-
-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. This is not backwards compatible, so
- it can be disabled by setting the bash compatibility mode to 4.2.
-
-aaa. Fixed the rest of the cases where the shell runs non-allowed code in a
- signal handler context.
-
-bbb. Fixed a bug that caused spurious DEL characters (\177) to appear in

-eee. Fixed a logic bug that caused extended globbing in a multibyte locale to
- cause failures when using the pattern substititution word expansions.
-
-fff. Fixed a bug that caused the `lastpipe' option to corrupt the file
- descriptor used to read the script.
-
-ggg. Fixed a bug that causes the shell to delete DEL characters in the
- expanded value of variables used in the same quoted string as variables
- that expand to nothing.
-
-hhh. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to assign the wrong value from an
- assignment like (( x=7 )) when `x' was an existing array variable.
-
-iii. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to misbehave when generating sequences
- and the boundary values overflow an intmax_t.

- printf %(...)T format overflowed the value accepted by localtime(3).
-
-zzz. Fixed a problem with displaying help topics in two columns when the
- translated text contained multibyte characters.
-
-aaaa. Fixed a bug with the extended globbing pattern matcher where a `*' was
- followed by a negated extended glob pattern.
-
-bbbb. Fixed a race condition with short-lived coproc creation and reaping that
- caused the child process to be reaped before the various coproc shell
- variables were initialized.
-
-cccc. 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 bug that caused `declare' and `test' to find variables that

-
-mmmm. Fixed a (mostly theoretical) bug with input lines longer than SIZE_MAX.
-
-nnnn. Fixed a bug that could result in double evaluation of command
- substitutions when they appear in failed redirections.
-
-oooo. Fixed a bug that could cause seg faults during `mapfile' callbacks if
- the callback unsets the array variable mapfile is using.
-
-pppp. Fixed several problems with variable assignments using ${var:=value}
- when the variable assignment is supposed to have side effects.
-
-qqqq. Fixed a bug that caused a failure of an assignment statement preceding a
- builtin caused the next invocation of a special builtin to exit the shell.
-
-rrrr. Fixed several problems with IFS when it appears in the temporary environment

-
-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

- word containing a globbing character with `show-all-if-ambiguous' set.
-
-ddddd. Fixed a bug that caused printf's %q format specifier not to quote a
- tilde even if it appeared in a location where it would be subject to
- tilde expansion.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that did not allow the `dd', `cc', or `yy' vi editing mode
- commands to work on the entire line.
-

- 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

-
-s. Fixed a bug that caused redisplay errors when trying to overwrite
- existing characters using multibyte characters.
-
-3. 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}<word redirection feature now allows words like {array[ind]} and
- can use variables with special meanings to the shell (e.g., BASH_XTRACEFD).
-
-z. There is a new CHILD_MAX special shell variable; its value controls the
- number of exited child statues the shell remembers.
-
-aa. There is a new configuration option (--enable-direxpand-default) that
- causes the `direxpand' shell option to be enabled by default.
-
-bb. Bash does not do anything special to ensure that the file descriptor
- assigned to X in {x}<foo remains open after the block containing it
- completes.
-
-cc. The `wait' builtin has a new `-n' option to wait for the next child to
- change status.
-
-dd. The `printf' %(...)T format specifier now uses the current time if no
- argument is supplied.
-
-ee. There is a new variable, BASH_COMPAT, that controls the current shell
- compatibility level.
-
-ff. The `popd' builtin now treats additional arguments as errors.
-
-gg. The brace expansion code now treats a failed sequence expansion as a
- simple string and will continue to expand brace terms in the remainder
- of the word.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. Readline is now more responsive to SIGHUP and other fatal signals when
- reading input from the terminal or performing word completion but no
- longer attempts to run any not-allowable functions from a signal handler
- context.
-
-b. There are new bindable commands to search the history for the string of
- characters between the beginning of the line and the point
- (history-substring-search-forward, history-substring-search-backward)
-
-c. Readline allows quoted strings as the values of variables when setting
- them with `set'. As a side effect, trailing spaces and tabs are ignored
- when setting a string variable's value.
-
-d. The history library creates a backup of the history file when writing it
- and restores the backup on a write error.
-
-e. New application-settable variable: rl_filename_stat_hook: a function called
- with a filename before using it in a call to stat(2). Bash uses it to
- expand shell variables so things like $HOME/Downloads have a slash
- appended.
-
-f. New bindable function `print-last-kbd-macro', prints the most-recently-
- defined keyboard macro in a reusable format.
-
-g. New user-settable variable `colored-stats', enables use of colored text
- to denote file types when displaying possible completions (colored analog
- of visible-stats).
-
-h. New user-settable variable `keyseq-timout', acts as an inter-character
- timeout when reading input or incremental search strings.
-
-i. New application-callable function: rl_clear_history. Clears the history list
- and frees all readline-associated private data.
-
-j. New user-settable variable, show-mode-in-prompt, adds a characters to the
- beginning of the prompt indicating the current editing mode.
-
-k. New application-settable variable: rl_input_available_hook; function to be
- called when readline detects there is data available on its input file
- descriptor.
-
-l. Readline calls an application-set event hook (rl_signal_event_hook) after
- it gets a signal while reading input (read returns -1/EINTR but readline
- does not handle the signal immediately) to allow the application to handle
- or otherwise note it. Not currently called for SIGHUP or SIGTERM.
-
-m. If the user-settable variable `history-size' is set to a value less than
- 0, the history list size is unlimited.

-
-1. Changes to Bash

-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused some redirection errors to leak file descriptors.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused unary `+' and `-' arithmetic operators to have a
- higher precedence than unary `!' and `~'.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that caused simple commands in a pipeline to affect the exit

-
-h. Fixed the cd and pwd builtins to return failure if PWD is readonly and
- cannot be assigned to.
-
-i. Added code to check the return value of access(2) on Solaris systems,
- since it returns success for executable tests (e.g., `test -x') when
- run by root, even if the file permissions don't allow execution.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused directory names in words to be completed to not
- be dequoted correctly.

- parameters to cause the shell to dump core when used in a pattern
- matching context.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused variable expansions preceding regular builtins to
- not change the shell environment during their execution.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-

- as if it were a negative argument.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-4.2-alpha,
-and the previous version, bash-4.1-release.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a bug in the parser when processing alias expansions containing
- quoted newlines.
-
-b. Fixed a memory leak in associative array expansion.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that caused quoted here-strings to be requoted when printed.
-
-d. Fixed a bug in arithmetic expansion that caused the index in an array
- expansion to be evaluated twice under certain circumstances.
-
-e. Fixed several bugs with the expansion and display of variables that have
- been given attributes but not values and are technically unset.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when using filename completion that
- expands to a filename containing a globbing character.
-
-g. Fixed a bug that caused assignment statements preceding a special builtin
- when running in Posix mode to not persist after the builtin completed
- when the special builtin was executed in a shell function without any
- local variables.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused a command to remain in the hash table even after
- `hash command' did not find anything if there was already an existing
- hashed pathname.
-
-i. Fixed several bugs caused by executing unsafe functions from a signal
- handler in the cases where a signal handler is executed immediately
- rather than setting a flag for later execution.
-
-j. Fixed a bug that caused some internal flag variables to be set
- incorrectly if `read -t' timed out.
-
-k. Fixed a Posix compatibility issue by making sure that a backslash escaping
- a `}' within a double-quoted ${...} parameter expansion is removed as part
- of the parameter expansion.
-
-l. Fixed a bug that caused execution of a trap to overwrite PIPESTATUS.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused here documents to not be displayed correctly
- when attached to commands inside compound commands.
-
-n. Fixed a bug that caused the printf builtin to use the wrong precision
- when using the `*' modifier.
-
-o. Fixed a bug that caused an arriving SIGCHLD to interrupt output functions
- like those invoked by echo or printf.
-
-p. Changed to use a more robust mechanism than eaccess(2) when test is
- checking filenames for execution permission.
-
-q. Fixed a bug that caused spurious semicolons to be added into the command
- history in certain cases.
-
-r. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to free non-allocated memory when
- unsetting element 0 of an associative array after it was assigned
- implicitly.
-
-s. Fixed a bug that could cause the shell to dump core if using the `v'
- vi editing command on a multi-line command.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that left FIFOs opened by process substitutions open long
- enough to potentially cause file descriptor exhaustion when running a
- shell function or shell builtin.
-
-u. Fixed a bug that caused the history expansion functions to not recognize
- process substitution or extended glob patterns as single words.
-
-v. Fixed a bug that caused restricted shells to set a restricted command's
- exit status incorrectly.
-
-w. Fixed a bug that caused bash to ignore the wrong set of filenames when
- completing a command using the `complete-filename' readline command.
-
-x. Fixed a bug that caused a -PID argument following a -s sig or -n sig to
- not be interpreted as a signal specification.
-
-y. Changed posix-mode behavior of a parse error in a `.' script or `eval'
- command to exit the shell under Posix-specified conditions. Previous
- versions printed a warning.
-
-z. Fixed a bug in \W prompt expansion that resulted in incorrect expansion
- in the event of overlapping strings.
-
-aa. Fixed a bug that caused the := parameter expansion operator to return the
- wrong value as the result of the expansion.
-
-bb. When in Posix mode, a single quote is not treated specially in a
- double-quoted ${...} expansion, unless the expansion operator is
- # or % or the non-Posix `//', `^', and `,'. In particular, it does
- not define a new quoting context. This is from Posix interpretation 221.
-
-cc. Fixed a bug that inadvertently allowed program names containing slashes
- to be entered into the command hash table.
-
-dd. Fixed a bug that caused the select builtin to incorrectly compute the
- display width of the arguments in the presence of multibyte characters.
-
-ee. Fixed a bug that caused bash to not change the xtrace file descriptor if
- BASH_XTRACEFD was found in the shell environment at startup.
-
-ff. Fixed a memory leak in the pattern removal parameter expansion.
-
-gg. Fixed a bug that caused SIGINT to fail to interrupt a nested loop if the
- loop was in a pipeline.
-
-hh. Fixed a problem in $(...) parsing that caused the parser to add an extra
- space to a here-document delimiter if the first word contained a `/'.
-
-ii. Fixed a bug that caused functions defined with the `function' reserved
- word to require braces around the function body.
-
-jj. Fixed a bug that caused bash to dump core when a variable expansion being
- used as an array subscript failed.
-
-kk. Fixed a bug that caused bash to dump core if the case-modification
- expansions were used on a variable with a null value.
-
-ll. Fixed a bug that caused partially-quoted strings to be split incorrectly
- if a variable with a null value was expanded within double quotes.
-
-mm. The pattern substitution word expansion has been sped up dramatically
- when running in a locale with multibyte characters.
-
-nn. Fixed a bug that caused history -a to not write the correct lines to
- the history file if all the new lines in the history list were added
- since the last time the history file was read or written.
-
-oo. Fixed a bug that caused completion of a word with an unclosed `` command
- substitution to set the prompt incorrectly.
-
-pp. Fixed a bug that caused extended globbing patterns in $HISTIGNORE or
- $GLOBIGNORE to be incorrectly scanned.
-
-qq. Fixed a bug caused by closing file descriptors 3-20 on shell startup. The
- shell now sets them to close-on-exec.
-
-rr. Fixed a bug that caused the exit status of `exec file' to be set incorrectly
- if `file' was a directory.
-
-ss. Fixed a bug in the `.' builtin to make a non-interactive posix-mode shell
- exit if the file argument to `.' is not found. Prefixing exec with
- `command' makes the shell not exit. Posix requires this behavior.
-
-tt. Fixed a bug that caused `sh -c 'command exec; exit 1' to hang.
-
-uu. Fixed a bug in $(...) command substitution parsing that caused the shell
- to treat backslash-newline incorrectly when parsing a comment.
-
-vv. Fixed bug that caused brace expansion sequence generation to misbehave
- when supplied integers greater than 2**31 - 1.
-
-ww. Fixed a bug that caused failure to save file descriptors for redirections
- to corrupt shell file descriptors.
-
-xx. Fixed a bug that caused bash-forward-shellword to not correctly handle
- quoted strings.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused the unconverted filename to be added to the list of
- completions when the application specified filename conversion functions.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused the wrong filename to be passed to opendir when the
- application has specified a filename dequoting function.
-
-c. Fixed a bug when repeating a character search in vi mode in the case where
- there was no search to repeat.
-
-d. When show-all-if-ambiguous is set, the completion routines no longer insert
- a common match prefix that is shorter than the text being completed.
-
-e. The full set of vi editing commands may now be used in callback mode.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused readline to not update its idea of the terminal
- dimensions while running in `no-echo' mode.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused readline to dump core if an application called
- rl_prep_terminal without setting rl_instream.
-
-i. Fixed a bug that caused meta-prefixed characters bound to incremental
- search forward or backward to not be recognized if they were typed
- subsequently.
-
-j. The incremental search code treats key sequences that map to the same
- functions as (default) ^G, ^W, and ^Y as equivalent to those characters.
-
-k. Fixed a bug in menu-complete that caused it to misbehave with large
- negative argument.
-
-l. Fixed a bug that caused vi-mode yank-last-arg to ring the bell when invoked
- at the end of the line.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. `exec -a foo' now sets $0 to `foo' in an executable shell script without a
- leading #!.
-
-b. Subshells begun to execute command substitutions or run shell functions or
- builtins in subshells do not reset trap strings until a new trap is
- specified. This allows $(trap) to display the caller's traps and the
- trap strings to persist until a new trap is set.
-
-c. `trap -p' will now show signals ignored at shell startup, though their
- disposition still cannot be modified.
-
-d. $'...', echo, and printf understand \uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX escape sequences.
-
-e. declare/typeset has a new `-g' option, which creates variables in the
- global scope even when run in a shell function.
-
-f. test/[/[[ have a new -v variable unary operator, which returns success if
- `variable' has been set.
-
-g. Posix parsing changes to allow `! time command' and multiple consecutive
- instances of `!' (which toggle) and `time' (which have no cumulative
- effect).
-
-h. Posix change to allow `time' as a command by itself to print the elapsed
- user, system, and real times for the shell and its children.
-
-j. $((...)) is always parsed as an arithmetic expansion first, instead of as
- a potential nested command substitution, as Posix requires.
-
-k. A new FUNCNEST variable to allow the user to control the maximum shell
- function nesting (recursive execution) level.
-
-l. The mapfile builtin now supplies a third argument to the callback command:
- the line about to be assigned to the supplied array index.
-
-m. The printf builtin has a new %(fmt)T specifier, which allows time values
- to use strftime-like formatting.
-
-n. There is a new `compat41' shell option.
-
-o. The cd builtin has a new Posix-mandated `-e' option.
-
-p. Negative subscripts to indexed arrays, previously errors, now are treated
- as offsets from the maximum assigned index + 1.
-
-q. Negative length specifications in the ${var:offset:length} expansion,
- previously errors, are now treated as offsets from the end of the variable.
-
-r. Parsing change to allow `time -p --'.
-
-s. Posix-mode parsing change to not recognize `time' as a keyword if the
- following token begins with a `-'. This means no more Posix-mode
- `time -p'. Posix interpretation 267.
-
-t. There is a new `lastpipe' shell option that runs the last command of a
- pipeline in the current shell context. The lastpipe option has no
- effect if job control is enabled.
-
-u. History expansion no longer expands the `$!' variable expansion.
-
-v. Posix mode shells no longer exit if a variable assignment error occurs
- with an assignment preceding a command that is not a special builtin.
-
-w. Non-interactive mode shells exit if -u is enabled and an attempt is made
- to use an unset variable with the % or # expansions, the `//', `^', or
- `,' expansions, or the parameter length expansion.
-
-x. Posix-mode shells use the argument passed to `.' as-is if a $PATH search
- fails, effectively searching the current directory. Posix-2008 change.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. The history library does not try to write the history filename in the
- current directory if $HOME is unset. This closes a potential security
- problem if the application does not specify a history filename.
-
-b. New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of
- columns used when displaying completions.
-
-c. New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive
- completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical.
-
-d. There are new bindable vi-mode command names to avoid readline's case-
- insensitive matching not allowing them to be bound separately.
-
-e. New bindable variable `menu-complete-display-prefix' causes the menu
- completion code to display the common prefix of the possible completions
- before cycling through the list, instead of after.
-

-
-k. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to crash when a a dynamic array variable
- was assigned a scalar value.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-3. New Features in Bash

-i. Fixed a bug that caused terminal attributes to not be reset when the
- `read' builtin timed out.
-
-j. Fixed a bug in brace expansion that caused unwanted zero padding of the
- expanded terms.
-
-k. 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

-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

-
-v. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to replace too many characters when a
- pattern match was null in a ${foo//bar} expansion.
-
-w. 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

- 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 bug that caused the shell to free non-allocated memory when
- unsetting an associative array which had had a value implicitly assigned
- to index "0".
-
-oo. 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. The SIGWINCH signal handler now avoids calling the redisplay code if
- one arrives while in the middle of redisplay.
-
-b. Changes to the timeout code to make sure that timeout values greater
- than one second are handled better.
-
-c. Fixed a bug in the redisplay code that was triggered by a prompt
- containing invisible characters exactly the width of the screen.
-
-d. Fixed a bug in the redisplay code encountered when running in horizontal
- scroll mode.
-
-e. Fixed a bug that prevented menu completion from properly completing
- filenames.
-
-f. Fixed a redisplay bug caused by a multibyte character causing a line to
- wrap.
-
-g. Fixed a bug that caused key sequences of two characters to not be
- recognized when a longer sequence identical in the first two characters
- was bound.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused history expansion to be attempted on $'...'
- single-quoted strings.
-
-i. Fixed a bug that caused incorrect redisplay when the prompt contained
- multibyte characters in an `invisible' sequence bracketed by \[ and
- \].
-

- 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 (( commands are now subject to the setting of `set -e' and the
- ERR trap.
-
-k. The source/. builtin now removes NUL bytes from the file before attempting
- to parse commands.
-
-l. There is a new configuration option (in config-top.h) that forces bash to
- forward all history entries to syslog.
-
-m. A new variable $BASHOPTS to export shell options settable using `shopt' to
- child processes.
-
-n. There is a new confgure option that forces the extglob option to be
- enabled by default.
-
-o. New variable $BASH_XTRACEFD; when set to an integer bash will write xtrace
- output to that file descriptor.
-
-p. If the optional left-hand-side of a redirection is of the form {var}, the
- shell assigns the file descriptor used to $var or uses $var as the file
- descriptor to move or close, depending on the redirection operator.
-
-q. 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. The read builtin has a new `-N nchars' option, which reads exactly NCHARS
- characters, ignoring delimiters like newline.
-
-4. 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.

-
-rr. Brace expansion now allows process substitutions to pass through unchanged.
-
-ss. Fixed a problem in the command name completion code to avoid quoting

- first character of $IFS was not whitespace.
-
-ddd. Fixed a bug that occurred when scanning for the ending delimiter of a
- ${parameter/pat/sub} expansion.
-
-eee. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to inappropriately expand command
- substitutions in words when expanding directory names for completion.
-
-fff. Fixed a bug that caused the `fc' builtin to look too far back in the

- `history -d' was executed until a sufficient number of commands had been
- saved to the history.
-
-uuu. Bash now parses command substitutions according to Posix rules: parsing
- the command contained in $() to find the closing delimiter.
-
-vvv. Fixed a bug that caused traps on SIGCHLD set in a SIGCHLD handler to
- not persist.
-
-www. Fixed a bug that didn't allow SIGCHLD to interrupt the `wait' builtin
- as Posix specifies.
-
-xxx. Invalid numeric arguments to shell builtins no longer cause the shell to
- short-circuit any executing compound command.
-
-yyy. Fixed a bug that caused the exit status to be lost when `break' was

-a. Fixed a number of redisplay errors in environments supporting multibyte
- characters.
-
-b. Fixed bugs in vi command mode that caused motion commands to inappropriately
- set the mark.
-
-c. When using the arrow keys in vi insertion mode, readline allows movement
- beyond the current end of the line (unlike command mode).
-
-d. Fixed bugs that caused readline to loop when the terminal has been taken
- away and reads return -1/EIO.
-
-e. Fixed bugs in redisplay occurring when displaying prompts containing
- invisible characters.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused the completion append character to not be reset to
- the default after an application-specified completion function changed it.
-
-g. Fixed a problem that caused incorrect positioning of the cursor while in
- emacs editing mode when moving forward at the end of a line while using
- a locale supporting multibyte characters.

-
-r. Fixed bugs in redisplay when using prompts with no visible printing
- characters.
-
-3. 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.
-
-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.

-a. Fixed a redisplay bug that occurred in multibyte-capable locales when the
- prompt was one character longer than the screen width.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.2-beta,
-and the previous version, bash-3.2-alpha.
-
-1. Changes to Bash

- process substitution.
-
-c. Fixed problems with cross-compiling originating from inherited environment
- variables.
-
-d. Added write error reporting to printf builtin.
-
-e. Fixed a bug in the variable expansion code that could cause a core dump in
- a multi-byte locale.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused substring expansion of a null string to return

- the prompt and input line multiple times.
-
-b. Fixed history expansion to not be confused by here-string redirection.
-
-c. Readline no longer treats read errors by converting them to newlines, as
- it does with EOF. This caused partial lines to be returned from readline().
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.2-alpha,
-and the previous version, bash-3.1-release.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a source bug that caused the minimal configuration to not compile.

-f. Fixed two bugs with local array variable creation when shadowing a variable
- of the same name from a previous context.
-
-g. Fixed the `read' builtin to restore the correct set of completion functions
- if a timeout occurs.
-
-h. Added code to defer the initialization of HISTSIZE (and its stifling of the
- history list) until the history file is loaded, allowing a startup file to
- override the default value.
-
-i. Tightened up the arithmetic expression parsing to produce better error
- messages when presented with invalid operators.
-
-j. Fixed the cross-compilation support to build the signal list at shell
- invocation rather than compile time if cross-compiling.
-
-k. Fixed multibyte support for non-gcc compilers (or compilers that do not
- allow automatic array variable sizing based on a non-constant value).
-
-l. Several fixes to the code that manages the list of terminated jobs and
- their exit statuses, and the list of active and recently-terminated jobs
- to avoid pid aliasing/wraparound and allocation errors.
-
-m. Fixed a problem that allowed scripts to die due to SIGINT while waiting
- for children, even when started in the background or otherwise ignoring
- SIGINT.
-
-n. Fixed a bug that caused shells invoked as -/bin/bash from not being
- recognized as login shells.
-
-o. Fixed a problem that caused shells in the background to give the terminal
- to a process group other than the foreground shell process group.
-
-p. Fixed a problem with extracting the `varname' in ${#varname}.
-
-q. Fixed the code that handles SIGQUIT to not exit immediately -- thereby
- calling functions that may not be called in a signal handler context --
- but set a flag and exit afterward (like SIGINT).
-
-r. Changed the brace expansion code to skip over braces that don't begin a
- valid matched brace expansion construct.
-
-s. Fixed `typeset' and `declare' to not require that their shell function
- operands to be valid shell identifiers.
-
-t. Changed `test' to use access(2) with a temporary uid/euid swap when testing
- file attributes and running setuid, and access(2) in most other cases.
-
-u. Changed completion code to not attempt command name completion on a line
- consisting solely of whitespace when no_empty_command_completion is set.
-
-v. The `hash' builtin now prints nothing in posix mode when the hash table is
- empty, and prints a message to that effect to stdout instead of stderr
- when not in posix mode.
-
-w. Fixed a bug in the extended pattern matching code that caused it to fail to
- match periods with certain patterns.
-
-x. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to dump core when performing filename
- generation in directories with thousands of files.
-
-y. Returned to the original Bourne shell rules for parsing ``: no recursive
- parsing of embedded quoted strings or ${...} constructs.
-
-z. The inheritence of the DEBUG, RETURN, and ERR traps is now dependent only
- on the settings of the `functrace' and `errtrace' shell options, rather
- than whether or not the shell is in debugging mode.
-
-aa. Fixed a problem with $HOME being converted to ~ in the expansion of
- members of the DIRSTACK array.
-

- shell comments into account.
-
-ff. Fixed a bug that caused $((...);(...)) to be misinterpreted as an
- arithmetic substitution.
-
-gg. Fixed a bug in the prompt expansion code that inappropriately added a
- \001 before a \002 under certain circumstances.
-
-hh. Fixed a bug that caused `unset LANG' to not properly reset the locale
- (previous versions would set the locale back to what it was when bash
- was started rather than the system's "native" locale).
-
-ii. Fixed a bug that could cause file descriptors > 10 to not be closed even
- when closed explicitly by a script.
-
-jj. Fixed a bug that caused single quotes to be stripped from ANSI-C quoting
- inside double-quoted command substitutions.
-
-kk. Fixed a bug that could cause core dumps when `return' was executed as the
- last element of a pipeline inside a shell function.
-
-ll. Fixed a bug that caused DEBUG trap strings to overwrite commands stored in
- the jobs list.

-
-a. Fixed a problem that caused segmentation faults when using readline in
- callback mode and typing consecutive DEL characters on an empty line.
-
-b. Fixed several redisplay problems with multibyte characters, all having to
- do with the different code paths and variable meanings between single-byte
- and multibyte character redisplay.
-
-c. Fixed a problem with key sequence translation when presented with the
- sequence \M-\C-x.
-

- convert-meta and use \e where appropriate.
-
-h. Changed the default filename completion function to call the filename
- dequoting function if the directory completion hook isn't set. This means
- that any directory completion hooks need to dequote the directory name,
- since application-specific hooks need to know how the word was quoted,
- even if no other changes are made.
-
-i. Fixed a bug with creating the prompt for a non-interactive search string
- when there are non-printing characters in the primary prompt.
-
-j. Fixed a bug that caused prompts with invisible characters to be redrawn
- multiple times in a multibyte locale.

- to display a portion of the prompt.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. Changed the parameter pattern replacement functions to not anchor the
- pattern at the beginning of the string if doing global replacement - that
- combination doesn't make any sense.
-
-b. When running in `word expansion only' mode (--wordexp option), inhibit
- process substitution.
-
-c. Loadable builtins now work on MacOS X 10.[34].
-
-d. Shells running in posix mode no longer set $HOME, as POSIX requires.
-
-e. The code that checks for binary files being executed as shell scripts now
- checks only for NUL rather than any non-printing character.
-
-f. Quoting the string argument to the [[ command's =~ operator now forces
- string matching, as with the other pattern-matching operators.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. Calling applications can now set the keyboard timeout to 0, allowing
- poll-like behavior.
-
-b. The value of SYS_INPUTRC (configurable at compilation time) is now used as
- the default last-ditch startup file.
-
-c. The history file reading functions now allow windows-like \r\n line
- terminators.

- and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of
- what the kernel returns.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.1-rc1,

-
-a. Fixed a bug that could cause core dumps due to accessing the current

- the trap command rather than the status as it was before the trap was
- run as the shell's exit status.
-
-2. New Features in Bash
-
-3. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused reversing the incremental search direction to
- not work correctly.
-
-b. Fixed the vi-mode `U' command to only undo up to the first time insert mode

-
-f. 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. This fixes problems
- with tilde expansion when linking against and already-installed readline.
-
-h. Small fix to the logic for performing tilde expansion in posix mode, so
- expansion on the right-hand side of an assignment statement takes place.
-
-i. Fixed a bug that prevented redirections associated with a shell function
- from being executed when in a subshell.
-
-j. Fixed `source' and `.' builtins to not require an executable file when

-
-l. Fixed a problem with the `kill' builtin that prevented sending signals
- to a process group under certain circumstances when providing a pid < 0.
-
-m. When in POSIX mode, `pwd' now checks that the value it prints is the same

-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 small memory leak in the pathname canonicalization code.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that caused the expanded value of a $'...' string to be
- incorrectly re-quoted if it occurred within a double-quoted ${...}

-
-v. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when interrupting loops running builtins
- on some systems.
-
-w. Make sure that some of the functions bash provides replacements for are
- not cpp defines.
-
-x. The code that scans embedded commands for the parser (`...` and $(...)) is
- now more aware of embedded comments and their effect on quoted strings.
-
-y. Changed the `-n' option to the `history' builtin to not reset the number of
- history lines read in the current session after reading the new lines from
- the history file if the history is being appended when it is written to
- the file, since the appending takes care of the problem that the adjustment
- was intended to solve.
-
-z. Improved the error message displayed when a shell script fails to execute
- because the environment and size of command line arguments are too large.
-
-aa. A small fix to make sure that $HISTCMD is evaluated whenever the shell is
- saving commands to the history list, not just when HISTSIZE is defined.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. The `change-case' command now correctly changes the case of multibyte
- characters.
-
-b. Changes to the shared library construction scripts to deal with Windows
- DLL naming conventions for Cygwin.
-
-c. Fixed the redisplay code to avoid core dumps resulting from a poorly-timed
- SIGWINCH.
-
-d. Fixed the non-incremental search code in vi mode to dispose of any current
- undo list when copying a line from the history into the current editing
- buffer.
-
-e. The variable assignment code now ignores whitespace at the end of lines
- when assigning to boolean variables.
-
-f. The `C-w' binding in incremental search now understands multibyte
- characters.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. A new configuration option, `--enable-strict-posix-default', which will
- build bash to be POSIX conforming by default.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. If the rl_completion_query_items is set to a value < 0, readline never
- asks the user whether or not to view the possible completions.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.1-alpha1,
-and the previous version, bash-3.0-release.

-a. Fixed a bug that caused bash to crash if referencing an unset local array.
-
-b. Fixed a problem that caused tilde expansion to not be performed before

- wrong values.
-
-v. Fixed a bug in printf that caused it to not return failure on write errors.
-
-w. Fixed a bug that caused commands in subshells to not be properly timed.
-
-x. The shell parser no longer attempts to parse a compound assignment specially
- unless in a position where an assignment statement is acceptable or parsing
- arguments to a builtin that accepts assignment statements.
-
-y. Fixed a problem that caused a `case' statement to be added to the history
- incorrectly as a single command if the `case word' was on one line and the
- `in' on another.
-
-z. Fixed a problem that caused internal shell quoting characters to be
- incorrectly quoted with backslashes under some circumstances.
-
-aa. The shell now performs correct word splitting when IFS contains multibyte
- characters.
-
-bb. The mail checking code now resets the cached file information if the size
- drops to 0, even if the times don't change.
-
-cc. A completed command name that is found in $PATH as well as the name of a
- directory in the current directory no longer has a slash appended in certain
- circumstances: a single instance found in $PATH when `.' is not in $PATH,
- and multiple instances found in $PATH, even when `.' is in $PATH.
-
-dd. Incorporated tilde expansion into the word expansion code rather than as a
- separately-called function, fixing some cases where it was performed
- inappropriately (e.g., after the second `=' in an assignment statement or
- in a double-quoted parameter expansion).
-
-ee. Fixed several bugs encountered when parsing compound assignment statements,
- so that compound assignments appearing as arguments to builtins are no
- longer double-expanded.
-
-ff. Fixed a bug in the command execution code that caused asynchronous commands
- containing command substitutions to not put the terminal in the wrong
- process group.
-
-gg. Bash now handles the case where the WCONTINUED flag causes waitpid() to
- return -1/EINVAL at runtime as well as configuration time.
-
-hh. Fixed parser to generate an error when the pipeline `argument' to `!' or
- `time' is NULL.
-
-ii. The shell now takes a little more care when manipulating file descriptors
- greater than 9 with the `exec' builtin.
-
-jj. Fixed a bug that caused variable assignments preceding the `command' builtin
- preceding a special builtin to be preserved after the command completed in
- POSIX mode.
-
-kk. Fixed a bug that allowed variables beginning with a digit to be created.
-
-ll. Fixed a bug that caused a \<newline> to be removed when parsing a $'...'
- construct.
-
-mm. A shell whose name begins with `-' will now be a restricted shell if the
- remainder of the name indicates it should be restricted.
-
-nn. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump if FUNCNAME were changed or unset
- during a function's execution.
-
-oo. Fixed a bug that caused executing a `return' in a function to not execute
- a RETURN trap. The RETURN trap is inherited by shell functions only if
- function tracing is globally enabled or has been enabled for that function.
-
-pp. Fixed cases where var[@] was not handled exactly like var, when var is a
- scalar variable.
-
-qq. Fixed a bug that caused the first character after a SIGINT to be discarded
- under certain circumstances.
-
-rr. Fixed exit status code so that a suspended job returns 128+signal as its
- exit status (preventing commands after it in `&&' lists from being
- executed).
-
-ss. Fixed a bug that caused the shell parser state to be changed by executing
- a shell function as a result of word completion.
-
-tt. Fixed a long-standing bug that caused '\177' characters in variable
- values to be discarded when expanded in double-quoted strings.
-
-uu. Fixed a bug that caused $RANDOM to be re-seeded multiple times in a
- subshell environment.
-
-vv. Extensive changes to the job management code to avoid the pid-reuse and
- pid-aliasing problems caused by retaining the exit status of too many jobs,
- but still retain as many background job statuses as POSIX requires.
-
-ww. Fixed a parser bug in processing \<newline> 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 a bug that caused short-circuiting of execution even if the return
- value was being inverted.
-
-ddd. Fixed a bug that caused a core dump while decoding \W escapes in PS1 if
- PWD was unset.
-
-eee. Fixed a bug in `read' that counted internal quoting characters for the
- purposes of `read -n'.
-
-fff. Fixed a bug so that a function definition in a pipeline causes a child
- process to be forked at the right time.
-
-ggg. Bash will not attempt to link against a readline library that doesn't
- have rl_gnu_readline_p == 1.
-
-hhh. Fixed a bug that caused `read' to consume one too many characters when
- reading a fixed number of characters and the Nth character is a backslash.
-
-iii. Fixed a bug that caused `unset' on variables in the temporary environment
- to leave them set when `unset' completed.
-
-jjj. Fixed a bug that caused bash to close fd 2 if an `exec' failed and the
- shell didn't exit.
-
-kkk. The completion code is more careful to not turn `/' or `///' into `//',
- for those systems on which `//' has special meaning.
-
-lll. Fixed a bug that caused command substitution in asynchronous commands to
- close the wrong file descriptors.
-
-mmm. The shell no longer prints status messages about terminated background
- processes unless job control is active.
-
-nnn. Fixed a bug that prevented multiple consecutive invocations of `history -s'
- from adding all the commands to the history list.
-
-ooo. Added a couple of changes to make arithmetic expansion more consistent in
- all its contexts (still not perfect).
-
-ppp. Fixed a bug that caused the parser to occasionally not find the right
- terminating "`" in an old-style command substitution.
-
-qqq. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when the shell was reading its non-
- interactive input from fd 0 and fd 0 was duplicated and restored using a
- combination of `exec' (to save) and redirection (to restore).
-
-rrr. Fixed a problem that caused loops in sourced scripts to not be cleaned
- up properly when a `return' is executed.
-
-sss. Change internal command substitution completion function to append a slash
- to directory names in the command.

- line correctly.
-
-c. Fixed a problem in computing the number of invisible characters on the first
- line of a prompt whose length exceeds the screen width.
-

-
-e. Fixed the vi-mode `~' command (change-case) to have the correct behavior at
- end-of-line when manipulating multibyte characters.
-
-f. 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. 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.
-
-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. Saves deleted text for possible
- reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound
- to this in vi command mode.
-

-
-a. Fixed a boundary overrun that could cause segmentation faults when the

- functions.
-
-b. Changed posix mode behavior so that an error in a variable assignment
- preceding a special builtin causes a non-interactive shell to exit.
-
-c. Change the directory expansion portion of the completion code to not
- expand embedded command substitutions if the directory name appears in
- the file system.
-

-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.0-rc1,
-and the previous version, bash-3.0-beta1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused incorrect behavior when referecing element 0 of
- an array using $array, element 0 was unset, and `set -u' was enabled.

- expression evaluator that caused errors when the operands and corresponding
- operators were separated by whitespace.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused `history -p' to add an entry to the history list,
- counter to the documentation. (Keeps the history expansions invoked by
- emacs-mode command line editing from doing that as well.)
-
-g. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump if `cd' is asked to print out a
- pathname longer than PATH_MAX characters.
-
-h. Fixed a bug that caused jobs to be put into the wrong process group under
- some circumstances after enabling job control with `set -m'.
-
-i. `unalias' now returns failure if no alias name arguments are supplied.
-
-j. Documented the characters not allowed to appear in an alias name.
-
-k. $* is no longer expanded as if in double quotes when it appears in the
- body of a here document, as the SUS seems to require.

- access rather than trying to guess how the underlying OS provides for
- secure temporary file creation.
-
-m. Fixed a few problems with `cd' and `pwd' when asked to operate on pathnames
- longer than PATH_MAX characters.
-
-n. Fixed a memory leak caused when creating multiple local array variables
- with identical names.

-
-p. The `trap' builtin now reports an error if a single non-signal argument
- is specified.
-
-q. Fixed a bug that caused `umask' to not work correctly when presented
- with a mask of all 0s.
-
-r. When `getopts' reaches the end of options, OPTARG is unset, as POSIX
- appears to specify.
-
-s. Interactive mode now depends on whether or not stdin and stderr are
- connected to a tty; formerly it was stdin and stdout. POSIX requires
- this.
-
-t. Fixed vi-mode completion to work more as POSIX specifies (e.g., doing the
- right kind of filename generation).
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a problem that could cause readline to refer to freed memory when
- moving between history lines while doing searches.
-
-b. Improvements to the code that expands and displays prompt strings

-a. The `jobs', `kill', and `wait' builtins now accept job control notation
- even if job control is not enabled.
-
-b. 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.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. When listing completions, directories have a `/' appended if the
- `mark-directories' option has been enabled.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.0-beta1,
-and the previous version, bash-3.0-alpha.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixes to build correctly when arrays are not compiled into the shell.
-
-b. Fixed command substitution to run any exit trap defined in the command
- substitution before returning; the exit trap is not inherited from the
- calling shell.
-
-c. Fixes to process group synchronization code so that every child process
- attempts to set the terminal's process group; fixes some synchronization
- problems on Linux kernels that schedule the child to always run before
- the parent.
-
-d. Fixed processing of octal and hex constants in printf builtin for POSIX.2
- compliance.
-
-e. Fixed a couple of core dumps in the pattern removal code.
-

- arrays.
-
-g. Parser errors and other errors that result in the shell exiting now cause
- the exit trap to be run.

- closing quote, because it would be inserted a closing "`" or ")".
-
-i. Fix history initialization so assignments to $histchars made in startup
- files are honored.
-
-j. If an exit trap does not contain a call to `exit', the shell now uses
- the exit status of the last command executed before the trap as the exit
- status of the shell.
-
-k. The parser now prompts with $PS2 if it reads a newline while parsing a
- compound array assignment statement.
-
-l. When performing a compound array assignment, the parser doesn't treat
- words of the form [index]=value as assignments if they're the result of
- expansions.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused `return' executed in a trap command to make the
- shell think it was still running the trap.
-
-n. Fixed the value of errno set by the pathname canonicalization functions.
-
-o. Changed the grammar so that `time' alone on a line times a null command
- rather than being a syntax error.
-
-p. The pattern substitution code no longer performs quote removal on the
- pattern before trying to match it, as the pattern removal functions do.
-
-q. Fixed a bug that could cause core dumps when checking whether a quoted
- command name was being completed.
-
-r. Fixes to the pattern removal and pattern replacement expansions to deal
- with multibyte characters better (and faster).
-
-s. Fix to the substring expansion (${param:off[:len]}) to deal with (possibly
- multibyte) characters instead of raw bytes.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that caused some key bindings set in an inputrc to be ignored
- at shell startup.
-
-u. Fixed a bug that caused unsetting a local variable within a function to
- not work correctly.
-
-v. Fixed a bug that caused invalid variables to be created when using
- `read -a'.
-
-w. Fixed a bug that caused "$@" to expand incorrectly when used as the right
- hand side of a parameter expansion such as ${word:="$@"} if the first
- character of $IFS was not a space.
-
-x. Fixed a slight cosmetic problem when printing commands containing a
- `>&word' redirection.
-
-y. Fixed a problem that could cause here documents to not be created correctly
- if the system temporary directory did not allow writing.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Change to history expansion functions to treat `^' as equivalent to word
- one, as the documention states.
-
-b. Some changes to the display code to improve display and redisplay of
- multibyte characters.
-
-c. Changes to speed up the multibyte character redisplay code.
-
-d. Fixed a bug in the vi-mode `E' command that caused it to skip over the
- last character of a word if invoked while point was on the word's
- next-to-last character.
-
-e. Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect filename quoting when
- case-insensitive completion was enabled and the word being completed
- contained backslashes quoting word break characters.
-
-f. Fixed a bug in redisplay triggered when the prompt string contains
- invisible characters.
-
-g. Fixed some display (and other) bugs encountered in multibyte locales
- when a non-ascii character was the last character on a line.
-
-h. Fixed some display bugs caused by multibyte characters in prompt strings.
-
-i. Fixed a problem with history expansion caused by non-whitespace characters
- used as history word delimiters.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. printf builtin understands two new escape sequences: \" and \?.
-
-b. `echo -e' understands two new escape sequences: \" and \?.
-
-c. The GNU `gettext' package and libintl have been integrated; the shell's
- messages can be translated into different languages.
-
-d. The `\W' prompt expansion now abbreviates $HOME as `~', like `\w'.
-
-e. 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.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. New application variable, rl_completion_quote_character, set to any
- quote character readline finds before it calls the application completion
- function.
-
-b. 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.
-
-c. 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.
-
-d. 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.
-
-e. New bindable command: unix-filename-rubout. Does the same thing as
- unix-word-rubout, but adds `/' to the set of word delimiters.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.0-alpha,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05b-release.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixes so that the shell will compile without some of the default options
- defined.
-
-b. Fixed an error message that did not pass enough arguments to printf.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that caused input redirection to a builtin inside a script
- being read from standard input to result in the rest of the already-
- read and buffered script to be discarded.
-
-d. Fixed a bug that caused subshell initialization to close the file
- descriptor from which the shell was reading a script under certain
- circumstances.
-
-e. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to not advance a string pointer over
- a null wide character when doing string operations.
-
-f. Fixed the internal logout code so that shells that time out waiting for
- input (using $TMOUT) run ~/.bash_logout.
-
-g. Portability and configuration changes for: cygwin, HP/UX, GNU/FreeBSD.
-
-h. The parser no longer adds implicit double quotes to ((...)) arithmetic
- commands.
-
-i. The ((...)) arithmetic command evaluation code was fixed to not dump core
- when the expanded string is null.
-
-j. The ((...)) arithmetic command evaluation code was fixed to not perform
- variable assignments while expanding the expression.
-
-k. Fixed a bug that caused word splitting to be performed incorrectly when
- IFS is set, but null.
-
-l. Fixed a bug in brace expansion that caused a quoted `$' preceding an
- open brace to inhibit brace expansion.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused a leading `-' in the shell's name to cause it to
- not be recognized as a restricted shell.
-
-n. Fixed a bug in the arithmetic evaluation code that could cause longjmps
- to an invalid location and result in a core dump.
-
-o. Fixed a bug in the calculation of how many history lines are new in a
- single shell session when reading new history lines from a file with
- `history -n'.
-
-p. Fixed a bug in pathname canonicalization that caused the shell to dump
- core when presented with a pathname longer than PATH_MAX.
-
-q. Fixed the parser so that it doesn't try to compare a char variable to
- EOF, which fails when chars are unsigned.
-
-r. Fixed a bug in the simple command execution code that caused occasional
- core dumps.
-
-s. The shell does a better job of saving any partial parsing state during
- operations which cause a command to be executed while a line is being
- entered and parsed.
-
-t. The completion code now splits words more like the expansion code when
- $IFS is used to split.
-
-u. The locale code does a better job of recomputing the various locale
- variable values when LC_ALL is unset.
-
-v. The programmable completion code does a better job of dequoting expanded
- word lists before comparing them against the word to be matched.
-
-w. The shell no longer seg faults if the expanded value of $PS4 is null
- and `set -x' is enabled.
-
-x. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when a here string expanded to NULL.
-
-y. The mail checking code now makes sure the mailbox is bigger before
- reporting the existence of new mail.
-
-z. The parser does not try to expand $'...' and $"..." when the appear
- within double quotes unless the `extquote' option has been enabled with
- `shopt'. For backwards compatibility, it is enabled by default.
-
-aa. Fixed a bug that caused `for x; do ...' and `select x; do ... to use
- $@ instead of "$@" for the implicit list of arguments.
-
-bb. Fixed a bug that caused a subshell of a restricted shell (e.g., one
- spawned to execute a pipeline) to not exit immediately if attempting
- to use a command containing a slash.
-
-cc. Fixed a problem with empty replacements for a pattern that doesn't match
- when performing ${param/word/} expansion.
-
-dd. Word expansions performed while expanding redirections no longer search
- a command's temporary environment to expand variable values.
-
-ee. Improvements to the alias expansion code when expanding subsequent words
- because an aliase's value ends with a space.
-
-ff. `cd -' now prints the current working directory after a successful chdir
- even when the shell is not interactive, as the standard requires.
-
-gg. The shell does a better job of ensuring a child process dies of SIGINT
- before resending SIGINT to itself.
-
-hh. The arithmetic expansion variable assignment code now does the right
- thing when assigning to `special' variables like OPTIND.
-
-ii. When history expansion verification is enabled, the bash readline helper
- functions that do history expansion on the current line don't print
- the results.
-
-jj. Fixed bugs with multiple consecutive alias expansion when one of the
- expansions ends with a space.
-
-kk. Fixed a problem in the programmable completion code that could cause core
- dumps when trying to initialize a set of possible completions from a
- list of variables.
-
-ll. The \[ and \] escape characters are now ignored when decoding the prompt
- string if the shell is started with editing disabled.
-
-mm. Fixed a bug that could leave extra characters in a string when doing
- quoted null character removal.
-
-nn. Command substitution and other subshell operations no longer reset the
- line number (aids the bash debugger).
-
-oo. Better line number management when executing simple commands, conditional
- commands, for commands, and select commands.
-
-pp. The globbing code now uses malloc, with its better failure properties,
- rather than alloca().
-

- appropriate array element instead of a variable named `a[2]'.
-
-rr. Fixed a bug in the handling of a `?(...)' pattern immediately following
- a `*' when extglob is enabled.

-
-tt. Fixed a bug that caused CTLESC and CTLNUL characters to not be escaped
- by the internal shell string quoting functions.
-
-uu. Fixed a bug that caused quoted null characters in an expanded word list
- to be inappropriately assigned to an array variable when using `read -a'.
-
-vv. Fixed a bug that caused redirections accompanying a null command to persist
- in the current shell.
-
-ww. Fixed a bug that caused the prompt to be printed when the shell was
- expanding a multiline alias.
-
-xx. Fixed a bug that resulted in core dumps when the completion for a command
- changed the compspec.
-
-yy. Fixed a bug that caused evaluation of programmable completions to print
- notifications of completed jobs.
-
-zz. Bash now disables line editing when $EMACS == `t' and $TERM == `dumb'
- (which is what emacs shell windows do).
-
-aaa. In posix mode, `kill -l' causes signal names to be displayed without
- a leading `SIG'.
-
-bbb. Clear error flag on standard output so it doesn't persist across multiple
- builtin commands.
-
-ccc. In posix mode, `alias' displays alias values without the leading `alias',
- so the output cannot be used as subsequent input.
-
-ddd. In posix mode, the `trap' builtin doesn't check whether or not its
- first argument is a signal specification and revert the signal handling
- to its original disposition if it is.
-
-eee. Fixed several bugs in the handling of "$*" and "${array[*]}" by the
- pattern substitution and removal expansions.
-
-fff. Fixed several problems with the handling of ${array[@]}, ${array[*]},
- $@, and $* by the indirect variable expansion code.
-
-ggg. Fixed a bug that did not allow `time' to be aliased.
-
-hhh. 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. Fixed PATH lookup code so it treats the permission bits separately for
- owner, group, and other, rather than checking them all.
-
-lll. Fixed the locale code to reset the parser's idea of the character class
- <blank>, which controls how it splits tokens, when the locale changes.
-
-mmm. The shell now binds its special readline functions and key bindings only
- if the user's inputrc file has not already bound them.
-
-nnn. The shell now reports on processes that dump core due to signals when
- invoked as `-c command'.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixes to avoid core dumps because of null pointer references in the
- multibyte character code.
-
-b. Fix to avoid infinite recursion caused by certain key combinations.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that caused the vi-mode `last command' to be set incorrectly.
-
-d. Readline no longer tries to read ahead more than one line of input, even
- when more is available.
-
-e. Fixed the code that adjusts the point to not mishandle null wide
- characters.
-
-f. Fixed a bug in the history expansion `g' modifier that caused it to skip
- every other match.
-
-g. Fixed a bug that caused the prompt to overwrite previous output when the
- output doesn't contain a newline and the locale supports multibyte
- characters. This same change fixes the problem of readline redisplay
- slowing down dramatically as the line gets longer in multibyte locales.
-
-h. History traversal with arrow keys in vi insertion mode causes the cursor
- to be placed at the end of the new line, like in emacs mode.
-
-i. The locale initialization code does a better job of using the right
- precedence and defaulting when checking the appropriate environment
- variables.
-
-j. Fixed the history word tokenizer to handle <( and >( better when used as
- part of bash.
-
-k. The overwrite mode code received several bug fixes to improve undo.
-
-l. Many speedups to the multibyte character redisplay code.
-
-m. The callback character reading interface should not hang waiting to read
- keyboard input.
-
-n. Fixed a bug with redoing vi-mode `s' command.
-
-o. The code that initializes the terminal tracks changes made to the terminal
- special characters with stty(1) (or equivalent), so that these changes
- are reflected in the readline bindings. New application-callable function
- to make it work: rl_tty_unset_default_bindings().
-
-p. Fixed a bug that could cause garbage to be inserted in the buffer when
- changing character case in vi mode when using a multibyte locale.
-
-q. Fixed a bug in the redisplay code that caused problems on systems
- supporting multibyte characters when moving between history lines when the
- new line has more glyphs but fewer bytes.
-
-r. Undo and redo now work better after exiting vi insertion mode.
-
-s. Make sure system calls are restarted after a SIGWINCH is received using
- SA_RESTART.
-
-t. Improvements to the code that displays possible completions when using
- multibyte characters.
-
-u. Fixed a problem when parsing nested if statements in inputrc files.
-
-v. The completer now takes multibyte characters into account when looking for
- quoted substrings on which to perform completion.
-
-w. The history search functions now perform better bounds checking on the
- history list.
-
-3. 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.
-
-4. 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()

-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05b-release,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05b-beta2.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed an off-by-one error in the function that translates job
- specifications.
-
-b. Note that we're running under Emacs and disable line editing if
- $EMACS == `t'.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05b-beta2,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05b-beta1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed the /= and %= arithmetic operators to catch division by zero.
-
-b. Added putenv, setenv, unsetenv to getenv replacement for completeness.
-
-c. Fixed a bug that could cause the -O expand_aliases invocation option
- to not take effect.
-
-d. Fixed a problem with process substitution that resulted in incorrect
- behavior when the number of process substitutions in an individual
- command approached 64.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a problem with backward-char-search when on a system 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-beta1,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05b-alpha1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed a problem when parsing a POSIX.2 character class name while
- evaluating a bracket expression containing multibyte characters.
-
-b. Changed the help text for `bind' to make it clear that any command
- that may be placed in ~/.inputrc is a valid argument to `bind'.
-
-c. Added `help' builtin entries for `((', `[[', and arithmetic for.
-
-d. malloc updated again:
- o slightly better overflow and underflow detection by putting the
- chunk size at the beginning and end of the chunk and making
- sure they match in free/realloc
- o partial page allocated to make things page-aligned no longer
- completely wasted
- o block coalescing now enabled by default
- o splitting and coalescing enabled for 32-byte chunks, the most
- common size requested
- o fixed a problem that resulted in spurious underflow messages and
- aborts
- o bin sizes are precomputed and stored in an array rather than
- being computed at run time
- o malloc will return memory blocks back to the system if the block
- being freed is at the top of the heap and of sufficient size to
- make it worthwhile
- o malloc/free/realloc now inline memset instead of calling the
- libc function; uses Duff's device for good performance
-
-e. Check for getservent(); make the service name completion code dependent
- on its presence.
-
-f. Changed the readline callback that executes a command bound to a key
- sequence to not save the executed command on the history list and to
- save and restore the parsing state.
-
-g. Changes to lib/sh/snprintf.c: fixed some bugs in the `g' and `G'
- floating point format display; implemented the "'" flag character
- that turns on thousands' grouping; fixed behavior on systems where
- MB_CUR_MAX does not evaluate to a constant.
-
-h. The `unset' builtin no longer returns a failure status when asked to
- unset a previously-unset variable or function.
-
-i. Changes to the build system to make it easier to cross-compile bash
- for different systems.
-
-j. Added `,' to the characters that are backslash-escaped during filename
- completion, to avoid problems with complete-into-braces and RCS filenames
- containing commas.
-
-k. Some changes to the multibyte character support code to avoid many calls
- to strlen().
-
-l. Bash now correctly honors setting LANG to some value when LC_ALL does not
- already have a value.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that could cause SIGSEGV when processing nested traps with
- trap handlers.
-
-n. The `source/.' builtin now restores the positional parameters when it
- returns unless they were changed using the `set' builtin during the file's
- execution.
-
-o. Fixed a bug that caused a syntax error when a command was terminated by
- EOF.
-
-2. New Features in Bash
-
-a. There is now support for placing the long help text into separate files
- installed into ${datadir}/bash. Not enabled by default; can be turned
- on with `--enable-separate-helpfiles' option to configure.
-
-b. All builtins that take operands accept a `--' pseudo-option, except
- `echo'.
-
-c. The `echo' builtin now accepts \0xxx (zero to three octal digits following
- the `0') in addition to \xxx (one to three octal digits) for SUSv3/XPG6/
- POSIX.1-2001 compliance.
-
-3. 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. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Fixed the snprintf replacement to correctly implement the `alternate form'
- of the %g and %G conversions.
-
-b. 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
- <ctype.h>.
-
-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 auto-exports HOSTNAME, HOSTTYPE, MACHTYPE, or OSTYPE,
- even if it assigns them default values.
-
-y. 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
- <ctype.h>.
-
-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<x' where 4242 is an out-of-range
- file descriptor).
-
-cc. `printf', `echo -e', and the $'...' code now process only two hex digits
- after a `\x' escape sequence for compatibility with other shells, and
- the documentation was changed to note that the octal and hex escape
- sequences result in an eight-bit value rather than strict ASCII.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. The completion code now attempts to do a better job of preserving the
- case of the word the user typed if ignoring case in completions.
-
-b. Readline defaults to not echoing the input and lets the terminal
- initialization code enable echoing if there is a controlling terminal.
-
-c. The key binding code now processes only two hex digits after a `\x'
- escape sequence, and the documentation was changed to note that the
- octal and hex escape sequences result in an eight-bit value rather
- than strict ASCII.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. 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'
-
-b. `ulimit' now prints the option letter associated with a particular
- resource when printing more than one limit.
-
-c. `ulimit' prints `hard' or `soft' when a value is not `unlimited' but is
- one of RLIM_SAVED_MAX or RLIM_SAVED_CUR, respectively.
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. New bindable variable `history-preserve-point'. If set, the history
- code attempts to place the user at the same location on each history
- line retrived with previous-history or next-history.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05a-alpha1,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05-release.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Better checks in the redirection code for write errors.
-

-c. System-specific configuration changes for: Interix, OpenBSD, FreeBSD,
- MacOS X.
-
-d. Some more `const' cleanups through the code.
-
-e. Fixed a typo in the /dev/fd redirection code, better checks for valid
- numeric fds in /dev/fd.
-
-f. Fixed many parts of the shell to handle integer overflow more gracefully
- and to do more stringent checks for valid numbers.

-h. Fixed an uninitialized variable problem that could cause the shell to core
- dump when replacing characters in a string.
-
-i. New mechanism for updating the patch level when official patches are
- released (patchlevel.h).
-
-j. configure.in changed to no longer require external files _distribution and
- _patchlevel.
-
-k. Fixed non-interactive shell initialization problem when bash started as
- `bash -i filename'.
-
-l. Fixed printf builtin conversion error handling to be POSIX.2-conformant.
-
-m. autoconf-2.52 is now used to build configure; autoconf-2.50 or newer is
- required. Some of the bash-specific macros were removed, since they are
- now standard.
-
-n. Startup files and files read with source or `.' are no longer required to
- be regular files.
-
-o. Fixed core dump in builtin printf when user-supplied precision or field
- width is 0.
-
-p. Fixed builtin printf to treat a negative field width as a positive field
- width with left-justification.
-
-r. New unwind-protect implementation from Paul Eggert.
-
-s. Fixed an inadvertently-unclosed comment in the bash completion code that
- caused programmable completions to not add trailing slashes or spaces to
- completions.
-
-t. Fixed the process substitution code to cope better when stdin is closed.
-
-v. Fixes, mostly from Paul Eggert, for a few possible buffer overflows in
- the shell.
-
-w. Fixes from Paul Eggert to avoid most of the type casts in the shell code,
- and use more appropriate types for a number of variables.
-
-x. Command substition no longer inherits the DEBUG trap.
-
-y. Some fixes to the process substition code on machines without /dev/fd so
- that named pipes are not removed inappropriately.
-
-z. The loadable `getconf' builtin is now much more complete, and will become
- part of the shell in the future.
-
-aa. The select command no longer terminates on a `return', so it can be used
- to return from an enclosing function (as ksh does it).
-
-bb. Fixed the extended pattern matching code to behave better when presented
- with incorrectly-formed patterns.
-
-cc. Some changes were made with the intent of making cross-compilation easier.
-
-dd. The network code (/dev/tcp and /dev/udp redirections) uses getaddrinfo(3)
- if it's available, which adds support for IPv6.
-
-ee. Subshells of login shells no longer source ~/.bash_logout when they exit.
-
-ff. Fixes so that subshells don't exit inappropriately if the -e option has
- been set.
-
-gg. Restricted shells no longer allow functions to be exported.
-
-hh. Changes to the pattern matching code so extended pattern matching works
- on systems with deficient shared library implementations, like MacOS X.
-
-ii. Better error messages when a script with a leading `#!interp' fails
- to execute because of problems with `interp'.
-
-jj. Fixed `compgen' to handle the `-o default' option better.
-
-kk. Fixed the job control code to force an asynchronous process's standard
- input to /dev/null only if job control is not active.
-
-ll. Fixed a possible infinite recursion problem when `fc ""=abc' (a null
- pattern) is used to re-execute a previous command.
-
-mm. Fixed `declare [-a] var=value' to assign VALUE to element 0 if VAR is an
- array variable. Similarly for `declare [-a] var[N]=value'. This is like
- ksh93.
-
-nn. Fixed a bug that caused `read -a aname' to work even if ANAME had been
- declared readonly.
-
-oo. Fixed a possible integer overflow problem when constructing names for
- temporary files.
-
-2. New Features in Bash
-
-a. Added support for DESTDIR installation root prefix, so you can do a
- `make install DESTDIR=bash-root' and do easier binary packaging.
-
-b. Added support for builtin printf "'" flag character as per latest POSIX
- drafts.
-
-c. Support for POSIX.2 printf(1) length specifiers `j', `t', and `z' (from
- ISO C99).
-
-d. New autoconf macro, RL_LIB_READLINE_VERSION, for use by other applications
- (bash doesn't use very much of what it returns).
-
-e. `set [-+]o nolog' is recognized as required by the latest POSIX drafts,
- but ignored.
-
-f. New read-only `shopt' option: login_shell. Set to non-zero value if the
- shell is a login shell.
-
-g. New `\A' prompt string escape sequence; expands to time in 24 HH:MM format.
-
-h. New `-A group/-g' option to complete and compgen; does group name
- completion.
-
-i. New `-t' option to `hash' to list hash values for each filename argument.
-
-j. 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.
-
-3. Changes to Readline
-
-a. More `const' and type casting fixes.
-
-b. Changed rl_message() to use vsnprintf(3) (if available) to fix buffer
- overflow problems.
-
-c. The completion code no longer appends a `/' or ` ' to a match when
- completing a symbolic link that resolves to a directory name, unless
- the match does not add anything to the word being completed. This
- means that a tab will complete the word up to the full name, but not
- add anything, and a subsequent tab will add a slash.
-
-d. Fixed a trivial typo that made the vi-mode `dT' command not work.
-
-e. Fixed the tty code so that ^S and ^Q can be inserted with rl_quoted_insert.
-
-f. Fixed the tty code so that ^V works more than once.
-
-g. Changed the use of __P((...)) for function prototypes to PARAMS((...))
- because the use of __P in typedefs conflicted g++ and glibc.
-
-4. 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. New #defines in readline.h: RL_READLINE_VERSION, currently 0x0402,
- RL_VERSION_MAJOR, currently 4, and RL_VERSION_MINOR, currently 2.
-
-c. New readline variable: rl_readline_version, mirrors RL_READLINE_VERSION.
-
-d. New bindable boolean readline variable: match-hidden-files. Controls
- completion of files beginning with a `.' (on Unix). Enabled by default.
-
-e. The history expansion code now allows any character to terminate a
- `:first-' modifier, like csh.
-
-f. The incremental search code remembers the last search string and uses
- it if ^R^R is typed without a search string.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.05-release,
-and the previous version, bash-2.05-beta2.
-
-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. Make sure we note that the first line of a multi-line command was not
- saved in the history if the tests for HISTCONTROL succeed, but the
- HISTIGNORE check fails.
-
-b. Fixed a bug in the pattern matching code that caused `[' to be treated
- as a special character inside a `[...]' bracket expression.
-
-c. Fixed a bug in the pattern matching code that caused `]' to terminate
- a bracket expression even if it was the first character after the `['
- (or a leading `!' or `^').
-
-d. Made a small change to report a more user-friendly error message if
- execve(2) fails because of an error with the interpreter in a script
- with a leading `#! interpreter'.
-
-e. If the OS does not support an exec(2) magic number of `#!', make sure we
- have a non-null interpreter name before attempting to execute it.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused the shell process to end up in a different
- process group than the controlling terminal if a job-control shell was
- run with `exec' in the startup files.
-
-g. When started in POSIX mode, either by `bash --posix', `bash -o posix', or
- `sh', $SHELLOPTS includes `posix' and POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.
-
-h. Fixed a problem that caused the `\W' prompt string escape sequence to
- expand to nothing when $PWD was `//'.
-
-i. The `bashbug' shell script no longer uses $(...) command substitution.
-
-j. When `set' is invoked without options in POSIX mode, it no longer prints
- the names and definitions of shell functions.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. rl_set_paren_blink_timeout() is now documented.
-
-b. Corrected history.3 man page: `$' is not in the default value of
- history_word_delimiters.
-
-c. If a hook function assigned to rl_event_hook sets rl_done to a non-zero
- value, rl_read_key() now immediately returns '\n' (which is assumed to
- be bound to accept-line).
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. The `>&word' redirection now works in POSIX mode as it does by default,
- since POSIX.2 leaves it unspecified.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-and the previous version, bash-2.05-beta1.
-
-1. Changes to Bash

- 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().

-
-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. Fixed a bug that caused changes to variables supplied in an assignment
- statement preceding a shell builtin to not be honored (like a script
- run with `.').
-
-s. HOSTTYPE, OSTYPE, and MACHTYPE are set only if they do not have values
- when the shell is started.
-
-t. Fixed a bug that caused SIGINT to kill shell scripts after the script
- called `wait'.

- named by $TMPDIR.
-
-v. Bash no longer calls any Readline functions or uses any Readline variables
- not declared in readline.h.
-
-w. Fixed a bug that caused some substitutions involving $@ to not be split
- correctly, especially expansions of the form ${paramterOPword}.
-
-x. SSH2_CLIENT is now treated like SSH_CLIENT and not auto-exported if it
- appears in the initial environment.
-
-y. Fixed a couple of problems with shell scripts without a leading `#!'
- being executed out of shell functions that could cause core dumps if
- such a script attempted to execute `return'.
-
-z. Fixed a problem with the `-nt' and `-ot' binary operators for the
- `test/[' builtin and the `[[' conditional command that caused wrong
- return values if one of the file arguments did not exist.
-
-aa. Fixed a bug that caused non-interactive shells which had previously
- executed `shopt -s expand_aliases' to fail to expand aliases in a
- command like `(command) &'.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Changes to make most (but not yet all -- there is still crlf()) of the
- exported readline functions declared in readline.h have an rl_ prefix.
-
-b. More `const' changes in function arguments, mostly for completion
- functions.
-
-c. Fixed a bug in rl_forward that could cause the point to be set to before
- the beginning of the line in vi mode.
-
-d. Fixed a bug in the callback read-char interface to make it work when a
- readline function pushes some input onto the input stream with
- rl_execute_next (like the incremental search functions).
-
-e. Fixed a file descriptor leak in the history file manipulation code that
- was tripped when attempting to truncate a non-regular file (like
- /dev/null).
-
-f. Some existing variables are now documented and part of the public
- interface (declared in readline.h): rl_explict_arg, rl_numeric_arg,
- rl_editing_mode, rl_last_func.
-
-g. 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. New Features in Readline
-
-a. New application-callable function rl_set_prompt(const char *prompt):
- expands its prompt string argument and sets rl_prompt to the result.
-
-b. New application-callable function rl_set_screen_size(int rows, int cols):
- public method for applications to set readline's idea of the screen
- dimensions.
-
-c. The history example program (examples/histexamp.c) is now built as one
- of the examples.

-
-f. Fixed an error in pattern matching that caused the matcher to not
- correctly skip the rest of a bracket expression after a character
- matched.
-
-g. Fixed a bug in the IFS word splitting code to make a non-whitespace IFS
- character preceded by IFS whitespace part of the current delimiter rather
- than generating a separate field.
-
-h. The {!prefix@} expansion now generates separate words, analogous to $@,
- when double-quoted.
-
-i. Command substitution now ignores NUL bytes in the command output, and the
- parser ignores them on input.
-
-j. A fix was made to the job control code to prevent hanging processes when
- the shell thinks background processes are running but the kernel returns
- -1/ECHILD from waitpid().
-
-k. `pwd' now prints an error message if the write fails when displaying the
- current directory.
-
-l. When in POSIX mode, the shell prints trap dispostions without a leading
- `SIG' in the signal specification.
-
-m. Fixed a parser bug that caused the current command's line count to be
- messed up by a compound array assignment.
-
-n. Fixed a bug in the unwind-protect code that caused bad behavior on machines
- where ints and pointers are not the same size.
-
-o. System-specific configure changes for: MacOS X.

-
-s. The `source', `.', and `fc' builtins no longer check whether a file is

-
-t. Subshells no longer turn off job control when they exit, since that
- sometimes resulted in the terminal being reset to the wrong process
- group.
-
-u. The history code no longer tries to save the second and subsequent lines
- of a multi-line command if the first line was not saved.
-
-v. The history saving code now does a better job of saving blank lines in a
- multi-line command.
-
-w. 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. When an interactive login shell starts, if $PWD and $HOME refer to the
- same directory but are not the same string, $PWD is set to $HOME.
-
-bb. Fixed `printf' to handle invalid floating point numbers better.
-
-cc. Temporary files are now created with random filenames, to improve security.
-
-dd. The readline initialization code now binds the custom bash functions and

- off at the wrong `:'.
-
-hh. The `<>' redirection is no longer subject to the current setting of
- `noclobber', as POSIX.2 specifies.
-
-ii. Fixed a bug in the conditional command parsing code that caused expressions
- in parentheses to occasionally be parsed incorrectly.
-
-jj. Fixed a bug in the ((...)) arithmetic command to allow do...done or
- {...} to follow the )) without an intervening list terminator.

- a file to be sourced with `.' or `source' if `.' is not in $PATH.
-
-mm. Interactive comments are no longer turned off when POSIX mode is disabled.
-
-nn. The UID, EUID, HOSTNAME variables are not set if they are in the shell's

- `command exec 4<file' is as if the `command' had been omitted.
-
-pp. ${foo[@]} and ${foo[*]} now work as in ksh93 if `foo' is not an array
- variable.

- an array variable.
-
-rr. The shell's idea of an absolute pathname now takes into account a
- possible drive specification on Cygwin and other Windows systems.
-
-ss. Fixed a bug which caused incorrect parsing of some multi-character
- constructs if they were split across input lines with backslash-newline
- line continuation.
-
-tt. Fixed a bug that caused restricted shell mode to be set inappropriately
- when trying to execute a shell script without a leading `#!'.
-
-uu. Shell function definitions no longer require that the body be a group
- command ( {...} ), as POSIX.2 requires.
-
-vv. The `cd' and `pwd' builtins now process symlinks in pathnames internally
- and should require many fewer calls to getcwd().
-
-ww. Fixed a bug that caused a pipeline's process group to be set incorrectly
- if one of the pipeline elements contained a command substitution.
-
-xx. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when expanding the value of HISTIGNORE.
-
-yy. The output of `set' is now quoted using $'...' so invisible characters are
- displayed as escape sequences.
-
-zz. Fixed the help text for `unset', since PATH and IFS may both be unset.

- now cause the command to return an error status.
-
-ddd. Fixed a bug that could cause incorrect output if a $(<file) construct was
- interrupted.
-
-eee. GROUPS and FUNCNAME now return an error status when assignment is
- attempted, but may be unset (in which case they lose their special
- properties). In all respects except unsetting, they are readonly.
-
-fff. The string-to-integer conversion code now ignores trailing whitespace in
- the string, even if strtol(3) does not.
-
-ggg. The tcsh magic-space function now does a better job of inserting the
- space close to where the point was before the history expansion, rather
- than just appending it.

-hhh. Fixed a bug which caused a file sourced from an interactive shell to
- fill up the jobs table if it ran lots of jobs.

-iii. Fixed a bug in the parameter pattern substitution code to avoid infinite
- recursion on zero-length matches.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. When setting the terminal attributes on systems using `struct termio',
- readline waits for output to drain before changing the attributes.
-
-b. A fix was made to the history word tokenization code to avoid attempts to
- dereference a null pointer.
-
-c. Readline now defaults rl_terminal_name to $TERM if the calling application
- has left it unset, and tries to initialize with the resultant value.
-
-d. Instead of calling (*rl_getc_function)() directly to get input in certain
- places, readline now calls rl_read_key() consistently.
-
-e. Fixed a bug in the completion code that allowed a backslash to quote a
- single quote inside a single-quoted string.
-
-f. rl_prompt is no longer assigned directly from the argument to readline(),
- but uses memory allocated by readline. This allows constant strings to
- be passed to readline without problems arising when the prompt processing
- code wants to modify the string.
-
-g. Fixed a bug that caused non-interactive history searches to return the
- wrong line when performing multiple searches backward for the same string.

- `char' is unsigned by default.
-
-j. The vi-mode numeric argument is now capped at 999999, just like emacs mode.
-
-k. The Function, CPFunction, CPPFunction, and VFunction typedefs have been
- replaced with a set of specific prototyped typedefs, though they are
- still in the readline header files for backwards compatibility.
-
-m. Nearly all of the (undocumented) internal global variables in the library
- now have an _rl_ prefix -- there were a number that did not, like
- screenheight, screenwidth, alphabetic, etc.
-
-n. The ding() convenience function has been renamed to rl_ding(), though the
- old function is still defined for backwards compatibility.
-
-o. The completion convenience functions filename_completion_function,
- username_completion_function, and completion_matches now have an rl_
- prefix, though the old names are still defined for backwards compatibility.
-
-p. The functions shared by readline and bash (linkage is satisfied from bash
- when compiling with bash, and internally otherwise) now have an sh_ prefix.
-
-q. Changed the shared library creation procedure on Linux and BSD/OS 4.x so
- that the `soname' contains only the major version number rather than the
- major and minor numbers.
-
-r. Fixed a redisplay bug that occurred when the prompt spanned more than one
- physical line and contained invisible characters.
-
-3. 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
-
-4. New Features in Readline
-
-a. The blink timeout for paren matching is now settable by applications.
-
-b. _rl_executing_macro has been renamed to rl_executing_macro, which means
- it's now part of the public interface.
-
-c. Readline has a new variable, rl_readline_state, which is a bitmap that
- encapsulates the current state of the library; intended for use by
- callbacks and hook functions.

-k. Changes to the scripts that guess and canonicalize the system type, from
- the latest `automake' distribution via Debian.
-
-l. When using named pipes for process substitution, make sure the file

-a. There is a new `rbash.1' manual page, from the Debian release.
-
-b. The `--enable-usg-echo-default' option to `configure' has been renamed to

-
-e. The shell no longer modifies the signal handler for SIGPROF, allowing
- profiling again on certain systems.
-
-f. The shell checks for a new window size, if the user has requested it,
- after a process exits due to a signal.
-
-g. Fixed a bug with variables with null values in a program's temporary
- environment and the bash getenv() replacement.

-j. The code that caches export strings from the initial environment now
- duplicates the string rather than just pointing into the environment.
-

- compile if DPAREN_ARITHMETIC was not defined but ARITH_FOR_COMMAND was.
-
-r. Fixed a bug in the here-document code tripped when the file descriptor

- interrupt was received while the shell was waiting for asynchronous
- processes in a shell script.
-
-u. Fixed the DEBUG trap code so that it has the correct value of $?.
-

-w. Fixed a bug in the positional parameter substring code that could
- cause the shell to loop freeing freed memory.
-
-x. Fixed a bug in the positional parameter pattern substitution code so

- string prefixed with `%' or `#'.
-
-y. The shell no longer attempts to import functions from the environment if
- started with `-n'.
-

- stripped from the prompt string if the terminal was in no-echo mode.
-
-c. Readline no longer tries to get the variables it needs for redisplay
- from the termcap entry if the calling application has specified its
- own redisplay function. Readline treats the terminal as `dumb' in
- this case.
-
-d. Fixes to the SIGWINCH code so that a multiple-line prompt with escape
- sequences is redrawn correctly.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. `bashbug' now accepts `--help' and `--version' options.

-
-a. Fixed a bug that could cause core dumps when performing substring
- expansion.
-
-b. Shared object configuration changes for: Solaris, OSF/1
-
-c. The POSIX_GLOB_LIBRARY code that uses the POSIX.2 globbing facilities
- for pathname expansion now understands GLOBIGNORE.
-
-d. The code that implements `eval' was changed to save the value of the
- current prompt, so an eval in a shell function called by the programmable
- completion code will not change the prompt to $PS2.
-
-e. Restored the undocumented NON_INTERACTIVE_LOGIN_SHELLS #define to
- config-top.h. If this is defined, all login shells will read the
- startup files, not just interactive and non-interactive started with
- the `--login' option.
-
-f. Fixed a bug that caused the expansion code to occasionally dump core if
- IFS contained characters > 128.
-
-g. Fixed a problem with the grammar so that a newline is not required
- after the `))' in the new-style arithmetic for statement; a semicolon
- may be used as expected.

-
-i. The $'...' and $"..." constructs are now added to the history correctly
- if they contain newlines and command-oriented history is enabled.

- completion at runtime.
-
-d. Unsetting HOSTFILE now clears the list of hostnames used for completion.
-
-4. New Features in Readline

-a. 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.

-
-m. Improvements were made to the `read' builtin so that it makes many

- is not processed by subsequent parameter expansion.
-
-r. Fixed a parsing bug that caused a single or double quote after a `$$' to
- trigger ANSI C expansion or locale translation.
-
-s. Fixed a bug in the globbing code that caused quoted filenames containing

- relies on proper behavior from the C library.
-
-dd. Minor changes were made to allow quoted variable expansions using
- ${...} to be completed correctly if there is no closing `"'.
-
-ee. Changes were made to builtins/Makefile.in so that configuring the shell

-
-a. The version number is now 4.0.
-
-b. There is no longer any #ifdef SHELL code in the source files.

- array assignments (which it probably should have done all along).
-
-c. OLDPWD is now auto-exported, as POSIX.2 seems to require.
-
-d. ENV and BASH_ENV are read-only variables in a restricted shell.
-
-4. 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. These were
- previously private functions with a `_' prefix.
-
-d. New function hook: rl_pre_input_hook, called just before readline starts
- reading input, after initialization.
-
-e. New function hook: rl_display_matches_hook, called when readline would
- display the list of completion matches. The new function
- rl_display_match_list is what readline uses internally, and is available
- for use by application functions called via this hook.
-
-f. New bindable function, delete-char-or-list, like tcsh.

- and "${array[@]}" expand correctly when IFS does not contain a space
- character, is unset, or is set to NULL.
-
-i. The indirect expansion code (${!var}) was changed so that the only
- valid values of `var' are variable names, positional parameters, `#',
- `@', and `*'.

- if it is restricted, running setuid, or running in `privileged mode'.
-
-t. Fixes were made to enable large file support on systems such as
- Solaris 2.6, where the size of a file may be larger than can be held
- in an `int'.
-
-u. The filename hashing code was fixed to not add `./' to the beginning of
- filenames which already begin with `./'.
-
-v. The configure script was changed so that the GNU termcap library is not

- that case identically to being run by rshd.
-
-cc. A bug that caused `set -a' to export SHELLOPTS when one of the shell
- options was changed was fixed.
-
-dd. The `kill' builtin now disallows empty or missing process id arguments
- instead of treating them as identical to `0', which means the current
- process.
-
-ee. `var=value declare -x var' now behaves identically to
- `var=value export var'. Similarly for `var=value declare -r var' and
- `var=value readonly var'.
-

-ll. A change was made to the code that generates filenames for here documents
- to make them less prone to name collisions.
-
-mm. The parser was changed so that `time' is recognized as a reserved word
- only at the beginning of a pipeline.

- into `/', but all other pathnames beginning with `//' are left alone, as
- POSIX.2 specifies.
-
-oo. The `logout' builtin will no longer exit a non-interactive non-login
- shell.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a problem in the readline test program rltest.c that caused a core
- dump.
-
-b. The code that handles parser directives in inputrc files now displays
- more error messages.
-
-c. The history expansion code was fixed so that the appearance of the
- history comment character at the beginning of a word inhibits history
- expansion for that word and the rest of the input line.
-
-3. New Features in Bash
-
-a. A new version of malloc, based on the older GNU malloc, that has many
- changes, is more page-based, is more conservative with memory usage,

- to the contents of `filename', with any trailing newlines removed
- (equivalent to $(cat filename)).
-
-h. There are new tilde prefixes which expand to directories from the
- directory stack.
-
-i. There is a new `**' arithmetic operator to do exponentiation.
-
-j. There are new configuration options to control how bash is linked:

- `--enable-static-link', to allow bash to be linked statically.
-
-k. There is a new configuration option, `--enable-cond-command', which
- controls whether or not the `[[' command is included. It is on by
- default.
-
-l. There is a new configuration option, `--enable-extended-glob', which
- controls whether or not the ksh extended globbing feature is included.
- It is enabled by default.
-
-m. There is a new configuration #define in config.h.top that, when enabled,
- will cause all login shells to source /etc/profile and one of the user-
- specific login shell startup files, whether or not the shell is
- interactive.
-
-n. There is a new invocation option, `--dump-po-strings', to dump
- a shell script's translatable strings ($"...") in GNU `po' format.
-
-o. There is a new `shopt' option, `nocaseglob', to enable case-insensitive
- pattern matching when globbing filenames and using the `case' construct.
-
-p. 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.

- 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

-
-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.
-
-4. 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).
-

- 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.

-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-1. Changes to Bash
-
-a. The `ulimit' builtin translates RLIM_INFINITY to the hard limit only if
- the current (soft) limit is less than or equal to the hard limit.
-
-b. Fixed a bug that caused the bash emulation of strcasecmp to produce
- incorrect results.
-
-c. A bug that caused memory to be freed twice when a trap handler resets
- the trap more than once was fixed.
-
-d. A bug that caused machines where sizeof (pointer) > sizeof (int) to
- fail (and possibly dump core) when trying to unwind-protect a null
- pointer was fixed.
-
-e. The startup files should not be run with job control enabled. This fix
- allows SIGINT to once again interrupt startup file execution.
-

- shell options when editing and re-executing a series of commands were
- fixed.
-
-l. A fix was made to the grammar -- the list of commands between `do' and

- while loop.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. A couple of bugs that caused the history search functions to attempt to
- free a NULL pointer were fixed.
-
-b. If the C library provides setlocale(3), readline does not need to look
- at various environment variables to decide whether or not to go into
- eight-bit mode automatically -- just check whether the current locale
- is not `C' or `POSIX'.
-
-c. If the filename completion function finds that a directory was not closed
- by a previous (interrupted) completion, it closes the directory with
- closedir().
-
-3. New Features in Bash

-a. New bindable readline commands: history-and-alias-expand-line and
- alias-expand-line. The code was always in there, there was just no
- way to execute it.

- /dev/tty.
-
-k. The output of `set' and `export' is once again sorted, as POSIX wants.
-
-l. Fixed a problem caused by a recursive call reparsing the value of
- $SHELLOPTS.
-
-m. The tilde code no longer calls getenv() when it's compiled as part of
- the shell, which should eliminate problems on systems that cannot
- redefine getenv(), like the NeXT OS.
-
-n. Fixed a problem that caused `bash -o' or `bash +o' to not list all
- the shell options.
-
-o. Fixed `ulimit' to convert RLIM_INFINITY to the appropriate hard limit
- only if the hard limit is greater than the current (soft) limit.
-
-p. Fixed a problem that arose when building bash in a different directory
- than the source and y.tab.[ch] were remade with something other than
- bison. This came up most often on NetBSD.
-
-q. Fixed a problem with completion -- it thought that `pwd`/[TAB] indicated
- an unfinished command completion (`/), which generated errors.
-
-r. The bash special tilde expansions (~-, ~+) are now attempted before
- calling the standard tilde expansion code, which should eliminate the
- problems people have been seeing with this on Solaris 2.5.1.
-
-s. Added support for <stdarg.h> to places where it was missing.
-
-t. Changed the code that reads the output of a command substitution to not
- go through stdio. This reduces the memory requirements and is faster.
-
-u. A number of changes to speed up export environment creation were made.
-
-v. A number of memory leaks were fixed as the result of running the test
- scripts through Purify.
-
-w. Fixed a bug that caused subshells forked to interpret executable
- scripts without a leading `#!' to not reinitialize the values of
- the shell options.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. 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.
-

- various Unix versions.
-
-p. The bash completion code now quotes characters that readline would
- treat as word breaks for completion but are not shell metacharacters.

- displayed.
-
-r. Fixes were made to the code that handles DEBUG traps so that the trap
- string is not freed inappropriately.

- should be closer to working now.
-
-t. A problem that caused the default filename used for mail checking to be
- wrong was fixed.
-
-u. 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

- and `shift' on the same set of positional parameters was fixed.
-

-
-ll. The command printing code now handles here documents better when there
- are other redirections associated with the command.
-

- 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.
-

- in new-style $(...) command substitutions to be inappropriately expanded
- was fixed.
-
-rr. A bug in the readline hook shell-expand-line that could cause memory to
- be inappropriately freed was fixed.
-
-ss. A bug that caused some arithmetic expressions containing `&&' and `||'
- to be parsed with the wrong precedence has been fixed.
-
-tt. References to unbound variables after `set -u' has been executed now
- cause the shell to exit immediately, as they should.
-
-uu. A bug that caused the shell to exit inappropriately when `set -e' had
- been executed and a command's return status was being inverted with the
- `!' reserved word was fixed.
-
-vv. A bug that could occasionally cause the shell to crash with a
- divide-by-zero error when timing a command was fixed.
-
-ww. A bug that caused parameter pattern substitution to leave stray
- backslashes in the replacement string when the expression is in
- double quotes was fixed.
-
-xx. The `break' and `continue' builtins now break out of all loops when an
- invalid count argument is supplied.
-
-yy. Fixed a bug that caused PATH to be set to the empty string if

- as POSIX specifies.
-
-aaa. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to crash while setting $SHELLOPTS
- if there were no shell options set.

- 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. The `dump-variables' and `dump-macros' commands now output a leading
- newline if they're called as the result of a key sequence, rather
- than directly by an application.
-
-3. 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.

-
-a. Fix to the `getopts' builtin so that it does the right thing when a
- required option argument is not present.
-

-
-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. Fixed a bug that caused executable scripts without a leading `#!' to
- occasionally pick up the wrong set of positional parameters.
-
-i. Linux systems now have a working `ulimit -v', using RLIMIT_AS.
-
-j. Updated config.guess so that many more machine types are recognized.
-
-k. Fixed a bug with backslash-quoted slashes in the ${param/pat[/sub]}
- expansion.
-
-l. If the shell is named `-su', and `-c command' is supplied, read and
- execute the login shell startup files even though the shell is not
- interactive. This is to support the `-' option to `su'.
-
-m. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps when the DEBUG trap was ignored
- with `trap "" DEBUG' and a shell function was subsequently executed.
-
-n. Fixed a bug that caused core dumps in the read builtin when IFS was
- set to the null string and the input had leading whitespace.
-
-2. Changes to Readline
-
-a. Fixed a bug that caused a numeric argument of 1024 to be ignored when
- inserting text.
-
-b. Fixed the display code so that the numeric argument is displayed as it's
- being entered.
-
-c. Fixed the numeric argument reading code so that `M-- command' is
- equivalent to `M--1 command', as the prompt implies.
-
-3. 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. A fix was made to the job control initialization code so that the
- terminal process group is set to the shell's process group if the
- shell changes its own process group.
-
-2. 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. Support for locale-specific sorting of completion possibilities if
- strcoll() is available.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This document details the changes between this version, bash-2.0-beta2,
-and the previous version, bash-2.0-beta1.
-
-1. 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. The `cd' builtin no longer attempts spelling correction on the directory
- name if the shell is not interactive, regardless of the setting of the
- `cdspell' option.
-
-bb. 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. A bug encountered when expand-tilde was enabled and file completion was
- attempted on a word beginning with `~/' was fixed.
-
-c. A slight change was made to the incremental search termination behavior.
- ESC still terminates the search, but if input is pending or arrives
- within 0.1 seconds (on systems with select(2)), it is used as a prefix
- character. This is intented to allow users to terminate searches with
- the arrow keys and get the behavior they expect.

-redir.c
- - redirection_expand, write_here_string, write_here_document: before
- calling any of the word expansion functions, after setting
- expanding_redir to 1 (which bypasses the temp environment in the
- variable lookup functions), call sv_ifs to reset the cached IFS-
- related variables set by subst.c:setifs(). This ensures that
- redirections will not get any IFS values that are set in the
- temporary environment, as Posix specifies. Then, after the word
- expansions, after resetting expanding_redir to 0, call sv_ifs
- again to make sure the cached IFS values are set from any
- assignments in the temporary environment. We force executing_builtin
- to 1 to `fool' the variable lookup functions into using any temp
- environment, then reset it to its old value after sv_ifs returns.

+++ /dev/null
-Starting bash with the `--posix' command-line option or executing
-`set -o posix' while bash is running will cause bash to conform more
-closely to the Posix.2 standard by changing the behavior to match that
-specified by Posix.2 in areas where the bash default differs.
-
-The following list is what's changed when `posix mode' is in effect:
-
-1. When a command in the hash table no longer exists, bash will re-search
- $PATH to find the new location. This is also available with
- `shopt -s checkhash'.
-
-2. The >& redirection does not redirect stdout and stderr.
-
-3. The message printed by the job control code and builtins when a job
- exits with a non-zero status is `Done(status)'.
-
-4. Reserved words may not be aliased.
-
-5. The Posix.2 PS1 and PS2 expansions of `!' -> history number and
- `!!' -> `!' are enabled, and parameter expansion is performed on
- the value regardless of the setting of the `promptvars' option.
-
-6. Interactive comments are enabled by default. (Note that bash has
- them on by default anyway.)
-
-7. The Posix.2 startup files are executed ($ENV) rather than the normal
- bash files.
-
-8. Tilde expansion is only performed on assignments preceding a command
- name, rather than on all assignment statements on the line.
-
-9. The default history file is ~/.sh_history (default value of $HISTFILE).
-
-10. The output of `kill -l' prints all the signal names on a single line,
- separated by spaces.
-
-11. Non-interactive shells exit if `file' in `. file' is not found.
-
-12. Redirection operators do not perform pathname expansion on the word
- in the redirection unless the shell is interactive
-
-13. Function names must be valid shell identifiers. That is, they may not
- contain characters other than letters, digits, and underscores, and
- may not start with a digit. Declaring a function with an illegal name
- causes a fatal syntax error in non-interactive shells.
-
-14. Posix.2 `special' builtins are found before shell functions during command
- lookup.
-
-15. If a Posix.2 special builtin returns an error status, a non-interactive
- shell exits. The fatal errors are those listed in the POSIX.2 standard,
- and include things like passing incorrect options, redirection errors,
- variable assignment errors for assignments preceding the command name,
- and so on.
-
-16. The environment passed to executed commands is not sorted. Neither is
- the output of `set'. This is not strictly Posix.2 behavior, but sh
- does it this way. Ksh does not. It's not necessary to sort the
- environment; no program should rely on it being sorted.
-
-17. If the `cd' builtin finds a directory to change to using $CDPATH, the
- value it assigns to $PWD does not contain any symbolic links, as if
- `cd -P' had been executed.
-
-18. A non-interactive shell exits with an error status if a variable
- assignment error occurs when no command name follows the assignment
- statements. A variable assignment error occurs, for example, when
- trying to assign a value to a read-only variable.
-
-19. A non-interactive shell exits with an error status if the iteration
- variable in a for statement or the selection variable in a select
- statement is a read-only variable.
-
-20. Process substitution is not available.
-
-21. Assignment statements preceding POSIX.2 `special' builtins persist in
- the shell environment after the builtin completes.
-
-There is other Posix.2 behavior that bash does not implement. Specifically:
-
-1. Assignment statements affect the execution environment of all builtins,
- not just special ones.

-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.3 since
-the release of bash-4.2. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash
-
-a. The `helptopic' completion action now maps to all the help topics, not just
- the shell builtins.
-
-b. The `help' builtin no longer does prefix substring matching, 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}<word redirection feature now allows words like {array[ind]} and
- can use variables with special meanings to the shell (e.g., BASH_XTRACEFD).
-
-z. There is a new CHILD_MAX special shell variable; its value controls the
- number of exited child statues the shell remembers.
-
-aa. There is a new configuration option (--enable-direxpand-default) that
- causes the `direxpand' shell option to be enabled by default.
-
-bb. Bash does not do anything special to ensure that the file descriptor
- assigned to X in {x}<foo remains open after the block containing it
- completes.
-
-cc. The `wait' builtin has a new `-n' option to wait for the next child to
- change status.
-
-dd. The `printf' %(...)T format specifier now uses the current time if no
- argument is supplied.
-
-ee. There is a new variable, BASH_COMPAT, that controls the current shell
- compatibility level.
-
-ff. The `popd' builtin now treats additional arguments as errors.
-
-gg. The brace expansion code now treats a failed sequence expansion as a
- simple string and will continue to expand brace terms in the remainder
- of the word.
-
-hh. Shells started to run process substitutions now run any trap set on EXIT.
-
-ii. The help builtin now attempts substring matching (as it did through
- bash-4.2) if exact string matching fails.
-
-jj. The fc builtin now interprets -0 as the current command line.
-
-kk. Completing directory names containing shell variables now adds a trailing
- slash if the expanded result is a directory.
-
-2. New Features in Readline
-
-a. Readline is now more responsive to SIGHUP and other fatal signals when
- reading input from the terminal or performing word completion but no
- longer attempts to run any not-allowable functions from a signal handler
- context.
-
-b. There are new bindable commands to search the history for the string of
- characters between the beginning of the line and the point
- (history-substring-search-forward, history-substring-search-backward)
-
-c. Readline allows quoted strings as the values of variables when setting
- them with `set'. As a side effect, trailing spaces and tabs are ignored
- when setting a string variable's value.
-
-d. The history library creates a backup of the history file when writing it
- and restores the backup on a write error.
-
-e. New application-settable variable: rl_filename_stat_hook: a function called
- with a filename before using it in a call to stat(2). Bash uses it to
- expand shell variables so things like $HOME/Downloads have a slash
- appended.
-
-f. New bindable function `print-last-kbd-macro', prints the most-recently-
- defined keyboard macro in a reusable format.
-
-g. New user-settable variable `colored-stats', enables use of colored text
- to denote file types when displaying possible completions (colored analog
- of visible-stats).
-
-h. New user-settable variable `keyseq-timout', acts as an inter-character
- timeout when reading input or incremental search strings.
-
-i. New application-callable function: rl_clear_history. Clears the history list
- and frees all readline-associated private data.
-
-j. New user-settable variable, show-mode-in-prompt, adds a characters to the
- beginning of the prompt indicating the current editing mode.
-
-k. New application-settable variable: rl_input_available_hook; function to be
- called when readline detects there is data available on its input file
- descriptor.
-
-l. Readline calls an application-set event hook (rl_event_hook) after it gets
- a signal while reading input (read returns -1/EINTR but readline does not
- handle the signal immediately) to allow the application to handle or
- otherwise note it.
-
-m. If the user-settable variable `history-size' is set to a value less than
- 0, the history list size is unlimited.
-
-n. New application-settable variable: rl_signal_event_hook; function that is
- called when readline is reading terminal input and read(2) is interrupted
- by a signal. Currently not called for SIGHUP or SIGTERM.
-
-o. rl_change_environment: new application-settable variable that controls
- whether or not Readline modifies the environment (currently readline
- modifies only LINES and COLUMNS).
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.2 since
-the release of bash-4.1. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash
-
-a. `exec -a foo' now sets $0 to `foo' in an executable shell script without a
- leading #!.
-
-b. Subshells begun to execute command substitutions or run shell functions or
- builtins in subshells do not reset trap strings until a new trap is
- specified. This allows $(trap) to display the caller's traps and the
- trap strings to persist until a new trap is set.
-
-c. `trap -p' will now show signals ignored at shell startup, though their
- disposition still cannot be modified.
-
-d. $'...', echo, and printf understand \uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX escape sequences.
-
-e. declare/typeset has a new `-g' option, which creates variables in the
- global scope even when run in a shell function.
-
-f. test/[/[[ have a new -v variable unary operator, which returns success if
- `variable' has been set.
-
-g. Posix parsing changes to allow `! time command' and multiple consecutive
- instances of `!' (which toggle) and `time' (which have no cumulative
- effect).
-
-h. Posix change to allow `time' as a command by itself to print the elapsed
- user, system, and real times for the shell and its children.
-
-j. $((...)) is always parsed as an arithmetic expansion first, instead of as
- a potential nested command substitution, as Posix requires.
-
-k. A new FUNCNEST variable to allow the user to control the maximum shell
- function nesting (recursive execution) level.
-
-l. The mapfile builtin now supplies a third argument to the callback command:
- the line about to be assigned to the supplied array index.
-
-m. The printf builtin has a new %(fmt)T specifier, which allows time values
- to use strftime-like formatting.
-
-n. There is a new `compat41' shell option.
-
-o. The cd builtin has a new Posix-mandated `-e' option.
-
-p. Negative subscripts to indexed arrays, previously errors, now are treated
- as offsets from the maximum assigned index + 1.
-
-q. Negative length specifications in the ${var:offset:length} expansion,
- previously errors, are now treated as offsets from the end of the variable.
-
-r. Parsing change to allow `time -p --'.
-
-s. Posix-mode parsing change to not recognize `time' as a keyword if the
- following token begins with a `-'. This means no more Posix-mode
- `time -p'. Posix interpretation 267.
-
-t. There is a new `lastpipe' shell option that runs the last command of a
- pipeline in the current shell context. The lastpipe option has no
- effect if job control is enabled.
-
-u. History expansion no longer expands the `$!' variable expansion.
-
-v. Posix mode shells no longer exit if a variable assignment error occurs
- with an assignment preceding a command that is not a special builtin.
-
-w. Non-interactive mode shells exit if -u is enabled and an attempt is made
- to use an unset variable with the % or # expansions, the `//', `^', or
- `,' expansions, or the parameter length expansion.
-
-x. Posix-mode shells use the argument passed to `.' as-is if a $PATH search
- fails, effectively searching the current directory. Posix-2008 change.
-
-2. New Features in Readline
-
-a. The history library does not try to write the history filename in the
- current directory if $HOME is unset. This closes a potential security
- problem if the application does not specify a history filename.
-
-b. New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of
- columns used when displaying completions.
-
-c. New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive
- completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical.
-
-d. There are new bindable vi-mode command names to avoid readline's case-
- insensitive matching not allowing them to be bound separately.
-
-e. New bindable variable `menu-complete-display-prefix' causes the menu
- completion code to display the common prefix of the possible completions
- before cycling through the list, instead of after.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.1 since
-the release of bash-4.0. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. 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 (( commands are now subject to the setting of `set -e' and the
- ERR trap.
-
-k. The source/. builtin now removes NUL bytes from the file before attempting
- to parse commands.
-
-l. There is a new configuration option (in config-top.h) that forces bash to
- forward all history entries to syslog.
-
-m. A new variable $BASHOPTS to export shell options settable using `shopt' to
- child processes.
-
-n. There is a new confgure option that forces the extglob option to be
- enabled by default.
-
-o. New variable $BASH_XTRACEFD; when set to an integer bash will write xtrace
- output to that file descriptor.
-
-p. If the optional left-hand-side of a redirection is of the form {var}, the
- shell assigns the file descriptor used to $var or uses $var as the file
- descriptor to move or close, depending on the redirection operator.
-
-q. The < and > 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

- 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. 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.
-
-cc. There is now support for placing the long help text into separate files
- installed into ${datadir}/bash. Not enabled by default; can be turned
- on with `--enable-separate-helpfiles' option to configure.
-
-dd. All builtins that take operands accept a `--' pseudo-option, except
- `echo'.
-
-ee. The `echo' builtin now accepts \0xxx (zero to three octal digits following
- the `0') in addition to \xxx (one to three octal digits) for SUSv3/XPG6/
- POSIX.1-2001 compliance.
-
-
-2. 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. Added support for DESTDIR installation root prefix, so you can do a
- `make install DESTDIR=bash-root' and do easier binary packaging.
-
-b. Added support for builtin printf "'" flag character as per latest POSIX
- drafts.
-
-c. Support for POSIX.2 printf(1) length specifiers `j', `t', and `z' (from
- ISO C99).
-
-d. New autoconf macro, RL_LIB_READLINE_VERSION, for use by other applications
- (bash doesn't use very much of what it returns).
-
-e. `set [-+]o nolog' is recognized as required by the latest POSIX drafts,
- but ignored.
-
-f. New read-only `shopt' option: login_shell. Set to non-zero value if the
- shell is a login shell.
-
-g. New `\A' prompt string escape sequence; expands to time in 24 HH:MM format.
-
-h. New `-A group/-g' option to complete and compgen; does group name
- completion.
-
-i. New `-t' option to `hash' to list hash values for each filename argument.
-
-j. 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. New #defines in readline.h: RL_READLINE_VERSION, currently 0x0402,
- RL_VERSION_MAJOR, currently 4, and RL_VERSION_MINOR, currently 2.
-
-c. New readline variable: rl_readline_version, mirrors RL_READLINE_VERSION.
-
-d. New bindable boolean readline variable: match-hidden-files. Controls
- completion of files beginning with a `.' (on Unix). Enabled by default.
-
-e. The history expansion code now allows any character to terminate a
- `:first-' modifier, like csh.
-
-f. New bindable variable `history-preserve-point'. If set, the history
- code attempts to place the user at the same location on each history
- line retrived with previous-history or next-history.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.05 since
-the release of bash-2.04. 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. Readline has a new variable, rl_readline_state, which is a bitmap that
- encapsulates the current state of the library; intended for use by
- callbacks and hook functions.
-
-d. New application-callable function rl_set_prompt(const char *prompt):
- expands its prompt string argument and sets rl_prompt to the result.
-
-e. New application-callable function rl_set_screen_size(int rows, int cols):
- public method for applications to set readline's idea of the screen
- dimensions.
-
-f. New function, rl_get_screen_size (int *rows, int *columns), returns
- readline's idea of the screen dimensions.
-
-g. 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. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash
-
-a. The history builtin has a `-d offset' option to delete the history entry
- at position `offset'.

- active jobs; and \l, the basename of the shell's tty device name.
-
-c. The `bind' builtin has a new `-x' option to bind key sequences to shell
- commands.
-
-d. There is a new shell option, no_empty_command_completion, which, when
- enabled, disables command completion when TAB is typed on an empty line.
-
-e. The `help' builtin has a `-s' option to just print a builtin's usage
- synopsis.
-
-f. There are several new arithmetic operators: id++, id-- (variable
- post-increment/decrement), ++id, --id (variable pre-increment/decrement),
- expr1 , expr2 (comma operator).
-
-g. 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. Unsetting HOSTFILE now clears the list of hostnames used for completion.
-
-r. configure has a new option, `--enable-bash-malloc', replacing the old
- `--with-gnu-malloc' (which is still present for backwards compatibility).
-
-s. There is a new manual page describing rbash, the restricted shell.
-
-t. `bashbug' has new `--help' and `--version' options.
-
-u. `shopt' has a new `xpg_echo' option, which controls the behavior of
- `echo' with respect to backslash-escaped characters at runtime.
-
-v. 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. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash
-
-a. New `shopt' option, `restricted_shell', indicating whether or not the
- shell was started in restricted mode, for use in startup files.
-
-b. Filename generation is now performed on the words between ( and ) in
- array assignments (which it probably should have done all along).
-
-c. 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. These were
- previously private functions with a `_' prefix.
-
-d. New function hook: rl_pre_input_hook, called just before readline starts
- reading input, after initialization.
-
-e. New function hook: rl_display_matches_hook, called when readline would
- display the list of completion matches. The new function
- rl_display_match_list is what readline uses internally, and is available
- for use by application functions called via this hook.
-
-f. New bindable function, delete-char-or-list, like tcsh.
-
-g. A new variable, rl_erase_empty_line, which, if set by an application using
- readline, will cause readline to erase, prompt and all, lines on which the
- only thing typed was a newline.
-
-h. New bindable variable: `isearch-terminators'.
-
-i. New bindable function: `forward-backward-delete-char' (unbound by default).
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.02 since
-the release of bash-2.01.1. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash

-a. A new version of malloc, based on the older GNU malloc, that has many
- changes, is more page-based, is more conservative with memory usage,
- and does not `orphan' large blocks when they are freed.
-
-b. A new version of gmalloc, based on the old GLIBC malloc, with many
- changes and range checking included by default.
-
-c. A new implementation of fnmatch(3) that includes full POSIX.2 Basic
- Regular Expression matching, including character classes, collating
- symbols, equivalence classes, and support for case-insensitive pattern
- matching.

- extended `test' functionality.
-
-f. There is a new `printf' builtin, implemented according to the POSIX.2

- directory stack.
-
-i. There is a new `**' arithmetic operator to do exponentiation.
-

- `--enable-static-link', to allow bash to be linked statically.
-
-k. There is a new configuration option, `--enable-cond-command', which
- controls whether or not the `[[' command is included. It is on by
- default.
-
-l. There is a new configuration option, `--enable-extended-glob', which
- controls whether or not the ksh extended globbing feature is included.
- It is enabled by default.
-
-m. There is a new configuration #define in config.h.top that, when enabled,
- will cause all login shells to source /etc/profile and one of the user-
- specific login shell startup files, whether or not the shell is
- interactive.

-n. There is a new invocation option, `--dump-po-strings', to dump
- a shell script's translatable strings ($"...") in GNU `po' format.
-
-o. There is a new `shopt' option, `nocaseglob', to enable case-insensitive
- pattern matching when globbing filenames and using the `case' construct.
-
-p. 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

- 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

-
-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.

- 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.

-
-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.).
-

-
-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.
-

- 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.

-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.3 since
-the release of bash-4.2. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash
-
-a. The `helptopic' completion action now maps to all the help topics, not just
- the shell builtins.
-
-b. The `help' builtin no longer does prefix substring matching, 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}<word redirection feature now allows words like {array[ind]} and
- can use variables with special meanings to the shell (e.g., BASH_XTRACEFD).
-
-z. There is a new CHILD_MAX special shell variable; its value controls the
- number of exited child statues the shell remembers.
-
-aa. There is a new configuration option (--enable-direxpand-default) that
- causes the `direxpand' shell option to be enabled by default.
-
-bb. Bash does not do anything special to ensure that the file descriptor
- assigned to X in {x}<foo remains open after the block containing it
- completes.
-
-cc. The `wait' builtin has a new `-n' option to wait for the next child to
- change status.
-
-dd. The `printf' %(...)T format specifier now uses the current time if no
- argument is supplied.
-
-ee. There is a new variable, BASH_COMPAT, that controls the current shell
- compatibility level.
-
-ff. The `popd' builtin now treats additional arguments as errors.
-
-gg. The brace expansion code now treats a failed sequence expansion as a
- simple string and will continue to expand brace terms in the remainder
- of the word.
-
-hh. Shells started to run process substitutions now run any trap set on EXIT.
-
-2. New Features in Readline
-
-a. Readline is now more responsive to SIGHUP and other fatal signals when
- reading input from the terminal or performing word completion but no
- longer attempts to run any not-allowable functions from a signal handler
- context.
-
-b. There are new bindable commands to search the history for the string of
- characters between the beginning of the line and the point
- (history-substring-search-forward, history-substring-search-backward)
-
-c. Readline allows quoted strings as the values of variables when setting
- them with `set'. As a side effect, trailing spaces and tabs are ignored
- when setting a string variable's value.
-
-d. The history library creates a backup of the history file when writing it
- and restores the backup on a write error.
-
-e. New application-settable variable: rl_filename_stat_hook: a function called
- with a filename before using it in a call to stat(2). Bash uses it to
- expand shell variables so things like $HOME/Downloads have a slash
- appended.
-
-f. New bindable function `print-last-kbd-macro', prints the most-recently-
- defined keyboard macro in a reusable format.
-
-g. New user-settable variable `colored-stats', enables use of colored text
- to denote file types when displaying possible completions (colored analog
- of visible-stats).
-
-h. New user-settable variable `keyseq-timout', acts as an inter-character
- timeout when reading input or incremental search strings.
-
-i. New application-callable function: rl_clear_history. Clears the history list
- and frees all readline-associated private data.
-
-j. New user-settable variable, show-mode-in-prompt, adds a characters to the
- beginning of the prompt indicating the current editing mode.
-
-k. New application-settable variable: rl_input_available_hook; function to be
- called when readline detects there is data available on its input file
- descriptor.
-
-l. Readline calls an application-set event hook (rl_event_hook) after it gets
- a signal while reading input (read returns -1/EINTR but readline does not
- handle the signal immediately) to allow the application to handle or
- otherwise note it.
-
-m. If the user-settable variable `history-size' is set to a value less than
- 0, the history list size is unlimited.
-
-n. New application-settable variable: rl_signal_event_hook; function that is
- called when readline is reading terminal input and read(2) is interrupted
- by a signal. Currently not called for SIGHUP or SIGTERM.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.2 since
-the release of bash-4.1. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash
-
-a. `exec -a foo' now sets $0 to `foo' in an executable shell script without a
- leading #!.
-
-b. Subshells begun to execute command substitutions or run shell functions or
- builtins in subshells do not reset trap strings until a new trap is
- specified. This allows $(trap) to display the caller's traps and the
- trap strings to persist until a new trap is set.
-
-c. `trap -p' will now show signals ignored at shell startup, though their
- disposition still cannot be modified.
-
-d. $'...', echo, and printf understand \uXXXX and \UXXXXXXXX escape sequences.
-
-e. declare/typeset has a new `-g' option, which creates variables in the
- global scope even when run in a shell function.
-
-f. test/[/[[ have a new -v variable unary operator, which returns success if
- `variable' has been set.
-
-g. Posix parsing changes to allow `! time command' and multiple consecutive
- instances of `!' (which toggle) and `time' (which have no cumulative
- effect).
-
-h. Posix change to allow `time' as a command by itself to print the elapsed
- user, system, and real times for the shell and its children.
-
-j. $((...)) is always parsed as an arithmetic expansion first, instead of as
- a potential nested command substitution, as Posix requires.
-
-k. A new FUNCNEST variable to allow the user to control the maximum shell
- function nesting (recursive execution) level.
-
-l. The mapfile builtin now supplies a third argument to the callback command:
- the line about to be assigned to the supplied array index.
-
-m. The printf builtin has a new %(fmt)T specifier, which allows time values
- to use strftime-like formatting.
-
-n. There is a new `compat41' shell option.
-
-o. The cd builtin has a new Posix-mandated `-e' option.
-
-p. Negative subscripts to indexed arrays, previously errors, now are treated
- as offsets from the maximum assigned index + 1.
-
-q. Negative length specifications in the ${var:offset:length} expansion,
- previously errors, are now treated as offsets from the end of the variable.
-
-r. Parsing change to allow `time -p --'.
-
-s. Posix-mode parsing change to not recognize `time' as a keyword if the
- following token begins with a `-'. This means no more Posix-mode
- `time -p'. Posix interpretation 267.
-
-t. There is a new `lastpipe' shell option that runs the last command of a
- pipeline in the current shell context. The lastpipe option has no
- effect if job control is enabled.
-
-u. History expansion no longer expands the `$!' variable expansion.
-
-v. Posix mode shells no longer exit if a variable assignment error occurs
- with an assignment preceding a command that is not a special builtin.
-
-w. Non-interactive mode shells exit if -u is enabled and an attempt is made
- to use an unset variable with the % or # expansions, the `//', `^', or
- `,' expansions, or the parameter length expansion.
-
-x. Posix-mode shells use the argument passed to `.' as-is if a $PATH search
- fails, effectively searching the current directory. Posix-2008 change.
-
-2. New Features in Readline
-
-a. The history library does not try to write the history filename in the
- current directory if $HOME is unset. This closes a potential security
- problem if the application does not specify a history filename.
-
-b. New bindable variable `completion-display-width' to set the number of
- columns used when displaying completions.
-
-c. New bindable variable `completion-case-map' to cause case-insensitive
- completion to treat `-' and `_' as identical.
-
-d. There are new bindable vi-mode command names to avoid readline's case-
- insensitive matching not allowing them to be bound separately.
-
-e. New bindable variable `menu-complete-display-prefix' causes the menu
- completion code to display the common prefix of the possible completions
- before cycling through the list, instead of after.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-4.1 since
-the release of bash-4.0. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. 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 (( commands are now subject to the setting of `set -e' and the
- ERR trap.
-
-k. The source/. builtin now removes NUL bytes from the file before attempting
- to parse commands.
-
-l. There is a new configuration option (in config-top.h) that forces bash to
- forward all history entries to syslog.
-
-m. A new variable $BASHOPTS to export shell options settable using `shopt' to
- child processes.
-
-n. There is a new confgure option that forces the extglob option to be
- enabled by default.
-
-o. New variable $BASH_XTRACEFD; when set to an integer bash will write xtrace
- output to that file descriptor.
-
-p. If the optional left-hand-side of a redirection is of the form {var}, the
- shell assigns the file descriptor used to $var or uses $var as the file
- descriptor to move or close, depending on the redirection operator.
-
-q. The < and > 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. 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.
-
-cc. There is now support for placing the long help text into separate files
- installed into ${datadir}/bash. Not enabled by default; can be turned
- on with `--enable-separate-helpfiles' option to configure.
-
-dd. All builtins that take operands accept a `--' pseudo-option, except
- `echo'.
-
-ee. The `echo' builtin now accepts \0xxx (zero to three octal digits following
- the `0') in addition to \xxx (one to three octal digits) for SUSv3/XPG6/
- POSIX.1-2001 compliance.
-
-
-2. 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. Added support for DESTDIR installation root prefix, so you can do a
- `make install DESTDIR=bash-root' and do easier binary packaging.
-
-b. Added support for builtin printf "'" flag character as per latest POSIX
- drafts.
-
-c. Support for POSIX.2 printf(1) length specifiers `j', `t', and `z' (from
- ISO C99).
-
-d. New autoconf macro, RL_LIB_READLINE_VERSION, for use by other applications
- (bash doesn't use very much of what it returns).
-
-e. `set [-+]o nolog' is recognized as required by the latest POSIX drafts,
- but ignored.
-
-f. New read-only `shopt' option: login_shell. Set to non-zero value if the
- shell is a login shell.
-
-g. New `\A' prompt string escape sequence; expands to time in 24 HH:MM format.
-
-h. New `-A group/-g' option to complete and compgen; does group name
- completion.
-
-i. New `-t' option to `hash' to list hash values for each filename argument.
-
-j. 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. New #defines in readline.h: RL_READLINE_VERSION, currently 0x0402,
- RL_VERSION_MAJOR, currently 4, and RL_VERSION_MINOR, currently 2.
-
-c. New readline variable: rl_readline_version, mirrors RL_READLINE_VERSION.
-
-d. New bindable boolean readline variable: match-hidden-files. Controls
- completion of files beginning with a `.' (on Unix). Enabled by default.
-
-e. The history expansion code now allows any character to terminate a
- `:first-' modifier, like csh.
-
-f. New bindable variable `history-preserve-point'. If set, the history
- code attempts to place the user at the same location on each history
- line retrived with previous-history or next-history.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.05 since
-the release of bash-2.04. 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. Readline has a new variable, rl_readline_state, which is a bitmap that
- encapsulates the current state of the library; intended for use by
- callbacks and hook functions.
-
-d. New application-callable function rl_set_prompt(const char *prompt):
- expands its prompt string argument and sets rl_prompt to the result.
-
-e. New application-callable function rl_set_screen_size(int rows, int cols):
- public method for applications to set readline's idea of the screen
- dimensions.
-
-f. New function, rl_get_screen_size (int *rows, int *columns), returns
- readline's idea of the screen dimensions.
-
-g. 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. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash
-
-a. The history builtin has a `-d offset' option to delete the history entry
- at position `offset'.
-
-b. The prompt expansion code has two new escape sequences: \j, the number of
- active jobs; and \l, the basename of the shell's tty device name.
-
-c. The `bind' builtin has a new `-x' option to bind key sequences to shell
- commands.
-
-d. There is a new shell option, no_empty_command_completion, which, when
- enabled, disables command completion when TAB is typed on an empty line.
-
-e. The `help' builtin has a `-s' option to just print a builtin's usage
- synopsis.
-
-f. There are several new arithmetic operators: id++, id-- (variable
- post-increment/decrement), ++id, --id (variable pre-increment/decrement),
- expr1 , expr2 (comma operator).
-
-g. 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. Unsetting HOSTFILE now clears the list of hostnames used for completion.
-
-r. configure has a new option, `--enable-bash-malloc', replacing the old
- `--with-gnu-malloc' (which is still present for backwards compatibility).
-
-s. There is a new manual page describing rbash, the restricted shell.
-
-t. `bashbug' has new `--help' and `--version' options.
-
-u. `shopt' has a new `xpg_echo' option, which controls the behavior of
- `echo' with respect to backslash-escaped characters at runtime.
-
-v. 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. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash
-
-a. New `shopt' option, `restricted_shell', indicating whether or not the
- shell was started in restricted mode, for use in startup files.
-
-b. Filename generation is now performed on the words between ( and ) in
- array assignments (which it probably should have done all along).
-
-c. 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. These were
- previously private functions with a `_' prefix.
-
-d. New function hook: rl_pre_input_hook, called just before readline starts
- reading input, after initialization.
-
-e. New function hook: rl_display_matches_hook, called when readline would
- display the list of completion matches. The new function
- rl_display_match_list is what readline uses internally, and is available
- for use by application functions called via this hook.
-
-f. New bindable function, delete-char-or-list, like tcsh.
-
-g. A new variable, rl_erase_empty_line, which, if set by an application using
- readline, will cause readline to erase, prompt and all, lines on which the
- only thing typed was a newline.
-
-h. New bindable variable: `isearch-terminators'.
-
-i. New bindable function: `forward-backward-delete-char' (unbound by default).
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-2.02 since
-the release of bash-2.01.1. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
-the place to look for complete descriptions.
-
-1. New Features in Bash

-
-b. A new version of gmalloc, based on the old GLIBC malloc, with many
- changes and range checking included by default.
-
-c. A new implementation of fnmatch(3) that includes full POSIX.2 Basic
- Regular Expression matching, including character classes, collating
- symbols, equivalence classes, and support for case-insensitive pattern

- extended `test' functionality.
-
-f. There is a new `printf' builtin, implemented according to the POSIX.2

- directory stack.
-
-i. There is a new `**' arithmetic operator to do exponentiation.
-

- `--enable-static-link', to allow bash to be linked statically.
-
-k. There is a new configuration option, `--enable-cond-command', which
- controls whether or not the `[[' command is included. It is on by
- default.
-
-l. There is a new configuration option, `--enable-extended-glob', which
- controls whether or not the ksh extended globbing feature is included.
- It is enabled by default.
-
-m. There is a new configuration #define in config.h.top that, when enabled,
- will cause all login shells to source /etc/profile and one of the user-
- specific login shell startup files, whether or not the shell is

- a shell script's translatable strings ($"...") in GNU `po' format.
-
-o. There is a new `shopt' option, `nocaseglob', to enable case-insensitive
- pattern matching when globbing filenames and using the `case' construct.
-
-p. 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

-
-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.
-

-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-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

-
-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.

-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.

- 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.

-
-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.

-
-bbb. There is a new trap, DEBUG, executed after every simple command.
-
-ccc. The `trap' builtin has a new -p option.

-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

- 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

-----------
-Section A: The Basics
-
-A1) What is it?
-
-Bash is a Unix command interpreter (shell). It is an implementation of
-the Posix 1003.2 shell standard, and resembles the Korn and System V
-shells.
-
-Bash contains a number of enhancements over those shells, both
-for interactive use and shell programming. 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. There is a port of bash
-(I don't know which version) to the alpha/NT environment available from
-
-ftp://ftp.gnustep.org//pub/win32/bash-alpha-nt-1.01.tar.gz
-
-DJ Delorie has a port of bash-2.x which runs under MS-DOS, as part
-of the DJGPP project. For more information on the project, see
-
-http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
-
-I have been told that the original DJGPP port was done by Daisuke Aoyama.
-
-Mark Elbrecht <snowball3@bigfoot.com> has sent me notice that bash-2.04
-is available for DJGPP V2. The files are available as:
-
-ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bsh204b.zip binary
-ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bsh204d.zip documentation
-ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bsh204s.zip source
-
-Mark has begun to work with bash-2.05, but I don't know the status.
-
-Ports of bash-1.12 and bash-2.0 are available for OS/2 from
-
-ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/shell/bash_112.zip
-ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/shell/bash-2.0(253).zip
-
-I haven't looked at either, but the second appears to be a binary-only
-distribution. 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. A number of new
-features were added to Readline, mostly at the request of the Cygnus
-folks.
-
-A new shopt option, `restricted_shell', so that startup files can test
- whether or not the shell was started in restricted mode
-Filename generation is now performed on the words between ( and ) in
- compound array assignments (this is really a bug fix)
-OLDPWD is now auto-exported, as POSIX.2 requires
-ENV and BASH_ENV are read-only variables in a restricted shell
-Bash may now be linked against an already-installed Readline library,
- as long as the Readline library is version 4 or newer
-All shells begun with the `--login' option will source the login shell
- startup files, even if the shell is not interactive
-
-There were lots of changes to the version of the Readline library released
-along with Bash-2.03. For a complete list of the changes, read the file
-CHANGES in the Bash-2.03 distribution.
-
-Bash-2.02 contained the following new features:
-
-a new version of malloc (based on the old GNU malloc code in previous
- bash versions) that is more page-oriented, more conservative
- with memory usage, does not `orphan' large blocks when they
- are freed, is usable on 64-bit machines, and has allocation
- checking turned on unconditionally
-POSIX.2-style globbing character classes ([:alpha:], [:alnum:], etc.)
-POSIX.2-style globbing equivalence classes
-POSIX.2-style globbing collating symbols
-the ksh [[...]] extended conditional command
-the ksh egrep-style extended pattern matching operators
-a new `printf' builtin
-the ksh-like $(<filename) command substitution, which is equivalent to
- $(cat filename)
-new tilde prefixes that expand to directories from the directory stack
-new `**' arithmetic operator to do exponentiation
-case-insensitive globbing (filename expansion)
-menu completion a la tcsh
-`magic-space' history expansion function like tcsh
-the readline inputrc `language' has a new file inclusion directive ($include)
-
-Bash-2.01 contained only a few new features:
-
-new `GROUPS' builtin array variable containing the user's group list
-new bindable readline commands: history-and-alias-expand-line and
- alias-expand-line
-
-Bash-2.0 contained extensive changes and new features from bash-1.14.7.
-Here's a short list:
-
-new `time' reserved word to time pipelines, shell builtins, and
- shell functions
-one-dimensional arrays with a new compound assignment statement,

- sh allows only a single option argument (`sh -x -v' attempts
- to open a file named `-v', and, on SunOS 4.1.4, dumps core.
- On Solaris 2.4 and earlier versions, sh goes into an infinite
- loop.)
- sh exits a script if any builtin fails; bash exits only if one of
- the POSIX.2 `special' builtins fails

- co-processes (|&, >&p, <&p)
- weirdly-scoped functions
- typeset +f to list all function names without definitions
- text of command history kept in a file, not memory
- builtins: alias -x, cd old new, fc -e -, newgrp, print,
- read -p/-s/var?prompt, set -A/-o gmacs/

-
-Implementation differences:
- ksh runs last command of a pipeline in parent shell context

- emacs-mode editing has some slightly different key bindings
-

-
-Section D: Why does bash do some things differently than other Unix shells?
-
-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. Never make predictions.
