Fixed a bug that caused a redirection to misbehave if the number specified - for a file descriptor overflows an intmax_t. - -xx. Fixed several bugs with the handling of valid and invalid unicode character - values when used with the \u and \U escape sequences to printf and $'...'. - -yy. Fixed a bug that caused tildes to not be escaped in expanded filenames, - making them subject to later expansion. - -zz. When using the pattern substitution word expansion, bash now runs the - replacement string through quote removal, since it allows quotes in that - string to act as escape characters.

Fixed a bug where turning off `errexit' in command substitution subshells - was not reflected in $SHELLOPTS. - -dddd. Partially fixed an inconsistency in how the shell treated shell - functions run from an EXIT trap. - -eeee. Fixed a bug in how the shell invalidated FIFOs used for process - substitution when executing a pipeline (once rather than in every child). - -ffff. Fixed a bug that occurred when expanding a special variable ($@, $*) - within double quotes and the expansion resulted in an empty string. - -gggg. Fixed bugs with executing a SIGCHLD trap handler to make sure that it's - executed once per exited child. - -hhhh.

Fixed a problem that caused IFS changes using ${IFS:=value} to modify - how preceding expansions were split. - -tttt. Fixed a problem that caused subshells to not run an EXIT trap they set. - -uuuu. Fixed a problem that caused shells started in posix mode to attempt to - import shell functions with invalid names from the environment. We now - print a warning. - -vvvv. Worked around a kernel problem that caused SIGCHLD to interrupt open(2) - on a FIFO used for process substitution, even if the SIGCHLD handler was - installed with the SA_RESTART flag. - -wwww.

Fixed a bug that caused readline to try and run code to modify its idea - of the screen size in a signal handler context upon receiving a SIGWINCH. - -d. Fixed a bug that caused the `meta' key to be enabled beyond the duration - of an individual call top readline(). - -e. Added a workaround for a wcwidth bug in Mac OS X that caused readline's - redisplay to mishandle zero-width combining characters. - -f. Fixed a bug that caused readline to `forget' part of a key sequence when - a multiple-key sequence caused it to break out of an incremental search. - -g. Fixed bugs that caused readline to execute code in a signal handler - context if interrupted while reading from the file system during completion. - -h. Fixed a bug that caused readline to `forget' part of a key sequence when - reading an unbound multi-character key sequence. - -i. Fixed a bug that caused Readline's signal handlers to be installed beyond - the bounds of a single call to readline(). - -j.

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, so `help read' - does not match `readonly'. - -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} operators to [[ do string comparisons using the current locale - only if the compatibility level is greater than 40 (set to 41 by default). - -4. New Features in Readline - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-4.1-alpha, -and the previous version, bash-4.0-release. - -1.

Fixed a bug that prevented the |& construct from working as intended when - used with a simple command with additional redirections. - -l. Fixed a bug with the case statment ;& terminator that caused the shell to - dereference a NULL pointer. - -m. Fixed a bug that caused assignment statements or redirections preceding - a simple command name to inhibit alias expansion. - -n. Fixed the behavior of `set -u' to conform to the latest Posix interpretation: - every expansion of an unset variable except $@ and $* will cause the - shell to exit. - -o. Fixed a bug that caused double-quoted expansions of $* inside word - expansions like ${x#$*} to not expand properly when $IFS is empty. - -p. Fixed a bug that caused traps to set $LINENO to the wrong value when they - execute. - -q. Fixed a bug that caused off-by-one errors when computing history lines in - the `fc' builtin. - -r. Fixed a bug that caused some terminating signals to not exit the shell - quickly enough, forcing the kernel to send the signal (e.g., SIGSEGV) - multiple times. - -s. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to attempt to add empty lines to the - history list when reading here documents. - -t. Made some internal changes that dramatically speeds up sequential indexed - array access. - -u. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to write past the end of a string when - completing a double-quoted string ending in a backslash. - -v.

Fixed bugs in the expansion of ** that caused duplicate directory names - and the contents of the current directory to be omitted. - -x. Fixed a bug that caused $? to not be set correctly when referencing an - unset variable with set -u and set -e enabled. - -y. Fixed a bug caused by executing an external program from the DEBUG trap - while a pipeline was running. The effect was to disturb the pipeline - state, occasionally causing it to hang. - -z. Fixed a bug that caused the ** glob expansion to dump core if it - encountered an unsearchable directory. - -aa. Fixed a bug that caused `command -v' and `command -V' to not honor the - path set by the -p option. - -bb. Fixed a bug that caused brace expansion to take place too soon in some - compound array assignments. - -cc. Fixed a bug that caused programmable completion functions' changes to - READLINE_POINT to not be reflected back to readline. - -dd. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to dump core if a trap was executed - during a shell assignment statement. - -ee. Fixed an off-by-one error when computing the number of positional - parameters for the ${@:0:n} expansion. - -ff. Fixed a problem with setting COMP_CWORD for programmable completion - functions that could leave it set to -1. - -gg. Fixed a bug that caused the ERR trap to be triggered in some cases where - `set -e' would not have caused the shell to exit. - -hh. Fixed a bug that caused changes made by `compopt' to not persist past the - completion function in which compopt was executed. - -ii. Fixed a bug that caused the list of hostname completions to not be cleared - when HOSTNAME was unset. - -jj. Fixed a bug that caused variable expansion in here documents to look in - any temporary environment. - -kk. Bash and readline can now convert file names between precomposed and - decomposed Unicode on Mac OS X ("keyboard" and file system forms, - respectively). This affects filename completion (using new - rl_filename_rewrite_hook), globbing, and readline redisplay. - -ll. The ERR and EXIT traps now see a non-zero value for $? when a parser - error after set -e has been enabled causes the shell to exit. - -mm. Fixed a bug that in brace expansion that caused zero-prefixed terms to - not contain the correct number of digits. - -nn.

Fixed a memory leak in the ${!prefix@} expansion. - -pp. Fixed a bug that caused printf to not correctly report all write errors. - -qq. Fixed a bug that caused single and double quotes to act as delimiters - when splitting a command line into words for programmable completion. - -rr. Fixed a bug that caused ** globbing that caused **/path/* to match every - directory, not just those matching `path'. - -ss. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to dump core when running `help' without - arguments if the terminal width was fewer than 7 characters. - -2. Changes to Readline - -a.

Fixed a bug that caused history expansion to short-circuit after - encountering a multibyte character. - -3. New Features in Bash - -a. Here-documents within $(...) command substitutions may once more be - delimited by the closing right paren, instead of requiring a newline. - -b. Bash's file status checks (executable, readable, etc.) now take file - system ACLs into account on file systems that support them. - -c. Bash now passes environment variables with names that are not valid - shell variable names through into the environment passed to child - processes. - -d. The `execute-unix-command' readline function now attempts to clear and - reuse the current line rather than move to a new one after the command - executes. - -e. `printf -v' can now assign values to array indices. - -f. New `complete -E' and `compopt -E' options that work on the "empty" - completion: completion attempted on an empty command line. - -g. New complete/compgen/compopt -D option to define a `default' completion: - a completion to be invoked on command for which no completion has been - defined. If this function returns 124, programmable completion is - attempted again, allowing a user to dynamically build a set of completions - as completion is attempted by having the default completion function - install individual completion functions each time it is invoked. - -h. When displaying associative arrays, subscripts are now quoted. - -i. Changes to dabbrev-expand to make it more `emacs-like': no space appended - after matches, completions are not sorted, and most recent history entries - are presented first. - -j.

The < and > operators to the [[ conditional command now do string - comparison according to the current locale. - -r. Programmable completion now uses the completion for `b' instead of `a' - when completion is attempted on a line like: a $(b c. - -s. Force extglob on temporarily when parsing the pattern argument to - the == and != operators to the [[ command, for compatibility. - -t. Changed the behavior of interrupting the wait builtin when a SIGCHLD is - received and a trap on SIGCHLD is set to be Posix-mode only. - -u.

When in vi command mode, repeatedly hitting ESC now does nothing, even - when ESC introduces a bound key sequence. This is closer to how - historical vi behaves. - -d. New bindable function: skip-csi-sequence. Can be used as a default to - consume key sequences generated by keys like Home and End without having - to bind all keys. - -e. New application-settable function: rl_filename_rewrite_hook. Can be used - to rewite or modify filenames read from the file system before they are - compared to the word to be completed. - -f. New bindable variable: skip-completed-text, active when completing in the - middle of a word. If enabled, it means that characters in the completion - that match characters in the remainder of the word are "skipped" rather - than inserted into the line. - -g. The pre-readline-6.0 version of menu completion is available as - "old-menu-complete" for users who do not like the readline-6.0 version. - -h. New bindable variable: echo-control-characters. If enabled, and the - tty ECHOCTL bit is set, controls the echoing of characters corresponding - to keyboard-generated signals. - -i. New bindable variable: enable-meta-key. Controls whether or not readline - sends the smm/rmm sequences if the terminal indicates it has a meta key - that enables eight-bit characters. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-4.0-release, -and the previous version, bash-4.0-rc1. - -1.

Fixed a bug that could cause strings not converted to numbers by strtol - to be treated as if the conversion had been successful. - -d. The `return' builtin now accepts no options and requires a `--' before - a negative return value, as Posix requires. - -e. Fixed a bug that caused local variables to be created with the empty - string for a value rather than no value. - -f. Changed behavior so the shell now acts as if it received an interrupt - when a pipeline is killed by SIGINT while executing a list. - -g.

There is a new variable, $BASHPID, which always returns the process id of - the current shell. - -d. There is a new `autocd' option that, when enabled, causes bash to attempt - to `cd' to a directory name that is supplied as the first word of a - simple command. - -e. There is a new `checkjobs' option that causes the shell to check for and - report any running or stopped jobs at exit. - -f. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_TYPE variable, set to - a character describing the type of completion being attempted. - -g. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_KEY variable, set to - the character that caused the completion to be invoked (e.g., TAB). - -h. If creation of a child process fails due to insufficient resources, bash - will try again several times before reporting failure. - -i. The programmable completion code now uses the same set of characters as - readline when breaking the command line into a list of words. - -j. The block multiplier for the ulimit -c and -f options is now 512 when in - Posix mode, as Posix specifies. - -k. Changed the behavior of the read builtin to save any partial input received - in the specified variable when the read builtin times out. This also - results in variables specified as arguments to read to be set to the empty - string when there is no input available. When the read builtin times out, - it returns an exit status greater than 128. - -l. The shell now has the notion of a `compatibility level', controlled by - new variables settable by `shopt'. Setting this variable currently - restores the bash-3.1 behavior when processing quoted strings on the rhs - of the `=~' operator to the `[[' command. - -m. The `ulimit' builtin now has new -b (socket buffer size) and -T (number - of threads) options. - -n. The -p option to `declare' now displays all variable values and attributes - (or function values and attributes if used with -f). - -o.

There is a new `mapfile' builtin to populate an array with lines from a - given file. - -v. If a command is not found, the shell attempts to execute a shell function - named `command_not_found_handle', supplying the command words as the - function arguments. - -w. There is a new shell option: `globstar'. When enabled, the globbing code - treats `**' specially -- it matches all directories (and files within - them, when appropriate) recursively. - -x. There is a new shell option: `dirspell'. When enabled, the filename - completion code performs spelling correction on directory names during - completion. - -y. The `-t' option to the `read' builtin now supports fractional timeout - values. - -z. Brace expansion now allows zero-padding of expanded numeric values and - will add the proper number of zeroes to make sure all values contain the - same number of digits. - -aa. There is a new bash-specific bindable readline function: `dabbrev-expand'. - It uses menu completion on a set of words taken from the history list. - -bb. The command assigned to a key sequence with `bind -x' now sets two new - variables in the environment of the executed command: READLINE_LINE_BUFFER - and READLINE_POINT. The command can change the current readline line - and cursor position by modifying READLINE_LINE_BUFFER and READLINE_POINT, - respectively. - -cc. There is a new &>> redirection operator, which appends the standard output - and standard error to the named file. - -dd. The parser now understands `|&' as a synonym for `2>&1 |', which redirects - the standard error for a command through a pipe. - -ee. The new `;&' case statement action list terminator causes execution to - continue with the action associated with the next pattern in the - statement rather than terminating the command. - -ff. The new `;;&' case statement action list terminator causes the shell to - test the next set of patterns after completing execution of the current - action, rather than terminating the command. - -gg. The shell understands a new variable: PROMPT_DIRTRIM. When set to an - integer value greater than zero, prompt expansion of \w and \W will - retain only that number of trailing pathname components and replace - the intervening characters with `...'. - -hh. There are new case-modifying word expansions: uppercase (^[^]) and - lowercase (,[,]). They can work on either the first character or - array element, or globally. They accept an optional shell pattern - that determines which characters to modify. There is an optionally- - configured feature to include capitalization operators. - -ii. The shell provides associative array variables, with the appropriate - support to create, delete, assign values to, and expand them. - -jj. The `declare' builtin now has new -l (convert value to lowercase upon - assignment) and -u (convert value to uppercase upon assignment) options. - There is an optionally-configurable -c option to capitalize a value at - assignment. - -kk. There is a new `coproc' reserved word that specifies a coprocess: an - asynchronous command run with two pipes connected to the creating shell. - Coprocs can be named. The input and output file descriptors and the - PID of the coprocess are available to the calling shell in variables - with coproc-specific names. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a. A new variable, rl_sort_completion_matches; allows applications to inhibit - match list sorting (but beware: some things don't work right if - applications do this). - -b. A new variable, rl_completion_invoking_key; allows applications to discover - the key that invoked rl_complete or rl_menu_complete. - -c. The functions rl_block_sigint and rl_release_sigint are now public and - available to calling applications who want to protect critical sections - (like redisplay). - -d. The functions rl_save_state and rl_restore_state are now public and - available to calling applications; documented rest of readline's state - flag values. - -e. A new user-settable variable, `history-size', allows setting the maximum - number of entries in the history list. - -f. There is a new implementation of menu completion, with several improvements - over the old; the most notable improvement is a better `completions - browsing' mode. - -g. The menu completion code now uses the rl_menu_completion_entry_function - variable, allowing applications to provide their own menu completion - generators. - -h. There is support for replacing a prefix of a pathname with a `...' when - displaying possible completions. This is controllable by setting the - `completion-prefix-display-length' variable. Matches with a common prefix - longer than this value have the common prefix replaced with `...'. - -i. There is a new `revert-all-at-newline' variable. If enabled, readline will - undo all outstanding changes to all history lines when `accept-line' is - executed. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.2-release, -and the previous version, bash-3.2-beta. - -1.

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.

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.

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.

Fixed a bug that caused pathnames with backslashes still quoting characters - to be passed to opendir(). - -c. Command word completion now obeys the setting of completion-ignore-case. - -d. Fixed a problem with redirection that caused file descriptors greater than - 2 to be inappropriately marked as close-on-exec. - -e. In Posix mode, after `wait' is called to wait for a particular process - explicitly, that process is removed from the list of processes known to - the shell, and subsequent attempts to wait for it return errors. - -f.

Fixed the vi-mode `U' command to only undo up to the first time insert mode - was entered, as Posix specifies. - -c. Fixed a bug in the vi-mode `r' command that left the cursor in the wrong - place. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a. New application-callable auxiliary function, rl_variable_value, returns - a string corresponding to a readline variable's value. - -b. When parsing inputrc files and variable binding commands, the parser - strips trailing whitespace from values assigned to boolean variables - before checking them. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.1-beta1, -and the previous version, bash-3.1-alpha1. - -1.

Make sure changes to variables bash handles specially (e.g., LC_ALL) are - made when the variable is modified using `printf -v'. - -g. The export environment is now remade on cygwin when HOME is changed, so - DLLs bash is linked against pick up the new value.

Fixed a problem with the `type' and `command' builtins that caused absolute - pathnames to be displayed incorrectly. - -p. Some changes to the `bg' builtin for POSIX conformance. - -q. The `fc' builtin now removes the `fc' command that caused it to invoke an - editor on specified history entries from the history entirely, rather than - simply ignoring it. - -r. When in POSIX mode, the `v' command in vi editing mode simply invokes vi - on the current command, rather than checking $FCEDIT and $EDITOR. - -s.

Fixed a parser bug in processing \ that caused things like - - ((echo 5) \ - (echo 6)) - - to not work correctly. - -xx. `pwd -P' now sets $PWD to a directory name containing no symbolic links - when in posix mode, as POSIX requires. - -yy. In posix mode, bash no longer sets $PWD to a name containing no symbolic - links if a directory is chosen from $CDPATH. - -zz. The word splitting code now treats an IFS character that is not space, - tab, or newline and any adjacent IFS white space as a single delimiter, as - SUSv3/XPG6 require. - -aaa. The `read' builtin now checks whether or not the number of fields read is - exactly the same as the number of variables instead of just assigning the - rest of the line (minus any trailing IFS white space) to the last - variable. This is what POSIX/SUS/XPG all require. - -bbb. Fixed a bug that caused `read' to always check whether or not fd 0 was a - pipe, even when reading from another file descriptor. - -ccc.

Fixed the vi-mode `r' command (change-char) to have the correct behavior at - end-of-line when manipulating multibyte characters. - -g. Fixed multiple bugs in the redisplay of multibyte characters: displaying - prompts longer than the screen width containing multibyte characters, - -h. Fix the calculation of the number of physical characters in the prompt - string when it contains multibyte characters. - -i. A non-zero value for the `rl_complete_suppress_append' variable now causes - no `/' to be appended to a directory name. - -j. Fixed forward-word and backward-word to work when words contained - multibyte characters. - -k. Fixed a bug in finding the delimiter of a `?' substring when performing - history expansion in a locale that supports multibyte characters. - -l. Fixed a memory leak caused by not freeing the timestamp in a history entry. - -m. Fixed a bug that caused "\M-x" style key bindings to not obey the setting - of the `convert-meta' variable. - -n. Fixed saving and restoring primary prompt when prompting for incremental - and non-incremental searches; search prompts now display multibyte - characters correctly. - -o. Fixed a bug that caused keys originally bound to self-insert but shadowed - by a multi-character key sequence to not be inserted. - -p. Fixed code so rl_prep_term_function and rl_deprep_term_function aren't - dereferenced if NULL (matching the documentation). - -q. Extensive changes to readline to add enough state so that commands - requiring additional characters (searches, multi-key sequences, numeric - arguments, commands requiring an additional specifier character like - vi-mode change-char, etc.) work without synchronously waiting for - additional input. - -r. Lots of changes so readline builds and runs on MinGW. - -s. Readline no longer tries to modify the terminal settings when running in - callback mode. - -t. The Readline display code no longer sets the location of the last invisible - character in the prompt if the \[\] sequence is empty. - -3. New Features in Bash - -a. Bash now understands LC_TIME as a special variable so that time display - tracks the current locale. - -b. BASH_ARGC, BASH_ARGV, BASH_SOURCE, and BASH_LINENO are no longer created - as `invisible' variables and may not be unset. - -c. In POSIX mode, if `xpg_echo' option is enabled, the `echo' builtin doesn't - try to interpret any options at all, as POSIX requires. - -d. The `bg' builtin now accepts multiple arguments, as POSIX seems to specify. - -e. Fixed vi-mode word completion and glob expansion to perform tilde - expansion. - -f.

A bare `%' once again expands to the current job when used as a job - specifier. - -i. The `+=' assignment operator (append to the value of a string or array) is - now supported for assignment statements and arguments to builtin commands - that accept assignment statements. - -j. BASH_COMMAND now preserves its value when a DEBUG trap is executed. - -k. The `gnu_errfmt' option is enabled automatically if the shell is running - in an emacs terminal window. - -l. New configuration option: --single-help-strings. Causes long help text - to be written as a single string; intended to ease translation. - -m. The COMP_WORDBREAKS variable now causes the list of word break characters - to be emptied when the variable is unset. - -n. An unquoted expansion of $* when $IFS is empty now causes the positional - parameters to be concatenated if the expansion doesn't undergo word - splitting. - -o. Bash now inherits $_ from the environment if it appears there at startup. - -p. New shell option: nocasematch. If non-zero, shell pattern matching ignores - case when used by `case' and `[[' commands. - -q. The `printf' builtin takes a new option: -v var. That causes the output - to be placed into var instead of on stdout. - -r. By default, the shell no longer reports processes dying from SIGPIPE. - -s. Bash now sets the extern variable `environ' to the export environment it - creates, so C library functions that call getenv() (and can't use the - shell-provided replacement) get current values of environment variables. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically - bound to delete-char. - -b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the - completion list. - -c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero, - readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline - equivalents when it's called (on by default). - -d. New bindable command: vi-rubout.

Improved the mail checking code so it won't check (and possibly cause an - NFS file system mount) until MAILPATH or MAIL is given a value -- there - is no default if DEFAULT_MAIL_DIRECTORY is not defined at compile time. - (It is computed by configure, but can be #undef'd in config-bot.h.) - -iii. If the `chkwinsize' option is enabled, the shell checks for window size - changes if a child process exits due to a signal. - -jjj. Removed the attempts to avoid adding a slash at the end of a completed - executable name if there was a directory with the same name in the - current directory. - -kkk.

New invocation option: --debugger. Enables debugging and turns on new - `extdebug' shell option. - -m. New `functrace' and `errtrace' options to `set -o' cause DEBUG and ERR - traps, respectively, to be inherited by shell functions. Equivalent to - `set -T' and `set -E' respectively. The `functrace' option also controls - whether or not the DEBUG trap is inherited by sourced scripts. - -n. The DEBUG trap is run before binding the variable and running the action - list in a `for' command, binding the selection variable and running the - query in a `select' command, and before attempting a match in a `case' - command. - -o.

New HISTTIMEFORMAT variable; value is a format string to pass to - strftime(3). If set and not null, the `history' builtin prints out - timestamp information according to the specified format when displaying - history entries. If set, bash tells the history library to write out - timestamp information when the history file is written. - -cc. The [[ ... ]] command has a new binary `=~' operator that performs - extended regular expression (egrep-like) matching. - -dd. `configure' has a new `--enable-cond-regexp' option (enabled by default) - to enable the =~ operator and regexp matching in [[ ... ]]. - -ee. Subexpressions matched by the =~ operator are placed in the new - BASH_REMATCH array variable. - -ff. New `failglob' option that causes an expansion error when pathname - expansion fails to produce a match. - -gg. New `set -o pipefail' option that causes a pipeline to return a failure - status if any of the processes in the pipeline fail, not just the last - one. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a.

The text inserted by an `a' command in vi mode can be reinserted with - `.'. - -e. New bindable variable, `show-all-if-unmodified'. If set, the readline - completer will list possible completions immediately if there is more - than one completion and partial completion cannot be performed. - -f. There is a new application-callable `free_history_entry()' function. - -g. History list entries now contain timestamp information; the history file - functions know how to read and write timestamp information associated - with each entry. - -h. Four new key binding functions have been added: - - rl_bind_key_if_unbound() - rl_bind_key_if_unbound_in_map() - rl_bind_keyseq_if_unbound() - rl_bind_keyseq_if_unbound_in_map() - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05b-release, -and the previous version, bash-2.05b-beta2. - -1.

Changes to Readline - -a. Fixed a small problem in _rl_insert_char with multibyte characters. - -b. Fixes from IBM for line wrapping problems when using multibyte characters. - -c. Fixed a problem which caused the display to be messed up when the last - line of a multi-line prompt (possibly containing invisible characters) - was longer than the screen width. - -d. Fixed a problem with the vi-mode `r' command that ocurred on systems with - support for multibyte characters when running in a locale without any - multibyte characters. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05b-alpha1, -and the previous version, bash-2.05a-release. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. Some changes to work around inlining differences between compilers. - -b. Added more prototypes for internal shell typedefs, to catch argument - passing errors when using pointers to functions. - -c. The `cd' builtin now fails in posix mode when a valid directory cannot be - constructed from a relative pathname argument and the $PWD using pathname - canonicalization, and the -P option has not been supplied. Previously, - the shell would attempt to use what the user typed, leading to weird - values for $PWD and discrepancies between the value of $PWD and the - actual working directory. - -d. The `cd' builtin now resets $PWD when canonicalization fails but a chdir - to the pathname passed as an argument succeeds (when not in posix mode). - -e. The `fc' builtin has been fixed, as POSIX requires, to use the closest - history position in range when given an out-of-range argument. - -f. The history file loading code was changed to allow lines to be saved in - the history list from the shell startup files. - -g. `history -s args' now works better in compound commands. - -h. The tilde expansion code was fixed to better recognize when it's being - invoked in an assignment context, which enables expansion after `=' - and `:'. - -i. Fixed the command name completion code so a slash is no longer appended - to a single match if there happens to be a directory with that name in - $PWD. - -j. Fixed compound array assignment to no longer perform alias expansion, to - allow reserved words as array members, and to not produce extra output - when the `-v' option had been enabled. - -k. Fixed the programmable completion code to better handle newlines in lists - of possible completions (e.g., `complete -W'). - -l. Removed the reserved words from the `bash-builtins' manual page. - -m. Parser error reporting now attempts to do a better job of identifying the - token in error rather than doing straight textual analysis. - -n. Fixes for Inf/NaN, locales, wide/multibyte characters and zero-length - arguments in the library snprintf(3) replacement. - -o. `read -e' no longer does command name completion on the first word on - the line being read. - -p. `select' now returns failure if the read of the user's selection fails. - -q. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump when setting $PIPESTATUS. - -r. Fixes to not allocate so many job slots when the shell is running a loop - with job control enabled in a subshell of an interactive shell. - -s. Fixed a bug in the trap code that caused traps to be inherited by - command substitutions in some cases. - -t. Fixed a bug that could cause alias expansion to inappropriately expand - the word following the alias. - -u. Fixed a bug in the `kill' builtin that mishandled negative pid arguments. - -v. The parser is less lenient when parsing assignment statements where the - characters before the `=' don't comprise a valid identifier. - -w. The arithmetic expression evaluation code now honors the setting of the - `-u' option when expanding variable names. - -x. Fixed the arithmetic evaluation code to allow array subscripts to be - assigned (`let b[7]=42') and auto-incremented and auto-decremented - (e.g., b[7]++). - -y. Reimplemented the existing prompt string date and time expansions using - strftime(3), which changed the output of \@ in some locales. - -z. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump when a special shell variable - (like RANDOM) was converted to an array with a variable assignment. - -aa. Fixed a bug that would reset the handler for a signal the user had - trapped to a function that would exit the shell when setting the exit - trap in a non-interactive shell. - -bb. Changed the execve(2) wrapper code to check whether or not a failing - command is a directory before looking at whether a `#!' interpreter - failed for some reason. - -cc. Fixed a bug in the command printing code so it no longer inserts a `;' - after a newline, which produces a syntax error when reused as input. - -dd. The code that expands $PS4 no longer inherits the `-x' flag. - -ee. The bash-specific completion functions may now take advantage of the - double-TAB and M-? features of the standard readline completion - functions. - -ff. The mail checking code no longer prints a message if the checked file's - size has not increased, even if the access time is less than the modification time. - -gg. Rewrote the variable symbol table code: there is now a stack of - contexts, each possibly including a separate symbol table; there can - be more than one temporary environment supplied to nested invocations - of `./source'; the temporary environments no longer require so much - special-case code; shell functions now handle the temporary environment - and local variables more consistently; function scope exit is faster now - that the entire symbol table does not have to be traversed to dispose of - local variables; it is now easier to push vars from the temporary - environment to the shell's variable table in posix mode; some duplicated - code has been removed. - -hh. Regularized the error message printing code; builtin_error is now called - more consistently, and common error message strings are handled by small - functions. This should make eventual message translation easier. - -ii. Error messages now include the line number in a script when the shell - is not interactive. - -jj. Array subscript expansion now takes place even when the array variable is - unset, so side effects will take place. - -kk. Fixed a bug in the SICGHLD child-reaping code so that it won't find - jobs already marked as terminated if the OS reuses pids quickly enough. - -ll. Fixed a bug that could cause a signal to not interrupt the `wait' - builtin while it was waiting for a background process to terminate. - -mm. A couple of changes to make it easier for multiple shells to share history - files using `history -n', `history -r', and `history -w'. - -nn. The `getopts' builtin always increments OPTIND to point to the next - option to be handled when an option is returned, whether it's valid - or not, as POSIX 1003.x-2001 requires. - -oo. Changed some parts of the expansion code to avoid allocating and - immediately freeing memory without using the results for anything. - -pp. The shell now keeps track of $IFS internally, updating its internal map - each time the variable is assigned a new value (or at local scope exit). - This saves thousands of hash lookups for IFS, which, while individually - cheap, add up. - -qq. Rewrote the hash table code: searching and insertion are much faster now, - and it uses a better string hashing function; augmented the function - interface to simplify other parts of the code and remove duplicated code - -rr. The shell now uses a simple, generic `object cache' for allocating and - caching words and word lists, which were the major users of - malloc/free. - -ss. Fixed the assignment statement parsing code to allow whitespace and - newlines in subscripts when performing array element assignment. - -tt. The shell now issues many fewer calls to sigprocmask and other signal - masking system calls. - -uu. Fixed the `test' and conditional command file comparison operators to - work right when one file has a non-positive timestamp and the other - does not exist. - -vv. Fixed some cases where the special characters '\001' and '\177' in the - values of variables or positional parameters caused incorrect expansion - results. - -2. Changes to Readline - -a. Fixed output of comment-begin character when listing variable values. - -b. Added some default key bindings for common escape sequences produced by - HOME and END keys. - -c. Fixed the mark handling code to be more emacs-compatible. - -d. A bug was fixed in the code that prints possible completions to keep it - from printing empty strings in certain circumstances. - -e. Change the key sequence printing code to print ESC as M\- if ESC is a - meta-prefix character -- it's easier for users to understand than \e. - -f. Fixed unstifle_history() to return values that match the documentation. - -g. Fixed the event loop (rl_event_hook) to handle the case where the input - file descriptor is invalidated. - -h. Fixed the prompt display code to work better when the application has a - custom redisplay function. - -i. Changes to make reading and writing the history file a little faster, and - to cope with huge history files without calling abort(3) from xmalloc. - -j. The vi-mode `S' and `s' commands are now undone correctly. - -3. New Features in Bash - -a. If set, TMOUT is the default timeout for the `read' builtin. - -b. `type' has two new options: `-f' suppresses shell function lookup, and - `-P' forces a $PATH search. - -c. New code to handle multibyte characters. - -d. `select' was changed to be more ksh-compatible, in that the menu is - reprinted each time through the loop only if REPLY is set to NULL. - The previous behavior is available as a compile-time option. - -e. `complete -d' and `complete -o dirnames' now force a slash to be - appended to names which are symlinks to directories. - -f. There is now a bindable edit-and-execute-command readline command, - like the vi-mode `v' command, bound to C-xC-e in emacs mode. - -g. Added support for ksh93-like [:word:] character class in pattern matching. - -h. The $'...' quoting construct now expands \cX to Control-X. - -i. A new \D{...} prompt expansion; passes the `...' to strftime and inserts - the result into the expanded prompt. - -j. The shell now performs arithmetic in the largest integer size the - machine supports (intmax_t), instead of long. - -k. If a numeric argument is supplied to one of the bash globbing completion - functions, a `*' is appended to the word before expansion is attempted. - -l. The bash globbing completion functions now allow completions to be listed - with double tabs or if `show-all-if-ambiguous' is set. - -m. New `-o nospace' option for `complete' and `compgen' builtins; suppresses - readline's appending a space to the completed word. - -n. New `here-string' redirection operator: <<< word. - -o. When displaying variables, function attributes and definitions are shown - separately, allowing them to be re-used as input (attempting to re-use - the old output would result in syntax errors). - -p. There is a new configuration option `--enable-mem-scramble', controls - bash malloc behavior of writing garbage characters into memory at - allocation and free time. - -q. The `complete' and `compgen' builtins now have a new `-s/-A service' - option to complete on names from /etc/services. - -r. `read' has a new `-u fd' option to read from a specified file descriptor. - -s. Fix the completion code so that expansion errors in a directory name - don't cause a longjmp back to the command loop. - -t. Fixed word completion inside command substitution to work a little more - intuitively. - -u. The `printf' %q format specifier now uses $'...' quoting to print the - argument if it contains non-printing characters. - -v. The `declare' and `typeset' builtins have a new `-t' option. When applied - to functions, it causes the DEBUG trap to be inherited by the named - function. Currently has no effect on variables. - -w. The DEBUG trap is now run *before* simple commands, ((...)) commands, - [[...]] conditional commands, and for ((...)) loops. - -x. The expansion of $LINENO inside a shell function is only relative to the - function start if the shell is interactive -- if the shell is running a - script, $LINENO expands to the line number in the script. This is as - POSIX-2001 requires. - -y. The bash debugger in examples/bashdb has been modified to work with the - new DEBUG trap semantics, the command set has been made more gdb-like, - and the changes to $LINENO make debugging functions work better. Code - from Gary Vaughan. - -z. New [n]<&word- and [n]>&word- redirections from ksh93 -- move fds (dup - and close). - -aa. There is a new `-l' invocation option, equivalent to `--login'. - -bb. The `hash' builtin has a new `-l' option to list contents in a reusable - format, and a `-d' option to remove a name from the hash table. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a. Support for key `subsequences': allows, e.g., ESC and ESC-a to both - be bound to readline functions. Now the arrow keys may be used in vi - insert mode. - -b. When listing completions, and the number of lines displayed is more than - the screen length, readline uses an internal pager to display the results. - This is controlled by the `page-completions' variable (default on). - -c. New code to handle editing and displaying multibyte characters. - -d. The behavior introduced in bash-2.05a of deciding whether or not to - append a slash to a completed name that is a symlink to a directory has - been made optional, controlled by the `mark-symlinked-directories' - variable (default is the 2.05a behavior). - -e. The `insert-comment' command now acts as a toggle if given a numeric - argument: if the first characters on the line don't specify a - comment, insert one; if they do, delete the comment text - -f. New application-settable completion variable: - rl_completion_mark_symlink_dirs, allows an application's completion - function to temporarily override the user's preference for appending - slashes to names which are symlinks to directories. - -g. New function available to application completion functions: - rl_completion_mode, to tell how the completion function was invoked - and decide which argument to supply to rl_complete_internal (to list - completions, etc.). - -h. Readline now has an overwrite mode, toggled by the `overwrite-mode' - bindable command, which could be bound to `Insert'. - -i. New application-settable completion variable: - rl_completion_suppress_append, inhibits appending of - rl_completion_append_character to completed words. - -j. New key bindings when reading an incremental search string: ^W yanks - the currently-matched word out of the current line into the search - string; ^Y yanks the rest of the current line into the search string, - DEL or ^H deletes characters from the search string. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05a-release, -and the previous version, bash-2.05a-rc1. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. Fixed the `printf' builtin so that the variable name supplied as an - argument to a %n conversion must be a valid shell identifier. - -b. Improved the random number generator slightly. - -c. Changes to configuration to not put -I/usr/include into $CFLAGS, since - it messes up some includes. - -d. Corrected description of POSIXLY_CORRECT in man page and info manual. - -e. Fixed a couple of cases of incorrect function prototypes that sneaked - through and caused compilation problems. - -f. A few changes to avoid potential core dumps in the programmable completion - code. - -g. Fixed a configure problem that could cause a non-existent file to show - up in LIBOBJS. - -h. Fixed a configure problem that could cause siglist.o to not be built when - required. - -i. Changes to the strtoimax and strtoumax replacement functions to work - around buggy compilers. - -j. Fixed a problem with the snprintf replacement function that could - potentially cause a core dump. - -2. Changes to Readline - -a. Fixed a locale-specific problem in the vi-mode `goto mark' command. - -b. Fixed Makefile to not put -I/usr/include into CFLAGS, since it can cause - include file problems. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05a-rc1, -and the previous version, bash-2.05a-beta1. - -1.

Fixed snprintf to correctly handle the optional precision with the %g and - %G conversions. - -c. Fixed the arithmetic evaluation code to correct the values of `@' and `_' - when translating base-64 constants (they were backwards). - -d. New library functions for formatting long and long long ints. - -e. Fixed a few places where negative array subscripts could have occurred, - mostly as the result of systems using signed characters. - -f. Fixed a few places that assumed a pid_t was no wider than an int. - -g. Fixed the `maildir' mail checking code to work on systems where a - `struct stat' doesn't include an `st_blocks' member. - -h. Fixed snprintf to make `unsigned long long' conversion formats (%llu) - work better. - -i. Fixed snprintf to not print a sign when asked to do an unsigned conversion. - -j. Made configure changes to avoid compiling empty source files in lib/sh. - -k. New replacement functions (if necessary) for strtoull, strtoll, strtoimax, - strtoumax. - -l. The `printf' builtin now handles the `ll' and `j' length modifiers - directly, since they can affect the type and width of the argument - passed to printf(3). - -m. Renamed a number of the bash-specific autoconf macros in aclocal.m4 to - have more sytematic naming, with accompanying changes to configure.in. - -n. Fixed snprintf to handle long doubles and the %a/%A conversions by - falling back to sprintf, as long as sprintf supports them. - -o. Fixed return value from vsnprintf/snprintf to be the number of characters - that would have been printed, even if that number exceeds the buffer - size passed as an argument. - -p. Bash no longer attempts to define its own versions of some ctype macros - if they are implemented as functions in libc but not as macros in - . - -q. Changed the variable printing code (used by `set', `export', etc.) to - not use the $'...' syntax when in posix mode, since that caused - interoperability problems with other shells (most notably with autoconf). - When not in posix mode, it uses $'...' if the string to be printed - contains non-printing characters and regular single quotes otherwise. - -r. snprintf now recognizes the %F conversion. - -s. Fixed a bug that could cause the wrong status to be returned by a shell - function when the shell is compiled without job control and a null - command containing a command substutition was executed in the function. - -t. When in posix mode, the default value for MAILCHECK is 600. - -u. Bash only initializes FUNCNAME, GROUPS, and DIRSTACK as special variables - if they're not in the initial environment. - -v. If SECONDS appears in the initial environment with a valid integer value, - bash uses that as the starting value, as if an assignment had been - performed. - -w. Bash no longer auto-exports HOME, PATH, SHELL, or TERM, even though it - gives them default values if they don't appear in the initial environment. - -x.

Bash no longer removes the export attribute from SSH_CLIENT or SSH2_CLIENT - if they appear in the initial environment. - -z. Bash no longer attempts to discover if it's being run by sshd in order to - run the startup files. If the SSH_SOURCE_BASHRC is uncommented in - config-top.h it will attempt to do so as previously, but that's commented - out in the distributed version. - -aa. Fixed a typo in the code that tests for LC_NUMERIC. - -bb. The POSIXLY_CORRECT shell variable and its effects are now documented. - -cc. Some changes to several of the support shell scripts included in the - definitions to try to avoid race conditions and attacks. - -dd. Several changes to avoid warnings from `gcc -Wall'. - -ee. Fixed a problem with the `unset' builtin that could cause incorrect - results if asked to unset a variable and an array subscript in the - same command. - -ff. A few changes to the shell's temporary file creation code to avoid - potential file descriptor leaks and to prefer the system's idea of - the temporary directory to use. - -gg. Fixes to build with the C alloca in lib/malloc/alloca.c if the system - requires it but the shell has been configured --without-bash-malloc. - -hh. Updated the documentation to note that only interactive shells resend - SIGHUP to all jobs before exiting. - -ii. Fixes to only pass unquoted tilde words to tilde_expand, rather than - rely on tilde_expand or getpwnam(3) to handle the quotes (MacOS 10.x - will remove backslashes in any login name passed to getpwnam(3)). - -jj. Small change from Paul Eggert to make LINENO right in commands run with - `bash -c'. - -2. New Features in Bash - -a. The `printf' builtin now handles the %a and %A conversions if they're - implemented by printf(3). - -b. The `printf' builtin now handles the %F conversion (just about like %f). - -c. The `printf' builtin now handles the %n conversion like printf(3). The - corresponding argument is the name of a shell variable to which the - value is assigned. - -3. Changes to Readline - -a. Fixed a few places where negative array subscripts could have occurred. - -b. Fixed the vi-mode code to use a better method to determine the bounds of - the array used to hold the marks. - -c. Fixed the defines in chardefs.h to work better when chars are signed. - -d. Fixed configure.in to use the new names for bash autoconf macros. - -e. Readline no longer attempts to define its own versions of some ctype - macros if they are implemented as functions in libc but not as macros in - . - -f. Fixed a problem where rl_backward could possibly set point to before - the beginning of the line. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05a-beta1, -and the previous version, bash-2.05a-alpha1. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. Fixed a bug in the evalution of arithmetic `for' statements when the - expanded expression is NULL. - -b. Fixed an unassigned variable problem in the redirection printing code. - -c. Added more prototypes to extern function declarations in the header - files and to static function declarations in C source files. - -d. Make sure called functions have a prototype in scope, to get the arguments - and return values right instead of casting. Removed extern function - declarations from C source files that were already included in header - files. - -e. Changed some function arguments to use function typedefs in general.h so - the prototypes can be checked. The only use of Function and VFunction - now is for unwind-protects. - -f. More const changes to function arguments and appropriate variables. - -g. Changed the mail checking support to handle `maildir'-style mail - directories. - -h. Augmented the bash malloc to pass in the file and line number information - for each malloc, realloc, and free. This should result in better error - messages. - -i. The `old' gnu malloc is no longer a configuration option. - -j. Augmented the bash malloc with optional tracing and registering allocated - and freed memory. - -k. Prompt string decoding now saves and restores the value of $? when it - expands the prompt string, so command substitutions don't change $?. - -i. Array indices are now `long', since shell arithmetic is performed as long, - and the internal arrayind_t type is used consistently. - -j. Some more `unsigned char *' fixes from Paul Eggert. - -k. Fixed a bad call to builtin_error that could cause core dumps when making - local variables. - -l. `return' may no longer be used to terminate a `select' command, for - compatibility with ksh. - -m. Changed code that reads octal numbers to do a better job of detecting - overflows. - -n. The time formatting code no longer uses absolute indices into a buffer, - because the buffer size changes depending on the size of a `time_t'. - -o. `umask' now prints four digits when printing in octal mode, for - compatibility with other shells. - -p. Lots of changes to the `printf' builtin from Paul Eggert: it handles `L' - formats and long doubles better, and internal functions have been - simpified where appropriate. - -q. Some `time_t' fixes for machines were a time_t is bigger than a long. - -r. Replaced some bash-specific autoconf macros with standard equivalents. - -s. Improvmed the code that constructs temporary filenames to make the - generated names a bit more random. - -t. Added code that checks for ascii before calling any of the is* ctype - functions. - -u. Changed some places where a `char' was used as an array subscript to use - `unsigned char', since a `char' can be negative if it's signed by default. - -v. Lots of changes to the `ulimit' builtin from Paul Eggert to add support - for the new POSIX-200x RLIM_SAVED_CUR and RLIM_SAVED_MAX values and - simplify the code. - -w. `ulimit' now prints the description of a resource in any error message - relating to fetching or setting that resource's limits. - -x. The `snprintf' replacement now computes maximum values at compile - time rather than using huge constants for things like long long. - -y. Interactive shells now ignore `set -n'. - -z. Changed the malloc bookkeeping information so that it's now 8 bytes - instead of 12 on most 32-bit machines (saving 4 bytes per allocation), - restoring 8-byte alignment. - -aa. The malloc error reporting code now attempts to print the file and line - number of the call that caused the error. - -bb. Changed the redirection error reporting code to catch EBADF errors and - report the file descriptor number rather than the file being redirected - to or from (e.g., things like `exec 4242&word' redirection now works in POSIX mode as it does by default, - since POSIX.2 leaves it unspecified. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05-beta2, -and the previous version, bash-2.05-beta1. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. Fixed a bug in the arithmetic evaluation code so that a^=b is supported. - -b.

Fixed a bug that caused bash to get its input pointer out of sync when - reading commands through a pipe and running a command with standard - input redirected from a file. - -f. Made a change so that command completion now makes about half as many - stat(2) calls when searching the $PATH. - -g. Fixed a bug that caused variable assignments preceding `return' to not - be propagated to the shell environment in POSIX mode. - -h. Fixed a bug with ${parameter[:]?word} -- tilde expansion was not performed - on `word'. - -i. In POSIX mode, `break' and `continue' do not complain and return success - if called when the shell is not executing a loop. - -j. Fixed `bash -o posix' to work the same as `bash --posix'. - -k. Fixed a bug where variable assignments preceding `eval' or `source/.' - would not show up in the environment exported to subshells run by the - commands. - -l. In POSIX mode, shells started to execute command substitutions inherit - the value of the `-e' option from their parent shell. - -m. In POSIX mode, aliases are expanded even in non-interactive shells. - -n. Changed some of the job control messages to display the text required by - POSIX.2 when the shell is in POSIX mode. - -o. Fixed a bug in `test' that caused it to occasionally return incorrect - results when non-numeric arguments were supplied to `-t'. - -2. Changes to Readline - -a. Some changes were made to avoid gcc warnings with -Wall. - -b. rl_get_keymap_by_name now finds keymaps case-insensitively, so - `set keymap EMACS' works. - -c. The history file writing and truncation functions now return a useful - status on error. - -d. Fixed a bug that could cause applications to dereference a NULL pointer - if a NULL second argument was passed to history_expand(). - -3. New Features in Bash - -a. doc/readline.3 has been moved to the readline distribution. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a. New function, rl_get_screen_size (int *rows, int *columns), returns - readline's idea of the screen dimensions. - -b. The timeout in rl_gather_tyi (readline keyboard input polling function) - is now settable via a function (rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout()). - -c. Renamed the max_input_history variable to history_max_entries; the old - variable is maintained for backwards compatibility. - -d. The list of characters that separate words for the history tokenizer is - now settable with a variable: history_word_delimiters. The default - value is as before. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05-beta1, -and the previous version, bash-2.05-alpha1. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. Changes to allow shared library and object building on the GNU Hurd. - -b. Fixes to the way exported functions are placed into the environment and - cached. - -c. The globbing library once again respects locales when processing ranges - in bracket expressions while doing pattern matching. - -d. System-specific configuration changes for: Tru 64, Interix - -e. Bashbug now uses /usr/bin/editor as one of the editing alternatives, and - will use mktemp(1) or tempfile(1), if present, for temporary file creation. - -f. Bash no longer performs a binary file check on a script argument that's - really a tty (like /dev/fd/0 or /dev/stdin). - -g. Fixed a bug in the execution of shell scripts that caused the effects of - $BASH_ENV to be undone in some cases. - -h. Fixed several bugs that made `bash [-i] /dev/stdin' not work correctly. - -i. Several changes to the job control code to avoid some signal state - manipulation. - -j. The Bash malloc no longer blocks signals as often, which should make it - faster. - -k. Fixed a parsing bug that did not allow backslash to escape a single quote - inside a $'...' construct. - -l. Fixed a bug that caused things like ${var:=$'value'} to be parsed - incorrectly. This showed up in newer versions of autoconf. - -m. Fixed a bug in the bash-specific readline initialization that caused - key bindings to bash-specific function names appearing in .inputrc to - not be honored. - -n. Bash now sets the file descriptor it uses to save the file descriptor - opened on a shell script to close on exec. - -o. Fixed a bug in the prompt string decoding that caused it to misbehave - when presented an octal sequence of fewer than three characters. - -p. Fixed the `test' builtin to return an error if `[' is supplied a single - argument that is not `]'. - -q. Fixed a bug that caused subshells started to run executable shell scripts - without a leading `#!' to incorrectly inherit an argument list preceding - a shell builtin (like such a script called from a script sourced with `.', - where there were variable assignments preceding the `.' command) - -r.

Renamed rltty_set_default_bindings to rl_tty_set_default_bindings and - crlf to rl_crlf, so there are no public functions declared in readline.h - without an `rl_' prefix. The old functions still exist for backwards - compatibility. - -3. New Features in Bash - -a. A new loadable builtin, realpath, which canonicalizes and expands symlinks - in pathname arguments. - -b. When `set' is called without options, it prints function defintions in a - way that allows them to be reused as input. This affects `declare' and - `declare -p' as well. - -4.

Removed a `feature' that made `ulimit' silently translate `unlimited' to - the current hard limit, which obscured some kernel error returns. - -x. Fixed the grammar so that `}' is recognized as a reserved word after - another reserved word, rather than requiring a `;' or newline. This - means that constructs like - - { { echo a b c ; } } - - work as expected. - -y. Conditional commands ([[...]]) now perform tilde expansion on their - arguments. - -z. Noted in the documentation that `set -a' will cause functions to be - exported if they are defined after `set -a' is executed. - -aa.

History library has less `#ifdef SHELL' code -- abstracted stuff out - into application-specific function hooks. - -b. Readline no longer calls getenv() if it's compiled as part of the shell, - which should eliminate problems on systems that cannot redefine getenv(), - like the NeXT OS. - -c. Fixed translation of ESC when `untranslating' macro values. - -d. The region kill operation now fixes the mark if it ends up beyond the - boundaries of the line after the region is deleted. - -3. New Features in Bash - -a. New argument for `configure': `--with-curses'. This can be used to - override the selection of the termcap library on systems where it is - deficient. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.01-alpha1, -and the previous version, bash-2.0-release. - -1.

A fix was made to the `echo' builtin so that NUL characters printed with - `echo -e' do not cause the output to be truncated. - -v. A fix was made to the job control code so that the shell behaves better - when monitor mode is enabled in a non-interactive shell. - -w. Bash no longer catches all of the terminating signals in a non- - interactive shell until a trap is set on EXIT, which should result in - quicker startup. - -x. A fix was made to the command timing code so that `time' can be used in - a loop. - -y. A fix was made to the parser so that `((cmd); cmd2)' is now parsed as - a nested subshell rather than strictly as an (erroneous) arithmetic - command. - -z. A fix was made to the globbing code so that it correctly matches quoted - filenames beginning with a `.'. - -aa. A bug in `fc' that caused some multi-line commands to not be stored as - one command in the history when they were re-executed after editing - (with `fc -e') was fixed. - -bb. The `ulimit' builtin now attempts to catch some classes of integer - overflows. - -cc. The command-oriented-history code no longer attempts to add `;' - inappropriately when a newline appears while reading a $(...) command - substitution. - -dd. A bug that caused the shell to dump core when `help --' was executed - was fixed. - -ee.

The command printing code now handles here documents better when there - are other redirections associated with the command. - -mm. The special glibc environment variable (NNN_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_) - is no longer placed into the environment of executed commands -- users - of glibc had too many problems with it. - -nn. Reorganized the code that generates signames.h. The signal_names list - is now more complete but may be slightly different (SIGABRT is favored - over SIGIOT, for example). The preferred signal names are those - listed in the POSIX.2 standard. - -oo. `bashbug' now uses a filename shorter than 14 characters for its - temporary file, and asks for confirmation before sending the bug - report. - -pp. A bug that caused TAB completion in vi editing mode to not be turned - off when `set -o posix' was executed or back on when `set +o posix' - was executed was fixed. - -qq.

Fixed a bug that caused the shell to crash while setting $SHELLOPTS - if there were no shell options set. - -bbb. Fixed `export -p' and `readonly -p' so that when the shell is in POSIX - mode, their output is as POSIX.2 specifies. - -ccc. Fixed a bug in `readonly' so that `readonly -a avar=(...)' actually - creates an array variable. - -ddd. Fixed a bug that prevented `time' from correctly timing background - pipelines. - -2. Changes to Readline - -a. A bug that caused an extra newline to be printed when the cursor was on - an otherwise empty line was fixed. - -b. An instance of memory being used after it was freed was corrected. - -c. The redisplay code now works when the prompt is longer than the screen - width. - -d. `dump-macros' is now a bindable name, as it should have been all along. - -e. Non-printable characters are now expanded when displaying macros and - their values. - -f.

New Features in Bash - -a. There is a new builtin array variable: GROUPS, the set of groups to which - the user belongs. This is used by the test suite. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a. If a key sequence bound to `universal-argument' is read while reading a - numeric argument started with `universal-argument', it terminates the - argument but is otherwise ignored. This provides a way to insert multiple - instances of a digit string, and is how GNU emacs does it. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-release, -and the previous version, bash-2.0-beta3. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. Fix to the `getopts' builtin so that it does the right thing when a - required option argument is not present. - -b.

Fixed a bug that made messages in MAILPATH entries not work correctly. - -d. Fixed a serious documentation error in the description of the new - ${parameter:offset[:length]} expansion. - -e. Fixes to make parameter substring expansion ({$param:offset[:length]}) - work when within double quotes. - -f. Fixes to make ^A (CTLESC) survive an unquoted expansion of positional - parameters. - -g. Corrected a misspelling of `unlimited' in the output of `ulimit'. - -h.

New Features in Bash - -a. `ulimit' now sets both hard and soft limits and reports the soft limit - by default (when neither -H nor -S is specified). This is compatible - with versions of sh and ksh that implement `ulimit'. - -b. Integer constants have been extended to base 64. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a. The `home' and `end' keys are now bound to beginning-of-line and - end-of-line, respectively, if the corresponding termcap capabilities - are present. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-beta3, -and the previous version, bash-2.0-beta2. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. System-specific changes for: AIX 4.2, SCO 3.2v[45], HP-UX. - -b. When in POSIX mode, variable assignments preceding a special builtin - persist in the shell environment after the builtin completes. - -c. Changed all calls to getwd() to getcwd(). Improved check for systems - where the libc getcwd() calls popen(), since that breaks on some - systems when job control is being used. - -d. Fixed a bug that caused seg faults when executing scripts with the - execute bit set but without a leading `#!'. - -e. The environment passed to executed commands is never sorted. - -f. A bug was fixed in the code that expands ${name[@]} to the number of - elements in an array variable. - -g. A bug was fixed in the array compound assignment code ( A=( ... ) ). - -h. Window size changes now correctly propagate down to readline if - the shopt `checkwinsize' option is enabled. - -i. A fix was made in the code that expands to the length of a variable - value (${#var}). - -j. A fix was made to the command builtin so that it did not turn on the - `no fork' flag inappropriately. - -k. A fix was made to make `set -n' work more reliably. - -l.

Changes to Readline - -a. System-specific changes for: SCO 3.2v[45]. - -b. The behavior of the vi-mode `.' when redoing an `i' command was changed - to insert the text previously inserted by the `i' command rather than - simply entering insert mode. - -3. New features in Bash - -a. There is a new version of the autoload function package, in - examples/functions/autoload.v2, that uses arrays and provides more - functionality. - -b. Support for LC_COLLATE and locale-specific sorting of the results of - pathname expansion if strcoll() is available. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a.

Changes to Bash - -a. `pushd -' is once again equivalent to `pushd $OLDPWD'. - -b. OS-specific changes for: SCO 3.2v[45]. - -c. A change was made to the fix for the recently-reported security hole - when reading characters with octal value 255 to make it work better on - systems with restartable system calls when not using readline. - -d. Some changes were made to the test suite so that it works if you - configure bash with --enable-usg-echo-default. - -e. A fix was made to the parsing of conditional arithmetic expressions. - -f. Illegal arithmetic bases now cause an arithmetic evaluation error rather - than being silently reset. - -g. Multiple arithmetic bases now cause an arithmetic evaluation error - instead of being ignored. - -h. A fix was made to the evaluation of ${param?word} to conform to POSIX.2. - -i. A bug that sometimes caused array indices to be evaluated twice (which - would cause errors when they contained assignment statements) was fixed. - -j. `ulimit' was rewritten to avoid problems with getrlimit(2) returning - unsigned values and to simplify the code. - -k. A bug in the command-oriented-history code that caused it to sometimes - put semicolons after right parens inappropriately was fixed. - -l. The values inserted into the prompt by the \w and \W escape sequences - are now quoted to prevent further expansion. - -m. An interactive shell invoked as `sh' now reads and executes commands - from the file named by $ENV when it starts up. If it's a login shell, - it does this after reading /etc/profile and ~/.profile. - -n. The file named by $ENV is never read by non-interactive shells. - -2. Changes to Readline - -a. A few changes were made to hide some macros and functions that should not - be public. - -b. An off-by-one error that caused seg faults in the history expansion code - was fixed. - -3. New Features in Bash - -a. The ksh-style ((...)) arithmetic command was implemented. It is exactly - identical to let "...". This is controlled by a new option to configure, - `--enable-dparen-arithmetic', which is on by default. - -b. There is a new #define available in config.h.top: SYS_BASH_LOGOUT. If - defined to a filename, bash reads and executes commands from that file - when a login shell exits. It's commented out by default. - -c. `ulimit' has a `-l' option that reports the maximum amount of data that - may be locked into memory on 4.4BSD-based systems. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-beta1, -and the previous version, bash-2.0-alpha4. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. A bug that sometimes caused traps to be ignored on signals the - shell treats specially was fixed. - -b. The internationalization code was changed to track the values of - LC_* variables and call setlocale() as appropriate. The TEXTDOMAIN - and TEXTDOMAINDIR variables are also tracked; changes cause calls - to textdomain() and bindtextdomain(), if available. - -c. A bug was fixed that sometimes caused double-quoted strings to be - parsed incorrectly. - -d. Changes were made so that the siglist code compiles correctly on - Solaris 2.5. - -e. Added `:' to the set of characters that cause word breaks for the - completion code so that pathnames in assignments to $PATH can be - completed. - -f. The `select' command was fixed to print $PS3 to stderr. - -g. Fixed an error in the manual page section describing the effect that - setting and unsetting GLOBIGNORE has on the setting of the `dotglob' - option. - -h. The time conversion code now uses CLK_TCK rather than CLOCKS_PER_SEC - on systems without gettimeofday() and resources. - -i. The getopt static variables are now initialized each time a subshell - is started, so subshells using `getopts' work right. - -j. A sign-extension bug that caused a possible security hole was fixed. - -k. The parser now reads characters between backquotes within a double- - quoted string as a single word, so double quotes in the backquoted - string don't terminate the enclosing double-quoted string. - -l. A bug that caused `^O' to work incorrectly when typed as the first - thing to an interactive shell was fixed. - -m. A rarely-exercised off-by-one error in the code that quotes variable - values was fixed. - -n. Some memory and file descriptor leaks encountered when running a - shell script that is executable but does not have a leading `#!' - were plugged. - -2. Changes to Readline - -a. A bug that sometimes caused incorrect results when trying to read - typeahead on systems without FIONREAD was fixed. - -3. New Features in Bash - -a. The command timing code now uses the value of the TIMEFORMAT variable - to format and display timing statistics. - -b. The `time' reserved word now accepts a `-p' option to force the - POSIX.2 output format. - -c. There are a couple of new and updated scripts to convert csh startup - files to bash format. - -d. There is a new builtin array variable: BASH_VERSINFO. The various - members hold the parts of the version information in BASH_VERSION, - plus the value of MACHTYPE. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a. Setting LANG to `en_US.ISO8859-1' now causes readline to enter - eight-bit mode. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-alpha4, -and the previous version, bash-2.0-alpha3. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. There is better detection of rsh connections on Solaris 2. - -b. Assignments to read-only variables preceding a command name are now - variable assignment errors. Variable assignment errors cause - non-interactive shells running in posix mode to exit. - -c. The word tokenizer was rewritten to handle nested quotes and pairs - ('', "", ``, ${...}, $(...), $[...], $'...', $"...", <(...), >(...)) - correctly. Some of the parameter expansion code was updated as a - consequence. - -d. A fix was made to `test' when given three arguments so that a binary - operator is checked for first, before checking that the first argument - is `!'. - -e. 2''>/dev/null is no longer equivalent to 2>/dev/null. - -f. Parser error messages were regularized, and in most cases the name of - the shell script being read by a non-interactive shell is not printed - twice. - -g. A fix was made to the completion code so that it no longer removes the - text the user typed in some cases. - -h. The special glibc `getopt' environment variable is no longer put into - the environment on machines with small values of ARG_MAX. - -i. The expansion of ${...} now follows the POSIX.2 rules for finding the - closing `}'. - -j. The shell no longer displays spurious status messages for background - jobs in shell scripts that complete successfully when the script is - run from a terminal. - -k. `shopt -o' now correctly updates $SHELLOPTS. - -l. A bug that caused the $PATH searching code to return a non-executable - file even when an executable file with the same name appeared later in - $PATH was fixed. - -m. The shell now does tilde expansions on unquoted `:~' in assignment - statements when not in posix mode. - -n. Variable assignment errors when a command consists only of assignments - now cause non-interactive shells to exit when in posix mode. - -o. If the variable in a `for' or `select' command is read-only, or not a - legal shell identifier, a variable assignment error occurs. - -p. `test' now handles `-a' and `-o' as binary operators when three arguments - are supplied, and correctly parses `( word )' as equivalent to `word'. - -q. `test' was fixed so that file names of the form /dev/fd/NN mean the same - thing on all systems, even Linux. - -r. Fixed a bug in the globbing code that caused patterns with multiple - consecutive `*'s to not be matched correctly. - -s. Fixed a bug that caused $PS2 to not be printed when an interactive shell - not using readline is reading a here document. - -t. Fixed a bug that caused history expansion to be performed inappropriately - when a single-quoted string spanned more than one line. - -u. `getopts' now checks that the variable name passed by the user as the - second argument is a legal shell identifier and that the variable is - not read-only. - -v. Fixed `getopts' to obey POSIX.2 rules for setting $OPTIND when it - encounters an error. - -w. Fixed `set' to display variable values in a form that can be re-read. - -x. Fixed a bug in the code that keeps track of whether or not local variables - have been declared at the current level of function nesting. - -y. Non-interactive shells in posix mode now exit if the name in a function - declaration is not a legal identifier. - -z. The job control code now ignores stopped children when the shell is not - interactive. - -aa.

Some OS-specific changes were made for SCO 3.2v[45] and AIX 4.2. - -cc. `time' now prints its output to stderr, as POSIX.2 specifies. - -2. Fixes to Readline - -a. After printing possible completions, all lines of a multi-line prompt - are redisplayed. - -b. Some changes were made to the terminal handling code in rltty.c to - work around AIX 4.2 bugs. - -3. New Features in Bash - -a. There is a new loadable builtin: sprintf, with calling syntax - sprintf var format [args] - This provides an easy way to simulate ksh left- and right-justified - variable values. - -b. The expansions of \h and \H in prompt strings were swapped. \h now - expands to the hostname up to the first `.', as in bash-1.14. - -4. New Features in Readline - -a. The bash-1.14 behavior when ^M is typed while doing an incremental - search was restored. ^J may now be used to terminate the search without - accepting the line. - -b. There is a new bindable variable: disable-completion. This inhibits - word completion and causes the completion character to be inserted as - if it had been bound to self-insert. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-alpha3, -and the previous version, bash-2.0-alpha2. - -There is now a file `COMPAT' included in the distribution that lists the -user-visible incompatibilities between 1.14 and 2.0. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. Some work was done so that word splitting of the rhs of assignment - statements conforms more closely to historical practice. - -b. A couple of errant memory frees were fixed. - -c. A fix was made to the test builtin so it recognizes `<' and `>' as - binary operators. - -d. The GNU malloc in lib/malloc/malloc.c now scrambles memory as it's - allocated and freed. This is to catch callers that refer to freed - memory or assume something about newly-allocated memory. - -e. Fixed a problem with conversion to 12-hour time in the prompt - expansion code. - -f. Fixed a problem with configure's argument parsing order. Now you can - correctly turn on specific options after using --enable-minimal-config. - -g. The configure script now automatically disables the use of GNU malloc - on systems where it's appropriate (better than having people read the - NOTES file and do it manually). - -h. There are new prompt expansions (\v and \V) to insert version information - into the prompt strings. - -i. The default prompt string now includes the version number. - -j. Most of the builtins that take no options were changed to use the - internal getopt so they can produce proper error messages for -? - and incorrect options. - -k. Some system-specific changes were made for SVR4.2 and Solaris 2.5. - -l. Bash now uses PATH_MAX instead of MAXPATHLEN and NAME_MAX instead of - MAXNAMLEN. - -m. A couple of problems caused by uninitialized variables were fixed. - -n. There are a number of new loadable builtin examples: logname, basename, - dirname, tty, pathchk, tee, head, and rmdir. All of these conform to - POSIX.2. - -o. Bash now notices changes in TZ and calls tzset() if present, so - changing TZ will alter the time printed by prompt expansions. - -p. The source was reorganized a bit so I don't have to wait so long for - some files to compile, and to facilitate the creation of a `shell - library' at some future point. - -q. Bash no longer turns off job control if called as `sh', since the - POSIX.2 spec includes job control as a standard feature. - -r. `bash -o posix' now works as intended. - -s. Fixed a problem with the completion code: when completing a filename - that contained globbing characters, if show-all-if-ambiguous was set, - the completion code would remove the user's text. - -t. Fixed ulimit so that (hopefully) the full range of limits is available - on HPUX systems. - -u. A new `shopt' option (`hostcomplete') enables and disables hostname - completion. - -v. The shell no longer attempts to save the history on an abort(), - which is usually called by programming_error(). - -w. The `-s' option to `fc' was changed to echo the command to be executed - to stderr instead of stdout. - -x. If the editor invoked by `fc -e' exits with a non-zero status, no - commands are executed. - -y. Fixed a bug that made the shopt `histverify' option work incorrectly. - -z. There is a new variable `MACHTYPE' whose value is the GNU-style - `cpu-company-system' system description as set by configure. (The - values of MACHTYPE and HOSTTYPE should really be swapped.) - -aa. The `ulimit' builtin now allows the maximum virtual memory size to be - set via setrlimit(2) if RLIMIT_VMEM is defined. - -bb. `bash -nc 'command'' no longer runs `command'. - -2. Changes to Readline - -a. Fixed a typo in the code that checked for FIONREAD in input.c. - -b. Fixed a bug in the code that outputs keybindings, so things like C-\ - are quoted properly. - -c. Fixed a bug in the inputrc file parsing code to handle the problems - caused by inputrc files created from the output of `bind -p' in - previous versions of bash. The problem was due to the bug fixed - in item b above. - -d. Readline no longer turns off the terminal's meta key, and turns it on - once the first time it's called. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This file documents the changes between this version, bash-2.0-alpha2, -and the previous version, bash-2.0-alpha. - -1. Changes to Bash - -a. The shell no longer thinks directories are executable. - -b. `disown' has a new option, `h', which inhibits the resending of SIGHUP - but does not remove the job from the jobs table. - -c. The varargs functions in error.c now use ANSI-C `stdarg' if available. - -d. The build process now treats the `build version' in .build as local to - the build directory, so different versions built from the same source - tree have different `build versions'. - -e. Some problems with the grammar have been fixed. (It used `list' in a few - productions where `compound_list' was needed. A `list' must be terminated - with a newline or semicolon; a `compound_list' need not be.) - -f. A fix was made to keep `wait' from hanging when waiting for all background - jobs. - -g. `bash --help' now writes its output to stdout, like the GNU Coding Standards - specify, and includes the machine type (the value of MACHTYPE). - -h. `bash --version' now prints more information and exits successfully, like - the GNU Coding Standards specify. - -i. The output of `time' and `times' now prints fractional seconds with three - places after the decimal point. - -j. A bug that caused process substitutions to screw up the pipeline printed - by `jobs' was fixed. - -k. Fixes were made to the code that implements $'...' and $"..." so they - work as documented. - -l. The process substitution code now opens named pipes for reading with - O_NONBLOCK to avoid hanging. - -m. Fixes were made to the trap code so the shell cleans up correctly if the - trap command contains a `return' and we're executing a function or - sourcing a script with `.'. - -n. Fixes to doc/Makefile.in so that it doesn't try to remake all of the - documentation (ps, dvi, etc.) on a `make install'. - -o. Fixed an auto-increment error that caused bash -c args to sometimes dump - core. - -p. Fixed a bug that caused $HISTIGNORE to fail when the history line - contained globbing characters. - -2. Changes to Readline - -a. There is a new string variable, rl_library_version, available for use by - applications. The current value is "2.1". - -b.

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, so `help read' - does not match `readonly'. - -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} operators to the [[ conditional command now do string - comparison according to the current locale if the compatibility level - is greater than 40. - -r. Programmable completion now uses the completion for `b' instead of `a' - when completion is attempted on a line like: a $(b c. - -s. Force extglob on temporarily when parsing the pattern argument to - the == and != operators to the [[ command, for compatibility. - -t. Changed the behavior of interrupting the wait builtin when a SIGCHLD is - received and a trap on SIGCHLD is set to be Posix-mode only. - -u. The read builtin has a new `-N nchars' option, which reads exactly NCHARS - characters, ignoring delimiters like newline. - -v. The mapfile/readarray builtin no longer stores the commands it invokes via - callbacks in the history list. - -w. There is a new `compat40' shopt option. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. New bindable function: menu-complete-backward. - -b. In the vi insertion keymap, C-n is now bound to menu-complete by default, - and C-p to menu-complete-backward. - -c. When in vi command mode, repeatedly hitting ESC now does nothing, even - when ESC introduces a bound key sequence. This is closer to how - historical vi behaves. - -d. New bindable function: skip-csi-sequence. Can be used as a default to - consume key sequences generated by keys like Home and End without having - to bind all keys. - -e. New application-settable function: rl_filename_rewrite_hook. Can be used - to rewite or modify filenames read from the file system before they are - compared to the word to be completed. - -f. New bindable variable: skip-completed-text, active when completing in the - middle of a word. If enabled, it means that characters in the completion - that match characters in the remainder of the word are "skipped" rather - than inserted into the line. - -g. The pre-readline-6.0 version of menu completion is available as - "old-menu-complete" for users who do not like the readline-6.0 version. - -h. New bindable variable: echo-control-characters. If enabled, and the - tty ECHOCTL bit is set, controls the echoing of characters corresponding - to keyboard-generated signals. - -i. New bindable variable: enable-meta-key. Controls whether or not readline - sends the smm/rmm sequences if the terminal indicates it has a meta key - that enables eight-bit characters. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.0 since -the release of bash-3.2. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. When using substring expansion on the positional parameters, a starting - index of 0 now causes $0 to be prefixed to the list. - -b. The `help' builtin now prints its columns with entries sorted vertically - rather than horizontally. - -c. There is a new variable, $BASHPID, which always returns the process id of - the current shell. - -d. There is a new `autocd' option that, when enabled, causes bash to attempt - to `cd' to a directory name that is supplied as the first word of a - simple command. - -e. There is a new `checkjobs' option that causes the shell to check for and - report any running or stopped jobs at exit. - -f. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_TYPE variable, set to - a character describing the type of completion being attempted. - -g. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_KEY variable, set to - the character that caused the completion to be invoked (e.g., TAB). - -h. If creation of a child process fails due to insufficient resources, bash - will try again several times before reporting failure. - -i. The programmable completion code now uses the same set of characters as - readline when breaking the command line into a list of words. - -j. The block multiplier for the ulimit -c and -f options is now 512 when in - Posix mode, as Posix specifies. - -k. Changed the behavior of the read builtin to save any partial input received - in the specified variable when the read builtin times out. This also - results in variables specified as arguments to read to be set to the empty - string when there is no input available. When the read builtin times out, - it returns an exit status greater than 128. - -l. The shell now has the notion of a `compatibility level', controlled by - new variables settable by `shopt'. Setting this variable currently - restores the bash-3.1 behavior when processing quoted strings on the rhs - of the `=~' operator to the `[[' command. - -m. The `ulimit' builtin now has new -b (socket buffer size) and -T (number - of threads) options. - -n. The -p option to `declare' now displays all variable values and attributes - (or function values and attributes if used with -f). - -o. There is a new `compopt' builtin that allows completion functions to modify - completion options for existing completions or the completion currently - being executed. - -p. The `read' builtin has a new -i option which inserts text into the reply - buffer when using readline. - -q. A new `-E' option to the complete builtin allows control of the default - behavior for completion on an empty line. - -r. There is now limited support for completing command name words containing - globbing characters. - -s. Changed format of internal help documentation for all builtins to roughly - follow man page format. - -t. The `help' builtin now has a new -d option, to display a short description, - and a -m option, to print help information in a man page-like format. - -u. There is a new `mapfile' builtin to populate an array with lines from a - given file. The name `readarray' is a synonym. - -v. If a command is not found, the shell attempts to execute a shell function - named `command_not_found_handle', supplying the command words as the - function arguments. - -w. There is a new shell option: `globstar'. When enabled, the globbing code - treats `**' specially -- it matches all directories (and files within - them, when appropriate) recursively. - -x. There is a new shell option: `dirspell'. When enabled, the filename - completion code performs spelling correction on directory names during - completion. - -y. The `-t' option to the `read' builtin now supports fractional timeout - values. - -z. Brace expansion now allows zero-padding of expanded numeric values and - will add the proper number of zeroes to make sure all values contain the - same number of digits. - -aa. There is a new bash-specific bindable readline function: `dabbrev-expand'. - It uses menu completion on a set of words taken from the history list. - -bb. The command assigned to a key sequence with `bind -x' now sets two new - variables in the environment of the executed command: READLINE_LINE_BUFFER - and READLINE_POINT. The command can change the current readline line - and cursor position by modifying READLINE_LINE_BUFFER and READLINE_POINT, - respectively. - -cc. There is a new &>> redirection operator, which appends the standard output - and standard error to the named file. - -dd. The parser now understands `|&' as a synonym for `2>&1 |', which redirects - the standard error for a command through a pipe. - -ee. The new `;&' case statement action list terminator causes execution to - continue with the action associated with the next pattern in the - statement rather than terminating the command. - -ff. The new `;;&' case statement action list terminator causes the shell to - test the next set of patterns after completing execution of the current - action, rather than terminating the command. - -gg. The shell understands a new variable: PROMPT_DIRTRIM. When set to an - integer value greater than zero, prompt expansion of \w and \W will - retain only that number of trailing pathname components and replace - the intervening characters with `...'. - -hh. There are new case-modifying word expansions: uppercase (^[^]) and - lowercase (,[,]). They can work on either the first character or - array element, or globally. They accept an optional shell pattern - that determines which characters to modify. There is an optionally- - configured feature to include capitalization operators. - -ii. The shell provides associative array variables, with the appropriate - support to create, delete, assign values to, and expand them. - -jj. The `declare' builtin now has new -l (convert value to lowercase upon - assignment) and -u (convert value to uppercase upon assignment) options. - There is an optionally-configurable -c option to capitalize a value at - assignment. - -kk. There is a new `coproc' reserved word that specifies a coprocess: an - asynchronous command run with two pipes connected to the creating shell. - Coprocs can be named. The input and output file descriptors and the - PID of the coprocess are available to the calling shell in variables - with coproc-specific names. - -ll. A value of 0 for the -t option to `read' now returns success if there is - input available to be read from the specified file descriptor. - -mm. CDPATH and GLOBIGNORE are ignored when the shell is running in privileged - mode. - -nn. New bindable readline functions shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word, - which move forward and backward words delimited by shell metacharacters - and honor shell quoting. - -oo. New bindable readline functions shell-backward-kill-word and shell-kill-word - which kill words backward and forward, but use the same word boundaries - as shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. A new variable, rl_sort_completion_matches; allows applications to inhibit - match list sorting (but beware: some things don't work right if - applications do this). - -b. A new variable, rl_completion_invoking_key; allows applications to discover - the key that invoked rl_complete or rl_menu_complete. - -c. The functions rl_block_sigint and rl_release_sigint are now public and - available to calling applications who want to protect critical sections - (like redisplay). - -d. The functions rl_save_state and rl_restore_state are now public and - available to calling applications; documented rest of readline's state - flag values. - -e. A new user-settable variable, `history-size', allows setting the maximum - number of entries in the history list. - -f. There is a new implementation of menu completion, with several improvements - over the old; the most notable improvement is a better `completions - browsing' mode. - -g. The menu completion code now uses the rl_menu_completion_entry_function - variable, allowing applications to provide their own menu completion - generators. - -h. There is support for replacing a prefix of a pathname with a `...' when - displaying possible completions. This is controllable by setting the - `completion-prefix-display-length' variable. Matches with a common prefix - longer than this value have the common prefix replaced with `...'. - -i. There is a new `revert-all-at-newline' variable. If enabled, readline will - undo all outstanding changes to all history lines when `accept-line' is - executed. - -j. If the kernel supports it, readline displays special characters - corresponding to a keyboard-generated signal when the signal is received. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-3.2 since -the release of bash-3.1. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. 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. - -2. 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-3.1 since -the release of bash-3.0. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. Bash now understands LC_TIME as a special variable so that time display - tracks the current locale. - -b. BASH_ARGC, BASH_ARGV, BASH_SOURCE, and BASH_LINENO are no longer created - as `invisible' variables and may not be unset. - -c. In POSIX mode, if `xpg_echo' option is enabled, the `echo' builtin doesn't - try to interpret any options at all, as POSIX requires. - -d. The `bg' builtin now accepts multiple arguments, as POSIX seems to specify. - -e. Fixed vi-mode word completion and glob expansion to perform tilde - expansion. - -f. The `**' mathematic exponentiation operator is now right-associative. - -g. The `ulimit' builtin has new options: -i (max number of pending signals), - -q (max size of POSIX message queues), and -x (max number of file locks). - -h. A bare `%' once again expands to the current job when used as a job - specifier. - -i. The `+=' assignment operator (append to the value of a string or array) is - now supported for assignment statements and arguments to builtin commands - that accept assignment statements. - -j. BASH_COMMAND now preserves its value when a DEBUG trap is executed. - -k. The `gnu_errfmt' option is enabled automatically if the shell is running - in an emacs terminal window. - -l. New configuration option: --single-help-strings. Causes long help text - to be written as a single string; intended to ease translation. - -m. The COMP_WORDBREAKS variable now causes the list of word break characters - to be emptied when the variable is unset. - -n. An unquoted expansion of $* when $IFS is empty now causes the positional - parameters to be concatenated if the expansion doesn't undergo word - splitting. - -o. Bash now inherits $_ from the environment if it appears there at startup. - -p. New shell option: nocasematch. If non-zero, shell pattern matching ignores - case when used by `case' and `[[' commands. - -q. The `printf' builtin takes a new option: -v var. That causes the output - to be placed into var instead of on stdout. - -r. By default, the shell no longer reports processes dying from SIGPIPE. - -s. Bash now sets the extern variable `environ' to the export environment it - creates, so C library functions that call getenv() (and can't use the - shell-provided replacement) get current values of environment variables. - -t. A new configuration option, `--enable-strict-posix-default', which will - build bash to be POSIX conforming by default. - -u. If compiled for strict POSIX conformance, LINES and COLUMNS may now - override the true terminal size. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically - bound to delete-char. - -b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the - completion list. - -c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero, - readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline - equivalents when it's called (on by default). - -d. New bindable command: vi-rubout. Saves deleted text for possible - reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound - to this in vi command mode. - -e. A new external application-controllable variable that allows the LINES - and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of - what the kernel returns: rl_prefer_env_winsize - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-3.0 since -the release of bash-2.05b. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. ANSI string expansion now implements the \x{hexdigits} escape. - -b. There is a new loadable `strftime' builtin. - -c. New variable, COMP_WORDBREAKS, which controls the readline completer's - idea of word break characters. - -d. The `type' builtin no longer reports on aliases unless alias expansion - will actually be performed. - -e. HISTCONTROL is now a colon-separated list of values, which permits - more extensibility and backwards compatibility. - -f. HISTCONTROL may now include the `erasedups' option, which causes all lines - matching a line being added to be removed from the history list. - -g. `configure' has a new `--enable-multibyte' argument that permits multibyte - character support to be disabled even on systems that support it. - -h. New variables to support the bash debugger: BASH_ARGC, BASH_ARGV, - BASH_SOURCE, BASH_LINENO, BASH_SUBSHELL, BASH_EXECUTION_STRING, - BASH_COMMAND - -i. FUNCNAME has been changed to support the debugger: it's now an array - variable. - -j. for, case, select, arithmetic commands now keep line number information - for the debugger. - -k. There is a new `RETURN' trap executed when a function or sourced script - returns (not inherited child processes; inherited by command substitution - if function tracing is enabled and the debugger is active). - -l. New invocation option: --debugger. Enables debugging and turns on new - `extdebug' shell option. - -m. New `functrace' and `errtrace' options to `set -o' cause DEBUG and ERR - traps, respectively, to be inherited by shell functions. Equivalent to - `set -T' and `set -E' respectively. The `functrace' option also controls - whether or not the DEBUG trap is inherited by sourced scripts. - -n. The DEBUG trap is run before binding the variable and running the action - list in a `for' command, binding the selection variable and running the - query in a `select' command, and before attempting a match in a `case' - command. - -o. New `--enable-debugger' option to `configure' to compile in the debugger - support code. - -p. `declare -F' now prints out extra line number and source file information - if the `extdebug' option is set. - -q. If `extdebug' is enabled, a non-zero return value from a DEBUG trap causes - the next command to be skipped, and a return value of 2 while in a - function or sourced script forces a `return'. - -r. New `caller' builtin to provide a call stack for the bash debugger. - -s. The DEBUG trap is run just before the first command in a function body is - executed, for the debugger. - -t. `for', `select', and `case' command heads are printed when `set -x' is - enabled. - -u. There is a new {x..y} brace expansion, which is shorthand for {x.x+1, - x+2,...,y}. x and y can be integers or single characters; the sequence - may ascend or descend; the increment is always 1. - -v. New ksh93-like ${!array[@]} expansion, expands to all the keys (indices) - of array. - -w. New `force_fignore' shopt option; if enabled, suffixes specified by - FIGNORE cause words to be ignored when performing word completion even - if they're the only possibilities. - -x. New `gnu_errfmt' shopt option; if enabled, error messages follow the `gnu - style' (filename:lineno:message) format. - -y.

New application variable, rl_completion_quote_character, set to any - quote character readline finds before it calls the application completion - function. - -j. New application variable, rl_completion_suppress_quote, settable by an - application completion function. If set to non-zero, readline does not - attempt to append a closing quote to a completed word. - -k. New application variable, rl_completion_found_quote, set to a non-zero - value if readline determines that the word to be completed is quoted. - Set before readline calls any application completion function. - -l. New function hook, rl_completion_word_break_hook, called when readline - needs to break a line into words when completion is attempted. Allows - the word break characters to vary based on position in the line. - -m. New bindable command: unix-filename-rubout. Does the same thing as - unix-word-rubout, but adds `/' to the set of word delimiters. - -n. When listing completions, directories have a `/' appended if the - `mark-directories' option has been enabled. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.05b since -the release of bash-2.05a. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. If set, TMOUT is the default timeout for the `read' builtin. - -b. `type' has two new options: `-f' suppresses shell function lookup, and - `-P' forces a $PATH search. - -c.

If a numeric argument is supplied to one of the bash globbing completion - functions, a `*' is appended to the word before expansion is attempted. - -l. The bash globbing completion functions now allow completions to be listed - with double tabs or if `show-all-if-ambiguous' is set. - -m. New `-o nospace' option for `complete' and `compgen' builtins; suppresses - readline's appending a space to the completed word. - -n. New `here-string' redirection operator: <<< word. - -o.

The `printf' %q format specifier now uses $'...' quoting to print the - argument if it contains non-printing characters. - -v. The `declare' and `typeset' builtins have a new `-t' option. When applied - to functions, it causes the DEBUG trap to be inherited by the named - function. Currently has no effect on variables. - -w. The DEBUG trap is now run *before* simple commands, ((...)) commands, - [[...]] conditional commands, and for ((...)) loops. - -x. The expansion of $LINENO inside a shell function is only relative to the - function start if the shell is interactive -- if the shell is running a - script, $LINENO expands to the line number in the script. This is as - POSIX-2001 requires. - -y. The bash debugger in examples/bashdb has been modified to work with the - new DEBUG trap semantics, the command set has been made more gdb-like, - and the changes to $LINENO make debugging functions work better. Code - from Gary Vaughan. - -z. New [n]<&word- and [n]>&word- redirections from ksh93 -- move fds (dup - and close). - -aa. There is a new `-l' invocation option, equivalent to `--login'. - -bb.

New code to handle editing and displaying multibyte characters. - -d. The behavior introduced in bash-2.05a of deciding whether or not to - append a slash to a completed name that is a symlink to a directory has - been made optional, controlled by the `mark-symlinked-directories' - variable (default is the 2.05a behavior). - -e. The `insert-comment' command now acts as a toggle if given a numeric - argument: if the first characters on the line don't specify a - comment, insert one; if they do, delete the comment text - -f. New application-settable completion variable: - rl_completion_mark_symlink_dirs, allows an application's completion - function to temporarily override the user's preference for appending - slashes to names which are symlinks to directories. - -g. New function available to application completion functions: - rl_completion_mode, to tell how the completion function was invoked - and decide which argument to supply to rl_complete_internal (to list - completions, etc.). - -h. Readline now has an overwrite mode, toggled by the `overwrite-mode' - bindable command, which could be bound to `Insert'. - -i. New application-settable completion variable: - rl_completion_suppress_append, inhibits appending of - rl_completion_append_character to completed words. - -j. New key bindings when reading an incremental search string: ^W yanks - the currently-matched word out of the current line into the search - string; ^Y yanks the rest of the current line into the search string, - DEL or ^H deletes characters from the search string. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.05a since -the release of bash-2.05. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a.

The `ERR' trap will be run - whenever the shell would have exited if the -e option were enabled. - It is not inherited by shell functions. - -m. `readonly', `export', and `declare' now print variables which have been - given attributes but not set by assigning a value as just a command and - a variable name (like `export foo') when listing, as the latest POSIX - drafts require. - -n. `bashbug' now requires that the subject be changed from the default. - -o. configure has a new `--enable-largefile' option, like other GNU utilities. - -p. `for' loops now allow empty word lists after `in', like the latest POSIX - drafts require. - -q. The builtin `ulimit' now takes two new non-numeric arguments: `hard', - meaning the current hard limit, and `soft', meaning the current soft - limit, in addition to `unlimited' - -r. `ulimit' now prints the option letter associated with a particular - resource when printing more than one limit. - -s. `ulimit' prints `hard' or `soft' when a value is not `unlimited' but is - one of RLIM_SAVED_MAX or RLIM_SAVED_CUR, respectively. - -t.

As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. Added a new `--init-file' invocation argument as a synonym for `--rcfile', - per the new GNU coding standards. - -b. The /dev/tcp and /dev/udp redirections now accept service names as well as - port numbers. - -c. `complete' and `compgen' now take a `-o value' option, which controls some - of the aspects of that compspec. Valid values are: - - default - perform bash default completion if programmable - completion produces no matches - dirnames - perform directory name completion if programmable - completion produces no matches - filenames - tell readline that the compspec produces filenames, - so it can do things like append slashes to - directory names and suppress trailing spaces - -d. A new loadable builtin, realpath, which canonicalizes and expands symlinks - in pathname arguments. - -e. When `set' is called without options, it prints function defintions in a - way that allows them to be reused as input. This affects `declare' and - `declare -p' as well. This only happens when the shell is not in POSIX - mode, since POSIX.2 forbids this behavior. - -f. Bash-2.05 once again honors the current locale setting when processing - ranges within pattern matching bracket expressions (e.g., [A-Z]). - -2. New Features in Readline - -a.

Renamed the max_input_history variable to history_max_entries; the old - variable is maintained for backwards compatibility. - -i. The list of characters that separate words for the history tokenizer is - now settable with a variable: history_word_delimiters. The default - value is as before. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.04 since -the release of bash-2.03.

The `read' builtin has a number of new options: - -t timeout only wait timeout seconds for input - -n nchars only read nchars from input instead of a full line - -d delim read until delim rather than newline - -s don't echo input chars as they are read - -i. The redirection code now handles several filenames specially: - /dev/fd/N, /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, and /dev/stderr, whether or - not they are present in the file system. - -j. The redirection code now recognizes pathnames of the form - /dev/tcp/host/port and /dev/udp/host/port, and tries to open a socket - of the appropriate type to the specified port on the specified host. - -k. The ksh-93 ${!prefix*} expansion, which expands to the names of all - shell variables with prefix PREFIX, has been implemented. - -l. There is a new dynamic variable, FUNCNAME, which expands to the name of - a currently-executing function. Assignments to FUNCNAME have no effect. - -m. The GROUPS variable is no longer readonly; assignments to it are silently - discarded. This means it can be unset. - -n. A new programmable completion facility, with two new builtin commands: - complete and compgen. - -o. configure has a new option, `--enable-progcomp', to compile in the - programmable completion features (enabled by default). - -p. `shopt' has a new option, `progcomp', to enable and disable programmable - completion at runtime. - -q.

New Features in Readline - -a. Many changes to the signal handling: - o Readline now catches SIGQUIT and cleans up the tty before returning; - o A new variable, rl_catch_signals, is available to application writers - to indicate to readline whether or not it should install its own - signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT, SIGALRM, SIGTSTP, - SIGTTIN, and SIGTTOU; - o A new variable, rl_catch_sigwinch, is available to application - writers to indicate to readline whether or not it should install its - own signal handler for SIGWINCH, which will chain to the calling - applications's SIGWINCH handler, if one is installed; - o There is a new function, rl_free_line_state, for application signal - handlers to call to free up the state associated with the current - line after receiving a signal; - o There is a new function, rl_cleanup_after_signal, to clean up the - display and terminal state after receiving a signal; - o There is a new function, rl_reset_after_signal, to reinitialize the - terminal and display state after an application signal handler - returns and readline continues - -b. There is a new function, rl_resize_terminal, to reset readline's idea of - the screen size after a SIGWINCH. - -c. New public functions: rl_save_prompt and rl_restore_prompt.

There is a new invocation option, -D, that dumps translatable strings - in a script. - -b. The `long' invocation options must now be prefixed with `--'. - -c. New long invocation options: --dump-strings, --help, --verbose - -d. The `nolineediting' invocation option was renamed to `noediting'. - -e. The `nobraceexpansion' and `quiet' long invocation options were removed. - -f. The `--help' and `--version' long options now work as the GNU coding - standards specify. - -g. If invoked as `sh', bash now enters posix mode after reading the - startup files, and reads and executes commands from the file named - by $ENV if interactive (as POSIX.2 specifies). A login shell invoked - as `sh' reads $ENV after /etc/profile and ~/.profile. - -h. There is a new reserved word, `time', for timing pipelines, builtin - commands, and shell functions. It uses the value of the TIMEFORMAT - variable as a format string describing how to print the timing - statistics. - -i. The $'...' quoting syntax expands ANSI-C escapes in ... and leaves the - result single-quoted. - -j. The $"..." quoting syntax performs locale-specific translation of ... - and leaves the result double-quoted. - -k. LINENO now works correctly in functions. - -l. New variables: DIRSTACK, PIPESTATUS, BASH_VERSINFO, HOSTNAME, SHELLOPTS, - MACHTYPE. The first three are array variables. - -m. The BASH_VERSION and BASH_VERSINFO variables now include the shell's - `release status' (alpha[N], beta[N], release). - -n. Some variables have been removed: MAIL_WARNING, notify, history_control, - command_oriented_history, glob_dot_filenames, allow_null_glob_expansion, - nolinks, hostname_completion_file, noclobber, no_exit_on_failed_exec, and - cdable_vars. Most of them are now implemented with the new `shopt' - builtin; others were already implemented by `set'. - -o. Bash now uses some new variables: LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LC_CTYPE, - LC_COLLATE, LANG, GLOBIGNORE, HISTIGNORE. - -p. The shell now supports integer-indexed arrays of unlimited length, - with a new compound assignment syntax and changes to the appropriate - builtin commands (declare/typeset, read, readonly, etc.). The array - index may be an arithmetic expression. - -q. ${!var}: indirect variable expansion, equivalent to eval \${$var}. - -r. ${paramter:offset[:length]}: variable substring extraction. - -s. ${parameter/pattern[/[/]string]}: variable pattern substitution. - -t. The $[...] arithmetic expansion syntax is no longer supported, in - favor of $((...)). - -u. Aliases can now be expanded in shell scripts with a shell option - (shopt expand_aliases). - -v. History and history expansion can now be used in scripts with - set -o history and set -H. - -w. All builtins now return an exit status of 2 for incorrect usage. - -x. Interactive shells resend SIGHUP to all running or stopped children - if (and only if) they exit due to a SIGHUP. - -y. New prompting expansions: \a, \e, \H, \T, \@, \v, \V. - -z. Variable expansion in prompt strings is now controllable via a shell - option (shopt promptvars). - -aa. Bash now defaults to using command-oriented history. - -bb. The history file ($HISTFILE) is now truncated to $HISTFILESIZE after - being written. - -cc. The POSIX.2 conditional arithmetic evaluation syntax (expr ? expr : expr) - has been implemented. - -dd. Each builtin now accepts `--' to signify the end of the options, except - as documented (echo, etc.). - -ee. All builtins use -p to display values in a re-readable format where - appropriate, except as documented (echo, type, etc.). - -ff. The `alias' builtin has a new -p option. - -gg. Changes to the `bind' builtin: - o has new options: -psPSVr. - o the `-d' option was renamed to `-p' - o the `-v' option now dumps variables; the old `-v' is now `-P' - -hh. The `bye' synonym for `exit' was removed. - -ii. The -L and -P options to `cd' and `pwd' have been documented. - -jj. The `cd' builtin now does spelling correction on the directory name - by default. This is settable with a shell option (shopt cdspell). - -kk. The `declare' builtin has new options: -a, -F, -p. - -ll. The `dirs' builtin has new options: -c, -p, -v. - -mm. The new `disown' builtin removes jobs from the shell's jobs table - or inhibits the resending of SIGHUP when the shell receives a - SIGHUP. - -nn. The `echo' builtin has a new escape character: \e. - -oo. The `enable' builtin can now load new builtins dynamically from shared - objects on systems with the dlopen/dlsym interface. There are a number - of examples in the examples/loadables directory. There are also - new options: -d, -f, -s, -p. - -pp. The `-all' option to `enable' was removed in favor of `-a'. - -qq. The `exec' builtin has new options: -l, -c, -a. - -rr. The `hash' builtin has a new option: -p. - -ss. The `history' builtin has new options: -c, -p, -s. - -tt. The `jobs' builtin has new options: -r, -s. - -uu. The `kill' builtin has new options: -n signum, -l signame. - -vv. The `pushd' and `popd' builtins have a new option: -n. - -ww. The `read' builtin has new options: -p prompt, -e, -a. - -xx. The `readonly' builtin has a new -a option, and the -n option was removed. - -yy. Changes to the `set' builtin: - o new options: -B, -o keyword, -o onecmd, -o history - o options removed: -l, -d, -o nohash - o options changed: +o, -h, -o hashall - o now displays variables in a format that can be re-read as input - -zz. The new `shopt' builtin controls shell optional behavior previously - done by setting and unsetting certain shell variables. - -aaa. The `test' builtin has new operators: -o option, s1 == s2, s1 < s2, - and s1 > s2, where s1 and s2 are strings. - -bbb. There is a new trap, DEBUG, executed after every simple command. - -ccc. The `trap' builtin has a new -p option. - -ddd. The `ulimit' builtin has a new -l option on 4.4BSD-based systems. - -eee. The PS1, PS2, PATH, and IFS variables may now be unset. - -fff. The restricted shell mode has been expanded and is now documented. - -ggg. Security improvements: - o functions are not imported from the environment if running setuid - or with -p - o no startup files are sourced if running setuid or with -p - -hhh. The documentation has been overhauled: the texinfo manual was - expanded, and HTML versions of the man page and texinfo manual - are included. - -iii. Changes to Posix mode: - o Command lookup now finds special builtins before shell functions. - o Failure of a special builtin causes a non-interactive shell to - exit. Failures are defined in the POSIX.2 specification. - o If the `cd' builtin finds a directory to change to using $CDPATH, - the value assigned to PWD when `cd' completes does not contain - any symbolic links. - o A non-interactive shell exits if a variable assignment error - occurs when no command name follows the assignment statements. - o A non-interactive shell exits if the interation variable in a - `for' statement or the selection variable in a `select' statement - is read-only or another variable assignment error occurs. - o The `<>' redirection operator now opens a file for both stdin and - stdout by default, not just when in posix mode. - o Assignment statements preceding special builtins now persist in - the shell's environment when the builtin completes. - - Posix mode is now completely POSIX.2-compliant (modulo bugs). When - invoked as sh, bash should be completely POSIX.2-compliant. - -jjj. The default value of PS1 is now "\s-\v\$ ". - -kkk. The ksh-like ((...)) arithmetic command syntax has been implemented. - This is exactly equivalent to `let "..."'. - -lll. Integer constants have been extended to base 64. - -mmm. The `ulimit' builtin now sets both hard and soft limits and reports the - soft limit by default. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. New variables: enable-keypad, input-meta (new name for meta-flag), - mark-directories, visible-stats (now documented), disable-completion, - comment-begin. - -b. New bindable commands: kill-region, copy-region-as-kill, - copy-backward-word, copy-forward-word, set-mark, exchange-point-and-mark, - character-search, character-search-backward, insert-comment, - glob-expand-word, glob-list-expansions, dump-variables, dump-macros. - -c. New emacs keybindings: delete-horizontal-space (M-\), - insert-completions (M-*), possible-completions (M-=). - -d. The history-search-backward and history-search-forward commands were - modified to be the same as previous-line and next-line if point is at - the start of the line. - -e. More file types are available for the visible-stats mode. - -3. Changes of interest in the Bash implementation - -a. There is a new autoconf-based configuration mechanism. - -b. More things have been moved from Posix mode to standard shell behavior. - -c. The trace output (set -x) now inserts quotes where necessary so it can - be reused as input. - -d. There is a compile-time option for a system-wide interactive shell - startup file (disabled by default). - -e. The YACC grammar is smaller and tighter, and all 66 shift-reduce - conflicts are gone. Several parsing bugs have been fixed. - -f. Builtin option parsing has been regularized (using internal_getopt()), - with the exception of `echo', `type', and `set'. - -g. Builtins now return standard usage messages constructed from the - `short doc' used by the help builtin. - -h. Completion now quotes using backslashes by default, but honors - user-supplied quotes. - -i. The GNU libc malloc is available as a configure-time option. - -j. There are more internationalization features; bash uses gettext if - it is available. The $"..." translation syntax uses the current - locale and gettext. - -k. There is better reporting of job termination when the shell is not - interactive. - -l. The shell is somewhat more efficient: it uses a little less memory and - makes fewer system calls. - -4. Changes of interest in the Readline implementation - -a. There is now support for readline `callback' functions. - -b. There is now support for user-supplied input, redisplay, and terminal - preparation functions. - -c. Most of the shell-specific code in readline has been generalized or - removed. - -d. Most of the annoying redisplay bugs have been fixed, notably the problems - with incremental search and excessive redrawing when special characters - appear in the prompt string. - -e. There are new library functions and variables available to application - writers, most having to do with completion and quoting. - -f. The NEWLINE character (^J) is now treated as a search terminator by the - incremental search functions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, -are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright -notice and this notice are preserved.

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, so `help read' - does not match `readonly'. - -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} operators to the [[ conditional command now do string - comparison according to the current locale if the compatibility level - is greater than 40. - -r. Programmable completion now uses the completion for `b' instead of `a' - when completion is attempted on a line like: a $(b c. - -s. Force extglob on temporarily when parsing the pattern argument to - the == and != operators to the [[ command, for compatibility. - -t. Changed the behavior of interrupting the wait builtin when a SIGCHLD is - received and a trap on SIGCHLD is set to be Posix-mode only. - -u. The read builtin has a new `-N nchars' option, which reads exactly NCHARS - characters, ignoring delimiters like newline. - -v. The mapfile/readarray builtin no longer stores the commands it invokes via - callbacks in the history list. - -w. There is a new `compat40' shopt option. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. New bindable function: menu-complete-backward. - -b. In the vi insertion keymap, C-n is now bound to menu-complete by default, - and C-p to menu-complete-backward. - -c. When in vi command mode, repeatedly hitting ESC now does nothing, even - when ESC introduces a bound key sequence. This is closer to how - historical vi behaves. - -d. New bindable function: skip-csi-sequence. Can be used as a default to - consume key sequences generated by keys like Home and End without having - to bind all keys. - -e. New application-settable function: rl_filename_rewrite_hook. Can be used - to rewite or modify filenames read from the file system before they are - compared to the word to be completed. - -f. New bindable variable: skip-completed-text, active when completing in the - middle of a word. If enabled, it means that characters in the completion - that match characters in the remainder of the word are "skipped" rather - than inserted into the line. - -g. The pre-readline-6.0 version of menu completion is available as - "old-menu-complete" for users who do not like the readline-6.0 version. - -h. New bindable variable: echo-control-characters. If enabled, and the - tty ECHOCTL bit is set, controls the echoing of characters corresponding - to keyboard-generated signals. - -i. New bindable variable: enable-meta-key. Controls whether or not readline - sends the smm/rmm sequences if the terminal indicates it has a meta key - that enables eight-bit characters. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.0 since -the release of bash-3.2. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. When using substring expansion on the positional parameters, a starting - index of 0 now causes $0 to be prefixed to the list. - -b. The `help' builtin now prints its columns with entries sorted vertically - rather than horizontally. - -c. There is a new variable, $BASHPID, which always returns the process id of - the current shell. - -d. There is a new `autocd' option that, when enabled, causes bash to attempt - to `cd' to a directory name that is supplied as the first word of a - simple command. - -e. There is a new `checkjobs' option that causes the shell to check for and - report any running or stopped jobs at exit. - -f. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_TYPE variable, set to - a character describing the type of completion being attempted. - -g. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_KEY variable, set to - the character that caused the completion to be invoked (e.g., TAB). - -h. If creation of a child process fails due to insufficient resources, bash - will try again several times before reporting failure. - -i. The programmable completion code now uses the same set of characters as - readline when breaking the command line into a list of words. - -j. The block multiplier for the ulimit -c and -f options is now 512 when in - Posix mode, as Posix specifies. - -k. Changed the behavior of the read builtin to save any partial input received - in the specified variable when the read builtin times out. This also - results in variables specified as arguments to read to be set to the empty - string when there is no input available. When the read builtin times out, - it returns an exit status greater than 128. - -l. The shell now has the notion of a `compatibility level', controlled by - new variables settable by `shopt'. Setting this variable currently - restores the bash-3.1 behavior when processing quoted strings on the rhs - of the `=~' operator to the `[[' command. - -m. The `ulimit' builtin now has new -b (socket buffer size) and -T (number - of threads) options. - -n. The -p option to `declare' now displays all variable values and attributes - (or function values and attributes if used with -f). - -o. There is a new `compopt' builtin that allows completion functions to modify - completion options for existing completions or the completion currently - being executed. - -p. The `read' builtin has a new -i option which inserts text into the reply - buffer when using readline. - -q. A new `-E' option to the complete builtin allows control of the default - behavior for completion on an empty line. - -r. There is now limited support for completing command name words containing - globbing characters. - -s. Changed format of internal help documentation for all builtins to roughly - follow man page format. - -t. The `help' builtin now has a new -d option, to display a short description, - and a -m option, to print help information in a man page-like format. - -u. There is a new `mapfile' builtin to populate an array with lines from a - given file. The name `readarray' is a synonym. - -v. If a command is not found, the shell attempts to execute a shell function - named `command_not_found_handle', supplying the command words as the - function arguments. - -w. There is a new shell option: `globstar'. When enabled, the globbing code - treats `**' specially -- it matches all directories (and files within - them, when appropriate) recursively. - -x. There is a new shell option: `dirspell'. When enabled, the filename - completion code performs spelling correction on directory names during - completion. - -y. The `-t' option to the `read' builtin now supports fractional timeout - values. - -z. Brace expansion now allows zero-padding of expanded numeric values and - will add the proper number of zeroes to make sure all values contain the - same number of digits. - -aa. There is a new bash-specific bindable readline function: `dabbrev-expand'. - It uses menu completion on a set of words taken from the history list. - -bb. The command assigned to a key sequence with `bind -x' now sets two new - variables in the environment of the executed command: READLINE_LINE_BUFFER - and READLINE_POINT. The command can change the current readline line - and cursor position by modifying READLINE_LINE_BUFFER and READLINE_POINT, - respectively. - -cc. There is a new &>> redirection operator, which appends the standard output - and standard error to the named file. - -dd. The parser now understands `|&' as a synonym for `2>&1 |', which redirects - the standard error for a command through a pipe. - -ee. The new `;&' case statement action list terminator causes execution to - continue with the action associated with the next pattern in the - statement rather than terminating the command. - -ff. The new `;;&' case statement action list terminator causes the shell to - test the next set of patterns after completing execution of the current - action, rather than terminating the command. - -gg. The shell understands a new variable: PROMPT_DIRTRIM. When set to an - integer value greater than zero, prompt expansion of \w and \W will - retain only that number of trailing pathname components and replace - the intervening characters with `...'. - -hh. There are new case-modifying word expansions: uppercase (^[^]) and - lowercase (,[,]). They can work on either the first character or - array element, or globally. They accept an optional shell pattern - that determines which characters to modify. There is an optionally- - configured feature to include capitalization operators. - -ii. The shell provides associative array variables, with the appropriate - support to create, delete, assign values to, and expand them. - -jj. The `declare' builtin now has new -l (convert value to lowercase upon - assignment) and -u (convert value to uppercase upon assignment) options. - There is an optionally-configurable -c option to capitalize a value at - assignment. - -kk. There is a new `coproc' reserved word that specifies a coprocess: an - asynchronous command run with two pipes connected to the creating shell. - Coprocs can be named. The input and output file descriptors and the - PID of the coprocess are available to the calling shell in variables - with coproc-specific names. - -ll. A value of 0 for the -t option to `read' now returns success if there is - input available to be read from the specified file descriptor. - -mm. CDPATH and GLOBIGNORE are ignored when the shell is running in privileged - mode. - -nn. New bindable readline functions shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word, - which move forward and backward words delimited by shell metacharacters - and honor shell quoting. - -oo. New bindable readline functions shell-backward-kill-word and shell-kill-word - which kill words backward and forward, but use the same word boundaries - as shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. A new variable, rl_sort_completion_matches; allows applications to inhibit - match list sorting (but beware: some things don't work right if - applications do this). - -b. A new variable, rl_completion_invoking_key; allows applications to discover - the key that invoked rl_complete or rl_menu_complete. - -c. The functions rl_block_sigint and rl_release_sigint are now public and - available to calling applications who want to protect critical sections - (like redisplay). - -d. The functions rl_save_state and rl_restore_state are now public and - available to calling applications; documented rest of readline's state - flag values. - -e. A new user-settable variable, `history-size', allows setting the maximum - number of entries in the history list. - -f. There is a new implementation of menu completion, with several improvements - over the old; the most notable improvement is a better `completions - browsing' mode. - -g. The menu completion code now uses the rl_menu_completion_entry_function - variable, allowing applications to provide their own menu completion - generators. - -h. There is support for replacing a prefix of a pathname with a `...' when - displaying possible completions. This is controllable by setting the - `completion-prefix-display-length' variable. Matches with a common prefix - longer than this value have the common prefix replaced with `...'. - -i. There is a new `revert-all-at-newline' variable. If enabled, readline will - undo all outstanding changes to all history lines when `accept-line' is - executed. - -j. If the kernel supports it, readline displays special characters - corresponding to a keyboard-generated signal when the signal is received. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-3.2 since -the release of bash-3.1. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. 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. - -2. 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-3.1 since -the release of bash-3.0. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. Bash now understands LC_TIME as a special variable so that time display - tracks the current locale. - -b. BASH_ARGC, BASH_ARGV, BASH_SOURCE, and BASH_LINENO are no longer created - as `invisible' variables and may not be unset. - -c. In POSIX mode, if `xpg_echo' option is enabled, the `echo' builtin doesn't - try to interpret any options at all, as POSIX requires. - -d. The `bg' builtin now accepts multiple arguments, as POSIX seems to specify. - -e. Fixed vi-mode word completion and glob expansion to perform tilde - expansion. - -f. The `**' mathematic exponentiation operator is now right-associative. - -g. The `ulimit' builtin has new options: -i (max number of pending signals), - -q (max size of POSIX message queues), and -x (max number of file locks). - -h. A bare `%' once again expands to the current job when used as a job - specifier. - -i. The `+=' assignment operator (append to the value of a string or array) is - now supported for assignment statements and arguments to builtin commands - that accept assignment statements. - -j. BASH_COMMAND now preserves its value when a DEBUG trap is executed. - -k. The `gnu_errfmt' option is enabled automatically if the shell is running - in an emacs terminal window. - -l. New configuration option: --single-help-strings. Causes long help text - to be written as a single string; intended to ease translation. - -m. The COMP_WORDBREAKS variable now causes the list of word break characters - to be emptied when the variable is unset. - -n. An unquoted expansion of $* when $IFS is empty now causes the positional - parameters to be concatenated if the expansion doesn't undergo word - splitting. - -o. Bash now inherits $_ from the environment if it appears there at startup. - -p. New shell option: nocasematch. If non-zero, shell pattern matching ignores - case when used by `case' and `[[' commands. - -q. The `printf' builtin takes a new option: -v var. That causes the output - to be placed into var instead of on stdout. - -r. By default, the shell no longer reports processes dying from SIGPIPE. - -s. Bash now sets the extern variable `environ' to the export environment it - creates, so C library functions that call getenv() (and can't use the - shell-provided replacement) get current values of environment variables. - -t. A new configuration option, `--enable-strict-posix-default', which will - build bash to be POSIX conforming by default. - -u. If compiled for strict POSIX conformance, LINES and COLUMNS may now - override the true terminal size. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically - bound to delete-char. - -b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the - completion list. - -c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero, - readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline - equivalents when it's called (on by default). - -d. New bindable command: vi-rubout. Saves deleted text for possible - reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound - to this in vi command mode. - -e. A new external application-controllable variable that allows the LINES - and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of - what the kernel returns: rl_prefer_env_winsize - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-3.0 since -the release of bash-2.05b. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. ANSI string expansion now implements the \x{hexdigits} escape. - -b. There is a new loadable `strftime' builtin. - -c. New variable, COMP_WORDBREAKS, which controls the readline completer's - idea of word break characters. - -d. The `type' builtin no longer reports on aliases unless alias expansion - will actually be performed. - -e. HISTCONTROL is now a colon-separated list of values, which permits - more extensibility and backwards compatibility. - -f. HISTCONTROL may now include the `erasedups' option, which causes all lines - matching a line being added to be removed from the history list. - -g. `configure' has a new `--enable-multibyte' argument that permits multibyte - character support to be disabled even on systems that support it. - -h. New variables to support the bash debugger: BASH_ARGC, BASH_ARGV, - BASH_SOURCE, BASH_LINENO, BASH_SUBSHELL, BASH_EXECUTION_STRING, - BASH_COMMAND - -i. FUNCNAME has been changed to support the debugger: it's now an array - variable. - -j. for, case, select, arithmetic commands now keep line number information - for the debugger. - -k. There is a new `RETURN' trap executed when a function or sourced script - returns (not inherited child processes; inherited by command substitution - if function tracing is enabled and the debugger is active). - -l. New invocation option: --debugger. Enables debugging and turns on new - `extdebug' shell option. - -m. New `functrace' and `errtrace' options to `set -o' cause DEBUG and ERR - traps, respectively, to be inherited by shell functions. Equivalent to - `set -T' and `set -E' respectively. The `functrace' option also controls - whether or not the DEBUG trap is inherited by sourced scripts. - -n. The DEBUG trap is run before binding the variable and running the action - list in a `for' command, binding the selection variable and running the - query in a `select' command, and before attempting a match in a `case' - command. - -o. New `--enable-debugger' option to `configure' to compile in the debugger - support code. - -p. `declare -F' now prints out extra line number and source file information - if the `extdebug' option is set. - -q. If `extdebug' is enabled, a non-zero return value from a DEBUG trap causes - the next command to be skipped, and a return value of 2 while in a - function or sourced script forces a `return'. - -r. New `caller' builtin to provide a call stack for the bash debugger. - -s. The DEBUG trap is run just before the first command in a function body is - executed, for the debugger. - -t. `for', `select', and `case' command heads are printed when `set -x' is - enabled. - -u. There is a new {x..y} brace expansion, which is shorthand for {x.x+1, - x+2,...,y}. x and y can be integers or single characters; the sequence - may ascend or descend; the increment is always 1. - -v. New ksh93-like ${!array[@]} expansion, expands to all the keys (indices) - of array. - -w. New `force_fignore' shopt option; if enabled, suffixes specified by - FIGNORE cause words to be ignored when performing word completion even - if they're the only possibilities. - -x. New `gnu_errfmt' shopt option; if enabled, error messages follow the `gnu - style' (filename:lineno:message) format. - -y. New `-o bashdefault' option to complete and compgen; if set, causes the - whole set of bash completions to be performed if the compspec doesn't - result in a match. - -z. New `-o plusdirs' option to complete and compgen; if set, causes directory - name completion to be performed and the results added to the rest of the - possible completions. - -aa. `kill' is available as a builtin even when the shell is built without - job control. - -bb. New HISTTIMEFORMAT variable; value is a format string to pass to - strftime(3). If set and not null, the `history' builtin prints out - timestamp information according to the specified format when displaying - history entries. If set, bash tells the history library to write out - timestamp information when the history file is written. - -cc. The [[ ... ]] command has a new binary `=~' operator that performs - extended regular expression (egrep-like) matching. - -dd. `configure' has a new `--enable-cond-regexp' option (enabled by default) - to enable the =~ operator and regexp matching in [[ ... ]]. - -ee. Subexpressions matched by the =~ operator are placed in the new - BASH_REMATCH array variable. - -ff. New `failglob' option that causes an expansion error when pathname - expansion fails to produce a match. - -gg. New `set -o pipefail' option that causes a pipeline to return a failure - status if any of the processes in the pipeline fail, not just the last - one. - -hh. printf builtin understands two new escape sequences: \" and \?. - -ii. `echo -e' understands two new escape sequences: \" and \?. - -jj. The GNU `gettext' package and libintl have been integrated; the shell's - messages can be translated into different languages. - -kk. The `\W' prompt expansion now abbreviates $HOME as `~', like `\w'. - -ll. The error message printed when bash cannot open a shell script supplied - as argument 1 now includes the name of the shell, to better identify - the error as coming from bash. - -mm. The parameter pattern removal and substitution expansions are now much - faster and more efficient when using multibyte characters. - -nn. The `jobs', `kill', and `wait' builtins now accept job control notation - even if job control is not enabled. - -oo. The historical behavior of `trap' that allows a missing `action' argument - to cause each specified signal's handling to be reset to its default is - now only supported when `trap' is given a single non-option argument. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. History expansion has a new `a' modifier equivalent to the `g' modifier - for compatibility with the BSD csh. - -b. History expansion has a new `G' modifier equivalent to the BSD csh `g' - modifier, which performs a substitution once per word. - -c. All non-incremental search operations may now undo the operation of - replacing the current line with the history line. - -d. The text inserted by an `a' command in vi mode can be reinserted with - `.'. - -e. New bindable variable, `show-all-if-unmodified'. If set, the readline - completer will list possible completions immediately if there is more - than one completion and partial completion cannot be performed. - -f. There is a new application-callable `free_history_entry()' function. - -g. History list entries now contain timestamp information; the history file - functions know how to read and write timestamp information associated - with each entry. - -h. Four new key binding functions have been added: - - rl_bind_key_if_unbound() - rl_bind_key_if_unbound_in_map() - rl_bind_keyseq_if_unbound() - rl_bind_keyseq_if_unbound_in_map() - -i. New application variable, rl_completion_quote_character, set to any - quote character readline finds before it calls the application completion - function. - -j. New application variable, rl_completion_suppress_quote, settable by an - application completion function. If set to non-zero, readline does not - attempt to append a closing quote to a completed word. - -k. New application variable, rl_completion_found_quote, set to a non-zero - value if readline determines that the word to be completed is quoted. - Set before readline calls any application completion function. - -l. New function hook, rl_completion_word_break_hook, called when readline - needs to break a line into words when completion is attempted. Allows - the word break characters to vary based on position in the line. - -m. New bindable command: unix-filename-rubout. Does the same thing as - unix-word-rubout, but adds `/' to the set of word delimiters. - -n. When listing completions, directories have a `/' appended if the - `mark-directories' option has been enabled. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.05b since -the release of bash-2.05a. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. If set, TMOUT is the default timeout for the `read' builtin. - -b. `type' has two new options: `-f' suppresses shell function lookup, and - `-P' forces a $PATH search. - -c. New code to handle multibyte characters. - -d. `select' was changed to be more ksh-compatible, in that the menu is - reprinted each time through the loop only if REPLY is set to NULL. - The previous behavior is available as a compile-time option. - -e. `complete -d' and `complete -o dirnames' now force a slash to be - appended to names which are symlinks to directories. - -f. There is now a bindable edit-and-execute-command readline command, - like the vi-mode `v' command, bound to C-xC-e in emacs mode. - -g. Added support for ksh93-like [:word:] character class in pattern matching. - -h. The $'...' quoting construct now expands \cX to Control-X. - -i. A new \D{...} prompt expansion; passes the `...' to strftime and inserts - the result into the expanded prompt. - -j. The shell now performs arithmetic in the largest integer size the - machine supports (intmax_t), instead of long. - -k. If a numeric argument is supplied to one of the bash globbing completion - functions, a `*' is appended to the word before expansion is attempted. - -l. The bash globbing completion functions now allow completions to be listed - with double tabs or if `show-all-if-ambiguous' is set. - -m. New `-o nospace' option for `complete' and `compgen' builtins; suppresses - readline's appending a space to the completed word. - -n. New `here-string' redirection operator: <<< word. - -o. When displaying variables, function attributes and definitions are shown - separately, allowing them to be re-used as input (attempting to re-use - the old output would result in syntax errors). - -p. There is a new configuration option `--enable-mem-scramble', controls - bash malloc behavior of writing garbage characters into memory at - allocation and free time. - -q.

Fix the completion code so that expansion errors in a directory name - don't cause a longjmp back to the command loop. - -t. Fixed word completion inside command substitution to work a little more - intuitively. - -u. The `printf' %q format specifier now uses $'...' quoting to print the - argument if it contains non-printing characters. - -v. The `declare' and `typeset' builtins have a new `-t' option. When applied - to functions, it causes the DEBUG trap to be inherited by the named - function. Currently has no effect on variables. - -w. The DEBUG trap is now run *before* simple commands, ((...)) commands, - [[...]] conditional commands, and for ((...)) loops. - -x. The expansion of $LINENO inside a shell function is only relative to the - function start if the shell is interactive -- if the shell is running a - script, $LINENO expands to the line number in the script. This is as - POSIX-2001 requires. - -y. The bash debugger in examples/bashdb has been modified to work with the - new DEBUG trap semantics, the command set has been made more gdb-like, - and the changes to $LINENO make debugging functions work better. Code - from Gary Vaughan. - -z. New [n]<&word- and [n]>&word- redirections from ksh93 -- move fds (dup - and close). - -aa. There is a new `-l' invocation option, equivalent to `--login'. - -bb. The `hash' builtin has a new `-l' option to list contents in a reusable - format, and a `-d' option to remove a name from the hash table. - -cc.

New Features in Readline - -a. Support for key `subsequences': allows, e.g., ESC and ESC-a to both - be bound to readline functions. Now the arrow keys may be used in vi - insert mode. - -b. When listing completions, and the number of lines displayed is more than - the screen length, readline uses an internal pager to display the results. - This is controlled by the `page-completions' variable (default on). - -c. New code to handle editing and displaying multibyte characters. - -d. The behavior introduced in bash-2.05a of deciding whether or not to - append a slash to a completed name that is a symlink to a directory has - been made optional, controlled by the `mark-symlinked-directories' - variable (default is the 2.05a behavior). - -e. The `insert-comment' command now acts as a toggle if given a numeric - argument: if the first characters on the line don't specify a - comment, insert one; if they do, delete the comment text - -f. New application-settable completion variable: - rl_completion_mark_symlink_dirs, allows an application's completion - function to temporarily override the user's preference for appending - slashes to names which are symlinks to directories. - -g. New function available to application completion functions: - rl_completion_mode, to tell how the completion function was invoked - and decide which argument to supply to rl_complete_internal (to list - completions, etc.). - -h. Readline now has an overwrite mode, toggled by the `overwrite-mode' - bindable command, which could be bound to `Insert'. - -i. New application-settable completion variable: - rl_completion_suppress_append, inhibits appending of - rl_completion_append_character to completed words. - -j. New key bindings when reading an incremental search string: ^W yanks - the currently-matched word out of the current line into the search - string; ^Y yanks the rest of the current line into the search string, - DEL or ^H deletes characters from the search string. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.05a since -the release of bash-2.05. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a.

New [-+]O invocation option to set and unset `shopt' options at startup. - -k. configure's `--with-installed-readline' option now takes an optional - `=PATH' suffix to set the root of the tree where readline is installed - to PATH. - -l. The ksh-like `ERR' trap has been added. The `ERR' trap will be run - whenever the shell would have exited if the -e option were enabled. - It is not inherited by shell functions. - -m. `readonly', `export', and `declare' now print variables which have been - given attributes but not set by assigning a value as just a command and - a variable name (like `export foo') when listing, as the latest POSIX - drafts require. - -n. `bashbug' now requires that the subject be changed from the default. - -o. configure has a new `--enable-largefile' option, like other GNU utilities. - -p. `for' loops now allow empty word lists after `in', like the latest POSIX - drafts require. - -q. The builtin `ulimit' now takes two new non-numeric arguments: `hard', - meaning the current hard limit, and `soft', meaning the current soft - limit, in addition to `unlimited' - -r. `ulimit' now prints the option letter associated with a particular - resource when printing more than one limit. - -s. `ulimit' prints `hard' or `soft' when a value is not `unlimited' but is - one of RLIM_SAVED_MAX or RLIM_SAVED_CUR, respectively. - -t. The `printf' builtin now handles the %a and %A conversions if they're - implemented by printf(3). - -u. The `printf' builtin now handles the %F conversion (just about like %f). - -v. The `printf' builtin now handles the %n conversion like printf(3). The - corresponding argument is the name of a shell variable to which the - value is assigned. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. Added extern declaration for rl_get_termcap to readline.h, making it a - public function (it was always there, just not in readline.h). - -b.

As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. Added a new `--init-file' invocation argument as a synonym for `--rcfile', - per the new GNU coding standards. - -b. The /dev/tcp and /dev/udp redirections now accept service names as well as - port numbers. - -c. `complete' and `compgen' now take a `-o value' option, which controls some - of the aspects of that compspec. Valid values are: - - default - perform bash default completion if programmable - completion produces no matches - dirnames - perform directory name completion if programmable - completion produces no matches - filenames - tell readline that the compspec produces filenames, - so it can do things like append slashes to - directory names and suppress trailing spaces - -d. A new loadable builtin, realpath, which canonicalizes and expands symlinks - in pathname arguments. - -e. When `set' is called without options, it prints function defintions in a - way that allows them to be reused as input. This affects `declare' and - `declare -p' as well. This only happens when the shell is not in POSIX - mode, since POSIX.2 forbids this behavior. - -f. Bash-2.05 once again honors the current locale setting when processing - ranges within pattern matching bracket expressions (e.g., [A-Z]). - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. The blink timeout for paren matching is now settable by applications, - via the rl_set_paren_blink_timeout() function. - -b. _rl_executing_macro has been renamed to rl_executing_macro, which means - it's now part of the public interface. - -c.

The timeout in rl_gather_tyi (readline keyboard input polling function) - is now settable via a function (rl_set_keyboard_input_timeout()). - -h. Renamed the max_input_history variable to history_max_entries; the old - variable is maintained for backwards compatibility. - -i. The list of characters that separate words for the history tokenizer is - now settable with a variable: history_word_delimiters. The default - value is as before. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.04 since -the release of bash-2.03.

There is a new ksh-93 style arithmetic for command: - for ((expr1 ; expr2; expr3 )); do list; done - -h. The `read' builtin has a number of new options: - -t timeout only wait timeout seconds for input - -n nchars only read nchars from input instead of a full line - -d delim read until delim rather than newline - -s don't echo input chars as they are read - -i. The redirection code now handles several filenames specially: - /dev/fd/N, /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, and /dev/stderr, whether or - not they are present in the file system. - -j. The redirection code now recognizes pathnames of the form - /dev/tcp/host/port and /dev/udp/host/port, and tries to open a socket - of the appropriate type to the specified port on the specified host. - -k. The ksh-93 ${!prefix*} expansion, which expands to the names of all - shell variables with prefix PREFIX, has been implemented. - -l. There is a new dynamic variable, FUNCNAME, which expands to the name of - a currently-executing function. Assignments to FUNCNAME have no effect. - -m. The GROUPS variable is no longer readonly; assignments to it are silently - discarded. This means it can be unset. - -n. A new programmable completion facility, with two new builtin commands: - complete and compgen. - -o. configure has a new option, `--enable-progcomp', to compile in the - programmable completion features (enabled by default). - -p. `shopt' has a new option, `progcomp', to enable and disable programmable - completion at runtime. - -q.

If NON_INTERACTIVE_LOGIN_SHELLS is defined, all login shells read the - startup files, even if they are not interactive. - -w. The LC_NUMERIC variable is now treated specially, and used to set the - LC_NUMERIC locale category for number formatting, e.g., when `printf' - displays floating-point numbers. - -2. New features in Readline - -a. Parentheses matching is now always compiled into readline, and enabled - or disabled when the value of the `blink-matching-paren' variable is - changed. - -b. MS-DOS systems now use ~/_inputrc as the last-ditch inputrc filename. - -c. MS-DOS systems now use ~/_history as the default history file. - -d. history-search-{forward,backward} now leave the point at the end of the - line when the string to search for is empty, like - {reverse,forward}-search-history. - -e. history-search-{forward,backward} now leave the last history line found - in the readline buffer if the second or subsequent search fails. - -f. New function for use by applications: rl_on_new_line_with_prompt, used - when an application displays the prompt itself before calling readline(). - -g. New variable for use by applications: rl_already_prompted. An application - that displays the prompt itself before calling readline() must set this to - a non-zero value. - -h. A new variable, rl_gnu_readline_p, always 1. The intent is that an - application can verify whether or not it is linked with the `real' - readline library or some substitute. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.03 since -the release of bash-2.02.

OLDPWD is now auto-exported, as POSIX.2 seems to require. - -d. ENV and BASH_ENV are read-only variables in a restricted shell. - -e. A change was made to the startup file code so that any shell begun with - the `--login' option, even non-interactive shells, will source the login - shell startup files. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. Many changes to the signal handling: - o Readline now catches SIGQUIT and cleans up the tty before returning; - o A new variable, rl_catch_signals, is available to application writers - to indicate to readline whether or not it should install its own - signal handlers for SIGINT, SIGTERM, SIGQUIT, SIGALRM, SIGTSTP, - SIGTTIN, and SIGTTOU; - o A new variable, rl_catch_sigwinch, is available to application - writers to indicate to readline whether or not it should install its - own signal handler for SIGWINCH, which will chain to the calling - applications's SIGWINCH handler, if one is installed; - o There is a new function, rl_free_line_state, for application signal - handlers to call to free up the state associated with the current - line after receiving a signal; - o There is a new function, rl_cleanup_after_signal, to clean up the - display and terminal state after receiving a signal; - o There is a new function, rl_reset_after_signal, to reinitialize the - terminal and display state after an application signal handler - returns and readline continues - -b. There is a new function, rl_resize_terminal, to reset readline's idea of - the screen size after a SIGWINCH. - -c. New public functions: rl_save_prompt and rl_restore_prompt.

There is a new `shopt' option, `huponexit', which, when enabled, causes - the shell to send SIGHUP to all jobs when an interactive login shell - exits. - -q. `bind' has a new `-u' option, which takes a readline function name as an - argument and unbinds all key sequences bound to that function in a - specified keymap. - -r. `disown' now has `-a' and `-r' options, to limit operation to all jobs - and running jobs, respectively. - -s. The `shopt' `-p' option now causes output to be displayed in a reusable - format. - -t. `test' has a new `-N' option, which returns true if the filename argument - has been modified since it was last accessed. - -u. `umask' now has a `-p' option to print output in a reusable format. - -v. A new escape sequence, `\xNNN', has been added to the `echo -e' and $'...' - translation code. It expands to the character whose ascii code is NNN - in hexadecimal. - -w. The prompt string expansion code has a new `\r' escape sequence. - -x. The shell may now be cross-compiled for the CYGWIN32 environment on - a Unix machine. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. There is now an option for `iterative' yank-last-arg handline, so a user - can keep entering `M-.', yanking the last argument of successive history - lines. - -b. New variable, `print-completions-horizontally', which causes completion - matches to be displayed across the screen (like `ls -x') rather than up - and down the screen (like `ls'). - -c. New variable, `completion-ignore-case', which causes filename completion - and matching to be performed case-insensitively. - -d. There is a new bindable command, `magic-space', which causes history - expansion to be performed on the current readline buffer and a space to - be inserted into the result. - -e. There is a new bindable command, `menu-complete', which enables tcsh-like - menu completion (successive executions of menu-complete insert a single - completion match, cycling through the list of possible completions). - -f. There is a new bindable command, `paste-from-clipboard', for use on Win32 - systems, to insert the text from the Win32 clipboard into the editing - buffer. - -g. The key sequence translation code now understands printf-style backslash - escape sequences, including \NNN octal escapes. These escape sequences - may be used in key sequence definitions or macro values. - -h. An `$include' inputrc file parser directive has been added. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.01 since -the release of bash-2.0. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is the -place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. There is a new builtin array variable: GROUPS, the set of groups to which - the user belongs. This is used by the test suite. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. If a key sequence bound to `universal-argument' is read while reading a - numeric argument started with `universal-argument', it terminates the - argument but is otherwise ignored. This provides a way to insert multiple - instances of a digit string, and is how GNU emacs does it. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.0 since -the release of bash-1.14.7. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is -the place to look for complete descriptions. - -1. New Features in Bash - -a. There is a new invocation option, -D, that dumps translatable strings - in a script. - -b. The `long' invocation options must now be prefixed with `--'. - -c. New long invocation options: --dump-strings, --help, --verbose - -d. The `nolineediting' invocation option was renamed to `noediting'. - -e. The `nobraceexpansion' and `quiet' long invocation options were removed. - -f. The `--help' and `--version' long options now work as the GNU coding - standards specify. - -g. If invoked as `sh', bash now enters posix mode after reading the - startup files, and reads and executes commands from the file named - by $ENV if interactive (as POSIX.2 specifies). A login shell invoked - as `sh' reads $ENV after /etc/profile and ~/.profile. - -h. There is a new reserved word, `time', for timing pipelines, builtin - commands, and shell functions. It uses the value of the TIMEFORMAT - variable as a format string describing how to print the timing - statistics. - -i. The $'...' quoting syntax expands ANSI-C escapes in ... and leaves the - result single-quoted. - -j. The $"..." quoting syntax performs locale-specific translation of ... - and leaves the result double-quoted. - -k. LINENO now works correctly in functions. - -l. New variables: DIRSTACK, PIPESTATUS, BASH_VERSINFO, HOSTNAME, SHELLOPTS, - MACHTYPE. The first three are array variables. - -m. The BASH_VERSION and BASH_VERSINFO variables now include the shell's - `release status' (alpha[N], beta[N], release). - -n. Some variables have been removed: MAIL_WARNING, notify, history_control, - command_oriented_history, glob_dot_filenames, allow_null_glob_expansion, - nolinks, hostname_completion_file, noclobber, no_exit_on_failed_exec, and - cdable_vars. Most of them are now implemented with the new `shopt' - builtin; others were already implemented by `set'. - -o. Bash now uses some new variables: LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES, LC_CTYPE, - LC_COLLATE, LANG, GLOBIGNORE, HISTIGNORE. - -p. The shell now supports integer-indexed arrays of unlimited length, - with a new compound assignment syntax and changes to the appropriate - builtin commands (declare/typeset, read, readonly, etc.). The array - index may be an arithmetic expression. - -q. ${!var}: indirect variable expansion, equivalent to eval \${$var}. - -r. ${paramter:offset[:length]}: variable substring extraction. - -s. ${parameter/pattern[/[/]string]}: variable pattern substitution. - -t. The $[...] arithmetic expansion syntax is no longer supported, in - favor of $((...)). - -u. Aliases can now be expanded in shell scripts with a shell option - (shopt expand_aliases). - -v. History and history expansion can now be used in scripts with - set -o history and set -H. - -w. All builtins now return an exit status of 2 for incorrect usage. - -x. Interactive shells resend SIGHUP to all running or stopped children - if (and only if) they exit due to a SIGHUP. - -y. New prompting expansions: \a, \e, \H, \T, \@, \v, \V. - -z. Variable expansion in prompt strings is now controllable via a shell - option (shopt promptvars). - -aa. Bash now defaults to using command-oriented history. - -bb. The history file ($HISTFILE) is now truncated to $HISTFILESIZE after - being written. - -cc. The POSIX.2 conditional arithmetic evaluation syntax (expr ? expr : expr) - has been implemented. - -dd. Each builtin now accepts `--' to signify the end of the options, except - as documented (echo, etc.). - -ee. All builtins use -p to display values in a re-readable format where - appropriate, except as documented (echo, type, etc.). - -ff. The `alias' builtin has a new -p option. - -gg. Changes to the `bind' builtin: - o has new options: -psPSVr. - o the `-d' option was renamed to `-p' - o the `-v' option now dumps variables; the old `-v' is now `-P' - -hh. The `bye' synonym for `exit' was removed. - -ii. The -L and -P options to `cd' and `pwd' have been documented. - -jj. The `cd' builtin now does spelling correction on the directory name - by default. This is settable with a shell option (shopt cdspell). - -kk. The `declare' builtin has new options: -a, -F, -p. - -ll. The `dirs' builtin has new options: -c, -p, -v. - -mm. The new `disown' builtin removes jobs from the shell's jobs table - or inhibits the resending of SIGHUP when the shell receives a - SIGHUP. - -nn. The `echo' builtin has a new escape character: \e. - -oo. The `enable' builtin can now load new builtins dynamically from shared - objects on systems with the dlopen/dlsym interface. There are a number - of examples in the examples/loadables directory. There are also - new options: -d, -f, -s, -p. - -pp. The `-all' option to `enable' was removed in favor of `-a'. - -qq. The `exec' builtin has new options: -l, -c, -a. - -rr. The `hash' builtin has a new option: -p. - -ss. The `history' builtin has new options: -c, -p, -s. - -tt. The `jobs' builtin has new options: -r, -s. - -uu. The `kill' builtin has new options: -n signum, -l signame. - -vv. The `pushd' and `popd' builtins have a new option: -n. - -ww. The `read' builtin has new options: -p prompt, -e, -a. - -xx. The `readonly' builtin has a new -a option, and the -n option was removed. - -yy. Changes to the `set' builtin: - o new options: -B, -o keyword, -o onecmd, -o history - o options removed: -l, -d, -o nohash - o options changed: +o, -h, -o hashall - o now displays variables in a format that can be re-read as input - -zz. The new `shopt' builtin controls shell optional behavior previously - done by setting and unsetting certain shell variables. - -aaa. The `test' builtin has new operators: -o option, s1 == s2, s1 < s2, - and s1 > s2, where s1 and s2 are strings. - -bbb. There is a new trap, DEBUG, executed after every simple command. - -ccc. The `trap' builtin has a new -p option. - -ddd. The `ulimit' builtin has a new -l option on 4.4BSD-based systems. - -eee. The PS1, PS2, PATH, and IFS variables may now be unset. - -fff. The restricted shell mode has been expanded and is now documented. - -ggg. Security improvements: - o functions are not imported from the environment if running setuid - or with -p - o no startup files are sourced if running setuid or with -p - -hhh. The documentation has been overhauled: the texinfo manual was - expanded, and HTML versions of the man page and texinfo manual - are included. - -iii. Changes to Posix mode: - o Command lookup now finds special builtins before shell functions. - o Failure of a special builtin causes a non-interactive shell to - exit. Failures are defined in the POSIX.2 specification. - o If the `cd' builtin finds a directory to change to using $CDPATH, - the value assigned to PWD when `cd' completes does not contain - any symbolic links. - o A non-interactive shell exits if a variable assignment error - occurs when no command name follows the assignment statements. - o A non-interactive shell exits if the interation variable in a - `for' statement or the selection variable in a `select' statement - is read-only or another variable assignment error occurs. - o The `<>' redirection operator now opens a file for both stdin and - stdout by default, not just when in posix mode. - o Assignment statements preceding special builtins now persist in - the shell's environment when the builtin completes. - - Posix mode is now completely POSIX.2-compliant (modulo bugs). When - invoked as sh, bash should be completely POSIX.2-compliant. - -jjj. The default value of PS1 is now "\s-\v\$ ". - -kkk. The ksh-like ((...)) arithmetic command syntax has been implemented. - This is exactly equivalent to `let "..."'. - -lll. Integer constants have been extended to base 64. - -mmm. The `ulimit' builtin now sets both hard and soft limits and reports the - soft limit by default. - -2. New Features in Readline - -a. New variables: enable-keypad, input-meta (new name for meta-flag), - mark-directories, visible-stats (now documented), disable-completion, - comment-begin. - -b. New bindable commands: kill-region, copy-region-as-kill, - copy-backward-word, copy-forward-word, set-mark, exchange-point-and-mark, - character-search, character-search-backward, insert-comment, - glob-expand-word, glob-list-expansions, dump-variables, dump-macros. - -c. New emacs keybindings: delete-horizontal-space (M-\), - insert-completions (M-*), possible-completions (M-=). - -d. The history-search-backward and history-search-forward commands were - modified to be the same as previous-line and next-line if point is at - the start of the line. - -e. More file types are available for the visible-stats mode. - -3. Changes of interest in the Bash implementation - -a. There is a new autoconf-based configuration mechanism. - -b. More things have been moved from Posix mode to standard shell behavior. - -c. The trace output (set -x) now inserts quotes where necessary so it can - be reused as input. - -d. There is a compile-time option for a system-wide interactive shell - startup file (disabled by default). - -e. The YACC grammar is smaller and tighter, and all 66 shift-reduce - conflicts are gone. Several parsing bugs have been fixed. - -f. Builtin option parsing has been regularized (using internal_getopt()), - with the exception of `echo', `type', and `set'. - -g. Builtins now return standard usage messages constructed from the - `short doc' used by the help builtin. - -h. Completion now quotes using backslashes by default, but honors - user-supplied quotes. - -i. The GNU libc malloc is available as a configure-time option. - -j. There are more internationalization features; bash uses gettext if - it is available. The $"..." translation syntax uses the current - locale and gettext. - -k. There is better reporting of job termination when the shell is not - interactive. - -l. The shell is somewhat more efficient: it uses a little less memory and - makes fewer system calls. - -4. Changes of interest in the Readline implementation - -a. There is now support for readline `callback' functions. - -b. There is now support for user-supplied input, redisplay, and terminal - preparation functions. - -c. Most of the shell-specific code in readline has been generalized or - removed. - -d. Most of the annoying redisplay bugs have been fixed, notably the problems - with incremental search and excessive redrawing when special characters - appear in the prompt string. - -e. There are new library functions and variables available to application - writers, most having to do with completion and quoting. - -f. The NEWLINE character (^J) is now treated as a search terminator by the - incremental search functions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, -are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright -notice and this notice are preserved.

Features geared -toward interactive use include command line editing, command -history, job control, aliases, and prompt expansion. Programming -features include additional variable expansions, shell -arithmetic, and a number of variables and options to control -shell behavior. - -Bash was originally written by Brian Fox of the Free Software -Foundation. The current developer and maintainer is Chet Ramey -of Case Western Reserve University. - -A2) What's the latest version? - -The latest version is 2.05b, first made available on Wednesday, 17 -July, 2002. - -A3) Where can I get it? - -Bash is the GNU project's shell, and so is available from the -master GNU archive site, ftp.gnu.org, and its mirrors. The -latest version is also available for FTP from ftp.cwru.edu. -The following URLs tell how to get version 2.05b: - -ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-2.05b.tar.gz -ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/bash-2.05b.tar.gz - -Formatted versions of the documentation are available with the URLs: - -ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-doc-2.05b.tar.gz -ftp://ftp.cwru.edu/pub/bash/bash-doc-2.05b.tar.gz - -A4) On what machines will bash run? - -Bash has been ported to nearly every version of UNIX. All you -should have to do to build it on a machine for which a port -exists is to type `configure' and then `make'. The build process -will attempt to discover the version of UNIX you have and tailor -itself accordingly, using a script created by GNU autoconf. - -More information appears in the file `INSTALL' in the distribution. - -The Bash web page (http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/bash/bashtop.html) -explains how to obtain binary versions of bash for most of the major -commercial Unix systems. - -A5) Will bash run on operating systems other than Unix? - -Configuration specifics for Unix-like systems such as QNX and -LynxOS are included in the distribution. Bash-2.05 and later -versions should compile and run on Minix 2.0 (patches were -contributed), but I don't believe anyone has built bash-2.x on -earlier Minix versions yet. - -Bash has been ported to versions of Windows implementing the Win32 -programming interface. This includes Windows 95 and Windows NT. -The port was done by Cygnus Solutions as part of their CYGWIN -project. For more information about the project, look at the URLs - -http://www.cygwin.com/ -http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin - -Cygnus originally ported bash-1.14.7, and that port was part of their -early GNU-Win32 (the original name) releases. Cygnus has also done a -port of bash-2.05 to the CYGWIN environment, and it is available as -part of their current release. - -Bash-2.05b should require no local Cygnus changes to build and run under -CYGWIN. - -The Cygnus port works only on Intel machines.

Beware. - -I have received word that Bash (I'm not sure which version, but I -believe that it's at least bash-2.02.1) is the standard shell on -BeOS. - -A6) How can I build bash with gcc? - -Bash configures to use gcc by default if it is available. Read the -file INSTALL in the distribution for more information. - -A7) How can I make bash my login shell? - -Some machines let you use `chsh' to change your login shell. Other -systems use `passwd -s' or `passwd -e'. If one of these works for -you, that's all you need. Note that many systems require the full -pathname to a shell to appear in /etc/shells before you can make it -your login shell. For this, you may need the assistance of your -friendly local system administrator. - -If you cannot do this, you can still use bash as your login shell, but -you need to perform some tricks. The basic idea is to add a command -to your login shell's startup file to replace your login shell with -bash. - -For example, if your login shell is csh or tcsh, and you have installed -bash in /usr/gnu/bin/bash, add the following line to ~/.login: - - if ( -f /usr/gnu/bin/bash ) exec /usr/gnu/bin/bash --login - -(the `--login' tells bash that it is a login shell). - -It's not a good idea to put this command into ~/.cshrc, because every -csh you run without the `-f' option, even ones started to run csh scripts, -reads that file. If you must put the command in ~/.cshrc, use something -like - - if ( $?prompt ) exec /usr/gnu/bin/bash --login - -to ensure that bash is exec'd only when the csh is interactive. - -If your login shell is sh or ksh, you have to do two things. - -First, create an empty file in your home directory named `.bash_profile'. -The existence of this file will prevent the exec'd bash from trying to -read ~/.profile, and re-execing itself over and over again. ~/.bash_profile -is the first file bash tries to read initialization commands from when -it is invoked as a login shell. - -Next, add a line similar to the above to ~/.profile: - - [ -f /usr/gnu/bin/bash ] && [ -x /usr/gnu/bin/bash ] && \ - exec /usr/gnu/bin/bash --login - -This will cause login shells to replace themselves with bash running as -a login shell. Once you have this working, you can copy your initialization -code from ~/.profile to ~/.bash_profile. - -I have received word that the recipe supplied above is insufficient for -machines running CDE. CDE has a maze of twisty little startup files, all -slightly different. - -If you cannot change your login shell in the password file to bash, you -will have to (apparently) live with CDE using the shell in the password -file to run its startup scripts. If you have changed your shell to bash, -there is code in the CDE startup files (on Solaris, at least) that attempts -to do the right thing. It is, however, often broken, and may require that -you use the $BASH_ENV trick described below. - -`dtterm' claims to use $SHELL as the default program to start, so if you -can change $SHELL in the CDE startup files, you should be able to use bash -in your terminal windows. - -Setting DTSOURCEPROFILE in ~/.dtprofile will cause the `Xsession' program -to read your login shell's startup files. You may be able to use bash for -the rest of the CDE programs by setting SHELL to bash in ~/.dtprofile as -well, but I have not tried this. - -You can use the above `exec' recipe to start bash when not logging in with -CDE by testing the value of the DT variable: - - if [ -n "$DT" ]; then - [ -f /usr/gnu/bin/bash ] && exec /usr/gnu/bin/bash --login - fi - -If CDE starts its shells non-interactively during login, the login shell -startup files (~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile) will not be sourced at login. -To get around this problem, append a line similar to the following to your -~/.dtprofile: - - BASH_ENV=${HOME}/.bash_profile ; export BASH_ENV - -and add the following line to the beginning of ~/.bash_profile: - - unset BASH_ENV - -A8) I just changed my login shell to bash, and now I can't FTP into my - machine. Why not? - -You must add the full pathname to bash to the file /etc/shells. As -noted in the answer to the previous question, many systems require -this before you can make bash your login shell. - -Most versions of ftpd use this file to prohibit `special' users -such as `uucp' and `news' from using FTP. - -A9) What's the `POSIX 1003.2 standard'? - -POSIX is a name originally coined by Richard Stallman for a -family of open system standards based on UNIX. There are a -number of aspects of UNIX under consideration for -standardization, from the basic system services at the system -call and C library level to applications and tools to system -administration and management. Each area of standardization is -assigned to a working group in the 1003 series. - -The POSIX Shell and Utilities standard has been developed by IEEE -Working Group 1003.2 (POSIX.2). It concentrates on the command -interpreter interface and utility programs commonly executed from -the command line or by other programs. An initial version of the -standard has been approved and published by the IEEE, and work is -currently underway to update it. - -Bash is concerned with the aspects of the shell's behavior -defined by POSIX.2. The shell command language has of course -been standardized, including the basic flow control and program -execution constructs, I/O redirection and pipelining, argument -handling, variable expansion, and quoting. - -The `special' builtins, which must be implemented as part of the -shell to provide the desired functionality, are specified as -being part of the shell; examples of these are `eval' and -`export'. Other utilities appear in the sections of POSIX.2 not -devoted to the shell which are commonly (and in some cases must -be) implemented as builtin commands, such as `read' and `test'. -POSIX.2 also specifies aspects of the shell's interactive -behavior as part of the UPE, including job control and command -line editing. Only vi-style line editing commands have been -standardized; emacs editing commands were left out due to -objections. - -The Open Group has made an older version of its Single Unix -Specification (version 2), which is very similar to POSIX.2, -available on the web at - -http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/ - -The Single Unix Specification, version 3, is available on the web at - -http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/ - -A10) What is the bash `posix mode'? - -Although bash is an implementation of the POSIX.2 shell -specification, there are areas where the bash default behavior -differs from that spec. The bash `posix mode' changes the bash -behavior in these areas so that it obeys the spec more closely. - -Posix mode is entered by starting bash with the --posix or -'-o posix' option or executing `set -o posix' after bash is running. - -The specific aspects of bash which change when posix mode is -active are listed in the file POSIX in the bash distribution. -They are also listed in a section in the Bash Reference Manual -(from which that file is generated). - -Section B: The latest version - -B1) What's new in version 2.05b? - -The raison d'etre for bash-2.05b is to make a second intermediate -release containing the first of the new features to be available -in bash-3.0 and get feedback on those features before proceeding. -The major new feature is multibyte character support in both Bash -and Readline. - -Bash-2.05b contains the following new features (see the manual page for -complete descriptions and the CHANGES and NEWS files in the bash-2.05b -distribution): - -o support for multibyte characters has been added to both bash and readline - -o the DEBUG trap is now run *before* simple commands, ((...)) commands, - [[...]] conditional commands, and for ((...)) loops - -o the shell now performs arithmetic in the largest integer size the machine - supports (intmax_t) - -o there is a new \D{...} prompt expansion; passes the `...' to strftime(3) - and inserts the result into the expanded prompt - -o there is a new `here-string' redirection operator: <<< word - -o when displaying variables, function attributes and definitions are shown - separately, allowing them to be re-used as input (attempting to re-use - the old output would result in syntax errors). - -o `read' has a new `-u fd' option to read from a specified file descriptor - -o the bash debugger in examples/bashdb has been modified to work with the - new DEBUG trap semantics, the command set has been made more gdb-like, - and the changes to $LINENO make debugging functions work better - -o the expansion of $LINENO inside a shell function is only relative to the - function start if the shell is interactive -- if the shell is running a - script, $LINENO expands to the line number in the script. This is as - POSIX-2001 requires - - -A short feature history dating from Bash-2.0: - -Bash-2.05a introduced the following new features: - -o The `printf' builtin has undergone major work - -o There is a new read-only `shopt' option: login_shell, which is set by - login shells and unset otherwise - -o New `\A' prompt string escape sequence; expanding to time in 24-hour - HH:MM format - -o New `-A group/-g' option to complete and compgen; goes group name - completion - -o New [+-]O invocation option to set and unset `shopt' options at startup - -o ksh-like `ERR' trap - -o `for' loops now allow empty word lists after the `in' reserved word - -o new `hard' and `soft' arguments for the `ulimit' builtin - -o Readline can be configured to place the user at the same point on the line - when retrieving commands from the history list - -o Readline can be configured to skip `hidden' files (filenames with a leading - `.' on Unix) when performing completion - -Bash-2.05 introduced the following new features: - -o This version has once again reverted to using locales and strcoll(3) when - processing pattern matching bracket expressions, as POSIX requires. -o Added a new `--init-file' invocation argument as a synonym for `--rcfile', - per the new GNU coding standards. -o The /dev/tcp and /dev/udp redirections now accept service names as well as - port numbers. -o `complete' and `compgen' now take a `-o value' option, which controls some - of the aspects of that compspec. Valid values are: - - default - perform bash default completion if programmable - completion produces no matches - dirnames - perform directory name completion if programmable - completion produces no matches - filenames - tell readline that the compspec produces filenames, - so it can do things like append slashes to - directory names and suppress trailing spaces -o A new loadable builtin, realpath, which canonicalizes and expands symlinks - in pathname arguments. -o When `set' is called without options, it prints function defintions in a - way that allows them to be reused as input. This affects `declare' and - `declare -p' as well. This only happens when the shell is not in POSIX - mode, since POSIX.2 forbids this behavior. - -Bash-2.04 introduced the following new features: - -o Programmable word completion with the new `complete' and `compgen' builtins; - examples are provided in examples/complete/complete-examples -o `history' has a new `-d' option to delete a history entry -o `bind' has a new `-x' option to bind key sequences to shell commands -o The prompt expansion code has new `\j' and `\l' escape sequences -o The `no_empty_cmd_completion' shell option, if enabled, inhibits - command completion when TAB is typed on an empty line -o `help' has a new `-s' option to print a usage synopsis -o New arithmetic operators: var++, var--, ++var, --var, expr1,expr2 (comma) -o New ksh93-style arithmetic for command: - for ((expr1 ; expr2; expr3 )); do list; done -o `read' has new options: `-t', `-n', `-d', `-s' -o The redirection code handles several filenames specially: /dev/fd/N, - /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout, /dev/stderr -o The redirection code now recognizes /dev/tcp/HOST/PORT and - /dev/udp/HOST/PORT and tries to open a TCP or UDP socket, respectively, - to the specified port on the specified host -o The ${!prefix*} expansion has been implemented -o A new FUNCNAME variable, which expands to the name of a currently-executing - function -o The GROUPS variable is no longer readonly -o A new shopt `xpg_echo' variable, to control the behavior of echo with - respect to backslash-escape sequences at runtime -o The NON_INTERACTIVE_LOGIN_SHELLS #define has returned - -The version of Readline released with Bash-2.04, Readline-4.1, had several -new features as well: - -o Parentheses matching is always compiled into readline, and controllable - with the new `blink-matching-paren' variable -o The history-search-forward and history-search-backward functions now leave - point at the end of the line when the search string is empty, like - reverse-search-history, and forward-search-history -o A new function for applications: rl_on_new_line_with_prompt() -o New variables for applications: rl_already_prompted, and rl_gnu_readline_p - - -Bash-2.03 had very few new features, in keeping with the convention -that odd-numbered releases provide mainly bug fixes.

- -D1) Why does bash run a different version of `command' than - `which command' says it will? - -On many systems, `which' is actually a csh script that assumes -you're running csh. In tcsh, `which' and its cousin `where' -are builtins. On other Unix systems, `which' is a perl script -that uses the PATH environment variable. - -The csh script version reads the csh startup files from your -home directory and uses those to determine which `command' will -be invoked. Since bash doesn't use any of those startup files, -there's a good chance that your bash environment differs from -your csh environment. The bash `type' builtin does everything -`which' does, and will report correct results for the running -shell. If you're really wedded to the name `which', try adding -the following function definition to your .bashrc: - - which() - { - builtin type "$@" - } - -If you're moving from tcsh and would like to bring `where' along -as well, use this function: - - where() - { - builtin type -a "$@" - } - -D2) Why doesn't bash treat brace expansions exactly like csh? - -The only difference between bash and csh brace expansion is that -bash requires a brace expression to contain at least one unquoted -comma if it is to be expanded. Any brace-surrounded word not -containing an unquoted comma is left unchanged by the brace -expansion code. This affords the greatest degree of sh -compatibility. - -Bash, ksh, zsh, and pd-ksh all implement brace expansion this way. - -D3) Why doesn't bash have csh variable modifiers? - -Posix has specified a more powerful, albeit somewhat more cryptic, -mechanism cribbed from ksh, and bash implements it. - -${parameter%word} - Remove smallest suffix pattern. The WORD is expanded to produce - a pattern. It then expands to the value of PARAMETER, with the - smallest portion of the suffix matched by the pattern deleted. - - x=file.c - echo ${x%.c}.o - -->file.o - -${parameter%%word} - - Remove largest suffix pattern. The WORD is expanded to produce - a pattern. It then expands to the value of PARAMETER, with the - largest portion of the suffix matched by the pattern deleted. - - x=posix/src/std - echo ${x%%/*} - -->posix - -${parameter#word} - Remove smallest prefix pattern. The WORD is expanded to produce - a pattern. It then expands to the value of PARAMETER, with the - smallest portion of the prefix matched by the pattern deleted. - - x=$HOME/src/cmd - echo ${x#$HOME} - -->/src/cmd - -${parameter##word} - Remove largest prefix pattern. The WORD is expanded to produce - a pattern. It then expands to the value of PARAMETER, with the - largest portion of the prefix matched by the pattern deleted. - - x=/one/two/three - echo ${x##*/} - -->three - - -Given - a=/a/b/c/d - b=b.xxx - - csh bash result - --- ---- ------ - $a:h ${a%/*} /a/b/c - $a:t ${a##*/} d - $b:r ${b%.*} b - $b:e ${b##*.} xxx - - -D4) How can I make my csh aliases work when I convert to bash? - -Bash uses a different syntax to support aliases than csh does. -The details can be found in the documentation. We have provided -a shell script which does most of the work of conversion for you; -this script can be found in ./examples/misc/aliasconv.sh. Here is -how you use it: - -Start csh in the normal way for you. (e.g., `csh') - -Pipe the output of `alias' through `aliasconv.sh', saving the -results into `bash_aliases': - - alias | bash aliasconv.sh >bash_aliases - -Edit `bash_aliases', carefully reading through any created -functions. You will need to change the names of some csh specific -variables to the bash equivalents. The script converts $cwd to -$PWD, $term to $TERM, $home to $HOME, $user to $USER, and $prompt -to $PS1. You may also have to add quotes to avoid unwanted -expansion. - -For example, the csh alias: - - alias cd 'cd \!*; echo $cwd' - -is converted to the bash function: - - cd () { command cd "$@"; echo $PWD ; } - -The only thing that needs to be done is to quote $PWD: - - cd () { command cd "$@"; echo "$PWD" ; } - -Merge the edited file into your ~/.bashrc. - -There is an additional, more ambitious, script in -examples/misc/cshtobash that attempts to convert your entire csh -environment to its bash equivalent. This script can be run as -simply `cshtobash' to convert your normal interactive -environment, or as `cshtobash ~/.login' to convert your login -environment. - -D5) How can I pipe standard output and standard error from one command to - another, like csh does with `|&'? - -Use - command 2>&1 | command2 - -The key is to remember that piping is performed before redirection, so -file descriptor 1 points to the pipe when it is duplicated onto file -descriptor 2. - -D6) Now that I've converted from ksh to bash, are there equivalents to - ksh features like autoloaded functions and the `whence' command? - -There are features in ksh-88 and ksh-93 that do not have direct bash -equivalents. Most, however, can be emulated with very little trouble. - -ksh-88 feature Bash equivalent --------------- --------------- -compiled-in aliases set up aliases in .bashrc; some ksh aliases are - bash builtins (hash, history, type) -coprocesses named pipe pairs (one for read, one for write) -typeset +f declare -F -cd, print, whence function substitutes in examples/functions/kshenv -autoloaded functions examples/functions/autoload is the same as typeset -fu -read var?prompt read -p prompt var - -ksh-93 feature Bash equivalent --------------- --------------- -sleep, getconf Bash has loadable versions in examples/loadables -${.sh.version} $BASH_VERSION -print -f printf -hist alias hist=fc -$HISTEDIT $FCEDIT - -Section E: How can I get bash to do certain things, and why does bash do - things the way it does? - -E1) Why is the bash builtin `test' slightly different from /bin/test? - -The specific example used here is [ ! x -o x ], which is false. - -Bash's builtin `test' implements the Posix.2 spec, which can be -summarized as follows (the wording is due to David Korn): - -Here is the set of rules for processing test arguments. - - 0 Args: False - 1 Arg: True iff argument is not null. - 2 Args: If first arg is !, True iff second argument is null. - If first argument is unary, then true if unary test is true - Otherwise error. - 3 Args: If second argument is a binary operator, do binary test of $1 $3 - If first argument is !, negate two argument test of $2 $3 - If first argument is `(' and third argument is `)', do the - one-argument test of the second argument. - Otherwise error. - 4 Args: If first argument is !, negate three argument test of $2 $3 $4. - Otherwise unspecified - 5 or more Args: unspecified. (Historical shells would use their - current algorithm). - -The operators -a and -o are considered binary operators for the purpose -of the 3 Arg case. - -As you can see, the test becomes (not (x or x)), which is false. - -E2) Why does bash sometimes say `Broken pipe'? - -If a sequence of commands appears in a pipeline, and one of the -reading commands finishes before the writer has finished, the -writer receives a SIGPIPE signal. Many other shells special-case -SIGPIPE as an exit status in the pipeline and do not report it. -For example, in: - - ps -aux | head - -`head' can finish before `ps' writes all of its output, and ps -will try to write on a pipe without a reader. In that case, bash -will print `Broken pipe' to stderr when ps is killed by a -SIGPIPE. - -You can build a version of bash that will not report SIGPIPE errors -by uncommenting the definition of DONT_REPORT_SIGPIPE in the file -config-top.h. - -E3) When I have terminal escape sequences in my prompt, why does bash - wrap lines at the wrong column? - -Readline, the line editing library that bash uses, does not know -that the terminal escape sequences do not take up space on the -screen. The redisplay code assumes, unless told otherwise, that -each character in the prompt is a `printable' character that -takes up one character position on the screen. - -You can use the bash prompt expansion facility (see the PROMPTING -section in the manual page) to tell readline that sequences of -characters in the prompt strings take up no screen space. - -Use the \[ escape to begin a sequence of non-printing characters, -and the \] escape to signal the end of such a sequence. - -E4) If I pipe the output of a command into `read variable', why doesn't - the output show up in $variable when the read command finishes? - -This has to do with the parent-child relationship between Unix -processes. It affects all commands run in pipelines, not just -simple calls to `read'. For example, piping a command's output -into a `while' loop that repeatedly calls `read' will result in -the same behavior. - -Each element of a pipeline runs in a separate process, a child of -the shell running the pipeline. A subprocess cannot affect its -parent's environment. When the `read' command sets the variable -to the input, that variable is set only in the subshell, not the -parent shell. When the subshell exits, the value of the variable -is lost. - -Many pipelines that end with `read variable' can be converted -into command substitutions, which will capture the output of -a specified command. The output can then be assigned to a -variable: - - grep ^gnu /usr/lib/news/active | wc -l | read ngroup - -can be converted into - - ngroup=$(grep ^gnu /usr/lib/news/active | wc -l) - -This does not, unfortunately, work to split the text among -multiple variables, as read does when given multiple variable -arguments. If you need to do this, you can either use the -command substitution above to read the output into a variable -and chop up the variable using the bash pattern removal -expansion operators or use some variant of the following -approach. - -Say /usr/local/bin/ipaddr is the following shell script: - -#! /bin/sh -host `hostname` | awk '/address/ {print $NF}' - -Instead of using - - /usr/local/bin/ipaddr | read A B C D - -to break the local machine's IP address into separate octets, use - - OIFS="$IFS" - IFS=. - set -- $(/usr/local/bin/ipaddr) - IFS="$OIFS" - A="$1" B="$2" C="$3" D="$4" - -Beware, however, that this will change the shell's positional -parameters. If you need them, you should save them before doing -this. - -This is the general approach -- in most cases you will not need to -set $IFS to a different value. - -Some other user-supplied alternatives include: - -read A B C D << HERE - $(IFS=.; echo $(/usr/local/bin/ipaddr)) -HERE - -and, where process substitution is available, - -read A B C D < <(IFS=.; echo $(/usr/local/bin/ipaddr)) - -E5) I have a bunch of shell scripts that use backslash-escaped characters - in arguments to `echo'. Bash doesn't interpret these characters. Why - not, and how can I make it understand them? - -This is the behavior of echo on most Unix System V machines. - -The bash builtin `echo' is modeled after the 9th Edition -Research Unix version of `echo'. It does not interpret -backslash-escaped characters in its argument strings by default; -it requires the use of the -e option to enable the -interpretation. The System V echo provides no way to disable the -special characters; the bash echo has a -E option to disable -them. - -There is a configuration option that will make bash behave like -the System V echo and interpret things like `\t' by default. Run -configure with the --enable-xpg-echo-default option to turn this -on. Be aware that this will cause some of the tests run when you -type `make tests' to fail. - -There is a shell option, `xpg_echo', settable with `shopt', that will -change the behavior of echo at runtime. Enabling this option turns -on expansion of backslash-escape sequences. - -E6) Why doesn't a while or for loop get suspended when I type ^Z? - -This is a consequence of how job control works on Unix. The only -thing that can be suspended is the process group. This is a single -command or pipeline of commands that the shell forks and executes. - -When you run a while or for loop, the only thing that the shell forks -and executes are any commands in the while loop test and commands in -the loop bodies. These, therefore, are the only things that can be -suspended when you type ^Z. - -If you want to be able to stop the entire loop, you need to put it -within parentheses, which will force the loop into a subshell that -may be stopped (and subsequently restarted) as a single unit. - -E7) What about empty for loops in Makefiles? - -It's fairly common to see constructs like this in automatically-generated -Makefiles: - -SUBDIRS = @SUBDIRS@ - - ... - -subdirs-clean: - for d in ${SUBDIRS}; do \ - ( cd $$d && ${MAKE} ${MFLAGS} clean ) \ - done - -When SUBDIRS is empty, this results in a command like this being passed to -bash: - - for d in ; do - ( cd $d && ${MAKE} ${MFLAGS} clean ) - done - -In versions of bash before bash-2.05a, this was a syntax error. If the -reserved word `in' was present, a word must follow it before the semicolon -or newline. The language in the manual page referring to the list of words -being empty referred to the list after it is expanded. These versions of -bash required that there be at least one word following the `in' when the -construct was parsed. - -The idiomatic Makefile solution is something like: - -SUBDIRS = @SUBDIRS@ - -subdirs-clean: - subdirs=$SUBDIRS ; for d in $$subdirs; do \ - ( cd $$d && ${MAKE} ${MFLAGS} clean ) \ - done - -The latest drafts of the updated POSIX standard have changed this: the -word list is no longer required. Bash versions 2.05a and later accept -the new syntax. - -E8) Why does the arithmetic evaluation code complain about `08'? - -The bash arithmetic evaluation code (used for `let', $(()), (()), and in -other places), interprets a leading `0' in numeric constants as denoting -an octal number, and a leading `0x' as denoting hexadecimal. This is -in accordance with the POSIX.2 spec, section 2.9.2.1, which states that -arithmetic constants should be handled as signed long integers as defined -by the ANSI/ISO C standard. - -The POSIX.2 interpretation committee has confirmed this: - -http://www.pasc.org/interps/unofficial/db/p1003.2/pasc-1003.2-173.html - -E9) Why does the pattern matching expression [A-Z]* match files beginning - with every letter except `z'? - -Bash-2.03, Bash-2.05 and later versions honor the current locale setting -when processing ranges within pattern matching bracket expressions ([A-Z]). -This is what POSIX.2 and SUSv3/XPG6 specify. - -The behavior of the matcher in bash-2.05 and later versions depends on the -current LC_COLLATE setting. Setting this variable to `C' or `POSIX' will -result in the traditional behavior ([A-Z] matches all uppercase ASCII -characters). Many other locales, including the en_US locale (the default -on many US versions of Linux) collate the upper and lower case letters like -this: - - AaBb...Zz - -which means that [A-Z] matches every letter except `z'. Others collate like - - aAbBcC...zZ - -which means that [A-Z] matches every letter except `a'. - -The portable way to specify upper case letters is [:upper:] instead of -A-Z; lower case may be specified as [:lower:] instead of a-z. - -Look at the manual pages for setlocale(3), strcoll(3), and, if it is -present, locale(1). If you have locale(1), you can use it to find -your current locale information even if you do not have any of the -LC_ variables set. - -My advice is to put - - export LC_COLLATE=C - -into /etc/profile and inspect any shell scripts run from cron for -constructs like [A-Z]. This will prevent things like - - rm [A-Z]* - -from removing every file in the current directory except those beginning -with `z' and still allow individual users to change the collation order. -Users may put the above command into their own profiles as well, of course. - -E10) Why does `cd //' leave $PWD as `//'? - -POSIX.2, in its description of `cd', says that *three* or more leading -slashes may be replaced with a single slash when canonicalizing the -current working directory. - -This is, I presume, for historical compatibility. Certain versions of -Unix, and early network file systems, used paths of the form -//hostname/path to access `path' on server `hostname'. - -E11) If I resize my xterm while another program is running, why doesn't bash - notice the change? - -This is another issue that deals with job control. - -The kernel maintains a notion of a current terminal process group. Members -of this process group (processes whose process group ID is equal to the -current terminal process group ID) receive terminal-generated signals like -SIGWINCH. (For more details, see the JOB CONTROL section of the bash -man page.) - -If a terminal is resized, the kernel sends SIGWINCH to each member of -the terminal's current process group (the `foreground' process group). - -When bash is running with job control enabled, each pipeline (which may be -a single command) is run in its own process group, different from bash's -process group. This foreground process group receives the SIGWINCH; bash -does not. Bash has no way of knowing that the terminal has been resized. - -There is a `checkwinsize' option, settable with the `shopt' builtin, that -will cause bash to check the window size and adjust its idea of the -terminal's dimensions each time a process stops or exits and returns control -of the terminal to bash. Enable it with `shopt -s checkwinsize'. - -Section F: Things to watch out for on certain Unix versions - -F1) Why can't I use command line editing in my `cmdtool'? - -The problem is `cmdtool' and bash fighting over the input. When -scrolling is enabled in a cmdtool window, cmdtool puts the tty in -`raw mode' to permit command-line editing using the mouse for -applications that cannot do it themselves. As a result, bash and -cmdtool each try to read keyboard input immediately, with neither -getting enough of it to be useful. - -This mode also causes cmdtool to not implement many of the -terminal functions and control sequences appearing in the -`sun-cmd' termcap entry. For a more complete explanation, see -that file examples/suncmd.termcap in the bash distribution. - -`xterm' is a better choice, and gets along with bash much more -smoothly. - -If you must use cmdtool, you can use the termcap description in -examples/suncmd.termcap. Set the TERMCAP variable to the terminal -description contained in that file, i.e. - -TERMCAP='Mu|sun-cmd:am:bs:km:pt:li#34:co#80:cl=^L:ce=\E[K:cd=\E[J:rs=\E[s:' - -Then export TERMCAP and start a new cmdtool window from that shell. -The bash command-line editing should behave better in the new -cmdtool. If this works, you can put the assignment to TERMCAP -in your bashrc file. - -F2) I built bash on Solaris 2. Why do globbing expansions and filename - completion chop off the first few characters of each filename? - -This is the consequence of building bash on SunOS 5 and linking -with the libraries in /usr/ucblib, but using the definitions -and structures from files in /usr/include. - -The actual conflict is between the dirent structure in -/usr/include/dirent.h and the struct returned by the version of -`readdir' in libucb.a (a 4.3-BSD style `struct direct'). - -Make sure you've got /usr/ccs/bin ahead of /usr/ucb in your $PATH -when configuring and building bash. This will ensure that you -use /usr/ccs/bin/cc or acc instead of /usr/ucb/cc and that you -link with libc before libucb. - -If you have installed the Sun C compiler, you may also need to -put /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin into your $PATH before -/usr/ucb. - -F3) Why does bash dump core after I interrupt username completion or - `~user' tilde expansion on a machine running NIS? - -This is a famous and long-standing bug in the SunOS YP (sorry, NIS) -client library, which is part of libc. - -The YP library code keeps static state -- a pointer into the data -returned from the server. When YP initializes itself (setpwent), -it looks at this pointer and calls free on it if it's non-null. -So far, so good. - -If one of the YP functions is interrupted during getpwent (the -exact function is interpretwithsave()), and returns NULL, the -pointer is freed without being reset to NULL, and the function -returns. The next time getpwent is called, it sees that this -pointer is non-null, calls free, and the bash free() blows up -because it's being asked to free freed memory. - -The traditional Unix mallocs allow memory to be freed multiple -times; that's probably why this has never been fixed. You can -run configure with the `--without-gnu-malloc' option to use -the C library malloc and avoid the problem. - -F4) I'm running SVR4.2. Why is the line erased every time I type `@'? - -The `@' character is the default `line kill' character in most -versions of System V, including SVR4.2. You can change this -character to whatever you want using `stty'. For example, to -change the line kill character to control-u, type - - stty kill ^U - -where the `^' and `U' can be two separate characters. - -F5) Why does bash report syntax errors when my C News scripts use a - redirection before a subshell command? - -The actual command in question is something like - - < file ( command ) - -According to the grammar given in the POSIX.2 standard, this construct -is, in fact, a syntax error. Redirections may only precede `simple -commands'. A subshell construct such as the above is one of the shell's -`compound commands'. A redirection may only follow a compound command. - -This affects the mechanical transformation of commands that use `cat' -to pipe a file into a command (a favorite Useless-Use-Of-Cat topic on -comp.unix.shell). While most commands of the form - - cat file | command - -can be converted to `< file command', shell control structures such as -loops and subshells require `command < file'. - -The file CWRU/sh-redir-hack in the bash-2.05a distribution is an -(unofficial) patch to parse.y that will modify the grammar to -support this construct. It will not apply with `patch'; you must -modify parse.y by hand. Note that if you apply this, you must -recompile with -DREDIRECTION_HACK. This introduces a large -number of reduce/reduce conflicts into the shell grammar. - -F6) Why can't I use vi-mode editing on Red Hat Linux 6.1? - -The short answer is that Red Hat screwed up. - -The long answer is that they shipped an /etc/inputrc that only works -for emacs mode editing, and then screwed all the vi users by setting -INPUTRC to /etc/inputrc in /etc/profile. - -The short fix is to do one of the following: remove or rename -/etc/inputrc, set INPUTRC=~/.inputrc in ~/.bashrc (or .bash_profile, -but make sure you export it if you do), remove the assignment to -INPUTRC from /etc/profile, add - - set keymap emacs - -to the beginning of /etc/inputrc, or bracket the key bindings in -/etc/inputrc with these lines - - $if mode=emacs - [...] - $endif - -F7) Why do bash-2.05a and bash-2.05b fail to compile `printf.def' on - HP/UX 11.x? - -HP/UX's support for long double is imperfect at best. - -GCC will support it without problems, but the HP C library functions -like strtold(3) and printf(3) don't actually work with long doubles. -HP implemented a `long_double' type as a 4-element array of 32-bit -ints, and that is what the library functions use. The ANSI C -`long double' type is a 128-bit floating point scalar. - -The easiest fix, until HP fixes things up, is to edit the generated -config.h and #undef the HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE line. After doing that, -the compilation should complete successfully. - -Section G: How can I get bash to do certain common things? - -G1) How can I get bash to read and display eight-bit characters? - -This is a process requiring several steps. - -First, you must ensure that the `physical' data path is a full eight -bits. For xterms, for example, the `vt100' resources `eightBitInput' -and `eightBitOutput' should be set to `true'. - -Once you have set up an eight-bit path, you must tell the kernel and -tty driver to leave the eighth bit of characters alone when processing -keyboard input. Use `stty' to do this: - - stty cs8 -istrip -parenb - -For old BSD-style systems, you can use - - stty pass8 - -You may also need - - stty even odd - -Finally, you need to tell readline that you will be inputting and -displaying eight-bit characters. You use readline variables to do -this. These variables can be set in your .inputrc or using the bash -`bind' builtin. Here's an example using `bind': - - bash$ bind 'set convert-meta off' - bash$ bind 'set meta-flag on' - bash$ bind 'set output-meta on' - -The `set' commands between the single quotes may also be placed -in ~/.inputrc. - -G2) How do I write a function `x' to replace builtin command `x', but - still invoke the command from within the function? - -This is why the `command' and `builtin' builtins exist. The -`command' builtin executes the command supplied as its first -argument, skipping over any function defined with that name. The -`builtin' builtin executes the builtin command given as its first -argument directly. - -For example, to write a function to replace `cd' that writes the -hostname and current directory to an xterm title bar, use -something like the following: - - cd() - { - builtin cd "$@" && xtitle "$HOST: $PWD" - } - -This could also be written using `command' instead of `builtin'; -the version above is marginally more efficient. - -G3) How can I find the value of a shell variable whose name is the value - of another shell variable? - -Versions of Bash newer than Bash-2.0 support this directly. You can use - - ${!var} - -For example, the following sequence of commands will echo `z': - - var1=var2 - var2=z - echo ${!var1} - -For sh compatibility, use the `eval' builtin. The important -thing to remember is that `eval' expands the arguments you give -it again, so you need to quote the parts of the arguments that -you want `eval' to act on. - -For example, this expression prints the value of the last positional -parameter: - - eval echo \"\$\{$#\}\" - -The expansion of the quoted portions of this expression will be -deferred until `eval' runs, while the `$#' will be expanded -before `eval' is executed. In versions of bash later than bash-2.0, - - echo ${!#} - -does the same thing. - -This is not the same thing as ksh93 `nameref' variables, though the syntax -is similar. I may add namerefs in a future bash version. - -G4) How can I make the bash `time' reserved word print timing output that - looks like the output from my system's /usr/bin/time? - -The bash command timing code looks for a variable `TIMEFORMAT' and -uses its value as a format string to decide how to display the -timing statistics. - -The value of TIMEFORMAT is a string with `%' escapes expanded in a -fashion similar in spirit to printf(3). The manual page explains -the meanings of the escape sequences in the format string. - -If TIMEFORMAT is not set, bash acts as if the following assignment had -been performed: - - TIMEFORMAT=$'\nreal\t%3lR\nuser\t%3lU\nsys\t%3lS' - -The POSIX.2 default time format (used by `time -p command') is - - TIMEFORMAT=$'real %2R\nuser %2U\nsys %2S' - -The BSD /usr/bin/time format can be emulated with: - - TIMEFORMAT=$'\t%1R real\t%1U user\t%1S sys' - -The System V /usr/bin/time format can be emulated with: - - TIMEFORMAT=$'\nreal\t%1R\nuser\t%1U\nsys\t%1S' - -The ksh format can be emulated with: - - TIMEFORMAT=$'\nreal\t%2lR\nuser\t%2lU\nsys\t%2lS' - -G5) How do I get the current directory into my prompt? - -Bash provides a number of backslash-escape sequences which are expanded -when the prompt string (PS1 or PS2) is displayed. The full list is in -the manual page. - -The \w expansion gives the full pathname of the current directory, with -a tilde (`~') substituted for the current value of $HOME. The \W -expansion gives the basename of the current directory. To put the full -pathname of the current directory into the path without any tilde -subsitution, use $PWD. Here are some examples: - - PS1='\w$ ' # current directory with tilde - PS1='\W$ ' # basename of current directory - PS1='$PWD$ ' # full pathname of current directory - -The single quotes are important in the final example to prevent $PWD from -being expanded when the assignment to PS1 is performed. - -G6) How can I rename "*.foo" to "*.bar"? - -Use the pattern removal functionality described in D3. The following `for' -loop will do the trick: - - for f in *.foo; do - mv $f ${f%foo}bar - done - -G7) How can I translate a filename from uppercase to lowercase? - -The script examples/functions/lowercase, originally written by John DuBois, -will do the trick. The converse is left as an exercise. - -G8) How can I write a filename expansion (globbing) pattern that will match - all files in the current directory except "." and ".."? - -You must have set the `extglob' shell option using `shopt -s extglob' to use -this: - - echo .!(.|) * - -A solution that works without extended globbing is given in the Unix Shell -FAQ, posted periodically to comp.unix.shell. - -Section H: Where do I go from here? - -H1) How do I report bugs in bash, and where should I look for fixes and - advice? - -Use the `bashbug' script to report bugs. It is built and -installed at the same time as bash. It provides a standard -template for reporting a problem and automatically includes -information about your configuration and build environment. - -`bashbug' sends its reports to bug-bash@gnu.org, which -is a large mailing list gatewayed to the usenet newsgroup gnu.bash.bug. - -Bug fixes, answers to questions, and announcements of new releases -are all posted to gnu.bash.bug. Discussions concerning bash features -and problems also take place there. - -To reach the bash maintainers directly, send mail to -bash-maintainers@gnu.org. - -H2) What kind of bash documentation is there? - -First, look in the doc directory in the bash distribution. It should -contain at least the following files: - -bash.1 an extensive, thorough Unix-style manual page -builtins.1 a manual page covering just bash builtin commands -bashref.texi a reference manual in GNU tex`info format -bashref.info an info version of the reference manual -FAQ this file -article.ms text of an article written for The Linux Journal -readline.3 a man page describing readline - -Postscript, HTML, and ASCII files created from the above source are -available in the documentation distribution. - -There is additional documentation available for anonymous FTP from host -ftp.cwru.edu in the `pub/bash' directory. - -Cameron Newham and Bill Rosenblatt have written a book on bash, published -by O'Reilly and Associates. The book is based on Bill Rosenblatt's Korn -Shell book. The title is ``Learning the Bash Shell'', and the ISBN number -is 1-56592-147-X. Look for it in fine bookstores near you. This book -covers bash-1.14, but has an appendix describing some of the new features -in bash-2.0. - -A second edition of this book is available, published in January, 1998. -The ISBN number is 1-56592-347-2. Look for it in the same fine bookstores -or on the web. - -The GNU Bash Reference Manual has been published as a printed book by -Network Theory Ltd (Paperback, ISBN: 0-9541617-7-7, Feb 2003). It covers -bash-2.0 and is available from most online bookstores (see -http://www.network-theory.co.uk/bash/manual/ for details). The publisher -will donate $1 to the Free Software Foundation for each copy sold. - -H3) What's coming in future versions? - -These are features I hope to include in a future version of bash. - -a better bash debugger (a minimally-tested version is included with bash-2.05b) -associative arrays -co-processes, but with a new-style syntax that looks like function declaration - -H4) What's on the bash `wish list' for future versions? - -These are features that may or may not appear in a future version of bash. - -breaking some of the shell functionality into embeddable libraries -a module system like zsh's, using dynamic loading like builtins -better internationalization using GNU `gettext' -date-stamped command history -a bash programmer's guide with a chapter on creating loadable builtins -a better loadable interface to perl with access to the shell builtins and - variables (contributions gratefully accepted) -ksh93-like `nameref' variables -ksh93-like `+=' variable assignment operator -ksh93-like `xx.yy' variables (including some of the .sh.* variables) and - associated disipline functions -Some of the new ksh93 pattern matching operators, like backreferencing - -H5) When will the next release appear? - -The next version will appear sometime in 2002.
