Yes the autosave option was disabled in 2.0.0. I don't see a reason for including it given the new backup option, especially since autosave tended to cause issues with other options as well (#1420). Perhaps autosave shouldn't be removed, since it is optional after all, but unless there is a good use-case I'm not thinking of, I don't see the point.

@zyedidia I understand your idea.
Based on description, backup is not what is needed (now I talk about myself). Of course backups are very useful thing.
But autosave is _exactly_ it, and, moreover, it does its job very predictable and good. Yes, it could be optional, but should work.
So please make this option work back.

I have added support for the autosave option back.

Does this mean autosave is now functional? Which release was it added to? I'm on

Version: 2.0.3

and it doesn't work. I have the autosave setting set to 10. I really like Micro and want to use but I can't if autosave isn't working.
