From the FM announcement:

Changes: This version corrects a bug related to bash-2.05. You now
have to use s||| instead of s/// in the sed invocation to support
filenames which contain slashes. Several fixes are also included.

I haven't tracked down whether that sed change means the user-written
files must change, or it is internal. It just stuck in my mind as a red
flag when I read it.
