I have updated the version of vim for Cygwin 1.7 to 7.2.264-1. This is an update to the latest upstream patchlevel 264. Cygwin Vim builds from the vanilla sources.
This version also starts using the alternatives system, together with the gvim package. The non-graphical vim executable is now called "vim-nox", and the various symlinks, including "vim" point to vim-nox by default. If you also install the upcoming gvim-7.2.264-1 package, or just the gvim package alone, all the symlinks except "vi" and "ex" will point to gvim. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
