I agree with Christian, and in addition, if you can (or can learn to)
compile your own Vim (it is not outlandishly difficult, it just takes
a little getting used to), the latest source is available on both a
git repository on github, maintained directly by Bram (see
https://www.vim.org/git.php for info) and a Mercurial repository
maintained by Christian at https://hg.256bit.org/vim mirrorring Bram's
git repository (see https://www.vim.org/mercurial.php for details).

I used to have a pair of HowTo pages, about compiling Vim on Windows
and on Linux (and other Unix-like systems), but my ISP (Belgacom
Skynet aka Proximus) has removed all user sites not maintained by
their own engineers, and I wasn't ready to let other people decide how
my user site should look. I still have HTML backups of this user site
but, alas, they are not available on the Web anymore.

Best regards,
Tony.
