da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a. If IFS contains two consecutive identical characters belonging
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin to the [:space:] class, then this character is treated as
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a non-space delimiter so that each instance will delimit
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a field. For example, IFS=$'\t\t' will cause two consecutive
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin tabs to delimit a null field.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin b. The getopts command has a -a name option that specifies a
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin name that will be used for usage messages.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin2. New features in 12/28/93e
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a. The math functions, atan2, hypot, fmod, and pow were added.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin b. When a shared library is loaded, if the function lib_init()
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin is defined in the library, it is invoked the first time that
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the library is loaded with builtin -f library.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin3. New features in 12/28/93f
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a. Hostnames in addition to host addresses can be given in
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin /dev/tcp/host/port virtual file names.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin b. File name completion and expansion now quotes special
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin characters in file names from both emacs and vi edit modes.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin4. New features in 12/28/93g
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a. The pipefail option has been added. With pipefail
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin enabled, a pipeline will not complete until all
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin commands are complete, and the return value will
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin be that of the last command to fail, or zero if
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin all complete successfully.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin b. When an executable is found on a given path,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the appropriate library path variable is prepended
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin with a corresponding library directory.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin5. New features in 12/28/93h
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a. The PATH search algorithm has been modified to look
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin for a file named .fpath in each bin directory and if
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin found, to search for functions in this directory if
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin it cannot find the command in that directory.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin b. When performing pathname expansion, the shell checks
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin to see whether each directory it reads is case sensitive
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin or not, and performs the matching accordingly.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin c. The %T format for printing formatted date/time.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin6. New features in 12/28/93i
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a. Most of the built-in commands and ksh itself are now
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin self documenting. Running command --man will produce
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin screen output. Running command --html produces the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin man page in html format.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin b. The getopts builtin can process command description
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin strings to produce man pages.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a. An expansion bug which causes portions of a word after
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a $((...)) expansion that contains a nested $var expansion
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin to be lost has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin b. A bug that caused a core dump when a script that did not
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin have PWD set and did a cd inside command substitution

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin now reports that foo isn't found rather than invoking foo.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin g. The previous version incorrectly listed -A as an
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin invocation option. The -A option is only for set.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin h. A bug was fixed which caused ksh to loop when execution trace

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin i. A bug which could cause the job control switch character
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin to be disabled when a script that enabled monitor mode

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin has been fixed.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin additional pointer argument that is passed to each invoked
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin function.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin is an argument list for the invoked discipline function
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin or built-in.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin k. A callback function can be installed which will give
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin notification of file duplications and file closes.
