The changes in this release are: - The utilities will now ask interactively for a password if it was not provided with the -s command line option. This avoids security problems related to shell history files. - Support for octal and hexadecimal numbers has been added. They can be used in both the records and selection expressions. - It is now possible to select a given number of random records in many of the utilities using the -m command line option. - The -n option now accepts a list of indexes, supporting ranges. - The new -U (uniq) option for recsel removes duplicated fields in the output records. - The new -q (quick) option allows to quickly search for the desired record without having to provide a complete selection expression. - Auto generated fields are now considered integers by default. This avoids repetitive patterns in record descriptors involving %auto and %type. - Tab characters are now allowed in blank lines betwwen records. - The API in rec.h is now better documented with comments, and improved. - recfix now exits with an error status if there is a parse error in some input file. - The usage of the internal data structures has been _vastly_ improved, resulting in a much faster operation. - Internal cleanup and code factorization. - Many, many, many bug fixes :D
