Patches for Vim - Vi IMproved The files in this directory contain source code changes to fix problems in released versions of Vim. Each file also contains an explanation of the problem that is fixed, like the message that was sent to the vim-dev maillist. The best is to apply the patches in sequence. This avoids problems when a patch depends on a previous patch. If you did not unpack the extra archive, you may want to skip patches marked with "extra:". Similarly for the "lang" archive. After applying a patch, you need to compile Vim. There are no patches for binaries. See the README file for a short description of each patch.
