This version is an update to the today's release of Vim 6.2. It should be available on the mirrors within a few hours. Like previous versions it's build with multibyte editing support but without any interpreter support. The official release message: ======================================================================= Announcing: Vim (Vi IMproved) version 6.2 - the Amiga memorial edition Author: Bram Moolenaar et al. Announcement ------------ This is a bugfix release of Vim. Since Vim 6.1 hundreds of reported problems have been fixed. Also included are new and updated syntax files, translated menus and messages. The main new features are: - Support for GTK 2. (Daniel Elstner) - Support for editing Arabic text. (Nadim Shaikli & Isam Bayazidi) - ":try" command and exception handling. (Servatius Brandt) - Support for the neXtaw GUI toolkit (mostly like Athena). (Alexey Froloff) - Cscope support for Win32. (Sergey Khorev) - Support for PostScript printing in various 8-bit encodings. (Mike Williams) Once you have installed 6.2 you can find details about the changes since Vim 6.1 with ":help version-6.2". There is a long list of fixed bugs. What is Vim? ------------ Vim is an almost 100% compatible version of the UNIX editor Vi. Many new features have been added: Multi level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history, filename completion, block operations, etc. Those who don't know Vi can probably skip this message, unless you are prepared to learn something new and useful. Vim is especially recommended for editing programs. Vim runs on almost any Unix flavor, MS-DOS, MS-Windows 3.1, MS-Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, OS/2, Atari MiNT, BeOS, VMS, RISC OS, Macintosh and Amiga. For more information, see http://www.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 reproducable 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 -U NONE".
