Announcing: Vim (Vi IMproved) version 7.1a BETA
This is a BETA release of Vim 7.1. It consists of Vim 7.0 plus all
patches and updated runtime files.
I expect this to be stable, since the patches have been used by many
people already. This BETA is mainly to check that the files has been
setup properly. It's been almost a year since the last one!
Please report every problem you find! It will only be a few days until
the 7.1 release, so please take a little time right now to check it out.
Once you have installed Vim 7.1a BETA you can find details about the
changes since Vim 7.0 with ":help version-7.1".

Compiles as a breeze :-).
Yes indeed. I've compiled it so far on SunOS 5.8 and HP-UX 10.20.
I may try Cygwin if I'm feeling adventurous enough. I've never done
that except from Cygwin sources.
The binary is now in /usr/local/vim (but we still have /usr/local/vim70 as a
backup); the runtime files go in /usr/local/vim/vim71a and below, where the
binary will find them with no problem (and the 7.0 runtime files in
/usr/local/vim/vim70 [or wherever] aren't touched).
I think some directories were omitted from the paths in that
paragraph and that it should read:
The binary is now in /usr/local/bin/vim (but we still have
/usr/local/bin/vim70 as a backup); the runtime files go in
/usr/local/share/vim/vim71a and below, where the binary will find
them with no problem (and the 7.0 runtime files in

er, yes. I should have reread it once more.
(Warning: In the "ln" command as used here, the target name comes before the
link name. I find this counter-intuitive.)
It's not just me then. I have to think carefully about that every
time I use ln.

Yes. When linking to the same name in a different directory, I find it easier
to omit the link name altogether, as shown for matchit.txt
Best regards,
Tony.
