[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: vim-7.1-1


I have updated the version of vim on cygwin.com to 7.1-1.

This is an update to the new upstream version 7.1.  Cygwin Vim
still builds from the vanilla sources.

The official release message:

=======================================================================
Announcing:  Vim (Vi IMproved) version 7.1


This is a stable release of Vim, version 7.1.  Since version 7.0 lots of
problems were fixed and runtime files were updated.  It has been one
year and five days since 7.0!

Most of Vim 7.1 was already available as patches for quite a while.  A
couple of test versions were made to spot problems in the distribution.
Therefore Vim 7.1 can be considered very stable.

If you are using an older version, it is highly recommended you install
Vim 7.1.  Several crashing bugs and a security issue were fixed.

Once you have installed Vim 7.1 you can find details about the
changes since Vim 7.0 with ":help version-7.1".

I will not make an Amiga or OS/2 binary for Vim 7.1.  A Mac version is
hopefully available soon on http://macvim.org/

For user questions you can turn to the Vim mailing list.  There are a

only if you subscribe.  See http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim

If you want to help Vim development 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

Before you ask a question you should search the archives, someone may
already have given the answer.


Reporting bugs
--------------

Send them to <bugs@vim.org>.  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!
