        Vim-history

-----------

This repository contains the old source code of Vim. It basically consists of two parts:

* Source Commits from the old [CVS repository][1] at the [sourceforge project page][3]  

  This contains the history for the releases 5.5 to 6.4 and have been created by using `git cvsimport` (see [documentation][4]).

* Commits for the even older releases from releases 1.14 until 5.5  

  Those commits have been created from the tarballs at the Vim FTP site:

  *   

    (v1.14 - v2.8, v4.0 - v4.5)

  *   

    (v3.0, v4.6, v5.0 - v5.5)

  Those older commits are not the TRUE history.

  (E.g. commit dates are faked. They are based on the dates from `src/version.c` or `src/version.h`.)

Initially those two parts were two separate repositories. However they have been merged into a single repository using

```bash

git replace --graft 686757e4d2a46c8ab55c08c7a0ccd 8f6182bf9f905bfac0fee

```

Release History

---------------

The following table summarizes the previous release dates according to several sources.

Data has been taken from the

 * [Vim FAQ][8]  

 * a youtube video of [Brams presentation on Vim][1] (1:37)  

 * Wikipedia article on [Vim][2]

 * Date of the release tags in the CVS repository (now available in the [vim-ancient repository][4])  

 * Date of the release tag in the current [Vim repository][3]

 * Announcements in the mailinglist [vim-announce][5]

\[1\]: I think it is an error in the wikipedia page and very unlikely, that Vim 5.2 was released just 20 days after 5.1
