I think, within minor versions, Bram concentrates on bug fixing. Most of those patches were small enough and they only affect a specific feature so their impact on other features is usually small enough. (for example concealing, which was introduced with Vim 7.3 introduced many bugs that popped out somewhere else, so several patches for version 7.3 fixed an issue with concealing). New features are introduced with a new major/minor version, I don't know if and when Bram considers merging new features into a Vim 8 or 7.4 Personally I'd also like to see the breakindent or variable tabstop patch being included, nevertheless I don't think it is a problem to built your own patched version of Vim. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
