Progress on Vim 6.3

I started with a list of 130 problems reported over the past year.  I
currently have 22 to do.  I also managed to fix problems as soon as they
were reported, thus the list is only getting shorter.  We are getting
much closer to a 6.3 release!

If you have a specific problem that should be fixed for 6.3, please
report it now.  Don't try suggesting new features, bug fixing still has
priority.


Vim sponsoring and registration

Upon request I have added the possibility to subscribe to Vim sponsoring
or registration.  This means you can donate a (small) amount every
month, quarter, year or other period automatically.  This works through
PayPal.

	 http://www.vim.org/sponsor/subscribe.php

The sponsoring is going well.  I am considering making plans for Vim 7
that involve quite a bit of work.

Will the moderator or the leader of this mailing list do something about
the junk messages being delivered to the vim-mac mailing list?

I get several messages per day that have nothing but this in the body:

"Your file is attached".
"Here is the file."
"greetings"
"Your document."

Of course there is no file attached, probably because it was deleted by
anti-virus software at our end.

Is this a known problem at vim-mac ?

Not to long ago it was sufficient to close the list for non-subscribers.
But now that worms/viruses/spammers use existing but false "from"
addresses we occasionally get these messages.

Various solutions have been suggested.  The maillist administrator is
looking into what solution is possible (we don't own the server).

This is a generic problem with maillists, thus hopefully we can use a
generic solution.
