      * New upstream
        Closes: #804025
      * These are the differences between version 458 and version 481:
        - Don't overwrite history file; just append to it. This behaves
          better when multiple sessions are running less simultaneously and
          using the same history file.
        - New command ESC-G goes to end of currently buffered data in a pipe.
        - Disable history feature when compiled with LESSHISTFILE set to "-".
        - In more-compatible mode, make the -p option apply to every file
          opened, not just the first one.
        - In more-compatible mode, change the -e option to work like -E,
          not -EF.
        - Treat multiple CRs before LF are like one CR (all the CRs are
          hidden).
        - Allow "extra" string in lesskey file to append to a multi-char
          command (like a search pattern), without executing the command.
        - Ignore -u/-U setting while viewing help file, so that underline
          and bold chars are displayed correctly.
        - Improve detection of "binary" files in UTF-8 mode.
        - Fix bug with ++ commands.
        - Fix bug where prompt was sometimes not displayed with +G.
        - Fix possible memory corruption
        - Fix bugs and improve performance in ampersand filtering.
        - Allow %% escape sequence in LESSOPEN variable.
        - Automate construction of Unicode tables from Unicode database.

Upload to unstable    Major changes between "less" versions 436 and 443    - Change search behavior such that when a search is given an explicit       pattern, the entire displayed screen is included in the search and       not just the portion after the target line.    - Add -A option to change search behavior to the old way: only      the portion of the screen after the target line is searched.    - Add %F formatting to prompt strings, replaced by the last component      of the input file.    - Control-G while editing a command exits the command.    - Less now exits with status 2 if control-C is pressed and -K is in effect.    - Fix "ungetc overflow" when passing long commands via the -p option.    - Fix bug in using line filtering via the & command       in combination with -i and -I.    - Fix bug in handling negative arguments to the -j option.    - Fix bug in handling %t in prompt strings.    - Improve handling of long option names.    - Improve percentage calculation for very large files.  * Debian policy version is 3.9.2 -- Anibal Monsalve Salazar <email address hidden>  Wed, 13 Apr 2011 12:53:32 +1000
