- Release Notes for GNU indent version 1.7.
-
- * All reported bugs have been fixed, except some of those dealing with
- comments. I have completely rewritten the comment handling code in
- indent, but since this produces rather different comment formats
- (mostly, it makes several comment-related options actually work) I
- am waiting for the next release of indent to install this.
-
- To see what the differences in the comment handling will be, compare
- the file `comments.texinfo' to the section on comments in the info
- node for indent.
-
- It is possible that I have lost some bug reports, as some of my mail
- falls into a crack between two machines. In the future, please be
- sure to use the address "bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu".
-
- * All errors and warnings are output on the standard error stream,
- and conform to the GNU error message format.
-
- * There is now more support for small (i.e., 16-bit) machines.
-
- * There have been slight changes to the default behaviour, namely:
-
- - Column 1 comments are not formatted.
-
- - Preprocessor spaces are removed.
-
- * When "-lps" is specified, whitespace preceding the '#' character is
- left untouched, as well as following whitespace.
-
- * When the tabsize is specified as 1 or 0 (e.g., "-ts 0"), spaces are
- used instead of tabs. There may be bugs in this behaviour, but they
- should vanish with the new comment code.
