OpenVi 7.0.15

on GitHub

Changes since 7.0.12

• Avoid O_PATH clash in source proper (rather than via awk script)
• Remove deprecated interpreter internals documentation
• Actually use pledge() for SerenityOS and OpenBSD 5.9 or later
• Add superstrip (aka sstrip) GNUmakefile target to aggressively strip the compiled binary using sstrip if available
• Add upx GNUmakefile target to compress the compiled binary using upx if available
• Cosmetic clean-up of GNUmakefile and normalize to 79-columns
• Add support for MSYS2, tested with MSYS2 on Windows 11 (x86_64)
• Add support for Cygwin, tested with Cygwin64 on Windows 11 (x86_64)
• Update README.md to document usage for LIBS variable, correct OPTFLAGS to OPTLEVEL, expand external links and information, add citations regarding past multibyte efforts, use fancy quotes, and correctly state that the traditional ex / vi was part of the first Berkeley Software Distribution, mention OpenBSD's standard secure coding practices, safe(r) functions, and ISC license
• Respect LIBS to set/override the default libraries for linking
• Make failure to strip non-fatal; fixes install-strip and strip in the case where ./bin/vi is un-strippable (i.e. bin/vi is upx compressed or missing section headers from sstriping)
• Fixes for vi recovery mode. From trondd@, tested by various, ok afresh1@; this advances OpenBSD release date to 02/20/2022
• Update .gitignore to add compile_commands.json
• Suppress a few possible warnings
• Since HiDPI screens are more common, allow terminal dimensions of 3640x2048; this might need to be further extended for 4K displays

• NOTE: For technical reasons, there were no official 7.0.13 or 7.0.14 releases.
