You can see what you'd be getting if you upgraded, here:

ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/README

There are a few really nice goodies in there, plus some easy-to-get
errors which have been fixed.

Also, if you upgrade, you'd be getting an all-new set of runtime
files, including improved syntax highlighting, better TOhtml
conversion, bugfixes in the netrw plugin (used to "edit" directories
on local or remote systems, or files on remote systems via FTP or
other protocols), and much more.
