pkglint --only "https instead of http" -r -F
With manual adjustments afterwards since pkglint 19.4.4 fixed a few
indentations in unrelated lines.
This mainly affects projects hosted at SourceForce, as well as
freedesktop.org, CTAN and GNU.
## v0.6.4
- Fix `vi-forward-char` triggering a bell when using it to accept a suggestion (#488)
- New configuration option to skip completion suggestions when buffer matches a pattern (#487)
- New configuration option to ignore history entries matching a pattern (#456)

AN-2019-11-11:
- libschily: the new functions wcastoi wcastol wcastolb that have been
added with the previous release have been forgotten in the linker map
file.
AN-2019-12-05:
- include/schily/stdio.h: We no longer define getc_unlocked() on Solaris
in case that it is defined already. This was needed since Oracle
Solaris 11.4 compiles 64 bit by default and made stdio less opaque
than before - this result in the same bahavior as for 32 bit programs.
This means, we no longer need to use tricks to get fast access to
stdio.
Thanks to Rolf Dietze for reporting.
- libschily: the function getargs() and similar (from the option parser
group) fixed a bug that prevented the usability of the official method
to include the char '+' inside option names by quoting the character
in the option name used in the format string.
This bug has been fixed in order to be able to support "star -dump+ ..."
- libshedit: because of the changes in Oracle Solaris 11.4, we need to
#undef FAST_GETC_PUTC in order to avoid to use getc_unlocked().
Thanks to Rolf Dietze for reporting.
- Bourne Shell/bsh: */hashcmd.c did not handle a malloc()ed string
correctly and could cause a memory leak with hash commands that
do not add new aliases.
We now create a copy using make()/makestr() before calling ab_push()
or ab_insert() and always free "name" at the end of the function
hashcmd()
- Bourne Shell: The man page now documents that the command
"set -o hashcmds"
inside the file $HOME/.shrc makes a # on the fist column of that
file and followed by a non-space character, no longer a comment..
It is thus recommended to have "set -o hashcmds" close to the.
bottom of the file $HOME/.shrc

Gash is a POSIX-compatible shell written in Guile Scheme. It provides
both the shell interface, as well as a Guile library for parsing shell
scripts. Gash is designed to bootstrap Bash as part of the Guix
bootstrap process. There are plans to develop Gash into a
general-purpose shell and tool for building interfaces between Scheme
and the shell.
Features of the shell
* Sophisticated enough to be used to build Bash.
* Has a nice colorized prompt.
* Includes all of the POSIX-specified "special" built-ins except for
`times'.
* Includes about half of the POSIX-specified "regular" built-ins
(see `gash/built-ins.scm' for details).
Features of the programming interface
* Parses Shell scripts into an AST.
* Provides a rudimentary interface for writing Shell-like Scheme
scripts.
# fish 3.0.2 (released February 19, 2019)
This release of fish fixes an issue discovered in fish 3.0.1.
### Fixes and improvements
- The PWD environment variable is now ignored if it does not resolve to the true working directory, fixing strange behaviour in terminals started by editors and IDEs (#5647).
If you are upgrading from version 2.7.1 or before, please also review the release notes for 3.0.1, 3.0.0 and 3.0b1 (included below).

# fish 3.0.1 (released February 11, 2019)
This release of fish fixes a number of major issues discovered in fish 3.0.0.
### Fixes and improvements
- `exec` does not complain about running foreground jobs when called (#5449).
- while loops now evaluate to the last executed command in the loop body (or zero if the body was empty), matching POSIX semantics (#4982).
- `read --silent` no longer echoes to the tty when run from a non-interactive script (#5519).
- On macOS, path entries with spaces in `/etc/paths` and `/etc/paths.d` now correctly set path entries with spaces. Likewise, `MANPATH` is correctly set from `/etc/manpaths` and `/etc/manpaths.d` (#5481).
- fish starts correctly under Cygwin/MSYS2 (#5426).
- The `pager-toggle-search` binding (Ctrl-S by default) will now activate the search field, even when the pager is not focused.
- The error when a command is not found is now printed a single time, instead of once per argument (#5588).
- Fixes and improvements to the git completions, including printing correct paths with older git versions, fuzzy matching again, reducing unnecessary offers of root paths (starting with `:/`) (#5578, #5574, #5476), and ignoring shell aliases, so enterprising users can set up the wrapping command (via `set -g __fish_git_alias_$command $whatitwraps`) (#5412).
- Significant performance improvements to core shell functions (#5447) and to the `kill` completions (#5541).
- Starting in symbolically-linked working directories works correctly (#5525).
- The default `fish_title` function no longer contains extra spaces (#5517).
- The `nim` prompt now works correctly when chosen in the Web-based configuration (#5490).
- `string` now prints help to stdout, like other builtins (#5495).
- Killing the terminal while fish is in vi normal mode will no longer send it spinning and eating CPU. (#5528)
- A number of crashes have been fixed (#5550, #5548, #5479, #5453).
- Improvements to the documentation and certain completions.
### Known issues
There is one significant known issue that was not corrected before the release:
- fish does not run correctly under Windows Services for Linux before Windows 10 version 1809/17763, and the message warning of this may not be displayed (#5619).
If you are upgrading from version 2.7.1 or before, please also review the release notes for 3.0.0 and 3.0b1 (included below).
Based on schilytools release from 2019-10-25.
Changelog
=========
- include/schily/wchar.h: Some fallback definitions for
mbsinit() mbrtowc() wcrtomb() have been moved to make them always
visible and not only in case that <wchar.h> exists.
- include/schily/wchar.h: Before, we checked for HAVE_ISWPRINT to catch
the HP-UX-10.20 case where wchar_t is in stdlib.h. Now we check
(SIZEOF_WCHAR == 0 || SIZEOF_WCHAR_T == 0) as this works on Ultrix as
well.
- libgetopt: The getopt() function now supports options in the form:
+o, ++long-option or +long-option
if the optstring starts with a '+'. A new exported variable
"optflags" has the bit "OPT_PLUS" set, in case that an actual option
starts with '+'.
If more than one of the flag characters ':', '+' or "()" are used,
"()" must be last.
- Bourne Shell: The testsuite no longer tries to check ISO-8859-1 strings
as we cannot set this up reliably on all platforms and as Mac OS does
not allow to create the related filenames.
- Bourne Shell: The getopts(1) builtin command now supports options in.
the form:
+o, ++long-option or +long-option
if the optstring starts with a '+'. The shell variable "$NAME" has
a leading '+' in case that an actual option starts with '+'.
Note that this makes getopts(1) in the Bourne Shell compatible at
shell script level to the extensions in the getopts(1) implementation
in ksh93 for:
-o/+o Short options with either a leading - or +
--long GNU style long options as aliases to short -o options
++long GNU style long options as aliases to short +o options
Our enhancements to support:
-long UNIX style long options as aliases to short -o options
+long UNIX style long options as aliases to short +o options
- Long options the have no related short option
Are not supported by ksh93.

=========
- configure: Some shells report a syntax error with "< file (cmd)"
and need the redirection statement to be *after* the command. Our
changes to support the V7 shell by adding round braces caused ash
variants like "dash" to fail.
Thanks to Harald van Dijk for reporting
- cont/cc-config.sh: canged some :>some-file statements into
(:)>some-file. they have meen missed when introducing work arounds
for the V7 Shell on Ultrix that does not support I/O redirection
for builtin commands.
Thanks to Robert Clausecker for reporting
- libschily/comerr.c: If the environment COMERR_EXCODE has been set to
a value that starts with '0', the normal exit code mapping is switched
off, but all potential exit code values != 0 that follow the rule
(excode % 256) == 0
are mapped to -64. This helps to avoid unexpected behavior with
historic shells that still use the old waitpid() and modern
shells (using waitid() but in a backward compatible default mode)
where a program that terminates with
exit(256);
is evaluated in conditional statements as if the exit code was 0.
- Bourne Shell: Missing Makefile.dot added.
- Bourne Shell / bsh / ved: The dotdiles TAR archives are now again named
*/dotfiles.tar.bz2 as the change in the previous release caused
problems.
Thanks for Gabriele Balducci balducci@units.it and Robert Clausecker
for reporting
- Bourne Shell: Cstyle changes (long lines removed) in io.c & expand.c
- Bourne Shell: Fixed a bug that prevented to forward the special exit
cause (NOTFOUND or NOEXEC) to the vfork() parent process via.
struct siginfo.si_code in some cases. These values are added beyond
the POSIX CLD_* values in siginfo.si_code from the POSIX standard.
They are passed back from the vfork()ed child to the parent via the
shared memory from the vfork() implementation.
- Bourne Shell: introduced shared memory to be able to forward the
special exit cause (NOTFOUND or NOEXEC) to the parent even in case it
used fork() instead of vfork().
- Bourne Shell: Added support for a new automatic parameter "$/" to
complement the existing parameter "$?".
This is a result from a discussion in a POSIX teleconference from
April 2016.
This new parameter returns *decimal numbers* for a normal command
termination and *text* for abnormal command termination:
number<>Exit code from normal termination. This is a signed 32 bit
value from the exit() parameter on POSIX systems and a 8 bit
value on pre-POSIX systems like Linux.
signame>A signal name (see kill -l) if the command has been terminated
by a signal. This is the signal name with the leading "SIG"
stripped off.
NOEXEC<>The command was found but could not be executed, e.g. as
a result of missing permissions or because the name points
to a directory.
NOTFOUND The command could not be found.
Note that currently, the strings "NOEXEC" and "NOTFOUND" are passed
back reliably from vfork(2) childs or when the related state is already
known by the cache. In other cases, the reliability of $/ with respect
to "NOEXEC" and "NOTFOUND" has not yet been verified. It thus may
return 126 or 127 as with $?. The string values "NOEXEC" and "NOTFOUND"
cannot be passed back from a subshell, using only the waitid()
mechanism. To circumvent that problem, from fork()ed subshells,.
shared memory or non-fork()ed virtual subshells would work.
If you detect a complex command where you get 126 or 127 instead of
the exoected "NOEXEC" or "NOTFOUND", please send a report.
We for now choose to use shared memory as this is easier to implement.
Later versions will mosy likely implement virtual fork()less
subshells.

=========
Release 2019-03-29:
- Bourne Shell: local(1), export(1) and readonly(1) now all support to.
expand the '~' character in environment variables like e.g. PATH.
- Bourne Shell: Added unit tests for the tilde expansion and the related
changes.
Release 2019-04-29:
- libshedit/bsh/Bourne Shell: The TAB file name expansion now uses a new
expansion funtion that is not based on pattern matching but on strstr()
and thus is no longer fooled by file names that contain pattern matching
meta characters.
- Bourne Shell: "trap -- ..." now correctly handles "--" even if the next
argument is "-".
- Bourne Shell: trap now supports a new option -p that allows to restore
the whole trap state using the following commands:
old_traps=$(trap -p)
trap "some commands" INT QUIT
...
eval "$old_traps"
This is possible because "trap -p" outputs the state for all signals
and not only for those signals that are not in the default state.
The new trap interfase was agreed on in the 2019-04-11 POSIX
teleconference.
Bourne Shell: The exception for "while true; do date; done | uniq -c"
in job control handling that has been introduced in November 2015 has
been refined to prevent it from causing "(bosh)" to stop from SIGTTIN.
Thanks to Robert Elz <kre@munnari.OZ.AU> for reporting.
- Bourne Shell: A new #define JOB_DEBUG has been added.
- Bourne Shell: The command:
(trap '' SEGV; $SHELL -c 'kill -s SEGV $$; echo survived')
caused the shell not to print "survived" because a previous exception
for SIGSEGV from the 1977 Bourne Shell version had not been removed
for the POSIX variant of the shell. The problem occured because it
was possible to unignore an ignored (at startup) SIGSEGV.
Thanks to Robert Elz <kre@munnari.OZ.AU> for reporting.
- Bourne Shell: The code now uses SIG2STR_MAX for the size of the
sig2str() output buffer.
- Bourne Shell: the behavior related to SIGINT on the command line
in the case that the history editor is enabled has been changed to
match the behavior of ksh. The Bourne Shell now calls trap commands
for SIGINT when ^C is typed on the command line.
Note that the classical Bourne Shell behavior (which is still active
in case the history editor has been disabled via "set +o ved") is that
the trap command is called after ^C is followed by a CR if both are
typed on a PS1 prompt.
Note: The behavior for "trap" in this area is currently not specified
in POSIX.
- Bourne Shell: After jobcontrol has been introduced into the Bourne
Shell: When in jobcontrol mode, the shell could no longer get
signals at the same time as foreground jobs because when using
jobcontrol, the shell is in a different process group than the
foreground job.
The Bourne Shell now derives the information about a delivered signal
from the waitid() return data and thus is now able to work the same
way as it has been designed in 1977. This is the same way as ksh works.
If a foreground program catches such signals, the shell is still not
able to detect the signal, but it is now closer to the original
behavior from 1977.
- Bourne Shell: new version date 2019-04-17
Release 2019-05-28:
- Bourne Shell: Similar to what ksh88 does, scripts are now checked
before they are run. If there is a nul byte before a newline
in the first 256 bytes, a file is rejected as alien binary
instead of trying to interpret it as a script.
Release 2019-06-13:
- Bourne Shell: A new option "set -o globskipdot" has been added.
If set, the entries "." and ".." are skipped and not shown in globbing
results. If not set, the entries "." and ".." are always returned,
even when they are not part of the readdir(3) results.
- Bourne Shell: The option "set -o globskipdot" has been made the
new dfault behavior for "bosh", but not for "pbosh"
Note that this new shell option has been introduced as a result
of a related BUG discussion in the Austin Group telephone conference.
The background is to permit shell scripts to check whether a shell
grants to hide the "." and ".." for all filesystems.
Release 2019-07-15:
- Bourne Shell: If OPTIND is set to a new value, the getopt() internal
variable "_sp" is now reset to 1. This is needed in order to make sure
that a combined option string can be parsed correctly.
- Bourne Shell/libshedit/bsh: The TAB expander now again gives .. as a.
result if the pattern is ..
This is needed in order to let ..TAB result in ../ on the command
line editor.
Release 2019-09-22:
- Bourne Shell: The new function isbinary() that has been introduced
in May and that should prevent the shell from interpreting binary
files as shell scripts had a problem:
In case that a disconnected TCP/IP based remote login caused a SIGTERM
followed by the read() function on stdin returning EIO, the shell
could go into a complex endless loop as the failing read() with
"trapnote" set caused a longjmp() before the next prompt without first
clearing "trapnote". As a result, the shell did hang endlessly around
while just consuming CPU time.
The shell now avoids to call the read() routine inside isbinary()
when "trapnote" is set and this way is able to avoid the longjmp() on
error.
- Bourne Shell: Fixed some typos in comment
Thanks to Robert Clausecker for reporting
- Bourne Shell: print.c: Changed err++ for a BOOL typed variable
into err = TRUE.
Thanks to Robert Clausecker for reporting
- Bourne Shell, with obosh compilation type: Avoid an "unused" warning
with word.c
- Bourne Shell: defs.h now includes an "extern int optopt;" in order
to support Ultrix where this delcaration is missing in unistd.h.
Thanks to Robert Clausecker for reporting
- bsh/Bourne Shell: test.c Now using a
#if defined(S_IFPORT) && S_IFPORT != S_IFIFO
to work around a strange definition on Ultrix

Note: The behavior for "trap" in this area is currently not specified
in POSIX.
- Bourne Shell: After jobcontrol has been introduced into the Bourne
Shell: When in jobcontrol mode, the shell could no longer get
signals at the same time as foreground jobs because when using
jobcontrol, the shell is in a different process group than the
foreground job.
The Bourne Shell now derives the information about a delivered signal
from the waitid() return data and thus is now able to work the same
way as it has been designed in 1977. This is the same way as ksh works.
If a foreground program catches such signals, the shell is still not
able to detect the signal, but it is now closer to the original
behavior from 1977.
- Bourne Shell: new version date 2019-04-17
Release 2019-05-28:
- Bourne Shell: Similar to what ksh88 does, scripts are now checked
before they are run. If there is a nul byte before a newline
in the first 256 bytes, a file is rejected as alien binary
instead of trying to interpret it as a script.
Release 2019-06-13:
- Bourne Shell: A new option "set -o globskipdot" has been added.
If set, the entries "." and ".." are skipped and not shown in globbing
results. If not set, the entries "." and ".." are always returned,
even when they are not part of the readdir(3) results.
- Bourne Shell: The option "set -o globskipdot" has been made the
new dfault behavior for "bosh", but not for "pbosh"
Note that this new shell option has been introduced as a result
of a related BUG discussion in the Austin Group telephone conference.
The background is to permit shell scripts to check whether a shell
grants to hide the "." and ".." for all filesystems.
Release 2019-07-15:
- Bourne Shell: If OPTIND is set to a new value, the getopt() internal
variable "_sp" is now reset to 1. This is needed in order to make sure
that a combined option string can be parsed correctly.
- Bourne Shell/libshedit/bsh: The TAB expander now again gives .. as a.
result if the pattern is ..
This is needed in order to let ..TAB result in ../ on the command
line editor.
Release 2019-09-22:
- Bourne Shell: The new function isbinary() that has been introduced
in May and that should prevent the shell from interpreting binary
files as shell scripts had a problem:
In case that a disconnected TCP/IP based remote login caused a SIGTERM
followed by the read() function on stdin returning EIO, the shell
could go into a complex endless loop as the failing read() with
"trapnote" set caused a longjmp() before the next prompt without first
clearing "trapnote". As a result, the shell did hang endlessly around
while just consuming CPU time.
The shell now avoids to call the read() routine inside isbinary()
when "trapnote" is set and this way is able to avoid the longjmp() on
error.
- Bourne Shell: Fixed some typos in comment
Thanks to Robert Clausecker for reporting
- Bourne Shell: print.c: Changed err++ for a BOOL typed variable
into err = TRUE.
Thanks to Robert Clausecker for reporting
- Bourne Shell, with obosh compilation type: Avoid an "unused" warning
with word.c
- Bourne Shell: defs.h now includes an "extern int optopt;" in order
to support Ultrix where this delcaration is missing in unistd.h.
Thanks to Robert Clausecker for reporting
- bsh/Bourne Shell: test.c Now using a
#if defined(S_IFPORT) && S_IFPORT != S_IFIFO
to work around a strange definition on Ultrix
Thanks to Robert Clausecker for reporting
- Bourne Shell: New version date
10: fix var-assigns before special builtins & fn calls in posix mode
11: fixed missing quoted nul removal (in one odd case).
See the patch files (once fetched) for more details of what was altered.
Note release version goes backwards. Version now follows openbsd version
numbering.
No changes available.
Patched to eliminate compilation warnings on netbsd.
When $HOME environment variable is set, e.g. in pkgrsc where a fake
homedir is injected, ~ is expanded to $HOME while ~user is expanded
to the passwd(5) home_dir field leading to inconsistency in the test.
No PKGREVISION bump since that change only affects tests.
pkgsrc changes:
- Add patch-nls_Makefile.in to avoid +x bit in *.cat files
- Remove no longer needed patches (all applied upstream):
patch-ed.chared.c, patch-ed.inputl.c, patch-nls-catgen, patch-sh.func.c,
patch-tw.init.c
Changes:
V6.21.00 - 20190508
-------------------
- Abort history loading on words and lines too long
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1598502
- PR/37: Introduce GetCmdChar() to avoid open coding array access.
make closem() not close sockets so as not to affect nss_ldap.
tcsh never creates sockets so that's ok (Miloslav Trmac)
- PR/597: Make rmstar work with aliased rm
- convert match() from recursive to backtracking.
- Handle 8 bit characters in bindkey (Werner Fink)
- Look for tgetent in libtinfo as well (Werner Fink)
- Don't play pointer tricks that are undefined in modern c (Brooks Davis)
- Fix out of bounds read (Brooks Davis)
- Fix type of read in prompt confirmation (eg. rmstar) (David Kaspar)
- PR/471: Delay arginp parsing
ok <kim>, thanks!
The patches fix:
1. Under certain circumstances, the glob expansion code did not remove
backslashes escaping characters in directory names (or portions of a
pattern preceding a slash).
2. When an alias value ends with an unquoted literal tab (not part of a quoted
string or comment), alias expansion cannot correctly detect the end of the
alias value after expanding it.
3. There are several incompatibilities in how bash-5.0 processes pathname
expansion (globbing) of filename arguments that have backslashes in the
directory portion.
4. In bash-5.0, the `wait' builtin without arguments waits for all children
of the shell. This includes children it `inherited' at shell invocation time.
This patch modifies the behavior to not wait for these inherited children,
some of which might be long-lived.
5. In certain cases, bash optimizes out a fork() call too early and prevents
traps from running.
6. Bash-5.0 did not build successfully if SYSLOG_HISTORY was defined without
also defining SYSLOG_SHOPT.
7. Running `exec' when job control was disabled, even temporarily, but after it
had been initialized, could leave the terminal in the wrong process group for
the executed process.

Changelog
=========
Release 2019-02-18:
- libgetopt: The undocumented variable "_sp" from SVr4 has been renamed
to "opt_sp" and (on platforms that support "#pragma weak") there
is a weak reference _sp to that new variable, giving backwards
compatibility.
The reason for doing this is to make sure that people on Illumos
or Oracle Solaris, who still have an outdated version of getopt()
in their local libc, do not try to link the Bourne Shell only
against their old getopt(). If they did this, they would not get
the documented enhanced getopt() features from the Bourne Shell.
- Bourne Shell: The shell now uses "opt_sp" as the name for the
undocumented additional getopt() interface from AT&T. This has
been done to avoid being able to link the Bourne Shell on
Illumos or Oracle Solaris without using our libgetopt. If this
was done, we could not support UNIX/MULTICS style long options
and we could not support -help/--help, since the latter is
implemented via long options that are not an alias to short
options.
- Bourne Shell: added a new timestamp to the Bourne Shell version.
Release 2018-11-21:
- Bourne Shell: make it exit the whole shell with set -e after a command
substitution failed on the right side of a variable assignment
that has no command. This is required by POSIX.
- Bourne Shell: added a unit tests for the above case.
- Bourne Shell: New version date set to 2018-12-08 the this change.
Release 2019-01-22:

# fish 3.0.0 (released December 28, 2018)
fish 3 is a major release, which introduces some breaking changes alongside improved functionality. Although most existing scripts will continue to work, they should be reviewed against the list contained in the 3.0b1 release notes below.
Compared to the beta release of fish 3.0b1, fish version 3.0.0:
- builds correctly against musl libc (#5407)
- handles huge numeric arguments to `test` correctly (#5414)
- removes the history colouring introduced in 3.0b1, which did not always work correctly
There is one significant known issue which was not able to be corrected before the release:
- fish 3.0.0 builds on Cygwin (#5423), but does not run correctly (#5426) and will result in a hanging terminal when started. Cygwin users are encouraged to continue using 2.7.1 until a release which corrects this is available.
If you are upgrading from version 2.7.1 or before, please also review the release notes for 3.0b1 (included below).

# fish 3.0b1 (released December 11, 2018)
fish 3 is a major release, which introduces some breaking changes alongside improved functionality. Although most existing scripts will continue to work, they should be reviewed against the list below.
## Notable non-backward compatible changes
- Process and job expansion has largely been removed. `%` will no longer perform these expansions, except for `%self` for the PID of the current shell. Additionally, job management commands (`disown`, `wait`, `bg`, `fg` and `kill`) will expand job specifiers starting with `%` (#4230, #1202).
- `set x[1] x[2] a b`, to set multiple elements of an array at once, is no longer valid syntax (#4236).
- A literal `{}` now expands to itself, rather than nothing. This makes working with `find -exec` easier (#1109, #4632).
- Literally accessing a zero-index is now illegal syntax and is caught by the parser (#4862). (fish indices start at 1)
- Successive commas in brace expansions are handled in less surprising manner. For example, `{,,,}` expands to four empty strings rather than an empty string, a comma and an empty string again (#3002, #4632).
- `for` loop control variables are no longer local to the `for` block (#1935).
- Variables set in `if` and `while` conditions are available outside the block (#4820).
- Local exported (`set -lx`) vars are now visible to functions (#1091).
- The new `math` builtin (see below) does not support logical expressions; `test` should be used instead (#4777).
- Range expansion will now behave sensibly when given a single positive and negative index (`$foo[5..-1]` or `$foo[-1..5]`), clamping to the last valid index without changing direction if the list has fewer elements than expected.
- `read` now uses `-s` as short for `--silent` (à la `bash`); `--shell`'s abbreviation (formerly `-s`) is now `-S` instead (#4490).
- `cd` no longer resolves symlinks. fish now maintains a virtual path, matching other shells (#3350).
- `source` now requires an explicit `-` as the filename to read from the terminal (#2633).
- Arguments to `end` are now errors, instead of being silently ignored.
- The names `argparse`, `read`, `set`, `status`, `test` and `[` are now reserved and not allowed as function names. This prevents users unintentionally breaking stuff (#3000).
- The `fish_user_abbreviations` variable is no longer used; abbreviations will be migrated to the new storage format automatically.
- The `FISH_READ_BYTE_LIMIT` variable is now called `fish_byte_limit` (#4414).
- Environment variables are no longer split into arrays based on the record separator character on startup. Instead, variables are not split, unless their name ends in PATH, in which case they are split on colons (#436).
- The `history` builtin's `--with-time` option has been removed; this has been deprecated in favor of `--show-time` since 2.7.0 (#4403).
- The internal variables `__fish_datadir` and `__fish_sysconfdir` are now known as `__fish_data_dir` and `__fish_sysconf_dir` respectively.
## Deprecations
With the release of fish 3, a number of features have been marked for removal in the future. All users are encouraged to explore alternatives. A small number of these features are currently behind feature flags, which are turned on at present but may be turned off by default in the future.
A new feature flags mechanism is added for staging deprecations and breaking changes. Feature flags may be specified at launch with `fish --features ...` or by setting the universal `fish_features` variable. (#4940)
- The use of the `IFS` variable for `read` is deprecated; `IFS` will be ignored in the future (#4156). Use the `read --delimiter` option instead.
- The `function --on-process-exit` switch will be removed in future (#4700). Use the `fish_exit` event instead: `function --on-event fish_exit`.
- `$_` is deprecated and will removed in the future (#813). Use `status current-command` in a command substitution instead.
- `^` as a redirection deprecated and will be removed in the future. (#4394). Use `2>` to redirect stderr. This is controlled by the `stderr-nocaret` feature flag.
- `?` as a glob (wildcard) is deprecated and will be removed in the future (#4520). This is controlled by the `qmark-noglob` feature flag.
## Notable fixes and improvements
### Syntax changes and new commands
- fish now supports `&&` (like `and`), `||` (like `or`), and `!` (like `not`), for better migration from POSIX-compliant shells (#4620).
- Variables may be used as commands (#154).
- fish may be started in private mode via `fish --private`. Private mode fish sessions do not have access to the history file and any commands evaluated in private mode are not persisted for future sessions. A session variable `$fish_private_mode` can be queried to detect private mode and adjust the behavior of scripts accordingly to respect the user's wish for privacy.
- A new `wait` command for waiting on backgrounded processes (#4498).
- `math` is now a builtin rather than a wrapper around `bc` (#3157). Floating point computations is now used by default, and can be controlled with the new `--scale` option (#4478).
- Setting `$PATH` no longer warns on non-existent directories, allowing for a single $PATH to be shared across machines (eg via dotfiles) (#2969).
- `while` sets `$status` to a non-zero value if the loop is not executed (#4982).
- Command substitution output is now limited to 10 MB by default, controlled by the `fish_read_limit` variable (#3822). Notably, this is larger than most operating systems' argument size limit, so trying to pass argument lists this size to external commands has never worked.
- The machine hostname, where available, is now exposed as the `$hostname` reserved variable. This removes the dependency on the `hostname` executable (#4422).
- Bare `bind` invocations in config.fish now work. The `fish_user_key_bindings` function is no longer necessary, but will still be executed if it exists (#5191).
- `$fish_pid` and `$last_pid` are available as replacements for `%self` and `%last`.
### New features in commands
- `alias` has a new `--save` option to save the generated function immediately (#4878).
- `bind` has a new `--silent` option to ignore bind requests for named keys not available under the current terminal (#4188, #4431).
- `complete` has a new `--keep-order` option to show the provided or dynamically-generated argument list in the same order as specified, rather than alphabetically (#361).
- `exec` prompts for confirmation if background jobs are running.
- `funced` has a new `--save` option to automatically save the edited function after successfully editing (#4668).
- `functions` has a new ` --handlers` option to show functions registered as event handlers (#4694).
- `history search` supports globs for wildcard searching (#3136) and has a new `--reverse` option to show entries from oldest to newest (#4375).
- `jobs` has a new `--quiet` option to silence the output.
- `read` has a new `--delimiter` option for splitting input into arrays (#4256).
- `read` writes directly to stdout if called without arguments (#4407).
- `read` can now read individual lines into separate variables without consuming the input in its entirety via the new `/--line` option.
- `set` has new `--append` and `--prepend` options (#1326).
- `set` has a new `--show` option to show lots of information about variables (#4265).
- `string match` with an empty pattern and `--entire` in glob mode now matches everything instead of nothing (#4971).

### Interactive improvements
- A pipe at the end of a line now allows the job to continue on the next line (#1285).
- Italics and dim support out of the box on macOS for Terminal.app and iTerm (#4436).
- `cd` tab completions no longer descend into the deepest unambiguous path (#4649).
- Pager navigation has been improved. Most notably, moving down now wraps around, moving up from the commandline now jumps to the last element and moving right and left now reverse each other even when wrapping around (#4680).
- Typing normal characters while the completion pager is active no longer shows the search field. Instead it enters them into the command line, and ends paging (#2249).
- A new input binding `pager-toggle-search` toggles the search field in the completions pager on and off. By default, this is bound to Ctrl-S.
- Searching in the pager now does a full fuzzy search (#5213).
- The pager will now show the full command instead of just its last line if the number of completions is large (#4702).
- Abbreviations can be tab-completed (#3233).
- Tildes in file names are now properly escaped in completions (#2274).
- Wrapping completions (from `complete --wraps` or `function --wraps`) can now inject arguments. For example, `complete gco --wraps 'git checkout'` now works properly (#1976). The `alias` function has been updated to respect this behavior.
- Path completions now support expansions, meaning expressions like `python ~/<TAB>` now provides file suggestions just like any other relative or absolute path. (This includes support for other expansions, too.)
- Autosuggestions try to avoid arguments that are already present in the command line.
- Notifications about crashed processes are now always shown, even in command substitutions (#4962).
- The screen is no longer reset after a BEL, fixing graphical glitches (#3693).
- vi-mode now supports ';' and ',' motions. This introduces new {forward,backward}-jump-till and repeat-jump{,-reverse} bind functions (#5140).
- The `*y` vi-mode binding now works (#5100).
- True color is now enabled in neovim by default (#2792).
- Terminal size variables (`$COLUMNS`/`$LINES`) are now updated before `fish_prompt` is called, allowing the prompt to react (#904).
- Multi-line prompts no longer repeat when the terminal is resized (#2320).
- `xclip` support has been added to the clipboard integration (#5020).
- The Alt-P keybinding paginates the last command if the command line is empty.
- `$cmd_duration` is no longer reset when no command is executed (#5011).
- Deleting a one-character word no longer erases the next word as well (#4747).
- Token history search (Alt-Up) omits duplicate entries (#4795).
- The `fish_escape_delay_ms` timeout, allowing the use of the escape key both on its own and as part of a control sequence, was applied to all control characters; this has been reduced to just the escape key.
- Completing a function shows the description properly (#5206).

- Completions for `yarn` and `npm` now require the `all-the-package-names` NPM package for full functionality.
- Completions for `bower` and `yarn` now require the `jq` utility for full functionality.
- Improved French translations.
### Other fixes and improvements
- Significant performance improvements to `abbr` (#4048), setting variables (#4200, #4341), executing functions, globs (#4579), `string` reading from standard input (#4610), and slicing history (in particular, `$history[1]` for the last executed command).
- Fish's internal wcwidth function has been updated to deal with newer Unicode, and the width of some characters can be configured via the `fish_ambiguous_width` (#5149) and `fish_emoji_width` (#2652) variables. Alternatively, a new build-time option INTERNAL_WCWIDTH can be used to use the system's wcwidth instead (#4816).
- `functions` correctly supports `-d` as the short form of `--description`. (#5105)
- `/etc/paths` is now parsed like macOS' bash `path_helper`, fixing $PATH order (#4336, #4852) on macOS.
- Using a read-only variable in a `for` loop produces an error, rather than silently producing incorrect results (#4342).
- The universal variables filename no longer contains the hostname or MAC address. It is now at the fixed location `.config/fish/fish_variables` (#1912).
- Exported variables in the global or universal scope no longer have their exported status affected by local variables (#2611).
- Major rework of terminal and job handling to eliminate bugs (#3805, #3952, #4178, #4235, #4238, #4540, #4929, #5210).
- Improvements to the manual page completion generator (#2937, #4313).
- `suspend --force` now works correctly (#4672).
- Pressing Ctrl-C while running a script now reliably terminates fish (#5253).
### For distributors and developers
- fish ships with a new build system based on CMake. CMake 3.2 is the minimum required version. Although the autotools-based Makefile and the Xcode project are still shipped with this release, they will be removed in the near future. All distributors and developers are encouraged to migrate to the CMake build.
- Build scripts for most platforms no longer require bash, using the standard sh instead.
- The `hostname` command is no longer required for fish to operate.
