- Sed 3.02
-
- Fixed a bug in the parsing of character classes (e.g., /[[:space:]]/).
- Corrected an omission in djgpp/Makefile.am and an improper dependency
- in testsuite/Makefile.am.

- Sed 3.01
-
- This version of sed mainly contains bug fixes and portablility
- ehancements, plus performance enhancements related to sed's handling
- of input files. Due to excess performance penalties, I have reverted
- (relative to 3.00) to using regex.c instead of the rx package for
- regular expression handling, at the expense of losing true POSIX.2
- BRE compatability. However, performance related to regular expression
- handling *still* needs a fair bit of work.
-
- One new feature has been added: regular expressions may be followed
- with an "I" directive ("i" was taken [the "i"nsert command]) to
- indicate that the regexp should be matched in a case-insensitive
- manner. Also of note are a new organization to the source code,
- new documentation, and a new maintainer.

- Sed 3.0
-
- This version of sed passes the new test-suite donated by
- Jason Molenda.
-
- Overall performance has been improved in the following sense: Sed 3.0
- is often slightly slower than sed 2.05. On a few scripts, though, sed
- 2.05 was so slow as to be nearly useless or to use up unreasonable
- amounts of memory. These problems have been fixed and in such cases,
- sed 3.0 should have acceptable performance.
