OpenVi 7.9.33

Changes since 7.7.32

• Update README to mention optional pkg-config prerequisite
• Do not include termio.h on Linux systems
• Update email address (johnsonjh.dev@gmail.com)
• Avoid set but not used warnings, from Walter Alejandro Iglesias
• Whitespace fixes, prompted by a diff by Walter Alejandro Iglesias
• Fix underflows in ex(1) and vi(1) +cmd parser
• vs_split() uses sp's visual map without checking it exists;
• When updating the ranges after an insertion or deletion, the range should be up to and including the current line number. This behavior is consistent with historic vi as well as modern vim. Reported by Tim Case, fix from Walter Alejandro Iglesias
• Fix a misapplied patch, the goto belongs outside the len check.
• Prevent ( from moving the cursor forward. Fixes an issue where ( moved forward the start of the next (not previous) sentence when used within whitespace at the start if a line. From Debian bug 193498 (Tommy Pettersson) via nvi2.
• Fix special case of ) when the cursor is on white-space. The forward sentence code has a special case to support moving to the start of the next sentence when it is in the middle of a empty line or whitespace between sentences. However, the logic was incorrect and applied when the curson was on any white-space. This change adds logic to look back and detect whether the cursor is actually in between two sentences. Based on a diff from Walter Alejandro.
• Allow !} and !) at EOF, even though there is no forward movement. The updated behavior differs from traditional vi but matches vim. It is already possible to run bang commands at EOF in conjunction with some other forward movement commands such as l and w. From Walter Alejandro Iglesias.
• Check for E_CLRFLAG in ecp->cmd->flags, not ecp->iflags. Fixes a problem where an extra line is printed at the end of the output when the "number" command is given the "l" (literal display) flag. From Jeremy Mates and Walter Alejandro Iglesias.
• Make the behavior of the ( command match the ) command. Previously, the ) command required a sentence to end with two blanks, but ( only required a single space. Historic vi (and the documentation) requires two spaces in both directions. Based on a diff from Walter Alejandro Iglesias.
• Allocate a buffer for the line cache instead of reaching into db data. Previously, vi used the db internal data buffer directly. Fixes a problem where the line cache could become corrupted when the db data changes out from under it. From Walter Alejandro Iglesias.

OpenVi 7.4.25

Changes since 7.4.24

• Add a new option, altnotation (abbreviation an), inspired by the Nvi2 option of the same name; if set, most control characters less than 0x20 will be displayed in <C-char> notation, and carriage feed, escape, and delete will be displayed as <Ret>, <Esc>, and <Del>, respectively

OpenVi 7.4.24

Changes since 7.4.23

• Silence a warning when building with recent Clang compilers.
• Treat consecutive paragraph indicators as different paragraphs; Consecutive empty lines count toward the same state, so there are 2x states (to get in and out). ^L and .PP are counted as text, hitting those in the text should be treated as getting out of a paragraph and then getting in. From Walter Alejandro Iglesias and Zhihao Yuan in nvi2; ok bluhm@
• Fix typo in last ChangeLog entry
