Please check you actually execute the right Vim program. You may have
several in your search path. Use ":version" to check. For me the
.viminfo file definitely says 9.0.

This is probably false alarm. For some reason there was file .viminfo that now I see it was last modified 2021-10-28 and this file has info "Vim 8.2", but now I see I also have _viminfo file that has current date. I closed down Vim, deleted both files, opened vim v9, edited some file and closed vim again. Now I see _viminfo file was created with correct "9.0" info in comment, but no more .viminfo. It may be that .viminfo for some reason existed in vim 8.2 or something...
