Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Version 1.79 of nex/nvi is now available. The changes in nvi 1.79 are almost entirely bug and compatibility fixes. In particular, there was one large fix, to handle a complex use of the global command I'd never seen before. The only feature changes were: + Upgrading to Perl 5.003_06, and other Perl cleanups and upgrades, from Sven Verdoolaege. + The comment edit option now skips C++ comments, courtesy of Scott Bolte. + Spanish has been added to the list of message translations. If you're interested in a further review of the changes that have been made, a complete change log is included with the distribution, in the file docs/changelog. Version 1.79 is available for anonymous ftp from the usual two sites. ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:ucb/4bsd/nvi-1.79.tar.gz ftp.bostic.com:pub/nvi-1.79.tar.gz (The UC Berkeley site is likely to provide faster transfer speeds.) Please let me know if you have any problems, and thanks for using nvi! --keith
