RELEASE NOTES
CALVIN (FORMERLY FREE VI) VERSION 2.2
This is another bug-fix release, again having to do with internal errors.
I hope that they are fixed this time. It also changes the `undo' command
to act more like the original vi. In particular, you can move to the location
of the last change in the file by typing `uu'.
NOTES FOR VERSION 2.1:
This is a bug-fix release; this has to do with "internal error..." messages
which Version 2.0 occasionally produced. These could have been produced by
the following bugs, which have now been fixed:
1. If you type 'f' or 't' on a blank line, then it may find the character
in the next line.
2. If you run out of disk space when writing a file or a part of a file,
then it may turn an end-of-line into a Control-M (carriage return).
I hope that these fixes cut down on the number of internal errors.
NOTES FOR VERSION 2.0:
This is the third public release of Calvin, formerly called Free VI. The name
has been changed due to the appearance of other vi clones.
This version is a substantial rewrite of Version 1.9a; the most important
changes are:
1. There is no longer a 50K file size limit.
2. Many more ex ("colon") commands have been added.
3. You can now put multiple file names (and wild cards) on the command
line. Also, the "+" option and EXINIT command variable are now
supported.
4. Varying display parameters are supported (e.g. EGA 43 line mode).
Rather than list all the changes, I will refer you to the documentation file.
Thanks to mdlawler@bsu-cs.bsu.edu for many helpful suggestions and bug reports.
