10 I've just released a new version (20040901). Changes include:
11
12 * Support for Gentoo ChangeLogs (see [1] for an example, top is default
13 vim behaviour, bottom is new behaviour)
14 * Better GLEP syntax
15 * Better error highlighting
16 * Some new eclasses on the supported list
17
18 Help is available in vim via :help gentoo-syntax .

20 Feedback would be much appreciated, especially since I'm trying to
21 persuade devrel to mention this package in the docs [2] in place of
22 their existing horridly broke setup.
23
24 If it doesn't work straight off, try re-emerging vim-core and running
25 etc-update.
