[Devil-linux-software] sed 4.2 has been released [freshmeat.net]

[freshmeat.net <no...@fr...>]

Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

bonzini just announced version 4.2 of sed on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

This release improved portability and increased speed in UTF-8 locales. A period
in regular expressions now accepts NUL bytes. ACLs correctly preserved in
in-place mode. A new --follow-symlinks option is available when editing a file
in-place. Hold-space is reset between different files in -i and -s modes. A new
'z' extension clears pattern space even in the presence of invalid multi-byte
sequences. Bugs in multi-byte processing were fixed. More GNU extensions are now
turned off by the --posix options, including all GNU extensions to regular
expressions.

Project description:

Sed, the GNU Stream Editor, copies the named files (standard input default) to
the standard output, edited according to a script of commands.
