VimTeX 2.12

on GitHub

Another release, another set of updates. Some bug fixes, some improvements to the documentation, and some minor improvements and enhancements. This time, I think the main thing to highlight may be the improved main-file detection (core feature, most people will probably not notice it), as well as some improvements to the cache feature.
