+vim (2:8.0.0022-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ Vim now ships with a defaults.vim file which, when the user has no vimrc,
+ enables some options that have historically been disabled by default. This
+ is described in more detail at ":help defaults.vim".
+
+ Since defaults.vim is loaded when the user's vimrc would typically be
+ loaded, it will override any settings in /etc/vim/vimrc(.local). In order
+ to disable the loading of defaults.vim, add
+
+ let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1
+
+ to /etc/vim/vimrc(.local).

+vim (2:7.4.2330-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ The Python language bindings have been switched from python2 to python3.
+ If you have plugins/addons that use Python, they may need to be updated to
+ support python3.
+
+ Similarly, python3 specific packages may need to be installed to re-enable
+ plugins (e.g., python-powerline is replaced by python3-powerline) or plugin
+ features.

+vim (2:7.3.154+hg~74503f6ee649-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ The vim-lesstif package has been removed in favor of the new vim-athena
+ package. The intent behind both packages is to provide a lighter-weight GUI
+ package as well as one that allows using XFLD fonts. The Athena toolkit,
+ however, has broader usage and reduces divergences with downstream
+ distributions.

+
+vim (2:7.2c.000-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ The autoindent option is no longer enabled by default because:
+ - 'autoindent' is rather naïve and turning on filetype-specific indentation
+ (via "filetype indent on") is usually a better choice.
+ - not having any automatic indenting enabled by default prevents new users
+ from encountering the bad indentation issue when pasting text.
+
+ Filetype plugins are no longer enabled by default because certain actions
+ (like preventing the loading of the default menus) *must* occur before
+ filetype detection is enabled. By enabling filetype plugins (and detection)
+ in debian.vim, we are preventing the user from being able to make changes to
+ Vim's behavior. Filetype plugins can be re-enabled via
+ "filetype plugin on".

+
+vim (1:7.1.285-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ Due to popular demand (and general conformity with other filetype plugins),
+ the debchangelog and debcontrol filetype plugins no longer enable folding by
+ default. If you wish to enable their folding, you can add the following
+ commands to your ~/.vimrc for debchangelog and debcontrol, respectively:
+
+ let g:debchangelog_fold_enable = 1
+ let g:debcontrol_fold_enable = 1

+
+vim (1:7.1-022+1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * /usr/share/vim/addons/ is no longer in the vim runtimepath
+
+ This is intended to avoid arbitrarly clashes among addons installed
+ system-wide and enabled by default, and to set up a common ground for Vim
+ extensions of various kinds. From now on vim addons won't be enabled by
+ default upon installation but will need to be enabled on a per-addon basis
+ either in a system-wide manner (affecting all users of the system) or by
+ each user who wants to use them. A tool exists for helping with addon
+ management: it is called "vim-addons" and is shipped by the package
+ "vim-addon-manager"; all vim addon packages should recommend it.
+
+ For more information see the VIM packaging policy (available on the web at
+ http://pkg-vim.alioth.debian.org/vim-policy.html/index.html) and the
+ manual page of vim-addons, available in the vim-addon-manager package.
