ./omega/test --> omega/test
-
-### MBE Window is Local to Tab Page
-
-Open or close MBE window in one tab page would not interfere another. Commands
-':MBEOpenAll', ':MBECloseAll' and ':MBEToggleAll' have been introduced to mani-
-pulate MBEs in all tab pags.
-
-### Preserve Window Entering History
-
-Previous versions of MBE will interfere the window entering history on updating,
-this behavior has caused many incompatibilities with other plugins. It should
-be fixed now, 'wincmd p' would work as usual.
-
-### Quit MBE if No More Normal Window Open
-
-MBE now will be closed if all the other open windows are plugin windows.
-
-### Delete/Wipeout/Unload Buffers Preserving the Window
-
-Commnad ':MBEbd', ':MBEbw' or ':MBEbun' could be used to delete/wipeout/unload
-buffers just as ':bd', ':bw' or ':bun', but the window that previously holding
-them will be preserved.
-
-## Improvements in Previous Versions
-
-### Current Buffer Highlighting
-
-Previously, MBE would only tell you if a buffer was currently visible in the
-editor like such:
-
-![][current_buffer_old]
-
-[current_buffer_old]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/current_buffer/old.png
-
-Now, MBE shows you the buffer that is currently visible _and_ active in the
-editor. Here is an animated GIF that shows the current buffer highlighting in
-action:
-
-![][current_buffer_new]
-
-[current_buffer_new]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/mbe1.gif
-
-### Duplicate Buffer Names
-
-If you are an MBE user, I am sure you are familiar with the following
-scenario:
-
-![][dup_buf_names_old]
-
-[dup_buf_names_old]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/dupe_buf_names/old_fade.png
-
-The problem is that buffers with the same filename do not get differentiated,
-and it makes it very hard to find the buffer you are trying to edit. The
-simple solution is to show a parent directory that is different between all
-buffers like such:
-
-![][dup_buf_names_new]
-
-[dup_buf_names_new]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/dupe_buf_names/new_fade.png
-
-Let me explain how it works. Let's observe 2 files that have the same
-filename.
-
- /Users/fholgado/Sites/website1/css/style.css
- /Users/fholgado/Sites/website2/css/style.css
-
-You'll notice both files have the same filename _and_ are in a folder called
-'css'. This happens all the time in web development projects.
-
-In order to differentiate the two files, MBE now crawls up the directory tree
-and finds the first parent directory that differs from both files, which in
-this case is 'website1' and 'website2'. MBE will now show you these 2 files as
-such:
-
- [1:website1/style.css][2:website2/style.css]
-
-### Buffer States
-
-It is always important to be able to see at a glance what buffers are modified
-and need to be saved. MBE now shows you respective colors whether the buffer
-is modified or not modified.
-
-![][buffer_status]
-
-[buffer_status]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/save_states/new.png
-
-**Most importantly**, MBE now updates the buffer states immediately after
-making changes, instead of the previous behavior that only updated buffer
-states when switching buffers.
-
-### Status Line Clutter
-
-Previously, the MBE buffer would use the same statusline that is currently
-configured for Vim. This adds a lot of visual clutter to MBE and does not add
-any functionality, since the status line is showing information for a buffer
-that does not contain any real content.
-
-![][stauts_line_clutter_old]
-
-[status_line_clutter_old]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/status_line/old.png
-
-MBE now uses it's own custom Status Line format to reduce the unwanted
-information. This line is customizable and can even be empty.
-
-![][status_line_clutter_new]
-
-[status_line_clutter_new]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/status_line/new.png
-
-### Window Auto Resizing
-
-Previously, the MBE buffer made the automatic window resizing using the ctrl +
-w + = command in Vim. Many of you have seen the following picture:
-
-![][window_auto_resizing_old]
-
-[window_auto_resizing_old]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/window_resizing/old.png
-
-MBE now maintains it's buffer size both in horizontal and vertical mode when
-using window resizing commands. Now you can take a Vim tab that looks like
-this:
-
-![][window_auto_resizing_new1]
-
-[window_auto_resizing_new1]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/window_resizing/new1.png
-
-And turn it into something like this without worrying about the MBE window
-becoming large as well:
-
-![][window_auto_resizing_new2]
-
-[window_auto_resizing_new2]: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/118650/mbe/screenshots/window_resizing/new2.png
-
-### Customizing Colors
-
-Here are all the color additions to customize MBE's new features. You can add
-the following to your Color file and customize the color accordingly:
-
- " MiniBufExpl Colors
