| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 1 Mini-sed is a smaller, cheaper, faster SED implementation. |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 2 Minix uses it. GNU used to use it, until they built their own sed |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 3 around an extended (some would say over-extended) regexp package. |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 4 |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 5 For embedded use we searched for a tiny sed implementation especially |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 6 for use with the dietlibc and found Eric S. Raymond's sed implementation |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 7 quite handy. |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 8 Though it suffered several bugs and was not under active maintenance |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 9 anymore. After sending a bunch of fixes we agreed to continue maintaining |

| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 11 |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 12 Along a lot of fixes and cleanups, further speedups, and some missing |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 13 features and POSIX conformance, we also added a test-suite to the package, |
| Hans-G?nter@24907 | 14 so regressions are quickly and easily uncovered. |
