commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/1c39102666d2ccb998059bd7ada2d2efa31a11bc Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Sun Feb 28 18:04:00 2016 +0100 patch 7.4.1450 Problem: Json encoding still fails when encoding is not utf-8. Solution: Set 'encoding' before :scriptencoding. Run the json test separately to avoid affecting other tests.

The source archive contains the files needed to compile Vim on Unix systems.
It is packed for Unix systems (NL line separator).

For more information, see the README.txt file that comes with the runtime
archive (vim-7.4-rt.tar.gz).  To be able to run Vim you MUST get the runtime
archive too!
