It is a classic member of the vi-clone/editor-wars era rather than a modern greenfield editor. ### Projektgeschichte vile began with Paul Fox, who built it from an early public-domain version of MicroEmacs. Thomas E. Dickey's FAQ says he started working on vile in late 1992 after using vi for years and needing better multi-file editing. Kevin Buettner joined early in 1994, working on the X Windows driver and later Perl integration, and Rick Sladkey arrived in 1995 with Windows and DJGPP work. The project was already public in the early 1990s: Paul Fox's alt.sources posting of June 7, 1991 was version three, and the FAQ notes that vile supported multiple windows and multiple buffers from the start. That made it historically notable among vi-like editors because vi itself had only limited buffer behavior, while later vi clones such as nvi, Vim, and Elvis were still adding split-window features in the mid-1990s. Maintenance later centered on Thomas Dickey's Invisible Island site, which provides the main project page, FAQ, help, change log, archives, and related resources. The change log marks vile 9.8 as released on August 8, 2010, with continued lettered maintenance releases after that in downstream package systems and snapshots. ### Adoptionsgeschichte vile's adoption is mostly historical and specialist: it has appeared in Unix editor surveys, package repositories, and vi-learning literature. Wikipedia-style summaries and O'Reilly-era references note that vile 8.0 appeared in Learning the vi Editor and vile 9.6 appeared in Learning the vi and Vim Editors, which helped document it for users comparing vi-family editors. ### Wie es verwendet wird vile is used by people who want vi commands and muscle memory but also want features traditionally associated with Emacs-like editors: multiple buffers and windows, key rebinding, modes, extensive help, syntax filters, X11 and Windows variants, and scripting or integration hooks. It is usually chosen deliberately by vi-family enthusiasts rather than encountered as a default system editor. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren For package history, vile is significant because it preserves an alternate branch of vi-clone evolution. Its lineage runs through MicroEmacs, early 1990s Usenet source distribution, X11 and Windows ports, Perl hooks, and long maintenance by Thomas Dickey, making it more of a living historical artifact than a mainstream editor contender. ### Zeitleiste - 1991-06-07: Paul Fox posts vile version three to alt.sources, according to the project FAQ. - Late 1992: Thomas Dickey begins working on vile. - 1994: Kevin Buettner joins and changes the X Windows driver, later implementing the Perl interface. - 1995: Rick Sladkey contributes Windows and DJGPP work. - 2010-08-08: vile 9.8 is released, with work including UTF-8 improvements and generated documentation. ### Related projects - vile is related to MicroEmacs through its code ancestry and to vi clones such as nvi, Vim, and Elvis through shared 1990s discussions about multiple buffers and windows. Its graphical and platform variants are commonly referred to as xvile for X11 and winvile for Windows. ### Quellen - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise Für vile wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
