This is the change summary for the NEdit 5.0 MV patch 3.

It can be downloaded from:

  ftp://ftp.rational.com/exchange/outgoing/maxv/nedit/5.0
  ftp://ftp.fnal.gov/pub/nedit/v5_0/contrib/max/5.0

Features:

Fixes:
 * Fixed core dump if no pass1 patterns.
 * Updated the file open read-only logic. If open read/write fails
   we unconditionally try to open the file read-only instead of only
   trying read-only if the errno was EACCES. This fixes a bug where you
   could not view files on a read-only filesystem.
 * Added EOF and EOS here document, and pod support to the perl patterns.
 * Updated the sh patterns.
 * Fixed missing Sh Ksh Bash syntax highlighting patterns.
