da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin identifier names has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin07-02-19 A bug introduced in ksh93 that causes global compound variable
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin definitions inside functions to exit with "no parent" has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin07-02-19 A bug in which using compound commands in process redirection
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin arguments would give syntax errors <(...) and >(...) has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin07-01-29 A bug which caused the shell to core dump which can occur when a
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin built-in exits without closing files that it opens has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin07-01-26 A bug in which ~(E) in patterns containing \ that are not inside ()
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin has been fixed.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin substitution has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-12-22 /dev/(tcp|udp|sctp)/HOST/SEVRICE now handles IPv6 addresses on
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin systems that provide getaddrinfo(3).
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-12-19 A -v option was added to read. With this option the value of
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the first variable name argument will become the default value
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin when read from a terminal device.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-11-20 A bug in which "${foo[@]:1}}" expands a null argument (instead of
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin no argument), when foo[0] is not empty has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-11-16 The discipline functions have been modified to allow each subscript
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin to act independently. Currently the discipline function will not
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin be called when called from a discipline function of the same variable.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-11-14 A bug which could cause a core dump if a file descriptor for
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin an internal file was closed from with a subshell has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-30 The redirections <# pattern, and <## pattern have been added.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin Both seek forward to the beginning of the next line that contains
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the pattern. The <## form copies the skipped portion to standard
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-26 On systems that support stream control transport, the virtual file
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin name /dev/sctp/host/port can now be used to establish connections.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-26 The printf modifier # when used with d produces units in thousands
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin with a single letter suffix added. The modifier # when used with
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the i specification provides units of 1024 with a two letter suffix.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-24 The value of $! is now set to the process id of a job put
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin into the background with the bg command as required by POSIX.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-23 A bug in which the value of $! was affected by a background
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin job started from a subshell has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-23 A bug in ${var:offset:len} in multibyte locales has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-15 The remaining math functions from C99 were added for any system
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin that supports them.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-13 The klockwork.com software detected a few coding errors that

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-11 A bug in process floating constants produced by the %a format
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin of printf has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-06 A bug in which IFS was not being restored correctly in some
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin cases after a subshell has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-06 A bug in which pipefail was not detecting some failures in
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin pipelines with 3 or more states has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-03 A bug in the processing of >(...) with builtins which could
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin cause the builtin to hang has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-10-03 A bug in the for loop optimizer which causes >(...) process
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin substitution to be ignored has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-09-17 The -a option was added to typeset for indexed arrays. This
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin is only needed when using the ([subscript]=value ...) form.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-09-06 The showme option was added. Each simple command not beginning
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin with a redirection and not occurring with in the while, until, if,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin select condition can be preceded by a semi-colon which will
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin be ignored when showme is off. When showme is on, any command
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin preceded by a colon will be traced but not executed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-08-16 As a new feature, a leading ~(N) on a pattern has no effect
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin except when used for file expansion. In this case if not
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin matches are found, the pattern is replaced by nothing rather
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin than itself.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-08-11 A bug in the expansion of ${.sh.match[i]:${#.shmatch[i]}} has

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-08-10 The read builtin options -n and -N have been modified to treat
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the size as characters rather than bytes unless storing into a
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin binary (typeset -B) variable.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-07-27 When the here document operator << is followed directly by a #
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin rather than a -, the first line of the here-document determines
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin how much whitespace is removed for each line.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-07-26 A bug in the C-shell history (enabled with set -H) in which the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin history event !$ was not processed has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-07-21 A bug on some systems in which assigning PATH on a command line
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin would not take effect has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-07-20 Add ksh93 and rksh93 as allowable names for ksh binaries.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-07-20 Removed the SHOPT_OO compilation option which was only partially
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin implemented.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-07-20 The ability to use egrep, grep, and fgrep expressions within
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin shell patterns has been documented.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-07-17 A bug with arithmetic command expressions for locales in which
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the comma is a thousands separator has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-07-13 The default HISTSIZE was increased from 128 to 512.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-23 A number of bug fixes for command, file, and variable completion
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin have been mode.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-20 Floating point division by zero now yields the constant Inf or -Inf
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and floating functions with invalid arguments yield NaN.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-20 The floating point constants Inf and NaN can be used in arithmetic
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin expressions.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-20 The functions isinf(), isnan(), tanhl() have been added for
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin arithmetic expressions.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-13 Internal change to use ordering for variables instead of hashing
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin to speed up prefix matching.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-13 A window between fork/exec in which a signal could get lost
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and cause a program to hang has been eliminated
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-13 A bug in edit completion with quoted strings has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-07 The restricted options can now be enabled by set as well as on
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the command line. Once set, it can not be disabled.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-04 Modified built-in binding so that for systems for which /bin
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and /usr/bin are the same, a builtin bound to /bin will get
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin selected when either /bin or /usr/bin is scanned.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-06-04 Added literal-next character processing for emacs/gmacs mode.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin This change is not compatible with earlier versions of ksh93
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and ksh88 when the stty lnext is control-v. The sequence
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin escape-control-v will display the shell version.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-05-31 Modified emacs and vi mode so that entering a TAB after a partial
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin TAB completion, generates a listing of possible completions.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin After the second TAB, a number followed by a TAB will perform
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the completion with the corresponding item.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-05-19 Modified arithmetic so that conversions to strings default to
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the maximum number of precision digits.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-05-10 The =~ operator was added to [[...]] and [[ string ~= ERE ]]
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin is equivalent to [[ string == ~(E)ERE ]].
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-04-25 A bug in the vi edit mode which could cause the shell to core dump
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin when switching from emacs mode.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-04-17 A bug in which using LANG or LC_ in assignment lists with builtins
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin did not restore the localed correctly has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-04-04 A bug in which discipline functions could not be added to variables
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin whose names started with .sh has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-03-28 The -s option to typeset was added to modify -i to indicate short
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-03-28 A bug in which variables assignment lists before functions
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin defined with function name were not passed on the functions
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin invoked by this function has been fixed.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin (output) pipe to close before reading from (after writing to)
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin it has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-02-28 A bug in which stopping a job created with the hist builtin command
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin would create a job that could not be restarted has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin06-01-24 --- Release ksh93r ---

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin05-12-24 A bug which could lead to a core dump when elements of a compound
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin variable were array elements, i.e. foo=(bar=(1 2)), has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin05-12-13 An arithmetic bug in which x+=y+=z was not working has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin05-12-13 An arithmetic bug in which x||y was returning x when x was non-zero
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin rather than 1 has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin05-12-07 The aliases for integer and float have been changed to use attributes
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin -li and -lE to handle long long and long double types.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin05-12-07 The histexpand (-H) option has been added which allows C-shell
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin style history expansions using the history character !.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin05-12-07 The multiline option was added which changes that way the edit
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin modes handle lines longer than the window width. Instead of
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin horizontal scrolling, multiple lines on the screen are used.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin05-12-05 The whence builtin now returns an absolute pathname when the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin command is found in the current directory.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin05-11-29 A bug which caused ksh -c '[[ ! ((' to core dump rather than

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin05-11-22 The ability to seek to an offset within a file has been added
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin with the new I/O redirection operators, <# and >#. Currently,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin these redirection operators must be followed by ((expr))
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin but in a future release, it should be able to used to seek forward
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin to the specified shell pattern. In addition $(n<#) expands to the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin current byte offset for file descriptor n.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin any directory in PATH, now allows a line of the form 'BUILTIN_LIB=.'
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin When a command is searched for this directory, and the full path
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin matches the path of the built-in version of the command (listed
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin by the 'builtin' command) then the built-in version of the command
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin is used. When ksh is built with SHOPT_CMDLIB_DIR=1 then all libcmd
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin functions become builtins with the '/opt/ast/bin/' directory prefix.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin04-10-05 The .paths file, introduced in ksh93m, which can appear in
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin any directory in PATH, now allows a line of the form
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin 'BUILTIN_LIB=libname'. When a command is searched for this directory,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the shared library named by libname will first be searched for a
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin built-in version of the command.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin04-08-04 printf %q was modified so that if an no operand was supplied, no
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin no output would be generated rather than a quoted empty string.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin04-08-01 The -n and -N options of the read builtin has been modified
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin when reading variables with the binary attribute so that the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin data is stored directly rather than through assignment.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin04-08-01 The shcomp command has been modified to process alias commands

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin04-06-17 The -t option to read was modified to allow seconds to be
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin specified as any arithmetic expression rather than just
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin an integral number of seconds, for example even -t 'sin(.5)'
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin is now valid.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-12-05 A bug in which the shell could hang when set -x tracing a command
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin when an invalid multibyte character is encountered has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-12-05 On some systems, if the KEYBD trap is set, then commands that use
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the meta key were not processed until return was hit. This
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-12-05 A problem which occurred when the login shell was not a group
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin leader that could cause it to fail has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-12-05 A problem in which a shell could core dump after receiving a signal
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin that should cause it to terminate while it was in the process
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin of acquiring more space has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-12-05 If ENV is not specified, the shell will default to $HOME/.kshrc
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin for interactive shells.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-11-21 A bug introduced in ksh93o in which the DEBUG trap could get

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-11-04 A bug in which using arithmetic prefix operators ++ or -- on a
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin non-lvalue could cause a core dump has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-11-04 A bug in which leading zeros were stripped from variable
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin expansions within arithmetic computation to avoid being treated
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin as octal constants when they should not have, has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-10-08 A bug introduced in ksh93o in which a large here document inside

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-09-22 A bug in which a script without a leading #! could get executed
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin by /bin/sh rather than the current shell on some systems has
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-09-12 To improve conformance with ksh88, leading zeros will be ignored
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin when getting the numerical value of a string variable so that
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin they will not be treated as octal constants.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-09-03 The builtin kill command now processes obsolete invocations
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin such as kill -1 -pid.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin when reading from standard input has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-08-01 A bug in which "${foo#pattern}(x)" treated (x) as if it were
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin part of the pattern has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-08-01 The command -x option has been modified so that any trailing
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin arguments that do expand to a single word will be included
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin on each invocation, so that commands like command -x mv * dir
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin work as expected.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-07-20 --- Release ksh93o+ ---
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-07-20 A bug in which could cause memory corruption when a posix
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin function invoked another one has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-07-15 A bug in which a file descriptor>2 could be closed before
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin executing a script has been fixed.

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin command substitution has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-07-15 A parsing error for patterns of the form {...}(...) when
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin used inside ${...} has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-07-15 An error in which expanding an indexed array inside a compound
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin variable could cause a core dump has been fixed.
34f9b3eef6fdadbda0a846aa4d68691ac40eace5Roland Mainz03-07-15 A bug in which on rare occasions a job completion interrupt
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin could cause to core dump has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-06-26 A bug in which process substitution embedded within command
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin substitution would generate a syntax error has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-96-23 A bug in which ${@:offset:len} could core dump when there

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-96-23 A bug in which ${X[@]:offset:len} could core dump when X
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin was unset has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-06-22 The -x option was added to the command builtin. If this
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin option is on, and the number of arguments would exceed ARG_MAX,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the command will be invoked multiple times with a subset of
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the arguments. For example, with alias grep='command -x grep,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin any number of arguments can be specified.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-06-14 A bug in which could cause a core dump on some systems with
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin vi and emacs editors with the MULTIBYTE option has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-06-06 A bug in which the shell could core dump when a script was
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin run from its directory, and the script name a symlink to a file
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin beginning with .., has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-06-05 A bug in which the shell could core dump when a child process
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin that it is unaware of terminates while it is calling malloc()
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-06-02 An option named globstar (set -G) has been added. When enabled,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin during pathname expansion, any component that consists only of ** is
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin matches all files and any number of directory levels.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-30 A bug in which the PATH search could give incorrect results when
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin run from directory foo and PATH contained .:foo:xxx has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-29 Some changes were made to the code that displays the prompt in edit
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin mode to better handle escape sequences in the prompt.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-27 I added = to the list of characters that mark the beginning of
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a word for edit completion so that filenames in assignments
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin can be completed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-20 A bug in which read -N could hang on some systems when reading
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin from a terminal or a pipe has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-19 A bug in which the output of uname from a command substitution
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin would go to the standard output of the invoking command when
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin uname was invoked with a non-standard option has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-19 A job control bug which would cause the shell to exit because
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin it hadn't take back the terminal has been fixed. The bug
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin could occur when running a function that contained a pipeline
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin whose last element was a function.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-19 A job control timing bug introduced in ksh93o on some systems
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin which could cause a pipeline to hang if the first component
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin completed quickly has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-13 The read builtin has been modified so that the builtin editors
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin will not overwrite output from a previous incomplete line.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-13 A bug in which the name of an identifier could have the string
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin .sh. prefixed to it after expanding a variable whose name begins
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin with .sh. has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-13 A bug in the expansion of $var for compound variables in which
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin some elements would not be output when the name was a prefix
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin of another name in the compound variable has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-05-08 The last item in the ksh93o release on 03-01-02 has been
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin altered slightly to preserve the leading 0's when the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin preceding character is a digit. Thus, with typeset -LZ3 x=10,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin $(( 1$x)) will be 1010 whereas $(( $x) will be 10.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-04-25 A bug in which if x is a name reference, then nameref y=x.foo
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin did not follow x has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-03-18 --- Release ksh93o ---
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-03-18 A -N unary operator was added to test and [[...]] which returns
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin true if the file exists and the file has been modified since it
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin was last read.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-03-18 The TIMEFORMAT variable was added to control the format for
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the time compound command. The formatting description is
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin described in the man page.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-03-06 A -N n option was added to read which causes exactly n bytes
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin to be read unlike -n n which causes at most n bytes to be read.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-03-03 Three new shell variables were added. The variable .sh.file
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin stores the full pathname of the file that the current command
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin was found in. The variable .sh.fun names the current function
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin that is running. The variable .sh.subshell contains the depth
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin of the current subshell or command substitution.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-03-03 When the DEBUG trap is executed, the current command line after
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin expansions is placed in the variable .sh.command. The trap
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin is also now triggered before each iteration of a for, select,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and case command and before each assignment and redirection.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-02-28 Function definitions are no longer stored in the history file so
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin that set -o nolog no longer has any meaning.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-02-28 All function definitions can be displayed with typeset -f not
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin just those stored in the history file. In addition, typeset +f
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin displays the function name followed by a comment containing the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin line number and the path name for the file that defined this function.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-02-28 A bug in which the value of $LINENO was not correct when executing
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin command contained inside mult-line command substitutions has been
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-02-19 Since some existing ksh88 scripts use the undocumented and
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin unintended ability to insert a : in front of the % and # parameter
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin expansion operators, ksh93 was modified to accept :% as equivalent
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin to % and :# as equivalent to # with ${name op word}.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-02-14 A bug which could cause a core dump when reading from standard
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin error when standard error was a pty has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-02-14 The shell arithmetic was modified to use long double on systems
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin that provide this data type.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin03-02-09 A bug in which a function located in the first directory in FPATH
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin would not be found when the last component of PATH was . and the

da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-10-04 The self generated man pages for hist and fc were not working
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin correctly and have been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-10-03 Yet another optimizer bug in which shell patterns were
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin treated as invariants has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-27 Two bugs relating to multibyte history searches and to find
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin have been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-27 A bug introduced in ksh93k in which the PATH searching was
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin not restored after running a command with an assignment list
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-26 A bug in which a zero filled field was treated as octal when
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin converted to integer has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-26 Yet another bug in the optimization of for loops related to
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin recursive functions with break or continue statements has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-25 The exponentiation operator ** was added to the shell arithmetic
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin evaluation. It has higher precedence than * and is left
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin associative.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-25 The code was modified to use the ast multibyte macros
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and functions for handing multibyte locales.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-25 The expansion ${parameter:offset:length} now handles negative
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin offsets which cause offsets to be measured from the end.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-25 Some spelling errors in the documentation were corrected.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-24 The /dev/tcp/host/port and /dev/udp/host/port now allow
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the ports to be specified by service name.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-24 The change staring with ksh93g in which the the appropriate
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin library path variable is prepended with a corresponding library
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin directory has been modified. With the new method, only the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin library path defined in the file named .paths in the directory
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin where the executable is found will be modified. See the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin man page for more details.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-23 The .fpath file (see ksh93h) is no longer looked for in each
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin directory on the path to locate function directories. The
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin file named .paths is used instead.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-23 A bug in which IFS was not being restored after being changed in
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin a subshell has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-16 With the vi and emacs edit modes, after a list of command
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin or functions is generated with = or M-= respectively,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin any element from the list can be pasted on the command line
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin by preceding the = or M-= with a numeric parameter specifying
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the position on the list.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-16 A bug in ksh93l caused command completion not to find aliases
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and functions. Command listing from the edit mode was presented
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin in reverse order. This has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-13 Another bug in the optimization of for loops related to subshells
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin when traps were set has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-07 A change in ksh93l caused brace expansion to stop working
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and this has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-04 A bug introduced in ksh93k in which an arithmetic statement
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin within a function that used name references did not follow the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin reference has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-09-04 A bug introduced in ksh93l in which export -p did not prefix
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin each export with the word export has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-08-29 A bug in multibyte input which occurred when a partial multibyte
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin character was received has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-08-29 A bug introduced in ksh93l which could cause a core dump
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin when an assignment list containing PATH is specified inside
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin command substitution has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-08-09 Another bug in the optimization of for loops in ksh93l caused
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin errors in recursive functions using local variables that
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin contained for loops has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-07-27 A bug in which IFS would be unset after a command substitution
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin inside a here document has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-07-26 To conform to the POSIX standard, if you invoked ksh name,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and name does not contain a /, it will first try to run
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin one in the current directory whether it is executable or not
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin before doing a path search for an executable script. Earlier
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin versions first checked for an executable script using the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin PATH variable.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-07-23 A bug in which unset -f invoked in a subshell could unset a
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin function defined in the parent has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-07-16 A bug in the optimization of for loops in ksh93l caused
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin name references to be treated as invariants has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-07-09 A bug in which a discipline function applied to a local variable
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin could cause a shell exception has been fixed. Discipline
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin functions can only be specified for global variables.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-06-18 --- Release ksh93l ---
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-06-18 A bug in assigning integers larger than can be represented as
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin long integers to floating point variables has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-06-18 A bug in the handling of unsigned integers (typeset -ui) has
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-06-04 The evaluation of the PS1 prompt no longer effects the value
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin of the $? variable.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-06-01 A small memory leak from subshells has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-22 A bug in which attributes for variables that did not have
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin values would be lost after a subshell has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-22 The %R format has been added to convert a shell pattern into
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin an extended regular expression.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-22 The escape sequences \e, \cX, \C[.collating-element.], and
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin \x{hex} have been added to ASCII-C strings and to printf format
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-20 Patterns of the form {n}(pattern) and {m,n}(pattern) are now
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin recognized. The first form matches exactly n of pattern whereas,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin the second form matches from m to n instances of pattern.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-20 The shell allows *-(pattern), +-(pattern), ?-(pattern),
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin {m,n}-(pattern}, and @-(pattern) to cause the minimal
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin match of pattern to be selected whenever possible rather
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin than the maximal (greedy) match.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-20 The character class [:word:] has been added to patterns.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin The word class is the union of [:alnum:] and the character _.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-20 Inside (...) pattern groups, the \ character is now treated
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin specially even when in an enclosing character class. The
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin sequences, \w, \d, \s are equivalent to the character classes
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin word, digit, and space respectively. The sequences \W, \D,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin and \S are their complement sets.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-20 The shell now recognizes pattern groups of the form
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin ~(options:pattern) where options or :pattern can be omitted.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin Options use the letters + and - to enable and disable options
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin respectively. The option letters g (greedy), i (ignore case)
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin are used to cause maximal matching and to cause case
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin insensitive matching respectively. If :pattern is also
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin specified, these options are only in effect while this
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin pattern is being processed. Otherwise, these options remain
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin in effect until the end of the pattern group that they are contained
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin in or until another ~(...) is encountered. These pattern groups
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin are not counted with respect to group numbering.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-14 When edit completion, expansion, or listing occurs in the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin middle of a quoted string, the leading quote is ignored when
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin performing the completion, expansion, or listing.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-14 A small memory leak from subshells has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-10 A bug in which open files were not restored after a subshell
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin that had used exec to replace a file has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-10 Redirection to a null file name now generates an error message.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-09 The shell now rejects some invalid parameter substitutions that
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin were previously processed in undefined ways.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-09 A bug in which the output of select was not flushed before the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin read when input did not come from the terminal has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-08 A bug in which job ids would not be freed for interactive shells
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin when subshells ran built-ins in the background has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-08 The FPATH variable now requires an explicit . to cause the
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin current directory to be treated as a function directory.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-08 A bug in read -n when echo mode was disabled has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-05-07 A bug in which function definitions could be listed as part
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin of the history has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-30 This release uses a new and often much faster pattern matcher than
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin earlier releases.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-30 An optimizer now eliminates invariant parameter expansions from
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin for while and until loops.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-30 The variable .sh.match is set after each pattern match (# % or /)
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin in a variable substitution. The variable .sh.match is an
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin indexed array with element 0 being the complete match.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin The array is only valid until the next subsequent pattern
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin match or until the value of the variable changes which ever
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin comes first.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-30 A self generating man page has been added to shcomp. Also,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin shcomp now stops compiling when it finds an exit or exec
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin command and copies the remainder so that it can be used
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin for standard input.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-30 The shcomp command was modified so that it can work in an
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin EBCIDIC environment and that binary scripts are portable
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin across environments.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-30 A bug in the handling of a trailing : in PATH has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-30 A bug in which the builtin version of a command would get invoked
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin even though the full pathname for the command was specified
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-30 A bug in which read would loose the last character when
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin reading the last line of a file that did not contain a new-line
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin character has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-23 A bug on some systems in which in vi mode the end of file
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin character and end of line character could be swapped has
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-23 A bug on some systems in which invoking a shell script that
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin did not have execute permission could set the exit value to
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin 127 rather than 126 has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-20 A bug in which read -n from a pipe would block if fewer than
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin n characters was received has been fixed.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-09 A bug in which invalid patterns, for example, ) by itself,
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin was not treated as a string has been fixed so that if i=')',
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin then [[ $i == $i ]] is true.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-09 The shell arithmetic now interprets C character constants.
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin01-04-09 A bug in which a non-zero return from a function defined
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin with the function reserved word did not trigger the ERR
da2e3ebdc1edfbc5028edf1354e7dd2fa69a7968chin trap or exit with set -e has been fixed.
