bug: lazy ui does not work on neovim 0.8 about lazy.nvim HOT 2 CLOSED

I should be clear that I don't expect you support a version of Neovim that is two years old, just a suggestion of how I can use an older version of Lazy. I cannot update Neovim, I don't have permissions for this computer. I'm stuck with what I have and I'm trying to get my tools to work as well as they can on an old version.

from lazy.nvim.

Not sure if the maintainer will support this, but you can fix this error by changing these lines to the following

  local normal, has_bg
  if vim.fn.has("nvim-0.9.0") == 0 then
    normal = vim.api.nvim_get_hl_by_name("Normal", true)
    has_bg = normal and normal.background ~= nil
  else
    normal = vim.api.nvim_get_hl(0, { name = "Normal" })
    has_bg = normal and normal.bg ~= nil
  end

@folke Should I make a PR about this or is it something you're not willing to support? The docs do say in the requirements that Neovim should be >=0.8.0, but I'm not sure how you'd like to move forward.

Edit: Did it anyway, feel free to simply reject if you decide you're not willing to support so old Neovim versions from now on.
