Many new features + have been added: multi-level undo, syntax highlighting, command line history, + on-line help, spell checking, filename completion, block operations, etc. + There is also a Graphical User Interface (GUI) available. See + `runtime/doc/vi_diff.txt` for differences with Vi. + + This editor is very useful for editing programs and other plain text files. + All commands are given with normal keyboard characters, so those who can type + with ten fingers can work very fast. Additionally, function keys can be + defined by the user, and the mouse can be used. + + Vim runs under Amiga DOS, MS-DOS, MS-Windows (95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, + 7), Atari MiNT, Macintosh, BeOS, VMS, RISC OS, OS/2 and almost all flavours of + UNIX. Porting to other systems should not be very difficult. + + + ## Distribution ## + + There are separate distributions for Unix, PC, Amiga and some other systems. + This `README.md` file comes with the runtime archive. It includes the + documentation, syntax files and other files that are used at runtime. To run + Vim you must get either one of the binary archives or a source archive. + Which one you need depends on the system you want to run it on and whether you + want or must compile it yourself. Check http://www.vim.org/download.php for + an overview of currently available distributions. + + + ## Documentation ## + + The vim tutor is a one hour training course for beginners. Mostly it can be + started as `vimtutor`. See `:help tutor` for more information. + + The best is to use `:help` in Vim. If you don't have an executable yet, read + `runtime/doc/help.txt`. It contains pointers to the other documentation + files. The User Manual reads like a book and is recommended to learn to use + Vim. See `:help user-manual`. + + + ## Copying ## + + Vim is Charityware. You can use and copy it as much as you like, but you are + encouraged to make a donation to help orphans in Uganda. Please read the file + `runtime/doc/uganda.txt` for details (do `:help uganda` inside Vim). + + Summary of the license: There are no restrictions on using or distributing an + unmodified copy of Vim. Parts of Vim may also be distributed, but the license + text must always be included. For modified versions a few restrictions apply. + The license is GPL compatible, you may compile Vim with GPL libraries and + distribute it. + + + ## Sponsoring ## + + Fixing bugs and adding new features takes a lot of time and effort. To show + your appreciation for the work and motivate Bram and others to continue + working on Vim please send a donation. + + Since Bram is back to a paid job the money will now be used to help children + in Uganda. See `runtime/doc/uganda.txt`. But at the same time donations + increase Bram's motivation to keep working on Vim! + + For the most recent information about sponsoring look on the Vim web site: + http://www.vim.org/sponsor/ + + + ## Compiling ## + + If you obtained a binary distribution you don't need to compile Vim. If you + obtained a source distribution, all the stuff for compiling Vim is in the + `src` directory. See `src/INSTALL` for instructions. + + + ## Installation ## + + See one of these files for system-specific instructions: + + README_ami.txt Amiga + README_unix.txt Unix + README_dos.txt MS-DOS and MS-Windows + README_os2.txt OS/2 + README_mac.txt Macintosh + README_vms.txt VMS + + There are more `README_*.txt` files, depending on the distribution you used. + + + ## Information ## + + The latest news about Vim can be found on the Vim home page: + http://www.vim.org/ + + If you have problems, have a look at the Vim documentation or tips: + http://www.vim.org/docs.php + http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vim_Tips_Wiki + + If you still have problems or any other questions, use one of the mailing + lists to discuss them with Vim users and developers: + http://www.vim.org/maillist.php + + If nothing else works, report bugs directly: + Bram Moolenaar + + + ## Main author ## + + Send any other comments, patches, flowers and suggestions to: + Bram Moolenaar *** ../vim-7.4.776/src/version.c 2015-07-10 19:16:27.302493581 +0200 --- src/version.c 2015-07-10 19:20:17.560320543 +0200 *************** *** 743,744 **** --- 743,746 ---- { /* Add new patch number below this line */ + /**/ + 777, /**/ -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 203.
