Signoff sed-4.2-1 - licence GPL3 - added acl dep - added gettext makedep - install script for info page Upstream release notes: * now released under GPLv3 * added a new extension `z` to clear pattern space even in the presence of invalid multibyte sequences * a preexisting GNU gettext installation is needed in order to compile GNU sed with NLS support * new option --follow-symlinks, available when editing a file in-place. This option may not be available on some systems (in this case, the option will *not* be a no-op; it will be completely unavailable). In the future, the option may be added as a no-op on systems without symbolic links at all, since in this case a no-op is effectively indistinguishable from a correct implementation. * hold-space is reset between different files in -i and -s modes. * multibyte processing fixed * the following GNU extensions are turned off by --posix: options [iImMsSxX] in the `s' command, address kinds `FIRST~STEP' and `ADDR1,+N' and `ADDR1,~N', line address 0, `e' or `z' commands, text between an `a' or `c' or `i' command and the following backslash, arguments to the `l' command. --posix disables all extensions to regular expressions. * fixed bug in 'i\' giving a segmentation violation if given alone. * much improved portability * much faster in UTF-8 locales * will correctly replace ACLs when using -i * will now accept NUL bytes for `.'
