This is an update to the new upstream version 7.1. Cygwin Vim still builds from the vanilla sources. The official release message: ======================================================================= 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.

Reporting bugs -------------- Send them to . Please describe the problem precisely. All the time spent on answering mail is subtracted from the time that is spent on improving Vim!
