    I recently upgraded to sed 4.2 from 4.1.5, and have found text mode no longer works. When I run sed with -T or --textmode parameters, it spits out the help screen. The textmode feature is mentioned towards the bottom of this page: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm.

    Here is the full text of the command I'm piping text to:
    sed -T s/\"//g

    Is anyone else experiencing this?

      With version 4.2, the behavior of sed has been changed. It now works by default in textmode, and has an option for reading and writing in binary mode. The previous textmode option was a GnuWin32 extension, whereas the present binary-mode option is an option of the GNU package itself. The sed package page (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm) has not been updated to reflect this.
      I am sorry for any inconvenience this change may have caused.
