This is an update to the new upstream version 7.2. Cygwin Vim builds from the vanilla sources. The official release message: ======================================================================= Hello Vim users, Announcing: Vim (Vi IMproved) version 7.2 This is a minor release of Vim. In the 15 months since Vim 7.1 many bugs were fixed and runtime files have been added and updated. There are also security improvements, therefore it's a good idea to upgrade. The main new feature since 7.1 is floating point support. You can use it in the Vim script language to add up a list of amounts, for example. Once you have installed Vim 7.2 you can find details about the changes since Vim 7.1 with ":help version-7.2". Notes ----- The new O'Reilly book "Learning the Vi and Vim editors" is now available. See http://iccf-holland.org/click5.html I will not make an Amiga or OS/2 binary for Vim 7.2. A Mac version is hopefully available soon on http://macvim.org/ and/or from the MacVim project at http://code.google.com/p/macvim/ A Win64 binary should be available soon at http://code.google.com/p/vim-win3264/ There is no 16-bit DOS version, the executable is too big to fit in the limited memory space.

There are a lot of tips, scripts and solutions. You can ask your Vim questions, but only if you subscribe. See http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim If you want to help Vim development, discuss new features or get the latest patches, subscribe to the vim-dev mailing list. See http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim-dev Subject specific lists: Multi-byte issues: http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim-multibyte Macintosh issues: http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim-mac Before you ask a question you should search the archives, someone may already have given the answer. 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! 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! ======================================================================= To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page.
