Verleden week is versie 7.3 van Vi IMproved, oftewel Vim, uitgekomen. Deze universele editor Vim is ooit door Bram Moolenaar voor de Commodore Amiga ontwikkeld, maar is tegenwoordig ook voor Unix, Linux, Mac OS X, OS/2, DOS en Windows beschikbaar. Hoewel de vorige versie alweer twee jaar geleden het levenslicht zag, wil Bram de nieuwe versie geen major release noemen. De belangrijkste veranderingen kunnen in de aankondiging worden gevonden.
Announcing: Vim (Vi IMproved) version 7.3
This is a minor release of Vim. It consists of Vim 7.2 plus all patches, updated runtime files and some more, see below. It has been two years since the 7.2 release, thus it's not that "minor". But not "major" either. Something in between, don't know how to call that.
The most notable additions since 7.2:Once you have installed Vim 7.3 you can find all the details about the changes since Vim 7.2 with:
- Persistent undo and undo for reload
- Blowfish encryption, encryption of the swap file
- Conceal text
- Lua interface
- Python 3 interface
