Theme config for bolder vertical split line — #132 ⇄ #153 (⊶ 9059d7d8) by @huyvohcmc
↠ Previously the VertSplit (:help VertSplit) key used nord1 as background color by default making the line appear to be very lumpy. This has now been changed to use nord0 as background instead to visually merge with the background so only the separator characters are a visual indicator for the split line which makes it look more lightweight and declutters the overall appearance.
With base editor background (default)
With enabled bold nord1 background
To allow user who liked the previous implementation to keep the style a new nord_bold_vertical_split_line theme config was also added that can be assigned to 1 to achieve the legacy design.
let g:nord_bold_vertical_split_line = 1
The README includes information and hints how to change the separator character by customizing Vim's fillchars (:help fillchars) variable.

Vim 8 terminal highlighting — #125 ⇄ #126 (⊶ 83f8c260) by @cg433n
↠ Added support for the Vim's built-in terminal (:terminal) that comes with version 8.0.0 and higher.
Improvements
Comment Color Brightness — #145 ⇄ #146 (⊶ 9e0249ca)
↠ Implemented the increase of the comment color (nord3) brightness by 10% from a lightness level of ~35% to ~45%.
➜ Please see arcticicestudio/nord#94 for all details about this design change decision!
⚠ NOTE: This change also deprecates the comment contrast configuration that will be removed in Nord Vim version 1.0.0!
The default comment color has been adjusted so the configuration is not required anymore for users to increase the brightness on their own.
To notify users about this change a deprecation warning will be shown when the g:nord_comment_brightness configuration variable has been set and initialized through the user's configuration.
Improvements
Improved compatibility of airline with tmuxline.vim plugin — #117 ⇄ #128 (⊶ 3150628f)
↠ The Nord airline.vim UI plugin theme now includes better support for the tmuxline.vim plugin. Previously text shown in the main segment of the tmuxline, generated via the :Tmuxline airline command, caused a bad colour: NONE error or has been colorized using nord0 which resulted in unreadable text due to a nord3 background.
This has been fixed by using nord5 as foreground color. …#11 was used as implementation reference since it fixed the same incompatibility for the lightline.vim plugin.

❯ Improved the highlighting for matching parens. (#75 and #71 in PR #78, @vincentzhezhang @cryptomaniac512 @dylnmc, 8eb7b2a6)
The background color intensity under the cursor was too bright and the cursor no more visible causing the user to be distracted to focus on the matching bracket instead of the bracket at the cursor position.
To optimally improve the highlighting nord3 will now be used as background color for the matching element which doesn't conflict with the cursorline color and also stands out in order to see the matching element.
