Subject: Vim version 7.3 released! From: Bram Moolenaar Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2010 21:52:04 +0200 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: :help version-7.3 Gratitude --------- If you like Vim, this is the way to say thanks: http://iccf-holland.org/clinic.html Where to get it --------------- The best way to obtain the latest Vim 7.3 is using Mercurial.
