I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ed 1.22.3.

GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell scripts. A restricted version of ed, red, can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands. Ed is the 'standard' text editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely available. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen editors.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ed/ed.html

The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ed/

The sha256sum is:
47a55ddfc52d4a1ff6f7559fbd00cf948a16b6cf151ec520392761aeae4e97be ed-1.22.3.tar.lz

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending '.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run one of these commands to import it:

  gpg --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742
  wget http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu-keyring.gpg

Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739  FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742


Changes in version 1.22.3:

* The change to print the file name escaped when replaced into a shell command has been reverted. (Reported by Sören Tempel).

* When '--unsafe-names' is not specified, only the control characters \a, \b, \t, \v, \f, \n, \r, \033, and \177 are now rejected in file names.

* 'make check' now checks file names with non-ASCII characters coded either in ISO-8859-1 or in UTF-8.

  * 'EXIT STATUS' now has its own section in the man page.
