I would call Vim a "rolling release" product. Version numbers are
increased when a significant new feature has been added and a little
tested, but bugfixes and enhancements are indeed published about every
day.

As of this writing, the latest version is 8.0.1520. You may or may not
find a precompiled version of it for your OS, otherwise see:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm
(compilling Vim on Windows)
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm
(compiling Vim on unix-like systems)

Once you have a recent Vim up and running, see ":help version8.txt"
for the release notes. The list of patches in that helpfile goes only
up to 8.0.0586 at the moment, though. For a full but terse list, see
http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/8.0/

Best regards,
Tony.
