Description

New version of Less. Works for me.

        Major changes between "less" versions 418 and 424

* New "&" command allows filtering of lines based on a pattern.

* Status column now displays a search match, even if the matched
  string is scrolled off screen because -S is in effect.

* Improve behavior of -F option.

* Allow CSI character (0x9B) to work in UTF-8 mode.

* Output carriage return at startup in case terminal doesn't default
  to column 1.

* Fix bug in '' (quote, quote) command after G command.

Sorry. I forgot to mention this is a Beta release.

Hi Robert,

At the upstream author's request to not release this to a wider user base as part of a general release (http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/beta-423.html), I'm closing this as WONTFIX. It's been in beta for over 6 months now, and I don't want to have to (remember to) revert to a previous version if we decide to do a release before Less gets another stable release.

Thanks,

Matt.
