For example; "cmp 'none of' /etc/passwd" now might output "cmp: EOF on ‘none of’ which is empty" instead of outputting "cmp: EOF on none of which is empty". In diagnostic messages that traditionally omit quotes and where backward compatibility seems to be important, programs continue to omit quotes unless a file name contains shell metacharacters, in which case programs use shell quoting. For example, although diff continues to output "Only in a: b" as before for most file names, it now outputs "Only in 'a: b': 'c: d'" instead of "Only in a: b: c: d" because the file names 'a: b' and 'c: d' contain spaces. For compatibility with previous practice, diff -c and -u headers continue to quote for C rather than for the shell. diff now outputs more information when symbolic links differ, e.g., "Symbolic links ‘d/f’ -> ‘a’ and ‘e/f’ -> ‘b’ differ", not just "Symbolic links d/f and e/f differ". Special files too, e.g., "Character special files ‘d/f’ (1, 3) and ‘e/f’ (5, 0) differ", not "File d/f is a character special file while file e/f is a character special file". diff's --ignore-case (-i) and --ignore-file-name-case options now support multi-byte characters. For example, they treat Greek capital Δ like small δ when input uses UTF-8. diff now supports multi-byte characters when treating white space. In options like --expand-tabs (-t), --ignore-space-change (-b) and --ignore-tab-expansion (-E), diff now recognizes non-ASCII space characters and counts columns for non-

We are happy to announce a minor release of GNU Typist, gtypist-2.10.1. GNU Typist (also called gtypist) is a universal typing tutor.

Updates in 2.10.1 - update the Spanish translation - fix in gtypits.typ, to jump from the global menu to the menus of the individual lessons - small fix to u.typ lesson - remove cmdline.c and cmdline.h files from the git repo; this will only affect those who build from git sources; dependency to gengetopt added to README.git - include the version.sh file, so autoconf can always update project version Addendum: since v2.10, gtypist is saving configuration setting in the file .gtypistrc Download Here are the compressed sources: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gtypist/gtypist-2.10.1.tar.gz (1.4MB) https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gtypist/gtypist-2.10.1.tar.xz (804KB) Here are the GPG detached signatures: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gtypist/gtypist-2.10.1.tar.gz.sig https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gtypist/gtypist-2.10.1.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gtypist Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums: File: gtypist-2.10.1.tar.gz SHA1 sum: 3bad9802ef19c433b7ed6c6e9254cfc1a43ad06e SHA256 sum: 09fdea05597b9c44e28dd795b8c9eb79a6afe4d02fef19ea6eb9956bc0813413 File: gtypist-2.10.1.tar.xz SHA1 sum: 0f11affab6e84699e46dd36379d3dcd319790754 SHA256 sum: ca618054e91f1ed5ef043fcc43500bbad701c959c31844d4688ff22849ac252d Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact.
