sort of (the versioning with letter suffixes seems to be acceptable to
everyone -- though I recall quite a while ago a packager refusing to
do anything with vile unless it ended ".0" -- and I've seen no real
need recently for a "stable release").

"current" is where you should look:

https://invisible-island.net/datafiles/current/vile.tar.gz
https://invisible-island.net/archives/vile/current/vile.tar.gz
https://invisible-island.net/archives/vile/current/
