Exactly one year and five days ago the last version of Vim was released and we didn’t see anything since. Today, a brand new version (7.1) got live along with many bugfixes and updated files.

Here’s a fragment from the official announcement:

This is a stable release of Vim, version 7.1. Since version 7.0 lots of
problems were fixed and runtime files were updated. It has been one
year and five days since 7.0!

Most of Vim 7.1 was already available as patches for quite a while. A
couple of test versions were made to spot problems in the distribution.
Therefore Vim 7.1 can be considered very stable.

If you are using an older version, it is highly recommended you install
Vim 7.1. Several crashing bugs and a security issue were fixed.

Once you have installed Vim 7.1 you can find details about the
changes since Vim 7.0 with “:help version-7.1″.

It’s strongly recommended that you upgrade to the latest version. You can do so by visiting the download page.
