User-visible changes in release 1.11
|
|
* fmt is built
|
|
User-visible changes in release 1.10
|
|
* skeletal texinfo documentation (mainly just the `invoking' nodes)
|
|
* new program: fmt
|
|
* tail -f on multiple files reports file truncation
|
|
* tail -q has been fixed so it never prints headers
|
|
* wc -c is much faster when operating on non-regular files
|
|
* unexpand gives a diagnostic (rather than a segfault) when given a name of
|
|
a nonexistent file.
|
|
* cat, csplit, head, split, sum, tac, tail, tr, and wc no longer fail
|
|
gratuitously when continued after a suspended read or write system call.
|
|
* cut interprets -d '' to mean `use the NUL byte as the delimiter' rather
|
|
than reporting that no delimiter was specified and failing.
|
|
* `echo a:b:c: | cut -d: -f3,4' prints `c:'. Before it printed just `c'.
|
|
* cut has been rewritten, is markedly faster for large inputs, and passes a
|
|
fairly large test suite.
|
|
* sort properly handles the argument to the -T option.
|
|
|
|
Major changes in release 1.9.1:
|
|
* cut no longer ignores the last line of input when that line lacks a
|
|
trailing newline character
|
|
|
|
Major changes in release 1.9:
|
|
* `echo a:b:c: | cut -d: -f3-' prints `c:' and
|
|
`echo a:b | cut -d: -f1' prints `a'.
|
|
* the command `printf '\t\n' |fold -w n' now terminates.
|
|
Before, it wouldn't stop for n less than 8.
|
|
* sort accepts and ignores -y[string] options for compatibilty with Solaris.
|
|
* cat -v /dev/null works on more systems
|
|
* od's --compatible (-C) flag renamed to --traditional (no short option)
|
|
* --help and --version exit successfully
|
|
* --help gives a one-line description of each option and shows the
|
|
correspondence between short and long-named options.
|
|
* fix bug in cut. Now `echo 'a:b:c:' | cut -d: -f3-' works.
|
|
Before it printed `c' instead of `c:'
|
|
* csplit allows repeat counts to be specified via `{*}'.
|
|
* csplit accepts a new option, --suffix=format that supercedes the
|
|
--digits option. The --digits option will continue to work.
|
|
* csplit accepts a new option, --elide-empty-files.
|
|
* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of
|
|
some compilers on the number of symbols defined via -D.
|
|
* work around problem where $(srcdir)/config.h was used instead of
|
|
../config.h -- this happened only when building in a subdirectory
|
|
and when config.h remained in $(srcdir) from a previous ./configure.
|
|
|
|
Major changes in release 1.8:
|
|
* added non-ANSIfied version of memchr.c from GNU libc.
|
|
|
|
Major changes in release 1.7:
|
|
* none
|
|
Major changes in release 1.6:
|
|
* with the --version option programs print the version and exit immediately
|
|
* pr -2a really terminates
|
|
* pr -n produces multi-column output
|
|
|
|
Major changes in release 1.5:
|
|
* sort is 8-bit clean
|
|
* sort's -n and -M options no longer imply -b
|
|
* several bugs in sort have been fixed
|
|
* all programs accept --help and --version options
|
|
* od --compatible accepts pre-POSIX arguments
|
|
* pr -2a terminates
|
|
|
|
Major changes in release 1.4:
|
|
* add od and cksum programs
|
|
* move cmp to GNU diff distribution
|
|
* tail -f works for multiple files
|
|
* pr prints the file name in error messages
|
|
* fix some off by 1 errors in pr and fold
|
|
* optimize wc -c on regular files
|
|
* sort handles `-' argument correctly
|
|
* sort supports -T option
|
|
* tr ranges like a-a work
|
|
* tr x '' fails gracefully
|
|
* default sum output format is BSD compatible
|
|
* paste -d '' works
