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 1.5:
|
|

|
|

|

* all programs accept --help and --version options
|
|
* od --compatible accepts pre-POSIX arguments
|
|

|
|
* 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
