*** Actual Additions and bug fixes ***
Legend:
+ = Addition/modification
! = Bug fix

+ Added support for reading huge text files for the -F/-F!
flags or options, whose lines might exceed 1 MB before an
end of line terminator is encountered
+ Added support for meta characters within the search string
of the -F/-F! flags, where line(s) can be printed out based
upon a number or line number range, as in: "\L07-0x45c"
+ Greatly increased the searching power for strings in
large "binary" files for the -F/-F! flags
! Fixed a false positive bug with the case insensitive
search feature of the -F/-F! flags

These are the new features/bug fixes added to version 0.0.7.0
over the prior release 0.0.6.9

[Binary]
An executable program file is included in this release for
Windows-based computers. It is named fdump.exe and was
compiled with Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 on Windows XP. There is
also now a pre-compiled binary for Linux.

[Source code]
The source code is comprised of two files: basename.cpp and
fdump.cpp These should compile on a *NIX-based system
using g++ or equivalent. Note, fdump.1 is a pre-formatted
man (manual) file ready for use. Please install this
into your local manpath.
