Ryan Paul wrote a nice article after figuring out that Vim was born 20 years ago. That is the day Vim was first send out to the world. I have actually been working on it a big longer, let's consider that a pregnancy (without the side effects :-). You can find the full article here. (Bram Moolenaar)

Vim users are encouraged to support needy children in Uganda, as a "thank you" for all the work. I have recently visited the project to see what they are doing with our donations. They are doing very well! Read my visit report, with lots of pictures, you can find it here. (Bram Moolenaar)

| Vim 7.3e BETA version available |
[2010-08-08]
This might be the last BETA version before the 7.3 release.

| Vim 7.3d BETA version available |
[2010-08-05]
Main reason to make this version available is the switch in MS-Windows compiler.
Previously I used MSVC 2010, which generates binaries that don't run on MS-Windows 2000.
Now MSVC 2008 was used, we need to check whether these binaries also run on new versions of MS-Windows.
More details in the announcement. (Bram Moolenaar)

| Vim 7.3 testing has started |
[2010-05-15]
After more than 400 patches for Vim 7.2 it's about time for a new release!
Vim 7.3 is going to be mostly a bugfix release.
But I also plan to include a few new features.
This has been discussed on the Vim-dev maillist.
For now the test version will only be available as source code from Mercurial.
This allows for quickly making updates.
See the Mercurial page for instructions.
Please try it out and report any problems.
Discussions about Vim 7.3 will take place in the vim-dev maillist (Bram Moolenaar)
