8.0 or 7.5 is a bit arbitrary without conventions such as: - major version number increased when breaking backward compatibility (which should be rare) - middle version number increased when adding new features - minor version increased for bug fixes If we were to follow these conventions, then I suppose that the next version would be vim-7.5. But either way is fine with me. Here are some patches that I vote for, for the next version, taken from todo.txt: Patch to add GUI colors to the terminal, when it supports it. (ZyX, 2013 Jan 26, update 2013 Dec 14, another 2014 Nov 22) Patch for variable tabstops. On github (Christian Brabandt, 2014 May 15) Update 2016 Jan 31 (email). Patch to improve equivalence classes in regexp patterns. (Christian Brabandt, 2013 Jan 16, update Jan 17) Regards Dominique -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
