Here is the ninth ksh 93u+m/1.0 bugfix release.
Main changes between ksh 93u+m/1.0.8 and 93u+m/1.0.9:
- Android/Termux is now a supported platform. Build dependencies:
binutils, clang, getconf. Runtime dependencies (optional):
ncurses-utils, getconf.
- Reintroduced support for building a dynamically linked
ksh(1)/shcomp(1), with libast, libdll, libcmd, and libshell
available to other programs as dynamic libraries. 'bin/package
install /your/basepath' will install development headers. The
dynamically linked version is built in a 'dyn' subdirectory;
there are no changes to the statically linked version. Dynamic
linking is currently tested and supported on Linux, Android,
macOS, all the BSDs, illumos, Solaris, QNX, and Haiku.
- On systems where the external printf(1) utility supports
deprecated pre-POSIX syntax for formatters starting with '-', ksh
now adapts its built-in printf to match, for compatibility with
system scripts. However, ksh's built-in printf options such as -v
or --man are not affected.
- Fixed a regression in the 'printf' built-in, introduced in
93u+m/1.0.5, where each instance of '\0' or '%Z' in the format
operand caused a string argument to be incorrectly skipped.
- Fixed a regression, introduced in 93u+m/1.0.5, in ordinal
specifiers in 'printf %T' date specifications. For example,
printf '%(%F)T\n' '4th tuesday in march 2016'
wrongly printed '2016-04-09' and now again correctly prints
'2016-03-22'.
- Fixed a regression of 'return' within traps, reintroduced in
93u+m/1.0.8 after being fixed in 93u+m/1.0.0. The regression
caused a 'return' or 'exit' with no arguments to assume the
before-trap exit status instead of that of the last-run command.
This broke the shipped 'autocd' function.
- Fixed a longstanding bug in shell arithmetic: the representation
of negative integers with a base other than 10 was incorrectly
treated as unsigned long. For example,
typeset -i16 n=-12; echo $n
now correctly outputs '-16#c' and no longer ouputs
'16#fffffffffffffff4'.
- Fixed a bug, introduced in ksh93q+ 2005-05-22, that stopped an
append assignment from working together with a declaration
command. For example, 'typeset var+=value' or 'export var+=value'
now again work as expected.
- Fixed a longstanding bug where the default terminal width for
typeset -L, -R, or -Z, if not given, was miscalculated for
multibyte or control characters.
- Fixed: expansions of name references in loops were incorrectly
treated as invariant so they yielded the wrong values.
- If a .get or .getn discipline function is set for a variable, it
is no longer incorrectly triggered when performing an arithmetic
assignment on that variable; only the .set discipline is now
triggered (as documented).
- Many other bug fixes (see the NEWS file).- Loading branch information
