GNU ed 1.22 released

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ed 1.22.

GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create, display, modify 
and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively and via shell 
scripts. A restricted version of ed, red, can only edit files in the current 
directory and cannot execute shell commands. Ed is the 'standard' text 
editor in the sense that it is the original editor for Unix, and thus widely 
available. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen 
editors such as GNU Emacs or GNU Moe.

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

The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ed/

The sha256sum is:
7eb22c30a99dcdb50a8630ef7ff3e4642491ac4f8cd1aa9f3182264df4f4ad08  ed-1.22.tar.lz

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 --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742

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


Changes in version 1.22:

   * An ex(1) style filter has been implemented; the shell escape command 
(!) now accepts line addresses to filter the addressed lines through a shell 
command. (Suggested by Shawn Wagner, Andrew L. Moore, and John Cowan).

Antonio Diaz, GNU ed maintainer.
