Change logs for mksh source package in Bionic

  • mksh (56c-1) unstable; urgency=high
    
      * New upstream bugfix release:
        - [komh] Remove redundant OS/2-specific code, clean up others
        - [komh, tg] Fix drive-qualified (absolute and relative) DOS-style
          path support in realpath functionality, partially other places
        - [tg] Don’t substitute ${ENV:-~/.mkshrc} result again
        - [tg] Improve OS/2 $PATH (et al.) handling, drive-relative paths
        - [tg] Add MKSH_ENVDIR compile-time option for Jehanne and Plan 9
        - [tg] Update wcwidth data with bugfixed script (still Unicode 10;
          resulting values are identical to glibc git master for extant chars)
        - [Dr. Werner Fink] Raise some time limits in the testsuite
        - [Shamar] Add support for the Jehanne operating system
        - [komh] Set stdin to text mode before executing child processes on OS/2
        - [komh] Pass arguments via a resonse file if executing a child fails
        - [Dr. Werner Fink] Early locale tracking as a compile-time option
        - [tg] Fix regressions introduced with new fast character classes

  • mksh (56b-4) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Use http, not https, for the homepage, to make it accessible
        from Debian buster/sid OpenSSL
      * Update VCS-* to new repository caused by Alioth deprecation
      * Update from MirBSD CVS HEAD
      * Policy 4.1.3 (no change)
        - we require Built-Using for licence reasons in a non-negligible
          number of cases, so we’ve got to keep using it
      * Debhelper 11, insisted on by lintian
      * Update lintian overrides

  • mksh (56-1) unstable; urgency=medium
    
      * Upload to unstable
      * New upstream formal release:
        - [tg, Seb] Do not apply alias name restrictions to hash/tilde tracking
        - [tg] Restore ‘.’, ‘:’ and ‘[’ in alias names (“[[” is still forbidden)
        - [tg] Fix accidentally defanged $PATHSEP test
        - [tg] On ^C (INTR and QUIT edchars), shove edit line into history
        - [iSKUNK, tg] Begin porting to z/OS using EBCDIC encoding, incomplete
        - [tg] Redo fast character classes code, adding POSIX and other helpers
        - [tg] bind parses backslash-escaped ‘^’ (and ‘\’) as escaped
        - [tg] Building with -DMKSH_ASSUME_UTF8=0 no longer causes a known
          failure in the testsuite
        - [tg] New test.sh option -U to pass a UTF-8 locale to use in the tests
        - [tg] re_format(7) BSD: [[ $x = *[[:\<:]]foo[[:>:]]* ]]
        - [tg, iSKUNK] Use Config in check.pl only if it exists
        - [tg] New matching code for bracket expressions, full POSIX (8bit)
        - [komh] Exclude FAT/HPFS/NTFS-unsafe tests on OS/2 (and Cygwin/MSYS)
        - [tg] Update to Unicode 10.0.0
        - [tg, selk] Make readonly idempotent
        - [tg, multiplexd] When truncating the persistent history, do not change
          the underlying file, do all operations on the locked one; do not stop
          using the history at all if it has been truncated
        - [tg, J�rg] Turn off UTF-8 mode upon turning on POSIX mode
        - [Martijn Dekker, Geoff Clare, many on the Austin list, tg] In POSIX
          mode, make the exec builtin force a $PATH search plus execve
        - [tg] Fix GCC 7, Coverity Scan warnings
        - [tg, Michal Hlavinka] Track background process PIDs even interactive
        - [tg] Always expose mksh’s hexdump shell function; speed it up by
          working on the input in chunks; use character classes to make it
          EBCDIC safe
        - [tg] Revamp dot.mkshrc default editor selection mechanism
      * Policy 4.0.1; no changes AFAICT
      * Update lintian overrides, NEWS entry
