I am happy to announce the release of Zile 2.3.20,
the tiny Emacs clone.

This release fixes a potential buffer overflow, search and replace
with embedded NULs, a bug in the build system (the Zile-only tests now
run correctly when an EMACS environment variable is defined), and a
bug introduced in 2.3.17 which caused consecutive kills not to save
the killed text (thanks to Chris Leyon for the report). Some code was
cleaned up and better use made of gnulib. The build scripts that were
previously in Lua have been rewritten in Perl; Perl is now required to
build Zile (previously, Lua was not required, at the expense of making
the build system more complicated and fragile). A cyclomatic
complexity report on the C code can now be produced.
