Hello Vim users,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Announcing: Vim (Vi IMproved) version 7.3
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is a minor release of Vim. It consists of Vim 7.2 plus all
|
|||
|
|
patches, updated runtime files and some more, see below. It has been
|
|||
|
|
two years since the 7.2 release, thus it's not that "minor". But not
|
|||
|
|
"major" either. Something in between, don't know how to call that.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The most notable additions since 7.2:
|
|||
|
|
- Persistent undo and undo for reload
|
|||
|
|
- Blowfish encryption, encryption of the swap file
|
|||
|
|
- Conceal text
|
|||
|
|
- Lua interface
|
|||
|
|
- Python 3 interface
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Once you have installed Vim 7.3 you can find all the details about the
|
|||
|
|
changes since Vim 7.2 with:

|||

|
|||
|
|
latest patches, subscribe to the vim-dev mailing list. See

Reporting bugs
|

|
|
--------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Send them to <vim-...@vim.org>. Please describe the problem precisely.
|
|||
|
|
All the time spent on answering mail is subtracted from the time that is
|
|||
|
|
spent on improving Vim! Always give a reproducible example and try to
|
|||
|
|
find out which settings or other things influence the appearance of the
|
|||
|
|
bug. Try starting without your own vimrc file: "vim -u NONE". Try
|
|||
|
|
different machines if possible. See ":help bugs" in Vim. Send me a
|
|||
|
|
patch if you can!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Happy Vimming!
