  • It is no longer required that the locale encoding is UTF-8.

New in Dos2Unix 7.1 (Oct 14, 2014)

  • New option -i, --info, display file information. This new option prints number of line breaks (DOS Unix Mac), the byte order mark, and if the file is text or binary. It can also print the names of files that would be converted.

New in Dos2Unix 6.0.4 (Jan 4, 2014)

  • man.nro: New file.
  • NEWS: New file.
  • man.c: Borland C port from Erwin Waterlander, [email protected] or [email protected]. (add_page): Fix a bug in memory allocation for the pages[] array. (display_page): Leave spaces around "or" between the two program names. (set_flags): Don't leak file handles if fgets fails to read, close the file unconditionally. Fix the diagnostic message. (try_directory) [__TURBOC__]: Compare `man' and `cat' directory names and file names returned by `readdir' case-insensitively. `struct dirent' lacks the d_namlen member, fix with `strlen'. (man_entry): Free `curdir' after usage. (main): Free pages[] before exiting.
  • contrib/*: New files, for portability to Borland C.

New in Dos2Unix 6.0.4 Beta 5 (Dec 13, 2013)

  • Build Windows 32 bit version with Large File Support (LFS), this fixes problems with (huge) files on network shares.
  • Update Russian messages.
  • Added placeholder for Russian translation of manual.

New in Dos2Unix 6.0.3 (Dec 12, 2013)

  • CC and CPP can be overridden by environment.
  • CFLAGS optimization flags can be overridden by environment
  • Separate LIBS from LDFLAGS
  • Makefile: Set CC to gcc for MSYS target. Otherwise /mingw/bin/cc is used
  • dos2unix.c/unix2dos.c: Print value of binary symbol when found
  • dos2unix.c/unix2dos.c: New options -ul and -ub to convert UTF-16 files without BOM
  • po/de.po: Update German translations. Thanks to Lars Wendler
  • po/ru.po: New Russian translation of the messages
  • man/man1/Makefile: Support non-Latin1 man pages.
  • Makefile: Support non-Latin1 man pages.
  • man/nonlatin/man1/ru/dos2unix.pod: Placeholder for Russian manual
  • Makefile: By default don't build non-Latin1 manuals. There are still too many old perl/pod2man versions around (perl < 5.10.1). Add MAN_NONLATIN=1 to enable non-Latin1 manuals
  • Makefile: Set MAN_NONLATIN back to 1. Include non-Latin manuals in source package to prevent compilation troubles. Target 'clean' keeps non-Latin manuals. Use 'maintainer-clean' to erase them
  • mingw32.mak: New makefile for MinGW-w64 targeting win32. MinGW-w64 supports Large File Support (LFS) with -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 while mingw.org doesn't. A user reported failures when concurrent dos2unix processes processed huge files on Windows network share drives. Using MinGW-w64 with LFS support fixed the problem
  • Makefile, common.c: When MinGW-w64 is used for 32 bit, option -V prints (MinGW-w64) for used compiler name
