#12It's pretty cool that vim has had the same lead developer running the project for nearly 20 years. It's also pretty cool how he asks for donations to be sent to nonprofits instead of himself. I know this is irrelevant to the new release, but I think it's great that he still keeps it going after 20 years without any monetary gain (at least directly from the project).
Agreed. It shouldn't surprise me, but it still does every time Vim has a new release.
What's more, it's awesome that new releases still bring new functionality to the table.

#13Persistent undo/redo FTMFW
In case you didn't know, Vim already had undo "trees". My mind was BLOWN when I discovered this: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/usr_32.html --
Never again accidentally lose work by accidentally breaking your redo change!
The online docs are still 7.2, so I had to dig into the source for a link to the new persistent undo/redo docs (search for "undo-persistence"):

Where the money goes depends on whether he has a job or not. Currently he works at Google, so it goes to a non-profit, but it has gone to him in the past.

This is not a dis against Vim (I use both), but if any Emacs users are reading this and think "cool!": http://www.dr-qubit.org/undo-tree/undo-tree.el

#16Can't wait for the MacVim to move to 7.3
My MacVim auto-updated to 7.3 when I launched it. :-) I like the incremental improvements to things in this release. Kudos to Bram (and Bjorn for the Mac build).
How did you achieve that? Mine didn't, and doing "Check for updates" in the MacVim says I'm already at the latest version. I'm at "7.2 stable 1.2/33.3".

Try ending the actual process and then relaunching with your browser of choice open as well (I was having the same problem too)

I did, but to no avail.
