* many (usually hundreds) of bugs from any earlier releases have been<BR>
fixed if one is using an earlier release<BR>
* applying patches fixes yet more bugs (currently there are 170 patches<BR>
to vim 7.1) (admittedly, I didn't specify how to apply patches)<BR>
* runtime files have been updated (generally to fix bugs)<BR>
* there are options associated with the configure, such as whether to<BR>
have ruby, perl, cscope, Sun workshop, etc support compiled in (see<BR>
configure --help for the list)<BR>
* if one wants support for vim, there's an active mailing list for it<BR>
with many knowledgable folks, including vim's author (see<BR>
<A HREF="http://vim.sf.net/">http://vim.sf.net/</A> for details)<BR>
