Vi in Leopard

I read last night in MacWorld that Leopard included a new version of vi.

Is there a list somewhere of the changes? I use vi a lot.

Vi in Leopard is a symbolic link to vim. Check out welcome home : vim online.

Gale, would using vi possibly help with finding a solution for hiding the primary login account in OS X (10.5)? It's the new OS from Apple, called Leopard. Just curious.

You may also want to get the latest Vim from Mac Vim (Again).

Google code has also released a stable version of Vim 7 (GUI) which is quite slick, altho I seem to find it slower than the gvim available from Mac Vim (Again).
