Announcing: Vim (Vi IMproved) version 7.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a stable release of Vim, version 7.1. Since version 7.0 lots of
|
|
problems were fixed and runtime files were updated. It has been one
|
|
year and five days since 7.0!
|
|
|
|
Most of Vim 7.1 was already available as patches for quite a while. A
|
|
couple of test versions were made to spot problems in the distribution.
|
|
Therefore Vim 7.1 can be considered very stable.
|
|
|
|
If you are using an older version, it is highly recommended you install
|
|
Vim 7.1. Several crashing bugs and a security issue were fixed.
|
|
|
|
Once you have installed Vim 7.1 you can find details about the
|
|
changes since Vim 7.0 with ":help version-7.1".
|
|
|
|
I will not make an Amiga or OS/2 binary for Vim 7.1. A Mac version is
|
|
hopefully available soon on http://macvim.org/
|
|

|
|
|
|
If you want to help Vim development or get the latest patches, subscribe
|
|
to the vim-dev mailing list. See http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim-dev

Reporting bugs
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Send them to <bugs@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!
|
|
|
|
If something needs discussing with other developers, send a message to the
|
|
vim-dev mailing list. You need to subscribe first.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Happy Vimming!
