Vim (Vi improved) is gebaseerd op Vi, een tekstbewerkingsprogramma met name bekend van het Unix-platform. Het programma is onder andere beschikbaar voor Unix, DOS, Windows, Amiga, OS/2 en Mac OS X. Versie 6.4 is sinds kort beschikbaar en men heeft zich alleen gericht op het verhelpen van fouten en het vertalen van menu's en meldingen. De meegeleverde aankondiging ziet er als volgt uit:
This is a bugfix release of Vim. Since Vim 6.3 dozens of reported problems have been fixed. Also included are new and updated syntax files, translated menus and messages.
There are no new features. This release is only fixing bugs.
A Beta version revealed a few problems, mostly in the creation of the generated files. This has been fixed and tested again. I am confident that the 6.4 release is the most stable Vim ever!
Once you have installed 6.4 you can find details about the changes since Vim 6.3 with ":help version-6.4". There is a long list of fixed bugs.
What is next?
Vim 7! If I keep getting donations from sponsors and registered Vim users I will be able to add several "big" features. One of the new features is spell checking, it already works quite well.
