GNU ed 1.20 released
I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ed 1.20. 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 For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen editors such as GNU Emacs or GNU Moe. The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ed/ed.html The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ed/ http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ed/ or from your favorite GNU mirror. The sha256sum is: c6030defe6ae172f1687906d7354054c75a6a9130af319d4e73c50a91959c5a6 ed-1.20.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 this command to import it: gpg --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742 Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739 FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742 Changes in version 1.20: * New command-line options '+line', '+/RE', and '+?RE' have been implemented to set the current line to the line number specified or to the first or last line matching the regular expression 'RE'. (Suggested by Matthew Polk and John Cowan). * File names containing control characters 1 to 31 are now rejected unless they are allowed with the command-line option '--unsafe-names'. * File names containing control characters 1 to 31 are now printed using octal escape sequences. * Ed now rejects file names ending with a slash. * Intervening commands that don't set the modified flag no longer make a second 'e' or 'q' command fail with a 'buffer modified' warning. * Tilde expansion is now performed on file names supplied to commands; if a file name starts with '~/', the tilde (~) is expanded to the contents of the variable HOME. (Suggested by John Cowan). * Ed now warns the first time that a command modifies a buffer loaded from a read-only file. (Suggested by Dan Jacobson). * Ed now creates missing parent directories when writing to a file. * It has been documented that 'e' creates an empty buffer if file does not exist. * It has been documented that 'f' sets the default filename, whether or not its argument names an existing file. * The description of the exit status has been improved in '--help' and in the manual. * The variable MAKEINFO has been added to configure and Makefile.in. * It has been documented in INSTALL that when choosing a C standard, the POSIX features need to be enabled explicitly: ./configure CFLAGS+='--std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=2' Please send bug reports and suggestions to bug...@gnu.org Regards, Antonio Diaz, GNU ed maintainer. -- If you are using gzip, bzip2, or xz, please consider the long-term advantages of switching to lzip: http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip_benchmark.html http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/manual/lzip_manual.html#Quality-assurance http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/safety_of_the_lzip_format.html
GNU moe 1.14 released
I am pleased to announce the release of GNU moe 1.14. GNU moe is a console text editor for ISO-8859 and ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly interface, online help, multiple windows, global search/replace (on all buffers at once), block operations, automatic indentation, word wrapping, file name completion, directory browser, duplicate removal from prompt histories, delimiter matching, text conversion from/to UTF-8, romanization, etc. The file size, line length, number of buffers, and undo/redo capability are only limited by the amount of memory available and the size of the address space of your machine. Moe respects your work. By default it won't automatically add, change, or remove a single byte in your files. Moe is a WYTIWYG (what you type is what you get) editor. Moe can easily edit thousands of files at the same time. The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/moe/moe.html The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/moe/ http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/moe/ or from your favorite GNU mirror.
