GNU moe 1.11 released

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU moe 1.11.

GNU moe is a powerful, 8-bit clean, console text editor for ISO-8859 and 
ASCII character encodings. It has a modeless, user-friendly interface, 
online help, multiple windows, unlimited undo/redo capability, unlimited 
line length, unlimited buffers, global search/replace (on all buffers at 
once), block operations, automatic indentation, word wrapping, file name 
completion, directory browser, duplicate removal from prompt histories, 
delimiter matching, text conversion from/to UTF-8, romanization, etc.

Moe respects your work. By default it won't automatically add, change, or 
remove not even one byte in your files. Moe is a WYTIWYG (what you type is 
what you get) editor.

Moe can easily edit thousands of files at the same time.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/moe/moe.html

The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/moe/ 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/moe/ or from your favorite GNU mirror.

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending 
'.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' 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 8FE99503132D7742

Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739  FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742


Changes in version 1.11:

   * Begin of text is now correctly defined as the position of the first 
non-blank character in a line, instead of the first non-whitespace 
character. This fixes the behavior of 'auto indent' and 'smart home'.

   * As some operating systems and terminal emulators intercept the function 
keys, alternative key sequences have been implemented using Control-A and 
Control-Q. 'C-a 1' to 'C-a 9' work as F1 to F9. 'C-a 0', 'C-a a', and 'C-a 
b' work as F10, F11, and F12 respectively. 'C-q 2' works as 'C-q F2'.

   * As a consequence of the previous change, Control-A no longer shows the 
online help.

   * The new option '-2, --two-spaces', that tells moe to put two spaces 
after period when reformatting a paragraph, has been added.

   * The new search sequence '\T' (trailing whitespace) has been added.

   * UTF-8 codes are now shown as Uhhhh, not 0xhhhh.

   * The command 'C-s g' (Show global status) now shows the number of 
buffers being edited, not the number of buffer handles.

   * Pressing <Tab> in the file menu now shows the list of matching files 
even if there is only one, showing that a matching file exists.

   * The new command 'C-s b' (toggle clock blinking) has been added. It 
enables/disables the blinking of the clock dots. Blinking is off by default.

   * Recursive load now ignores some more non-text or non-source files by 
extension; ".bmp", ".elf", ".obj", ".xcf", ".zip", ".info", ".jpeg", ".class".

   * The command 'F3' (load file) now shows feedback ( "loading..." ) and 
may be aborted with Control-C.

   * The command Control-X (save and close) now updates the status line 
before exiting if closing the last buffer handle.

   * The command Alt-Z (scroll down) now scrolls until only two lines are 
visible.

   * The command 'C-k w' (write the block to a file) now asks before 
overwriting an existing file and works when writing from an unnamed 
read-only buffer.

   * The UTF-8 decoder now converts some more characters (mostly Greek) and 
some alphabetic presentation forms ('ff', 'fi', 'fl', 'ffi', 'ffl', 'ft', 
and 'st'). It now also converts the 'latin capital letter sharp s (german)' 
to "SS".

   * The emergency save triggered by an abnormal event now only saves 
non-empty buffers and only once even if any of them has multiple handles.

   * The commands needed to set the text console in the right mode for moe 
have been documented in the manual.
