9.0.0 is the current stable version of vim: https://www.vim.org

For OpenVMS ports (and while the server is accessible), fetch 8.2.222 
from http://polarhome.com/vim/

8.x fixed various issues I'd had with 7.x.

Test your vim issues and errors with 8.2.222 or 9.0.0, and then log 
some bug reports.

PolarHome was shutting down many (most) of their activities, so I'm not 
sure of the status of that server, and it may well be up or down...

"2022.01.03 polarhome R.I.P - this is the end of 22 years long 
open-shell journey... with total of more than 200k users on 40+ 
servers. The main reason is the lack of interest - both from the 
administrators and users' side as well. It costs a lot to run an 
environment like this in maintaince hours, hardware and eletricity... 
the demand and offer ratio does not justify the existence.  The system 
will be up from time to time to help open source development - but it 
is closed to the public."

I'm not aware of a new residence for a port of vim to OpenVMS.
