Hi,

A new version of VimMate is now available: Version 0.6.5

VimMate is a graphical add-on to Vim with IDE-like features: it does more  
than the plain Vim while still being lightweight. Even with the additional  
features, it stays out of the way for it's main task: editing files with  
Vim. VimMate adds functionality to Vim by embedding Vim GTK GUI (gVim)  
within VimMate.

See [http://vimmate.rubyforge.org/](http://vimmate.rubyforge.org/) for more information.

Changes in version 0.6.5:

- VimMate could crash when VTE was not present  
- Changed some shortcut keys  
- Add a new option to hide the file status (#13210)

See [http://vimmate.rubyforge.org/](http://vimmate.rubyforge.org/) for more information.

Comments will be greatly appreciated. If you find any bugs or if you have  
suggestions, please use the tracker on Rubyforge:
