Cheers, Nikola For Windows, Steve Hall's download page https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721 has a number of different patchlevels of 7.0, with a link to "older releases" at the bottom. Or you can get source distributions (going back as far as 3.0) in .tar.bz2 format from http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/unix/ with additional (non-unix and/or non-en-US) files going back to 5.0 (extra) and 6.0 (lang) in .tar.gz format at http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/extra/ . As explained in http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm and http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm , I recommend downloading the full (unix+extra+lang) sources regardless of whether or not you're on Unix, whether or not you want English messages and menus. Note that from time to time, bugs have been identified (and fixed) in the test suite too, see the patch descriptions in http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/ and its subdirectories. Best regards, Tony.

Nikola Install the sources, see (W32) http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm (U*x) http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm compile Vim, then run "make test". I don't know if it works on Windows. What is your problem? After I compile Vim, if src/vim --version |more (on Unix-like systems) or src\vim --version |more (on Dos-like systems) src\gvim :version :q can be run, and shows the correct version, the correct featureset (Normal, Big, Huge, etc.), and the +features dear to me, I usually regard the build as correct (until or unless I come aross a bug), and I "install" the result of the compile to where it will have to run (after closing any Vim process). You may also want to redirect the output from the (compile) make to a logfile and examine that at leisure. Some warnings are unavoidable, like those for (IIRC) the Perl and Python interfaces. The current release/patchlevel is 7.0.178. Best regards, Tony.
