1 Mini-sed is a smaller, cheaper, faster SED implementation.
2 Minix uses it. GNU used to use it, until they built their own sed
3 around an extended (some would say over-extended) regexp package.
5 For embedded use we searched for a tiny sed implementation especially
6 for use with the dietlibc and found Eric S. Raymond's sed implementation
7 quite handy.
8 Though it suffered several bugs and was not under active maintenance
9 anymore. After sending a bunch of fixes we agreed to continue maintaining
10 this lovely, historic sed implementation.
12 Along a lot of fixes and cleanups, further speedups, and some missing
13 features and POSIX conformance, we also added a test-suite to the package,
14 so regressions are quickly and easily uncovered.
