Vim News

[2010-08-15] Finally, after two years of hard work, this is a new release of Vim. It includes an awful lot of bug fixes and a few new features. It is better than ever before. For the details see the announcement or go directly to the download page. (Bram Moolenaar)

[2010-08-13] This is the last BETA before the 7.3 release. Please give it a try and report any problem you notice. If you don't then 7.3 won't be as good as it could have been! See the announcement for more information. (Bram Moolenaar)

[2010-08-08] This might be the last BETA version before the 7.3 release. Reported problems have been fixed, it should be ready for daily use now. Read the details in the announcement. (Bram Moolenaar)

[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)

[2010-08-01] Getting closer to Vim 7.3!. Mostly bug fixes since 7.3b. More testing is still needed, please try it out and report any problems you find. You can find the announcement with download instructions here: announcement. (Bram Moolenaar)

[2010-07-25] Another step in getting to Vim 7.3. Bugs have been fixed and the new features have been tuned. More testing is needed, please try it out and report any problems you find. You can find the announcement with download instructions here: announcement. (Bram Moolenaar)

[2010-07-18] A lot of patches have been included, bugs fixed, documentation updated, runtime files added... Time for a release! Well, it needs to be tested first. So, try it out and report any problems you find. You can find the announcement with download instructions here: announcement (Bram Moolenaar)

[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)

[2010-02-21] The collection of Vim scripts keeps growing. It gets more difficult to find the one you need. Some are outdated, some are wonderful. To allow users to comment on scripts I have added a link. You can find it in the upper right of each script page. This link takes you to the wikia Vim site. Most pages are empty, feel free to create one and add something useful for other Vim users. (Bram Moolenaar)

[2009-12-08] You can now show off your preferred editor to all people around you. It's a simple "distinguished" design. A small amount of the price goes to help Vim, which in fact means goes to help needy children in Uganda. You can order the T-shirt at Freewear (Bram Moolenaar)
