Subject: Vim version 5.0t BETA available!
Date:	Tue, 23 Dec 97 15:47:08 +0100
From:	Bram Moolenaar <mool@oce.nl>

This is the second BETA version.  Quite a few bugs have been solved.

New functionality: Possibility to jump to several matching tags. ":ta" works
as before, but another ":ta" to the same tag finds the next matching tag (if
there is one).  ":tnext", ":tprevious", etc. can be used to move
forward/backward in the list of matching tags.  See ":help :tnext".

I made quite a few changes to the tags functions.  It's possible that I broke
something.  But I wanted this version to go out before Christmas.  I will not
be in the office until January 5 next year.  If you have serious problems with
the tags functions, you should probably go back to version 5.0s (and report
the problems to me!).

I'll be taking compilation notes for Unix systems.  Look in src/Makefile for
the format of the line.

You can find Vim 5.0t in the usual place:

	ftp://ftp.oce.nl/pub/vim/beta-test/

Or use one of the mirrors (updated within in a couple of days):

	ftp://ftp.oce.nl/pub/vim/MIRRORS

unix/vim-5.0t.tar.gz		Source files for Unix
unix/vim-50s-50t.diff.gz	Idem, diff with version 5.0s
extra/vime-5.0t.tar.gz		Extra files for Unix and others

pc/vim50tsrc.zip		Sources packed for DOS
pc/vim50td16.zip		binary+docs 16 bit DOS
pc/vim50td32.zip		binary+docs 32 bit DOS
pc/vim50tw32.zip		binary+docs 32 bit Windows NT/95
pc/gvim50t.zip			binary+docs Windows NT/95 GUI

amiga/vim50tsrc.tgz		sources packed for Amiga
amiga/vim50tbin.tgz		binary+docs for Amiga

os2/vim50tos2.zip		binary+docs for OS/2

Note that the source archives don't have all the files.  This was done to
reduce their size.  If you want to get all the source files, get both the Unix
and the extra archive.


Changes:

- Reduced wait, to allow reading a message, from 10 to 3 seconds.  It
  seemed nothing was happening.


Added:

- Added: ":tnext", ":tlast", etc. commands: jump to other matching tags.
  Useful when more than one tag matches.  Also added: include matches with
  ignoring case when expanding tag names.

- Added 'mousehide' functionality for Win32 GUI (Moore).

- Added: A few builtin colors for X11, in case the rgb.txt file doesn't
  have these (only the ones that have been reported to be missing).

- Added missing files for BeOS GUI.

- Added: ":highlight clear {group}", as an alternative to ":highlight
  {group} NONE".  More consistant with ":syntax clear {group}".

- Added: Leading context setting for region item: "lc=99" (Bigham).

- Added: hostname() function in expressions. (Moore)


Fixed:

- Many bug fixes.  See src/version.c.

Happy Vimming!
