Changelog

joe (3.7-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fix the crash when typing too many dashes on a line, d'oh,
    cherry-picked upstream CVS fix for uformat.c by Joseph Allen, and
    fixed that in turn to actually assign the value of x to orgx, silly,
    closes: #508159.
  * Fix the various segfaults when called with more than one file, d'oh.
    Thanks to Oyvind Aabling for a patch, but actually it seems that
    this was a copy&waste error that crept up into the 3.7 tarball yet
    was coded properly in CVS (main.c r1.79), so simply used that line
    from the CVS version, closes: #514512.
  * Fix the Ins key for jstar users by replacing the obsolete marker
    "overtype" with "overwrite" in rc/jstarrc.in, thanks to Adam Borowski,
    closes: #508797.
  * Fix the matching of python<numbered> interpreters in rc/ftyperc,
    thanks to Piotr Engelking, closes: #549277.
  * Undo the mail formatting horror by reverting to the 3.5-2 (lenny)
    version of syntax/mail.jsf.in. Neither the upstream commits nor the
    NEWS file really explain the benefits of the new stuff, I only see
    the bugs and all the excess red that's making me nauseous, too,
    closes: #597825.
  * Update standards version to 3.9.1.
    + Update menu section from Apps/Editors to Applications/Editors. (3.7.3)
    + Add Homepage field. (3.8.0)
  * Declare 1.0 in debian/source/format explicitly.

joe: user friendly full screen text editor

 Joe, the Joe's Own Editor, has the feel of most PC text editors: the key
 sequences are reminiscent of WordStar and Turbo C editors, but the feature
 set is much larger than of those. Joe has all of the features a Unix
 user should expect: full use of termcap/terminfo, complete VI-style Unix
 integration, a powerful configuration file, and regular expression search
 system. It also has six help reference cards which are always available,
 and an intuitive, simple, and well thought-out user interface.
 .
 Joe has a great screen update optimization algorithm, multiple windows
 (through/between which you can scroll) and lacks the confusing notion of
 named buffers. It has command history, TAB expansion in file selection
 menus, undo and redo functions, (un)indenting and paragraph formatting,
 filtering highlighted blocks through any external Unix command, editing
 a pipe into or out of a command, and block move, copy, delete or filter.
 .
 Through simple QEdit-style configuration files, Joe can be set up to
 emulate editors such as Pico and Emacs, along with a complete imitation
 of WordStar, and a restricted mode version (lets you edit only the files
 specified on the command line). Joe also has a deferred screen update to
 handle typeahead, and it ensures that deferral is not bypassed by tty
 buffering. It's usable even at 2400 baud, and it will work on any
 kind of sane terminal.
