• Lots of bug fixes

I’d like to thank all of the contributors of this release, most importantly:

• Tim Hentenaar for all of the fixes and refactoring he’s done in his branch
• Petr Písař, who maintains GNU indent in Red Hat and its derivatives, who’s submitted a lot of fixes and kept supporting users on the mailing list when I couldn’t
• Santiago Vila, who maintains GNU indent in Debian
• Daniel P. Valentine, who helped me a lot when I initially took over the maintenance of GNU indent
• And lots of others who submitted their patches
