This is required to make 'export -f' work, which is enabled by default on
other OS I checked. While here sort the list of enabled options so that
it's easier to compare against the list of available options, as there are
still a number that we do not enable, and remove the bogus comment.

if that wait is interrupted by a trapped signal. A later wait for the
same pid would return status 127 (process not found) even though the
process was still running (and still in bash's jobs table).
This was a bug introduced in bash 5.1 (does not occur in 5.0 or earlier).
This patch should be removed when bash is next updated (to 5.2 or beyond)
(the change will be in the bash codebase) or if a patch is released from
upstream to fix this problem.
PGKREVISION++
{ This change is not significant enough to warrant an entry in doc/CHANGES. }
The new patches:
Patch 5: Fix memory leaks when using assigning arrays using ...
Patch 6: Use correct process group for command substitution processes
Patch 7: Fix readline version checking in inputrc files
Patch 8: Clean up FIFOs used for process substitutions properly
- This is oksh-6.9, matching ksh(1) from OpenBSD 6.9 with portability
additions.
From the OpenBSD 6.9 changelog:
- Fixed ksh(1) redrawing of a multiline PS1 prompt in vi mode and added
support for ^R (redraw) in insert mode.
Changelog from AN-2021-01-05:
- Bourne Shell: When we introduced ${.sh.path} in February 2020, we did
use the "new" and POSIX-only function realpath() that is not present
on e.g. Ultrix. We now use abspath() from libschily if realpath() is
missing.
Note that abspath() is better than realpath(), as it supports path
names longer than PATH_MAX, but since ${.sh.path} is only used to
return the absolute pathname for the current shell binary, this is
not a problem and on the other side, we can avoid linking against
libschily this way, so shell scripting with lazy linking is faster
since less libraries need to be linked at startup.
Changelog from AN-2021-04-21:
- Bourne Shell: gmatch.c: The new version no longer aborts with an
illegal multi byte sequence as "no match". As a result, the "*"
now again matches any filename - even if the filename contains an
illegal multi-byte sequence. This is a problem that did not exist
on the original Bourne Shell from Solaris that used gmatch() from
the AT&T libgen, but since we added our private portable gmatch.c.
to get better portability.
Thanks to Stephane Chazelas for reporting the problem related to
multi-byte to wide character conversion and illegal multi byte
sequences in the case statement and filesystem globbing.
- Bourne Shell: word.c::readwc() no longer uses prwc() but rather
a loop on the original multi-byte stream to print the "set -v"
output. This permits to output the original input data in any
case instead of stumbling over illegal multi-byte sequences.
Thanks to Stephane Chazelas for reporting the general problem
with input byte sequences that cause an EILSEQ error.
- Bourne Shell: struct fileblk now remembers lastwc and the related
input string as fileblk->mbs[] in order to avoid incorrect
conversions via wctomb() in case that the input wide char was a
result from an EILSEQ conversion and thus has no related multi
byte string.
An important visible result of that change is that input read
by the builtin command read(1) correctly forwards input that
caused an EILSEQ error.
It could not be verified whether this covers all possible similar
cases, but it is at least very close to a completely correct
solution.
Thanks to Stephane Chazelas for reporting the general problem
with input byte sequences that cause an EILSEQ error.
- Bourne Shell: xec.c: Cstyle changes
- Bourne Shell: the Copyright messages now mention 2021

fish 3.2.2 (released April 7, 2021)
====================================
This release of fish fixes a number of additional issues identified in the fish 3.2 series:
- The command-not-found handler used suggestions from ``pacman`` on Arch Linux, but this caused major slowdowns on some systems and has been disabled (:issue:`7841`).
- fish will no longer hang on exit if another process is in the foreground on macOS (:issue:`7901`).
- Certain programs (such as ``lazygit``) could create situations where fish would not receive keystrokes correctly, but it is now more robust in these situations (:issue:`7853`).
- Arguments longer than 1024 characters no longer trigger excessive CPU usage on macOS (:issue:`7837`).
- fish builds correctly on macOS when using new versions of Xcode (:issue:`7838`).
- Completions for ``aura`` (:issue:`7865`) and ``tshark`` (:issue:`7858`) should no longer produce errors.
- Background jobs no longer interfere with syntax highlighting (a regression introduced in fish 3.2.1, :issue:`7842`).
If you are upgrading from version 3.1.2 or before, please also review the release notes for 3.2.1 and 3.2.0 (included below).
fish 3.2.1 (released March 18, 2021)
====================================
This release of fish fixes the following problems identified in fish 3.2.0:
- Commands in key bindings are run with fish's internal terminal modes, instead of the terminal modes typically used for commands. This fixes a bug introduced in 3.2.0, where text would unexpectedly appear on the terminal, especially when pasting (:issue:`7770`).
- Prompts which use the internal ``__fish_print_pipestatus`` function will display correctly rather than carrying certain modifiers (such as bold) further than intended (:issue:`7771`).
- Redirections to internal file descriptors is allowed again, reversing the changes in 3.2.0. This fixes a problem with Midnight Commander (:issue:`7769`).
- Universal variables should be fully reliable regardless of operating system again (:issue:`7774`).
- ``fish_git_prompt`` no longer causes screen flickering in certain terminals (:issue:`7775`).
- ``fish_add_path`` manipulates the ``fish_user_paths`` variable correctly when moving multiple paths (:issue:`7776`).
- Pasting with a multi-line command no longer causes a ``__fish_tokenizer_state`` error (:issue:`7782`).
- ``psub`` inside event handlers cleans up temporary files properly (:issue:`7792`).
- Event handlers declared with ``--on-job-exit $fish_pid`` no longer run constantly (:issue:`7721`), although these functions should use ``--on-event fish_exit`` instead.
- Changing terminal modes inside ``config.fish`` works (:issue:`7783`).
- ``set_color --print-colors`` no longer prints all colors in bold (:issue:`7805`)
- Completing commands starting with a ``-`` no longer prints an error (:issue:`7809`).
- Running ``fish_command_not_found`` directly no longer produces an error on macOS or other OSes which do not have a handler available (:issue:`7777`).
- The new ``type`` builtin now has the (deprecated) ``--quiet`` long form of ``-q`` (:issue:`7766`).
It also includes some small enhancements:
- ``help`` and ``fish_config`` work correctly when fish is running in a Chrome OS Crostini Linux VM (:issue:`7789`).
- The history file can be made a symbolic link without it being overwritten (:issue:`7754`), matching a similar improvement for the universal variable file in 3.2.0.
- An unhelpful error ("access: No error"), seen on Cygwin, is no longer produced (:issue:`7785`).
- Improvements to the ``rsync`` completions (:issue:`7763`), some completion descriptions (:issue:`7788`), and completions that use IP address (:issue:`7787`).
- Improvements to the appearance of ``fish_config`` (:issue:`7811`).
If you are upgrading from version 3.1.2 or before, please also review
the release notes for 3.2.0 (included below).
pkgsrc changes:
* Stop pretending that share/bash-completion.d is supported, it isn't.
Packages that are installing files there should install them into
share/bash-completion/completions instead.
* Stop installing profile.d script, only really makes sense under /etc,
and it wasn't correctly handled as a configuration file anyway.

fish 3.2.0 (released March 1, 2021)
===================================
Notable improvements and fixes
------------------------------
- **Undo and redo support** for the command-line editor and pager search (:issue:`1367`). By default, undo is bound to Control+Z, and redo to Alt+/.
- **Builtins can now output before all data is read**. For example, ``string replace`` no longer has to read all of stdin before it can begin to output.
This makes it usable also for pipes where the previous command hasn't finished yet, like::
# Show all dmesg lines related to "usb"
dmesg -w | string match '*usb*'
- **Prompts will now be truncated** instead of replaced with ``"> "`` if they are wider than the terminal (:issue:`904`).
For example::
~/dev/build/fish-shell-git/src/fish-shell/build (makepkg)>
will turn into::
…h-shell/build (makepkg)>
It is still possible to react to the ``COLUMNS`` variable inside the prompt to implement smarter behavior.
- **fish completes ambiguous completions** after pressing :kbd:`Tab` even when they
have a common prefix, without the user having to press :kbd:`Tab` again
(:issue:`6924`).
- fish is less aggressive about resetting terminal modes, such as flow control, after every command.
Although flow control remains off by default, enterprising users can now enable it with
``stty`` (:issue:`2315`, :issue:`7704`).
- A new **"fish_add_path" helper function to add paths to $PATH** without producing duplicates,
to be used interactively or in ``config.fish`` (:issue:`6960`, :issue:`7028`).
For example::
fish_add_path /opt/mycoolthing/bin
will add /opt/mycoolthing/bin to the beginning of $fish_user_path without creating duplicates,
so it can be called safely from config.fish or interactively, and the path will just be there, once.
- **Better errors with "test"** (:issue:`6030`)::
> test 1 = 2 and echo true or false
test: Expected a combining operator like '-a' at index 4
1 = 2 and echo true or echo false
^
This includes numbering the index from 1 instead of 0, like fish lists.
- **A new theme for the documentation and Web-based configuration** (:issue:`6500`, :issue:`7371`, :issue:`7523`), matching the design on fishshell.com.
- ``fish --no-execute`` **will no longer complain about unknown commands**
or non-matching wildcards, as these could be defined differently at
runtime (especially for functions). This makes it usable as a static syntax checker (:issue:`977`).
- ``string match --regex`` now integrates **named PCRE2 capture groups as fish variables**, allowing variables to be set directly from ``string match`` (:issue:`7459`). To support this functionality, ``string`` is now a reserved word and can no longer be wrapped in a function.
- Globs and other **expansions are limited to 512,288 results** (:issue:`7226`). Because operating systems limit the number of arguments to commands, larger values are unlikely to work anyway, and this helps to avoid hangs.
- A new **"fish for bash users" documentation page** gives a quick overview of the scripting differences between bash and fish (:issue:`2382`), and the completion tutorial has also been moved out into its own document (:issue:`6709`).
Syntax changes and new commands
-------------------------------
- Range limits in index range expansions like ``$x[$start..$end]`` may be omitted: ``$start`` and ``$end`` default to 1 and -1 (the last item) respectively (:issue:`6574`)::
echo $var[1..]
echo $var[..-1]
echo $var[..]
All print the full list ``$var``.
- When globbing, a segment which is exactly ``**`` may now match zero directories. For example ``**/foo`` may match ``foo`` in the current directory (:issue:`7222`).
Scripting improvements
----------------------
- The ``type``, ``_`` (gettext), ``.`` (source) and ``:`` (no-op) functions
are now implemented builtins for performance purposes (:issue:`7342`, :issue:`7036`, :issue:`6854`).
- ``set`` and backgrounded jobs no longer overwrite ``$pipestatus`` (:issue:`6820`), improving its use in command substitutions (:issue:`6998`).
- Computed ("electric") variables such as ``status`` are now only global in scope, so ``set -Uq status`` returns false (:issue:`7032`).
- The output for ``set --show`` has been shortened, only mentioning the scopes in which a variable exists (:issue:`6944`).
In addition, it now shows if a variable is a path variable.
- A new variable, ``fish_kill_signal``, is set to the signal that terminated the last foreground job, or ``0`` if the job exited normally (:issue:`6824`, :issue:`6822`).
- A new subcommand, ``string pad``, allows extending strings to a given width (:issue:`7340`, :issue:`7102`).
- ``string sub`` has a new ``--end`` option to specify the end index of
a substring (:issue:`6765`, :issue:`5974`).
- ``string split`` has a new ``--fields`` option to specify fields to
output, similar to ``cut -f`` (:issue:`6770`).
- ``string trim`` now also trims vertical tabs by default (:issue:`6795`).
- ``string replace`` no longer prints an error if a capturing group wasn't matched, instead treating it as empty (:issue:`7343`).
- ``string`` subcommands now quit early when used with ``--quiet`` (:issue:`7495`).
- ``string repeat`` now handles multiple arguments, repeating each one (:issue:`5988`).
- ``printf`` no longer prints an error if not given an argument (not
even a format string).
- The ``true`` and ``false`` builtins ignore any arguments, like other shells (:issue:`7030`).
- ``fish_indent`` now removes unnecessary quotes in simple cases (:issue:`6722`)
and gained a ``--check`` option to just check if a file is indented correctly (:issue:`7251`).
- ``fish_indent`` indents continuation lines that follow a line ending in a backslash, ``|``, ``&&`` or ``||``.
- ``pushd`` only adds a directory to the stack if changing to it was successful (:issue:`6947`).
- A new ``fish_job_summary`` function is called whenever a
background job stops or ends, or any job terminates from a signal (:issue:`6959`, :issue:`2727`, :issue:`4319`).
The default behaviour can now be customized by redefining it.
- ``status`` gained new ``dirname`` and ``basename`` convenience subcommands
to get just the directory to the running script or the name of it,
to simplify common tasks such as running ``(dirname (status filename))`` (:issue:`7076`, :issue:`1818`).
- Broken pipelines are now handled more smoothly; in particular, bad redirection mid-pipeline
results in the job continuing to run but with the broken file descriptor replaced with a closed
file descriptor. This allows better error recovery and is more in line with other shells'
behaviour (:issue:`7038`).
- ``jobs --quiet PID`` no longer prints "no suitable job" if the job for PID does not exist (eg because it has finished) (:issue:`6809`, :issue:`6812`).
- ``jobs`` now shows continued child processes correctly (:issue:`6818`)
- ``disown`` should no longer create zombie processes when job control is off, such as in ``config.fish`` (:issue:`7183`).
- ``command``, ``jobs`` and ``type`` builtins support ``--query`` as the long form of ``-q``, matching other builtins.
The long form ``--quiet`` is deprecated (:issue:`7276`).
- ``argparse`` no longer requires a short flag letter for long-only options (:issue:`7585`)
and only prints a backtrace with invalid options to argparse itself (:issue:`6703`).
- ``argparse`` now passes the validation variables (e.g. ``$_flag_value``) as local-exported variables,
avoiding the need for ``--no-scope-shadowing`` in validation functions.
- ``complete`` takes the first argument as the name of the command if the ``--command``/``-c`` option is not used,
so ``complete git`` is treated like ``complete --command git``,
and it can show the loaded completions for specific commands with ``complete COMMANDNAME`` (:issue:`7321`).
- ``set_color -b`` (without an argument) no longer prints an error message, matching other invalid invocations of this command (:issue:`7154`).
- ``exec`` no longer produces a syntax error when the command cannot be found (:issue:`6098`).
- ``set --erase`` and ``abbr --erase`` can now erase multiple things in one go, matching ``functions --erase`` (:issue:`7377`).
- ``abbr --erase`` no longer prints errors when used with no arguments or on an unset abbreviation (:issue:`7376`, :issue:`7732`).
- ``test -t``, for testing whether file descriptors are connected to a terminal, works for file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 (:issue:`4766`).
It can still return incorrect results in other cases (:issue:`1228`).
- Trying to execute scripts with Windows line endings (CRLF) produces a sensible error (:issue:`2783`).
- Trying to execute commands with arguments that exceed the operating system limit now produces a specific error (:issue:`6800`).
- An ``alias`` that delegates to a command with the same name no longer triggers an error about recursive completion (:issue:`7389`).
- ``math`` now has a ``--base`` option to output the result in hexadecimal or octal (:issue:`7496`) and produces more specific error messages (:issue:`7508`).
- ``math`` learned bitwise functions ``bitand``, ``bitor`` and ``bitxor``, used like ``math "bitand(0xFE, 5)"`` (:issue:`7281`).
- ``math`` learned tau for those who don't like typing "2 * pi".
- Failed redirections will now set ``$status`` (:issue:`7540`).
- fish sets exit status in a more consistent manner after errors, including invalid expansions like ``$foo[``.
- Using ``read --silent`` while fish is in private mode was adding these potentially-sensitive entries to the history; this has been fixed (:issue:`7230`).
- ``read`` can now read interactively from other files, and can be used to read from the terminal via ``read </dev/tty`` (if the operating system provides ``/dev/tty``) (:issue:`7358`).
- A new ``fish_status_to_signal`` function for transforming exit statuses to signal names has been added (:issue:`7597`, :issue:`7595`).
- The fallback ``realpath`` builtin supports the ``-s``/``--no-symlinks`` option, like GNU realpath (:issue:`7574`).
- ``functions`` and ``type`` now explain when a function was defined via ``source`` instead of just saying ``Defined in -``.
- Significant performance improvements when globbing, appending to variables or in ``math``.
- ``echo`` no longer interprets options at the beginning of an argument (eg ``echo "-n foo"``) (:issue:`7614`).
- fish now finds user configuration even if the ``HOME`` environment variable is not set (:issue:`7620`).
- fish no longer crashes when started from a Windows-style working directory (eg ``F:\path``) (:issue:`7636`).
- ``fish -c`` now reads the remaining arguments into ``$argv`` (:issue:`2314`).
- The ``pwd`` command supports the long options ``--logical`` and ``--physical``, matching other implementations (:issue:`6787`).
- ``fish --profile`` now only starts profiling after fish is ready to execute commands (all configuration is completed). There is a new ``--profile-startup`` option that only profiles the startup and configuration process (:issue:`7648`).
- Builtins return a maximum exit status of 255, rather than potentially overflowing. In particular, this affects ``exit``, ``return``, ``functions --query``, and ``set --query`` (:issue:`7698`, :issue:`7702`).
- It is no longer an error to run builtin with closed stdin. For example ``count <&-`` now prints 0, instead of failing.
- Blocks, functions, and builtins no longer permit redirecting to file descriptors other than 0 (standard input), 1 (standard output) and 2 (standard error). For example, ``echo hello >&5`` is now an error. This prevents corruption of internal state (#3303).
Interactive improvements
------------------------
- fish will now always attempt to become process group leader in interactive mode (:issue:`7060`). This helps avoid hangs in certain circumstances, and allows tmux's current directory introspection to work (:issue:`5699`).
- The interactive reader now allows ending a line in a logical operators (``&&`` and ``||``) instead of complaining about a missing command. (This was already syntactically valid, but interactive sessions didn't know about it yet).
- The prompt is reprinted after a background job exits (:issue:`1018`).
- fish no longer inserts a space after a completion ending in ``.``, ``,`` or ``-`` is accepted, improving completions for tools that provide dynamic completions (:issue:`6928`).
- If a filename is invalid when first pressing :kbd:`Tab`, but becomes valid, it will be completed properly on the next attempt (:issue:`6863`).
- ``help string match/replace/<subcommand>`` will show the help for string subcommands (:issue:`6786`).
- ``fish_key_reader`` sets the exit status to 0 when used with ``--help`` or ``--version`` (:issue:`6964`).
- ``fish_key_reader`` and ``fish_indent`` send output from ``--version`` to standard output, matching other fish binaries (:issue:`6964`).
- A new variable ``$status_generation`` is incremented only when the previous command produces an exit status (:issue:`6815`). This can be used, for example, to check whether a failure status is a holdover due to a background job, or actually produced by the last run command.
- ``fish_greeting`` is now a function that reads a variable of the same name, and defaults to setting it globally.
This removes a universal variable by default and helps with updating the greeting.
However, to disable the greeting it is now necessary to explicitly specify universal scope (``set -U fish_greeting``) or to disable it in config.fish (:issue:`7265`).
- Events are properly emitted after a job is cancelled (:issue:`2356`).
- ``fish_preexec`` and ``fish_postexec`` events are no longer triggered for empty commands (:issue:`4829`, :issue:`7085`).
- Functions triggered by the ``fish_exit`` event are correctly run when the terminal is closed or the shell receives SIGHUP (:issue:`7014`).
- The ``fish_prompt`` event no longer fires when ``read`` is used. If
you need a function to run any time ``read`` is invoked by a script,
use the new ``fish_read`` event instead (:issue:`7039`).
- A new ``fish_posterror`` event is emitted when attempting to execute a command with syntax errors (:issue:`6880`, :issue:`6816`).
- The debugging system has now fully switched from the old numbered level to the new named category system introduced in 3.1. A number of new debugging categories have been added, including ``config``, ``path``, ``reader`` and ``screen`` (:issue:`6511`). See the output of ``fish --print-debug-categories`` for the full list.
- The warning about read-only filesystems has been moved to a new "warning-path" debug category
and can be disabled by setting a debug category of ``-warning-path`` (:issue:`6630`)::
fish --debug=-warning-path
- The enabled debug categories are now printed on shell startup (:issue:`7007`).
- The ``-o`` short option to fish, for ``--debug-output``, works correctly instead of producing an
invalid option error (:issue:`7254`).
- fish's debugging can now also be enabled via ``FISH_DEBUG`` and ``FISH_DEBUG_OUTPUT`` environment variables.
This helps with debugging when no commandline options can be passed, like when fish is called in a shebang (:issue:`7359`).
- Abbreviations are now expanded after all command terminators (eg ``;`` or ``|``), not just space,
as in fish 2.7.1 and before (:issue:`6970`), and after closing a command substitution (:issue:`6658`).
- The history file is now created with user-private permissions,
matching other shells (:issue:`6926`). The directory containing the history
file was already private, so there should not have been any private data
revealed.
- The output of ``time`` is now properly aligned in all cases (:issue:`6726`, :issue:`6714`) and no longer depends on locale (:issue:`6757`).
- The command-not-found handling has been simplified.
When it can't find a command, fish now just executes a function called ``fish_command_not_found``
instead of firing an event, making it easier to replace and reason about.
Previously-defined ``__fish_command_not_found_handler`` functions with an appropriate event listener will still work (:issue:`7293`).
- :kbd:`Control-C` handling has been reimplemented in C++ and is therefore quicker (:issue:`5259`), no longer occasionally prints an "unknown command" error (:issue:`7145`) or overwrites multiline prompts (:issue:`3537`).
- :kbd:`Control-C` no longer kills background jobs for which job control is
disabled, matching POSIX semantics (:issue:`6828`, :issue:`6861`).
- Autosuggestions work properly after :kbd:`Control-C` cancels the current commmand line (:issue:`6937`).
- History search is now case-insensitive unless the search string contains an uppercase character (:issue:`7273`).
- ``fish_update_completions`` gained a new ``--keep`` option, which improves speed by skipping completions that already exist (:issue:`6775`, :issue:`6796`).
- Aliases containing an embedded backslash appear properly in the output of ``alias`` (:issue:`6910`).
- ``open`` no longer hangs indefinitely on certain systems, as a bug in ``xdg-open`` has been worked around (:issue:`7215`).
- Long command lines no longer add a blank line after execution (:issue:`6826`) and behave better with :kbd:`Backspace` (:issue:`6951`).
- ``functions -t`` works like the long option ``--handlers-type``, as documented, instead of producing an error (:issue:`6985`).
- History search now flashes when it found no more results (:issue:`7362`)
- fish now creates the path in the environment variable ``XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` if it does not exist, before using it for runtime data storage (:issue:`7335`).
- ``set_color --print-colors`` now also respects the bold, dim, underline, reverse, italic and background modifiers, to better show their effect (:issue:`7314`).
- The fish Web configuration tool (``fish_config``) shows prompts correctly on Termux for Android (:issue:`7298`) and detects Windows Services for Linux 2 properly (:issue:`7027`). It no longer shows the ``history`` variable as it may be too large (one can use the History tab instead). It also starts the browser in another thread, avoiding hangs in some circumstances, especially with Firefox's Developer Edition (:issue:`7158`). Finally, a bug in the Source Code Pro font may cause browsers to hang, so this font is no longer chosen by default (:issue:`7714`).
- ``funcsave`` gained a new ``--directory`` option to specify the location of the saved function (:issue:`7041`).
- ``help`` works properly on MSYS2 (:issue:`7113`) and only uses ``cmd.exe`` if running on WSL (:issue:`6797`).
- Resuming a piped job by its number, like ``fg %1``, works correctly (:issue:`7406`). Resumed jobs show the correct title in the terminal emulator (:issue:`7444`).
- Commands run from key bindings now use the same TTY modes as normal commands (:issue:`7483`).
- Autosuggestions from history are now case-sensitive (:issue:`3978`).
- ``$status`` from completion scripts is no longer passed outside the completion, which keeps the status display in the prompt as the last command's status (:issue:`7555`).
- Updated localisations for pt_BR (:issue:`7480`).
- ``fish_trace`` output now starts with ``->`` (like ``fish --profile``), making the depth more visible (:issue:`7538`).
- Resizing the terminal window no longer produces a corrupted prompt (:issue:`6532`, :issue:`7404`).
- ``functions`` produces an error rather than crashing on certain invalid arguments (:issue:`7515`).
- A crash in completions with inline variable assignment (eg ``A= b``) has been fixed (:issue:`7344`).
- ``fish_private_mode`` may now be changed dynamically using ``set`` (:issue:`7589`), and history is kept in memory in private mode (but not stored permanently) (:issue:`7590`).
- Commands with leading spaces may be retrieved from history with up-arrow until a new command is run, matching zsh's ``HIST_IGNORE_SPACE`` (:issue:`1383`).
- Importing bash history or reporting errors with recursive globs (``**``) no longer hangs (:issue:`7407`, :issue:`7497`).
- ``bind`` now shows ``\x7f`` for the del key instead of a literal DEL character (:issue:`7631`)
- Paths containing variables or tilde expansion are only suggested when they are still valid (:issue:`7582`).
- Syntax highlighting can now color a command as invalid even if executed quickly (:issue:`5912`).
- Redirection targets are no longer highlighted as error if they contain variables which will likely be defined by the current commandline (:issue:`6654`).
- fish is now more resilient against broken terminal modes (:issue:`7133`, :issue:`4873`).
- fish handles being in control of the TTY without owning its own process group better, avoiding some hangs in special configurations (:issue:`7388`).
- Keywords can now be colored differently by setting the ``fish_color_keyword`` variable (``fish_color_command`` is used as a fallback) (:issue:`7678`).
- Just like ``fish_indent``, the interactive reader will indent continuation lines that follow a line ending in a backslash, ``|``, ``&&`` or ``||`` (:issue:`7694`).
- Commands with a trailing escaped space are saved in history correctly (:issue:`7661`).
- ``fish_prompt`` no longer mangles Unicode characters in the private-use range U+F600-U+F700. (:issue:`7723`).
- The universal variable file, ``fish_variables``, can be made a symbolic link without it being overwritten (:issue:`7466`).
- fish is now more resilient against ``mktemp`` failing (:issue:`7482`).
New or improved bindings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- As mentioned above, new special input functions ``undo`` (:kbd:`Control+\_` or :kbd:`Control+Z`) and ``redo`` (:kbd:`Alt-/`) can be used to revert changes to the command line or the pager search field (:issue:`6570`).
- :kbd:`Control-Z` is now available for binding (:issue:`7152`).
- Additionally, using the ``cancel`` special input function (bound to :kbd:`Escape` by default) right after fish picked an unambiguous completion will undo that (:issue:`7433`).
- ``fish_clipboard_paste`` (:kbd:`Control+V`) trims indentation from multiline commands, because fish already indents (:issue:`7662`).
- Vi mode bindings now support ``dh``, ``dl``, ``c0``, ``cf``, ``ct``, ``cF``, ``cT``, ``ch``, ``cl``, ``y0``, ``ci``, ``ca``, ``yi``, ``ya``, ``di``, ``da``, ``d;``, ``d,``, ``o``, ``O`` and Control+left/right keys to navigate by word (:issue:`6648`, :issue:`6755`, :issue:`6769`, :issue:`7442`, :issue:`7516`).
- Vi mode bindings support :kbd:`~` (tilde) to toggle the case of the selected character (:issue:`6908`).
- Functions ``up-or-search`` and ``down-or-search`` (:kbd:`Up` and :kbd:`Down`) can cross empty lines, and don't activate search mode if the search fails, which makes them easier to use to move between lines in some situations.
- If history search fails to find a match, the cursor is no longer moved. This is useful when accidentally starting a history search on a multi-line commandline.
- The special input function ``beginning-of-history`` (:kbd:`Page Up`) now moves to the oldest search instead of the youngest - that's ``end-of-history`` (:kbd:`Page Down`).
- A new special input function ``forward-single-char`` moves one character to the right, and if an autosuggestion is available, only take a single character from it (:issue:`7217`, :issue:`4984`).
- Special input functions can now be joined with ``or`` as a modifier (adding to ``and``), though only some commands set an exit status (:issue:`7217`). This includes ``suppress-autosuggestion`` to reflect whether an autosuggestion was suppressed (:issue:`1419`)
- A new function ``__fish_preview_current_file``, bound to :kbd:`Alt+O`, opens the
current file at the cursor in a pager (:issue:`6838`, :issue:`6855`).
- ``edit_command_buffer`` (:kbd:`Alt-E` and :kbd:`Alt-V`) passes the cursor position
to the external editor if the editor is recognized (:issue:`6138`, :issue:`6954`).
- ``__fish_prepend_sudo`` (:kbd:`Alt-S`) now toggles a ``sudo`` prefix (:issue:`7012`) and avoids shifting the cursor (:issue:`6542`).
- ``__fish_prepend_sudo`` (:kbd:`Alt-S`) now uses the previous commandline if the current one is empty,
to simplify rerunning the previous command with ``sudo`` (:issue:`7079`).
- ``__fish_toggle_comment_commandline`` (:kbd:`Alt-#`) now uncomments and presents the last comment
from history if the commandline is empty (:issue:`7137`).
- ``__fish_whatis_current_token`` (:kbd:`Alt-W`) prints descriptions for functions and builtins (:issue:`7191`, :issue:`2083`).
- The definition of "word" and "bigword" for movements was refined, fixing (eg) vi mode's behavior with :kbd:`e` on the second-to-last char, and bigword's behavior with single-character words and non-blank non-graphical characters (:issue:`7353`, :issue:`7354`, :issue:`4025`, :issue:`7328`, :issue:`7325`)
- fish's clipboard bindings now also support Windows Subsystem for Linux via PowerShell and clip.exe (:issue:`7455`, :issue:`7458`) and will properly copy newlines in multi-line commands.
- Using the ``*-jump`` special input functions before typing anything else no longer crashes fish.
- Completing variable overrides (``foo=bar``) could replace the entire thing with just the completion in some circumstances. This has been fixed (:issue:`7398`).
Improved prompts
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The default and example prompts print the correct exit status for
commands prefixed with ``not`` (:issue:`6566`).
- git prompts include all untracked files in the repository, not just those in the current
directory (:issue:`6086`).
- The git prompts correctly show stash states (:issue:`6876`, :issue:`7136`) and clean states (:issue:`7471`).
- The Mercurial prompt correctly shows untracked status (:issue:`6906`), and by default only shows the branch for performance reasons.
A new variable ``$fish_prompt_hg_show_informative_status`` can be set to enable more information.
- The ``fish_vcs_prompt`` passes its arguments to the various VCS prompts that it calls (:issue:`7033`).
- The Subversion prompt was broken in a number of ways in 3.1.0 and has been restored (:issue:`6715`, :issue:`7278`).
- A new helper function ``fish_is_root_user`` simplifies checking for superuser privilege (:issue:`7031`, :issue:`7123`).
- New colorschemes - ``ayu Light``, ``ayu Dark`` and ``ayu Mirage`` (:issue:`7596`).
- Bugs related to multiline prompts, including repainting (:issue:`5860`) or navigating directory history (:issue:`3550`) leading to graphical glitches have been fixed.
- The ``nim`` prompt now handles vi mode better (:issue:`6802`)
Improved terminal support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- A new variable, ``fish_vi_force_cursor``, can be set to force ``fish_vi_cursor`` to attempt changing the cursor
shape in vi mode, regardless of terminal (:issue:`6968`). The ``fish_vi_cursor`` option ``--force-iterm`` has been deprecated.
- ``diff`` will now colourize output, if supported (:issue:`7308`).
- Autosuggestions appear when the cursor passes the right prompt (:issue:`6948`) or wraps to the next line (:issue:`7213`).
- The cursor shape in Vi mode changes properly in Windows Terminal (:issue:`6999`, :issue:`6478`).
- The spurious warning about terminal size in small terminals has been removed (:issue:`6980`).
- Dynamic titles are now enabled in Alacritty (:issue:`7073`) and emacs' vterm (:issue:`7122`).
- Current working directory updates are enabled in foot (:issue:`7099`) and WezTerm (:issue:`7649`).
- The width computation for certain emoji agrees better with terminals (especially flags). (:issue:`7237`).
- Long command lines are wrapped in all cases, instead of sometimes being put on a new line (:issue:`5118`).
- The pager is properly rendered with long command lines selected (:issue:`2557`).
- Sessions with right prompts can be resized correctly in terminals that handle reflow, like GNOME Terminal (and other VTE-based terminals), upcoming Konsole releases and Alacritty. This detection can be overridden with the new ``fish_handle_reflow`` variable (:issue:`7491`).
- fish now sets terminal modes sooner, which stops output from appearing before the greeting and prompt are ready (:issue:`7489`).
- Better detection of new Konsole versions for true color support and cursor shape changing.
- fish no longer attempts to modify the terminal size via ``TIOCSWINSZ``, improving compatibility with Kitty (:issue:`6994`).
Completions
^^^^^^^^^^^
- Added completions for
- ``7z``, ``7za`` and ``7zr`` (:issue:`7220`)
- ``alias`` (:issue:`7035`)
- ``alternatives`` (:issue:`7616`)
- ``apk`` (:issue:`7108`)

- Lots of improvements to completions, including:
- ``git`` completions can complete the right and left parts of a commit range like ``from..to`` or ``left...right``.
- Completion scripts for custom Git subcommands like ``git-xyz`` are now loaded with Git completions. The completions can now be defined directly on the subcommand (using ``complete git-xyz``), and completion for ``git xyz`` will work. (:issue:`7075`, :issue:`7652`, :issue:`4358`)
- ``make`` completions no longer second-guess make's file detection, fixing target completion in some cases (:issue:`7535`).
- Command completions now correctly print the description even if the command was fully matched (like in ``ls<TAB>``).
- ``set`` completions no longer hide variables starting with ``__``, they are sorted last instead.
- Improvements to the manual page completion generator (:issue:`7086`, :issue:`6879`, :issue:`7187`).
- Significant performance improvements to completion of the available commands (:issue:`7153`), especially on macOS Big Sur where there was a significant regression (:issue:`7365`, :issue:`7511`).
- Suffix completion using ``__fish_complete_suffix`` uses the same fuzzy matching logic as normal file completion, and completes any file but sorts files with matching suffix first (:issue:`7040`, :issue:`7547`). Previously, it only completed files with matching suffix.
For distributors
----------------
- fish has a new interactive test driver based on pexpect, removing the optional dependency on expect (and adding an optional dependency on pexpect) (:issue:`5451`, :issue:`6825`).
- The CHANGELOG was moved to restructured text, allowing it to be included in the documentation (:issue:`7057`).
- fish handles ncurses installed in a non-standard prefix better (:issue:`6600`, :issue:`7219`), and uses variadic tparm on NetBSD curses (:issue:`6626`).
- The Web-based configuration tool no longer uses an obsolete Angular version (:issue:`7147`).
- The fish project has adopted the Contributor Covenant code of conduct (:issue:`7151`).
Deprecations and removed features
---------------------------------
- The ``fish_color_match`` variable is no longer used. (Previously this controlled the color of matching quotes and parens when using ``read``).
- fish 3.2.0 will be the last release in which the redirection to standard error with the ``^`` character is enabled.
The ``stderr-nocaret`` feature flag will be changed to "on" in future releases.
- ``string`` is now a reserved word and cannot be used for function names (see above).
- ``fish_vi_cursor``'s option ``--force-iterm`` has been deprecated (see above).
- ``command``, ``jobs`` and ``type`` long-form option ``--quiet`` is deprecated in favor of ``--query`` (see above).
- The ``fish_command_not_found`` event is no longer emitted, instead there is a function of that name.
By default it will call a previously-defined ``__fish_command_not_found_handler``. To emit the event manually use ``emit fish_command_not_found``.
- The ``fish_prompt`` event no longer fires when ``read`` is used. If
you need a function to run any time ``read`` is invoked by a script,
use the new ``fish_read`` event instead (:issue:`7039`).
- To disable the greeting message permanently it is no longer enough to just run ``set fish_greeting`` interactively as it is
no longer implicitly a universal variable. Use ``set -U fish_greeting`` or disable it in config.fish with ``set -g fish_greeting``.
- The long-deprecated and non-functional ``-m``/``--read-mode`` options to ``read`` were removed in 3.1b1. Using the short form, or a never-implemented ``-B`` option, no longer crashes fish (:issue:`7659`).
- With the addition of new categories for debug options, the old numbered debugging levels have been removed.
For distributors and developers
-------------------------------
- fish source tarballs are now distributed using the XZ compression
method (:issue:`5460`).
- The fish source tarball contains an example FreeDesktop entry and icon.
- The CMake variable ``MAC_CODESIGN_ID`` can now be set to "off" to disable code-signing (:issue:`6952`, :issue:`6792`).
- Building on on macOS earlier than 10.13.6 succeeds, instead of failing on code-signing (:issue:`6791`).
- The pkg-config file now uses variables to ensure paths used are portable across prefixes.
- The default values for the ``extra_completionsdir``, ``extra_functionsdir``
and ``extra_confdir`` options now use the installation prefix rather than ``/usr/local`` (:issue:`6778`).
- A new CMake variable ``FISH_USE_SYSTEM_PCRE2`` controls whether fish
builds with the system-installed PCRE2, or the version it bundles. By
default it prefers the system library if available, unless Mac
codesigning is enabled (:issue:`6952`).
- Running the full interactive test suite now requires Python 3.5+ and the pexpect package (:issue:`6825`); the expect package is no longer required.
- Support for Python 2 in fish's tools (``fish_config`` and the manual page completion generator) is no longer guaranteed. Please use Python 3.5 or later (:issue:`6537`).
- The Web-based configuration tool is compatible with Python 3.10 (:issue:`7600`) and no longer requires Python's distutils package (:issue:`7514`).
- fish 3.2 is the last release to support Red Hat Enterprise Linux & CentOS version 6.
--------------
That is, 5.1 with the four post-release patches available so far.
This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-5.1 since
the release of bash-5.0. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
the place to look for complete descriptions.
1. New Features in Bash
a. `bind -x' now supports different bindings for different editing modes and
keymaps.
b. Bash attempts to optimize the number of times it forks when executing
commands in subshells and from `bash -c'.
c. Here documents and here strings now use pipes for the expanded document if
it's smaller than the pipe buffer size, reverting to temporary files if it's
larger.
d. There are new loadable builtins: mktemp, accept, mkfifo, csv, cut/lcut
e. In posix mode, `trap -p' now displays signals whose disposition is SIG_DFL
and those that were SIG_IGN when the shell starts.
f. The shell now expands the history number (e.g., in PS1) even if it is not
currently saving commands to the history list.
g. `read -e' may now be used with arbitrary file descriptors (`read -u N').
h. The `select' builtin now runs traps if its internal call to the read builtin
is interrupted by a signal.
i. SRANDOM: a new variable that expands to a 32-bit random number that is not
produced by an LCRNG, and uses getrandom/getentropy, falling back to
/dev/urandom or arc4random if available. There is a fallback generator if
none of these are available.
j. shell-transpose-words: a new bindable readline command that uses the same
definition of word as shell-forward-word, etc.
k. The shell now adds default bindings for shell-forward-word,
shell-backward-word, shell-transpose-words, and shell-kill-word.
l. Bash now allows ARGV0 appearing in the initial shell environment to set $0.
m. If `unset' is executed without option arguments, bash tries to unset a shell
function if a name argument cannot be a shell variable name because it's not
an identifier.
n. The `test -N' operator uses nanosecond timestamp granularity if it's
available.
o. Bash posix mode now treats assignment statements preceding shell function
definitions the same as in its default mode, since POSIX has changed and
no longer requires those assignments to persist after the function returns
(POSIX interp 654).
p. BASH_REMATCH is no longer readonly.
q. wait: has a new -p VARNAME option, which stores the PID returned by `wait -n'
or `wait' without arguments.
r. Sorting the results of pathname expansion now uses byte-by-byte comparisons
if two strings collate equally to impose a total order; the result of a
POSIX interpretation.
s. Bash now allows SIGINT trap handlers to execute recursively.
t. Bash now saves and restores state around setting and unsetting posix mode,
instead of having unsetting posix mode set a known state.
u. Process substitution is now available in posix mode.
v. READLINE_MARK: a new variable available while executing commands bound with
`bind -x', contains the value of the mark.
w. Bash removes SIGCHLD from the set of blocked signals if it's blocked at shell
startup.
x. `test -v N' can now test whether or not positional parameter N is set.
y. `local' now honors the `-p' option to display all local variables at the
current context.
z. The `@a' variable transformation now prints attributes for unset array
variables.
aa. The `@A' variable transformation now prints a declare command that sets a
variable's attributes if the variable has attributes but is unset.
bb. `declare' and `local' now have a -I option that inherits attributes and
value from a variable with the same name at a previous scope.
cc. When run from a -c command, `jobs' now reports the status of completed jobs.
dd. New `U', `u', and `L' parameter transformations to convert to uppercase,
convert first character to uppercase, and convert to lowercase,
respectively.
ee. PROMPT_COMMAND: can now be an array variable, each element of which can
contain a command to be executed like a string PROMPT_COMMAND variable.
ff. `ulimit' has a -R option to report and set the RLIMIT_RTTIME resource.
gg. Associative arrays may be assigned using a list of key-value pairs within
a compound assignment. Compound assignments where the words are not of
the form [key]=value are assumed to be key-value assignments. A missing or
empty key is an error; a missing value is treated as NULL. Assignments may
not mix the two forms.
hh. New `K' parameter transformation to display associative arrays as key-
value pairs.
ii. Writing history to syslog now handles messages longer than the syslog max
length by writing multiple messages with a sequence number.
jj. SECONDS and RANDOM may now be assigned using arithmetic expressions, since
they are nominally integer variables. LINENO is not an integer variable.
kk. Bash temporarily suppresses the verbose option when running the DEBUG trap
while running a command from the `fc' builtin.
ll. `wait -n' now accepts a list of job specifications as arguments and will
wait for the first one in the list to change state.
mm. The associative array implementation can now dynamically increase the
size of the hash table based on insertion patterns.
nn. HISTFILE is now readonly in a restricted shell.
oo. The bash malloc now returns memory that is 16-byte aligned on 64-bit
systems.
pp. If the hash builtin is listing hashed filenames portably, don't print
anything if the table is empty.
qq. GLOBIGNORE now ignores `.' and `..' as a terminal pathname component.
rr. Bash attempts to optimize away forks in the last command in a function body
under appropriate circumstances.
ss. The globbing code now uses fnmatch(3) to check collation elements (if
available) even in cases without multibyte characters.
tt. The `fg' and `bg' builtins now return an error in a command substitution
when asked to restart a job inherited from the parent shell.
uu. The shell now attempts to unlink all FIFOs on exit, whether a consuming
process has finished with them or not.
vv. There is a new contributed loadable builtin: asort.
2. New Features in Readline
a. If a second consecutive completion attempt produces matches where the first
did not, treat it as a new completion attempt and insert a match as
appropriate.
b. Bracketed paste mode works in more places: incremental search strings, vi
overstrike mode, character search, and reading numeric arguments.
c. Readline automatically switches to horizontal scrolling if the terminal has
only one line.
d. Unbinding all key sequences bound to a particular readline function now
descends into keymaps for multi-key sequences.
e. rl-clear-display: new bindable command that clears the screen and, if
possible, the scrollback buffer (bound to emacs mode M-C-l by default).
f. New active mark and face feature: when enabled, it will highlight the text
inserted by a bracketed paste (the `active region') and the text found by
incremental and non-incremental history searches. This is tied to bracketed
paste and can be disabled by turning off bracketed paste.
g. Readline sets the mark in several additional commands.
h. Bracketed paste mode is enabled by default.
i. Readline tries to take advantage of the more regular structure of UTF-8
characters to identify the beginning and end of characters when moving
through the line buffer.
j. The bindable operate-and-get-next command (and its default bindings) are
now part of readline instead of a bash-specific addition.
k. The signal cleanup code now blocks SIGINT while processing after a SIGINT.
- Fix build on musl-libc platforms (#49)
- Default CFLAGS of -g -O2 if user didn't specify any
- Fix a bug on Linux systems (#48)
- Add an OKSH_VERSION variable that gives the user the oksh version
(KSH_VERSION and SH_VERSION are still their original values)
- Default to ST_MTIM when using --no-thanks
- Allow some code to be commented out when not compiling with curses
Changelog from AN-2020-11-04:
- Makefile system: include/schily/nlsdefs.h no longer by default defines
the macro __() because this is in conflict with definitions that are
present in the system include files from newer HP-UX versions.
Thanks to Rudi Blom for reporting.
- Bourne Shell: If a background job did finish during an implicit wait
for a foreground job, the exit code for the background job was lost.
This was caused by a forgotten call to statjob(jp, &si, 0, 0) in
the function waitjob();
Thanks to Koichi Nakashima for reporting.
- Bourne Shell: The changes from 2020-10-09 to keep the exit code from
jobs like "(sleep 10; exit 17)&" in the job list, caused a command like
cat /etc/termcap |more
to stop after the first page of output because "more" died from trying
to read the answer for continuing the output as it was not in the
current foreground process group from the tty. This was the result of
a forgotten call to monitor = ismonitor(xflags); in xec.c
- Bourne Shell: The changes from 2020-10-09 to keep the exit code from
jobs like "(sleep 10; exit 17)&" could cause some wait commands to hang
infinitely because the job list had an endless loop. The new code
avoids to create the endless loop in the job list.
Thanks to Koichi Nakashima for reporting.
- Bourne Shell: The changes for jobcontrol in schily-2020-10-09 could.
cause bosh to dump core with the builtin fg(1) command because "thisjob".
was a NULL pointer.
We add a new lastthisjob variable to work around this problem.
Thanks for Noci Sonack for reporting.
- bsh/Bourne Shell: str2sig() has been enhanced to support e.g.
RTMIN+20 or RTMAX-20 as alias on platforms with 30 RT signals.
Note that this currently only works on non-POSIX platforms like Linux
where our private implementation is used. On Solaris, this would need
to wait until compatibility to POSIX issue 8 has been implemented
in the libc from Solaris.
Changelog from AN-2020-11-25:
- Makefile System: Added support for MacOS on arm64
Thanks to a hint from Ryan Schmidt from macports
Note that due to outstanding replies to recent changes in configure,
it could up to now not be verified that all configure tests now work in
a way that results in correct overall results. See below for an in
depth report on the changes.
- Makefile System: autoconf (config.guess & config.sub) now supports
the new arm64 Apple systems.
Thanks to Ryan Schmidt from macports for provinding the needed uname(1)
output.
- Makefile System: Added a new shell script "autoconf/uname" that helps
to create shell scrips that allow to emulate an alien host system in
order to test the correct behavior of configure.guess and configure.sub
on the main development platform.
This helps to adapt configure.guess and configure.sub to new platforms
in the future.
- Makefile System: The new clang compiler as published with the upcomming
ARM macs has been preconfigured with
-Werror -Wimplicit-function-declaration
as the default behavior and thus is in conflict with the existing base
assumption of the autoconf system that minimalistic C-code used for
compile/link allows to check for the existence of a specific function
in libc without a need to know which system #include file is used to
define a prototype for that function.
This clang version, as a result of this default, behaves like a C++
compiler and aborts if a function is used with no previous function
prototype. This caused most of the existing autoconf test to fail with
error messages about missing prototypes.
We implemented a workaround using these methods for the identified
problems:
- Most of the exit() calls in the various main() functions have
been replaced by return() to avoid a need to
#include <stdlib.h> in special since these test may be the
case for layered tests that #include files from the higher
level parts.
- Many autoconf tests programs now #include more system include
files, e.g. stdlib.h and unistd.h to avoid missing prototype
errors. This cannot reliably be done in tests that are used as
a base for higher level tests where the high level test
#includes own system include files, since older platforms do
not support to #include the same file twice.
So this is tricky...
- A test for a Linux glibc bug caused by incorect #pragma weak
usage inside glibc that prevents one or more functions from
ecvt()/fcvt()/gcvt() from being usable outside glibc now uses
hand-written prototypes for some of the libc interface
functions in order to avoid using the system includes. If we
did not do that, we could not use ecvt()/fcvt()/gcvt() on
MacOS anymore.
Thanks to Ryan Schmidt from macports for reporting and for the given
help that was needed for remote debugging.
Please send the needed feedback on whether the current state of the
configure script results on correct autoconf results on the M1 Macs.

- Solaris has a function named sig2str. Rename ours oksh_sig2str.
- Pull in latest upstream code, which is #43 from Michael Forney.
- Make BINDIR and MANDIR actually depend on PREFIX.
- Variables have $'s.
- Older Linux has clock_gettime in librt; check for that.
- configure: improve clock_gettime diagnostic messages.
- HP-UX support.
- Add --enable-lto for those who want link-time optimization.
- Update to latest OpenBSD code.
- Make cross compiling a real possibility, with instructions.
- Fix typo.
- For loop initial declarations is a better C99 check for older gcc.
- Update from OpenBSD.
- Separate out compilation and linking in configure tests.
- Only add -std=gnu99 if using --no-thanks.
- If using --no-thanks and you didn't specify the environment
- --no-thanks isn't just for cross compiling
- Default to ST_MTIM when using --no-thanks
New features with AN-2020-09-04:
- autoconf: congig.guess: FreeBSD on 64 bit ARM returns arm64 from
uname -m; this was previously not supported and rejected by config.sub.
We now convert "arm64" into "aarch64" in config.guess to get the usual
expected results.
- Makefile system: RULES/rules.env The environment variables FIGNORE,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 and LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 are now
unexported from the enviroment.
In special FIGNORE is dangerous, as it is frequently used by bash
users but tells ksh93 to modify it's behavior with "echo *" and
this may cause strange things with our makefiles in case that
/bin/sh is ksh92. This applies e.g. to Oracle Solaris 11 and
OpenSolaris.
- Bourne Shell: added $(RM) -f $(DEST_DIR)$(INSBASE)/xpg4/bin/bosh
to the Makefile in the commands before creating the symlink
xpg4/bin/bosh to bosh to permit to call "make install" more than
once without causing an error.
- Bourne Shell: version.h now contains a new version date.
New features with AN-2020-10-09:
- autoconf: Added support for newer HP-UX versions on Itanium.
Thanks to Rudi Blom for reporting and making a change proposal.
- Bourne Shell: The "wait" builtin is now POSIX compliant and returns 127
in $? in case that a process id to be waited for does not exist.
- Bourne Shell: The exit code retrieved by $/ no longer is masked by 0xFF
when this code originates from a wait(1) call.
Thanks to Koichi Nakashima for reporting
- Bourne Shell: The man page has been enhanced for a better description
of the exit code constraitns.
Thanks to Koichi Nakashima for reporting
- Bourne Shell: The exit code from background jobs is now kept until
the builtin wait(1) is called.
Note that this introduces the need to call "wait" from time to time
in order to free shell job management resources.
Thanks to Koichi Nakashima for reporting
- Bourne Shell: The changes to keep exit codes for background jobs
caused problems that triggered a SIGSEGV in the shell with jobs like:
(sleep 10; exit 17)&
This needed a restructuring in the job management implementation.
- Bourne Shell: Since the next POSIX standard will make it optional
whether sig2str() and str2sig() deal with entries for "EXIT" / 0,
we enhanced the trap2str() and str2trap() interfaces to handle
"EXIT" / 0 and now call these functions before sig2str() and
str2sig().
- Bourne Shell: a new version date has been created.
New features with AN-2020-09-04:
- autoconf: congig.guess: FreeBSD on 64 bit ARM returns arm64 from
uname -m; this was previously not supported and rejected by config.sub.
We now convert "arm64" into "aarch64" in config.guess to get the usual
expected results.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH_32 and LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 are now

/bin/sh is ksh92. This applies e.g. to Oracle Solaris 11 and
OpenSolaris.
- Bourne Shell: added $(RM) -f $(DEST_DIR)$(INSBASE)/xpg4/bin/bosh
to the Makefile in the commands before creating the symlink
xpg4/bin/bosh to bosh to permit to call "make install" more than
once without causing an error.
- Bourne Shell: version.h now contains a new version date.
New features with AN-2020-10-09:
- autoconf: Added support for newer HP-UX versions on Itanium.
Thanks to Rudi Blom for reporting and making a change proposal.
- Bourne Shell: The "wait" builtin is now POSIX compliant and returns 127
in $? in case that a process id to be waited for does not exist.
- Bourne Shell: The exit code retrieved by $/ no longer is masked by 0xFF
when this code originates from a wait(1) call.
Thanks to Koichi Nakashima for reporting
- Bourne Shell: The man page has been enhanced for a better description
of the exit code constraitns.
Thanks to Koichi Nakashima for reporting
- Bourne Shell: The exit code from background jobs is now kept until
the builtin wait(1) is called.
Note that this introduces the need to call "wait" from time to time
in order to free shell job management resources.
Thanks to Koichi Nakashima for reporting
- Bourne Shell: The changes to keep exit codes for background jobs
caused problems that triggered a SIGSEGV in the shell with jobs like:
(sleep 10; exit 17)&
This needed a restructuring in the job management implementation.
- Bourne Shell: Since the next POSIX standard will make it optional
whether sig2str() and str2sig() deal with entries for "EXIT" / 0,
we enhanced the trap2str() and str2trap() interfaces to handle
"EXIT" / 0 and now call these functions before sig2str() and
str2sig().
- Bourne Shell: a new version date has been created.
ShellCheck is a GPLv3 tool that gives warnings and suggestions for
bash/sh shell scripts.
The goals of ShellCheck are:
* To point out and clarify typical beginner's syntax issues that cause
a shell to give cryptic error messages.
* To point out and clarify typical intermediate level semantic problems
that cause a shell to behave strangely and counter-intuitively.
* To point out subtle caveats, corner cases and pitfalls that may cause
an advanced user's otherwise working script to fail under future
circumstances.
New features with AN-2020-07-18:
- Bourne Shell: A new symlink from /opt/schily/xpg4/bin/bosh to
/opt/schily/xpg4/bin/sh is created when "smake install" is called.
This helps people to call "bosh" in strict POSIX mode using the
command line name "bosh" by putting /opt/schily/xpg4/bin in PATH
before /opt/schily/bin, where the bosh implements better backwards
cmpatibility to the Bourne Shell by default than a strictly POSIX
compliant bosh would do. /opt/schily/xpg4/bin/bosh behaves the same
as "/opt/schily/bin/bosh -o posix".
Thanks to Koichi Nakashima for reporting.
New features with AN-2020-08-12:
- autoconf: added a new test for the existence of <sys/auxv.h>
- autoconf: added new tests for Linux getauxval() and FreeBSD elf_aux_info()
- libschily: getexecpath.c now uses getauxval() on Linux and elf_aux_info()
on FreeBSD. This was needed since readlink("/proc/curproc/file") on
FreeBSD returns random values for hardlinked files, making it impossible
to use the result in order to find out which behavior variant of a
fat binary is requested.
- Bourne Shell: Several #ifdef SIG* have been added to make it compile
on older UNIX versions.
Thanks to a hint from Albert Wik.

Changelog from AN-2020-07-01:
- Bourne Shell: A command like
bosh -c 'var=$({ echo value >&3; } 3>&1); echo $var'
Did not print "value" as expected, but rather bosh: 3: bad file number
This is related to the fact that curly brackets do not have an
own binary node type in the parsed output and the recursive parser
from the $(cmd) execution needs to reconstruct the text form
of a command tree. As a result, the command has been translated
into:
bosh -c 'var=$( echo value >&3 3>&1); echo $var'
and this caused the observed problem.
Note that this basic problem may not be finally fixed, so please
report in case that other commands with curly brackets together
with $(cmd) cause problems.

- Bourne Shell: Added a unit test for the bug above.
This fixes:
In certain cases, bash does not perform quoted null removal on patterns
that are used as part of word expansions such as ${parameter##pattern}, so
empty patterns are treated as non-empty
This can cause circular problems where the +INSTALL script requires the shell
itself, but also avoids issues trying to add to /etc/shells during bootstrap
where it may not be appropriate, or done outside of the context of where the
bootstrap tarball will finally be installed.
Users who use mksh as a bootstrap shell can simply add to /etc/shells manually
after installing or extracting the bootstrap as required.
While here remove unnecessary extra indents.
Two patches have been applied on top, both of which are stored in the
patches directory as manual-Build.sh and manual-funcs.c, to fix issues
on Darwin and SunOS that will be included in the next mksh release. The
binary mksh.ico file has been manually removed.
This paves the way for mksh to be used as an alternate bootstrap shell
instead of shells/pdksh, which has been unmaintained for many years and
has some known issues.
Initial bulk build results on Darwin and SunOS look good, and having a
maintained shell which focuses on portability and speed should provide
us with a better long-term option for systems which require a bootstrap
shell.
