- Lots of minor improvements in Wiki syntax, to the Wiki and to the
Ticket subsystem (with exports in CSV or RSS format)
This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.2-release,
and the previous version, bash-3.2-beta.
1. Changes to Bash
a. Fixed a bug that caused the temporary environment passed to a command to
affect the shell's environment under certain circumstances.
b. Fixed a bug in the printf builtin that caused the %q format specifier to
ignore empty string arguments.
c. Improved multibyte character environment detection at configuration time.
d. Fixed a bug in the read builtin that left spurious escape characters in the
input after processing backslashes when assigning to an array variable.
2. Changes to Readline
a. Fixed a redisplay bug that occurred in multibyte-capable locales when the
prompt was one character longer than the screen width.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.2-beta,
and the previous version, bash-3.2-alpha.
1. Changes to Bash
a. Changed the lexical analyzer to treat locale-specific blank characters as
white space.
b. Fixed a bug in command printing to avoid confusion between redirections and
process substitution.
c. Fixed problems with cross-compiling originating from inherited environment
variables.
d. Added write error reporting to printf builtin.
e. Fixed a bug in the variable expansion code that could cause a core dump in
a multi-byte locale.
f. Fixed a bug that caused substring expansion of a null string to return
incorrect results.
g. BASH_COMMAND now retains its previous value while executing commands as the
result of a trap, as the documentation states.
2. Changes to Readline
a. Fixed a bug with prompt redisplay in a multi-byte locale to avoid redrawing
the prompt and input line multiple times.
b. Fixed history expansion to not be confused by here-string redirection.
c. Readline no longer treats read errors by converting them to newlines, as
it does with EOF. This caused partial lines to be returned from readline().
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.2-alpha,
and the previous version, bash-3.1-release.
1. Changes to Bash
a. Fixed a source bug that caused the minimal configuration to not compile.
b. Fixed memory leaks in error handling for the `read' builtin.
c. Changed the [[ and (( compound commands to set PIPESTATUS with their exit
status.
d. Fixed some parsing problems with compound array assignments.
e. Added additional configuration changes for: NetBSD (incomplete multibyte
character support)
f. Fixed two bugs with local array variable creation when shadowing a variable
of the same name from a previous context.
g. Fixed the `read' builtin to restore the correct set of completion functions
if a timeout occurs.
h. Added code to defer the initialization of HISTSIZE (and its stifling of the
history list) until the history file is loaded, allowing a startup file to
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.
bb. Fixed a problem with quoted arguments to arithmetic expansions in certain
constructs.
cc. The command word completion code now no longer returns matching directories
while searching $PATH.
dd. Fixed a bug with zero-padding and precision handling in snprintf()
replacement.
ee. Fixed a bug that caused the command substitution code not to take embedded
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
the jobs list.
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
undone and redone properly.
e. Fixed a problem that prevented empty inserts in vi mode from being undone
properly.
f. Fixed a problem that caused readline to initialize with an incorrect idea
of whether or not the terminal can autowrap.
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
multiple times in a multibyte locale.
k. Fixed a bug that could cause the key sequence scanning code to return the
wrong function.
l. Fixed a problem with the callback interface that caused it to fail when
using multi-character keyboard macros.
m. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump when an edited history entry was
re-executed under certain conditions.
n. Fixed a bug that caused readline to reference freed memory when attmpting
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.
1. 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

terminators.
- use set vncunused to 0 and use vncdisplay to fix the VNC display to use
when vnc is enabled
- Enable a USB tablet pointing device by default, the mouse is barely useable
without it.

Changes:
0.69 Aug 16 2006
! Commented out two lines of code that were causing S::L to die under
a non-fatal error condition. This is a HACK.
0.68 July 6 2006
! Patched support for mod_perl Apache2 (thanks to JT Justman)
! Fixed bug where SOAP::SOM objects were not properly detected,
serialized and returned (thanks chris at prather dot o r g)
! Fixed bug with default_ns and ns functions so that they
serialized XML properly.
+ Started to add experimental DIME support - possible impacts to MIME
support as well
0.65-beta7 May 12 2005
+ Added default_ns and ns to replace the confusing use of uri() and
use_prefex()
0.65-beta6 June 3 2005
! Fixed bug resulting in XMLRPC requests to be serialized using the
doc/literal serializer if serializing arrays
0.65-beta5 May 6 2005
! Fixed critical bug which prevented all XMLRPC servers from working
0.65-beta4 Apr 3 2005
! Fixed bug 1160881 - HTTP headers are now terminated by \r\n for
compatibility with .NET and compliance with HTTP spec.
! Fixed 1158666 - stubmaker.pl no longer call deprecated subroutine
+ stubmaker.pl got a lot of enhancements - now has help and version
output, run time options, etc. See 'man stubmaker.pl' for more.
+ Classes generated by stub_maker.pl now have a special subroutine
called 'want_som.' When set to 1, the stub class will return a
SOAP::SOM object for every request.
! Fixed bug 1149427 - now capable of returning SOAP::SOM objects
from generated stub classes.
0.65-beta3 Mon Oct 25 2004
+ SOAP::Lite will only warn you once when you call a doc/literal
service
+ Added SOAP::Schema->cache_dir() and SOAP::Schema->cache_ttl(),
which control how code stubs generated from WSDLs are cached to
prevent constant reparsing of WSDL files.
! Tested SOAP::Lite against Google, Salesforce, and FedEx. So far,
clients can successfully call these service providers (at least
some of their operations) - testing does not provide 100% coverage
of their APIs.
0.65-beta2.1 Mon Oct 25 2004
+ Fixed bug in unit tests in which MIME::Tools was not properly detected
resulting in failed unit tests for some users.
+ Fixed some documentation issues (speling, etc).
0.65-beta2 Mon Oct 25 2004
** WARNING ** substantial changes have been made to SOAP::Lite in
this release in regards to how it manages attachments. The changes
may introduce instabilities into your software that relies on this
functionality. Please test your software with 0.65 prior to moving it
to a production environment.
+ Added ReleaseNotes.txt
+ Added section REPORTING BUGS to pod comments
+ Deprecated SOAP::Lite->schema removed
+ Deprecated SOAP::Lite->on_debug removed
+ Deprecated SOAP::Schema->schema in favor of SOAP::Schema->schema_url
+ Added SOAP::Schema->useragent - which returns the LWP::UserAgent instance
that will be used when accessing WSDLs via the SOAP::Lite->service call.
This is helpful when access to a WSDL requires authentication, etc.
+ Made changes that allow messages to be constructed using a NULL body:
<Envelope><Body /></Envelope>
+ Added constant OBJS_BY_REF_KEEPALIVE which defaults to 600 - this is
so that services can configure how long to cache objects marked as persistent
using SOAP::Server::Object->objects_by_reference()
+ Added the ability for a user to modify the UserAgent class used
by SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client, updated Transport.pm's documentation
to reflect this. Added $SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::USERAGENT_CLASS
variable as a means of setting this.
+ Added initial DIME support
+ SOAP Packager package/unpackage now take in a context variable as
input because DIME needs to know what version of SOAP you are using.
+ Refactored and rewrote README
+ Renamed SOAP::Schema->stub() to SOAP::Schema->generate_stub. This populates
a private variable called C<stub> with the autogenerate Perl code.
+ Added SOAP::Schema->stub() which returns the autogenerated Perl code used
internally by SOAP::Lite. This can be helpful for debugging SOAP::Lite's
utilization of WSDL, as well as helpful to developers working on S::L's
WSDL support.
0.65-beta1 Mon Oct 18 15:55:00 2004
+ Made SOAP::Serializer->readable actually produce readable XML!
! Fixed bug 747312 - Made XML Schema 2001 the default schema
+ Changed typelookup of base64 to base64Binary to conform with 2001
schema
+ Added support for [almost] all XML Schema 2001 built-in datatypes
+ Added register_ns subroutine to SOAP::Serializer
+ Added find_prefix subroutine to SOAP::Serializer
+ Added use_prefix subroutine to SOAP::Serializer
+ Added a necessary set of initial subroutinues to support wsdl2perl
project
+ Added format_datetime to SOAP::Utils
+ Documented SOAP::SOM->parts
+ Added SOAP::SOM->is_multipart
+ Properly escaped characters to facilitate emacs syntax highlighting
+ Ran podchecker to validate all POD comments
! Fixed bug 749636 - changed a croak to a warn to enable socket
timeouts in SOAP::Transport::TCP::Server
+ Added support for UDDI 2/3
+ Majorly revamped product documentation thanks to the kind
contribution made by O'Reilly. Appendix B from "Programming Web
Services with Perl" has been completely integrated.
+ To better segment SOAP::Lite documentation, many modules have been
added that contain documentation only. For those who loved the old
documentation, it can be found in lib/OldDocs/SOAP/*.pm and
lib/OldDocs/SOAP/Transport/*.pm
! Fix a bug in which doclit style arrays were not being deserialized
properly. IOW, Repeated elements were not made into an array, only
the last occurring value was recorded.
+ Added the ability for a SOAP Client to gain direct access to the
HTTP::Request and HTTP::Response objects.
+ Changed default envelope namespace prefix from SOAP-ENV to soap
+ Changed default encoding namespace prefix from SOAP-ENC to soapenc
+ Reachitected MIME support to decouple MIME layer from transport
layer. This only impacts the HTTP layer since that is the only
transport in SOAP::Lite that supports attachments.
+ Creation of SOAP::Packager - decoupled in an extensible way the
packaging of parts (a.k.a. attachments). This is used for encoding
and decoding. This enables a more seemless addition of DIME
support. Changes were made throughout SOAP::Lite to accomodate this
functionality.
- a call "context" was added to SOAP::Server and SOAP::Deserializer
so that those classes could have access to the global
SOAP::Packager instance
- deprecated many function calls and packages having to do with
attachment support
- fixed several of the SOAP::*::new() methods so that they don't
inadvertantly reinitialize themselves and destroy precious context
information in the process
+ Gave developers direct access to MIME::Parser object so that they
can optimize its use. See the following URL to optimize it for
memory consumption, parsing speed, disk utilization, etc:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/MIME-tools/lib/MIME/Parser.pm#OPTIMIZING_YOUR_PARSER
+ Added a context variable to SOAP::Serializer and SOAP::Deserializer
so that they have mechanisms for getting instance data from the
calling context. The value of context is either SOAP::Lite or
SOAP::Server depending upon the role the service is playing in the
transaction. Contexts are initialized when a call is made, and
destroyed when a call is completed.
+ Greater than character '>' has been added to list of characters
that will be automatically escaped. This is not a requirement by
the XML spec, it is a MAY, but I am doing it after seeing a minority
of people report a compatibility problem.
- Removed deprecated methods: SOAP::Serializer::namespace and
encodingspace
+ Added SOAP::Serializer::encodingStyle method which allows users to
set the URI for default encodingStyle.
+ Added initial support for literal encoding style. EXPERIMENTAL
+ Added some true constant values representing various SOAP namespace
URIs
+ Added SOAP::Constants::SUPPORTED_ENCODING_STYLES for better tracking
of the set of encoding styles that the toolkit can [de]serialize
! Fixed bug 840172 - "Makefile.PL --noprompt flag broken," now fixed
+ Updated SOAP 1.2 URIs to the latest (TODO - maintain support for
older ones)
+ Added HTTPS support for HTTP::Server Daemon class - thanks to Nils
Sowen for this contribution
