- + Fix bug where the status line wasn't redisplayed if the user ran
- an ex command that trashed the screen.
- + Fix bug where the long version of the status line wasn't displayed

- both a wrapmargin and showmatch condition.
- + Fix bug in leftright scrolling where <CR> during text input didn't
- return the cursor to the left margin.

- + Fix bug in tags file pattern search introduced in 1.71.
-1.70 -> 1.71 (07/01/96)
- + Don't include <term.h> -- neither HPUX or Solaris can cope with it.
- + Fix bug where ^M's in the original pattern were converted into new
- lines in the file during substitution commands.
- + Make window resize events separate from interrupts -- too many users
- complained.
- + Fix bug in first-character-is-null text input semantic.
- + Rework search routines to take a length instead of a nul-terminated
- string for a pattern. This fixes a couple of bugs in searching, but
- probably introduces new ones.
- + Fix prompting the user after a write filter command, the way I did
- it in 1.70 broke the display.
- + Don't switch to the alternate xterm screen when entering the ex
- text input commands from vi mode.
- + Implement the Fg command, so can foreground a background screen into
- a split screen.

-1.69 -> 1.70 (06/28/96)
- + Change the ex read command to support named pipes.
- + Copy the EXINIT/NEXINIT strings before executing their commands so
- we don't step on the process environment.
- + Don't do "line modification" reports for intermediate commands
- executed from the vi colon command line, it screws up filter
- reads, causing nvi to prompt for the user to continue.
- + Add "smd" as an abbreviation for showmode: HP, ICL and SCO have it.
- + Change nvi to always prompt the user after a write filter command.
- This matches historic practice.
- + Fix recovery information mailed to the user to reflect the program's
- installed name.
- + Change configuration script to not cache option information, e.g.,
- --disable-curses.
- + Fix a bug where the second character of the vi [[, ]] and ZZ
- commands could start a command mapped sequence.
- + Fix 3 write bugs: partial writes (3,$write), were clearing the
- modified flag, full writes using line numbers (1,$write) were
- not, and append historically never cleared the modified flag, and
- we didn't get that right.
- + Shorten the "more files to edit" message so it can gang on a single
- line, lots of people have complained. Add the number of files that
- are left to edit, it's historic practice.
- + Fix core dump where message catalogs collided with truncating the
- write path. Add a new write message so the string "appended" is
- taken from a message catalog.
- + Fix bug where an undo followed by '.' to repeat it wouldn't work
- if no other repeatable commands had been entered.
- + Fix core dump when resolution of input lines' autoindent characters
- invalidated cached display information.
- + Set the name of the X11 xterm icon/window to "xterm" when exiting,
- if modified based on the windowname option.
- + Include <term.h> if it exists, fixes portability problems on IRIX
- systems.
-1.68 -> 1.69 (06/17/96)
- + Add the windowname edit option and code to change the icon/window
- name for xterm's.
- + Enhance the comment edit option to skip shell comments.
- + Add conditional prototypes to replacement C library functions.
- + Minor enhancements/reworking to Makefile.in, other build files.
- + Fix bug in vi text input ^D processing, could result in cursor
- warp to the beginning of the line.
- + Fix leftright screen bug where the screen wasn't repainted when
- being repainted from scratch.
- + Update the Swedish and Dutch catalogs.
- + Truncate paths in write commands if they don't fit on one line.
- + Fix alternate screen bug where the screen flashed and output lost
- when switching to/from the X11 xterm alternate screen. Fix bug
- where nvi switched into the alternate screen during filter-read
- commands, which doesn't match historic practice.
- + Minor relative cursor positioning change, make cursor position
- changes from ex real and permanent.
-1.67 -> 1.68 (06/09/96)
- + Fix core dump when tagging out of a modified file.
-1.66 -> 1.67 (06/09/96)
- + Convert the license to adware.
- + Leftright scrolling tweak, don't repaint the screen as often.
- + Change so that search warning/error messages don't appear during an
- incremental search.
- + Cscope fix: test for files newer than the database was reversed.
- + Don't display ex `welcome message' if in ex batch mode.
- + Test for vsnprintf and snprintf separately, HP 10.10 has snprintf
- but not vsnprintf.
- + Reverse lookup order between LC_MESSAGES and LANG.
- + Fix Tcl/Perl core dumps in common API code to get/set options.
- + Fix R command -- it used a DB pinned page after discarding it.
- + Minor fixes in multiple edit buffer message handling code.
- + Fix yk command moving to shorter line core dump.
- + Rework message handling to try and gang more messages onto a single
- line.
-1.65 -> 1.66 (05/18/96)
- + Convert vi man page to historic -man macro package, and install it.
- + Fix bug were !! on an empty line with a nonexistent command left the
- cursor on the second character, not the first.
- + Fix bug where line redisplay was wrong when a <tab> replaced a
- previous <tab> in the line.
- + Fix bug where D (d$) didn't reset the relative cursor position.
- + Fix bug where yG incorrectly reset the relative cursor position.
- + Fix bug where the window size couldn't be grown once it was shrunk.
- + Fix bug where the extended edit option caused tag searches to fail.
- + If multiple lines in the tags file with the same leading tag, build
- a tags stack like the Cscope stack. This is the obvious extension,
- and the way that Larry McVoy's ctags program works.
- + Send the appropriate TI/TE sequence in the curses screen whenever
- entering ex/vi mode. This means that :shell now shows the correct
- screen when using xterm alternate screens.
- + Rework the options display code to get five columns in an 80 column
- screen.
- + Interactive Unix V3.0 port -- mostly file name shortening, other
- minor changes. Only preliminary, more work will be necessary.
- + Add debugging option to not read EXINIT/.exrc information.
- + Fix bug where re_compile printed an error message to the screen
- when the user entered [ to an incremental search.
- + Turn off screen beeps when incremental search is failing.
- + Fix bug where the iclower option didn't trigger an RE recompilation.
- + Fix bug where -t into an already locked file forced the user to wait
- as if a startup command had failed.
- + LynxOS port -- mostly adding <sys/types.h> even though <sys/param.h>
- was already included.
- + Fix ex output bug, where it appeared as if an ex command was skipped
- due to flags not being cleared in the vs_msg() routine.
- + Fix core dump when global command tried to switch screens.
-1.64 -> 1.65 (05/13/96)
- + Fix cscope <blank>-matching pattern to use extended RE's, and bug
- that kept cscope from finding patterns containing <blank>s.
- + Fix core dumps in both leftright and folded screens when tabstops
- edit option value was large, and tab characters occurred as the last
- character in the logical screen.
- + Fix core dump where the second screen of a folded line wasn't
- displayed correctly.
- + Fix incremental search to match the current location for strings
- starting with \< patterns.
- + Fix bug where margins were ignored during replay of text input.
- + Fix bug where motion components to shorter lines could lose because
- the relative motion flags weren't ever set. This has been broken
- forever, but the change almost certainly breaks something else -- I
- have no idea what.
- + Tags display: don't print the current entry separately, display
- them all and add a trailing asterisk for the current one.
- + Change the cscope add command to put the directory name through
- standard file name expansion.
- + Fix cscope use of buffers -- search commands weren't nul-terminated.
-1.63 -> 1.64 (05/08/96)
- + Add installation target to the Makefile.
- + Add documentation on the new tags commands to the Vi Reference
- Manual.
- + Make the sidescroll edit option work again.
- + Fix bug where messages output during startup by ex could be lost.
- + Change ex/vi commands errors into beeps, unless the verbose edit
- option is set -- there are too many macros that are expected to
- eventually fail. This matches historic practice.
- + Truncate paths in initial vi screen if they won't fit on one line.
- + Make cursor position after filter write match historic practice.
- + Force the user to wait if there is output and the user is leaving
- the screen for any reason -- don't permit further ex commands.
- + Don't use a <newline> character to scroll the screen when exiting,
- scroll in the vi screen before endwin() is called.
- + Fix bug where the column number could be incorrect because the old
- screen wasn't updated after a screen split.
- + Fix ex print routine to correctly specify print flags.
- + Make -g/-O a separate make/configuration option.
- + Fix bug where ex/vi messages weren't being joined.
- + Fix bug where termcap strings were free'd twice.
- + Fix bug where TI/TE still weren't working -- I didn't put in the
- translation strings for BSD style curses.
- + Fix bug where I misspelled the iclower edit option as icloser.
-1.62 -> 1.63 (04/29/96)
- + Robustness and type/lint fixes for the Tcl interface code.
- + Fix core dump if TERM wasn't set or terminal type was unknown.
- + Fix bug where combining ex commands that did/did not require an
- ex screen would overwrite the command with the want-to-continue
- messsage.
- + Fix bug where the screen was never resolved if the user continued
- entering ex commands using the : character, but then backspaced
- over the prompt to quit or tried to edit their colon command-line
- history.
- + Fix bug where cursor wasn't placed over the ^ placeholder character
- when quoting using the literal-next character.
- + Fix bug where nvi under BSD style curses wasn't sending TI/TE termcap
- strings when suspending the process.
- + Rename mic again, to iclower.
- + Fix bug where 'z' commands trailing / or ? commands weren't being
- executed.
- + Change incremental search to leave the cursor at its last position
- when searching for something that was never found.
- + Fix bug where search-with-confirmation from vi mode didn't position
- the cursor correctly after displaying the confirm message.
- + Fix bug where the "search wrapped" message was dependent on the
- verbose edit option, which doesn't match historic practice. Change
- search messages to be in inverse video.
- + Fix bug where matched showmatch character wasn't being displayed
- before the matching character was displayed.
- + Another cursor update bug required a change to vs_paint().
- + Fix bug were initial line offset was wrong for the first split screen
- (symptom is very strange column numbers and blank first line).
- + Create filename "argument" lists when creating new screens.
- + Fix bug where globals with associated commands that included both
- buffer execution and other commands could fail to execute the latter.
-1.61 -> 1.62 (04/22/96)
- + Rename the "searchci" edit option to be "mic".
- + Fix memory corruption in global commands ending in searches.
- + Fix text resolution bug, corrected the cursor based on the
- first line input, not the last.
- + Rework the readonly edit option to match historic practice.
- + Fix several minor incremental search bugs; make incremental
- searches work in maps.
- + Fix long-line core dump, where an incorrect screen map could be
- used.
-1.60 -> 1.61 (04/12/96)
- + The cursor now ends up on the FIRST character of the put text for
- all versions of the vi put commands, regardless of the source
- of the text. This matches System III/V behavior and POSIX 1003.2.
- + Fixed bug where showmatch messages were getting discarded.
- + Minor Perl integration fixes.
- + Integrate Cscope into the tags stack code -- major change.
- + Fixed bug where ^T would drop core if returning to a temporary file.
- + Changed vs_ routine to display ex output to replace tab characters
- with spaces.
- + Fix autoindent code to not back up past beginning of line when ^T
- inserted into the middle of a line, i.e. offset != 0.
- + Fix "notimeout" option, was being ignored, by a coding error.
- + Fix showmatch code to never flash on a match if keys are waiting.
- + Change the vi 'D' command to ignore any supplied count, matching
- historic practice.
- + Fix viusage for D, S, C and Y (the aliased vi commands).
- + Fix the Perl5 configuration bug in the configuration script.
- + Make file completion commands in empty lines work.
- + Fix where the change to let vi use the default ex command structure
- broke the ex specification of the script or source file name.
- + Fix to free saved RE structures when screens exit. This is a major
- RE change, which fixed several bugs in the handling of saved/subst
- RE's. It's likely to have added new bugs, however.
- + Add case-independent searching (the searchci edit option).
- + Add incremental search (the searchincr edit option).
- + Home the cursor when executing ex commands from vi.
-1.59 -> 1.60 (03/29/96)
- + Fix ":w >>" core dump, make that command match historic practice.
- + Fix autoindent bug where the length of the line was incorrectly
- calculated.
- + Fix cursor bug where cursor could end up at the wrong place if the
- movement keys were entered quickly enough.
- + Change the read/write whirling indicator to appear only every 1/4
- second, clean up the appearance.
- + Don't change the options real values until underlying functions
- have returned OK -- fix "set tabstop=0" core dump.
- + Fix resizing on Sun's: use SA_INTERRUPT to interrupt read calls.
- + Fix two forward mark command bugs: one where it wasn't setting the
- "favorite cursor" position because of the refresh optimization,
- and one where it didn't have VM_RCM_SET set in the command flags
- for some reason.
- + Fix a bug were the 's' command on top of a <tab> didn't correctly
- copy the buffer.
- + Make :exusage command work for commands having optional leading
- capital letters, e.g. Next.
- + Previous changes broke the inital-matching-prefix code in the key
- mapping part of v_event_get -- fix it, and fix the infinite macro
- interrupt code at the same time.
- + Add "cedit" edit option, so colon command-line editing is optional.
- Change filec/cedit so that you can set them to the same character,
- and they do cedit if in column 1, and filec otherwise.
- + Fix "source of non-existent file" core dump.
- + Fix bug where functions keys specified in startup information were
- never resolved/activated.
- + Fix v_txt bug where could infinitely loop if <escape> triggered an
- abbreviation expansion.
- + Move version string into VERSION file, out of ex_version.c
-1.58 -> 1.59
- + Configuration changes, several minor bug fixes, including a few
- core dumps. No functional changes.
-1.57 -> 1.58
- + Fix the problem where colon command-line temporary files were
- getting left in /tmp.
- + Fix the configuration scripts to quit immediately if the Perl
- or Tk/Tcl libraries are specified but not found.
- + Several screen fixes -- the changes in 1.57 weren't as safe as
- I thought. More specifically, the refresh-only-if-waiting change
- caused a lot of problems. In general, fixing them should provide
- even more speedup, but I'm nervous.
- + Lots of changes in the configuration scripts, hopefully this is
- just a first-round ordeal.
- + Several other minor bug fixes.
-1.56 -> 1.57
- + Add <esc> hook to colon commands, so you can edit colon commands.
- + Add Perl5 interpreter.
- + Change shell expansion code to fail if it doesn't read at least
- one non-blank character from the shell. If the shell expansion
- process fails, or if not at least one non-blank character, it
- now displays an error message to the user.
- + Rework the screen display so that it matches the historic vi screen
- refreshes.
- + Rework options processing: print/noprint are no longer cumulative,
- provide more information to underlying edit options modules, move
- O_MESG information into the screen specific code.
- + Make file completion character settable.
- + Rework terminal restart -- you can now use ":set term" to switch
- terminal types. This cleaned up screen resizing considerably.
- + Character display fix, display \177 as ^?, not in hex/octal.
- + Tag search bug fix, don't repeat search if successful.
- + Replace sys_siglist[] use with private sigmsg() routine.
- + Fix core dump if illegal screenId specified to Tcl routine.
- + Add get/set mark interface to Tcl Interpreter interface.
- + Fix core dump if file expansion code stressed (re: filec edit option)
- + Fix bug where filter commands in empty files couldn't find line 0.
- + Switch to GNU autoconf 2.7 for configuration, delete nvi/PORT.
- Many random portability fixes.

- + Bug fix release -- generally available beta release.
-1.54 -> 1.55 (11/18/95)
- + Bug fix release.
- + Integrate Tcl interpreter.
-1.53 -> 1.54 (11/11/95)
- + Bug fix release. A major change in reworking the ex commands, when
- called from the colon command line, to match historic practice, and
- permit them to be entered repeatedly after ex has trashed the screen.
- + Use restartable endwin() from System V curses to implement screen
- + suspend.
-1.52 -> 1.53 (10/29/95)
- + Switch to using vendor's curses library for all ports.
- + Back out the event driven version, leaving screen separation.
- + User configuration of <escape> timeout (the escapetime edit option).
- + Add Tcl/Tk screen support.
- + Add file name completion (the filec edit option).
- + Disallow access to outside applications (the secure edit option).
-1.51 -> 1.52 (7/26/95)
- + Minor cleanups, snapshotted for SMI.
-1.50 -> 1.51 (7/05/95)
- + Lots and lots of changes for event driven model, largely in moving
- the boundary between the screen code and the editor up and down.
- Private release for Rob Zimmermann @ Tartan and Bill Shannon @ SMI.
-1.49 -> 1.50 Fri Jun 9 13:56:17 1995
- + Minor bug fixes for stability.
- + Convert to an event driven model, with the usual Nachos Supreme
- layering that results. This is a completely new version, nothing
- done previously matters any more.
-1.48 -> 1.49 Wed Mar 8 10:42:17 1995
- + Changes in 1.46 broke ^A processing.
- + Add :previous to split screen commands.
- + Lots o' random bug fixes -- passes purify testing again.
-1.47 -> 1.48 Thu Feb 9 18:13:29 1995
- + Random bug fixes for 1.47.
- + Move the FREF (file structure) list out of the screen and into
- the global area.
- + Change semantics to :E to more closely match :e -- ":E" joins
- the current file, so ":E /tmp" is now the command to match the
- historic ":split".
-1.46 -> 1.47 Wed Feb 8 19:43:41 1995
- + All ex commands (including visual and excluding global and v)
- are now supported inside ex global commands.
- + Rework the append/change/insert commands to match historic
- practice for text appended to the ex command line, and inside
- of ex global commands.

- screens on the fly.
- + Change hexadecimal output to be \x## instead of 0x##.
- + Change ex commands run from vi to stay in vi mode for as long as

-1.45 -> 1.46 Tue Jan 24 10:22:27 1995
- + Restructure to build as a library.
-1.44 -> 1.45 Thu Jan 12 21:33:06 1995
- + Fix relative cursor motion to handle folded lines.
- + Recompile the search pattern if applicable edit options change.
- + Change +/-c command ordering to match historic practice.
- + Rework autoindent code to always resolve preceeding <blank>
- characters when a ^T or ^D are entered.

- a character is printable.
- + Change ex to run in canonical mode.
- + Fix ex text input to support the number edit option.
- + Vi text input fix for the R command to correctly restore
- characters entered and then backspaced over.
- + Several vi increment command fixes.
-1.43 -> 1.44
- + Bug fix, vi was printing the last line number on the status line
- at startup. Change to execute commands at first line set, i.e.
- "vi -t tag -c cmd" executes cmd at the tag line, not EOF.
-1.42 -> 1.43 Sat Dec 3 13:11:32 1994
- + Marks, SunOS signed comparison fix for 1.42.
-1.41 -> 1.42 Fri Dec 2 20:08:16 1994
- + Make autowrite require the file not be read-only.
- + Make the ex insert command work in empty files.
- + Tab expansion is no longer limited to values < 20 (which matches
- historical practice).
- + Simplify (and fix limit detection for) the # command. It's no
- longer possible to use the # command itself to repeat or modify
- a previous # command, '.' is the only possibility.
- + Lots more reworking of the ex addresses, putting ? and / into
- the ex addressing code broke the world.
- + Make the Put, Preserve and Print commands work (don't ask).
- + Split stdout/stderr from shell expansions; stdout is expansion
- text, stderr is entered on the message queue.
-1.40 -> 1.41 Fri Nov 18 16:13:52 1994
- + Addition of a port for AUX 3.1
- + Addition of a message catalog for Russian.
- + Make vi ? and / commands be true ex addresses (historic practice).
- + Display the date first in vi -r recovery list.
-1.39 -> 1.40 Mon Nov 14 10:46:56 1994
- + Two bug fixes for 1.39; -r option and v_change core dump.
-1.38 -> 1.39 Sun Nov 13 18:04:08 1994
- + Ex substitution with confirmation now matches historic practice
- (except that it still runs in raw mode, not cooked).
- + Nvi now clears the screen before painting, if repainting the
- entire screen.
- + Fix final cursor position for put command entering text in a
- single line.
- + Change to break error message lines on the last <blank> in the
- line.
- + Always center the current line when returning to a previously
- edited file or moving to a tag line that's not visible on the
- screen.
- + Change write of the current file using an explicit name or % to
- match the semantics of :w<CR>, not :w file<CR>.
- + Add command aliases to vi, and remap 6 historic commands to their
- historic counterparts: D->d$, Y->y_, S->c_, C->c$, A->$a, I->^i.
- + Match option display to historic practice; if boolean or numeric
- options changed to default values, not displayed by default.
- Nvi treats string options the same way, vi always displayed any
- string option that was changed.
- + Added lock edit option, if not set, no file locking is done.
- + Rework ex to permit any ex command in the EXINIT variable or
- exrc startup files. This fixes the bug were `vi +100 file'
- painted the screen and then moved to line 100 and repainted.
- (Yanked to SCCS ID 9.1.)
- + Bug fix: could report file modified more recently than it was
- written, incorrectly.
- + Search fix: historically, motions with deltas were not corrected
- to the previous/next line based on the starting/stopping column.
- + Addressing fixes: make trailing non-existent addresses work, change
- % to be text substitution, not a unique address (to follow future
- POSIX).
-1.37 -> 1.38 Mon Oct 24 12:51:58 1994

- correctly (or fail if old-style termcap support).
- + Change ex/vi to not flush mapped keys on error -- this is historic
- practice, and people depended on it.
- + Rework vi parser so that no command including a mapped key ever
- becomes the '.' command, matching historic practice.
- + Make <escape> cancellation in the vi parser match POSIX 1003.2.
- + Fix curses bug where standout string was written for each standout
- character, and where standout mode was never exited explicitly.
- Fix bugs in curses SF/sf and SR/sr scrolling, as seen on Sun and

- start on the first character of the line.
- + Do '!' expansion in the ex read command arguments, it's historic
- practice. In addition, it sets the last '!' command.

- VKILL and VWERASE to incorrect ones.
- + Fix bug where optarg used incorrectly in main.c.

- a backing file; format recovery message.
-1.24 -> 1.25 Sun Jul 17 14:33:38 1994

- to get autowrite correct, and it's not historic practice.
- + Fix z^, z+ to match historic practice.
- + Bug in message handling, "vi +35 non-existent_file" lost the

- exiting could cause already free'd memory to be free'd.
- + Clean up numerous memory errors, courtesy of Purify.
- + Change process wait code to fail if wait fails, and not attempt

- practice.
- + Change the ex visual command to move directly to a line if no
- trailing 'z' command.
- + Fix "[[" and "]]" to match historic practice (yet again...).
- + Fix "yb" and "y{" commands to update the cursor correctly.

- split screens.
- + Put the prev[ious] command back in, people complained.
- + Random fixes to next/prev semantics changed in 1.22.
- + Historically vi doesn't only move to the last address if there's
- ANYTHING after the addresses, e.g. ":3" moves to line 3, ":3|"
- prints line 3.
-1.21 -> 1.22: Mon Jun 27 11:01:41 1994
- + Make the line between split screens inverse video again.
- + Delete the prev[ious] command, it's not useful enough to keep.

- + Read $HOME/.exrc file on startup if the effective user ID is
- root. This makes running vi while su(1)'d work correctly.

- just the last component. Matches historic practice.
- + Keep marks in empty files from being destroyed.

- into buffer a, buffer 1, and the unnamed buffer.
- + Print <tab> characters as ^I on the colon command line if the
- list option set.
- + Adjust ^F and ^B scroll values in the presence of split screens

- the comment.
- + Add a one line cache so that multiple changes to the same line
- are only counted once (e.g. "dl35p" changes one line, not 35).
- + Rework signals some more. Block file sync signals in vi routines
- that interface to DB, so can sync the files at interrupt time.
- Write up all of the signal handling arguments, see signal.c.
-1.19 -> 1.20: Thu May 5 19:24:57 1994
- + Return ^Z to synchronous handling. See the dicussion in signal.c

- + Make the 'p' and 'P' commands support counts, i.e. "Y10p" works.
- + Make characters that map to themselves as the first part of the
- mapping work, it's historic practice.
- + Fix bug where "s/./\& /" discarded the space in the replacement
- string.

- left/right support to match industry practice.
- + Fix bug were enough character remapping could corrupt memory.
- + Delete O_REMAPMAX in favor of setting interrupts after N mapped
- characters without a read, delete the map counter per character.

- being turned on periodically, when an interruptible operation is
- pending.
- + Fix bug where vi wait() was interrupted by the recovery alarm.
- + Make +cmd's and initial commands execute with the current line
- set to the last line of the file. This is historic practice.

- + Use the historic line number format, but check for overflow.
- + Fix bug where vi command parser ignored buffers specified as
- part of the motion command.
- + Make [@*]buffer commands on character mode buffers match historic
- practice.
- + Fix bug where the cmap/chf entries of the tty structure weren't
- being cleared when new characters were read.
- + Fix bug where the default command motion flags were being set
- when the command was a motion component.

- + Make the ex delete command work in any empty file.
- + Fix bug where 't' command placed the cursor on the character
- instead of to its left.
- + ^D and ^U didn't set the scroll option value historically.
- Note, this change means that any user set value (e.g. 15^D)
- will be lost when splitting the screen, since the split code
- now resets the scroll value regardless.
- + Fix the ( command to set the absolute movement mark.
- + Only use TIOCGWINSZ for window information if SIGWINCH signal
- caught.

- Add the ex "recover[!] file" command.
- + Switch into ex terminal mode and use the sex routines when
- append/change/insert called from vi mode.
- + Make ^F and ^B match historic practice. This required a fairly
- extensive rework of the svi scrolling code.
- + Cursor positioning in H, M, L, G (first non-blank for 1G) wasn't
- being done correctly. Delete the SETLFNB flag. H, M, and L stay
- logical movements (SETNNB) and G always moves to the first nonblank.
- + System V uses "lines" and "cols", not "li" and "co", change as
- necessary. Check termcap function returns for errors.

- replacement strings.
- + Fix bug when RCM flags retained in the saved dot structure.
- + Make the ex '=' command work for empty files.
- + Fix bug where special_key array was being free'd (it's no longer
- allocated).
- + Matches cut in line mode only if the starting cursor is at or
- before the first nonblank in its line, and the ending cursor is
- at or after the last nonblank in its line.
- + Add the :wn command, so you can write a file and switch to a new
- file in one command.
- + Allow only a single key as an argument to :viusage.
- + New movement code broke filter/paragraph operations in empty
- files ("!}date" in an empty file was dropping core).

- + Rework suspend code for System V curses. Nvi has to do the
- the work, there's no way to get curses to do it right.

- + Fix wrapscan option bug where forward searches become backward
- searches and do cursor correction accordingly.
- + Change "dd" to move the cursor to the first non-blank on the line.
- + Delete cursor attraction to the first non-blank, change non-blank
- motions to set the most attractive cursor position instead.
- + Fix 'r' substitute option to set the RE to the last RE, not the
- last substitute RE.
- + Fix 'c' and 'g' substitute options to always toggle, and fix
- edcompatible option to not reset them.
- + Display ex error messages in inverse video.
- + Fix errorbells option to match historic practice.
- + Delete fixed character display table in favor of table built based
- on the current locale.
- + Add ":set octal" option, that displays unknown characters as octal
- values instead of the default hexadecimal.
- + Make all command and text input modes interruptible.
- + Fix ex input mode to display error messages immediately, instead
- of waiting for the lines to be resolved.
- + Fix bug where vi calling append could overwrite the command.
- + Fix off-by-one in the ex print routine tab code.

- + Change H, M, and L to set the absolute mark, historical practice.
- + Fix bug in stepping through multiple tags files.
- + Add "remapmax" option that turns off map counts so you can remap
- infinitely. If it's off, term_key() can be interrupted from the
- keyboard, which will cause the buffers to flush. I also dropped
- the default max number of remaps to 50. (Only Dave Hitz's TM
- macros and maze appear to go over that limit.)
- + Change :mkexrc to not dump w{300,1200,9600}, lisp options.
- + Fix backward search within a line bug.
- + Change all the includes of "pathnames.h" to use <>'s so that the
- PORT versions can use -I. to replace it with their own versions.
- + Make reads and writes interruptible. Rework code that enters and
- leaves ex for '!' and filter commands, rework all interrupt and
- timer code.
- + Fix core dump when user displayed option in .exrc file.
- + Fix bug where writing empty files didn't update the saved
- modification time.

- + Fix "set all" core dump.
-1.08 -> 1.09: Sat Mar 19 10:11:14 EST 1994
- + If the tag's file path is relative, and it doesn't exist, check
- relative to the tag file location.

- + Upgrade PORT/regex to release alpha3.4, from Henry Spencer.
- + Add MKS vi's "cdpath" option, supporting a cd search path.
- + Handle if search as a motion was discarded, i.e. "d/<erase>".
- + Change nvi to not create multiple recovery files if modifying
- a recovered file.
- + Decide to ignore that the cursor is before the '$' when inserting
- in list mode. It's too hard to fix.
-1.07 -> 1.08: Wed Mar 16 07:37:36 EST 1994
- + Leftright and big line scrolling fixes. This meant more changes
- to the screen display code, so there may be new problems.
- + Don't permit search-style addresses until a file has been read.
- + "c[Ww]" command incorrectly handled the "in whitespace" case.
- + Fix key space allocation bug triggered by cut/paste under SunOS.
- + Ex move command got the final cursor position wrong.
- + Delete "optimize option not implemented" message.
- + Make the literal-next character turn off mapping for the next
- character in text input mode.
-1.06 -> 1.07: Mon Mar 14 11:10:33 EST 1994
- + The "wire down" change in 1.05 broke ex command parsing, there
- wasn't a corresponding change to handle multiple K_VLNEXT chars.
- + Fix final position for vi's 't' command.
-1.05 -> 1.06: Sun Mar 13 16:12:52 EST 1994
- + Wire down ^D, ^H, ^W, and ^V, regardless of the user's termios
- values.
- + Add ^D as the ex scroll command.
- + Support ^Q as a literal-next character.
- + Rework abbreviations to be delimited by any !inword() character.
- + Add options description to the manual page.
- + Minor screen cache fix for svi_get.c.
- + Rework beautify option support to match historical practice.
- + Exit immediately if not reading from a tty and a command fails.
- + Default the SunOS 4.* ports to the distributed curses, not SMI's.
-1.04 -> 1.05: Thu Mar 24 16:07:45 EST 1994
- + Make cursor keys work in input mode.
- + Rework screen column code in vi curses screen. MAJOR CHANGE --
- after this, we'll be debugging curses screen presentation from
- scratch.
- + Explode include files in vi.h into the source files.
-1.03 -> 1.04: Sun Mar 6 14:14:16 EST 1994
- + Make the ex move command keep the marks on the moved lines.
- + Change resize semantics so you can set the screen size to a
- specific value. A couple of screen fixes for the resize code.
- + Fixes for foreground/background due to SIGWINCH.
- + Complete rework of all of vi's cursor movements. The underlying
- assumption in the old code was that the starting cursor position
- was part of the range of lines cut or deleted. The command
- "d[[" is an example where this isn't true. Change it so that all
- motion component commands set the final cursor position separately
- from the range, as it can't be done correctly later. This is a
- MAJOR CHANGE -- after this change, we'll be debugging the cursor
- positioning from scratch.
- + Rewrite the B, b, E, e commands to use vi's getc() interface
- instead of rolling their own.
- + Add a second MARK structure, LMARK, which is the larger mark
- needed by the logging and mark queue code. Everything else uses
- the reworked MARK structure, which is simply a line/column pair.
- + Rework cut/delete to not expect 1-past-the-end in the range, but
- to act on text to the end of the range, inclusive.
- + Sync on write's, to force NFS to flush.
-1.01 -> 1.03: Sun Jan 23 17:50:35 EST 1994 (PUBLICLY AVAILABLE VERSION)
- + Tag stack fixes, was returning to the tag, not the position from
- which the user tagged.
- + Only use from the cursor to the end of the word in cursor word
- searches and tags. (Matches historical vi behavior.)
- + Fix delete-last-line bug when line number option set.
- + Fix usage line for :split command.
- + If O_NUMBER set, long input lines would eventually fail, the column
- count for the second screen of long lines wasn't set correctly.
- + Fix for [[ reaching SOF with a column longer than the first line.
- + Fix for multiple error messages if no screen displayed.
- + Fix :read to set alternate file name as in historical practice.
- + Fix cut to rotate the numeric buffers if line mode flag set.
-1.00 -> 1.01: Wed Jan 12 13:37:18 EST 1994
- + Don't put cut items into numeric buffers if cutting less than
- parts of two lines.
-0.94 -> 1.00: Mon Jan 10 02:27:27 EST 1994
- + Read-ahead not there; BSD tty driver problem, SunOS curses
- problem.
- + Global command could error if it deleted the last line of
- the file.
- + Change '.' to only apply to the 'u' if entered immediately
- after the 'u' command. "1pu.u.u. is still broken, but I
- expect that it's going to be sacrificed for multiple undo.
- + If backward motion on a command, now move to the point; get
- yank cursor positioning correct.
- + Rework cut buffers to match historic practice -- yank/delete
- numeric buffers redone sensibly, ignoring historic practice.
-0.92 -> 0.93: Mon Dec 20 19:52:14 EST 1993
- + Christos Zoulas reimplemented the script windows using pty's,
- which means that they now work reasonably. The down side of
- this is that almost all ports other than 4.4BSD need to include
- two new files, login_tty.c and pty.c from the PORT/clib directory.
- I've added them to the Makefiles.
- + All calloc/malloc/realloc functions now cast their pointers, for
- SunOS -- there should be far fewer warning messages, during the
- build. The remaining messages are where CHAR_T's meet char *'s,
- i.e. where 8-bit clean meets strcmp.
- + The user's argument list handling has been reworked so that there
- is always a single consistent position for use by :next, :prev and
- :rewind.
- + All of the historical options are now at least accepted, although
- not all of them are implemented. (Edcompatible, hardtabs, lisp,
- optimize, redraw, and slowopen aren't implemented.)
- + The RE's have been reworked so that matches of length 0 are handled
- in the same way as vi used to handle them.
- + Several more mapping fixes and ex parser addressing fixes.
