gVim Portable 7.3 has been released by PortableApps.com. gVim Portable is a feature-rich and not-too-hard-to-use text editor packaged as a portable app, and a very feature rich one at that. With gVim you can code, highlight syntax, and do everything else you would expect of a text editor worth its weight in megabytes. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Suite. And it's open source and completely free.
PortableApps.com Platform 2.0 Beta 5 users who already have this app installed, simply click 'Check for Updates' in your PA.c Menu to update to the new version.
Features
Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems.
Vim is often called a "programmer's editor," and so useful for programming that many consider it an entire IDE. It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editing, from composing email to editing configuration files.
Vim can be configured to work in a very simple (Notepad-like) way, called evim or Easy Vim.
PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format
gVim Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

portable vim with python, perl and ruby?
Hi,
thanks for packaging portable vim, I actually install vim in any machine I can,
but something I have not been able to configure properly is ruby.
Would it be possible to package a portable version of vim with ruby, python and perl associated with the portable package?
Thanks.
Same as normal gVim
These things should be configured in just the same way as with the normal gVim build. See
:help +rubyand:help ruby-dynamicfor info for Ruby, etc.Thanks for the reply. What I
Thanks for the reply. What I actually meant was if it was possible for you to package vim with those libraries all in a portable format.
I actually was able to compile it with these features in linux but I would like to able to use vim with ruby from this website.
Thanks.
Copy, not rebuild
You should only need to copy in the DLLs, not rebuild it all.
I have no plans to release a version with all of those features in as Bram does not with Vim.
