[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: vim-7.3.003-1


I have updated the version of vim on cygwin.com to 7.3.003-1.

This is an update to the new upstream version 7.3, including the
first three patchsets.  Cygwin Vim builds from the vanilla sources.

The official release message:

=======================================================================
Hello Vim users,


Announcing:  Vim (Vi IMproved) version 7.3


This is a minor release of Vim.  It consists of Vim 7.2 plus all
patches, updated runtime files and some more, see below.  It has been
two years since the 7.2 release, thus it's not that "minor".  But not
"major" either.  Something in between, don't know how to call that.

The most notable additions since 7.2:
- Persistent undo and undo for reload
- Blowfish encryption, encryption of the swap file
- Conceal text
- Lua interface
- Python 3 interface

Once you have installed Vim 7.3 you can find all the details about the
changes since Vim 7.2 with:
        :help version-7.3

Reporting bugs
--------------

Send them to <vim-dev@vim.org>.  Please describe the problem precisely.
All the time spent on answering mail is subtracted from the time that is
spent on improving Vim!  Always give a reproducible example and try to
find out which settings or other things influence the appearance of the
bug.  Try starting without your own vimrc file: "vim -u NONE".  Try
different machines if possible.  See ":help bugs" in Vim.  Send me a
patch if you can!


Happy Vimming!
