- bump version 443
* Change search behavior such that when a search is given an explicit pattern,
the entire displayed screen is included in the search and not just the
portion after the target line.
* Add -A option to change search behavior to the old way: only the portion of
the screen after the target line is searched.
* Add %F formatting to prompt strings, replaced by the last component of the
input file.
* Control-G while editing a command exits the command.
* Less now exits with status 2 if control-C is pressed and -K is in effect.
* Fix "ungetc overflow" when passing long commands via the -p option.
* Fix bug in using line filtering via the & command in combination with -i and
-I.
* Fix bug in handling negative arguments to the -j option.
* Fix bug in handling %t in prompt strings.
* Improve handling of long option names.
* Improve percentage calculation for very large files.
- remove mouse patch because
* conflicting short opt -A since version 443, see changes above
* was working for xterm only so probably nobody is using it (forwarded request 71702 from rudi_m)

Dear user, the 'less' application, thanks to its preprocessor, is able to show even binary formats using calls to external commands. Since not every user finds this feature plausible, you have the opportunity to customize behavior of 'less' using the environment variable LESS_ADVANCED_PREPROCESSOR. By default, it's set to "no" in /etc/profile -- thus if you require less to handle binary formats, set this in your startup scripts: export LESS_ADVANCED_PREPROCESSOR="yes" Remark for experienced users: If you had already set this switch and want to temporarily override it, you can force 'less' to read a file from its standard input instead, e.g.: less < dumb.ps will show the source PostScript, and not the "rendered" result.
