Name        : mksh
Product     : Fedora 22
Version     : 52b
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:

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)
