Yes, you are correct these are the "official" sources. However, Bram mostly only releases an installer for base version updates, e.g. 7.1, 7.2, 7.3... and only in rare circumstances does he ever release an installer for the many patches generated between versions. Currently the latest installer available from vim.org is one of those rare circumstances, and includes patches up to number 46. There are now 364 patches available. As a service, Steve Hall, the maintainer of the "Cream" project which transforms Vim into a point-and-click editor, also releases installers for fully patched Vim with all the latest runtime files, WITHOUT his Cream config. This is the link I gave above. It's not official, but it's pretty darn close, and is the de facto standard place to grab an up-to-date Vim installer. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
