Announcing:  Vim (Vi IMproved) version 7.4a BETAThis is the first BETA release of Vim 7.4.Please check that the distribution is OK.  I haven't done one for a long 
time. Report anything that isn't right. That includes a crash but also
a typo in the documentation or a missing file.
The biggest additions since 7.3:
- A new, faster regular expression engine.
- More than a thousand fixes and small improvements.
Once you have installed Vim 7.4a BETA you can find details about the
changes since Vim 7.3 with:
:help version-7.4

Binaries are here:

  • Unix source, runtime files, bzip2
  • Windows executable
