Yes -- I interpreted the question as porting vim, not MacVim.app specifically. I'm not sure what IPC mechanisms, support for running multiple processes etc. there are in the iPhone SDK (nor whether there would be any point to supporting multiple vim processes on an iPad).

Re: Planning Vim 7.3
Awesome! But why Mercurial? Git seems to be a good choice these days because of its flexibility and a lot of open source projects host their code for free on git hub. I moved my projects over to Git from svn, and despite the initial learning curve (we as vim users know about that), I have really begun to appreciate it.

There have been many patches, but not everybody will use them. It's about time for 7.3! I will try to include a few patches that have been pending for a while. I don't have much time available, thus I will only include things that take a few hours of my time. That basically means patches that are ready to be included. I will check the voting list to see what the most popular features are: http://www.vim.org/sponsor/vote_results.php One thing that I will certainly do is improve the MS-Windows installer. I recently installed Vim on a new laptop and it didn't work very well. More and more people are using Windows 7. I think that taking Window XP as the minimal platform will work well. I hope we can make installing Vim on MS-Windows as simple and reliable as possible. I also plan to drop the split in lang and extra archives. The burden to have several feature sets is no longer justified by the slightly smaller distribution. Putting everything together makes things a lot simpler. Mercurial is going to be the primary method for distribution. I'll drop CVS, it slows me down too much. Someone else might be able to mirror the Mercurial repository in CVS, like it's done for Subversion. I hope to bring out a first beta version by the end of May. That gives everybody time to send me updated and polished patches and runtime files. I need to have these halfway May, I also need some time to integrate everything. It would also be nice if we can update the spell files. Volunteers wanted! See $VIMRUNTIME/spell/README.txt, the MAINTAINING A LANGUAGE section. -- SOLDIER: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?

IIUC, Mozilla uses the same spellfile format as Vim? If that's the case, and if the Mozilla license (which, BTW, is undergoing revision, see among others http://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2010/03/10/updating-the-mozilla-public-license/ ), or whatever other license some of these dictionaries may be using, is found to be compatible with the Vim license, then maybe we could just borrow the desired files from the dictionaries at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/browse/type:3 ?

Re: colorsheme for MacVim and terminal vim (other vim)
Hello Ed, I downloaded the iTerm.app from Sourcforge and installed it. It has the same problem that the terminal has unfortunately :(. The app works fine though. I think it is something more basic that I don't understand about the VIM configuration. Thanks for your suggestion though. iTerm looks like a nice command line program. This stuff works fine on my Linux box but I only run the vim program not the gvim. I am new to Mac so am still learning the details. Bharat -- You received this message from the vim_mac maillist.

E.g., first one, Improved regular expression engine, is still lacking the tests to verify that it doesn't break anything. That's a pity, because it can make syntax highlighting much faster. I want to avoid that I include something that triggers a long sequence of bug fixes. Works fine for me is not always a good indication. 7.3 is going to be a stable release, thus I don't want to take too much risc. Part of my work will be to estimate the risc, which involves carefully looking through the code changes. -- CART DRIVER: Bring out your dead!
