Vim 7.2 Released 106

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday February 10, 2009 @04:39PM from the vigor-too dept.

sanguisdex writes "After fifteen months of work: a brand new Vim release! This is a stable version. There are many bug fixes and updated runtime files. The only new feature worth mentioning is support for floating point. Upgrading from a previous version is highly recommended: a few crashing bugs and several security issues were fixed. For the details see the announcement or go directly to the download page."

We can agree on that. Xapian (setup correctly) can be blazingly fast with loads of data. The python bindings (basically having access to the xapian API) don't add much weight in my experience.

Xapian is C++ (with plenty of bindings for a lot of languages -- including python)

Nice going for Lucene (LGPL?), although i've preferred Xapian (GPL) in the past (with python bindings).

Good to have choice, i guess.

I don't think companies could pull that so easily in most of Europe (for the moment, due to privacy legislation)...

In my country, you're even doing illegal stuff if you're taking a picture of someone out on the street without their permission...

I've been using Roundup Tracker http://roundup.sourceforge.net/ at work for a while, and it's been a great experience. Stable, fast, and very easy to mod/customize to your own needs or preferences (it's written in python).

An live example of the web interface of a roundup tracker can be seen online at http://bugs.python.org/
