CHANGES file includes:
Changes that improve compatibility w/ the Sixth Edition Unix shell
are marked w/ a `C:' in the details below.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[osh-20070324]:
osh.c:
* In main(), changed when fdfree() is called so that it is in a more
ideal sequence with other operations according to how the shell is
invoked (e.g., interactive shell vs. non-interactive shell).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[osh-20070321]:
* Imported the project into a local subversion repository.
* Changed the all of the code to "#include <stdbool.h>" and to use
the "bool" data-type macro where appropriate.
Makefile:
* Added SYSCONFDIR and a new `man' target.
osh.c:
* Defined _PATH_SYSTEM_LOGIN as `SYSCONFDIR/**/"/osh.login"' instead
of "/etc/osh.login" so that the user can use SYSCONFDIR (/etc by
default) at build-time to specify the directory where the shell
shall search for its system-wide initialization file.
* Added a new special parameter, $v, which makes the version of the
osh package available as a read-only string. The format is
`osh-YYYYMMDD' for official releases and `osh-current (YYYYMMDD)'
(interpreted as one word) for development snapshots.
* Fixed a bug where interactive shells were no longer ignoring SIGTERM
when invoked, as they are supposed to. Now, SIGTERM is being ignored
again upon invocation of all interactive shells.
* Fixed the output from doing a `sigign' so that it matches its
documentation in osh.1: "..., a list is printed of those signals
which are ignored by sigign in the current shell."
Previously, the output from a `sigign' could be a little confusing.
Now, its output only indicates those cases where a given signal is
being ignored w/ the possibility that it can then be unignored
(reset) in the current shell context.
if.c:
* Added 3 new primaries: -ef (equal files - same device, same inode),
-nt (newer than), -ot (older than). See the if(1) manual page for
full details.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[osh-20070131]:
osh.1:
* Made a few minimal changes to synchronize the manual w/ the code.
osh.c 1.2 (jneitzel) 2007/01/14:
* Changed the `chdir: No old directory' diagnostic to
`chdir: No previous directory' to match the manual.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[osh-20061230]:
The following files have been removed in this release:
examples/*: These files are now available at:
http://jneitzel.sdf1.org/osh/initialization_files/
tests/*: ... until I have a chance to rewrite them ...
*.1:
* Changed all instances of `UNIX' to `Unix' since the name
of the Unix operating system is not an acronym.
pexec.c:
* Fixed a possible, but very unlikely, memory leak.
osh.c:
C: Rewrote the shell! It is now a combination of the ports of the
original source code from sh6.c and glob6.c (see CHANGES_sh-to-sh6)
w/ the prior enhancements which were found in osh-060124/osh*.[ch] .
fd2.c:
* Removed the call to lseek(2) to end-of-file for errors.
The shell determines when this is necessary.
* Changed the `: no shell' diagnostic to `: No shell!'
in the spirit of sh6(1).
goto.c:
* Fixed a bug which interfered w/ finding a requested label when
its first character had the high-order bit set. The value of the
first character is now passed to getlabel() as an unsigned char
converted to an int to allow correct comparison in such a case.
if.c:
* Removed the call to lseek(2) to end-of-file for errors.
The shell determines when this is necessary.
* Changed the method used to build the argument list for all commands
executed by this utility, and removed the `Too many args' diagnostic.
The maximum length of the argument list for a command is now limited
only by the maximum length that the invoker can pass and by any
system-imposed limit for execve(2) (see E2BIG in errno(2)).
* Changed the `: no shell' diagnostic to `: No shell!'
in the spirit of sh6(1).
* Changed the diagnostic used for `!', `-a', `-o', and `(' operator
errors from `: argument expected' to `: expression expected'.

Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.
Based on PR 22994 by Anthony Mallet.
I modify to adapt to recent pkgsrc tree and update from 1.4 to 1.6.
eltclsh (editline tcl shell) is an interactive shell for the TCL
programming language. It provides command line editing, history browsing
as well as variables and command completion thanks to editline
features. The completion engine is programmable in a way similar to tcsh,
and comes with an programmed completion for the whole TCL language by
default.
The package also provides elwish, an interactive interpreter for the Tk
toolkit.
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.
Patch provided by Martin Wilke via PR 34313.
[osh-060124]:
Makefile:
* Added targets for building/installing sh6(1) and glob6(1).
Refer to the README file for further details.
* Removed the `check-sh6' target since the tests were originally
written for osh(1) and sh6(1) as Thompson-shell reimplementations,
not ports.
sh6:
* Changed sh6(1) from being a reimplementation which is compiled from
the same sources as osh(1) to being a port of the original Thompson
shell from Sixth Edition Unix. Refer to the CHANGES_sh-to-sh6 file
for further details.
osh:
C: Treat both `( ; )' and `( & )' as syntax errors.
C: Print the process ID for each command of an asynchronous pipeline,
not just the last command.
C: Added the `newgrp' special command. It is similar to `login'
except that the newgrp(1) utility replaces the current interactive
shell rather than the login(1) utility.
* When opening `/dev/null' is needed for an asynchronous command,
call open(2) w/ the O_RDONLY flag instead of O_RDWR.
From DESCR:
mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn
shell (pdksh), a bourne-compatible shell which is largely si-
milar to the original AT&T Korn shell. It includes bug fixes
and feature improvements in order to produce a modern, robust
shell good for interactive and especially script use.
