Yes, you are correct these are the "official" sources. However, Bram
mostly only releases an installer for base version updates, e.g. 7.1,
7.2, 7.3... and only in rare circumstances does he ever release an
installer for the many patches generated between versions. Currently
the latest installer available from vim.org is one of those rare
circumstances, and includes patches up to number 46. There are now 364
patches available.

As a service, Steve Hall, the maintainer of the "Cream" project which
transforms Vim into a point-and-click editor, also releases installers
for fully patched Vim with all the latest runtime files, WITHOUT his
Cream config. This is the link I gave above. It's not official, but
it's pretty darn close, and is the de facto standard place to grab an
up-to-date Vim installer.
