Re: vim9 | how to force legacy vimscript execution

Hum, I got a doubt on my used version of gvim x86 build mingw under Win10.

It seems to be daily updated as described:

This is the code in Tagbar where the error message you previously
mentioned was produced:

if v:version == 700 && !has('patch167')
echohl WarningMsg
echomsg 'Tagbar: Vim versions lower than 7.0.167 have a bug'
\ 'that prevents this version of Tagbar from working.'
\ 'Please use the alternate version posted on the website.'
echohl None
finish
endif

It means you are using Vim 7.0 without patch 7.0.167. That version of
Vim is obsolete. Please upgrade to at least version 8.2 (the current
patchlevel as of this writing is 8.2.3877 AFAIK).

Best regards,
Tony.
