By "often" I mean, "often the changes to a runtime file are due to new features in Vim", not "often changes in Vim drive changes to runtime files". As you point out, this thread was started because something was added to the Vim code and the runtime file is finally getting updated for it. While this particular file isn't a good example because it took so long to implement, it would be nice to know from the branch history in Mercurial what version of Vim will definitely work with the runtime file in question. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
