Name : mksh
Product : Fedora 15
Version : 40d
Release : 1.fc15
URL : http://www.mirbsd.de/mksh.htm
Summary : MirBSD enhanced version of the Korn Shell
Description :
mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh),
a bourne-compatible shell which is largely similar to the original AT&T Korn
shell. It includes bug fixes and feature improvements in order to produce a
modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use, being a
bourne shell replacement, pdksh successor and an alternative to the C shell.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
mksh R40d is a must-have bugfix update:
* New test.sh ‘-f’ option (same as ‘-C fastbox’)
* Drop using set -o noglob inside pushd/popd/dirs
* Use += more in dot.mkshrc and keep strings shorter
* Correct interworking between local and set -A
* Fix out-of-bounds memory access on strings of 32 KiB length
* MKSH_DISABLE_DEPRECATED (for integrators)
* test(1) built-in behaves exactly as POSIX says
* Move compile-time assertions to Build.sh from misc.c#ifdef DEBUG
* Invocation documentation is at the bottom of Build.sh
* test.sh: verbosely look for perl(1) interpreter to use
* New tests for integers (base 1‥36, base unspecified, base OOB)
* Correct error paths for typeset -n global state
* Deprecate interpreting "010" as octal number, will go
* Improvements re. integer handling; more explicit manpage text
* Do not use caddr_t on Linux, so dietlibc stops bitching
* Catch division/modulo overflow 0x80000000/-1
* Emacs mode ^O regression fix when the fetched lines are edited
