Vim 8 pre-announcement

Hello Vim users,

Work on Vim 8.0 is coming close to an end. I hope version 8.0 can be
released in about two weeks.

This is a last chance to modify new features in a way that is not
backwards compatible. Once 8.0 is out we can't make changes that would
break plugins.

An overview of new features can be found in:
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/doc/version8.txt
A version with links (but a day older):
http://vimhelp.appspot.com/version8.txt.html

Please review the new features, try them out and report what should be
changed on the vim-dev maillist. Of course you should also report bugs
you find.

Happy Vimming!


PS. If you are interested in meeting Vim users: Vimfest is happening in
Berlin Sept. 16-18. http://vimfest.org
