Hi,

A new version of VimMate is now available: Version 0.6.6

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 0.6.6:

- Correctly set the focus to Vim when opening files (#15198)
- Add option to start with a login shell (#14387)
- Hide empty directories when filtering (#14886)

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:
