GNU ed is an 8-bit clean, more or less POSIX-compliant implementation of 
the standard Unix line editor.

Changes in this version:

  * Address ',,' has been fixed to mean '$,$' instead of '1,$'. 
(Reported by Matthieu Felix).

  * A 's' command that is part of a 'g' or 'v' command-list can again 
split a line by including a newline escaped with a backslash '\' in the 
replacement string. For this to work, the closing delimiter of the 
replacement string can't be omitted unless the 's' command is the last 
command in the list, because otherwise the meaning of the escaped 
newline would become ambiguous.

  * Following a recent change in the posix standard, the 'c' command no 
longer accepts an address of 0, and the documentation for the 'i' 
command now explains that it treats address 0 as meaning "at the 
beginning of the buffer", instead of as a synonym for address 1.

  * The configure script now accepts appending options to CFLAGS using 
the syntax 'CFLAGS+=OPTIONS'.
