Name        : mksh
Product     : Fedora 22
Version     : 51
Release     : 1.fc22
URL         : https://www.mirbsd.org/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:

R51 is a strongly recommended feature release:

  * OpenBSD sync: handle integer base out of band like ksh93 does
  * Protect standard code (predefined aliases, internal code, aliases and functions in dot.mkshrc) from being overridden by aliases and, in some cases, shell functions (i.e. permit overriding but ignore it)
  * Implement GNU bash’s enable for dot.mkshrc using magic aliases to redirect the builtins to external utilities; this differs from GNU bash in that enable takes precedence over functions
  * Move unaliasing an identifier when defining a POSIX-style function with the same name into lksh, as compatibility kludge
  * Korn shell style functions now have locally scoped shell options
  * Change some ASCII-isms to be EBCDIC-aware or pluggable
  * Mention lksh build instructions on manpage and website
  * Overhaul signal handling; support new POSIX NSIG_MAX, add sysconf(_SC_NSIG) as a later TODO item
  * Fix signal bounds (1 ≤ signum < NSIG)
  * Improve manual pages, especially wrt. standards compliance
  * Initial EBCDIC work for dot.mkshrc
  * Add list of z/OS signals to Build.sh
  * Work around the sh(1) backslash-newline problem by moving the code triggering it out of *.opt and into the consumers
  * Bind another well-known ANSI Del key in the Emacs mode
  * Fix ${foo/*/x} pattern checks, spotted by izabera
  * Fix error output of cd function in dot.mkshrc
  * read partial returns in -N and timeout cases
  * Fix $LINENO inside PS1; spotted by carstenh
  * Ensure correct padding of at least 2 spaces in print_columns
  * Note issues with nested complex parameter expansions and follow-up bugfixes to expect
  * Some language fixes in documentation; comments
  * Reimplement multi-line command history (Debian #783978) + fixes
  * Fix command -v for “shell reserved words”
  * In dot.mkshrc make use of latest feature: local options
  * Fix ""$@ to emit a word
  * Change cat(1) hack to look first and not ignore builtin
  * Begin porting mksh to OS/2
  * Some generic minor bugfixes from OS/2 porting
  * Document mknod(8) isn’t normally part of mksh(1)
  * Quote arguments to : in build/test scripts as well
  * Add cat(1) hack for printf(1)-as-builtin: always prefer external
  * Explicitly use binary mode for any and all file I/O in stock mksh
  * Use termio, not termios(4), on OS/2
  * Set edchars to sane BSD defaults if any are NUL
  * Implement support for PC scancodes in Vi and Emacs editing mode
  * OS/2 uses ‘;’ as PATH separator plus support drive letters
