mksh-52b-1.el5

FEDORA-EPEL-2016-717b73b866 created by robert 10 years ago for Fedora EPEL 5

mksh R52b

R52b is a strongly recommended bugfix-only release:

  • Recognise ksh93 compiled scripts and LZIP compressed files as binary (i.e. to not run as mksh plaintext script)
  • Document that we will implement locale tracking later
  • Add EEXIST to failback strerror(3)
  • Make set -C; :>foo race-free
  • Don’t use unset in portable build script
  • Plug warning on GNU/kFreeBSD, GNU/Hurd
  • Document read -a resets the integer base
  • Fix manpage: time is not a builtin but a reserved word
  • Make exit (and return) eat -1
  • parse “$( (( … ) … ) … )” correctly (LP#1532621), Jan Palus
  • reduce memory footprint by free(3)ing more aggressively
  • fix buffer overrun (LP#1533394), bugreport by izabera
  • correctly handle nested ADELIM parsing (LP#1453827), Teckids
  • permit “read -A/-a arr[idx]” as long as only one element is read; fix corruption of array indicēs with this construct (LP#1533396), izabera
  • Sanitise OS-provided signal number in even more places
  • As requested by Jörg, be clear manpage advice is for mksh
  • Revert (as it was a regression) POSIX bugfix from R52/2005 related to accent gravis-style command substitution until POSIX decides either way
  • Handle export et al. after command (Austin#351)
  • Catch EPIPE in built-in cat and return as SIGPIPE (LP#1532621)
  • Fix errno in print/echo builtin; optimise that and unbksl
  • Update documentation, point out POSIX violation (Austin#1015)
