GNU Moe is a powerful, 8-bit clean, console text editor for ISO-8859 and 
ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly interface, 
online help, multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo capability, unlimited 
line length, global search/replace (on all buffers at once), block 
operations, automatic indentation, word wrapping, file name completion, 
directory browser, duplicate removal from prompt histories, delimiter 
matching, text conversion from/to UTF-8, romanization, etc.

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


Changes in this version:

  * File names containing control characters are now shown correctly.

  * The "decode UTF-8" command now romanizes (transliterates) Cyrillic, 
Greek, Armenian and Georgian scripts to Latin script. It also removes 
unsupported diacritics (carons, macrons, breves, cedillas, ogoneks, 
strokes, dots above and inside) from Latin letters.

  * If "decode UTF-8" is issued a second time, the decoding is 
performed leaving any out-of-range UTF-8 characters unmodified instead 
of signaling an error.

  * The new command "remove UTF-8 out of range" has been added.

  * If "encode to UTF-8" is issued a second time, the encoding is 
performed unconditionally.

  * The new command "encode to ASCII" has been added. This command does 
not simply reset the most significant bit of each byte. For example, the 
control codes "0x80"-"0x9F" are converted to the corresponding escape 
sequences "0x1B 0x40"-"0x1B 0x5F", the "latin small letter sharp s 
(german)" is transliterated to "ss", and the euro sign is replaced with 
the string "euro".

  * When replacing all the matches in a buffer at once (by choosing 
"Rest"), they are now joined in one undo record. (They can be undone 
pressing "undo" once).

  * The "--no-read-only" option now overrides the automatic detection 
of non writable files even when used as default file option or in the 
moerc file.

  * Block replace, undo and redo now keep approximations to the 
bookmarks existing inside the replaced block.

  * The command "extend bookmarks" now also reassigns repeated bookmarks.

  * The "Character Set" help screens are now shown by rows of 16 
characters.
