I've updated the version of sed to 4.1.5-2. This is a Cygwin specific patch release.
It reverts the default behaviour of sed back to treating CR/LF as lineendings, in contrast to 4.1.5-1, which only treated the trailing LF as lineending and the preceeding CR as the last character on the line. Or, in other words, we're back to textmode input by default. Since that will break scanning binary input with sed again, I introduced a new option to sed: -b, --binary do not convert DOS to UNIX lineendings (only on systems supporting different lineendings). The new option is also documented when calling `man sed' or `info sed'. The patch has been sent upstream but is not approved yet. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
