-This document details the changes between this version, bash-4.2-rc2,
-and the previous version, bash-4.2-rc1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Changes to bash_directory_completion_hook so that it's assigned to the
- readline rl_directory_rewrite_hook variable, which modifies the directory
- name passed to opendir without modifying the directory name the user
- typed.
-
-b. Fix bug in select builtin that caused it to not terminate correctly if
- the read timed out due to $TMOUT.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-4.2-rc1,
-and the previous version, bash-4.2-beta.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused some redirection errors to leak file descriptors.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused unary `+' and `-' arithmetic operators to have a
- higher precedence than unary `!' and `~'.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that caused simple commands in a pipeline to affect the exit
- status ($?) seen by subsequent pipeline commands.
-
-d. A number of cygwin-specific changes to avoid the use of text-mode files
- and file access, and to make sure that \r is handled correctly.
-
-e. Fixed a bug that caused the read builtin to not return failure if an
- attempt is made to assign to a readonly variable.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused some builtin usage messages to not be translated.
-
-g. Fixed a bug that caused the getopts builtin to not return failure if an
- attempt is made to assign to a readonly variable. Now it returns 2.
-
-h. Fixed the cd and pwd builtins to return failure if PWD is readonly and
- cannot be assigned to.
-
-i. Added code to check the return value of access(2) on Solaris systems,
- since it returns success for executable tests (e.g., `test -x') when
- run by root, even if the file permissions don't allow execution.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused directory names in words to be completed to not
- be dequoted correctly.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-4.2-beta,
-and the previous version, bash-4.2-alpha.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused the \W prompt string escape to not add a closing
- NULL.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused partially-quoted words that were not subject to
- word splitting to retained quoted NULLs.
-
-c. Added considerable efficiency speedups when pattern matching in multibyte
- locales by skipping multibyte character functions where possible.
-
-d. Added considerable speedups to variable expansion when in multibyte locales.
-
-e. Fixed a bug that caused the expansion of $* when there are no positional
- parameters to cause the shell to dump core when used in a pattern
- matching context.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused variable expansions preceding regular builtins to
- not change the shell environment during their execution.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that made an explicit argument of 0 to yank-last-arg behave
- as if it were a negative argument.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-4.2-alpha,
-and the previous version, bash-4.1-release.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a bug in the parser when processing alias expansions containing
- quoted newlines.
-
-b. Fixed a memory leak in associative array expansion.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that caused quoted here-strings to be requoted when printed.
-
-d. Fixed a bug in arithmetic expansion that caused the index in an array
- expansion to be evaluated twice under certain circumstances.
-
-e. Fixed several bugs with the expansion and display of variables that have
- been given attributes but not values and are technically unset.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when using filename completion that
- expands to a filename containing a globbing character.
-
-g. Fixed a bug that caused assignment statements preceding a special builtin
- when running in Posix mode to not persist after the builtin completed
- when the special builtin was executed in a shell function without any
- local variables.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused a command to remain in the hash table even after
- `hash command' did not find anything if there was already an existing
- hashed pathname.
-
-i. Fixed several bugs caused by executing unsafe functions from a signal
- handler in the cases where a signal handler is executed immediately
- rather than setting a flag for later execution.
-
-j. Fixed a bug that caused some internal flag variables to be set
- incorrectly if `read -t' timed out.
-
-k. Fixed a Posix compatibility issue by making sure that a backslash escaping
- a `}' within a double-quoted ${...} parameter expansion is removed as part
- of the parameter expansion.
-
-l. Fixed a bug that caused execution of a trap to overwrite PIPESTATUS.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused here documents to not be displayed correctly
- when attached to commands inside compound commands.
-
-n. Fixed a bug that caused the printf builtin to use the wrong precision
- when using the `*' modifier.
-
-o. Fixed a bug that caused an arriving SIGCHLD to interrupt output functions
- like those invoked by echo or printf.
-
-p. Changed to use a more robust mechanism than eaccess(2) when test is
- checking filenames for execution permission.
-
-q. Fixed a bug that caused spurious semicolons to be added into the command
- history in certain cases.
-
-r. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to free non-allocated memory when
- unsetting element 0 of an associative array after it was assigned
- implicitly.
-
-s. Fixed a bug that could cause the shell to dump core if using the `v'
- vi editing command on a multi-line command.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that left FIFOs opened by process substitutions open long
- enough to potentially cause file descriptor exhaustion when running a
- shell function or shell builtin.
-
-u. Fixed a bug that caused the history expansion functions to not recognize
- process substitution or extended glob patterns as single words.
-
-v. Fixed a bug that caused restricted shells to set a restricted command's
- exit status incorrectly.
-
-w. Fixed a bug that caused bash to ignore the wrong set of filenames when
- completing a command using the `complete-filename' readline command.
-
-x. Fixed a bug that caused a -PID argument following a -s sig or -n sig to
- not be interpreted as a signal specification.
-
-y. Changed posix-mode behavior of a parse error in a `.' script or `eval'
- command to exit the shell under Posix-specified conditions. Previous
- versions printed a warning.
-
-z. Fixed a bug in \W prompt expansion that resulted in incorrect expansion
- in the event of overlapping strings.
-
-aa. Fixed a bug that caused the := parameter expansion operator to return the
- wrong value as the result of the expansion.
-
-bb. When in Posix mode, a single quote is not treated specially in a
- double-quoted ${...} expansion, unless the expansion operator is
- # or % or the non-Posix `//', `^', and `,'. In particular, it does
- not define a new quoting context. This is from Posix interpretation 221.
-
-cc. Fixed a bug that inadvertently allowed program names containing slashes
- to be entered into the command hash table.
-
-dd. Fixed a bug that caused the select builtin to incorrectly compute the
- display width of the arguments in the presence of multibyte characters.
-
-ee. Fixed a bug that caused bash to not change the xtrace file descriptor if
- BASH_XTRACEFD was found in the shell environment at startup.
-
-ff. Fixed a memory leak in the pattern removal parameter expansion.
-
-gg. Fixed a bug that caused SIGINT to fail to interrupt a nested loop if the
- loop was in a pipeline.
-
-hh. Fixed a problem in $(...) parsing that caused the parser to add an extra
- space to a here-document delimiter if the first word contained a `/'.
-
-ii. Fixed a bug that caused functions defined with the `function' reserved
- word to require braces around the function body.
-
-jj. Fixed a bug that caused bash to dump core when a variable expansion being
- used as an array subscript failed.
-
-kk. Fixed a bug that caused bash to dump core if the case-modification
- expansions were used on a variable with a null value.
-
-ll. Fixed a bug that caused partially-quoted strings to be split incorrectly
- if a variable with a null value was expanded within double quotes.
-
-mm. The pattern substitution word expansion has been sped up dramatically
- when running in a locale with multibyte characters.
-
-nn. Fixed a bug that caused history -a to not write the correct lines to
- the history file if all the new lines in the history list were added
- since the last time the history file was read or written.
-
-oo. Fixed a bug that caused completion of a word with an unclosed `` command
- substitution to set the prompt incorrectly.
-
-pp. Fixed a bug that caused extended globbing patterns in $HISTIGNORE or
- $GLOBIGNORE to be incorrectly scanned.
-
-qq. Fixed a bug caused by closing file descriptors 3-20 on shell startup. The
- shell now sets them to close-on-exec.
-
-rr. Fixed a bug that caused the exit status of `exec file' to be set incorrectly
- if `file' was a directory.
-
-ss. Fixed a bug in the `.' builtin to make a non-interactive posix-mode shell
- exit if the file argument to `.' is not found. Prefixing exec with
- `command' makes the shell not exit. Posix requires this behavior.
-
-tt. Fixed a bug that caused `sh -c 'command exec; exit 1' to hang.
-
-uu. Fixed a bug in $(...) command substitution parsing that caused the shell
- to treat backslash-newline incorrectly when parsing a comment.
-
-vv. Fixed bug that caused brace expansion sequence generation to misbehave
- when supplied integers greater than 2**31 - 1.
-
-ww. Fixed a bug that caused failure to save file descriptors for redirections
- to corrupt shell file descriptors.
-
-xx. Fixed a bug that caused bash-forward-shellword to not correctly handle
- quoted strings.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused the unconverted filename to be added to the list of
- completions when the application specified filename conversion functions.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused the wrong filename to be passed to opendir when the
- application has specified a filename dequoting function.
-
-c. Fixed a bug when repeating a character search in vi mode in the case where
- there was no search to repeat.
-
-d. When show-all-if-ambiguous is set, the completion routines no longer insert
- a common match prefix that is shorter than the text being completed.
-
-e. The full set of vi editing commands may now be used in callback mode.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused readline to not update its idea of the terminal
- dimensions while running in `no-echo' mode.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused readline to dump core if an application called
- rl_prep_terminal without setting rl_instream.
-
-i. Fixed a bug that caused meta-prefixed characters bound to incremental
- search forward or backward to not be recognized if they were typed
- subsequently.
-
-j. The incremental search code treats key sequences that map to the same
- functions as (default) ^G, ^W, and ^Y as equivalent to those characters.
-
-k. Fixed a bug in menu-complete that caused it to misbehave with large
- negative argument.
-
-l. Fixed a bug that caused vi-mode yank-last-arg to ring the bell when invoked
- at the end of the line.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. `exec -a foo' now sets $0 to `foo' in an executable shell script without a
- leading #!.
-
-b. Subshells begun to execute command substitutions or run shell functions or
- builtins in subshells do not reset trap strings until a new trap is
- specified. This allows $(trap) to display the caller's traps and the
- trap strings to persist until a new trap is set.
-
-c. `trap -p' will now show signals ignored at shell startup, though their
- disposition still cannot be modified.
-
-d. $'...', echo, and printf understand \uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX escape sequences.
-
-e. declare/typeset has a new `-g' option, which creates variables in the
- global scope even when run in a shell function.
-
-f. test/[/[[ have a new -v variable unary operator, which returns success if
- `variable' has been set.
-
-g. Posix parsing changes to allow `! time command' and multiple consecutive
- instances of `!' (which toggle) and `time' (which have no cumulative
- effect).
-
-h. Posix change to allow `time' as a command by itself to print the elapsed
- user, system, and real times for the shell and its children.
-
-j. $((...)) is always parsed as an arithmetic expansion first, instead of as
- a potential nested command substitution, as Posix requires.
-
-k. A new FUNCNEST variable to allow the user to control the maximum shell
- function nesting (recursive execution) level.
-
-l. The mapfile builtin now supplies a third argument to the callback command:
- the line about to be assigned to the supplied array index.
-
-m. The printf builtin has a new %(fmt)T specifier, which allows time values
- to use strftime-like formatting.
-
-n. There is a new `compat41' shell option.
-
-o. The cd builtin has a new Posix-mandated `-e' option.
-
-p. Negative subscripts to indexed arrays, previously errors, now are treated
- as offsets from the maximum assigned index + 1.
-
-q. Negative length specifications in the ${var:offset:length} expansion,
- previously errors, are now treated as offsets from the end of the variable.
-
-r. Parsing change to allow `time -p --'.
-
-s. Posix-mode parsing change to not recognize `time' as a keyword if the
- following token begins with a `-'. This means no more Posix-mode
- `time -p'. Posix interpretation 267.
-
-t. There is a new `lastpipe' shell option that runs the last command of a
- pipeline in the current shell context. The lastpipe option has no
- effect if job control is enabled.
-
-u. History expansion no longer expands the `$!' variable expansion.
-
-v. Posix mode shells no longer exit if a variable assignment error occurs
- with an assignment preceding a command that is not a special builtin.
-
-w. Non-interactive mode shells exit if -u is enabled and an attempt is made
- to use an unset variable with the % or # expansions, the `//', `^', or
- `,' expansions, or the parameter length expansion.
-
-x. Posix-mode shells use the argument passed to `.' as-is if a $PATH search
- fails, effectively searching the current directory. Posix-2008 change.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. The history library does not try to write the history filename in the
- current directory if $HOME is unset. This closes a potential security
- problem if the application does not specify a history filename.
-
-b. New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of
- columns used when displaying completions.
-
-c. New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive
- completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical.
-
-d. There are new bindable vi-mode command names to avoid readline's case-
- insensitive matching not allowing them to be bound separately.
-
-e. New bindable variable `menu-complete-display-prefix' causes the menu
- completion code to display the common prefix of the possible completions
- before cycling through the list, instead of after.

- quoted newlines.
-
-b. Fixed a memory leak in associative array expansion.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that caused quoted here-strings to be requoted when printed.
-
-d. Fixed a bug in arithmetic expansion that caused the index in an array
- expansion to be evaluated twice under certain circumstances.
-
-e. Fixed several bugs with the expansion and display of variables that have
- been given attributes but not values and are technically unset.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when using filename completion that
- expands to a filename containing a globbing character.
-
-g. Fixed a bug that caused assignment statements preceding a special builtin
- when running in Posix mode to not persist after the builtin completed
- when the special builtin was executed in a shell function without any
- local variables.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused a command to remain in the hash table even after
- `hash command' did not find anything if there was already an existing
- hashed pathname.
-
-i. Fixed several bugs caused by executing unsafe functions from a signal
- handler in the cases where a signal handler is executed immediately
- rather than setting a flag for later execution.
-
-j. Fixed a bug that caused some internal flag variables to be set
- incorrectly if `read -t' timed out.
-
-k. Fixed a Posix compatibility issue by making sure that a backslash escaping
- a `}' within a double-quoted ${...} parameter expansion is removed as part
- of the parameter expansion.
-
-l. Fixed a bug that caused execution of a trap to overwrite PIPESTATUS.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused here documents to not be displayed correctly
- when attached to commands inside compound commands.
-
-n. Fixed a bug that caused the printf builtin to use the wrong precision
- when using the `*' modifier.
-
-o. Fixed a bug that caused an arriving SIGCHLD to interrupt output functions
- like those invoked by echo or printf.

- history in certain cases.
-
-r. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to free non-allocated memory when
- unsetting element 0 of an associative array after it was assigned
- implicitly.
-
-s. Fixed a bug that could cause the shell to dump core if using the `v'
- vi editing command on a multi-line command.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that left FIFOs opened by process substitutions open long
- enough to potentially cause file descriptor exhaustion when running a
- shell function or shell builtin.
-
-u. Fixed a bug that caused the history expansion functions to not recognize
- process substitution or extended glob patterns as single words.
-
-v. Fixed a bug that caused restricted shells to set a restricted command's

- not be interpreted as a signal specification.
-
-y. Changed posix-mode behavior of a parse error in a `.' script or `eval'

- in the event of overlapping strings.
-
-aa. Fixed a bug that caused the := parameter expansion operator to return the
- wrong value as the result of the expansion.
-
-bb. When in Posix mode, a single quote is not treated specially in a
- double-quoted ${...} expansion, unless the expansion operator is
- # or % or the non-Posix `//', `^', and `,'. In particular, it does
- not define a new quoting context. This is from Posix interpretation 221.
-

-
-gg. Fixed a bug that caused SIGINT to fail to interrupt a nested loop if the
- loop was in a pipeline.
-
-hh. Fixed a problem in $(...) parsing that caused the parser to add an extra
- space to a here-document delimiter if the first word contained a `/'.
-

- word to require braces around the function body.
-
-jj. Fixed a bug that caused bash to dump core when a variable expansion being
- used as an array subscript failed.
-

- if a variable with a null value was expanded within double quotes.
-
-mm. The pattern substitution word expansion has been sped up dramatically
- when running in a locale with multibyte characters.
-
-nn. Fixed a bug that caused history -a to not write the correct lines to
- the history file if all the new lines in the history list were added
- since the last time the history file was read or written.
-
-oo. Fixed a bug that caused completion of a word with an unclosed `` command
- substitution to set the prompt incorrectly.
-
-pp. Fixed a bug that caused extended globbing patterns in $HISTIGNORE or
- $GLOBIGNORE to be incorrectly scanned.
-
-qq. Fixed a bug caused by closing file descriptors 3-20 on shell startup. The
- shell now sets them to close-on-exec.
-
-rr. Fixed a bug that caused the exit status of `exec file' to be set incorrectly
- if `file' was a directory.
-
-ss. Fixed a bug in the `.' builtin to make a non-interactive posix-mode shell

-vv. Fixed bug that caused brace expansion sequence generation to misbehave
- when supplied integers greater than 2**31 - 1.
-
-ww. Fixed a bug that caused failure to save file descriptors for redirections
- to corrupt shell file descriptors.
-
-xx. Fixed a bug that caused bash-forward-shellword to not correctly handle
- quoted strings.

- completions when the application specified filename conversion functions.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused the wrong filename to be passed to opendir when the
- application has specified a filename dequoting function.
-
-c. Fixed a bug when repeating a character search in vi mode in the case where

- a common match prefix that is shorter than the text being completed.
-
-e. The full set of vi editing commands may now be used in callback mode.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused readline to not update its idea of the terminal
- dimensions while running in `no-echo' mode.
-

- rl_prep_terminal without setting rl_instream.
-
-i. Fixed a bug that caused meta-prefixed characters bound to incremental
- search forward or backward to not be recognized if they were typed
- subsequently.
-
-j. The incremental search code treats key sequences that map to the same
- functions as (default) ^G, ^W, and ^Y as equivalent to those characters.
-
-k. Fixed a bug in menu-complete that caused it to misbehave with large
- negative argument.

-
-y. Fixed a bug caused by executing an external program from the DEBUG trap
- while a pipeline was running. The effect was to disturb the pipeline
- state, occasionally causing it to hang.
-
-z. Fixed a bug that caused the ** glob expansion to dump core if it
- encountered an unsearchable directory.
-
-aa. Fixed a bug that caused `command -v' and `command -V' to not honor the
- path set by the -p option.
-
-bb. Fixed a bug that caused brace expansion to take place too soon in some
- compound array assignments.

-ll. The ERR and EXIT traps now see a non-zero value for $? when a parser
- error after set -e has been enabled causes the shell to exit.

-
-2. Changes to Readline

- recognized when a longer sequence identical in the first two characters
- was bound.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused history expansion to be attempted on $'...'
- single-quoted strings.

-
-b. Bash's file status checks (executable, readable, etc.) now take file
- system ACLs into account on file systems that support them.
-
-c. Bash now passes environment variables with names that are not valid
- shell variable names through into the environment passed to child
- processes.
-
-d. The `execute-unix-command' readline function now attempts to clear and
- reuse the current line rather than move to a new one after the command
- executes.
-
-e. `printf -v' can now assign values to array indices.
-
-f. New `complete -E' and `compopt -E' options that work on the "empty"
- completion: completion attempted on an empty command line.
-
-g. New complete/compgen/compopt -D option to define a `default' completion:
- a completion to be invoked on command for which no completion has been
- defined. If this function returns 124, programmable completion is
- attempted again, allowing a user to dynamically build a set of completions
- as completion is attempted by having the default completion function
- install individual completion functions each time it is invoked.
-
-h. When displaying associative arrays, subscripts are now quoted.
-
-i. Changes to dabbrev-expand to make it more `emacs-like': no space appended
- after matches, completions are not sorted, and most recent history entries
- are presented first.
-
-j. The [[ and (( commands are now subject to the setting of `set -e' and the
- ERR trap.
-
-k. The source/. builtin now removes NUL bytes from the file before attempting
- to parse commands.
-
-l. There is a new configuration option (in config-top.h) that forces bash to
- forward all history entries to syslog.
-
-m. A new variable $BASHOPTS to export shell options settable using `shopt' to
- child processes.
-
-n. There is a new confgure option that forces the extglob option to be
- enabled by default.
-
-o. New variable $BASH_XTRACEFD; when set to an integer bash will write xtrace
- output to that file descriptor.
-
-p. If the optional left-hand-side of a redirection is of the form {var}, the
- shell assigns the file descriptor used to $var or uses $var as the file
- descriptor to move or close, depending on the redirection operator.
-
-q. The < and > operators to the [[ conditional command now do string
- comparison according to the current locale.
-
-r. Programmable completion now uses the completion for `b' instead of `a'
- when completion is attempted on a line like: a $(b c.
-
-s. Force extglob on temporarily when parsing the pattern argument to
- the == and != operators to the [[ command, for compatibility.
-
-t. Changed the behavior of interrupting the wait builtin when a SIGCHLD is
- received and a trap on SIGCHLD is set to be Posix-mode only.
-
-u. The read builtin has a new `-N nchars' option, which reads exactly NCHARS
- characters, ignoring delimiters like newline.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. New bindable function: menu-complete-backward.
-
-b. In the vi insertion keymap, C-n is now bound to menu-complete by default,
- and C-p to menu-complete-backward.
-
-c. When in vi command mode, repeatedly hitting ESC now does nothing, even
- when ESC introduces a bound key sequence. This is closer to how
- historical vi behaves.
-
-d. New bindable function: skip-csi-sequence. Can be used as a default to
- consume key sequences generated by keys like Home and End without having
- to bind all keys.
-
-e. New application-settable function: rl_filename_rewrite_hook. Can be used
- to rewite or modify filenames read from the file system before they are
- compared to the word to be completed.
-
-f. New bindable variable: skip-completed-text, active when completing in the
- middle of a word. If enabled, it means that characters in the completion
- that match characters in the remainder of the word are "skipped" rather
- than inserted into the line.
-
-g. The pre-readline-6.0 version of menu completion is available as
- "old-menu-complete" for users who do not like the readline-6.0 version.
-
-h. New bindable variable: echo-control-characters. If enabled, and the
- tty ECHOCTL bit is set, controls the echoing of characters corresponding
- to keyboard-generated signals.
-
-i. New bindable variable: enable-meta-key. Controls whether or not readline
- sends the smm/rmm sequences if the terminal indicates it has a meta key
- that enables eight-bit characters.

- Posix mode, as Posix specifies.
-
-k. Changed the behavior of the read builtin to save any partial input received
- in the specified variable when the read builtin times out. This also
- results in variables specified as arguments to read to be set to the empty
- string when there is no input available. When the read builtin times out,
- it returns an exit status greater than 128.
-
-l. The shell now has the notion of a `compatibility level', controlled by
- new variables settable by `shopt'. Setting this variable currently
- restores the bash-3.1 behavior when processing quoted strings on the rhs
- of the `=~' operator to the `[[' command.
-
-m. The `ulimit' builtin now has new -b (socket buffer size) and -T (number
- of threads) options.
-
-n. The -p option to `declare' now displays all variable values and attributes
- (or function values and attributes if used with -f).
-
-o. There is a new `compopt' builtin that allows completion functions to modify
- completion options for existing completions or the completion currently
- being executed.
-
-p. The `read' builtin has a new -i option which inserts text into the reply
- buffer when using readline.
-
-q. A new `-E' option to the complete builtin allows control of the default
- behavior for completion on an empty line.
-
-r. There is now limited support for completing command name words containing
- globbing characters.
-
-s. Changed format of internal help documentation for all builtins to roughly
- follow man page format.
-
-t. The `help' builtin now has a new -d option, to display a short description,
- and a -m option, to print help information in a man page-like format.
-
-u. There is a new `mapfile' builtin to populate an array with lines from a
- given file.
-
-v. If a command is not found, the shell attempts to execute a shell function
- named `command_not_found_handle', supplying the command words as the
- function arguments.
-
-w. There is a new shell option: `globstar'. When enabled, the globbing code
- treats `**' specially -- it matches all directories (and files within
- them, when appropriate) recursively.
-
-x. There is a new shell option: `dirspell'. When enabled, the filename
- completion code performs spelling correction on directory names during
- completion.
-
-y. The `-t' option to the `read' builtin now supports fractional timeout
- values.
-
-z. Brace expansion now allows zero-padding of expanded numeric values and
- will add the proper number of zeroes to make sure all values contain the
- same number of digits.
-
-aa. There is a new bash-specific bindable readline function: `dabbrev-expand'.
- It uses menu completion on a set of words taken from the history list.
-
-bb. The command assigned to a key sequence with `bind -x' now sets two new
- variables in the environment of the executed command: READLINE_LINE_BUFFER
- and READLINE_POINT. The command can change the current readline line
- and cursor position by modifying READLINE_LINE_BUFFER and READLINE_POINT,
- respectively.
-
-cc. There is a new &>> redirection operator, which appends the standard output
- and standard error to the named file.
-
-dd. The parser now understands `|&' as a synonym for `2>&1 |', which redirects
- the standard error for a command through a pipe.
-
-ee. The new `;&' case statement action list terminator causes execution to
- continue with the action associated with the next pattern in the
- statement rather than terminating the command.
-
-ff. The new `;;&' case statement action list terminator causes the shell to
- test the next set of patterns after completing execution of the current
- action, rather than terminating the command.
-
-gg. The shell understands a new variable: PROMPT_DIRTRIM. When set to an
- integer value greater than zero, prompt expansion of \w and \W will
- retain only that number of trailing pathname components and replace
- the intervening characters with `...'.
-
-hh. There are new case-modifying word expansions: uppercase (^[^]) and
- lowercase (,[,]). They can work on either the first character or
- array element, or globally. They accept an optional shell pattern
- that determines which characters to modify. There is an optionally-
- configured feature to include capitalization operators.
-
-ii. The shell provides associative array variables, with the appropriate
- support to create, delete, assign values to, and expand them.
-
-jj. The `declare' builtin now has new -l (convert value to lowercase upon
- assignment) and -u (convert value to uppercase upon assignment) options.
- There is an optionally-configurable -c option to capitalize a value at
- assignment.
-
-kk. There is a new `coproc' reserved word that specifies a coprocess: an
- asynchronous command run with two pipes connected to the creating shell.
- Coprocs can be named. The input and output file descriptors and the
- PID of the coprocess are available to the calling shell in variables
- with coproc-specific names.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. A new variable, rl_sort_completion_matches; allows applications to inhibit
- match list sorting (but beware: some things don't work right if
- applications do this).
-
-b. A new variable, rl_completion_invoking_key; allows applications to discover
- the key that invoked rl_complete or rl_menu_complete.
-
-c. The functions rl_block_sigint and rl_release_sigint are now public and
- available to calling applications who want to protect critical sections
- (like redisplay).
-
-d. The functions rl_save_state and rl_restore_state are now public and
- available to calling applications; documented rest of readline's state
- flag values.
-
-e. A new user-settable variable, `history-size', allows setting the maximum
- number of entries in the history list.
-
-f. There is a new implementation of menu completion, with several improvements
- over the old; the most notable improvement is a better `completions
- browsing' mode.
-
-g. The menu completion code now uses the rl_menu_completion_entry_function
- variable, allowing applications to provide their own menu completion
- generators.
-
-h. There is support for replacing a prefix of a pathname with a `...' when
- displaying possible completions. This is controllable by setting the
- `completion-prefix-display-length' variable. Matches with a common prefix
- longer than this value have the common prefix replaced with `...'.
-
-i. There is a new `revert-all-at-newline' variable. If enabled, readline will
- undo all outstanding changes to all history lines when `accept-line' is
- executed.

-
-c. Readline no longer treats read errors by converting them to newlines, as

- override the default value.
-
-i. Tightened up the arithmetic expression parsing to produce better error
- messages when presented with invalid operators.
-
-j. Fixed the cross-compilation support to build the signal list at shell
- invocation rather than compile time if cross-compiling.
-
-k. Fixed multibyte support for non-gcc compilers (or compilers that do not
- allow automatic array variable sizing based on a non-constant value).
-
-l. Several fixes to the code that manages the list of terminated jobs and
- their exit statuses, and the list of active and recently-terminated jobs
- to avoid pid aliasing/wraparound and allocation errors.
-
-m. Fixed a problem that allowed scripts to die due to SIGINT while waiting
- for children, even when started in the background or otherwise ignoring
- SIGINT.
-
-n. Fixed a bug that caused shells invoked as -/bin/bash from not being
- recognized as login shells.
-
-o. Fixed a problem that caused shells in the background to give the terminal
- to a process group other than the foreground shell process group.
-
-p. Fixed a problem with extracting the `varname' in ${#varname}.
-
-q. Fixed the code that handles SIGQUIT to not exit immediately -- thereby
- calling functions that may not be called in a signal handler context --
- but set a flag and exit afterward (like SIGINT).
-
-r. Changed the brace expansion code to skip over braces that don't begin a
- valid matched brace expansion construct.
-
-s. Fixed `typeset' and `declare' to not require that their shell function
- operands to be valid shell identifiers.
-
-t. Changed `test' to use access(2) with a temporary uid/euid swap when testing
- file attributes and running setuid, and access(2) in most other cases.
-
-u. Changed completion code to not attempt command name completion on a line
- consisting solely of whitespace when no_empty_command_completion is set.
-
-v. The `hash' builtin now prints nothing in posix mode when the hash table is
- empty, and prints a message to that effect to stdout instead of stderr
- when not in posix mode.
-
-w. Fixed a bug in the extended pattern matching code that caused it to fail to
- match periods with certain patterns.
-
-x. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to dump core when performing filename
- generation in directories with thousands of files.
-
-y. Returned to the original Bourne shell rules for parsing ``: no recursive
- parsing of embedded quoted strings or ${...} constructs.
-
-z. The inheritence of the DEBUG, RETURN, and ERR traps is now dependent only
- on the settings of the `functrace' and `errtrace' shell options, rather
- than whether or not the shell is in debugging mode.
-
-aa. Fixed a problem with $HOME being converted to ~ in the expansion of
- members of the DIRSTACK array.

- shell comments into account.
-
-ff. Fixed a bug that caused $((...);(...)) to be misinterpreted as an
- arithmetic substitution.
-
-gg. Fixed a bug in the prompt expansion code that inappropriately added a
- \001 before a \002 under certain circumstances.
-
-hh. Fixed a bug that caused `unset LANG' to not properly reset the locale
- (previous versions would set the locale back to what it was when bash
- was started rather than the system's "native" locale).
-
-ii. Fixed a bug that could cause file descriptors > 10 to not be closed even
- when closed explicitly by a script.
-
-jj. Fixed a bug that caused single quotes to be stripped from ANSI-C quoting
- inside double-quoted command substitutions.
-
-kk. Fixed a bug that could cause core dumps when `return' was executed as the
- last element of a pipeline inside a shell function.
-
-ll. Fixed a bug that caused DEBUG trap strings to overwrite commands stored in

-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a problem that caused segmentation faults when using readline in
- callback mode and typing consecutive DEL characters on an empty line.
-
-b. Fixed several redisplay problems with multibyte characters, all having to
- do with the different code paths and variable meanings between single-byte
- and multibyte character redisplay.
-
-c. Fixed a problem with key sequence translation when presented with the
- sequence \M-\C-x.
-
-d. Fixed a problem that prevented the `a' command in vi mode from being

-
-g. Fixed output of key bindings (like bash `bind -p') to honor the setting of
- convert-meta and use \e where appropriate.
-
-h. Changed the default filename completion function to call the filename
- dequoting function if the directory completion hook isn't set. This means
- that any directory completion hooks need to dequote the directory name,
- since application-specific hooks need to know how the word was quoted,
- even if no other changes are made.
-
-i. Fixed a bug with creating the prompt for a non-interactive search string
- when there are non-printing characters in the primary prompt.
-
-j. Fixed a bug that caused prompts with invisible characters to be redrawn

- to display a portion of the prompt.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. Changed the parameter pattern replacement functions to not anchor the
- pattern at the beginning of the string if doing global replacement - that
- combination doesn't make any sense.
-
-b. When running in `word expansion only' mode (--wordexp option), inhibit
- process substitution.
-
-c. Loadable builtins now work on MacOS X 10.[34].
-
-d. Shells running in posix mode no longer set $HOME, as POSIX requires.
-
-e. The code that checks for binary files being executed as shell scripts now
- checks only for NUL rather than any non-printing character.
-
-f. Quoting the string argument to the [[ command's =~ operator now forces
- string matching, as with the other pattern-matching operators.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. Calling applications can now set the keyboard timeout to 0, allowing
- poll-like behavior.
-
-b. The value of SYS_INPUTRC (configurable at compilation time) is now used as
- the default last-ditch startup file.
-
-c. The history file reading functions now allow windows-like \r\n line
- terminators.

- directories with leading `-'.
-
-d. Fixed a small memory leak in the programmable completion code.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a redisplay bug caused by moving the cursor vertically to a line
- with invisible characters in the prompt in a multibyte locale.

-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. If compiled for strict POSIX conformance, LINES and COLUMNS may now
- override the true terminal size.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. A new external application-controllable variable that allows the LINES
- and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of
- what the kernel returns.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.1-rc1,
-and the previous version, bash-3.1-beta1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a bug that could cause core dumps due to accessing the current
- pipeline while in the middle of modifying it.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused pathnames with backslashes still quoting characters
- to be passed to opendir().
-
-c. Command word completion now obeys the setting of completion-ignore-case.
-
-d. Fixed a problem with redirection that caused file descriptors greater than
- 2 to be inappropriately marked as close-on-exec.
-
-e. In Posix mode, after `wait' is called to wait for a particular process
- explicitly, that process is removed from the list of processes known to
- the shell, and subsequent attempts to wait for it return errors.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused extended pattern matching to incorrectly scan
- backslash-escaped pattern characters.
-
-g. Fixed a synchronization problem that could cause core dumps when handling
- a SIGWINCH.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused an unmatched backquote to be accepted without an
- error when processing here documents.
-
-i. Fixed a small memory leak in the `cd' builtin.
-
-j. Fix for MacOS X so it gets the values for the HOSTTYPE, MACHTYPE, and
- OSTYPE variables at build time, to support universal binaries.
-
-k. Fixed a bug that could cause an exit trap to return the exit status of
- the trap command rather than the status as it was before the trap was
- run as the shell's exit status.
-
-2. New Features in Bash
-
-3. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused reversing the incremental search direction to
- not work correctly.
-
-b. Fixed the vi-mode `U' command to only undo up to the first time insert mode
- was entered, as Posix specifies.
-
-c. Fixed a bug in the vi-mode `r' command that left the cursor in the wrong
- place.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. New application-callable auxiliary function, rl_variable_value, returns
- a string corresponding to a readline variable's value.
-
-b. When parsing inputrc files and variable binding commands, the parser
- strips trailing whitespace from values assigned to boolean variables
- before checking them.

-d. A few changes to configure.in to remove calls to obsolete or outdated
- macros.
-
-e. Make sure changes to variables bash handles specially (e.g., LC_ALL) are
- made when the variable is set in the temporary environment to a command.
-
-f. Make sure changes to variables bash handles specially (e.g., LC_ALL) are
- made when the variable is modified using `printf -v'.
-
-g. The export environment is now remade on cygwin when HOME is changed, so
- DLLs bash is linked against pick up the new value. This fixes problems
- with tilde expansion when linking against and already-installed readline.
-
-h. Small fix to the logic for performing tilde expansion in posix mode, so
- expansion on the right-hand side of an assignment statement takes place.
-
-i. Fixed a bug that prevented redirections associated with a shell function
- from being executed when in a subshell.
-
-j. Fixed `source' and `.' builtins to not require an executable file when
- searching $PATH for a file to source.
-
-k. Fixed a bug that caused incorrect word splitting in a function when IFS
- was declared local, then unset.
-
-l. Fixed a problem with the `kill' builtin that prevented sending signals
- to a process group under certain circumstances when providing a pid < 0.
-
-m. When in POSIX mode, `pwd' now checks that the value it prints is the same
- directory as `.', even when displaying $PWD.
-
-n. Fixed a problem with the `read' builtin when reading a script from standard
- input and reading data from the same file.
-
-o. Fixed a problem with the `type' and `command' builtins that caused absolute
- pathnames to be displayed incorrectly.
-
-p. Some changes to the `bg' builtin for POSIX conformance.
-
-q. The `fc' builtin now removes the `fc' command that caused it to invoke an
- editor on specified history entries from the history entirely, rather than
- simply ignoring it.
-
-r. When in POSIX mode, the `v' command in vi editing mode simply invokes vi
- on the current command, rather than checking $FCEDIT and $EDITOR.
-
-s. Fixed a small memory leak in the pathname canonicalization code.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that caused the expanded value of a $'...' string to be
- incorrectly re-quoted if it occurred within a double-quoted ${...}
- parameter expansion.
-
-u. Restored default emacs-mode key binding of M-TAB to dynamic-complete-history.
-
-v. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when interrupting loops running builtins
- on some systems.
-
-w. Make sure that some of the functions bash provides replacements for are
- not cpp defines.
-
-x. The code that scans embedded commands for the parser (`...` and $(...)) is
- now more aware of embedded comments and their effect on quoted strings.
-
-y. Changed the `-n' option to the `history' builtin to not reset the number of
- history lines read in the current session after reading the new lines from
- the history file if the history is being appended when it is written to
- the file, since the appending takes care of the problem that the adjustment
- was intended to solve.
-
-z. Improved the error message displayed when a shell script fails to execute
- because the environment and size of command line arguments are too large.
-
-aa. A small fix to make sure that $HISTCMD is evaluated whenever the shell is
- saving commands to the history list, not just when HISTSIZE is defined.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. The `change-case' command now correctly changes the case of multibyte
- characters.
-
-b. Changes to the shared library construction scripts to deal with Windows
- DLL naming conventions for Cygwin.
-
-c. Fixed the redisplay code to avoid core dumps resulting from a poorly-timed
- SIGWINCH.
-
-d. Fixed the non-incremental search code in vi mode to dispose of any current
- undo list when copying a line from the history into the current editing
- buffer.
-
-e. The variable assignment code now ignores whitespace at the end of lines
- when assigning to boolean variables.
-
-f. The `C-w' binding in incremental search now understands multibyte
- characters.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. A new configuration option, `--enable-strict-posix-default', which will
- build bash to be POSIX conforming by default.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. If the rl_completion_query_items is set to a value < 0, readline never
- asks the user whether or not to view the possible completions.

- containing multibyte characters.
-
-e. Fixed a bug that caused bash to not pass the correct flags for signal
- disposition to child processes.

-
-g. Some fixes to `fc' for POSIX conformance.
-
-h. Some fixes to job status display for POSIX conformance.
-
-i. Fixed a bug that caused `command -v' to display output if a command was not

- expanding long lists.
-
-u. Fixed a bug that caused negative offsets in substring expansion to use the
- wrong values.
-
-v. Fixed a bug in printf that caused it to not return failure on write errors.
-
-w. Fixed a bug that caused commands in subshells to not be properly timed.
-
-x. The shell parser no longer attempts to parse a compound assignment specially
- unless in a position where an assignment statement is acceptable or parsing
- arguments to a builtin that accepts assignment statements.
-
-y. Fixed a problem that caused a `case' statement to be added to the history
- incorrectly as a single command if the `case word' was on one line and the
- `in' on another.
-
-z. Fixed a problem that caused internal shell quoting characters to be
- incorrectly quoted with backslashes under some circumstances.
-
-aa. The shell now performs correct word splitting when IFS contains multibyte
- characters.
-
-bb. The mail checking code now resets the cached file information if the size
- drops to 0, even if the times don't change.
-
-cc. A completed command name that is found in $PATH as well as the name of a
- directory in the current directory no longer has a slash appended in certain
- circumstances: a single instance found in $PATH when `.' is not in $PATH,
- and multiple instances found in $PATH, even when `.' is in $PATH.
-
-dd. Incorporated tilde expansion into the word expansion code rather than as a
- separately-called function, fixing some cases where it was performed
- inappropriately (e.g., after the second `=' in an assignment statement or
- in a double-quoted parameter expansion).
-
-ee. Fixed several bugs encountered when parsing compound assignment statements,
- so that compound assignments appearing as arguments to builtins are no
- longer double-expanded.
-
-ff. Fixed a bug in the command execution code that caused asynchronous commands
- containing command substitutions to not put the terminal in the wrong
- process group.
-
-gg. Bash now handles the case where the WCONTINUED flag causes waitpid() to
- return -1/EINVAL at runtime as well as configuration time.
-
-hh. Fixed parser to generate an error when the pipeline `argument' to `!' or
- `time' is NULL.
-
-ii. The shell now takes a little more care when manipulating file descriptors
- greater than 9 with the `exec' builtin.
-
-jj. Fixed a bug that caused variable assignments preceding the `command' builtin
- preceding a special builtin to be preserved after the command completed in
- POSIX mode.
-
-kk. Fixed a bug that allowed variables beginning with a digit to be created.
-
-ll. Fixed a bug that caused a \ to be removed when parsing a $'...'
- construct.
-
-mm. A shell whose name begins with `-' will now be a restricted shell if the
- remainder of the name indicates it should be restricted.
-
-nn. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump if FUNCNAME were changed or unset
- during a function's execution.
-
-oo. Fixed a bug that caused executing a `return' in a function to not execute
- a RETURN trap. The RETURN trap is inherited by shell functions only if
- function tracing is globally enabled or has been enabled for that function.
-
-pp. Fixed cases where var[@] was not handled exactly like var, when var is a
- scalar variable.
-
-qq. Fixed a bug that caused the first character after a SIGINT to be discarded
- under certain circumstances.
-
-rr. Fixed exit status code so that a suspended job returns 128+signal as its
- exit status (preventing commands after it in `&&' lists from being
- executed).
-
-ss. Fixed a bug that caused the shell parser state to be changed by executing
- a shell function as a result of word completion.
-
-tt. Fixed a long-standing bug that caused '\177' characters in variable
- values to be discarded when expanded in double-quoted strings.
-
-uu. Fixed a bug that caused $RANDOM to be re-seeded multiple times in a
- subshell environment.
-
-vv. Extensive changes to the job management code to avoid the pid-reuse and
- pid-aliasing problems caused by retaining the exit status of too many jobs,
- but still retain as many background job statuses as POSIX requires.
-
-ww. Fixed a parser bug in processing \ that caused things like
-
- ((echo 5) \
- (echo 6))
-
- to not work correctly.
-
-xx. `pwd -P' now sets $PWD to a directory name containing no symbolic links
- when in posix mode, as POSIX requires.
-
-yy. In posix mode, bash no longer sets $PWD to a name containing no symbolic
- links if a directory is chosen from $CDPATH.
-
-zz. The word splitting code now treats an IFS character that is not space,
- tab, or newline and any adjacent IFS white space as a single delimiter, as
- SUSv3/XPG6 require.
-
-aaa. The `read' builtin now checks whether or not the number of fields read is
- exactly the same as the number of variables instead of just assigning the
- rest of the line (minus any trailing IFS white space) to the last
- variable. This is what POSIX/SUS/XPG all require.
-
-bbb. Fixed a bug that caused `read' to always check whether or not fd 0 was a
- pipe, even when reading from another file descriptor.
-
-ccc. Fixed a bug that caused short-circuiting of execution even if the return
- value was being inverted.
-
-ddd. Fixed a bug that caused a core dump while decoding \W escapes in PS1 if
- PWD was unset.
-
-eee. Fixed a bug in `read' that counted internal quoting characters for the
- purposes of `read -n'.
-
-fff. Fixed a bug so that a function definition in a pipeline causes a child
- process to be forked at the right time.
-
-ggg. Bash will not attempt to link against a readline library that doesn't
- have rl_gnu_readline_p == 1.
-
-hhh. Fixed a bug that caused `read' to consume one too many characters when
- reading a fixed number of characters and the Nth character is a backslash.
-
-iii. Fixed a bug that caused `unset' on variables in the temporary environment
- to leave them set when `unset' completed.
-
-jjj. Fixed a bug that caused bash to close fd 2 if an `exec' failed and the
- shell didn't exit.
-
-kkk. The completion code is more careful to not turn `/' or `///' into `//',
- for those systems on which `//' has special meaning.
-
-lll. Fixed a bug that caused command substitution in asynchronous commands to
- close the wrong file descriptors.
-
-mmm. The shell no longer prints status messages about terminated background
- processes unless job control is active.
-
-nnn. Fixed a bug that prevented multiple consecutive invocations of `history -s'
- from adding all the commands to the history list.
-
-ooo. Added a couple of changes to make arithmetic expansion more consistent in
- all its contexts (still not perfect).
-
-ppp. Fixed a bug that caused the parser to occasionally not find the right
- terminating "`" in an old-style command substitution.
-
-qqq. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when the shell was reading its non-
- interactive input from fd 0 and fd 0 was duplicated and restored using a
- combination of `exec' (to save) and redirection (to restore).
-
-rrr. Fixed a problem that caused loops in sourced scripts to not be cleaned
- up properly when a `return' is executed.
-
-sss. Change internal command substitution completion function to append a slash
- to directory names in the command.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused multiliine prompts to be wrapped and displayed
- incorrectly.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused ^P/^N in emacs mode to fail to display the current
- line correctly.
-
-c. Fixed a problem in computing the number of invisible characters on the first
- line of a prompt whose length exceeds the screen width.
-
-d. Fixed vi-mode searching so that failure preserves the current line rather
- than the last line in the history list.
-
-e. Fixed the vi-mode `~' command (change-case) to have the correct behavior at
- end-of-line when manipulating multibyte characters.
-
-f. Fixed the vi-mode `r' command (change-char) to have the correct behavior at
- end-of-line when manipulating multibyte characters.
-
-g. Fixed multiple bugs in the redisplay of multibyte characters: displaying
- prompts longer than the screen width containing multibyte characters,
-
-h. Fix the calculation of the number of physical characters in the prompt
- string when it contains multibyte characters.
-
-i. A non-zero value for the `rl_complete_suppress_append' variable now causes
- no `/' to be appended to a directory name.
-
-j. Fixed forward-word and backward-word to work when words contained
- multibyte characters.
-
-k. Fixed a bug in finding the delimiter of a `?' substring when performing
- history expansion in a locale that supports multibyte characters.
-
-l. Fixed a memory leak caused by not freeing the timestamp in a history entry.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused "\M-x" style key bindings to not obey the setting
- of the `convert-meta' variable.
-
-n. Fixed saving and restoring primary prompt when prompting for incremental
- and non-incremental searches; search prompts now display multibyte
- characters correctly.
-
-o. Fixed a bug that caused keys originally bound to self-insert but shadowed
- by a multi-character key sequence to not be inserted.
-
-p. Fixed code so rl_prep_term_function and rl_deprep_term_function aren't
- dereferenced if NULL (matching the documentation).
-
-q. Extensive changes to readline to add enough state so that commands
- requiring additional characters (searches, multi-key sequences, numeric
- arguments, commands requiring an additional specifier character like
- vi-mode change-char, etc.) work without synchronously waiting for
- additional input.
-
-r. Lots of changes so readline builds and runs on MinGW.
-
-s. Readline no longer tries to modify the terminal settings when running in
- callback mode.
-
-t. The Readline display code no longer sets the location of the last invisible
- character in the prompt if the \[\] sequence is empty.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. Bash now understands LC_TIME as a special variable so that time display
- tracks the current locale.
-
-b. BASH_ARGC, BASH_ARGV, BASH_SOURCE, and BASH_LINENO are no longer created
- as `invisible' variables and may not be unset.
-
-c. In POSIX mode, if `xpg_echo' option is enabled, the `echo' builtin doesn't
- try to interpret any options at all, as POSIX requires.
-
-d. The `bg' builtin now accepts multiple arguments, as POSIX seems to specify.
-
-e. Fixed vi-mode word completion and glob expansion to perform tilde
- expansion.
-
-f. The `**' mathematic exponentiation operator is now right-associative.
-
-g. The `ulimit' builtin has new options: -i (max number of pending signals),
- -q (max size of POSIX message queues), and -x (max number of file locks).
-
-h. A bare `%' once again expands to the current job when used as a job
- specifier.
-
-i. The `+=' assignment operator (append to the value of a string or array) is
- now supported for assignment statements and arguments to builtin commands
- that accept assignment statements.
-
-j. BASH_COMMAND now preserves its value when a DEBUG trap is executed.
-
-k. The `gnu_errfmt' option is enabled automatically if the shell is running
- in an emacs terminal window.
-
-l. New configuration option: --single-help-strings. Causes long help text
- to be written as a single string; intended to ease translation.
-
-m. The COMP_WORDBREAKS variable now causes the list of word break characters
- to be emptied when the variable is unset.
-
-n. An unquoted expansion of $* when $IFS is empty now causes the positional
- parameters to be concatenated if the expansion doesn't undergo word
- splitting.
-
-o. Bash now inherits $_ from the environment if it appears there at startup.
-
-p. New shell option: nocasematch. If non-zero, shell pattern matching ignores
- case when used by `case' and `[[' commands.
-
-q. The `printf' builtin takes a new option: -v var. That causes the output
- to be placed into var instead of on stdout.
-
-r. By default, the shell no longer reports processes dying from SIGPIPE.
-
-s. Bash now sets the extern variable `environ' to the export environment it
- creates, so C library functions that call getenv() (and can't use the
- shell-provided replacement) get current values of environment variables.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically
- bound to delete-char.
-
-b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the
- completion list.
-
-c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero,
- readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline
- equivalents when it's called (on by default).
-
-d. New bindable command: vi-rubout. Saves deleted text for possible
- reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound
- to this in vi command mode.
-

-and the previous version, bash-3.0-beta1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused incorrect behavior when referecing element 0 of

- expression evaluator that caused errors when the operands and corresponding
- operators were separated by whitespace.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused `history -p' to add an entry to the history list,
- counter to the documentation. (Keeps the history expansions invoked by
- emacs-mode command line editing from doing that as well.)
-
-g. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump if `cd' is asked to print out a
- pathname longer than PATH_MAX characters.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused jobs to be put into the wrong process group under
- some circumstances after enabling job control with `set -m'.
-
-i. `unalias' now returns failure if no alias name arguments are supplied.
-
-j. Documented the characters not allowed to appear in an alias name.
-
-k. $* is no longer expanded as if in double quotes when it appears in the
- body of a here document, as the SUS seems to require.

- access rather than trying to guess how the underlying OS provides for
- secure temporary file creation.
-
-m. Fixed a few problems with `cd' and `pwd' when asked to operate on pathnames
- longer than PATH_MAX characters.
-
-n. Fixed a memory leak caused when creating multiple local array variables

- bytes.
-
-p. The `trap' builtin now reports an error if a single non-signal argument
- is specified.
-
-q. Fixed a bug that caused `umask' to not work correctly when presented
- with a mask of all 0s.
-
-r. When `getopts' reaches the end of options, OPTARG is unset, as POSIX
- appears to specify.
-
-s. Interactive mode now depends on whether or not stdin and stderr are
- connected to a tty; formerly it was stdin and stdout. POSIX requires
- this.
-
-t. Fixed vi-mode completion to work more as POSIX specifies (e.g., doing the
- right kind of filename generation).
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a problem that could cause readline to refer to freed memory when
- moving between history lines while doing searches.
-
-b. Improvements to the code that expands and displays prompt strings

- now only supported when `trap' is given a single non-option argument.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. When listing completions, directories have a `/' appended if the
- `mark-directories' option has been enabled.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.0-beta1,

-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixes to build correctly when arrays are not compiled into the shell.
-
-b. Fixed command substitution to run any exit trap defined in the command
- substitution before returning; the exit trap is not inherited from the
- calling shell.
-
-c. Fixes to process group synchronization code so that every child process
- attempts to set the terminal's process group; fixes some synchronization
- problems on Linux kernels that schedule the child to always run before
- the parent.
-
-d. Fixed processing of octal and hex constants in printf builtin for POSIX.2
- compliance.
-
-e. Fixed a couple of core dumps in the pattern removal code.
-

- arrays.
-
-g. Parser errors and other errors that result in the shell exiting now cause

- closing quote, because it would be inserted a closing "`" or ")".
-
-i. Fix history initialization so assignments to $histchars made in startup
- files are honored.
-
-j. If an exit trap does not contain a call to `exit', the shell now uses
- the exit status of the last command executed before the trap as the exit
- status of the shell.
-
-k. The parser now prompts with $PS2 if it reads a newline while parsing a
- compound array assignment statement.
-
-l. When performing a compound array assignment, the parser doesn't treat
- words of the form [index]=value as assignments if they're the result of
- expansions.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused `return' executed in a trap command to make the
- shell think it was still running the trap.
-
-n. Fixed the value of errno set by the pathname canonicalization functions.
-
-o. Changed the grammar so that `time' alone on a line times a null command
- rather than being a syntax error.
-
-p. The pattern substitution code no longer performs quote removal on the
- pattern before trying to match it, as the pattern removal functions do.
-
-q. Fixed a bug that could cause core dumps when checking whether a quoted
- command name was being completed.
-
-r. Fixes to the pattern removal and pattern replacement expansions to deal
- with multibyte characters better (and faster).
-
-s. Fix to the substring expansion (${param:off[:len]}) to deal with (possibly
- multibyte) characters instead of raw bytes.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that caused some key bindings set in an inputrc to be ignored
- at shell startup.
-
-u. Fixed a bug that caused unsetting a local variable within a function to
- not work correctly.
-
-v. Fixed a bug that caused invalid variables to be created when using

- character of $IFS was not a space.
-
-x. Fixed a slight cosmetic problem when printing commands containing a
- `>&word' redirection.
-
-y. Fixed a problem that could cause here documents to not be created correctly
- if the system temporary directory did not allow writing.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Change to history expansion functions to treat `^' as equivalent to word
- one, as the documention states.
-
-b. Some changes to the display code to improve display and redisplay of
- multibyte characters.
-
-c. Changes to speed up the multibyte character redisplay code.
-
-d. Fixed a bug in the vi-mode `E' command that caused it to skip over the
- last character of a word if invoked while point was on the word's
- next-to-last character.
-
-e. Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect filename quoting when
- case-insensitive completion was enabled and the word being completed
- contained backslashes quoting word break characters.
-
-f. Fixed a bug in redisplay triggered when the prompt string contains
- invisible characters.
-
-g. Fixed some display (and other) bugs encountered in multibyte locales
- when a non-ascii character was the last character on a line.
-
-h. Fixed some display bugs caused by multibyte characters in prompt strings.
-
-i. Fixed a problem with history expansion caused by non-whitespace characters
- used as history word delimiters.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. printf builtin understands two new escape sequences: \" and \?.
-
-b. `echo -e' understands two new escape sequences: \" and \?.
-
-c. The GNU `gettext' package and libintl have been integrated; the shell's
- messages can be translated into different languages.
-
-d. The `\W' prompt expansion now abbreviates $HOME as `~', like `\w'.
-
-e. The error message printed when bash cannot open a shell script supplied
- as argument 1 now includes the name of the shell, to better identify
- the error as coming from bash.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. New application variable, rl_completion_quote_character, set to any
- quote character readline finds before it calls the application completion
- function.
-
-b. New application variable, rl_completion_suppress_quote, settable by an
- application completion function. If set to non-zero, readline does not
- attempt to append a closing quote to a completed word.
-
-c. New application variable, rl_completion_found_quote, set to a non-zero
- value if readline determines that the word to be completed is quoted.
- Set before readline calls any application completion function.
-
-d. New function hook, rl_completion_word_break_hook, called when readline
- needs to break a line into words when completion is attempted. Allows
- the word break characters to vary based on position in the line.
-
-e. New bindable command: unix-filename-rubout. Does the same thing as
- unix-word-rubout, but adds `/' to the set of word delimiters.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.0-alpha,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05b-release.

- defined.
-
-b. Fixed an error message that did not pass enough arguments to printf.

- read and buffered script to be discarded.
-
-d. Fixed a bug that caused subshell initialization to close the file
- descriptor from which the shell was reading a script under certain
- circumstances.
-
-e. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to not advance a string pointer over
- a null wide character when doing string operations.
-
-f. Fixed the internal logout code so that shells that time out waiting for
- input (using $TMOUT) run ~/.bash_logout.
-
-g. Portability and configuration changes for: cygwin, HP/UX, GNU/FreeBSD.
-
-h. The parser no longer adds implicit double quotes to ((...)) arithmetic
- commands.
-
-i. The ((...)) arithmetic command evaluation code was fixed to not dump core
- when the expanded string is null.
-
-j. The ((...)) arithmetic command evaluation code was fixed to not perform
- variable assignments while expanding the expression.
-
-k. Fixed a bug that caused word splitting to be performed incorrectly when
- IFS is set, but null.
-
-l. Fixed a bug in brace expansion that caused a quoted `$' preceding an
- open brace to inhibit brace expansion.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused a leading `-' in the shell's name to cause it to
- not be recognized as a restricted shell.
-
-n. Fixed a bug in the arithmetic evaluation code that could cause longjmps
- to an invalid location and result in a core dump.
-
-o. Fixed a bug in the calculation of how many history lines are new in a
- single shell session when reading new history lines from a file with
- `history -n'.
-
-p. Fixed a bug in pathname canonicalization that caused the shell to dump
- core when presented with a pathname longer than PATH_MAX.
-
-q. Fixed the parser so that it doesn't try to compare a char variable to
- EOF, which fails when chars are unsigned.
-
-r. Fixed a bug in the simple command execution code that caused occasional
- core dumps.
-
-s. The shell does a better job of saving any partial parsing state during
- operations which cause a command to be executed while a line is being
- entered and parsed.
-
-t. The completion code now splits words more like the expansion code when
- $IFS is used to split.
-
-u. The locale code does a better job of recomputing the various locale
- variable values when LC_ALL is unset.
-
-v. The programmable completion code does a better job of dequoting expanded
- word lists before comparing them against the word to be matched.
-
-w. The shell no longer seg faults if the expanded value of $PS4 is null
- and `set -x' is enabled.
-
-x. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when a here string expanded to NULL.
-
-y. The mail checking code now makes sure the mailbox is bigger before
- reporting the existence of new mail.
-
-z. The parser does not try to expand $'...' and $"..." when the appear
- within double quotes unless the `extquote' option has been enabled with
- `shopt'. For backwards compatibility, it is enabled by default.
-
-aa. Fixed a bug that caused `for x; do ...' and `select x; do ... to use
- $@ instead of "$@" for the implicit list of arguments.
-
-bb. Fixed a bug that caused a subshell of a restricted shell (e.g., one
- spawned to execute a pipeline) to not exit immediately if attempting
- to use a command containing a slash.
-
-cc. Fixed a problem with empty replacements for a pattern that doesn't match
- when performing ${param/word/} expansion.
-
-dd. Word expansions performed while expanding redirections no longer search
- a command's temporary environment to expand variable values.
-
-ee. Improvements to the alias expansion code when expanding subsequent words
- because an aliase's value ends with a space.
-
-ff. `cd -' now prints the current working directory after a successful chdir
- even when the shell is not interactive, as the standard requires.
-
-gg. The shell does a better job of ensuring a child process dies of SIGINT
- before resending SIGINT to itself.
-
-hh. The arithmetic expansion variable assignment code now does the right
- thing when assigning to `special' variables like OPTIND.
-
-ii. When history expansion verification is enabled, the bash readline helper
- functions that do history expansion on the current line don't print
- the results.
-
-jj. Fixed bugs with multiple consecutive alias expansion when one of the
- expansions ends with a space.
-
-kk. Fixed a problem in the programmable completion code that could cause core
- dumps when trying to initialize a set of possible completions from a
- list of variables.
-
-ll. The \[ and \] escape characters are now ignored when decoding the prompt
- string if the shell is started with editing disabled.
-
-mm. Fixed a bug that could leave extra characters in a string when doing
- quoted null character removal.
-
-nn. Command substitution and other subshell operations no longer reset the
- line number (aids the bash debugger).
-
-oo. Better line number management when executing simple commands, conditional
- commands, for commands, and select commands.
-
-pp. The globbing code now uses malloc, with its better failure properties,
- rather than alloca().

- by the internal shell string quoting functions.
-
-uu. Fixed a bug that caused quoted null characters in an expanded word list
- to be inappropriately assigned to an array variable when using `read -a'.
-
-vv. Fixed a bug that caused redirections accompanying a null command to persist
- in the current shell.
-
-ww. Fixed a bug that caused the prompt to be printed when the shell was
- expanding a multiline alias.
-
-xx. Fixed a bug that resulted in core dumps when the completion for a command
- changed the compspec.
-
-yy. Fixed a bug that caused evaluation of programmable completions to print
- notifications of completed jobs.
-
-zz. Bash now disables line editing when $EMACS == `t' and $TERM == `dumb'
- (which is what emacs shell windows do).
-
-aaa. In posix mode, `kill -l' causes signal names to be displayed without
- a leading `SIG'.
-
-bbb. Clear error flag on standard output so it doesn't persist across multiple
- builtin commands.
-
-ccc. In posix mode, `alias' displays alias values without the leading `alias',
- so the output cannot be used as subsequent input.
-
-ddd. In posix mode, the `trap' builtin doesn't check whether or not its
- first argument is a signal specification and revert the signal handling
- to its original disposition if it is.
-
-eee. Fixed several bugs in the handling of "$*" and "${array[*]}" by the
- pattern substitution and removal expansions.
-
-fff. Fixed several problems with the handling of ${array[@]}, ${array[*]},
- $@, and $* by the indirect variable expansion code.
-
-ggg. Fixed a bug that did not allow `time' to be aliased.
-
-hhh. Improved the mail checking code so it won't check (and possibly cause an
- NFS file system mount) until MAILPATH or MAIL is given a value -- there
- is no default if DEFAULT_MAIL_DIRECTORY is not defined at compile time.
- (It is computed by configure, but can be #undef'd in config-bot.h.)
-
-iii. If the `chkwinsize' option is enabled, the shell checks for window size
- changes if a child process exits due to a signal.
-
-jjj. Removed the attempts to avoid adding a slash at the end of a completed
- executable name if there was a directory with the same name in the
- current directory.
-
-kkk. Fixed PATH lookup code so it treats the permission bits separately for
- owner, group, and other, rather than checking them all.
-
-lll. Fixed the locale code to reset the parser's idea of the character class
- , which controls how it splits tokens, when the locale changes.
-
-mmm. The shell now binds its special readline functions and key bindings only
- if the user's inputrc file has not already bound them.
-
-nnn. The shell now reports on processes that dump core due to signals when
- invoked as `-c command'.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixes to avoid core dumps because of null pointer references in the
- multibyte character code.
-
-b. Fix to avoid infinite recursion caused by certain key combinations.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that caused the vi-mode `last command' to be set incorrectly.
-
-d. Readline no longer tries to read ahead more than one line of input, even
- when more is available.
-
-e. Fixed the code that adjusts the point to not mishandle null wide
- characters.
-
-f. Fixed a bug in the history expansion `g' modifier that caused it to skip
- every other match.
-
-g. Fixed a bug that caused the prompt to overwrite previous output when the
- output doesn't contain a newline and the locale supports multibyte
- characters. This same change fixes the problem of readline redisplay
- slowing down dramatically as the line gets longer in multibyte locales.
-
-h. History traversal with arrow keys in vi insertion mode causes the cursor
- to be placed at the end of the new line, like in emacs mode.
-
-i. The locale initialization code does a better job of using the right
- precedence and defaulting when checking the appropriate environment
- variables.
-
-j. Fixed the history word tokenizer to handle <( and >( better when used as
- part of bash.
-
-k. The overwrite mode code received several bug fixes to improve undo.
-
-l. Many speedups to the multibyte character redisplay code.
-
-m. The callback character reading interface should not hang waiting to read
- keyboard input.
-
-n. Fixed a bug with redoing vi-mode `s' command.
-
-o. The code that initializes the terminal tracks changes made to the terminal
- special characters with stty(1) (or equivalent), so that these changes
- are reflected in the readline bindings. New application-callable function
- to make it work: rl_tty_unset_default_bindings().
-
-p. Fixed a bug that could cause garbage to be inserted in the buffer when
- changing character case in vi mode when using a multibyte locale.
-
-q. Fixed a bug in the redisplay code that caused problems on systems
- supporting multibyte characters when moving between history lines when the
- new line has more glyphs but fewer bytes.
-
-r. Undo and redo now work better after exiting vi insertion mode.
-
-s. Make sure system calls are restarted after a SIGWINCH is received using
- SA_RESTART.
-
-t. Improvements to the code that displays possible completions when using
- multibyte characters.
-
-u. Fixed a problem when parsing nested if statements in inputrc files.
-
-v. The completer now takes multibyte characters into account when looking for
- quoted substrings on which to perform completion.
-
-w. The history search functions now perform better bounds checking on the
- history list.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. ANSI string expansion now implements the \x{hexdigits} escape.
-
-b. There is a new loadable `strftime' builtin.
-
-c. New variable, COMP_WORDBREAKS, which controls the readline completer's
- idea of word break characters.
-
-d. The `type' builtin no longer reports on aliases unless alias expansion
- will actually be performed.
-
-e. HISTCONTROL is now a colon-separated list of values, which permits
- more extensibility and backwards compatibility.
-
-f. HISTCONTROL may now include the `erasedups' option, which causes all lines
- matching a line being added to be removed from the history list.
-
-g. `configure' has a new `--enable-multibyte' argument that permits multibyte
- character support to be disabled even on systems that support it.
-
-h. New variables to support the bash debugger: BASH_ARGC, BASH_ARGV,
- BASH_SOURCE, BASH_LINENO, BASH_SUBSHELL, BASH_EXECUTION_STRING,
- BASH_COMMAND
-
-i. FUNCNAME has been changed to support the debugger: it's now an array
- variable.
-
-j. for, case, select, arithmetic commands now keep line number information
- for the debugger.
-
-k. There is a new `RETURN' trap executed when a function or sourced script
- returns (not inherited child processes; inherited by command substitution
- if function tracing is enabled and the debugger is active).
-
-l. New invocation option: --debugger. Enables debugging and turns on new
- `extdebug' shell option.
-
-m. New `functrace' and `errtrace' options to `set -o' cause DEBUG and ERR
- traps, respectively, to be inherited by shell functions. Equivalent to
- `set -T' and `set -E' respectively. The `functrace' option also controls
- whether or not the DEBUG trap is inherited by sourced scripts.
-
-n. The DEBUG trap is run before binding the variable and running the action
- list in a `for' command, binding the selection variable and running the
- query in a `select' command, and before attempting a match in a `case'
- command.
-
-o. New `--enable-debugger' option to `configure' to compile in the debugger
- support code.
-
-p. `declare -F' now prints out extra line number and source file information
- if the `extdebug' option is set.
-
-q. If `extdebug' is enabled, a non-zero return value from a DEBUG trap causes
- the next command to be skipped, and a return value of 2 while in a
- function or sourced script forces a `return'.
-
-r. New `caller' builtin to provide a call stack for the bash debugger.
-
-s. The DEBUG trap is run just before the first command in a function body is
- executed, for the debugger.
-
-t. `for', `select', and `case' command heads are printed when `set -x' is
- enabled.
-
-u. There is a new {x..y} brace expansion, which is shorthand for {x.x+1,
- x+2,...,y}. x and y can be integers or single characters; the sequence
- may ascend or descend; the increment is always 1.
-
-v. New ksh93-like ${!array[@]} expansion, expands to all the keys (indices)
- of array.
-
-w. New `force_fignore' shopt option; if enabled, suffixes specified by
- FIGNORE cause words to be ignored when performing word completion even
- if they're the only possibilities.
-
-x. New `gnu_errfmt' shopt option; if enabled, error messages follow the `gnu
- style' (filename:lineno:message) format.
-
-y. New `-o bashdefault' option to complete and compgen; if set, causes the
- whole set of bash completions to be performed if the compspec doesn't
- result in a match.
-
-z. New `-o plusdirs' option to complete and compgen; if set, causes directory
- name completion to be performed and the results added to the rest of the
- possible completions.
-
-aa. `kill' is available as a builtin even when the shell is built without
- job control.
-
-bb. New HISTTIMEFORMAT variable; value is a format string to pass to
- strftime(3). If set and not null, the `history' builtin prints out
- timestamp information according to the specified format when displaying
- history entries. If set, bash tells the history library to write out
- timestamp information when the history file is written.
-
-cc. The [[ ... ]] command has a new binary `=~' operator that performs
- extended regular expression (egrep-like) matching.
-
-dd. `configure' has a new `--enable-cond-regexp' option (enabled by default)
- to enable the =~ operator and regexp matching in [[ ... ]].
-
-ee. Subexpressions matched by the =~ operator are placed in the new
- BASH_REMATCH array variable.
-
-ff. New `failglob' option that causes an expansion error when pathname
- expansion fails to produce a match.
-
-gg. New `set -o pipefail' option that causes a pipeline to return a failure
- status if any of the processes in the pipeline fail, not just the last
- one.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. History expansion has a new `a' modifier equivalent to the `g' modifier
- for compatibility with the BSD csh.
-
-b. History expansion has a new `G' modifier equivalent to the BSD csh `g'
- modifier, which performs a substitution once per word.
-
-c. All non-incremental search operations may now undo the operation of
- replacing the current line with the history line.
-
-d. The text inserted by an `a' command in vi mode can be reinserted with
- `.'.
-
-e. New bindable variable, `show-all-if-unmodified'. If set, the readline
- completer will list possible completions immediately if there is more
- than one completion and partial completion cannot be performed.
-
-f. There is a new application-callable `free_history_entry()' function.
-
-g. History list entries now contain timestamp information; the history file
- functions know how to read and write timestamp information associated
- with each entry.
-
-h. Four new key binding functions have been added:
-
- rl_bind_key_if_unbound()
- rl_bind_key_if_unbound_in_map()
- rl_bind_keyseq_if_unbound()
- rl_bind_keyseq_if_unbound_in_map()

- $EMACS == `t'.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05b-beta2,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05b-beta1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed the /= and %= arithmetic operators to catch division by zero.

- behavior when the number of process substitutions in an individual
- command approached 64.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a problem with backward-char-search when on a system with support
- for multibyte characters when running in a locale without any multibyte
- characters.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05b-beta1,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05b-alpha1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a problem when parsing a POSIX.2 character class name while
- evaluating a bracket expression containing multibyte characters.
-
-b. Changed the help text for `bind' to make it clear that any command
- that may be placed in ~/.inputrc is a valid argument to `bind'.
-
-c. Added `help' builtin entries for `((', `[[', and arithmetic for.
-
-d. malloc updated again:
- o slightly better overflow and underflow detection by putting the
- chunk size at the beginning and end of the chunk and making
- sure they match in free/realloc
- o partial page allocated to make things page-aligned no longer
- completely wasted
- o block coalescing now enabled by default
- o splitting and coalescing enabled for 32-byte chunks, the most
- common size requested
- o fixed a problem that resulted in spurious underflow messages and
- aborts
- o bin sizes are precomputed and stored in an array rather than
- being computed at run time
- o malloc will return memory blocks back to the system if the block
- being freed is at the top of the heap and of sufficient size to
- make it worthwhile
- o malloc/free/realloc now inline memset instead of calling the
- libc function; uses Duff's device for good performance
-
-e. Check for getservent(); make the service name completion code dependent
- on its presence.
-
-f. Changed the readline callback that executes a command bound to a key
- sequence to not save the executed command on the history list and to
- save and restore the parsing state.
-
-g. Changes to lib/sh/snprintf.c: fixed some bugs in the `g' and `G'
- floating point format display; implemented the "'" flag character
- that turns on thousands' grouping; fixed behavior on systems where
- MB_CUR_MAX does not evaluate to a constant.
-
-h. The `unset' builtin no longer returns a failure status when asked to
- unset a previously-unset variable or function.
-
-i. Changes to the build system to make it easier to cross-compile bash
- for different systems.
-
-j. Added `,' to the characters that are backslash-escaped during filename
- completion, to avoid problems with complete-into-braces and RCS filenames
- containing commas.
-
-k. Some changes to the multibyte character support code to avoid many calls
- to strlen().
-
-l. Bash now correctly honors setting LANG to some value when LC_ALL does not
- already have a value.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that could cause SIGSEGV when processing nested traps with
- trap handlers.
-
-n. The `source/.' builtin now restores the positional parameters when it
- returns unless they were changed using the `set' builtin during the file's
- execution.
-
-o. Fixed a bug that caused a syntax error when a command was terminated by
- EOF.
-
-2. New Features in Bash
-
-a. There is now support for placing the long help text into separate files
- installed into ${datadir}/bash. Not enabled by default; can be turned
- on with `--enable-separate-helpfiles' option to configure.
-
-b. All builtins that take operands accept a `--' pseudo-option, except
- `echo'.
-
-c. The `echo' builtin now accepts \0xxx (zero to three octal digits following
- the `0') in addition to \xxx (one to three octal digits) for SUSv3/XPG6/
- POSIX.1-2001 compliance.
-
-3. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a small problem in _rl_insert_char with multibyte characters.
-
-b. Fixes from IBM for line wrapping problems when using multibyte characters.
-
-c. Fixed a problem which caused the display to be messed up when the last
- line of a multi-line prompt (possibly containing invisible characters)
- was longer than the screen width.
-
-d. Fixed a problem with the vi-mode `r' command that ocurred on systems with
- support for multibyte characters when running in a locale without any
- multibyte characters.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05b-alpha1,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05a-release.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Some changes to work around inlining differences between compilers.
-
-b. Added more prototypes for internal shell typedefs, to catch argument
- passing errors when using pointers to functions.
-
-c. The `cd' builtin now fails in posix mode when a valid directory cannot be
- constructed from a relative pathname argument and the $PWD using pathname
- canonicalization, and the -P option has not been supplied. Previously,
- the shell would attempt to use what the user typed, leading to weird
- values for $PWD and discrepancies between the value of $PWD and the
- actual working directory.
-
-d. The `cd' builtin now resets $PWD when canonicalization fails but a chdir
- to the pathname passed as an argument succeeds (when not in posix mode).
-
-e. The `fc' builtin has been fixed, as POSIX requires, to use the closest
- history position in range when given an out-of-range argument.
-
-f. The history file loading code was changed to allow lines to be saved in
- the history list from the shell startup files.
-
-g. `history -s args' now works better in compound commands.
-
-h. The tilde expansion code was fixed to better recognize when it's being
- invoked in an assignment context, which enables expansion after `='
- and `:'.
-
-i. Fixed the command name completion code so a slash is no longer appended
- to a single match if there happens to be a directory with that name in
- $PWD.
-
-j. Fixed compound array assignment to no longer perform alias expansion, to
- allow reserved words as array members, and to not produce extra output
- when the `-v' option had been enabled.
-
-k. Fixed the programmable completion code to better handle newlines in lists
- of possible completions (e.g., `complete -W').
-
-l. Removed the reserved words from the `bash-builtins' manual page.
-
-m. Parser error reporting now attempts to do a better job of identifying the
- token in error rather than doing straight textual analysis.
-
-n. Fixes for Inf/NaN, locales, wide/multibyte characters and zero-length
- arguments in the library snprintf(3) replacement.
-
-o. `read -e' no longer does command name completion on the first word on
- the line being read.
-
-p. `select' now returns failure if the read of the user's selection fails.
-
-q. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump when setting $PIPESTATUS.
-
-r. Fixes to not allocate so many job slots when the shell is running a loop
- with job control enabled in a subshell of an interactive shell.
-
-s. Fixed a bug in the trap code that caused traps to be inherited by
- command substitutions in some cases.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that could cause alias expansion to inappropriately expand
- the word following the alias.
-
-u. Fixed a bug in the `kill' builtin that mishandled negative pid arguments.
-
-v. The parser is less lenient when parsing assignment statements where the
- characters before the `=' don't comprise a valid identifier.
-
-w. The arithmetic expression evaluation code now honors the setting of the
- `-u' option when expanding variable names.
-
-x. Fixed the arithmetic evaluation code to allow array subscripts to be
- assigned (`let b[7]=42') and auto-incremented and auto-decremented
- (e.g., b[7]++).
-
-y. Reimplemented the existing prompt string date and time expansions using
- strftime(3), which changed the output of \@ in some locales.
-
-z. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump when a special shell variable
- (like RANDOM) was converted to an array with a variable assignment.
-
-aa. Fixed a bug that would reset the handler for a signal the user had
- trapped to a function that would exit the shell when setting the exit
- trap in a non-interactive shell.
-
-bb. Changed the execve(2) wrapper code to check whether or not a failing
- command is a directory before looking at whether a `#!' interpreter
- failed for some reason.
-
-cc. Fixed a bug in the command printing code so it no longer inserts a `;'
- after a newline, which produces a syntax error when reused as input.
-
-dd. The code that expands $PS4 no longer inherits the `-x' flag.
-
-ee. The bash-specific completion functions may now take advantage of the
- double-TAB and M-? features of the standard readline completion
- functions.
-
-ff. The mail checking code no longer prints a message if the checked file's
- size has not increased, even if the access time is less than the modification time.
-
-gg. Rewrote the variable symbol table code: there is now a stack of
- contexts, each possibly including a separate symbol table; there can
- be more than one temporary environment supplied to nested invocations
- of `./source'; the temporary environments no longer require so much
- special-case code; shell functions now handle the temporary environment
- and local variables more consistently; function scope exit is faster now
- that the entire symbol table does not have to be traversed to dispose of
- local variables; it is now easier to push vars from the temporary
- environment to the shell's variable table in posix mode; some duplicated
- code has been removed.
-
-hh. Regularized the error message printing code; builtin_error is now called
- more consistently, and common error message strings are handled by small
- functions. This should make eventual message translation easier.
-
-ii. Error messages now include the line number in a script when the shell
- is not interactive.
-
-jj. Array subscript expansion now takes place even when the array variable is
- unset, so side effects will take place.
-
-kk. Fixed a bug in the SICGHLD child-reaping code so that it won't find
- jobs already marked as terminated if the OS reuses pids quickly enough.
-
-ll. Fixed a bug that could cause a signal to not interrupt the `wait'
- builtin while it was waiting for a background process to terminate.
-
-mm. A couple of changes to make it easier for multiple shells to share history
- files using `history -n', `history -r', and `history -w'.
-
-nn. The `getopts' builtin always increments OPTIND to point to the next
- option to be handled when an option is returned, whether it's valid
- or not, as POSIX 1003.x-2001 requires.
-
-oo. Changed some parts of the expansion code to avoid allocating and
- immediately freeing memory without using the results for anything.
-
-pp. The shell now keeps track of $IFS internally, updating its internal map
- each time the variable is assigned a new value (or at local scope exit).
- This saves thousands of hash lookups for IFS, which, while individually
- cheap, add up.
-
-qq. Rewrote the hash table code: searching and insertion are much faster now,
- and it uses a better string hashing function; augmented the function
- interface to simplify other parts of the code and remove duplicated code
-
-rr. The shell now uses a simple, generic `object cache' for allocating and
- caching words and word lists, which were the major users of
- malloc/free.
-
-ss. Fixed the assignment statement parsing code to allow whitespace and
- newlines in subscripts when performing array element assignment.
-
-tt. The shell now issues many fewer calls to sigprocmask and other signal
- masking system calls.
-
-uu. Fixed the `test' and conditional command file comparison operators to
- work right when one file has a non-positive timestamp and the other
- does not exist.
-
-vv. Fixed some cases where the special characters '\001' and '\177' in the
- values of variables or positional parameters caused incorrect expansion
- results.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed output of comment-begin character when listing variable values.
-
-b. Added some default key bindings for common escape sequences produced by
- HOME and END keys.
-
-c. Fixed the mark handling code to be more emacs-compatible.
-
-d. A bug was fixed in the code that prints possible completions to keep it
- from printing empty strings in certain circumstances.
-
-e. Change the key sequence printing code to print ESC as M\- if ESC is a
- meta-prefix character -- it's easier for users to understand than \e.
-
-f. Fixed unstifle_history() to return values that match the documentation.
-
-g. Fixed the event loop (rl_event_hook) to handle the case where the input
- file descriptor is invalidated.
-
-h. Fixed the prompt display code to work better when the application has a
- custom redisplay function.
-
-i. Changes to make reading and writing the history file a little faster, and
- to cope with huge history files without calling abort(3) from xmalloc.
-
-j. The vi-mode `S' and `s' commands are now undone correctly.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. If set, TMOUT is the default timeout for the `read' builtin.
-
-b. `type' has two new options: `-f' suppresses shell function lookup, and
- `-P' forces a $PATH search.
-
-c. New code to handle multibyte characters.
-
-d. `select' was changed to be more ksh-compatible, in that the menu is
- reprinted each time through the loop only if REPLY is set to NULL.
- The previous behavior is available as a compile-time option.
-
-e. `complete -d' and `complete -o dirnames' now force a slash to be
- appended to names which are symlinks to directories.
-
-f. There is now a bindable edit-and-execute-command readline command,
- like the vi-mode `v' command, bound to C-xC-e in emacs mode.
-
-g. Added support for ksh93-like [:word:] character class in pattern matching.
-
-h. The $'...' quoting construct now expands \cX to Control-X.
-
-i. A new \D{...} prompt expansion; passes the `...' to strftime and inserts
- the result into the expanded prompt.
-
-j. The shell now performs arithmetic in the largest integer size the
- machine supports (intmax_t), instead of long.
-
-k. If a numeric argument is supplied to one of the bash globbing completion
- functions, a `*' is appended to the word before expansion is attempted.
-
-l. The bash globbing completion functions now allow completions to be listed
- with double tabs or if `show-all-if-ambiguous' is set.
-
-m. New `-o nospace' option for `complete' and `compgen' builtins; suppresses
- readline's appending a space to the completed word.
-
-n. New `here-string' redirection operator: <<< word.
-
-o. When displaying variables, function attributes and definitions are shown
- separately, allowing them to be re-used as input (attempting to re-use
- the old output would result in syntax errors).
-
-p. There is a new configuration option `--enable-mem-scramble', controls
- bash malloc behavior of writing garbage characters into memory at
- allocation and free time.
-
-q. The `complete' and `compgen' builtins now have a new `-s/-A service'
- option to complete on names from /etc/services.
-
-r. `read' has a new `-u fd' option to read from a specified file descriptor.
-
-s. Fix the completion code so that expansion errors in a directory name
- don't cause a longjmp back to the command loop.
-
-t. Fixed word completion inside command substitution to work a little more
- intuitively.
-
-u. The `printf' %q format specifier now uses $'...' quoting to print the
- argument if it contains non-printing characters.
-
-v. The `declare' and `typeset' builtins have a new `-t' option. When applied
- to functions, it causes the DEBUG trap to be inherited by the named
- function. Currently has no effect on variables.
-
-w. The DEBUG trap is now run *before* simple commands, ((...)) commands,
- [[...]] conditional commands, and for ((...)) loops.
-
-x. The expansion of $LINENO inside a shell function is only relative to the
- function start if the shell is interactive -- if the shell is running a
- script, $LINENO expands to the line number in the script. This is as
- POSIX-2001 requires.
-
-y. The bash debugger in examples/bashdb has been modified to work with the
- new DEBUG trap semantics, the command set has been made more gdb-like,
- and the changes to $LINENO make debugging functions work better. Code
- from Gary Vaughan.
-
-z. New [n]<&word- and [n]>&word- redirections from ksh93 -- move fds (dup
- and close).
-
-aa. There is a new `-l' invocation option, equivalent to `--login'.
-
-bb. The `hash' builtin has a new `-l' option to list contents in a reusable
- format, and a `-d' option to remove a name from the hash table.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. Support for key `subsequences': allows, e.g., ESC and ESC-a to both
- be bound to readline functions. Now the arrow keys may be used in vi
- insert mode.
-
-b. When listing completions, and the number of lines displayed is more than
- the screen length, readline uses an internal pager to display the results.
- This is controlled by the `page-completions' variable (default on).
-
-c. New code to handle editing and displaying multibyte characters.
-
-d. The behavior introduced in bash-2.05a of deciding whether or not to
- append a slash to a completed name that is a symlink to a directory has
- been made optional, controlled by the `mark-symlinked-directories'
- variable (default is the 2.05a behavior).
-
-e. The `insert-comment' command now acts as a toggle if given a numeric
- argument: if the first characters on the line don't specify a
- comment, insert one; if they do, delete the comment text
-
-f. New application-settable completion variable:
- rl_completion_mark_symlink_dirs, allows an application's completion
- function to temporarily override the user's preference for appending
- slashes to names which are symlinks to directories.
-
-g. New function available to application completion functions:
- rl_completion_mode, to tell how the completion function was invoked
- and decide which argument to supply to rl_complete_internal (to list
- completions, etc.).
-
-h. Readline now has an overwrite mode, toggled by the `overwrite-mode'
- bindable command, which could be bound to `Insert'.
-
-i. New application-settable completion variable:
- rl_completion_suppress_append, inhibits appending of
- rl_completion_append_character to completed words.
-
-j. New key bindings when reading an incremental search string: ^W yanks
- the currently-matched word out of the current line into the search
- string; ^Y yanks the rest of the current line into the search string,
- DEL or ^H deletes characters from the search string.

- argument to a %n conversion must be a valid shell identifier.
-
-b. Improved the random number generator slightly.
-
-c. Changes to configuration to not put -I/usr/include into $CFLAGS, since
- it messes up some includes.
-
-d. Corrected description of POSIXLY_CORRECT in man page and info manual.
-
-e. Fixed a couple of cases of incorrect function prototypes that sneaked
- through and caused compilation problems.
-

- required.
-
-i. Changes to the strtoimax and strtoumax replacement functions to work
- around buggy compilers.
-

- potentially cause a core dump.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a locale-specific problem in the vi-mode `goto mark' command.
-
-b. Fixed Makefile to not put -I/usr/include into CFLAGS, since it can cause

-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05a-rc1,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05a-beta1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed the snprintf replacement to correctly implement the `alternate form'
- of the %g and %G conversions.
-
-b. Fixed snprintf to correctly handle the optional precision with the %g and
- %G conversions.
-
-c. Fixed the arithmetic evaluation code to correct the values of `@' and `_'
- when translating base-64 constants (they were backwards).
-
-d. New library functions for formatting long and long long ints.
-
-e. Fixed a few places where negative array subscripts could have occurred,
- mostly as the result of systems using signed characters.
-
-f. Fixed a few places that assumed a pid_t was no wider than an int.
-
-g. Fixed the `maildir' mail checking code to work on systems where a
- `struct stat' doesn't include an `st_blocks' member.
-
-h. Fixed snprintf to make `unsigned long long' conversion formats (%llu)
- work better.
-
-i. Fixed snprintf to not print a sign when asked to do an unsigned conversion.
-
-j. Made configure changes to avoid compiling empty source files in lib/sh.
-
-k. New replacement functions (if necessary) for strtoull, strtoll, strtoimax,
- strtoumax.
-
-l. The `printf' builtin now handles the `ll' and `j' length modifiers
- directly, since they can affect the type and width of the argument
- passed to printf(3).
-
-m. Renamed a number of the bash-specific autoconf macros in aclocal.m4 to
- have more sytematic naming, with accompanying changes to configure.in.
-
-n. Fixed snprintf to handle long doubles and the %a/%A conversions by
- falling back to sprintf, as long as sprintf supports them.
-
-o. Fixed return value from vsnprintf/snprintf to be the number of characters
- that would have been printed, even if that number exceeds the buffer
- size passed as an argument.
-
-p. Bash no longer attempts to define its own versions of some ctype macros
- if they are implemented as functions in libc but not as macros in
- .
-
-q. Changed the variable printing code (used by `set', `export', etc.) to
- not use the $'...' syntax when in posix mode, since that caused
- interoperability problems with other shells (most notably with autoconf).
- When not in posix mode, it uses $'...' if the string to be printed
- contains non-printing characters and regular single quotes otherwise.
-
-r. snprintf now recognizes the %F conversion.
-
-s. Fixed a bug that could cause the wrong status to be returned by a shell
- function when the shell is compiled without job control and a null
- command containing a command substutition was executed in the function.
-
-t. When in posix mode, the default value for MAILCHECK is 600.
-
-u. Bash only initializes FUNCNAME, GROUPS, and DIRSTACK as special variables
- if they're not in the initial environment.
-
-v. If SECONDS appears in the initial environment with a valid integer value,
- bash uses that as the starting value, as if an assignment had been
- performed.
-
-w. Bash no longer auto-exports HOME, PATH, SHELL, or TERM, even though it
- gives them default values if they don't appear in the initial environment.
-
-x. Bash no longer auto-exports HOSTNAME, HOSTTYPE, MACHTYPE, or OSTYPE,
- even if it assigns them default values.
-
-y. Bash no longer removes the export attribute from SSH_CLIENT or SSH2_CLIENT
- if they appear in the initial environment.
-
-z. Bash no longer attempts to discover if it's being run by sshd in order to
- run the startup files. If the SSH_SOURCE_BASHRC is uncommented in
- config-top.h it will attempt to do so as previously, but that's commented
- out in the distributed version.
-
-aa. Fixed a typo in the code that tests for LC_NUMERIC.
-
-bb. The POSIXLY_CORRECT shell variable and its effects are now documented.
-
-cc. Some changes to several of the support shell scripts included in the
- definitions to try to avoid race conditions and attacks.
-
-dd. Several changes to avoid warnings from `gcc -Wall'.
-
-ee. Fixed a problem with the `unset' builtin that could cause incorrect
- results if asked to unset a variable and an array subscript in the
- same command.
-
-ff. A few changes to the shell's temporary file creation code to avoid
- potential file descriptor leaks and to prefer the system's idea of
- the temporary directory to use.
-
-gg. Fixes to build with the C alloca in lib/malloc/alloca.c if the system
- requires it but the shell has been configured --without-bash-malloc.
-
-hh. Updated the documentation to note that only interactive shells resend
- SIGHUP to all jobs before exiting.
-
-ii. Fixes to only pass unquoted tilde words to tilde_expand, rather than
- rely on tilde_expand or getpwnam(3) to handle the quotes (MacOS 10.x
- will remove backslashes in any login name passed to getpwnam(3)).
-
-jj. Small change from Paul Eggert to make LINENO right in commands run with
- `bash -c'.
-
-2. New Features in Bash
-
-a. The `printf' builtin now handles the %a and %A conversions if they're
- implemented by printf(3).
-
-b. The `printf' builtin now handles the %F conversion (just about like %f).
-
-c. The `printf' builtin now handles the %n conversion like printf(3). The
- corresponding argument is the name of a shell variable to which the
- value is assigned.
-
-3. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a few places where negative array subscripts could have occurred.
-
-b. Fixed the vi-mode code to use a better method to determine the bounds of
- the array used to hold the marks.
-
-c. Fixed the defines in chardefs.h to work better when chars are signed.
-
-d. Fixed configure.in to use the new names for bash autoconf macros.
-
-e. Readline no longer attempts to define its own versions of some ctype
- macros if they are implemented as functions in libc but not as macros in
- .
-
-f. Fixed a problem where rl_backward could possibly set point to before
- the beginning of the line.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05a-beta1,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05a-alpha1.
-

-
-a. Fixed a bug in the evalution of arithmetic `for' statements when the
- expanded expression is NULL.
-
-b. Fixed an unassigned variable problem in the redirection printing code.
-
-c. Added more prototypes to extern function declarations in the header
- files and to static function declarations in C source files.
-
-d. Make sure called functions have a prototype in scope, to get the arguments
- and return values right instead of casting. Removed extern function
- declarations from C source files that were already included in header
- files.
-
-e. Changed some function arguments to use function typedefs in general.h so
- the prototypes can be checked. The only use of Function and VFunction
- now is for unwind-protects.
-
-f. More const changes to function arguments and appropriate variables.
-
-g. Changed the mail checking support to handle `maildir'-style mail
- directories.
-
-h. Augmented the bash malloc to pass in the file and line number information
- for each malloc, realloc, and free. This should result in better error
- messages.
-
-i. The `old' gnu malloc is no longer a configuration option.
-
-j. Augmented the bash malloc with optional tracing and registering allocated
- and freed memory.
-
-k. Prompt string decoding now saves and restores the value of $? when it
- expands the prompt string, so command substitutions don't change $?.
-
-i. Array indices are now `long', since shell arithmetic is performed as long,
- and the internal arrayind_t type is used consistently.
-
-j. Some more `unsigned char *' fixes from Paul Eggert.
-
-k. Fixed a bad call to builtin_error that could cause core dumps when making
- local variables.
-
-l. `return' may no longer be used to terminate a `select' command, for
- compatibility with ksh.
-
-m. Changed code that reads octal numbers to do a better job of detecting
- overflows.
-
-n. The time formatting code no longer uses absolute indices into a buffer,
- because the buffer size changes depending on the size of a `time_t'.
-
-o. `umask' now prints four digits when printing in octal mode, for
- compatibility with other shells.
-
-p. Lots of changes to the `printf' builtin from Paul Eggert: it handles `L'
- formats and long doubles better, and internal functions have been
- simpified where appropriate.
-
-q. Some `time_t' fixes for machines were a time_t is bigger than a long.
-
-r. Replaced some bash-specific autoconf macros with standard equivalents.
-
-s. Improvmed the code that constructs temporary filenames to make the
- generated names a bit more random.
-
-t. Added code that checks for ascii before calling any of the is* ctype
- functions.
-
-u. Changed some places where a `char' was used as an array subscript to use
- `unsigned char', since a `char' can be negative if it's signed by default.
-
-v. Lots of changes to the `ulimit' builtin from Paul Eggert to add support
- for the new POSIX-200x RLIM_SAVED_CUR and RLIM_SAVED_MAX values and
- simplify the code.
-
-w. `ulimit' now prints the description of a resource in any error message
- relating to fetching or setting that resource's limits.
-
-x. The `snprintf' replacement now computes maximum values at compile
- time rather than using huge constants for things like long long.
-
-y. Interactive shells now ignore `set -n'.
-
-z. Changed the malloc bookkeeping information so that it's now 8 bytes
- instead of 12 on most 32-bit machines (saving 4 bytes per allocation),
- restoring 8-byte alignment.
-
-aa. The malloc error reporting code now attempts to print the file and line
- number of the call that caused the error.
-
-bb. Changed the redirection error reporting code to catch EBADF errors and
- report the file descriptor number rather than the file being redirected
- to or from (e.g., things like `exec 4242&word' redirection now works in POSIX mode as it does by default,
- since POSIX.2 leaves it unspecified.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-f. Made a change so that command completion now makes about half as many
- stat(2) calls when searching the $PATH.
-
-g. Fixed a bug that caused variable assignments preceding `return' to not
- be propagated to the shell environment in POSIX mode.
-
-h. Fixed a bug with ${parameter[:]?word} -- tilde expansion was not performed
- on `word'.
-
-i. In POSIX mode, `break' and `continue' do not complain and return success
- if called when the shell is not executing a loop.
-
-j. Fixed `bash -o posix' to work the same as `bash --posix'.
-
-k. Fixed a bug where variable assignments preceding `eval' or `source/.'
- would not show up in the environment exported to subshells run by the

-
-l. In POSIX mode, shells started to execute command substitutions inherit
- the value of the `-e' option from their parent shell.
-

-
-n. Changed some of the job control messages to display the text required by
- POSIX.2 when the shell is in POSIX mode.

- results when non-numeric arguments were supplied to `-t'.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Some changes were made to avoid gcc warnings with -Wall.
-
-b. rl_get_keymap_by_name now finds keymaps case-insensitively, so
- `set keymap EMACS' works.
-
-c. The history file writing and truncation functions now return a useful
- status on error.
-
-d. Fixed a bug that could cause applications to dereference a NULL pointer
- if a NULL second argument was passed to history_expand().

-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. doc/readline.3 has been moved to the readline distribution.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. New function, rl_get_screen_size (int *rows, int *columns), returns
- readline's idea of the screen dimensions.
-
-b. The timeout in rl_gather_tyi (readline keyboard input polling function)
- is now settable via a function (rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout()).
-
-c. Renamed the max_input_history variable to history_max_entries; the old
- variable is maintained for backwards compatibility.
-
-d. The list of characters that separate words for the history tokenizer is
- now settable with a variable: history_word_delimiters. The default
- value is as before.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- in bracket expressions while doing pattern matching.
-
-d. System-specific configuration changes for: Tru 64, Interix

- will use mktemp(1) or tempfile(1), if present, for temporary file creation.
-
-f. Bash no longer performs a binary file check on a script argument that's
- really a tty (like /dev/fd/0 or /dev/stdin).
-

-
-i. Several changes to the job control code to avoid some signal state
- manipulation.
-

- faster.
-
-k. Fixed a parsing bug that did not allow backslash to escape a single quote
- inside a $'...' construct.
-
-l. Fixed a bug that caused things like ${var:=$'value'} to be parsed
- incorrectly. This showed up in newer versions of autoconf.
-
-m. Fixed a bug in the bash-specific readline initialization that caused
- key bindings to bash-specific function names appearing in .inputrc to
- not be honored.
-
-n. Bash now sets the file descriptor it uses to save the file descriptor
- opened on a shell script to close on exec.
-
-o. Fixed a bug in the prompt string decoding that caused it to misbehave
- when presented an octal sequence of fewer than three characters.
-
-p. Fixed the `test' builtin to return an error if `[' is supplied a single
- argument that is not `]'.
-
-q. Fixed a bug that caused subshells started to run executable shell scripts
- without a leading `#!' to incorrectly inherit an argument list preceding
- a shell builtin (like such a script called from a script sourced with `.',
- where there were variable assignments preceding the `.' command)
-
-r. Fixed a bug that caused changes to variables supplied in an assignment
- statement preceding a shell builtin to not be honored (like a script
- run with `.').
-
-s. HOSTTYPE, OSTYPE, and MACHTYPE are set only if they do not have values
- when the shell is started.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that caused SIGINT to kill shell scripts after the script
- called `wait'.
-
-u. The `fc' builtin now tries to create its temporary files in the directory
- named by $TMPDIR.
-
-v. Bash no longer calls any Readline functions or uses any Readline variables
- not declared in readline.h.
-
-w. Fixed a bug that caused some substitutions involving $@ to not be split
- correctly, especially expansions of the form ${paramterOPword}.
-
-x. SSH2_CLIENT is now treated like SSH_CLIENT and not auto-exported if it
- appears in the initial environment.
-
-y. Fixed a couple of problems with shell scripts without a leading `#!'
- being executed out of shell functions that could cause core dumps if
- such a script attempted to execute `return'.
-
-z. Fixed a problem with the `-nt' and `-ot' binary operators for the
- `test/[' builtin and the `[[' conditional command that caused wrong
- return values if one of the file arguments did not exist.
-
-aa. Fixed a bug that caused non-interactive shells which had previously
- executed `shopt -s expand_aliases' to fail to expand aliases in a
- command like `(command) &'.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Changes to make most (but not yet all -- there is still crlf()) of the
- exported readline functions declared in readline.h have an rl_ prefix.
-
-b. More `const' changes in function arguments, mostly for completion
- functions.
-
-c. Fixed a bug in rl_forward that could cause the point to be set to before
- the beginning of the line in vi mode.
-
-d. Fixed a bug in the callback read-char interface to make it work when a
- readline function pushes some input onto the input stream with
- rl_execute_next (like the incremental search functions).
-
-e. Fixed a file descriptor leak in the history file manipulation code that
- was tripped when attempting to truncate a non-regular file (like
- /dev/null).
-
-f. Some existing variables are now documented and part of the public
- interface (declared in readline.h): rl_explict_arg, rl_numeric_arg,
- rl_editing_mode, rl_last_func.
-
-g. Renamed rltty_set_default_bindings to rl_tty_set_default_bindings and
- crlf to rl_crlf, so there are no public functions declared in readline.h
- without an `rl_' prefix. The old functions still exist for backwards
- compatibility.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. A new loadable builtin, realpath, which canonicalizes and expands symlinks
- in pathname arguments.
-
-b. When `set' is called without options, it prints function defintions in a
- way that allows them to be reused as input. This affects `declare' and
- `declare -p' as well.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. New application-callable function rl_set_prompt(const char *prompt):
- expands its prompt string argument and sets rl_prompt to the result.
-
-b. New application-callable function rl_set_screen_size(int rows, int cols):
- public method for applications to set readline's idea of the screen
- dimensions.

- unset variable within a sourced file.
-
-d. Fixed a problem with incorrect matching of extended glob patterns when
- doing pattern substitution.
-
-e. `{' is now quoted by the completion code when it appears in a filename.
-
-f. Fixed an error in pattern matching that caused the matcher to not
- correctly skip the rest of a bracket expression after a character
- matched.
-
-g. Fixed a bug in the IFS word splitting code to make a non-whitespace IFS
- character preceded by IFS whitespace part of the current delimiter rather
- than generating a separate field.
-
-h. The {!prefix@} expansion now generates separate words, analogous to $@,
- when double-quoted.
-
-i. Command substitution now ignores NUL bytes in the command output, and the
- parser ignores them on input.

-j. A fix was made to the job control code to prevent hanging processes when
- the shell thinks background processes are running but the kernel returns
- -1/ECHILD from waitpid().
-
-k. `pwd' now prints an error message if the write fails when displaying the
- current directory.
-
-l. When in POSIX mode, the shell prints trap dispostions without a leading
- `SIG' in the signal specification.
-
-m. Fixed a parser bug that caused the current command's line count to be
- messed up by a compound array assignment.
-
-n. Fixed a bug in the unwind-protect code that caused bad behavior on machines
- where ints and pointers are not the same size.

- a (...) subshell.
-
-r. Bash no longer assumes that getcwd() will return any useful error message

-
-s. The `source', `.', and `fc' builtins no longer check whether a file is
- binary before reading commands from it.
-
-t. Subshells no longer turn off job control when they exit, since that
- sometimes resulted in the terminal being reset to the wrong process
- group.
-
-u. The history code no longer tries to save the second and subsequent lines
- of a multi-line command if the first line was not saved.
-
-v. The history saving code now does a better job of saving blank lines in a
- multi-line command.
-
-w. Removed a `feature' that made `ulimit' silently translate `unlimited' to
- the current hard limit, which obscured some kernel error returns.
-
-x. Fixed the grammar so that `}' is recognized as a reserved word after
- another reserved word, rather than requiring a `;' or newline. This
- means that constructs like
-
- { { echo a b c ; } }
-
- work as expected.
-
-y. Conditional commands ([[...]]) now perform tilde expansion on their
- arguments.
-
-z. Noted in the documentation that `set -a' will cause functions to be
- exported if they are defined after `set -a' is executed.
-
-aa. When an interactive login shell starts, if $PWD and $HOME refer to the
- same directory but are not the same string, $PWD is set to $HOME.
-
-bb. Fixed `printf' to handle invalid floating point numbers better.
-
-cc. Temporary files are now created with random filenames, to improve security.
-
-dd. The readline initialization code now binds the custom bash functions and

-
-ee. Fixed the `source' builtin to no longer overwrite a shell function's
- argument list, even if the sourced file changes the positional parameters.
-
-ff. A bug fix was made in the expansion of `$*' in contexts where it should
- not be split, like assignment statements.
-
-gg. Fixed a bug in the parameter substring expansion to handle conditional
- arithmetic expressions ( exp ? val1 : val2 ) without cutting the expression
- off at the wrong `:'.
-
-hh. The `<>' redirection is no longer subject to the current setting of
- `noclobber', as POSIX.2 specifies.
-
-ii. Fixed a bug in the conditional command parsing code that caused expressions
- in parentheses to occasionally be parsed incorrectly.
-
-jj. Fixed a bug in the ((...)) arithmetic command to allow do...done or
- {...} to follow the )) without an intervening list terminator.
-
-kk. `printf' now treats `\E' the same as `\e' when performing backslash escape
- expansion for the `%b' format specifier.
-
-ll. When in POSIX mode, the shell no longer searches the current directory for
- a file to be sourced with `.' or `source' if `.' is not in $PATH.
-
-mm. Interactive comments are no longer turned off when POSIX mode is disabled.
-
-nn. The UID, EUID, HOSTNAME variables are not set if they are in the shell's
- environment when it starts up.
-
-oo. Fixed a bug in the `command' builtin so the effect of a command like
- `command exec 4(...)
- expansions to defer removal until after any current shell function has
- finished executing.
-
-f. Fixed a bug in `select' which caused it to not handle the `continue'
- builtin correctly.
-
-g. Autoconf tests added for cygwin32 and mingw32.

-2. New Features in Bash
-
-a. The `--with-bash-malloc' configure option replaces `--with-gnu-malloc'
- (which is still there for backwards compatibility).
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.04-beta1,
-and the previous version, bash-2.04-alpha1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a bug in the programmable completion code that occurred when
- trying to complete command lines containing a `;' or `@'.

-w. Fixed a bug in the positional parameter substring code that could
- cause the shell to loop freeing freed memory.
-
-x. Fixed a bug in the positional parameter pattern substitution code so
- that it correctly handles null replacement strings with a pattern
- string prefixed with `%' or `#'.
-
-y. The shell no longer attempts to import functions from the environment if
- started with `-n'.
-
-z. Fixed a bug that caused `return' in a command substitution executed in

- breaks.
-
-b. A bug was fixed which caused invisible character markers to not be
- stripped from the prompt string if the terminal was in no-echo mode.
-
-c. Readline no longer tries to get the variables it needs for redisplay
- from the termcap entry if the calling application has specified its
- own redisplay function. Readline treats the terminal as `dumb' in
- this case.
-
-d. Fixes to the SIGWINCH code so that a multiple-line prompt with escape
- sequences is redrawn correctly.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-

-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused the expansion code to occasionally dump core if
- IFS contained characters > 128.

-k. The ksh-93 ${!prefix*} expansion, which expands to the names of all
- shell variables whose names start with prefix, has been implemented.
-
-l. There is a new dynamic variable, FUNCNAME, which expands to the name of

- `//' sequences, since those are interpreted as network file system
- pathnames on some systems.
-
-i. A fix was made so that loops containing `eval' commands in commands passed
- to `bash -c' would not exit prematurely.
-
-j. Some changes were made to the job reaping code when the shell is not

- value to be passed to the function that computed the longest common
- prefix of the list of matches.
-
-b. The completion code now checks the value of rl_filename_completion_desired,
- which is set by application-supplied completion functions to indicate
- that filename completion is being performed, to decide whether or not to
- call an application-supplied `ignore completions' function.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. A change was made to the startup file code so that any shell begun with

- return value.
-
-h. Changes were made to `ulimit' to work around HPUX 9.x's peculiar
- handling of RLIMIT_FILESIZE.
-
-i. Some new loadable builtins were added: id, printenv, sync, whoami, push,

- loadable builtins from the same source file.
-
-j. Changes were made to `printf' to handle NUL bytes in the expanded format
- string.
-
-k. The various `make clean' Makefile targets now descend into lib/sh.

-
-n. There is a new autoconf macro used to find which basic type is 64 bits.
-

- be freed twice if a directory name containing an unset variable was
- completed and the -u option was set.
-
-q. The prompt expansion code now quotes the `$' in the `\$' expansion so it
- is not processed by subsequent parameter expansion.
-
-r. Fixed a parsing bug that caused a single or double quote after a `$$' to
- trigger ANSI C expansion or locale translation.
-
-s. Fixed a bug in the globbing code that caused quoted filenames containing
- no globbing characters to sometimes be incorrectly expanded.

- precede the `time' reserved word.
-
-v. The shell may now be cross-built for BeOS as well as cygwin32.
-
-w. The conditional command execution code now treats `=' the same as `=='
- for deciding when to perform pattern matching.
-
-x. The `-e' option no longer causes the shell to exit if a command exits

- list.
-
-aa. The parser was fixed to obey the POSIX.2 rules for finding the closing
- `}' in a ${...} expression.

- no longer relies on the user's umask being set appropriately.
-
-cc. Setting LANG no longer causes LC_ALL to be assigned a value; bash now
- relies on proper behavior from the C library.
-
-dd. Minor changes were made to allow quoted variable expansions using
- ${...} to be completed correctly if there is no closing `"'.
-
-ee. Changes were made to builtins/Makefile.in so that configuring the shell
- with `--enable-profiling' works right and builtins/mkbuiltins is
- generated.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. The version number is now 4.0.
-
-b. There is no longer any #ifdef SHELL code in the source files.
-
-c. Some changes were made to the key binding code to fix memory leaks and

- milliseconds.
-
-e. The readline library should be compilable by C++ compilers.
-
-f. The readline.h public header file now includes function prototypes for
- all readline functions, and some changes were made to fix errors in the
- source files uncovered by the use of prototypes.

-g. The maximum numeric argument is now clamped at 1000000.
-
-h. Fixes to rl_yank_last_arg to make it behave better.

- array assignments (which it probably should have done all along).
-
-c. OLDPWD is now auto-exported, as POSIX.2 seems to require.
-
-d. ENV and BASH_ENV are read-only variables in a restricted shell.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. Many changes to the signal handling:
- o Readline now catches SIGQUIT and cleans up the tty before returning;
- o A new variable, rl_catch_signals, is available to application writers
- to indicate to readline whether or not it should install its own
- signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT, SIGALRM, SIGTSTP,
- SIGTTIN, and SIGTTOU;
- o A new variable, rl_catch_sigwinch, is available to application
- writers to indicate to readline whether or not it should install its
- own signal handler for SIGWINCH, which will chain to the calling
- applications's SIGWINCH handler, if one is installed;
- o There is a new function, rl_free_line_state, for application signal
- handlers to call to free up the state associated with the current
- line after receiving a signal;
- o There is a new function, rl_cleanup_after_signal, to clean up the
- display and terminal state after receiving a signal;
- o There is a new function, rl_reset_after_signal, to reinitialize the
- terminal and display state after an application signal handler
- returns and readline continues
-
-b. There is a new function, rl_resize_terminal, to reset readline's idea of
- the screen size after a SIGWINCH.
-
-c. New public functions: rl_save_prompt and rl_restore_prompt. These were
- previously private functions with a `_' prefix.
-
-d. New function hook: rl_pre_input_hook, called just before readline starts
- reading input, after initialization.
-
-e. New function hook: rl_display_matches_hook, called when readline would
- display the list of completion matches. The new function
- rl_display_match_list is what readline uses internally, and is available
- for use by application functions called via this hook.
-
-f. New bindable function, delete-char-or-list, like tcsh.

- and "${array[@]}" expand correctly when IFS does not contain a space
- character, is unset, or is set to NULL.
-

- Solaris 2.6, where the size of a file may be larger than can be held
- in an `int'.
-
-u. The filename hashing code was fixed to not add `./' to the beginning of

- instead of treating them as identical to `0', which means the current
- process.
-
-ee. `var=value declare -x var' now behaves identically to
- `var=value export var'. Similarly for `var=value declare -r var' and
- `var=value readonly var'.
-
-ff. A few memory leaks were fixed.

-gg. `alias' and `unalias' now print error messages when passed an argument
- that is not an alias for printing or deletion, even when the shell is
- not interactive, as POSIX.2 specifies.
-
-hh. `alias' and `alias -p' now return a status of 0 when no aliases are
- defined, as POSIX.2 specifes.
-
-ii. `cd -' now prints the pathname of the new working directory if the shell

- is a valid shell identifier only when the shell is running in posix mode.
-
-ll. A change was made to the code that generates filenames for here documents
- to make them less prone to name collisions.
-
-mm. The parser was changed so that `time' is recognized as a reserved word
- only at the beginning of a pipeline.
-
-nn. The pathname canonicalization code was changed so that `//' is converted
- into `/', but all other pathnames beginning with `//' are left alone, as
- POSIX.2 specifies.
-
-oo. The `logout' builtin will no longer exit a non-interactive non-login
- shell.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a problem in the readline test program rltest.c that caused a core
- dump.
-
-b. The code that handles parser directives in inputrc files now displays
- more error messages.
-
-c. The history expansion code was fixed so that the appearance of the
- history comment character at the beginning of a word inhibits history
- expansion for that word and the rest of the input line.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. A new version of malloc, based on the older GNU malloc, that has many
- changes, is more page-based, is more conservative with memory usage,

- extended `test' functionality.
-
-f. There is a new `printf' builtin, implemented according to the POSIX.2
- specification.

- to the contents of `filename', with any trailing newlines removed
- (equivalent to $(cat filename)).
-
-h. There are new tilde prefixes which expand to directories from the
- directory stack.
-
-i. There is a new `**' arithmetic operator to do exponentiation.
-
-j. There are new configuration options to control how bash is linked:
- `--enable-profiling', to allow bash to be profiled with gprof, and
- `--enable-static-link', to allow bash to be linked statically.
-
-k. There is a new configuration option, `--enable-cond-command', which
- controls whether or not the `[[' command is included. It is on by
- default.
-
-l. There is a new configuration option, `--enable-extended-glob', which
- controls whether or not the ksh extended globbing feature is included.
- It is enabled by default.
-
-m. There is a new configuration #define in config.h.top that, when enabled,
- will cause all login shells to source /etc/profile and one of the user-
- specific login shell startup files, whether or not the shell is
- interactive.
-
-n. There is a new invocation option, `--dump-po-strings', to dump
- a shell script's translatable strings ($"...") in GNU `po' format.
-
-o. There is a new `shopt' option, `nocaseglob', to enable case-insensitive
- pattern matching when globbing filenames and using the `case' construct.
-
-p. There is a new `shopt' option, `huponexit', which, when enabled, causes
- the shell to send SIGHUP to all jobs when an interactive login shell
- exits.
-
-q. `bind' has a new `-u' option, which takes a readline function name as an
- argument and unbinds all key sequences bound to that function in a
- specified keymap.
-
-r. `disown' now has `-a' and `-r' options, to limit operation to all jobs
- and running jobs, respectively.
-
-s. The `shopt' `-p' option now causes output to be displayed in a reusable

- has been modified since it was last accessed.
-
-u. `umask' now has a `-p' option to print output in a reusable format.
-
-v. A new escape sequence, `\xNNN', has been added to the `echo -e' and $'...'
- translation code. It expands to the character whose ascii code is NNN
- in hexadecimal.
-
-w. The prompt string expansion code has a new `\r' escape sequence.
-
-x. The shell may now be cross-compiled for the CYGWIN32 environment on
- a Unix machine.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. There is now an option for `iterative' yank-last-arg handline, so a user
- can keep entering `M-.', yanking the last argument of successive history
- lines.
-
-b. New variable, `print-completions-horizontally', which causes completion
- matches to be displayed across the screen (like `ls -x') rather than up
- and down the screen (like `ls').
-
-c. New variable, `completion-ignore-case', which causes filename completion
- and matching to be performed case-insensitively.
-
-d. There is a new bindable command, `magic-space', which causes history
- expansion to be performed on the current readline buffer and a space to
- be inserted into the result.
-
-e. There is a new bindable command, `menu-complete', which enables tcsh-like
- menu completion (successive executions of menu-complete insert a single
- completion match, cycling through the list of possible completions).

- systems, to insert the text from the Win32 clipboard into the editing
- buffer.
-
-g. The key sequence translation code now understands printf-style backslash
- escape sequences, including \NNN octal escapes. These escape sequences
- may be used in key sequence definitions or macro values.
-
-h. An `$include' inputrc file parser directive has been added.

- the user has set `checkwinsize' with `shopt'.
-
-r. When doing substring expansion, out-of-range substring specifiers now
- cause nothing to be substituted rather than an expansion error.
-
-s. A fix was made so that you can no longer trap `SIGEXIT' or `SIGDEBUG' --
- only `EXIT' and `DEBUG' are accepted.
-
-t. The display of trapped signals now uses the signal number if signals

-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-and the previous version, bash-2.01-beta1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. The `ulimit' builtin translates RLIM_INFINITY to the hard limit only if
- the current (soft) limit is less than or equal to the hard limit.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused the bash emulation of strcasecmp to produce
- incorrect results.
-
-c. A bug that caused memory to be freed twice when a trap handler resets

-d. A bug that caused machines where sizeof (pointer) > sizeof (int) to
- fail (and possibly dump core) when trying to unwind-protect a null
- pointer was fixed.
-
-e. The startup files should not be run with job control enabled. This fix
- allows SIGINT to once again interrupt startup file execution.
-
-f. Bash should not change the SIGPROF handler if it is set to something
- other than SIG_DFL.

-g. The completion code that provides bash-specific completions for readline
- now quotes characters that the readline code would treat as word break
- characters if they appear in a file name.
-
-h. The completion code now correctly quotes filenames containing a `!',
- even if the user attempted to use double quotes when attempting
- completion.

-
-j. A construct like $((foo);bar) is now processed as a command substitution
- rather than as a bad arithmetic substitution.
-

- shell options when editing and re-executing a series of commands were
- fixed.
-
-l. A fix was made to the grammar -- the list of commands between `do' and

- while loop.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. A couple of bugs that caused the history search functions to attempt to
- free a NULL pointer were fixed.
-
-b. If the C library provides setlocale(3), readline does not need to look
- at various environment variables to decide whether or not to go into
- eight-bit mode automatically -- just check whether the current locale
- is not `C' or `POSIX'.
-
-c. If the filename completion function finds that a directory was not closed
- by a previous (interrupted) completion, it closes the directory with
- closedir().
-
-3. New Features in Bash

-
-l. Fixed a problem caused by a recursive call reparsing the value of
- $SHELLOPTS.
-
-m. The tilde code no longer calls getenv() when it's compiled as part of
- the shell, which should eliminate problems on systems that cannot
- redefine getenv(), like the NeXT OS.
-
-n. Fixed a problem that caused `bash -o' or `bash +o' to not list all
- the shell options.
-
-o. Fixed `ulimit' to convert RLIM_INFINITY to the appropriate hard limit
- only if the hard limit is greater than the current (soft) limit.
-
-p. Fixed a problem that arose when building bash in a different directory
- than the source and y.tab.[ch] were remade with something other than
- bison. This came up most often on NetBSD.
-
-q. Fixed a problem with completion -- it thought that `pwd`/[TAB] indicated
- an unfinished command completion (`/), which generated errors.
-
-r. The bash special tilde expansions (~-, ~+) are now attempted before
- calling the standard tilde expansion code, which should eliminate the
- problems people have been seeing with this on Solaris 2.5.1.
-
-s. Added support for to places where it was missing.
-
-t. Changed the code that reads the output of a command substitution to not
- go through stdio. This reduces the memory requirements and is faster.

-
-v. A number of memory leaks were fixed as the result of running the test
- scripts through Purify.
-
-w. Fixed a bug that caused subshells forked to interpret executable
- scripts without a leading `#!' to not reinitialize the values of
- the shell options.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. History library has less `#ifdef SHELL' code -- abstracted stuff out
- into application-specific function hooks.
-
-b. Readline no longer calls getenv() if it's compiled as part of the shell,
- which should eliminate problems on systems that cannot redefine getenv(),
- like the NeXT OS.
-
-c. Fixed translation of ESC when `untranslating' macro values.
-
-d. The region kill operation now fixes the mark if it ends up beyond the
- boundaries of the line after the region is deleted.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. New argument for `configure': `--with-curses'. This can be used to
- override the selection of the termcap library on systems where it is
- deficient.

-p. The bash completion code now quotes characters that readline would
- treat as word breaks for completion but are not shell metacharacters.

- should be closer to working now.
-
-t. A problem that caused the default filename used for mail checking to be
- wrong was fixed.
-
-u. A fix was made to the `echo' builtin so that NUL characters printed with
- `echo -e' do not cause the output to be truncated.
-
-v. A fix was made to the job control code so that the shell behaves better
- when monitor mode is enabled in a non-interactive shell.
-

-
-jj. A bug that caused the shell to crash when mixing calls to `getopts'
- and `shift' on the same set of positional parameters was fixed.
-
-kk. The command printing code now preserves the `-p' flag to `time'.
-
-ll. The command printing code now handles here documents better when there
- are other redirections associated with the command.
-
-mm. The special glibc environment variable (NNN_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_)
- is no longer placed into the environment of executed commands -- users
- of glibc had too many problems with it.
-
-nn. Reorganized the code that generates signames.h. The signal_names list
- is now more complete but may be slightly different (SIGABRT is favored
- over SIGIOT, for example). The preferred signal names are those
- listed in the POSIX.2 standard.
-
-oo. `bashbug' now uses a filename shorter than 14 characters for its
- temporary file, and asks for confirmation before sending the bug
- report.
-
-pp. A bug that caused TAB completion in vi editing mode to not be turned
- off when `set -o posix' was executed or back on when `set +o posix'
- was executed was fixed.
-
-qq. A bug in the brace expansion code that caused brace expansions appearing

-
-tt. References to unbound variables after `set -u' has been executed now
- cause the shell to exit immediately, as they should.
-
-uu. A bug that caused the shell to exit inappropriately when `set -e' had
- been executed and a command's return status was being inverted with the
- `!' reserved word was fixed.
-
-vv. A bug that could occasionally cause the shell to crash with a
- divide-by-zero error when timing a command was fixed.
-
-ww. A bug that caused parameter pattern substitution to leave stray
- backslashes in the replacement string when the expression is in
- double quotes was fixed.
-
-xx. The `break' and `continue' builtins now break out of all loops when an

-
-e. Non-printable characters are now expanded when displaying macros and
- their values.
-
-f. The `dump-variables' and `dump-macros' commands now output a leading
- newline if they're called as the result of a key sequence, rather
- than directly by an application.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. There is a new builtin array variable: GROUPS, the set of groups to which
- the user belongs. This is used by the test suite.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. If a key sequence bound to `universal-argument' is read while reading a
- numeric argument started with `universal-argument', it terminates the
- argument but is otherwise ignored. This provides a way to insert multiple
- instances of a digit string, and is how GNU emacs does it.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-release,
-and the previous version, bash-2.0-beta3.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fix to the `getopts' builtin so that it does the right thing when a
- required option argument is not present.
-
-b. The completion code now updates the common prefix of matched names
- after FIGNORE processing is done, since any names that were removed
- may have changed the common prefix.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that made messages in MAILPATH entries not work correctly.
-
-d. Fixed a serious documentation error in the description of the new
- ${parameter:offset[:length]} expansion.
-
-e. Fixes to make parameter substring expansion ({$param:offset[:length]})
- work when within double quotes.
-
-f. Fixes to make ^A (CTLESC) survive an unquoted expansion of positional
- parameters.
-
-g. Corrected a misspelling of `unlimited' in the output of `ulimit'.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused executable scripts without a leading `#!' to
- occasionally pick up the wrong set of positional parameters.
-
-i. Linux systems now have a working `ulimit -v', using RLIMIT_AS.
-
-j. Updated config.guess so that many more machine types are recognized.
-
-k. Fixed a bug with backslash-quoted slashes in the ${param/pat[/sub]}
- expansion.
-
-l. If the shell is named `-su', and `-c command' is supplied, read and
- execute the login shell startup files even though the shell is not
- interactive. This is to support the `-' option to `su'.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when the DEBUG trap was ignored
- with `trap "" DEBUG' and a shell function was subsequently executed.
-
-n. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps in the read builtin when IFS was
- set to the null string and the input had leading whitespace.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused a numeric argument of 1024 to be ignored when
- inserting text.
-
-b. Fixed the display code so that the numeric argument is displayed as it's
- being entered.
-
-c. Fixed the numeric argument reading code so that `M-- command' is
- equivalent to `M--1 command', as the prompt implies.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. `ulimit' now sets both hard and soft limits and reports the soft limit
- by default (when neither -H nor -S is specified). This is compatible
- with versions of sh and ksh that implement `ulimit'.
-
-b. Integer constants have been extended to base 64.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. The `home' and `end' keys are now bound to beginning-of-line and
- end-of-line, respectively, if the corresponding termcap capabilities
- are present.

-and the previous version, bash-2.0-beta2.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. System-specific changes for: AIX 4.2, SCO 3.2v[45], HP-UX.
-
-b. When in POSIX mode, variable assignments preceding a special builtin
- persist in the shell environment after the builtin completes.
-
-c. Changed all calls to getwd() to getcwd(). Improved check for systems
- where the libc getcwd() calls popen(), since that breaks on some
- systems when job control is being used.
-
-d. Fixed a bug that caused seg faults when executing scripts with the
- execute bit set but without a leading `#!'.
-
-e. The environment passed to executed commands is never sorted.
-
-f. A bug was fixed in the code that expands ${name[@]} to the number of
- elements in an array variable.
-
-g. A bug was fixed in the array compound assignment code ( A=( ... ) ).
-
-h. Window size changes now correctly propagate down to readline if
- the shopt `checkwinsize' option is enabled.
-
-i. A fix was made in the code that expands to the length of a variable
- value (${#var}).
-
-j. A fix was made to the command builtin so that it did not turn on the
- `no fork' flag inappropriately.
-
-k. A fix was made to make `set -n' work more reliably.
-
-l. A fix was made to the job control initialization code so that the
- terminal process group is set to the shell's process group if the
- shell changes its own process group.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. System-specific changes for: SCO 3.2v[45].
-
-b. The behavior of the vi-mode `.' when redoing an `i' command was changed
- to insert the text previously inserted by the `i' command rather than
- simply entering insert mode.
-
-3. New features in Bash
-
-a. There is a new version of the autoload function package, in
- examples/functions/autoload.v2, that uses arrays and provides more
- functionality.
-
-b. Support for LC_COLLATE and locale-specific sorting of the results of
- pathname expansion if strcoll() is available.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. Support for locale-specific sorting of completion possibilities if
- strcoll() is available.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-beta2,
-and the previous version, bash-2.0-beta1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. `pushd -' is once again equivalent to `pushd $OLDPWD'.
-
-b. OS-specific changes for: SCO 3.2v[45].
-
-c. A change was made to the fix for the recently-reported security hole
- when reading characters with octal value 255 to make it work better on
- systems with restartable system calls when not using readline.
-
-d. Some changes were made to the test suite so that it works if you
- configure bash with --enable-usg-echo-default.
-
-e. A fix was made to the parsing of conditional arithmetic expressions.
-
-f. Illegal arithmetic bases now cause an arithmetic evaluation error rather
- than being silently reset.
-
-g. Multiple arithmetic bases now cause an arithmetic evaluation error
- instead of being ignored.
-
-h. A fix was made to the evaluation of ${param?word} to conform to POSIX.2.
-
-i. A bug that sometimes caused array indices to be evaluated twice (which
- would cause errors when they contained assignment statements) was fixed.
-
-j. `ulimit' was rewritten to avoid problems with getrlimit(2) returning
- unsigned values and to simplify the code.
-
-k. A bug in the command-oriented-history code that caused it to sometimes
- put semicolons after right parens inappropriately was fixed.
-
-l. The values inserted into the prompt by the \w and \W escape sequences
- are now quoted to prevent further expansion.
-
-m. An interactive shell invoked as `sh' now reads and executes commands
- from the file named by $ENV when it starts up. If it's a login shell,
- it does this after reading /etc/profile and ~/.profile.
-
-n. The file named by $ENV is never read by non-interactive shells.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. A few changes were made to hide some macros and functions that should not
- be public.
-
-b. An off-by-one error that caused seg faults in the history expansion code
- was fixed.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. The ksh-style ((...)) arithmetic command was implemented. It is exactly
- identical to let "...". This is controlled by a new option to configure,
- `--enable-dparen-arithmetic', which is on by default.
-
-b. There is a new #define available in config.h.top: SYS_BASH_LOGOUT. If
- defined to a filename, bash reads and executes commands from that file
- when a login shell exits. It's commented out by default.
-
-c. `ulimit' has a `-l' option that reports the maximum amount of data that
- may be locked into memory on 4.4BSD-based systems.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-beta1,
-and the previous version, bash-2.0-alpha4.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. A bug that sometimes caused traps to be ignored on signals the
- shell treats specially was fixed.
-
-b. The internationalization code was changed to track the values of
- LC_* variables and call setlocale() as appropriate. The TEXTDOMAIN
- and TEXTDOMAINDIR variables are also tracked; changes cause calls
- to textdomain() and bindtextdomain(), if available.
-
-c. A bug was fixed that sometimes caused double-quoted strings to be
- parsed incorrectly.
-
-d. Changes were made so that the siglist code compiles correctly on
- Solaris 2.5.
-
-e. Added `:' to the set of characters that cause word breaks for the
- completion code so that pathnames in assignments to $PATH can be
- completed.
-
-f. The `select' command was fixed to print $PS3 to stderr.
-
-g. Fixed an error in the manual page section describing the effect that
- setting and unsetting GLOBIGNORE has on the setting of the `dotglob'
- option.
-
-h. The time conversion code now uses CLK_TCK rather than CLOCKS_PER_SEC
- on systems without gettimeofday() and resources.
-
-i. The getopt static variables are now initialized each time a subshell
- is started, so subshells using `getopts' work right.
-
-j. A sign-extension bug that caused a possible security hole was fixed.
-
-k. The parser now reads characters between backquotes within a double-
- quoted string as a single word, so double quotes in the backquoted
- string don't terminate the enclosing double-quoted string.
-
-l. A bug that caused `^O' to work incorrectly when typed as the first
- thing to an interactive shell was fixed.
-
-m. A rarely-exercised off-by-one error in the code that quotes variable
- values was fixed.
-
-n. Some memory and file descriptor leaks encountered when running a
- shell script that is executable but does not have a leading `#!'
- were plugged.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. A bug that sometimes caused incorrect results when trying to read
- typeahead on systems without FIONREAD was fixed.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. The command timing code now uses the value of the TIMEFORMAT variable
- to format and display timing statistics.
-
-b. The `time' reserved word now accepts a `-p' option to force the
- POSIX.2 output format.
-
-c. There are a couple of new and updated scripts to convert csh startup
- files to bash format.
-
-d. There is a new builtin array variable: BASH_VERSINFO. The various
- members hold the parts of the version information in BASH_VERSION,
- plus the value of MACHTYPE.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. Setting LANG to `en_US.ISO8859-1' now causes readline to enter
- eight-bit mode.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-alpha4,
-and the previous version, bash-2.0-alpha3.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. There is better detection of rsh connections on Solaris 2.
-
-b. Assignments to read-only variables preceding a command name are now
- variable assignment errors. Variable assignment errors cause
- non-interactive shells running in posix mode to exit.
-
-c. The word tokenizer was rewritten to handle nested quotes and pairs
- ('', "", ``, ${...}, $(...), $[...], $'...', $"...", <(...), >(...))
- correctly. Some of the parameter expansion code was updated as a
- consequence.
-
-d. A fix was made to `test' when given three arguments so that a binary
- operator is checked for first, before checking that the first argument
- is `!'.
-
-e. 2''>/dev/null is no longer equivalent to 2>/dev/null.
-
-f. Parser error messages were regularized, and in most cases the name of
- the shell script being read by a non-interactive shell is not printed
- twice.
-
-g. A fix was made to the completion code so that it no longer removes the
- text the user typed in some cases.
-
-h. The special glibc `getopt' environment variable is no longer put into
- the environment on machines with small values of ARG_MAX.
-
-i. The expansion of ${...} now follows the POSIX.2 rules for finding the
- closing `}'.
-
-j. The shell no longer displays spurious status messages for background
- jobs in shell scripts that complete successfully when the script is
- run from a terminal.
-
-k. `shopt -o' now correctly updates $SHELLOPTS.
-
-l. A bug that caused the $PATH searching code to return a non-executable
- file even when an executable file with the same name appeared later in
- $PATH was fixed.
-
-m. The shell now does tilde expansions on unquoted `:~' in assignment
- statements when not in posix mode.
-
-n. Variable assignment errors when a command consists only of assignments
- now cause non-interactive shells to exit when in posix mode.
-
-o. If the variable in a `for' or `select' command is read-only, or not a
- legal shell identifier, a variable assignment error occurs.
-
-p. `test' now handles `-a' and `-o' as binary operators when three arguments
- are supplied, and correctly parses `( word )' as equivalent to `word'.
-
-q. `test' was fixed so that file names of the form /dev/fd/NN mean the same
- thing on all systems, even Linux.
-
-r. Fixed a bug in the globbing code that caused patterns with multiple
- consecutive `*'s to not be matched correctly.
-
-s. Fixed a bug that caused $PS2 to not be printed when an interactive shell
- not using readline is reading a here document.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that caused history expansion to be performed inappropriately
- when a single-quoted string spanned more than one line.
-
-u. `getopts' now checks that the variable name passed by the user as the
- second argument is a legal shell identifier and that the variable is
- not read-only.
-
-v. Fixed `getopts' to obey POSIX.2 rules for setting $OPTIND when it
- encounters an error.
-
-w. Fixed `set' to display variable values in a form that can be re-read.
-
-x. Fixed a bug in the code that keeps track of whether or not local variables
- have been declared at the current level of function nesting.
-
-y. Non-interactive shells in posix mode now exit if the name in a function
- declaration is not a legal identifier.
-
-z. The job control code now ignores stopped children when the shell is not
- interactive.
-
-aa. The `cd' builtin no longer attempts spelling correction on the directory
- name if the shell is not interactive, regardless of the setting of the
- `cdspell' option.
-
-bb. Some OS-specific changes were made for SCO 3.2v[45] and AIX 4.2.
-
-cc. `time' now prints its output to stderr, as POSIX.2 specifies.
-
-2. Fixes to Readline
-
-a. After printing possible completions, all lines of a multi-line prompt
- are redisplayed.
-
-b. Some changes were made to the terminal handling code in rltty.c to
- work around AIX 4.2 bugs.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. There is a new loadable builtin: sprintf, with calling syntax
- sprintf var format [args]
- This provides an easy way to simulate ksh left- and right-justified
- variable values.
-
-b. The expansions of \h and \H in prompt strings were swapped. \h now
- expands to the hostname up to the first `.', as in bash-1.14.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. The bash-1.14 behavior when ^M is typed while doing an incremental
- search was restored. ^J may now be used to terminate the search without
- accepting the line.
-
-b. There is a new bindable variable: disable-completion. This inhibits
- word completion and causes the completion character to be inserted as
- if it had been bound to self-insert.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-alpha3,
-and the previous version, bash-2.0-alpha2.
-
-There is now a file `COMPAT' included in the distribution that lists the
-user-visible incompatibilities between 1.14 and 2.0.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Some work was done so that word splitting of the rhs of assignment
- statements conforms more closely to historical practice.
-
-b. A couple of errant memory frees were fixed.
-
-c. A fix was made to the test builtin so it recognizes `<' and `>' as
- binary operators.
-
-d. The GNU malloc in lib/malloc/malloc.c now scrambles memory as it's
- allocated and freed. This is to catch callers that refer to freed
- memory or assume something about newly-allocated memory.
-
-e. Fixed a problem with conversion to 12-hour time in the prompt
- expansion code.
-
-f. Fixed a problem with configure's argument parsing order. Now you can
- correctly turn on specific options after using --enable-minimal-config.
-
-g. The configure script now automatically disables the use of GNU malloc
- on systems where it's appropriate (better than having people read the
- NOTES file and do it manually).
-
-h. There are new prompt expansions (\v and \V) to insert version information
- into the prompt strings.
-
-i. The default prompt string now includes the version number.
-
-j. Most of the builtins that take no options were changed to use the
- internal getopt so they can produce proper error messages for -?
- and incorrect options.
-
-k. Some system-specific changes were made for SVR4.2 and Solaris 2.5.
-
-l. Bash now uses PATH_MAX instead of MAXPATHLEN and NAME_MAX instead of
- MAXNAMLEN.
-
-m. A couple of problems caused by uninitialized variables were fixed.
-
-n. There are a number of new loadable builtin examples: logname, basename,
- dirname, tty, pathchk, tee, head, and rmdir. All of these conform to
- POSIX.2.
-
-o. Bash now notices changes in TZ and calls tzset() if present, so
- changing TZ will alter the time printed by prompt expansions.
-
-p. The source was reorganized a bit so I don't have to wait so long for
- some files to compile, and to facilitate the creation of a `shell
- library' at some future point.
-
-q. Bash no longer turns off job control if called as `sh', since the
- POSIX.2 spec includes job control as a standard feature.
-
-r. `bash -o posix' now works as intended.
-
-s. Fixed a problem with the completion code: when completing a filename
- that contained globbing characters, if show-all-if-ambiguous was set,
- the completion code would remove the user's text.
-
-t. Fixed ulimit so that (hopefully) the full range of limits is available
- on HPUX systems.
-
-u. A new `shopt' option (`hostcomplete') enables and disables hostname
- completion.
-
-v. The shell no longer attempts to save the history on an abort(),
- which is usually called by programming_error().
-
-w. The `-s' option to `fc' was changed to echo the command to be executed
- to stderr instead of stdout.
-
-x. If the editor invoked by `fc -e' exits with a non-zero status, no
- commands are executed.
-
-y. Fixed a bug that made the shopt `histverify' option work incorrectly.
-
-z. There is a new variable `MACHTYPE' whose value is the GNU-style
- `cpu-company-system' system description as set by configure. (The
- values of MACHTYPE and HOSTTYPE should really be swapped.)
-
-aa. The `ulimit' builtin now allows the maximum virtual memory size to be
- set via setrlimit(2) if RLIMIT_VMEM is defined.
-
-bb. `bash -nc 'command'' no longer runs `command'.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a typo in the code that checked for FIONREAD in input.c.
-
-b. Fixed a bug in the code that outputs keybindings, so things like C-\
- are quoted properly.
-
-c. Fixed a bug in the inputrc file parsing code to handle the problems
- caused by inputrc files created from the output of `bind -p' in
- previous versions of bash. The problem was due to the bug fixed
- in item b above.
-
-d. Readline no longer turns off the terminal's meta key, and turns it on
- once the first time it's called.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This file documents the changes between this version, bash-2.0-alpha2,
-and the previous version, bash-2.0-alpha.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. The shell no longer thinks directories are executable.
-
-b. `disown' has a new option, `h', which inhibits the resending of SIGHUP
- but does not remove the job from the jobs table.
-
-c. The varargs functions in error.c now use ANSI-C `stdarg' if available.
-
-d. The build process now treats the `build version' in .build as local to
- the build directory, so different versions built from the same source
- tree have different `build versions'.
-
-e. Some problems with the grammar have been fixed. (It used `list' in a few
- productions where `compound_list' was needed. A `list' must be terminated
- with a newline or semicolon; a `compound_list' need not be.)
-
-f. A fix was made to keep `wait' from hanging when waiting for all background
- jobs.
-
-g. `bash --help' now writes its output to stdout, like the GNU Coding Standards
- specify, and includes the machine type (the value of MACHTYPE).
-
-h. `bash --version' now prints more information and exits successfully, like
- the GNU Coding Standards specify.
-
-i. The output of `time' and `times' now prints fractional seconds with three
- places after the decimal point.
-
-j. A bug that caused process substitutions to screw up the pipeline printed
- by `jobs' was fixed.
-
-k. Fixes were made to the code that implements $'...' and $"..." so they
- work as documented.
-
-l. The process substitution code now opens named pipes for reading with
- O_NONBLOCK to avoid hanging.
-
-m. Fixes were made to the trap code so the shell cleans up correctly if the
- trap command contains a `return' and we're executing a function or
- sourcing a script with `.'.
-
-n. Fixes to doc/Makefile.in so that it doesn't try to remake all of the
- documentation (ps, dvi, etc.) on a `make install'.
-
-o. Fixed an auto-increment error that caused bash -c args to sometimes dump
- core.
-
-p. Fixed a bug that caused $HISTIGNORE to fail when the history line
- contained globbing characters.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. There is a new string variable, rl_library_version, available for use by
- applications. The current value is "2.1".
-
-b. A bug encountered when expand-tilde was enabled and file completion was
- attempted on a word beginning with `~/' was fixed.
-
-c. A slight change was made to the incremental search termination behavior.
- ESC still terminates the search, but if input is pending or arrives
- within 0.1 seconds (on systems with select(2)), it is used as a prefix
- character. This is intented to allow users to terminate searches with
- the arrow keys and get the behavior they expect.

-Compatibility with previous versions
-====================================
-
-This document details the incompatibilities between this version of bash,
-bash-4.1, and the previous widely-available versions, bash-2.x (which is
-still the `standard' version for a few Linux distributions) and bash-3.x.
-These were discovered by users of bash-2.x and 3.x, so this list is not
-comprehensive. Some of these incompatibilities occur between the current
-version and versions 2.0 and above.
-
-1. Bash uses a new quoting syntax, $"...", to do locale-specific
- string translation. Users who have relied on the (undocumented)
- behavior of bash-1.14 will have to change their scripts. For
- instance, if you are doing something like this to get the value of
- a variable whose name is the value of a second variable:
-
- eval var2=$"$var1"
-
- you will have to change to a different syntax.
-
- This capability is directly supported by bash-2.0:
-
- var2=${!var1}
-
- This alternate syntax will work portably between bash-1.14 and bash-2.0:
-
- eval var2=\$${var1}
-
-2. One of the bugs fixed in the YACC grammar tightens up the rules
- concerning group commands ( {...} ). The `list' that composes the
- body of the group command must be terminated by a newline or
- semicolon. That's because the braces are reserved words, and are
- recognized as such only when a reserved word is legal. This means
- that while bash-1.14 accepted shell function definitions like this:
-
- foo() { : }
-
- bash-2.0 requires this:
-
- foo() { :; }
-
- This is also an issue for commands like this:
-
- mkdir dir || { echo 'could not mkdir' ; exit 1; }
-
- The syntax required by bash-2.0 is also accepted by bash-1.14.
-
-3. The options to `bind' have changed to make them more consistent with
- the rest of the bash builtins. If you are using `bind -d' to list
- the readline key bindings in a form that can be re-read, use `bind -p'
- instead. If you were using `bind -v' to list the key bindings, use
- `bind -P' instead.
-
-4. The `long' invocation options must now be prefixed by `--' instead
- of `-'. (The old form is still accepted, for the time being.)
-
-5. There was a bug in the version of readline distributed with bash-1.14
- that caused it to write badly-formatted key bindings when using
- `bind -d'. The only key sequences that were affected are C-\ (which
- should appear as \C-\\ in a key binding) and C-" (which should appear
- as \C-\"). If these key sequences appear in your inputrc, as, for
- example,
-
- "\C-\": self-insert
-
- they will need to be changed to something like the following:
-
- "\C-\\": self-insert
-
-6. A number of people complained about having to use ESC to terminate an
- incremental search, and asked for an alternate mechanism. Bash-2.03
- uses the value of the settable readline variable `isearch-terminators'
- to decide which characters should terminate an incremental search. If
- that variable has not been set, ESC and Control-J will terminate a
- search.
-
-7. Some variables have been removed: MAIL_WARNING, notify, history_control,
- command_oriented_history, glob_dot_filenames, allow_null_glob_expansion,
- nolinks, hostname_completion_file, noclobber, no_exit_on_failed_exec, and
- cdable_vars. Most of them are now implemented with the new `shopt'
- builtin; others were already implemented by `set'. Here is a list of
- correspondences:
-
- MAIL_WARNING shopt mailwarn
- notify set -o notify
- history_control HISTCONTROL
- command_oriented_history shopt cmdhist
- glob_dot_filenames shopt dotglob
- allow_null_glob_expansion shopt nullglob
- nolinks set -o physical
- hostname_completion_file HOSTFILE
- noclobber set -o noclobber
- no_exit_on_failed_exec shopt execfail
- cdable_vars shopt cdable_vars
-
-8. `ulimit' now sets both hard and soft limits and reports the soft limit
- by default (when neither -H nor -S is specified). This is compatible
- with versions of sh and ksh that implement `ulimit'. The bash-1.14
- behavior of, for example,
-
- ulimit -c 0
-
- can be obtained with
-
- ulimit -S -c 0
-
- It may be useful to define an alias:
-
- alias ulimit="ulimit -S"
-
-9. Bash-2.01 uses a new quoting syntax, $'...' to do ANSI-C string
- translation. Backslash-escaped characters in ... are expanded and
- replaced as specified by the ANSI C standard.
-
-10. The sourcing of startup files has changed somewhat. This is explained
- more completely in the INVOCATION section of the manual page.
-
- A non-interactive shell not named `sh' and not in posix mode reads
- and executes commands from the file named by $BASH_ENV. A
- non-interactive shell started by `su' and not in posix mode will read
- startup files. No other non-interactive shells read any startup files.
-
- An interactive shell started in posix mode reads and executes commands
- from the file named by $ENV.
-
-11. The <> redirection operator was changed to conform to the POSIX.2 spec.
- In the absence of any file descriptor specification preceding the `<>',
- file descriptor 0 is used. In bash-1.14, this was the behavior only
- when in POSIX mode. The bash-1.14 behavior may be obtained with
-
- <>filename 1>&0
-
-12. The `alias' builtin now checks for invalid options and takes a `-p'
- option to display output in POSIX mode. If you have old aliases beginning
- with `-' or `+', you will have to add the `--' to the alias command
- that declares them:
-
- alias -x='chmod a-x' --> alias -- -x='chmod a-x'
-
-13. The behavior of range specificiers within bracket matching expressions
- in the pattern matcher (e.g., [A-Z]) depends on the current locale,
- specifically the value of the LC_COLLATE environment variable. Setting
- this variable to C or POSIX will result in the traditional ASCII behavior
- for range comparisons. If the locale is set to something else, e.g.,
- en_US (specified by the LANG or LC_ALL variables), collation order is
- locale-dependent. For example, the en_US locale sorts the upper and
- lower case letters like this:
-
- AaBb...Zz
-
- so a range specification like [A-Z] will match every letter except `z'.
- Other locales collate like
-
- aAbBcC...zZ
-
- which means that [A-Z] matches every letter except `a'.
-
- The portable way to specify upper case letters is [:upper:] instead of
- A-Z; lower case may be specified as [:lower:] instead of a-z.
-
- Look at the manual pages for setlocale(3), strcoll(3), and, if it is
- present, locale(1).
-
- You can find your current locale information by running locale(1):
-
- caleb.ins.cwru.edu(2)$ locale
- LANG=en_US
- LC_CTYPE="en_US"
- LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
- LC_TIME="en_US"
- LC_COLLATE="en_US"
- LC_MONETARY="en_US"
- LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
- LC_ALL=en_US
-
- My advice is to put
-
- export LC_COLLATE=C
-
- into /etc/profile and inspect any shell scripts run from cron for
- constructs like [A-Z]. This will prevent things like
-
- rm [A-Z]*
-
- from removing every file in the current directory except those beginning
- with `z' and still allow individual users to change the collation order.
- Users may put the above command into their own profiles as well, of course.
-
-14. Bash versions up to 1.14.7 included an undocumented `-l' operator to
- the `test/[' builtin. It was a unary operator that expanded to the
- length of its string argument. This let you do things like
-
- test -l $variable -lt 20
-
- for example.
-
- This was included for backwards compatibility with old versions of the
- Bourne shell, which did not provide an easy way to obtain the length of
- the value of a shell variable.
-
- This operator is not part of the POSIX standard, because one can (and
- should) use ${#variable} to get the length of a variable's value.
- Bash-2.x does not support it.
-
-15. Bash no longer auto-exports the HOME, PATH, SHELL, TERM, HOSTNAME,
- HOSTTYPE, MACHTYPE, or OSTYPE variables. If they appear in the initial
- environment, the export attribute will be set, but if bash provides a
- default value, they will remain local to the current shell.
-
-16. Bash no longer initializes the FUNCNAME, GROUPS, or DIRSTACK variables
- to have special behavior if they appear in the initial environment.
-
-17. Bash no longer removes the export attribute from the SSH_CLIENT or
- SSH2_CLIENT variables, and no longer attempts to discover whether or
- not it has been invoked by sshd in order to run the startup files.
-
-18. Bash no longer requires that the body of a function be a group command;
- any compound command is accepted.
-
-19. As of bash-3.0, the pattern substitution operators no longer perform
- quote removal on the pattern before attempting the match. This is the
- way the pattern removal functions behave, and is more consistent.
-
-20. After bash-3.0 was released, I reimplemented tilde expansion, incorporating
- it into the mainline word expansion code. This fixes the bug that caused
- the results of tilde expansion to be re-expanded. There is one
- incompatibility: a ${paramOPword} expansion within double quotes will not
- perform tilde expansion on WORD. This is consistent with the other
- expansions, and what POSIX specifies.
-
-21. A number of variables have the integer attribute by default, so the +=
- assignment operator returns expected results: RANDOM, LINENO, MAILCHECK,
- HISTCMD, OPTIND.
-
-22. Bash-3.x is much stricter about $LINENO correctly reflecting the line
- number in a script; assignments to LINENO have little effect.
-
-23. By default, readline binds the terminal special characters to their
- readline equivalents. As of bash-3.1/readline-5.1, this is optional and
- controlled by the bind-tty-special-chars readline variable.
-
-24. The \W prompt string expansion abbreviates $HOME as `~'. The previous
- behavior is available with ${PWD##/*/}.
-
-25. The arithmetic exponentiation operator is right-associative as of bash-3.1.
-
-26. The rules concerning valid alias names are stricter, as per POSIX.2.
-
-27. The Readline key binding functions now obey the convert-meta setting active
- when the binding takes place, as the dispatch code does when characters
- are read and processed.
-
-28. The historical behavior of `trap' reverting signal disposition to the
- original handling in the absence of a valid first argument is implemented
- only if the first argument is a valid signal number.
-
-29. In versions of bash after 3.1, the ${parameter//pattern/replacement}
- expansion does not interpret `%' or `#' specially. Those anchors don't
- have any real meaning when replacing every match.
-
-30. Beginning with bash-3.1, the combination of posix mode and enabling the
- `xpg_echo' option causes echo to ignore all options, not looking for `-n'
-
-31. Beginning with bash-3.2, bash follows the Bourne-shell-style (and POSIX-
- style) rules for parsing the contents of old-style backquoted command
- substitutions. Previous versions of bash attempted to recursively parse
- embedded quoted strings and shell constructs; bash-3.2 uses strict POSIX
- rules to find the closing backquote and simply passes the contents of the
- command substitution to a subshell for parsing and execution.
-
-32. Beginning with bash-3.2, bash uses access(2) when executing primaries for
- the test builtin and the [[ compound command, rather than looking at the
- file permission bits obtained with stat(2). This obeys restrictions of
- the file system (e.g., read-only or noexec mounts) not available via stat.
-
-33. Bash-3.2 adopts the convention used by other string and pattern matching
- operators for the `[[' compound command, and matches any quoted portion
- of the right-hand-side argument to the =~ operator as a string rather
- than a regular expression.
-
-34. Bash-4.0 allows the behavior in the previous item to be modified using
- the notion of a shell `compatibility level'. If the compat31 shopt
- option is set, quoting the pattern has no special effect.
-
-35. Bash-3.2 (patched) and Bash-4.0 fix a bug that leaves the shell in an
- inconsistent internal state following an assignment error. One of the
- changes means that compound commands or { ... } grouping commands are
- aborted under some circumstances in which they previously were not.
- This is what Posix specifies.
-
-36. Bash-4.0 now allows process substitution constructs to pass unchanged
- through brace expansion, so any expansion of the contents will have to be
- separately specified, and each process subsitution will have to be
- separately entered.
-
-37. Bash-4.0 now allows SIGCHLD to interrupt the wait builtin, as Posix
- specifies, so the SIGCHLD trap is no longer always invoked once per
- exiting child if you are using `wait' to wait for all children.
-
-38. Since bash-4.0 now follows Posix rules for finding the closing delimiter
- of a $() command substitution, it will not behave as previous versions
- did, but will catch more syntax and parsing errors before spawning a
- subshell to evaluate the command substitution.
-
-39. The programmable completion code uses the same set of delimiting characters
- as readline when breaking the command line into words, rather than the
- set of shell metacharacters, so programmable completion and readline
- should be more consistent.
-
-40. When the read builtin times out, it attempts to assign any input read to
- specified variables, which also causes variables to be set to the empty
- string if there is not enough input. Previous versions discarded the
- characters read.
-
-41. Beginning with bash-4.0, when one of the commands in a pipeline is killed
- by a SIGINT while executing a command list, the shell acts as if it
- received the interrupt. This can be disabled by setting the compat31 or
- compat32 shell options.
-
-42. Bash-4.0 changes the handling of the set -e option so that the shell exits
- if a pipeline fails (and not just if the last command in the failing
- pipeline is a simple command). This is not as Posix specifies. There is
- work underway to update this portion of the standard; the bash-4.0
- behavior attempts to capture the consensus at the time of release.
-
-43. Bash-4.0 fixes a Posix mode bug that caused the . (source) builtin to
- search the current directory for its filename argument, even if "." is
- not in $PATH. Posix says that the shell shouldn't look in $PWD in this
- case.
-
-44. Bash-4.1 uses the current locale when comparing strings using the < and
- > operators to the `[[' command. This can be reverted to the previous
- behavior by setting one of the `compatNN' shopt options.
-
-Shell Compatibility Level
-=========================
-
-Bash-4.0 introduced the concept of a `shell compatibility level', specified
-as a set of options to the shopt builtin (compat31, compat32, compat40 at
-this writing). There is only one current compatibility level -- each
-option is mutually exclusive. This list does not mention behavior that is
-standard for a particular version (e.g., setting compat32 means that quoting
-the rhs of the regexp matching operator quotes special regexp characters in
-the word, which is default behavior in bash-3.2 and above).
-
-compat31 set
- - the < and > operators to the [[ command do not consider the current
- locale when comparing strings
- - quoting the rhs of the regexp matching operator (=~) has no
- special effect
-
-compat32 set
- - the < and > operators to the [[ command do not consider the current
- locale when comparing strings
-
-compat40 set
- - the < and > operators to the [[ command do not consider the current
- locale when comparing strings
- - interrupting a command list such as "a ; b ; c" causes the execution
- of the entire list to be aborted (in versions before bash-4.0,
- interrupting one command in a list caused the next to be executed)
-
-compat41 set
- - interrupting a command list such as "a ; b ; c" causes the execution
- of the entire list to be aborted (in versions before bash-4.0,
- interrupting one command in a list caused the next to be executed)
- - when in posix mode, single quotes in the `word' portion of a
- double-quoted parameter expansion define a new quoting context and
- are treated specially

- -----
-doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
- - changed description of `set' builtin slightly so that it is clear
- that only variables are displayed in posix mode and that read-only
- variables can't be reset by simply sourcing the output of `set'
-
-lib/sh/strftime.c
- - don't try to redefine `inline' if it's already defined
-

- - make same changes as 11/26, this time to _evalfile
-
-execute_cmd.c
- - change execute_function to run the return trap after a function
- completes execution even if the shell is compiled without DEBUGGER
- defined
-
-trap.c
- - change reset_or_restore_signal_handlers so that the RETURN trap is
- not inherited by command substitution when DEBUGGER is not defined
-
- 11/30
- -----
-lib/readline/misc.c
- - fix memory leaks in _rl_free_history_entry and rl_maybe_replace_line
- caused by not freeing `timestamp' member of history entry
- - make sure timestamp is initialized to NULL in rl_maybe_save_line
-
- 12/1
- ----
-execute_cmd.c
- - fix execute_function so a function calling `return' will run the
- RETURN trap, if one's defined
-
-doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
- - fix description of RETURN trap in various places to indicate that it's
- only inherited by shell functions if function tracing is on globally
- or has been enabled for that function
- - fix documentation to indicate that the DEBUG and RETURN traps are
- inherited under the same conditions
-
-execute_cmd.c
- - a function does not inherit the RETURN trap if a DEBUG trap is
- currently running

-lib/glob/xmbsrtowcs.c
- - change xmbsrtowcs to handle the one case where malloc can fail
- (though it should not matter) -- don't try to free a null pointer
-
- 12/9
- ----
-subst.c
- - fix get_var_and_type to handle var[@], where `var' is a scalar
- variable, identically to var -- all calling expansions can now

- READLINE is defined
-
- 12/16
- -----
-subst.c
- - fixed a typo in string_extract_verbatim in first call to MBLEN
- (used `slen - 1' instead of `slen - i')
-
- 12/17
- -----
-subst.c
- - avoid some calls to strlen if the value is only being used for
- ADVANCE_CHAR and MB_CUR_MAX == 1 (since ADVANCE_CHAR doesn't need
- it unless multibyte characters are possible)
- - change string_extract_verbatim so it takes the length of the string
- as a parameter, so we don't have to recompute the length of the same
- string over and over again when doing word splitting (that kills if
- it's a long string)
-
- 12/18
- -----
-subst.c
- - in string_list_dollar_star, make sure to null-terminate the
- separator if the character is longer than one byte
-
- 12/22
- -----
-doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
- - changed text in quoting section explaining that double quotes do
- not prevent history expansion from taking place, and that backslashes
- escaping ! are not removed
-
- 12/28
- -----
-shell.c
- - set gnu_error_format to 1 if running under emacs. This should allow
- the emacs `next-error' stuff to work, at least for interactive shells
-
-parse.y
- - change yy_stream_get to set interrupt_immediately before calling
- getc_with_restart when the shell is interactive. This avoids the
- synchronization problem caused by the call to QUIT in read_a_line,
- which results in the first character after a SIGINT/^C to be
- dropped
-
- 12/30
- -----
-builtins/mkbuiltins.c
- - changes to write long documentation to arrays as a single string by
- default, rather than an array of strings -- enabled by default
- - new option, -S, to restore old behavior of writing multiple strings
- for long documentation
- - changes to avoid filenames written when the separate-filenames option
- (-H) has been supplied being run through gettext
-
-configure.in
- - new cofiguration option, --enable-single-help-strings (on by default),
- causes help text to be stored as a single string (or smaller set than
- one string per line)
-
-builtins/Makefile.in
- - pass `-S' to mkbuiltins if single-help-strings is turned off
-
-doc/bashref.texi
- - documented new `single-help-strings' configure option
-
- 1/3/2005
- --------
-jobs.c
- - make wait_for return a non-zero status if the job or processed
- waited for is suspended. Returns 128 + stop signal. This fixes
- the problem with `echo one && sleep 5 && echo two' displaying
- `two' after the sleep is suspended
-

-print_cmd.c
- - change indirection_level_string so the code duplicates the first
- character of $PS4 to indicate the indirection level, rather than
- the first byte
-
- 1/8
- ---
-variables.c
- - new special variable hook function for COMP_WORDBREAKS; sets
- rl_completer_word_break_characters back to NULL when the variable
- is unset
- - change bind_variable_value to understand dynamic variables with
- assign_function set, and handle them correctly. If the variable is
- being appended to, use make_variable_value to create the new
- value
- - change bind_variable_internal to understand dynamic variables with
- assign_function set, and handle them the same way
- - RANDOM and LINENO now get the integer attribute, so appending works
- as expected
- - ditto for HISTCMD, MAILCHECK, OPTIND
-
-lib/readline/display.c
- - change _rl_make_prompt_for_search to set prompt_physical_chars
- appropriately
- - rl_save_prompt and rl_restore_prompt save and restore
- prompt_prefix_length
- - change redraw_prompt to use rl_save_prompt and rl_restore_prompt
- - change rl_restore_prompt to set the `save' variables back to
- NULL/0 so code can check whether or not the prompt has been saved
- - change rl_message and rl_clear_message to save and restore the
- prompt if the caller has not already done it (using a simple
- semaphore-like variable)
- - change rl_message to call expand_prompt, so that local_prompt and
- local_prompt prefix are set before calling the redisplay functions,
- in case the prompt is longer than a screenwidth (fixes bug
- reported to debian by epl@unimelb.edu.au)
-
-lib/readline/doc/rltech.texi
- - make sure to note that rl_save_prompt should be called before
- rl_message, and rl_restore_prompt before rl_clear_message
-
-pcomplete.c
- - make sure to save and restore the parser state around the call to
- execute_shell_function in gen_shell_function_matches. Fixes bug
- reported by a050106.1.keeLae3x@captaincrumb.com (cute)
-
-lib/readline/readline.c
- - fix _rl_dispatch_subseq in the case where we're recursing back up
- the chain (r == -2) and we encounter a key shadowed by a keymap,
- but originally bound to self-insert. Calling rl_dispatch with
- ANYOTHERKEY as the first argument will call rl_insert, but with
- ANYOTHERKEY (256) as the char to insert. Use the shadow keymap
- and set things up to dispatch to rl_insert with the shadowed key
- as the argument. Fixes the bug reported by Thomas Glanzmann

- - parameter_brace_expand now returns a WORD_DESC * -- changed
- callers to understand
- - in expand_word_internal, only call remove_quoted_nulls after a word

- - changes to pass W_HASQUOTEDNULL flag out of expand_word_internal;
- changed callers to call remove_quoted_nulls only if return value has
- W_HASQUOTEDNULL set. This is a mostly-complete fix for the
- long-standing CTLNUL confusion between a quoted null expansion and
- the expansion of a variable with a literal '\177' in its value
- - change string_list_dollar_at to compute the separator character the
- same way as string_list_dollar_star: using the already-computed
- values generated in setifs()
- - when expanding unquoted $*, if $IFS is empty, check whether or not

- - set w->word to 0 before putting a WORD_DESC * back in the cache in
- dispose_word_desc; changed callers to delete those assignments
-
-variables.c
- - change assign_random and get_random_value so that the random number

- - set SIZE to the appropriate value if some cross-compiling tool
- chain is being used; `size' by default (can be overridden by

- - change various functions to keep counters and stats in struct jobstats
-
-pcomplete.c, builtins/common.c, builtins/{exit,fg_bg,jobs,kill,wait}.def
- - change global variables (e.g., job_slots) to struct members

- - use INVALID_JOB define where appropriate
- - use get_job_by_jid and J_JOBSTATE where appropriate
-
-trap.c

- string if the function pointer is reset_signal, which is used when
- the trap strings shouldn't be freed, like in command substitution
-

- ---
-jobs.c
- - new function, realloc_jobs_list, copies jobs array to newly-allocated
- memory shrinking (or growing) size to have next multiple of JOB_SLOTS
- greater than js.j_njobs
- - change compact_jobs_list to just call reap_dead_jobs and then
- realloc_jobs_list, simplifying it considerably
- - discard_pipeline now returns `int': the number of processes freed
- - slightly changed the logic deciding whether or not to call
- compact_jobs_list: now non-interactive shells will compact the

- better describes the result
- - new function find_process, calls find_pipeline and searches the
- returned pipeline for the PROCESS * describing the desired pid
- - in make_child, if fork() returns the same pid as the value of
- last_asynchronous_pid when RECYCLES_PIDS is defined, avoid pid
- aliasing by resetting last_asynchronous_pid to 1
- - use PRUNNING instead of child->running, since we, for the most
- part, don't want to consider recycled pids (e.g., in make_child())
- - call find_process instead of find_pipeline in waitchld()
- - use PEXITED(p) instead of testing p->running == PS_DONE
- - in make_child, call bgp_delete to remove a just-created pid from the
- last of saved pid statuses
- - in add_process, check whether or not pid being added is already in

- IFS character that is not space, tab, or newline *and any adjacent
- IFS white space* as a single delimiter, as SUSv3/XPG6 says
-
-builtins/read.def
- - check whether or not the number of fields is exactly the same as
- the number of variables instead of just assigning the rest of the
- line (minus any trailing IFS white space) to the last variable.
- This parses a field and checks whether or not it consumes all of
- the input (including any trailing field delimiters), falling back
- to the previous behavior if it does not. This is what POSIX.2
- specifies, I believe (and the consensus of the austin-group list).
- This requires a few tests in read.tests to be changed: backslashes
- escaping IFS whitespace characters at the end of input cause the
- whitespace characters to be preserved in the value assigned to the
- variable, and the trailing non-whitespace field delimiter issue

-lib/readline/callback.c
- - support for readline functions to `register' a function that will

- intended for functions that read a single additional character,
- like quoted-insert

- 9/24
- ----
-builtins/declare.def
- - make `declare [option] var' (and the `typeset' equivalent) create
- invisible variables, instead of assigning the null string to a
- visible variable. Fixes bug reported by Bernd Eggink
-
- 9/25
- ----
-builtins/common.[ch]
- - new function, builtin_warning(), like builtin_error but for warning
- messages
-
-builtins/bind.def
- - experimental: print a warning, but go on, if line editing not active
- when bind is invoked. Suggested by Rocky Bernstein
-

-test.c
- - use same_file instead of directly comparing st_dev and st_ino when
- comparing files in filecomp(). From mingw32 patches submitted
- by Hector Chu
-
- 10/4
- ----
-
-redir.c
- - in redirection_error(), use `error' instead of errno when comparing
- against EBADF. From mingw32 patches submitted by Hector Chu
-
-
-shell.c
- - in unset_bash_input(), reset bash_input.type to st_none after
- closing the default buffered fd. From mingw32 patches submitted
- by Hector Chu
-
-builtins/cd.def
- - ignore CDPATH when in privileged mode. Suggested by Paul Jarc
-
-
-variables.c
- - change sv_globignore to only act if privileged mode is not enabled.
- Suggested by Paul Jarc
-
-doc/bash.1,bashref.texi
- - document new treatment of CDPATH and GLOBIGNORE when privileged
- mode is enabled
-
-builtins/read.def
- - change prompt printing to occur after terminal is set to no-echo
- mode. Based on suggestion from Stephane Chazelas
-
-
-lib/readline/signals.c
- - new variables to keep track of special characters corresponding to
- SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SIGTSTP
- - new variable to keep track of whether tty is echoing control
- characters corresponding to SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SIGTSTP
- - new function, _rl_echo_signal_char(int sig) to display the tty
- special char generating SIGINT, SIGQUIT, or SIGTSTP. Based on
- idea and code from Joe Peterson
- - call rl_echo_signal_char in rl_signal_handler: if the terminal
- settings indicate it, readline will echo characters that generate
- keyboard signals
-
-lib/readline/rltty.c
- - set _rl_intr_char, _rl_quit_char, and _rl_susp_char to special
- characters that generate signals from keyboard
- - set _rl_echoctl if ECHOCTL tty flag is set
-
-lib/readline/rlprivate.h
- - extern declarations for _rl_intr_char, _rl_quit_char, and
- _rl_susp_char
- - extern declaration for _rl_echoctl
-
-lib/readline/readline.h
- - extern declaration for rl_echo_signal_char()
-
-lib/readline/doc/rltech.texi
- - document rl_echo_signal_handler(): available for applications
- that install their own signal handlers

-execute_cmd.c
- - fix errexit logic to not cause the shell to exit when a command in
- a pipeline fails. Fixes bug reported by Marcin Owsiany
-
-
- 10/14
- -----
-builtins/evalstring.c
- - don't short-circuit execution in parse_and_execute if we want to
- run an exit trap. Fixes bug reported by Steffen Kiess
-
-
- 10/18
- -----
-parse.y
- - fix error production to only call YYACCEPT if the shell is currently
- interactive and not in parse_and_execute (so parser errors in
- things like eval will correctly set $?). Fixes bug reported by
- marco-oweber@gmx.de
-
-execute_cmd.c
- - make sure variable name errors in execute_for_command and non-
- identifier function names in execute_intern_function set the
- return status to EX_BADUSAGE (2), not EX_USAGE (258)
-
-parser.h
- - new parser state, PST_REPARSE
-
-parse.y
- - turn PST_REPARSE on in parse_string_to_word_list
- - in parse_matched_pair, if parsing a single-quoted string and
- PST_REPARSE is set, don't requote CTLESC or CTLNUL. Fixes bug with
- compound array assignment using $'\x7f' reported by Antonio Macchi
-
-
- 10/23
- -----
-configure.in
- - define LOCAL_LDFLAGS as `-z interpose' on Solaris 8, 9, and 10 to
- allow the bash malloc to interpose the libc malloc when called by
- library functions pre-bound to the libc malloc. Suggested by
- Serge Dussud
-
- 10/26
- -----
-doc/bash.1
- - add single-sentence descriptions to rest of parameter expansions.
- Suggested by Ken Irving
-
- 10/27
- -----
-subst.c
- - rearrange code in skip_to_delims to allow quote characters and other
- shell expansion characters to be delimiters
- - add new flags value for inverting search: skip to the next character
- NOT in the set of delimiters passed as an argument
-
-subst.h
- - define for new SD_INVERT flag value for skip_to_delims
-
- 10/28
- -----
-bashline.c
- - new bindable functions: shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word.
- Like forward-word and backward-word, but understand shell quoting
- and use shell metacharacters and whitespace as delimiters.
- Suggested by Andre Majorel
- - new bindable functions: shell-kill-word and shell-backward-kill-word.
- Like kill-word and backward-kill-word, but understand shell quoting
- and use shell metacharacters and whitespace as delimiters.
- Suggested by Andre Majorel
-
-doc/bash.1,lib/readline/doc/rluser.texi
- - documented shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word
- - documented shell-kill-word and shell-backward-kill-word
-
- 11/1
- ----
-redir.c
- - add extra argument to add_undo_redirect: fdbase. FD used to save
- a file descriptor must be > fdbase if fdbase >= SHELL_FD_BASE. A
- value of -1 for fdbase means to just use SHELL_FD_BASE. Fixes bug
- with 0<&10 reported by Clark Jian Wang
-
- 11/5
- ----
-unwind_prot.c
- - new function: have_unwind_protects(); returns 1 if unwind_protect_list
- is not empty
-
-unwind_prot.h
- - extern declaration for have_unwind_protects
-
-builtins/evalstring.c
- - in parse_and_execute_cleanup, make sure that we don't call
- run_unwind_frame and expect it to decrement parse_and_execute_level
- if there's no unwind_protect_list, since there's a while loop in
- throw_to_top_level that calls parse_and_execute_cleanup as long as
- parse_and_execute_level is non-zero
-
- 11/9
- ----
-variables.c
- - fix the assign function for COMP_WORDBREAKS to allocate new memory
- to store as the variable's value, to avoid freeing memory twice
- if the variable is unset after rl_completer_word_break_characters
- is freed and reallocated. Fix from Mike Stroyan
-
- 11/20
- -----
-general.c
- - new 'file_exists(fn)' primitive; just calls stat(2)
-
-general.h
- - new extern declaration for file_exists
-
-bashline.c
- - add `~' to rl_filename_quote_characters so make_quoted_replacement
- will call bash_quote_filename for words containing `~'. Then
- bash_quote_filename can make choices based on that
- - change quote_word_break_chars to backslash-quote the tilde in a
- filename with a leading tilde that exists in the current directory,
- since we want to inhibit tilde expansion in this case
-
-execute_cmd.c
- - call file_isdir from shell_execve instead of stat(2) directly
-
-bashhist.c
- - use file_exists and file_isdir primitives instead of calling stat
-
- 11/21
- -----
-redir.c
- - When undoing saving of non-standard file descriptors (>=3) using
- file descriptors >= SHELL_FD_BASE, we set the saving fd to be
- close-on-exec and use a flag (RX_SAVCLEXEC) to decide how to set
- close-on-exec when the fd is restored. Set flag in add_undo_redirect,
- check in do_redirection_internal. Fixes problem reported by Andreas
- Schwab
-
- 11/26
- -----
-subst.c
- - fix param_expand to have expansions of $@ and $* exit the shell if
- there are no positional parameters and `set -u' is enabled. Fixes
- bug reported by Dan Jacobson
-
- 11/27
- -----
-lib/readline/display.c
- - fix update_line to not call space_to_eol if current cursor position
- (_rl_last_c_pos) indicates that we're already at end of line.
- Partial fix for bug reported by Mike Frysinger
- - in update_line, don't call insert_some_chars if that will start
- before the last invisible character in the prompt string and not
- draw the entire prompt string. More of the partial fix for bug
- reported by Mike Frysinger
- - fix update_line to adjust _rl_last_c_pos by wrap_offset when adding
- characters beginning before the last invisible character in the
- prompt. New code is same as previously existed in a different code
- path. Rest of fix for bug from Mike Frysinger
- - fix assignment of newline breaks (inv_lbreaks) to correctly account
- for prompts longer than two screen lines containing invisible
- characters. The assumption is that part of the invisible characters
- are on the first line (prompt_invis_chars_first_line) and the
- remainder are on the last (wrap_offset - prompt_invis_chars_first_line).
- Fix is in rl_redisplay. part of fix for bug reported by
- "Wesley J. Landaker" in
- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=265182
- [TENTATIVE]
- - fix _rl_move_cursor_relative to correctly offset `dpos' by `woff'
- when there are invisible characters on lines after the second by
- using (_rl_screenwidth*_rl_last_v_pos) when seeing whether or not
- we just wrote some invisible characters. Rest of fix for bug
- reported in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=265182

- -----
-sig.c
- - reset the execution context before running the exit trap in
- termsig_handler
-
-general.c
- - set and unset terminate_immediately like interrupt_immediately in
- bash_tilde_expand
-
-builtins/read.def
- - change terminate_immediately to a counter instead of a flag, as
- interrupt_immediately is used
-
-lib/readline/display.c
- - slight change to fix from 11/27 to deal with prompts longer than a
- screen line where the invisible characters all appear after the
- line wrap. Fixes bug reported by Andreas Schwab
-
-builtins/{echo,printf}.def
- - increment terminate_immediately at entry; decrement before returning.
- Fix for bug reported by Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de
-
- 12/16
- -----
-subst.c
- - fix off-by-one error in /dev/fd version of add_fifo_list; make
- sure we add to totfds when it is == fd, not just when fd > totfds.
- Fixes bug reported by marciso@gmail.com

- -----
-doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
- - document more clearly that when not in Posix mode, command
- substitution does not inherit the -e option. From bug report from
- Freddy Vulto
-
-{execute_cmd,sig,builtins/evalstring}.c
- - sentinel variable to keep track of whether or not we're supposed to
- ignore the failure status of a command executed in a command
- substitution even if the `-e' option is set: comsub_ignore_return
- - increment and decrement comsub_ignore_return in execute_simple_command
- before calling expand_words
- - in parse_and_execute, if comsub_ignore_return is non-zero and the
- SUBSHELL_COMSUB bit is set in subshell_environment, enable the
- CMD_IGNORE_RETURN flag in every command executed from the passed
- string. Fixes problem reported by Freddy Vulto
- - make sure to reset comsub_ignore_return every time we throw to the
- top level, like executing_list flag
-
- 1/2/2009
- --------
-parse.y
- - fix to rewind_input_stream to handle case of $(...) command
- substitution followed by a quoted literal newline. Report and fix
- from Andreas Schwab
-
- 1/7
- ---
-
-subst.c
- - fix match_wpattern and match_upattern to prefix a `*' to the
- pattern even if it starts with a `*(' (if extglob is enabled)
- before checking whether or not it can match anywhere in the
- string. Fixes bug reported by os@sernet.de.

- ---
-locale.c
- - since setlocale() doesn't set errno to anything meaningful,
- don't include the strerror() result in the error message if
- it fails
- - make sure the error messages printed when setlocale fails are
- localizable
-
- 1/11
- ----
-lib/readline/histexpand.c
- - make sure that every time history_no_expand_chars is tested, we
- also call the history_inhibit_expansion_function if it's set.
- Fixes bug reported by Yang Zhang
-
- 1/12
- ----
-trap.c
- - make sure to call parse_and_execute with the SEVAL_RESETLINE bit
- set in the flags so it will reset the line number when running
- the trap commands. Partial fix for bug reported by
- peter360@fastmail.us
-
- 1/14
- ----
-builtins/reserved.def
- - document `coproc' so it can be used with `help' builtin. Pointed
