* Noteworthy changes in release 4.9 (2022-11-06) [stable]
** Bug fixes
'sed --follow-symlinks -i' no longer loops forever when its operand
is a symbolic link cycle.
[bug introduced in sed 4.2]
a program with an execution line longer than 2GB can no longer trigger
an out-of-bounds memory write.
using the R command to read an input line of length longer than 2GB
can no longer trigger an out-of-bounds memory read.
In locales using UTF-8 encoding, the regular expression '.' no
longer sometimes fails to match Unicode characters U+D400 through
U+D7FF (some Hangul Syllables, and Hangul Jamo Extended-B) and
Unicode characters U+108000 through U+10FFFF (half of Supplemental
Private Use Area plane B).
[bug introduced in sed 4.8]
I/O errors involving temp files no longer confuse sed into using a
FILE * pointer after fclosing it, which has undefined behavior in C.
** New Features
The 'r' command now accepts address 0, allowing inserting a file before
the first line.
** Changes in behavior
Sed now prints the less-surprising variant in a corner case of
POSIX-unspecified behavior. Before, this would print "n".
Now, it prints "X":
printf n | sed 'sn\nnXn'; echo
