regression introduced in mksh R37 (sorry, no regression test possible)\r\n * Properly mark need-ctty regression tests\r\n * MKSH_NO_EXTERNAL_CAT \u2013 Quell the external cat(1) calls magic\r\n * Yes, \u201cecho\u201d is not portable, document\r\n * Improve content and look of the manual page\r\n * Move /etc/{,suid_}profile to /system/etc/ on Android\r\n * Prevent more compiler warnings; catch build errors earlier\r\n\r\n\r\nmksh R40 is a major everything release:\r\n\r\n * Correct small mistakes in manpage and build script\r\n * Port to Haiku (and probably, implicitly, BeOS; this is not tested though)\r\n * Add Haiku specific RLIMIT_NOVMON as \u2018V\u2019 to ulimit builtin\r\n * Let Build.sh cope with dirname(1) unavailability\r\n * In the Emacs editing mode, hi-bit7 octets are now considered \u201cmotion characters\u201d for word boundaries \u2013 Esc+b, Esc+f, ^W, \u2026\r\n * Make EXECSHELL default configurable at compile time (embedded)\r\n * If MKSH_SMALL do not compile in \u201cset -o bgnice\u201d by default\r\n * Rework how RLIMIT_{AS,RSS,VMEM} map to \u2018m\u2019 and \u2018v\u2019 ulimits\r\n * Add some more OS specific limits seen in zsh\r\n * SUSv4 ${v=a\\ b} and \"${v=a\\ b}\" and ${v-a\\ b} compliance, tests\r\n * Make \"~/.mkshrc\" path configurable at compile time (embedded)\r\n * Fix SUNWcc 12.1 error message scan in build phase=u\r\n * Fix variable assignment scope during command execution (expansion vs. assignment execution environment);

Debian #581867\r\n * Simplify some code; RCSID and comment sync with OpenBSD ksh\r\n * Apply diff from manuel giraud to keep track of LINENO in a trap\r\n * Remove arc4random(3) functionality; seed an LCG depending on the OS doing Address Space Layout Randomisation; speed up (we will use either arc4random_pushb_fast(3) if it exists or arc4random_pushb(3) if forced by the user with -DMKSH_A4PB e.g. on Cygwin)\r\n * Fix spelling mistakes in dot.mkshrc\r\n * Implement \u201clive\u201d window resize for the Emacs editing mode\r\n * More fixes for bugs found by Valgrind and LLVM+Clang scan-build\r\n * For script compatibility support \u201cset \u00b1o arc4random\u201d during a transition period until R40 is out (but issue a warning to stderr)\r\n * Add (, ), (( to reserved words in the manual page and fix some formatting errors with GNU groff\u2019s mdoc\r\n * Make printf.c.1.15 use mksh\u2019s shf_* routines instead of stdio\r\n * Fix -Wc++-compat except implicit casts from/to \"void *\"\r\n * Correct shf buffer I/O routines to avoid a memory corruption bug discovered by Waldemar Brodkorb and other bad effects\r\n * Fix NULL pointer dereference during iteration loop when checking for alias recursion; discovered by Michal Hlavinka\r\n * More int \u2192 bool conversion, whitespace and general code cleanup\r\n * Fix window size not being checked during runtime of external programmes by not relying on SIGWINCH so much but instead checking before every interactive editing of a command line\r\n * Improve mksh(1) manpage coverage, remove mentions of not-mksh\r\n * Use wcwidth() from system on MirBSD\r\n * u_int32_t is no longer needed (only for OpenBSD\u2019s pre-ISO-C99 arc4random API, which we no longer call), so don\u2019t provide it from Build.sh any longer\r\n * Scan for uint8_t and provide if not found\r\n * Fix realpath builtin for \u201c/file/\u201d arguments wrt. POSIX\r\n * Do not generate <stdint.h> from Build.sh as file any more if it is missing; rather let sh.h define the types appropriately and fix related compiler warnings\r\n * Add \u201ccat\u201d builtin (defers to external if options are given)\r\n * Reduce size by improved string pooling, improving struct packing, lowering size of some allocation chunks, and better code\r\n * Document \u300cx=$(eval $(cat)) <<'EOF'\u300d workaround for the $(\u2026) parsing bug in the mksh(1) manual page and on the Red Hat Bugzilla\r\n * Add support for handling a \u201c--\u201d argument to more builtins\r\n * Correct some error messages and typos\r\n * Don\u2019t alias stop, suspend on Android (system specific conflict for stop; suspend just joined the boat)\r\n * Address what few concerns Chris Palmer (Android security team) had: check all multiplications and some additions for integer overflows, mostly in allocation context, and check setres{u,g}id/setuid for EAGAIN iff the target OS is known to be returning it (Linux only, right now)\r\n * Some small manpage fixes\r\n * Clean up mirtoconf and build warnings with some compilers\r\n * Fix \\c? vs. \\c~ mis-documentation in mksh(1)\r\n * Remove the somewhat-portable setmode.c from the mksh source distribution and demote mknod(8) to an optional builtin, disabled by default, manually re-enabled in the installer only on MirBSD\r\n * Regenerate wcwidth table from Unicode 6.0.0\r\n * Change behaviour of argument-less exit in traps to match SUSv4, original patch from Jonathan Nieder (Debian Closes: #599484)\r\n * dot.mkshrc no longer exports $PS1, as recommended by Frank Terbeck, to avoid confusing other shells\r\n * The character width table is now in sync with Unicode 6.0.0\r\n * MKSH_SMALL doesn\u2019t imply HAVE_REVOKE=0 any longer\r\n * Ignore a \u2018$\u2019 preceding \u2018\"\u2026\"\u2019 (like bash, ksh93)\r\n * Make \u201cfoo=<<EOF\u201d a direct assignment of here document (or here string) to string variable\r\n * Add KSHEGID, KSHGID, KSHUID variables (idea from Richard K.)\r\n * Option -d to read specifies a delimiter, like ksh93 (10x dgk)\r\n * Extension ${foo@#} expands to hash of $foo (mksh specific)\r\n * Emacs prev-hist-word resets the counter if other editing commands were run in between; repeat calling works, even together with arguments, now; arguments are 0-based (Debian Closes: #603801)\r\n * Introduce MKSH_NOPROSPECTOFWORK which implies MKSH_UNEMPLOYED and additionally disables job signals, |&, sigprocmask(2), etc.\r\n * POSIX: trap 'echo foo' UNKNOWN is not a syntax error\r\n * Do not use <sys/file.h> unless it exists\r\n * dot.mkshrc: When we set a UTF-8 locale (e.g. for the GNU OS), we must also set -o utf8-mode to match it\r\n * Don\u2019t append a space after tab-completing a parameter substitution that doesn\u2019t contain a glob/extglob (LP: #710539)\r\n * Limit history file size to 1 GiB for sanity\r\n * Add smores, a more(1)-like pager, as shell function to dot.mkshrc (not control character safe but tty aware)\r\n * Make builtins directly callable; utf8-mode is determined by LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG environment variables in that case\r\n * If the interactive shell uses setlocale(3)/nl_langinfo(3) to divine utf8-mode, fall back to environment variables unless success\r\n * From a direct builtin call, echo(1) behaves POSIXish\r\n * Replace some MirBSD utilities with links to mksh(1) and ensure some integration to keep compatibility\r\n * Add a microsecond capable sleep(1) builtin [updated 20110213]\r\n * If the built-in cat is invoked from a direct builtin call, it now properly handles the POSIXly demanded \u2018-u\u2019 option (as a no-op)\r\n * Support the PIPESTATUS array (like GNU bash)\r\n * Port to MiNT / FreeMiNT (Atari m68k operating system)\r\n * Do not close filedescriptor #3 (controlling tty) on UWIN\r\n * Make the tree printing code safe for re-entrancy of output\r\n * Implement recursive parser for $(\u2026) to fix RedHat BZ#496791\r\n * Use the existing state machine, a recursive parser and retracing the input stream for correct x=(\u2026$((\u2026$(\u2026)\u2026))\u2026) parsing\r\n * complain about ${x:1:2:3} instead of crashing\r\n * make optional printf(1) builtin __CRAZY=Yes clean and prevent it from crashing by reading past end of (invalid) format strings\r\n * abort(3) on rogue pointers #ifdef DEBUG\r\n * Correct some documentation, code commentary, etc.\r\n * Handle the UTF-8 Byte Order Mark in $(\u2026) expressions\r\n * Speed up reading input by checking for the BOM only once\r\n * Fix mis-detection of gcc format attribute (false negative)\r\n * Include some Android specific hacks (no change on other OEs)\r\n * In ${foo/bar/baz} expressions, when adjourning empty patterns to avoid running into a busy-wait loop, remember to skip the anchor characters (\u2018#\u2019 or \u2018%\u2019) at the beginning, yet keep the special meaning replacing a string begin or end with a string has\r\n * Write a pattern optimiser that is run internally before calls to the pattern matching code always (currently, replaces a@(b@(c)d)e with abcde but keeps @(a|a), then (in a second pass) collapses adjacent asterisk (\u2018*\u2019) wildcards into a single one; this fixes some of the symptoms of severe performance issues our pattern matching code has to the extent that it can prevent busy-looping (found by Jb_boin)\r\n * Handle pathnames with exactly two leading slashes well (SUSv4 3.266)\r\n * Fix here documents, add testcases\r\n * Fix corner case ${##1}, add tests for that and ${##} and ${#?}\r\n * Bring back \u201ctest -H\u201d ifdef S_ISCDF (for HP-UX) from pdksh\r\n * Align read-only variable behaviour with (future) POSIX\r\n * Permit ${foo%(*} on FSH (Debian Closes: #619947)\r\n * Allow skipping testcases that need a controlling tty\r\n * Correct skipping the UTF-8 BOM when identifying a file\r\n * Do not use <stdbool.h> any longer\r\n * Use double-underscore-framed __attribute__s\r\n * Always catch SIGALRM (for the sleep builtin)\r\n * Functions now inherit a global set -x\r\n * Do not explicitly initialise static globals to 0/NULL\r\n * Eliminate some dead code (functions, globals)\r\n * Correct more tree handling bugs and merge similar code\r\n * Add \u201c+=\u201d to concatenate scalars and append to arrays\r\n * Support empty here document delimiters\r\n * Fix the four-argument form of test(1)\r\n * Drop the pre-POSIX ability to \u201ctest -t\u201d without specifying \u201cfd\u201d\r\n * Defer dropping an alias in favour of a POSIX function to when the function is actually defined and check for the closing parenthesis too\r\n * Implement a new regression test attribute need-pass: {yes|no} and exit 1 if unexpected fails occur\r\n * Add ;& and ;| for case\r\n * Rewrite the read builtin and its documentation; adding -A (read IFS words into array), -a (read octets/wide characters into array), -N/-n (read only / up to z bytes), -t (read with timeout)\r\n * Add -e option to cd -P (POSIX 2011)\r\n * Update dot.mkshrc to use the new features\r\n * Fix gsf\u2019s ifs.sh tests of the read builtin\r\n * Improve support for AIX, Cygwin, IBM XL C\r\n * Add tests for x+=(y z) and ;;& extensions\r\n * Fix regression in tab completion result display\r\n * Fix parsing x=(\u2026) expressions\r\n * Increase hash table limit; don\u2019t crash when reaching the limit; work around bug in GCC 4.1 on Debian Etch\r\n * New -c lto option to use Link Time Optimisation (GCC) with automatic fallback to -c combine if unavailable\r\n * Improvements for -c dragonegg, -c llvm (with gcc+dragonegg, or llvm-gcc and clang, respectively), and TenDRA\r\n * Let code samples in check.t and dot.mkshrc take care of the new features; fix some longstanding bugs in them\r\n * Add missing flush in rewritten read builtin for prompting\r\n * Minix builds now automatically disable the ulimit builtin", "type": "enhancement", "status": "stable", "request": null, "severity": "unspecified", "suggest": "unspecified", "locked": false, "pushed": true, "critpath": false, "critpath_groups": null, "close_bugs": true, "date_submitted": "2011-07-28 02:45:51", "date_modified": null, "date_approved": null, "date_testing": "2011-07-30 10:37:40", "date_stable": "2011-08-16 21:09:07", "alias": "FEDORA-EPEL-2011-3949", "test_gating_status": null, "from_tag": null, "date_pushed": "2011-08-16 21:09:07", "meets_testing_requirements": false, "url": "https://bodhi.stg.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2011-3949", "title": "mksh-40b-2.el5", "version_hash": "2b4464193f88997dbb2ae3d87c49392859f31dea", "release": {"name": "EL-5", "long_name": "Fedora EPEL 5", "version": "5", "id_prefix": "FEDORA-EPEL", "branch": "el5", "dist_tag": "dist-5E-epel", "stable_tag": "dist-5E-epel", "testing_tag": "dist-5E-epel-testing", "candidate_tag": "dist-5E-epel-testing-candidate", "pending_signing_tag": "", "pending_testing_tag": "", "pending_stable_tag": "", "override_tag": "dist-5E-epel-override", "mail_template": "fedora_epel_legacy_errata_template", "state": "archived", "composed_by_bodhi": true, "create_automatic_updates": null, "package_manager": "unspecified", "testing_repository": null, "released_on": null, "eol": null, "critpath_mandatory_days_in_testing": 14, "mandatory_days_in_testing": 7, "critpath_min_karma": 2, "min_karma": 1, "setting_status": null}, "user": {"name": "robert", "email": "redhat@linuxnetz.de", "id": 172, "avatar": "https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/5ce2f7b6de1c95bdf5b1d0f117f568f9955a164c0916ea7552b5db21bf3e689a?s=24&d=retro", "openid": "robert.id.stg.fedoraproject.org", "groups": [{"name": "proventesters"}, {"name": "provenpackager"}, {"name": "packager"}, {"name": "ipausers"}, {"name": "ambassadors"}, {"name": "campusambassadors"}, {"name": "gitfedora-web"}, {"name": "fedora-contributor"}, {"name": "advocates"}, {"name": "fedorabugs"}, {"name": "gitsecurity-spin"}, {"name": "signed_fpca"}, {"name": "gitfama"}, {"name": "epel-packagers-sig"}, {"name": "web"}, {"name": "clamav"}]}, "comments": [{"karma": 0, "karma_critpath": 0, "text": "This update has been submitted for testing by robert.
