I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ed 1.5.

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/ or from your favorite GNU mirror.

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

The md5sums are:
e66c03d7e4c67b025d5b6093ec678267  ed-1.5.tar.gz
85353341854929bcd3526ed0814b1ed0  ed-1.5.tar.lz

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

Changes in version 1.5:

* The "a", "c" and "i" commands have been fixed. (When used in a global command list, the commands following them in the list were ignored).

* The "e" command has been fixed. (It quitted when invoked a second time with a modified buffer).

  * The new option "--restricted" has been added.

  * "red" has been converted to a script invoking "ed --restricted".

  * Description of ed in the manual has been changed.

  * Obsolete posix tests have been removed from testsuite.

Antonio Diaz, GNU ed maintainer.
