Let me know if you have any this time.
This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.3 since
the release of bash-4.2. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
the place to look for complete descriptions.
1. New Features in Bash
a. The `helptopic' completion action now maps to all the help topics, not just
the shell builtins.
b. The `help' builtin no longer does prefix substring matching first, so
`help read' does not match `readonly', but will do it if exact string
matching fails.
c. The shell can be compiled to not display a message about processes that
terminate due to SIGTERM.
d. Non-interactive shells now react to the setting of checkwinsize and set
LINES and COLUMNS after a foreground job exits.
e. There is a new shell option, `globasciiranges', which, when set to on,
forces globbing range comparisons to use character ordering as if they
were run in the C locale.
f. There is a new shell option, `direxpand', which makes filename completion
expand variables in directory names in the way bash-4.1 did.
g. In Posix mode, the `command' builtin does not change whether or not a
builtin it shadows is treated as an assignment builtin.
h. The `return' and `exit' builtins accept negative exit status arguments.
i. The word completion code checks whether or not a filename containing a
shell variable expands to a directory name and appends `/' to the word
as appropriate. The same code expands shell variables in command names
when performing command completion.
j. In Posix mode, it is now an error to attempt to define a shell function
with the same name as a Posix special builtin.
k. When compiled for strict Posix conformance, history expansion is disabled
by default.
l. The history expansion character (!) does not cause history expansion when
followed by the closing quote in a double-quoted string.
m. `complete' and its siblings compgen/compopt now takes a new `-o noquote'
option to inhibit quoting of the completions.
n. Setting HISTSIZE to a value less than zero causes the history list to be
unlimited (setting it 0 zero disables the history list).
o. Setting HISTFILESIZE to a value less than zero causes the history file size
to be unlimited (setting it to 0 causes the history file to be truncated
to zero size).
p. The `read' builtin now skips NUL bytes in the input.
q. There is a new `bind -X' option to print all key sequences bound to Unix
commands.
r. When in Posix mode, `read' is interruptible by a trapped signal. After
running the trap handler, read returns 128+signal and throws away any
partially-read input.
s. The command completion code skips whitespace and assignment statements
before looking for the command name word to be completed.
t. The build process has a new mechanism for constructing separate help files
that better reflects the current set of compilation options.
u. The -nt and -ot options to test now work with files with nanosecond
timestamp resolution.
v. The shell saves the command history in any shell for which history is
enabled and HISTFILE is set, not just interactive shells.
w. The shell has `nameref' variables and new -n(/+n) options to declare and
unset to use them, and a `test -R' option to test for them.
x. The shell now allows assigning, referencing, and unsetting elements of
indexed arrays using negative subscripts (a[-1]=2, echo ${a[-1]}) which
count back from the last element of the array.
y. The {x}<word redirection feature now allows words like {array[ind]} and
can use variables with special meanings to the shell (e.g., BASH_XTRACEFD).
z. There is a new CHILD_MAX special shell variable; its value controls the
number of exited child statues the shell remembers.
aa. There is a new configuration option (--enable-direxpand-default) that
causes the `direxpand' shell option to be enabled by default.
bb. Bash does not do anything special to ensure that the file descriptor
assigned to X in {x}<foo remains open after the block containing it
completes.
cc. The `wait' builtin has a new `-n' option to wait for the next child to
change status.
dd. The `printf' %(...)T format specifier now uses the current time if no
argument is supplied.
ee. There is a new variable, BASH_COMPAT, that controls the current shell
compatibility level.
ff. The `popd' builtin now treats additional arguments as errors.
gg. The brace expansion code now treats a failed sequence expansion as a
simple string and will continue to expand brace terms in the remainder
of the word.
hh. Shells started to run process substitutions now run any trap set on EXIT.
ii. The fc builtin now interprets -0 as the current command line.
jj. Completing directory names containing shell variables now adds a trailing
slash if the expanded result is a directory.
kk. `cd' has a new `-@' option to browse a file's extended attributes on
systems that support O_XATTR.
ll. The test/[/[[ `-v variable' binary operator now understands array
references.
2. New Features in Readline
a. Readline is now more responsive to SIGHUP and other fatal signals when
reading input from the terminal or performing word completion but no
longer attempts to run any not-allowable functions from a signal handler
context.
b. There are new bindable commands to search the history for the string of
characters between the beginning of the line and the point
(history-substring-search-forward, history-substring-search-backward)
c. Readline allows quoted strings as the values of variables when setting
them with `set'. As a side effect, trailing spaces and tabs are ignored
when setting a string variable's value.
d. The history library creates a backup of the history file when writing it
and restores the backup on a write error.
e. New application-settable variable: rl_filename_stat_hook: a function called
with a filename before using it in a call to stat(2). Bash uses it to
expand shell variables so things like $HOME/Downloads have a slash
appended.
f. New bindable function `print-last-kbd-macro', prints the most-recently-
defined keyboard macro in a reusable format.
g. New user-settable variable `colored-stats', enables use of colored text
to denote file types when displaying possible completions (colored analog
of visible-stats).
h. New user-settable variable `keyseq-timout', acts as an inter-character
timeout when reading input or incremental search strings.
i. New application-callable function: rl_clear_history. Clears the history list
and frees all readline-associated private data.
j. New user-settable variable, show-mode-in-prompt, adds a characters to the
beginning of the prompt indicating the current editing mode.
k. New application-settable variable: rl_input_available_hook; function to be
called when readline detects there is data available on its input file
descriptor.
l. Readline calls an application-set event hook (rl_event_hook) after it gets
a signal while reading input (read returns -1/EINTR but readline does not
handle the signal immediately) to allow the application to handle or
otherwise note it.
m. If the user-settable variable `history-size' is set to a value less than
0, the history list size is unlimited.
n. New application-settable variable: rl_signal_event_hook; function that is
called when readline is reading terminal input and read(2) is interrupted
by a signal. Currently not called for SIGHUP or SIGTERM.
o. rl_change_environment: new application-settable variable that controls
whether or not Readline modifies the environment (currently readline
modifies only LINES and COLUMNS).

Changelog:
This is version 5.0.5 of the shell. This is a stable release.
There are minor new features as well as bug fixes since 5.0.2.
5.0.3 and 5.0.4 were short-lived releases with most of the features of
5.0.5 that were replaced owing to significant bugs.
Incompatibilities between 5.0.2 and 5.0.5
-----------------------------------------
The "zshaddhistory" hook mechanism documented in the zshmisc manual page
has been upgraded so that a hook returning status 2 causes a history
line to be saved on the internal history list but not written to the
history file. Previously any non-zero status return would cause
the line not to be saved on the history at all. It is recommended
to use status 1 for this (indeed most shell users would naturally do
so).

[tg] Implement Emacs mode PgUp as Vi insert mode Cur↑ for Yofuh
[tg] Allow setting both “set -o sh” and “set -o posix”, if done in the

to fix segmentation fault just after invocation, at least on
NetBSD/amd64 6.1, which is reported as PR pkg/47917.
The problem was also reported by gcc (4.5.3) as:
main.c: In function 'main':
main.c:206:15: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
At following location:
203 char *simplified;
....
206 simplified = canonicalize_file_name(current_wd);
to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
Should patch the configure script to respect the environment setting
of CC_FOR_GETHOST (or CC_FOR_BUILD or something), but this is less
work and will do for now.
Patch it up to use compile-tests rather than run-tests in autoconf
for many of its tests (OS-independently). Teach it about the few
remaining properties for NetBSD in particular.
ok agc
* [tg] Make “set -x” print the commands run in escaped form
* [tg] PS4 in dot.mkshrc is now timestamped
* [tg] The &> GNU bash I/O redir is no longer parsed in -o posix, -o sh modes,
lksh (breaks valid scripts)
* [tg] Implement ${ …;} more efficiently (deleted-open files)
* [tg] For shf, %#s (if you can get it past GCC’s printf format attribute)
calls print_value_quoted, ignoring field width and precision
* [tg] Catch “typeset =” (regression) with better error message
* [tg, Tonnerre Lombard] add “doch” alias to dot.mkshrc which just repeats the
last input line with sudo(8)
* [tg] Use unsigned integers for all calculations, to avoid ISO C “Undefined
Behaviour” (and implementation-defined behaviour) throughout (most of) the
code; emulate signed integer arithmetics using unsigned; not-lksh only
* [tg] Emulate signed modulo naïvely, for correct sign of the result
* [tg] Add <<< and >>> for ROL and ROR (rotate left and right, respectively)
operations, <<<= and >>> assignments; bitwise AND the RHS of a shift/rotate
op with 31 (not for lksh)
* [tg] Remove a warning by working around a workaround found in dietlibc which
works around a bug in broken software such as GNU tar (really!)
* [tg] Correct and simplify list and categorisation of built-in commands as
POSIX special and “everything else” plus a flag to keep assignments
* [tg] Handle ((foo)) as “let]” internally to avoid a conflict with
user-defined functions called let (LP#1156707)
* [tg] Clean up the code
