GNU moe 1.9 released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU moe 1.9.

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, unlimited buffers, 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.

Moe can easily edit thousands of files at the same time.

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

The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/moe/ 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/moe/ or from your favorite GNU 
mirror.

The sha256sum is:

moe-1.9.tar.lz

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by 
appending '.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' command fails because 
you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742


Changes in version 1.9:

  * Moe now loads recursively all the regular files in each directory 
passed in the command line. This feature makes it easier to edit a whole 
tree containing thousands of files.

  * The new help key 'C-a' has been added because 'F1' is intercepted 
by some terminal emulators, and 'C-h' is interpreted as backspace by others.

  * The UTF-8 decoder now converts some more characters.

  * Cursor positions (+line,column) given in the command line are now 
adjusted for tab characters.

  * The command 'goto matching delimiter' now skips delimiters inside 
/**/ comments.

  * The 'N' command ('Find next' in reverse direction) has been added 
to the basic less emulation.

  * Standard input is now read just once, the first time it appears in 
the command line.

  * 'Remove duplicate lines' is now a 20% faster.

  * Long file names are now cut to fit in messages like this:
    "File '...end_of_long_file_name' saved".

  * An 8-bit "C" locale is now used in Cygwin so that ncurses can show 
characters higher than 127.

  * A configure warning happening on some shells when testing for g++ 
has been fixed.
