Description

Hi,

I tried the installer/upgrade_versions.sh and get an exception when the README.md s are processed. "sed: -e expression #1, char XX: Invalid preceding regular expression".

I used

   sed (GNU sed) 4.8 on Windows
   sed (GNU sed) 4.7 on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS.

 

If I escape the asterisk it works for me.

  Old:  sed -i 's/*Current version:* ./Current version:* '$NEW_VERSION'/g' ./$opt/README.md

 New:  sed -i 's/**Current version:** .*/**Current version:** '$NEW_VERSION'/g' ./$opt/README.md

 

Do you know if this is a geral solution or just for my environments?
