(Reported by Sören Tempel). +Reading a non-existent file with commands 'e' or 'E' did set the 'modified' +flag, which prevented a following 'e' command from succeeding. +(Reported by Harry Graf). -A couple of harmless memory leaks have been fixed. (They both happened just -before ed exits). (Reported by Xosé Vázquez Pérez). +The long name of option '-s' has been changed to '--script'. +Option '-s' now only suppresses byte counts and the '!' prompt as mandated +by POSIX. It no longer suppresses diagnostic messages written to stderr. +(Both changes suggested by Andrew L. Moore). -The pointer returned by the function 'strip_escapes' is now checked. (It may -be null if memory is exhausted). +The short name '-q' has been assigned to options '--quiet' and '--silent'. +Option '-q' now only suppresses diagnostic messages written to stderr. -The shell escape command (!) now removes the backslash from each escaped '%' -character within the text of the shell command line. -(Reported by Martin Thomsen). +The help message showing the line where a script error happened when ed's +input is from a regular file is now printed to stdout instead of stderr +because it is enabled by the 'H' command. -Case-insensitive regular expressions have been implemented as in GNU sed. +Ed no longer processes file names for backslash escapes. +(Suggested by Andrew L. Moore). -Syntax errors in regular expressions, for example unmatched ( or \(, no -longer overwrite a previously compiled regular expression, preventing a -"No previous pattern" error. +It has been documented in the manual that address 0 is valid as a starting +point for searches so that '0;/RE/' can match the regular expression RE in +the first line of the buffer. -The option '--strip-trailing-cr', which removes carriage returns at end of -text lines, has been added. - -Loading a file now fails if a line is longer than INT_MAX bytes or if the -file contains more than INT_MAX lines (usually 2 Gi lines). (Instead of -overflowing line addresses). - -In interactive mode ed now sets final exit status to 1 if a fatal error -happens while reading the file passed in the command line. - -red now reports "Directory access restricted" instead of "Invalid filename" -when trying to edit a file outside of the current directory. - -The new chapter "The 's' Command" has been added to the manual. +It has been documented in the manual how to achieve the effect of ex style +'!' filtering with a sequence of commands. |
