Description

Vim 8.0 is the latest stable version.

The latest version at Hobbes (EMX) is 7.0, which doesn't seem to play well with settings like TERM=os2 (whereas setting TERM to something which works better for Vim 7.0, like os2ansi, comes back as not smart enough for newer things like info).

Sources are in github:

the os/2 code was removed in this commit ​https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/e7fedb6ebe72d9a475aa65109b77d5ed4667067a

I looked at the code and it seems not to difficult to add it again. Some olde changes Need of course some thinking, as done a bit wierd.

we are working on it. So lets see how it long it takes.

comment:4 by Silvan Scherrer, 8 years ago

this port will for sure take a lot longer, as libc lacks of some functions which emx had. So it needs a whole lot more work.

Replying to diver:

terminal stuff I presume? this makes things like ssh a challenge too
