I am pleased to announce the release of GNU sed 4.2.2. The latest release has the following bug fixes and new features:
* don't misbehave (truncate input) for lines of length 2^31 and longer * fix endless loop on incomplete multibyte sequences * -u also does unbuffered input, rather than unbuffered output only * New command `F' to print current input file name * sed -i, s///w, and the `w' and `W' commands also obey the --binary option (and create CR/LF-terminated files if the option is absent) * --posix fails for scripts (or fragments as passed to the -e option) that end in a backslash, as they are not portable. * New option -z (--null-data) to separate lines by ASCII NUL characters. * \x26 (and similar escaped sequences) produces a literal & in the replacement argument of the s/// command, rather than including the matched text.
