Subject: Vim 7 snapshot 163


To make maintenance simpler I have removed the support for Mac OS 9 and
the KDE GUI.  Everybody appears to use OS/X now.  The KDE GUI never
worked very well and the maintainers have moved on to work on Yzis.

Let me know if there are undesired side effects or when some more things
can be removed.

The KDE GUI version that uses the Qt library was removed, yes.

> How bad was the KDE/Qt support in vim7?

Depending on the environment Vim would hang on startup, not show
any text and have resizing problems.

Of course it's fixable.  The GTK version works just fine under KDE.  But
if nobody does the work and there is no hope for someone doing it then I
give up.
