Since the Vim editor is such an important tool in my daily tasks, a new release is always welcomed. Vim version 7.3a BETA was released a few days ago. It contains over 400 patches that mostly are bugfixes, but there are some new features also

  • Lua interface
  • Python 3 interface,
  • Persistent undo
  • Blowfish encryption, also encrypt the swap file
  • Conceal text

To download the latest vim, use mercurial with the following commands

hg clone https://vim.googlecode.com/hg/ vim
cd vim
hg update vim73

I dont know how the persistent undo and conceal text features work right now, but I’m gonna try them out when i get to work today using :help version-7.3. My Vim Configuration will be updated as soon as possible!
