To whom may concerned: The past week is GSoC midterm. I first made the new nvi runnable, then tested and fixed the multibyte support part, ported it back to FreeBSD-current. The biggest challenge was the db/line cache support. The db code of nvi-1.8x is wrong, incomplete, +memory leak. Now they should be stable enough and can handle multibyte lines. I plan to do more testing this week, and create a branch with file encoding detection. Since nvi never changes the encoding of the original file, any detection is safe, and I just need one suitable for FreeBSD (UTF-16 BOM, UTF-8, locale). -- Zhihao Yuan, nickname lichray The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ___________________________________________________ 4BSD -- http://4bsd.biz/
