It appears this change was intentional. The ChangeLog references this bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27716 It appears that the decision was made for the interest of remaining compatible with other software that the original form was better. Question would be whether we should add an option to change this behavior? And if so is there a reason why the multiline form is preferred (ie. easier for a human to read). -- Michael Petch GNU Backgammon Maintainer / Developer OpenPGP FingerPrint=D81C 6A0D 987E 7DA5 3219 6715 466A 2ACE 5CAE 3304 _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
