- free the value returned by find_hashed_filename
[bash-2.01-release frozen]
+
+ 6/6

+configure.in
+ - force shlicc2 and libc malloc for BSD/OS 3.0
+
+ 6/9
+ ---
+doc/Makefile.in
+ - don't create ${man3dir}, since we're not installing the readline
+ manual page
+
+lib/readline/readline.h
+ - rl_dispatching should be declared `extern'
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+ 6/10
+ ----
+lib/malloc/Makefile.in
+ - make sure ${ALLOCA_SOURCE} is preceded by ${srcdir} so that things
+ work when building in a directory other than the source directory
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+ 6/30
+ ----
+lib/readline/examples/rltest.c
+ - don't free the value returned by history_list()
+
+lib/readline/histfile.c
+ - open the history file for writing with mode 0600 for better
+ security
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+execute_cmd.c
+ - select_query now uses legal_number to decide whether the user's
+ selection is a valid number, and just executes the loop again if
+ invalid input is entered
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+ 7/1
+ ---
+builtins/evalstring.c
+ - fix to parse_and_execute so `bash -c 'time [-p] zzz'' works right
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+execute_cmd.c
+ - fix to execute_command_internal so that `bash -c time [-p] (zzz)''
+ works right
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+ - print_formatted_time should pass a long as the fourth parameter
+ to mkfmt
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+externs.h, shell.c
+ - `exit_shell' is now a void function
+
+hashlib.c
+ - print_table_stats is now a void function
+
+mailcheck.c
+ - made add_mail_file check for the filename in the mail file list
+ using the expanded filename, since that is what it puts into
+ the list
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+variables.c
+ - for the time being, PWD will be auto-exported, since some systems
+ seem to expect it
+
+doc/bashref.texi, lib/readline/doc/{hist,rlman}.texinfo
+ - added necessary `dircategory' and `direntry' commands to make
+ `install-info' work correctly
+
+Makefile.in
+ - move $(LDFLAGS) after $(BUILTINS_LDFLAGS) and $(LIBRARY_LDFLAGS) on
+ the line that links bash
+
+doc/texinfo.tex
+ - upgraded to version 2.185 from the texinfo-3.9 distribution
+
+lib/tilde/tilde.c
+ - fixed a bug in tilde_expand so that enough space is allocated for

+ This was masked before by the bash malloc()
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+ 7/3
+ ---
+aclocal.m4
+ - new test, BASH_TYPE_INT32_T, to check which builtin C type is
+ 32 bits wide
+ - new test, BASH_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T, to check which builtin C type is
+ appropriate for pointer arithmetic
+
+configure.in
+ - check sizes of int and long, and for the existence of an int32_t
+ basic system type. Call BASH_TYPE_INT32_T if int32_t is not
+ defined anywhere in the system header files
+ - check size of (char *), and for the existence of a ptrdiff_t
+ basic system type. Call BASH_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T if ptrdiff_t is not
+ defined anywhere in the system header files
+ - added a check for <stddef.h>
+
+config.h.in
+ - add lines for SIZEOF_INT, SIZEOF_LONG, SIZEOF_CHAR_P, int32_t,
+ u_int32_t, and ptrdiff_t
+ - added line for HAVE_STDDEF_H
+
+lib/malloc/malloc.c
+ - new version, with many changes and much better memory usage; old
+ (bash-2.01) version is lib/malloc/omalloc.c
+
+lib/malloc/gmalloc.c
+ - new version, with a number of changes and range checking included
+ by default; old (bash-2.01) version is lib/malloc/ogmalloc.c
+
+execute_cmd.c
+ - applied patch from 5/27 to make execute_simple_command fork early
+ if it's part of a pipeline. This keeps assignment statements or
+ other commands that don't require a builtin, function, or disk
+ command to be executed from modifying the shell's environment
+
+tests/exec?.sub
+ - renamed from tests/execscript.sub? because those filenames are
+ too long for System V 14-char filename systems
+
+tests/source?.sub
+ - renamed from tests/source.sub? because those filenames are bad
+ for DOS/Windows
+
+tests/getopts?.sub

+ for DOS/Windows
+
+tests/histexp.{tests,right}
+ - renamed from histexpand.{tests,right} because those filenames are

+
+tests/ifs-[123].right
+ - renamed from ifs.[123].right because those filenames were bad for
+ DOS/Windows
+
+tests/ifs-[123].test
+ - renamed from ifs-test-[123].sh because those filenames were bad
+ for DOS/Windows
+
+examples/startup-files/Bashrc.bfox
+ - renamed from examples/startup-files/Bashrc because that filename
+ conflicts with examples/startup-files/bashrc on case-insensitive
+ file systems
+
+tests/exec.right
+ - renamed from execscript.right because that filename is too long
+ for System V 14-char filename systems
+
+tests/run-set-e
+ - renamed from run-set-e-test
+
+tests/misc/perftest
+ - renamed from tests/misc/haertel.perftest because that filename is
+ too long for System V 14-char filename systems
+
+lib/glob/fnmatch.c
+ - new version with full POSIX.2 BRE matching (character classes,
+ collating symbols, equivalence classes), full support for
+ strcoll(3), and case-insensitive pattern matching
+
+lib/glob/fnmatch.h
+ - new version, with necessary symbols for the new fnmatch.c
+
+tests/posixpat.{tests,right}, tests/run-posixpat
+ - test suite for the POSIX.2 BRE pattern matching code
+
+variables.c
+ - make sure that array assignment using the compound syntax empties
+ the array before doing the assignment
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+trap.c
+ - new function, trap_to_sighandler(sig), which returns the correct
+ trap handler for SIG depending on the information in sigmodes[sig]
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+sig.h
+ - extern declarations for trap_handler and trap_to_sighandler
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+jobs.c
+ - if we get an interrupt while waiting for a command to complete,
+ and there was a trap set on SIGINT that resets the handler to
+ SIG_DFL, the value that waitchld uses for old_trap_handler will
+ be wrong (it will be trap_handler, but trap_handler no longer
+ knows anything about SIGINT). If old_signal_handler is trap_handler,
+ but signal_is_trapped(SIGINT) returns 0, we need to call
+ trap_to_sighandler to decide what to do
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+ 7/7
+ ---
+locale.c
+ - fix to set_locale_var to handle an assignment to LC_ALL (e.g., as
+ the result of `unset LANG') when default_locale is null
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+ 7/8
+ ---
+builtins/umask.def, doc/{bash.{1,html},bashref.texi}
+ - added `-p' option for umask to print output in a reusable form
+
+ 7/9
+ ---
+doc/{bash.{1,html},bashref.texi}
+ - removed descriptions of `-type', `-path', and `-all' options to
+ the `type' builtin in preparation for removing them in the next
+ release
+
+builtins/type.def
+ - removed mention of `-type', `-path', and `-all' options from the
+ long help description
+
+error.c, error.h
+ - new function: internal_warning, for warning messages
+
+variables.c
+ - changed a call to internal_error to use internal_warning
+ - modified change of 7/3 so that arrays are not emptied until
+ just before the shell is about to assign the new values, so
+ the old value can be used to generate the rhs of the assignment,
+ if necessary. This is how `normal' shell variables work
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+jobs.c, jobs.h
+ - delete_job now takes a second int argument and prints a warning
+ message when deleting a stopped job if the second argument is
+ non-zero
+
+jobs.c, builtins/jobs.def
+ - changed all calls to delete_job to provide a proper second arg
+
+lib/readline/bind.c
+ - broke rl_read_init_file into an `upper' and `lower' half in
+ preparation for adding file inclusion capability to inputrc
+ parsing
+ - handle_parser_directive now displays an error message if an
+ unknown directive is encountered
+ - parser_endif now prints an error message if an $endif without
+ a matching $if is found
+ - added `$include' parser directive to read bindings and commands
+ from another file at that point
+
+lib/readline/doc/rluser.texinfo, doc/{bash.{1,html},readline.3}
+ - documented new readline `$include' parser directive

+
+doc/{bash.{1,html},bashref.texi}
+ - documented new `--dump-po-strings' invocation option
+
+lib/readline/{{kill,funmap}.c,readline.h}
+ - added `rl_paste_from_clipboard()', bound to `paste-from-clipboard'
+ for CYGWIN32 users
+
+lib/readline/kill.c
+ - incorporated bfox's patches for `iterative' yank-last-arg handling.
+ This means that one can keep pressing M-. and move backwards in
+ the history, yanking the last argument of successive history lines
+
+lib/readline/rlwinsize.h
+ - new file, encapsulates various locations of the definition for
+ `struct winsize'
+
+aclocal.m4
+ - augmented BASH_STRUCT_WINSIZE to look in termios.h as well as
+ sys/ioctl.h for definition of `struct winsize'
+
+lib/readline/rltty.h
+ - include "rlwinsize.h" after including tty-driver-specific header
+ file
+
+ 7/10
+ ----
+support/config.guess
+ - add better support for SunOS on M68K (old Sun3 machines)
+
+parse.y
+ - check for compound array assignment in read_token_word only if
+ there are characters before the `=' (which would make it a legal
+ assignment statement). This fixes the problem with defining a
+ function named `=' with `=() { echo foo; }'
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+jobs.c, jobs.h
+ - nohup_all_jobs and delete_all_jobs now take a parameter which
+ says whether or not to restrict their operation to only running
+ jobs
+
+jobs.c
+ - changed all calls to delete_all_jobs
+
+builtins/jobs.def
+ - added `-a' (all jobs) and `-r' (running jobs only) options to
+ `disown'
+
+doc/{bash.{1,html},bashref.texi}
+ - documented new `-a' and `-r' options to `disown'
+
+findcmd.c, findcmd.h

+print_cmd.c
+ - make sure single_quote is called from xtrace_print_word_list
+ to correctly quote each word of trace output, especially those
+ with embedded quotes
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+aclocal.m4
+ - extended BASH_CHECK_GETPW_FUNCS so that it checks that getpwuid
+ and getpwnam can also be declared, as well as getpwent
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+ - in BASH_FUNC_PRINTF, cast printf to type `_bashfunc' before trying
+ to assign it to `pf' to avoid any prototype problems in the
+ declaration
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+trap.c
+ - include <unistd.h> before any of the bash-specific header files,
+ but after config.h
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+test.c
+ - include <errno.h> and declare `extern int errno' before including
+ any of the bash-specific include files, but after <unistd.h>
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+builtins/Makefile.in
+ - PROFILE_FLAGS is now substituted into the Makefile by configure
+
+configure.in
+ - new options, --enable-profiling and --enable-static-link, to turn
+ on profiling with gprof and link bash statically (if using gcc)
+ for use as a root shell. The former implies the latter. If
+ we're linking statically, dynamic loading of new builtins is not
+ available
+
+doc/bashref.texi
+ - documented new --enable-profiling and --enable-static-link
+ options in installation section; regenerated INSTALL
+
+lib/glob/glob.[ch]
+ - new global variable, glob_ignore_case, turns on case-insensitive
+ filename matching in fnmatch() using the FNM_CASEFOLD flag
+
+doc/{bash.{1,html},bashref.texi}
+ - documented new shopt `nocaseglob' option
+
+ 7/15

+ the resultant filenames is performed
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+ 7/16

+externs.h, oslib.c
+ - strcasecmp and strncasecmp replacements should have `const char *'

+ its place
+
+support/config.guess

+
+doc/{bash.{1,html},bashref.texi}

+ - prefer /var/spool/mail to /usr/spool/mail in BASH_DEFAULT_MAIL_DIR
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+lib/readline/{complete,bind}.c
+ - new readline variable, print-completions-horizontally, which causes
+ matches to be printed across the screen (like `ls -x') rather than
+ up-and-down (like `ls')
+ - new readline variable, completion-ignore-case, which causes filename
+ completion and matching to be performed case-insensitively
+
+doc/{bash.{1,html},readline.3}, lib/readline/doc/rluser.texinfo
+ - documented new print-completions-horizontally variable
+ - documented new completion-ignore-case variable
+
+_distribution, Makefile.in
+ - bumped the version number up to 2.02-alpha1
+
+bracecomp.c
+ - fixes so that the braces are not quoted by the filename quoting
+ function when complete-into-braces is executed with M-{. The
+ brace completion functions do filename quoting themselves
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+pathexp.c
+ - changed quote_string_for_globbing so that it takes a flags word
+ as its second argument
+
+pathexp.h
+ - defines for flags passed to quote_string_for_globbing
+
+subst.c,execute_cmd.c
+ - changed calls to quote_string_for_globbing to pass the correct
+ flag arguments
+
+expr.c
+ - added a `**' binary operator to do exponentiation (2**16 == 65536).
+ precedence is lower than arithmetic operators, higher than unary
+ operators (2**16-1 == 65535)
+
+doc/{bash.{1,html},bashref.texi}
+ - documented new `**' arithmetic binary operator
+
+ 7/24
+ ----
+shell.c
+ - added new (currently undocumented) `--wordexp' option to do the
+ job required by POSIX.2 wordexp(). If -n is supplied along with
+ --wordexp, command substitution is disallowed and the shell
+ exits with a status of 125 if one is attempted. If there is an
+ expansion error, the shell exits with a status of 127. If there
+ is a shell parsing error, the shell exits with a status of 126.
+ Otherwise, the exit status is 0. The current output is
+
+ number of words\n
+ number of bytes\n
+ expanded words, one per line, separated by newlines
+
+ This will have to be changed when an interface to glibc is coded
+
+ 7/28

+
+variables.c
+ - fix to make $RANDOM work better in subshells
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+aclocal.m4

+ <signal.h> and <unistd.h>, defines UNDER_SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED if
+ found
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+ - change BASH_UNDER_SYS_SIGLIST to require BASH_DECL_UNDER_SYS_SIGLIST,

+
+config.h.in
+ - add a line for UNDER_SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED
+ [in bash-2.01.1]

+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+ 7/29
+ ----
+command.h
+ - new command type, ARITH_COM, used to create and execute a ((...))
+ command without translating it into let "..."
+
+parse.y
+ - changes to the grammar and lexer so that ((...)) is parsed as a
+ command of type ARITH_CMD. An ARITH_CMD is a WORD_LIST, for
+ future expansion, even though only the first word is used
+
+make_cmd.c, make_cmd.h
+ - definition and declaration of a function to build an arithmetic
+ command
+
+dispose_cmd.c
+ - added code to dispose of arithmetic commands

+ when they're being traced with `set -x'
+
+externs.h
+ - extern declaration for xtrace_print_arith_cmd
+
+copy_cmd.c
+ - added code to copy arithmetic commands
+
+execute_cmd.c
+ - added code to directly execute arithmetic commands -- they are
+ a shell_control_structure, so just about everything like
+ redirections and piping is taken care of by the boilerplate code.
+ All that's needed is to expand the expression (which is within
+ double quotes -- added by parse.y:parse_arith_cmd()), print it
+ if tracing is enabled, call the expression evaluator, and return
+ an appropriate result
+
+ 7/30
+ ----
+input.c
+ - new function, set_buffered_stream(fd, bp), sets the buffered stream
+ associated with FD to BP and returns the old buffered stream
+
+input.h
+ - extern declaration for set_buffered_stream
+
+parse.y
+ - call set_buffered_stream rather than manipulating the BUFFERS array
+ directly
+
+shell.c
+ - unset_bash_input now takes an argument, CHECK_ZERO. This tells it
+ whether to check whether default_buffered_input is >= 0 or just > 0
+
+externs.h
+ - changed extern declaration for unset_bash_input
+
+execute_cmd.c, jobs.c, nojobs.c
+ - changed calls to unset_bash_input to add appropriate argument
+
+input.h
+ - #undef B_* before defining them as flag values for b_flags. Some
+ systems, like SVR4, have a B_ERROR define in a file included by
+ jobs.c and nojobs.c, and it causes a warning
+
+ 7/31

+fnmatch.c
+ - rewrote most of fnmatch(), so that it now implements ksh-88 style

+
+fnmatch.h
+ - added a define for FNM_EXTMATCH
+

+pathexp.c, pathexp.h
+ - new global variable, extended_glob, controls whether the extended

+
+ 8/13
+ ----
+tests/{printf.{right,tests},run-printf}
+ - extensive test suite for the new `printf' builtin
+
+builtins/Makefile.in
+ - change so that `builtext.h' is not recreated every time the source
+ file for a builtin is changed if the contents are the same. This
+ keeps many files from being recompiled
+
+ 8/14
+ ----
+subst.c
+ - changed verify_substring_values so that it returns -1 for substring

+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+ - changed parameter_brace_substring to return an error if
+ verify_substring_values returns 0, and a null string if it returns
+ -1. This matches the ksh93 behavior
+ [in bash-2.01.1]
+
+trap.c
+ - changed decode_signal so that it makes sure the first three

+ This function returns a string, which may contain characters
+ quoted with CTLESC or CTLNUL without doing word splitting
+ - changed expand_word_internal to not remove the expansion of "$*"

+ non-zero, tells readline to erase the contents of the current line,
+ prompt and all, if the only character typed to an otherwise-blank
+ line is bound to rl_newline. Requested by the Cygnus GDB folks.
+ - change to rl_newline to suppress the call to _rl_update_final if
+ rl_erase_empty_line is non-zero, and rl_point == rl_end == 0, since
+ _rl_update_final calls crlf()
+ - change to readline_internal_charloop to call _rl_erase_entire_line

+nojobs.c
+ - changed to use functions in lib/sh/shtty.c (tt{get,set}attr) for

+ particular process is still alive; PROC_RUNNING is reset by
+ set_pid_status
+ - new function, mark_dead_jobs_as_notified, same function as the one
+ in jobs.c
+ - cleanup_dead_jobs reaps jobs only if they're dead and not marked
+ as notified
+ - wait_for_background pids marks all pids as notified and reaps them
+ before it returns, since it's called by the `wait' builtin
+ - wait_for_single_pid marks the pid being waited for as notified so
+ its slot can be reclaimed -- it's only called by the `wait' builtin

+ - change from tbisp@uswest.net to fix a problem with cygwin and
+ here_document_to_fd, since cygwin doesn't allow a file to be
+ unlinked if there is a descriptor open on it
+
+display.c

+ a prompt containing invisible characters in update_line. Fixes
+ bug reported by bdluevel@heitec.net
+
+ 9/29
+ ----
+shell.c
+ - fixed a problem with a too-aggressive setting of restricted shell
+ mode based on shell_name. Old code set `restricted' even after a
+ longjmp due to shell_execve trying to execute an executable script
+ without a leading `#!', though that case should result in an
+ unrestricted shell
+
+ 10/2
+ ----
+copy_cmd.c
+ - make sure copy_function_def copies the `flags' and `line' members
+ of the function_def
+
+parse.y
+ - make the function_def production take a new function_body parse
+ unit, which is currently just a group_command (in prep for future
+ changes)
+
+builtins/printf.def
+ - changed getint, getlong, getulong, getdouble to print warnings on
+ range errors and return the clamped values that strtol/strtod
+ return, as POSIX.2 specifies
+
+ 10/3
+ ----
+parse.y
+ - made a function_def a `command' instead of a `shell_command'
+ This makes the grammar more closely resemble that supplied in
+ the POSIX.2 standard
+ - made a `function_body' be like the function_body production in
+ the POSIX.2 standard. This relaxes the restriction that the
+ body be composed of a group_command, but introduces a YACC
+ shift/reduce conflict
+
+print_cmd.c
+ - changes to named_function_string (for normal function printing)
+ and print_function_def (for printing function definitions embedded
+ in other commands) to print redirections that should be attached
+ to the function as a whole after the closing brace, because of
+ the changes to the parser
+
+tests/func2.sub
+ - tests for new function declarations whose bodies are not group
+ commands -- the command printing code still prints them with the
+ braces
+
+ 10/4
+ ----
+lib/sh/pathphys.c
+ - new function, sh_physpath, resolves symlinks in pathname passed
+ as argument
+
+builtins/cd.def
+ - changed pwd_builtin to use sh_physpath if -P supplied or in
+ physical mode
+ - changed bindpwd to use sh_physpath if the no_symlinks argument is
+ non-zero
+ - changed change_to_directory to use sh_physpath and set
+ the_current_working_directory appropriately if the `nolinks'
+ argument is non-zero
+
+ 10/5
+ ----
+variables.c, bashline.c, builtins/cd.def
+ - replaced calls to canonicalize_pathname with sh_canonpath
+
+builtins/cd.def
+ - rewrote change_to_directory to make it much shorter and simpler
+
+command.h
+ - added SUBSHELL_PIPE as possible flag value for subshell_environment
+
+execute_cmd.c
+ - execute_simple_command sets SUBSHELL_PIPE in subshell_environment
+ if the command has a pipe in or out
+
+subst.c

+ we're already in a pipline

+
+ 10/6
+ ----
+subst.c

+lib/sh/spell.c

+ -----
+builtins/read.def

+
+shell.c
+ - in open_shell_script, set mode of fd opened to the shell script
+ to O_TEXT if __CYGWIN__ and O_TEXT are both defined
+

+ -----
+lib/sh/strtrans.c, stringlib.c
+ - moved ansicstr() from stringlib.c to new file lib/sh/strtrans.c

+
+lib/sh/strindex.c, stringlib.c
+ - moved strindex() from stringlib.c to new file lib/sh/strindex.c
+
+lib/sh/Makefile.in

+ - compile `strtrans.c' in as part of the shell library
+ - compile `strindex.c' in as part of the shell library
+
+Makefile.in
+ - link with libsh before any of the readline libraries
+
+builtins/common.c
+ - removed the functions also appearing in lib/sh/shquote.c
+
+externs.h, builtins/common.h
+ - moved extern declarations for functions in lib/sh/shquote.c to
+ externs.h from builtins/common.h
+
+variables.c
+ - print_var_value (used in the output of `set') now calls
+ ansic_quote to quote the value, so any non-printable characters

+ -----
+syntax.h
+ - new file, with definitions from shell.h having to do with shell
+ syntax, metacharacters, and quoting
+

+ - moved defines for shell metachars and other char class declarations
+ to syntax.h
+
+shell.h
+ - now includes syntax.h
+
+Makefile.in,builtins/Makefile.in,lib/sh/Makefile.in
+ - added syntax.h to appropriate dependency lists

+mksyntax.c
+ - new program, to build a syntax table for the shell at compile time
+
+Makefile.in
+ - new generated file, syntax.c, generated by mksyntax
+
+general.h
+ - `digit(x)' is now just defined as `isdigit(x)'
+
+syntax.h
+ - now that we have sh_syntaxtab[], change the appropriate defines
+ to use it
+
+parse.y, subst.c
+ - change checks of member(c, slashify_in_quotes) to test
+ sh_syntaxtab[c] & CBSDQUOTE
+
+builtins/set.def
+ - corrected the help text for `unset', since PATH and IFS may be
+ unset
+
+subst.c
+ - changed explicit tests for shell special parameters using member()
+ or strchr() to test (sh_syntaxtab[c] & CSPECVAR) instead
+ - changed some boilerplate calls to member() that test for validity
+ of various characters in the expansion process to macros for
+ efficiency
+
+lib/sh/shquote.c
+ - changed some of the functions to use checks against sh_syntaxtab[]
+ flag values
+
+ 10/19
+ -----
+findcmd.c
+ - find_user_command_in_path no longer finds directories if the caller
+ specified FS_NODIRS in the flags argument. This fixes the bug of
+ hashing directory names, at the loss of some information about
+ attempting to execute directories
+
+builtins/hash.def
+ - hash -p dirname name no longer puts directories into the hash table
+
+ 10/26
+ -----
+builtins/read.def
+ - make sure that the last unwind-protect added is the one that calls
+ xfree(input_string), so that this is the top element on the
+ unwind-protect stack
+ - if xrealloc() is called to increase the size of input_string, make
+ sure to remove the top element from the unwind-protect stack (the
+ old xfree) and add a new one, in case realloc() freed the original
+ input_string and allocated new space. This fixes the bug of bash
+ crashing because it's trying to free already-freed memory if the
+ `read' is interrupted (reported by klausf@Pool.Informatik.RWTH-Aachen.DE)
+
+ 10/27
+ -----
+subst.c
+ - fixed a problem in expand_word_list_internal so that
+ last_command_exit_value is set to 1 if a variable assignment fails
+ and a jump_to_top_level (DISCARD) is taken. This fixes the problem
+ of assignment statements to read-only variables appearing to succeed
+ (though it always worked right in non-interactive posix-mode shells)
+
+ 10/30
+ -----
+lib/readline/readline.h

+ - `$' is not in the default value of history_word_delimiters
+
+ 3/13
+ ----
+bashline.c
+ - in maybe_add_history, if the tests for HISTCONTROL succeed, but
+ the HISTIGNORE check fails, set first_line_saved to 0
+
+ 3/15
+ ----
+
+lib/glob/fnmatch.c
+ - fixed a bug in patscan that caused `[' to be treated as special
+ even inside a nested bracket expression. It's supposed to lose
+ it's special handling inside []
+ - fixed a bug in patscan that caused `]' to end an embedded bracket
+ expression even if it was the first character after the `[' (or
+ a leading `!' or `^')
+
+ 3/22
+ ----
+execute_cmd.c
+ - made a small change to shell_execve to report a more user-friendly
+ error if execve(2) fails because of a `#! interpreter' error with
+ `interpreter'
+ - in shell_execve, if HAVE_HASH_BANG_EXEC is not defined, make sure
+ the file length is > 2 characters before attempting to execute an
+ interpreter
+
+ 3/26
+ ----
+jobs.c, nojobs.c
+ - give_terminal_to now takes a second argument, FORCE. If that
+ second argument is non-zero, give the terminal away no matter
+ what job_control is set to
+
+jobs.h
+ - changed extern declaration of give_terminal_to
+
+{jobs,sig,subst}.c,parse.y
+ - changed all calls to give_terminal_to to add a second argument
+ of 0
+
+jobs.c
+ - changed second argument of call to give_terminal_to in
+ end_job_control to 1, to force this even if job_control is 0.
+ This fixes the problem of `exec other-job-control-shell' in a
+ startup file hanging, since run_startup_files sets job_control to 0
+
+subst.c
+ - fixed test of subshell_environment in command_substitute to test the
+ bit SUBSHELL_ASYNC rather than test equality, since it's now a
+ bitmask
+
+ 3/27
+ ----
+shell.c
+ - changed posix initialization calls to set POSIXLY_CORRECT=y and
+ then call sv_strict_posix, so $SHELLOPTS includes `posix' and
+ POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, for both the posix command line options
+ and when act_like_sh is non-zero
+
+redir.c
+ - the `>& filename' redirection now works in posix mode, redirecting
+ stdout and stderr, since POSIX.2 leaves it unspecified
+
+doc/bashref.texi
+ - removed item about `>& filename' from Bash POSIX Mode section
+
+parse.y
+ - fixed a problem in decode_prompt_string with `\W' not printing
+ anything if PWD == "//"
+
+lib/readline/input.c
+ - in rl_read_key, after calling (*rl_event_hook), check for rl_done
+ being set, and return '\n' if it is
+
+Makefile.in
+ - changed RELSTATUS to `release'
+
+ 3/28
+ ----
+support/bashbug.sh
+ - replace use of $(...) with `...` for the benefit of old versions
+ of sh
+
+builtins/set.def
+ - changed print_all_shell_variables to not print shell function names
+ and definitions when in posix mode
+
+doc/bashref.texi
+ - noted change in `set' behavior in posix mode section
+
+ 4/2
+ ---
+lib/readline/readline.c
