+Sed 4.2.1
+
+* fix parsing of s/[[[[[[[[[]//
+
+* security contexts are preserved by -i too under SELinux
+
+* temporary files for sed -i are not made group/world-readable until
+  they are complete
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.2
+
+* now released under GPLv3
+
+* added a new extension `z` to clear pattern space even in the presence
+of invalid multibyte sequences
+
+* a preexisting GNU gettext installation is needed in order to compile
+GNU sed with NLS support
+
+* new option --follow-symlinks, available when editing a file in-place.
+This option may not be available on some systems (in this case, the
+option will *not* be a no-op; it will be completely unavailable).
+In the future, the option may be added as a no-op on systems without
+symbolic links at all, since in this case a no-op is effectively
+indistinguishable from a correct implementation.
+
+* hold-space is reset between different files in -i and -s modes.
+
+* multibyte processing fixed
+
+* the following GNU extensions are turned off by --posix: options [iImMsSxX]
+in the `s' command, address kinds `FIRST~STEP' and `ADDR1,+N' and `ADDR1,~N',
+line address 0, `e' or `z' commands, text between an `a' or `c' or `i'
+command and the following backslash, arguments to the `l' command.
+--posix disables all extensions to regular expressions.
+
+* fixed bug in 'i\' giving a segmentation violation if given alone.
+
+* much improved portability
+
+* much faster in UTF-8 locales
+
+* will correctly replace ACLs when using -i
+
+* will now accept NUL bytes for `.'
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.1.5
+
+* fix parsing of a negative character class not including a closed bracket,
+  like [^]] or [^]a-z].
+
+* fix parsing of [ inside an y command, like y/[/A/.
+
+* output the result of commands a, r, R when a q command is found.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.1.4
+
+* \B correctly means "not on a word boundary" rather than "inside a word"
+
+* bugfixes for platform without internationalization
+
+* more thorough testing framework for tarballs (`make full-distcheck')
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.1.3
+
+* regex addresses do not use leftmost-longest matching.  In other words,
+  /.\+/ only looks for a single character, and does not try to find as
+  many of them as possible like it used to do.
+
+* added a note to BUGS and the manual about changed interpretation
+  of `s|abc\|def||', and about localization issues.
+
+* fixed --disable-nls build problems on Solaris.
+
+* fixed `make check' in non-English locales.
+
+* `make check' tests the regex library by default if the included regex
+  is used (regex tests had to be enabled separately up to now).
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.1.2
+
+* fix bug in 'y' command in multi-byte character sets
+
+* fix severe bug in parsing of ranges with an embedded open bracket
+
+* fix off-by-one error when printing a "bad command" error
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.1.1
+
+* preserve permissions of in-place edited files
+
+* yield an error when running -i on terminals or other non regular files
+
+* do not interpret - as stdin when running in in-place editing mode
+
+* fix bug that prevented 's' command modifiers from working
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.1
+
+* // matches the last regular expression even in POSIXLY_CORRECT mode.
+
+* change the way we treat lines which are not terminated by a newline.
+Such lines are printed without the terminating newline (as before)
+but as soon as more text is sent to the same output stream, the
+missing newline is printed, so that the two lines don't concatenate.
+The behavior is now independent from POSIXLY_CORRECT because POSIX
+actually has undefined behavior in this case, and the new implementation
+arguably gives the ``least expected surprise''.  Thanks to Stepan
+Kasal for the implementation.
+
+* documentation improvements, with updated references to the POSIX.2
+specification
+
+* error messages on I/O errors are better, and -i does not leave temporary
+files around (e.g. when running ``sed -i'' on a directory).
+
+* escapes are accepted in the y command (for example: y/o/\n/ transforms
+o's into newlines)
+
+* -i option tries to set the owner and group to the same as the input file
+
+* `L' command is deprecated and will be removed in sed 4.2.
+
+* line number addresses are processed differently -- this is supposedly
+conformant to POSIX and surely more idiot-proof.  Line number addresses
+are not affected by jumping around them: they are activated and
+deactivated exactly where the script says, while previously
+    5,8b
+    1,5d
+would actually delete lines 1,2,3,4 and 9 (!).
+
+* multibyte characters are taken in consideration to compute the
+operands of s and y, provided you set LC_CTYPE correctly.  They are
+also considered by \l, \L, \u, \U, \E.
+
+* [\n] matches either backslash or 'n' when POSIXLY_CORRECT.
+
+* new option --posix, disables all GNU extensions.  POSIXLY_CORRECT only
+disables GNU extensions that violate the POSIX standard.
+
+* options -h and -V are not supported anymore, use --help and --version.
+
+* removed documentation for \s and \S which worked incorrectly
+
+* restored correct behavior for \w and \W: match [[:alnum:]_] and
+[^[:alnum:]_] (they used to match [[:alpha:]_] and [^[:alpha:]_]
+
+* the special address 0 can only be used in 0,/RE/ or 0~STEP addresses;
+other cases give an error (you are hindering portability for no reason
+if specifying 0,N and you are giving a dead command if specifying 0
+alone).
+
+* when a \ is used to escape the character that would terminate an operand
+of the s or y commands, the backslash is removed before the regex is
+compiled.  This is left undefined by POSIX; this behavior makes `s+x\+++g'
+remove occurrences of `x+', consistently with `s/x\///g'.  (However, if
+you enjoy yourself trying `s*x\***g', sed will use the `x*' regex, and you
+won't be able to pass down `x\*' while using * as the delimiter; ideas on
+how to simplify the parser in this respect, and/or gain more coherent
+semantics, are welcome).
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0.9
+
+* 0 address behaves correctly in single-file (-i and -s) mode.
+
+* documentation improvements.
+
+* tested with many hosts and compilers.
+
+* updated regex matcher from upstream, with many bugfixes and speedups.
+
+* the `N' command's feature that is detailed in the BUGS file was disabled
+by the first change below in sed 4.0.8.  The behavior has now been
+restored, and is only enabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT behavior is not
+requested.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0.8
+
+* fix `sed n' printing the last line twice.
+
+* fix incorrect error message for invalid character classes.
+
+* fix segmentation violation with repeated empty subexpressions.
+
+* fix incorrect parsing of ^ after escaped (.
+
+* more comprehensive test suite (and with many expected failures...)
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0.7
+
+* VPATH builds working on non-glibc machines
+
+* fixed bug in s///Np: was printing even if less than N matches were
+found.
+
+* fixed infinite loop on s///N when LHS matched a null string and
+there were not enough matches in pattern space
+
+* behavior of s///N is consistent with s///g when the LHS can match
+a null string (and the infinite loop did not happen :-)
+
+* updated some translations
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0.6
+
+* added parameter to `v' for the version of sed that is expected.
+
+* configure switch --without-included-regex to use the system regex matcher
+
+* fix for -i option under Cygwin
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0.5
+
+* portability fixes
+
+* improvements to some error messages (e.g. y/abc/defg/ incorrectly said
+`excess characters after command' instead of `y arguments have different
+lengths')
+
+* `a', `i', `l', `L', `r' accept two addresses except in POSIXLY_CORRECT
+mode.  Only `q' and `Q' do not accept two addresses in standard (GNU) mode.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0.4
+
+* documentation fixes
+
+* update regex matcher
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0.3
+
+* fix packaging problem (two missing translation catalogs)
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0.2
+
+* more translations
+
+* fix build problems (vpath builds and bootstrap builds)
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0.1
+
+* Remove last vestiges of super-sed
+
+* man page automatically built
+
+* more translations provided
+
+* portability improvements
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 4.0
+
+* Update regex matcher
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 3.96
+
+* `y' command supports multibyte character sets
+
+* Update regex matcher
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 3.95
+
+* `R' command reads a single line from a file.
+
+* CR-LF pairs are always ignored under Windows, even if (under Cygwin)
+a disk is mounted as binary.
+
+* More attention to errors on stdout
+
+* New `W' command to write first line of pattern space to a file
+
+* Can customize line wrap width on single `l' commands
+
+* `L' command formats and reflows paragraphs like `fmt' does.
+
+* The test suite makefiles are better organized (this change is
+transparent however).
+
+* Compiles and bootstraps out-of-the-box under MinGW32 and Cygwin.
+
+* Optimizes cases when pattern space is truncated at its start or at
+its end by `D' or by a substitution command with an empty RHS.
+For example scripts like this,
+
+    seq 1 10000 | tr \\n \  | ./sed ':a; s/^[0-9][0-9]* //; ta'
+
+whose behavior was quadratic with previous versions of sed, have
+now linear behavior.
+
+* New command `e' to pipe the output of a command into the output
+of sed.
+
+* New option `e' to pass the output of the `s' command through the
+Bourne shell and get the result into pattern space.
+
+* Switched to obstacks in the parser -- less memory-related bugs
+(there were none AFAIK but you never know) and less memory usage.
+
+* New option -i, to support in-place editing a la Perl.  Usually one
+had to use ed or, for more complex tasks, resort to Perl; this is
+not necessary anymore.
+
+* Dumped buffering code.  The performance loss is 10%, but it caused
+bugs in systems with CRLF termination.  The current solution is
+not definitive, though.
+
+* Bug fix: Made the behavior of s/A*/x/g (i.e. `s' command with a
+possibly empty LHS) more consistent:
+
+       pattern               GNU sed 3.x       GNU sed 4.x
+        B                      xBx               xBx
+        BC                     xBxCx             xBxCx
+        BAC                    xBxxCx            xBxCx
+        BAAC                   xBxxCx            xBxCx
+
+* Bug fix: the // empty regular expressions now refers to the last
+regular expression that was matched, rather than to the last
+regular expression that was compiled.  This richer behavior seems
+to be the correct one (albeit neither one is POSIXLY_CORRECT).
+
+* Check for invalid backreferences in the RHS of the `s' command
+(e.g. s/1234/\1/)
+
+* Support for \[lLuUE] in the RHS of the `s' command like in Perl.
+
+* New regular expression matcher
+
+* Bug fix: if a file was redirected to be stdin, sed did not consume
+it.  So
+      (sed d; sed G) < TESTFILE
+
+double-spaced TESTFILE, while the equivalent `useless use of cat'
+      cat TESTFILE | (sed d; sed G)
+
+printed nothing (which is the correct behavior).  A test for this
+bug was added to the test suite.
+
+* The documentation is now much better, with a few examples provided,
+and a thorough description of regular expressions.  The manual often
+refers to "GNU extensions", but if they are described here they are
+specific to this version.
+
+* Documented command-line option:
+  -r, --regexp-extended
+    Use extended regexps -- e.g. (abc+) instead of \(abc\+\)
+
+* Added feature to the `w' command and to the `w' option of the `s'
+command: if the file name is /dev/stderr, it means the standard
+error (inspired by awk); and similarly for /dev/stdout.  This is
+disabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
+
+* Added `m' and `M' modifiers to `s' command for multi-line
+matching (Perl-style); in addresses, only `M' works.
+
+* Added `Q' command for `silent quit'; added ability to pass
+an exit code from a sed script to the caller.
+
+* Added `T' command for `branch if failed'.
+
+* Added `v' command, which is a do-nothing intended to fail on
+seds that do not support GNU sed 4.0's extensions.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 3.02.80
+
+* Started new version nomenclature for pre-3.03 releases.  (I'm being
+pessimistic in assuming that .90 won't give me enough breathing room.)
+
+* Bug fixes: the regncomp()/regnexec() interfaces proved to be inadequate to
+properly handle expressions such as "s/\</#/g".  Re-abstracted the regex
+code in the sed/ tree, and now use the re_search_2() interface to the GNU
+regex routines.  This change also fixed a bug where /./ did not match the
+NUL character.  Had the glibc folk fix a bug in lib/regex.c where
+'s/0*\([0-9][0-9]\)/X\1X/' failed to match on input "002".
+
+* Added new command-line options:
+  -u, --unbuffered
+    Do not attempt to read-ahead more than required; do not buffer stdout.
+  -l N, --line-length=N
+    Specify the desired line-wrap length for the `l' command.
+    A length of "0" means "never wrap".
+
+* New internationalization translations added: fr ru de it el sk pt_BR sv
+(plus nl from 3.02a).
+
+* The s/// command now understands the following escapes
+(in both halves):
+	\a	an "alert" (BEL)
+	\f	a form-feed
+	\n	a newline
+	\r	a carriage-return
+	\t	a horizontal tab
+	\v	a vertical tab
+	\oNNN	a character with the octal value NNN
+	\dNNN	a character with the decimal value NNN
+	\xNN	a character with the hexadecimal value NN
+This behavior is disabled if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, at least for the
+time being (until I can be convinced that this behavior does not violate
+the POSIX standard).  (Incidentally, \b (backspace) was omitted because
+of the conflict with the existing "word boundary" meaning. \ooo octal
+format was omitted because of the conflict with backreference syntax.)
+
+* If POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, the empty RE // now is the null match
+instead of "repeat the last REmatch".  As far as I can tell
+this behavior is mandated by POSIX, but it would break too many
+legacy sed scripts to blithely change GNU sed's default behavior.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Sed 3.02a
+
+* Added internationalization support, and an initial (already out of date)
+set of Dutch message translations (both provided by Erick Branderhorst).
+
+* Added support for scripts like:
+ sed -e 1ifoo -e '$abar'
+(note no need for \ <newline> after a, i, and c commands).
+Also, conditionally (on NO_INPUT_INDENT) added
+experimental support for skipping leading whitespace on
+each {a,i,c} input line.
+
+* Added addressing of the form:
+ /foo/,+5 p (print from foo to 5th line following)
+ /foo/,~5 p (print from foo to next line whose line number is a multiple of 5)
+The first address of these can be any of the previously existing
+addressing types; the +N and ~N forms are only allowed as the
+second address of a range.
+
+* Added support for pseudo-address "0" as the first address in an
+address-range, simplifying scripts which happen to match the end
+address on the first line of input.  For example, a script
+which deletes all lines from the beginning of the file to the
+first line which contains "foo" is now simply "sed 0,/foo/d",
+whereas before one had to go through contortions to deal with
+the possibility that "foo" might appear on the first line of
+the input.
+
+* Made NUL characters in regexps work "correctly" --- i.e., a NUL
+in a RE matches a NUL; it does not prematurely terminate the RE.
+(This only works in -f scripts, as the POSIX.1 exec*() interface
+only passes NUL-terminated strings, and so sed will only be able
+to see up to the first NUL in any -e scriptlet.)
+
+* Wherever a `;' is accepted as a command terminator, also allow a `}'
+or a `#' to appear.  (This allows for less cluttered-looking scripts.)
+
+* Lots of internal changes that are only relevant to source junkies
+and development testing.  Some of which might cause imperceptible
+performance improvements.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+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 portability
+enhancements, 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 compatibility.  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.
