==================================================================

Here is the GNU sed home page:
    http://gnu.org/s/sed/

For a summary of changes and contributors, see:
  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=sed.git;a=shortlog;h=v4.8
or run this command from a git-cloned sed directory:
  git shortlog v4.7..v4.8

To summarize the 865 gnulib-related changes, run these commands
from a git-cloned sed directory:
  git checkout v4.8
  git submodule summary v4.7

Here are the compressed sources:
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.8.tar.gz   (2.2MB)
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.8.tar.xz   (1.3MB)

Here are the GPG detached signatures[*]:
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.8.tar.gz.sig
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.8.tar.xz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
  https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify sed-4.8.tar.gz.sig

If that 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 7FD9FCCB000BEEEE

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.69.202-d78a
  Automake 1.16a
  Gnulib v0.1-3167-g6b9d15b8b

NEWS

* Noteworthy changes in release 4.8 (2020-01-14) [stable]

** Bug fixes

  "sed -i" now creates temporary files with correct umask (limited to u=rwx).
  Previously sed would incorrectly set umask on temporary files, resulting
  in problems under certain fuse-like file systems.
  [bug introduced in sed 4.2.1]

** Release

  distribute gzip-compressed tarballs once again

** Improvements

  a year's worth of gnulib development, including improved DFA performance
