Собсно, с чем вас всех и поздравляю. Скорее всего в ближайшее время Vim в сизифе обновится ;-) ----- Forwarded message from Bram Moolenaar ----- Date: Fri, 24 Mar 2006 23:47:04 +0100 From: Bram Moolenaar To: vim-announce@vim Subject: Vim version 7.0b BETA has been released Announcing: Vim (Vi IMproved) version 7.0b BETA This is the first BETA release of Vim 7. Since Vim 6.4 many new features have been added. To mention a few: - Spell checking support for about 50 languages - Intelligent completion: Omni completion - Tab pages, each containing multiple windows - Undo branches: never accidentally lose text again - Vim script supports Lists and Dictionaries (similar to Python) - Vim script profiling - Improved Unicode support - Highlighting of matching parens, cursor line and cursor column - Translated manual pages for French, Italian and Russian - Internal grep; works on all platforms, searches compressed files - Browsing of remote directories, zip and tar archives - Printing multi-byte text Once you have installed Vim 7.0b BETA you can find details about the changes since Vim 6.4 with ":help version7". There are also a lot of bug fixes. We can still change option names, function arguments, etc. at this moment. Please check the new features for consistency and ease of use. Testing ------- This is a BETA test version. Because this is the very first release of Vim 7 watch out for missing and misplaced files in the distribution. The 16 bit DOS version is missing, the data doesn't fit in 64 Kbyte. I don't know if that can still be fixed. I will not make an Amiga or OS/2 binary for Vim 7. A Mac version should be available soon.

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! -- Two fish in a tank.
