> Could you highlight all the new features (as opposed to bugfixes) in this list so we can properly review whether this is worth the risk of putting it in this late in the cycle?

the "buildable with ruby2.3" was one highlight.

Also, I'm assuming you've done that merge for a reason besides getting a newer and shiny vim, would be nice to describe that too.

no, just needed to forward this to Debian, and the old diff didn't apply cleanly anymore because of the new gtk3 variant.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

Okay, the upstream changelog is kinda hard to parse but after a quick read, the very vast majority of it are bugfixes, additions are mostly to do with syntax highlighting rather than the core. Getting this would also reduce our delta with Debian somewhat and help getting rid of python2, so lets go for it.
