vile source links
On the vile download page: https://www.invisible-island.net/vile/vile.html#download The links for the source downloads: https://www.invisible-island.net/archives/vile/vile.tar.gz https://www.invisible-island.net/datafiles/release/vile.tar.gz These both seem to point to the older 9.8 release instead of 9.8w. Is this intentional? Should I be using another link to access to latest source?
