Rx, version 1.0, is now available.
Copies can be obtained by ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu:pub/gnu/rx-1.0.tar.gz
and from other sites (see the list of mirror sites at the end of this
message).
Rx is an implementation of the standard regular expression matching
functions specified by POSIX.2 (and then some).
The distribution now includes a texinfo manual.
The largest change in this version of Rx is an algorithmic improvement
based on advice from Henry Spencer. The resulting matcher is often a
little slower than older versions of Rx, but more importantly, where
older versions of Rx used unreasonable amounts of time or space, the
new version gives reasonable performance.
Older versions of Rx included implementations of the standard GNU
regexp entry points, as well as of the traditional BSD entry points.
In the interest of saving time, these have not been ported to Rx 1.0,
though contributions of implementations are welcome.
This version of Rx has been built and tested on Linux.
Please report bugs to bug-gnu-utils@prep.ai.mit.edu.
[ Most GNU software is packed using the GNU `gzip' compression program.
Source code is available on most sites distributing GNU software.
For information on how to order GNU software on tape, floppy or cd-rom, or
printed GNU manuals, check the file etc/ORDERS in the GNU Emacs
distribution, ftp the file /pub/gnu/GNUinfo/ORDERS on prep, or
e-mail a request to: gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu
By ordering your GNU software from the FSF, you help us continue to
develop more free software. Media revenues are our primary source of
support. Donations to FSF are deductible on US tax returns.
The above software will soon be at these ftp sites as well.
Please try them before prep.ai.mit.edu as prep is very busy!
