In a new Linux system installation I'm presented a Vim 9 version.
It seems to be completely incompatible with the various releases
that I used before.

When I was looking on the net for some older release I got always
directed to version 9, though. (I'm obviously missing something?)

Can someone provide a link to some Vim release where modelines and
all the other things work as in former (pre-Lua or whatever) times?
Some source code tar-ball would be okay. - Thanks.

Or is there some other simple way to make Vim 9 behave like earlier
versions concerning the configuration files and user settings?

Janis

PS: How did other Vim users perceive those changes in Vim releases?
(I'm just curious.)
