56 moreutils (0.60) unstable; urgency=medium
58 * New implementation of isutf8 by Julien Palard.
59 - Noncharacters (ending with 0xFFFF and 0xFFFE) were considered
60 invalid when encoded in utf8, according to the unicode standard
61 they are valid: "However, they are not illegal in interchange, nor
62 does their presence cause Unicode text to be ill-formed."
63 - \xf4\xbf\xbf\xbf was considered valid UTF8, which is not: after
64 0xF4 the following byte should be between 80 and 8F.
65 - This implementation does not try to decode the stream, so it checks
67 - Add --list option. Closes: #691330

365 - Check for control characters (especially newlines) in filenames
366 and error out, since this can greatly confuse the editor or vidir.
367 - If the source of a rename does not exist (and thus the rename will fail
368 anyway), vidir should not move an existing target file to a tmpfile.
369 - If a directory is renamed, vidir should take that into account when
370 renaming files in this directory.
371 - If a directory name is passed as name/ to vidir, vidir should not
372 add second slash after the name.
373 * vidir: Add support for unlinking directories. To recursivly delete
374 a directory and its contents, pipe find to vidir, and delete the directory
375 and its contents in the editor. Closes: #412176
