- which resulted in changes in PLIST in vim-share
- some minor changes to DESCR files (add more vim guis)
- reset PKGREVISION on vim-gtk2
- add new files to vim-lang
The most notable additions since 7.2:
- Persistent undo and undo for reload
- Blowfish encryption, encryption of the swap file
- Conceal text
- Lua interface
- Python 3 interface
Once you have installed Vim 7.3 you can find all the details about the
changes since Vim 7.2 with:
:help version-7.3
2873 7.2.011 error when inserting a float value from expression register
1444 7.2.012 compiler warnings when building with startup timing
4157 7.2.013 hang when waiting for X selection, consuming lots of CPU time
1769 7.2.014 synstack() doesn't work in an emptly line
1943 7.2.015 "make all test install" doesn't stop when the test fails
4536 7.2.016 cmdline completion pattern can be in freed memory
5319 7.2.017 X11: strlen() used wrongly, pasting very big selection fails
1390 7.2.018 memory leak when substitute is aborted
1751 7.1.253 ":sort" doesn't work in a one line file
1894 7.1.254 Tests 49 and 55 fail when the locale is French
1514 7.1.255 Vim doesn't support utf-32
50921 7.1.256 findfile() also returns directories
3326 7.1.257 configure can't always find the Tcl header files
3360 7.1.258 crash when doing "d/\n/e" and 'virtualedit' is "all"
1944 7.1.259 cursor in wrong place with 'rl', "utf-8" and illegal byte
1805 7.1.260 cursor position wrong after ^@ wrapping halfway if using utf-8
2255 7.1.261 for a 2 byte BOM UCS-2 is used, which doesn't work for UTF-16
3438 7.1.262 can't get the process ID of Vim
2442 7.1.263 filetype with dot doesn't work for indent plugins
6295 7.1.264 crash when C-indenting
1310 7.1.265 hang when completing file name and space in 'isfname'
2510 7.1.266 version string returned by terminal may be used as typed input
1957 7.1.267 when changing folds cursor may be positioned in a wrong place
1576 7.1.268 always shows "+" at end of screen line with 'cursurline'
6183 7.1.269 matchparen plugin has an arbitrary line number limit
2861 7.1.270 ":?foo?" matches in current line since patch 7.1.025
command line or not -- we want to do what the user specifies via
the pkgsrc PREFER_* settings.
+ Drop dependency on ncurses -- vim only wants a termcap library.
This should fix PR pkg/38110.
+ Add missing dependency on gettext-lib as one of the "normal" feature
sets is to build with gettext and multi-language support.
Bump the PKGREVISION of vim editor packages to 1.
- PKGMANDIR must be created by the package when installing to DESTDIR.
- check-interpreter.mk complained about dangling symlinks to vim.1 when
installing to DESTDIR. Used CHECK_INTERPRETER_SKIP as a workaround.
Use libXpm buildlink3 instead of xpm. Should be no change for
default setup because that points to xpm anyways.
This needed X intrinsic's headers, so also include on libXt/buildlink3.mk.
Also no change as in non-modular pkgsrc usage it will include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead.
Since Vim 6.4 many new features have been added. To mention a few:
- Spell checking support for about 50 languages
- Intelligent completion for C, HTML, Ruby, Python, PHP, etc.
- Tab pages, each containing multiple windows
- Undo branches: never accidentally lose text again
- Vim script supports Lists and Dictionaries (similar to Python)
- Vim script profiling
- Improved Unicode support
- Highlighting of cursor line, cursor column and matching braces
- Translated manual pages support.
- Internal grep; works on all platforms, searches compressed files
- Browsing remote directories, zip and tar archives
- Printing multi-byte text
Once you have installed Vim 7.0 you can find details about the changes
since Vim 6.4 with ":help version7".
