            *** Cream (for Vim) Version 0.31 Released ***

The Cream (for Vim) project (http://cream.sourceforge.net) has
released the latest version of an easy-to-use configuration for Vim.
Cream configures the famous and free Vim text editor so that it is
simple to use for those of us familiar with Apple or Windows platform
software. Through intuitive menus, keyboard shortcuts, and extensive
editing functions, Cream makes Vim approachable for new users and adds
powerful features for experienced users on both Windows and Linux.


RELEASE SUMMARY

This major release features a re-worked spell check loader and greatly
enhanced German, French and Spanish dictionaries to provide a better
scale of speed vs. words checked. NOTE: If you have ever downloaded
supplemental spell check dictionaries, you will need to upgrade them
with the new ones on the site.

Other refinements include better user profiling on Windows, more
keymap options, horizontal scrollbar when text is wrapped, a new
filename stamp add-on, improvements to word counting, installation
script polishes, and many bug fixes. 


MAJOR FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

o New version of the spell check. Now accommodates new languages
  automatically.
o Re-worked German, French, and Spanish spell check dictionaries to
  include a broader range of sizes to option speed or completeness.
o User settings now saved in personal profile folder on later versions
  of Windows rather than in the root of C:. Note that if were affected
  by this improvement and your settings appear to have been lost, you
  should simply copy your preferences from folder "C:\.cream" to
  "C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\.cream".


MINOR FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

o Added mapping (Ctrl+Alt+PageUp/Down) to go to the middle of the
  screen.
o Fixed Word Count and added highlighting of word counted when
  Highlight Find is on.
o Added a new Stamp Filename add-on with a functionality that

ADVANCED FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS

o Keymap options greatly extended to 39 different settings.
o Improvements to bash shell (Linux/Unix) installation script.
o Improved debugging information collection on startup.
o Refined date/time insertion to include compressed ISO format. Added
  additional menu item and moved them all to a submenu.
o Improved timezone calculations.
o Developer menu is now dynamic and can (optionally) be directed to
  any path.
o Added Cream support for the Lisp file type.
o Improved completion templates for future extensibility. Some
  templates were also polished.


Additional changes are available on the ChangeLog page at the website.
