Updated to Vim 9.2.0321

Vim 9.2 was released in February 2026! See announcement. This update syncs up to Vim 9.2, which also contains important security fixes.

This release note does not come with the normal "New Vim Features" section. The next MacVim release will cover both releases to highlight new Vim features.

Security Fixes

There were numerous security fixes in Vim itself between the last release (9.1.1887) and 9.2.0321. Below are some some high severity ones that were fixed in the latest release:

• CVE-2025-66476
• CVE-2026-34714
• CVE-2026-34982

General

• Sparkle (updater for MacVim) is now updated to 2.9.1. The updater will now also verify that the update feed is cryptographically signed. Sparkle 2.9.1 #1637 Force Sparkle updater to always verify update and to use signed appcast #1638
• Binary release is now built using GNU iconv instead of the system built-in iconv. This slightly increases binary size, but makes MacVim work more consistently when dealing with non-Unicode files (e.g. JIS). Build MacVim binary release with GNU iconv instead of Apple iconv #1626

Fixes

• What's New page will no longer leave behind unnecessary persistent files in ~/Library Whats New page use non-persistent data store #1619

  • Ruby is now built against 4.0, up from 3.4.
