I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ed 1.7.

GNU ed is an 8-bit clean, more or less POSIX-compliant implementation of the standard Unix line editor.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ed/ed.html

The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ed/ http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ed/ or from your favorite GNU mirror.

The md5sums are:
0aa4e2428e325203d0d7c3e86c961b1c  ed-1.7.tar.gz
16f2c58b1f3d283dcdcdc510642dbf91  ed-1.7.tar.lz

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending ".sig" to the URL.

Changes in version 1.7:

* Show the "Try 'ed --help' for more information." message if a bad option is given in the command line.

* Quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU Coding Standards.

* The description of address offsets in the manual and a link to the Bash manual have been fixed.

* Configure option "--datadir" has been renamed to "--datarootdir" to follow GNU Standards.

  * The target "install-bin" has been added to the Makefile.


Please send bug reports and suggestions to bug-ed@gnu.org

This version is also available in lzip format. If your distro doesn't yet distribute the lzip program, you can download it from http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html

If you are packaging ed for a distribution, please, try to use the lzipped source tarball, as this can improve the support for the lzip format in packaging systems. Thanks.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ed maintainer.
