This is a minor release of Vim. In the 15 months since Vim 7.1 many
bugs were fixed and runtime files have been added and updated. There
are also security improvements, therefore it's a good idea to upgrade.
The main new feature since 7.1 is floating point support. You can use
it in the Vim script language to add up a list of amounts, for example.
Once you have installed Vim 7.2 you can find details about the changes
since Vim 7.1 with ":help version-7.2".
