A little over a year after the release of GNU ed 1.15, GNU ed 1.16 was released.
In the new version:
- The replace command no longer complains about "infinite replace loop" with commands like 's/^/#/g'.
- The input string length limit has been removed.
- It is documented that extended regular expression operators may not be available depending on the implementation of regular expressions on the system running ed.
- Some fixes and improvements to the documentation.
