0.9.5

ed is the standard text editor.

JakED is a clean room reimplementation of ed for Windows.

It supports most ed commands as you know them, including shell bangs and scripting capabilities.

The reason I've reimplemented it from scratch is because I couldn't find a fully working version for Windows that resembles the beauty and minimalism of UNIX ed. While there, I've added QOL stuff like "filter through shell command" capabilities, infinite undo levels, optional "join character" to the j command.

There are still minor things to be done (the biggest one is performance), but it's mostly usable at this point. See TODO

Edit like it's 1973!

Changes:

• improved online help to show all commands

You will find a zip package with JakED.exe and documentation and all that, but also the raw .exe. I very occasionally need to download the .exe in Windows containers to get any text editor, so it's more for me than for you 😄.
