This seems like a simple oversight. Adding this allows the user to map the extra side buttons on a mouse useful for navigation commands.

Updated to Vim 9.1.1887
This update is still built against macOS 15 Sequoia, and does not
contain any specific fixes or improvements for macOS 26 Tahoe. That will
come in a future update.
Announcements
====================
Moving macOS 10.13 - 10.15 support to legacy release
--------------------
Currently, MacVim binary releases are available in two versions: a
normal version (macOS 10.13 or above), and a legacy version (macOS
10.9-10.12). Starting next release (r183), the normal version will
require macOS 11 or above (due to Xcode 26 requirements), and macOS
10.13-10.15 users will need to use the legacy version instead. This will
mostly be a transparent change, and the updater will automatically
update to the right version. The legacy version should be almost
identical to said users as they are using older versions of macOS that
can't make use of newer OS features to begin with.
In the future we may remove support for macOS 10.9-10.12 but for now
they are still supported.
Features
====================
Better mouse support
--------------------
- Scroll wheels should feel much better to use in MacVim. A small scroll
is now guaranteed to scroll at least one line, and shift-scrolling
(horizontal scroll) works correctly now. You can now also turn off
macOS's scroll wheel acceleration to scroll a fixed amount of lines in
the "Input" settings pane. #1566
- Mouse buttons 4 and 5 can now be bound to `<X1Mouse>` and `<X2Mouse>`
in Vim mappings (`:h X1Mouse`). #1534
New Vim Features
====================
- Diff mode improvements
- Vim diff can now highlight per-character or per-word differences
within a line. Per-character highlighting is now used by default.
See `:h diffopt` under "inline". v9.1.1242
- Diff anchors allow for more explicit controls over how and where
the diff algorithm aligns text across files (`:h diff-anchors`).
v9.1.1557
- Lots of auto-completion improvements. Some highlights below:
- New option: `autocomplete`. Get completion suggestions as you
type. See `:h ins-autocompletion`. v9.1.1590
- Fuzzy matching now uses the fzf algorithm. v9.1.1627
- Popup menu borders can now be styled (`:h pumborder` / `:h
completepopup`). v9.1.1835 / v9.1.1856
- Can now specify a custom completion source when using insert-mode
completion (`:h 'complete'`). v9.1.1301
- `set completeopt+=nearest` will sort completion items by proximity
to the cursor. v9.1.1308
- Command-line completion
- Search commands like `/` and `:g` can be tab-completed now.
v9.1.1490 v9.1.1526
- Commands like `:filetype` and `:highlight` have better
auto-completion. v9.1.1340 / v9.1.1138
- New vertical tab panel. v9.1.1490
- new bundled optional plugins (use `packadd` to enable them):
- hlyank (`:h package-hlyank`): Briefly highlight region of last
yank command
- new commands:
- `:uniq` (`:h :uniq`): Remove duplicate adjacent lines v9.1.1477
General
====================
- Sparkle (updater for MacVim) is now updated to 2.8.0. #1605
Security Fixes
====================
- Fixed MacVim erroneously setting the get-task-allow entitlement, which
could allow another user-installed application to inspect it
(CVE-2025-8597) #1585
Fixes
====================
- Fixed issue where macOS services (available in the "Services" menu)
could not insert text when not in visual mode. #1571#1569
- Fixed issue where guifont did not accept PostScript names with
underscores (e.g. "CascadiaMono-Regular_Light"). #1600
- MacVim now uses the standard `v:colornames` variable for choosing
highlight colors. #1568
- Vim syntax now understands MacVim-specific function
`showdefinition()`. #1601
Compatibility
====================
Requires macOS 10.9 or above. (10.9 - 10.12 requires downloading a
separate legacy build)
Script interfaces have compatibility with these versions:
- Lua 5.4
- Perl 5.34
- Python2 2.7
- Python3 3.9 or above
- Ruby 3.4

identical to said users as they are using older versions of macOS that
can't make use of newer OS features to begin with.
In the future we may remove support for macOS 10.9-10.12 but for now
they are still supported.
Features
====================
Better mouse support
--------------------
- Scroll wheels should feel much better to use in MacVim. A small scroll
is now guaranteed to scroll at least one line, and shift-scrolling
(horizontal scroll) works correctly now. You can now also turn off
macOS's scroll wheel acceleration to scroll a fixed amount of lines in
the "Input" settings pane. #1566
- Mouse buttons 4 and 5 can now be bound to `<X1Mouse>` and `<X2Mouse>`
in Vim mappings (`:h X1Mouse`). #1534
New Vim Features
====================
- Diff mode improvements
- Vim diff can now highlight per-character or per-word differences
within a line. Per-character highlighting is now used by default.
See `:h 'diffopt'` under "inline". v9.1.1243
- Diff anchors allow for more explicit controls over how and where
the diff algorithm aligns text across files (`:h diff-anchors`).
v9.1.1557
- Lots of auto-completion improvements. Some highlights below:
- New option: `autocomplete`. Get completion suggestions as you
type. See `:h ins-autocompletion`. v9.1.1590
- Fuzzy matching now uses the fzf algorithm. v9.1.1627
- Popup menu borders can now be styled (`:h 'pumborder'` / `:h
'completepopup'`). v9.1.1835 / v9.1.1856
- Can now specify a custom completion source when using insert-mode
completion (`:h 'complete'`). v9.1.1301
- `set completeopt+=nearest` will sort completion items by proximity
to the cursor. v9.1.1308
- Command-line completion
- Search commands like `/` and `:g` can be tab-completed now.
v9.1.1490 v9.1.1526
- Commands like `:filetype` and `:highlight` have better
auto-completion. v9.1.1340 / v9.1.1138
- New vertical tab panel (`:h tabpanel`). v9.1.1391
- new bundled optional plugins (use `packadd` to enable them):
- hlyank (`:h package-hlyank`): Briefly highlight region of last
yank command
- new commands:
- `:uniq` (`:h :uniq`): Remove duplicate adjacent lines v9.1.1477
General
====================
- Sparkle (updater for MacVim) is now updated to 2.8.0. #1605
Security Fixes
====================
- Fixed MacVim erroneously setting the get-task-allow entitlement, which
could allow another user-installed application to inspect it
(CVE-2025-8597) #1585
Fixes
====================
- Fixed issue where macOS services (available in the "Services" menu)
could not insert text when not in visual mode. #1571#1569
- Fixed issue where guifont did not accept PostScript names with
underscores (e.g. "CascadiaMono-Regular_Light"). #1600
- MacVim now uses the standard `v:colornames` variable for choosing
highlight colors. #1568
- Vim syntax now understands MacVim-specific function
`showdefinition()`. #1601
Compatibility
====================
Requires macOS 10.9 or above. (10.9 - 10.12 requires downloading a
separate legacy build)
Script interfaces have compatibility with these versions:
- Lua 5.4
- Perl 5.34
- Python2 2.7
- Python3 3.9 or above
- Ruby 3.4
