Hi. I have made a beta test version of bash-1.14.5 available for anonymous FTP from ftp://slc2.ins.cwru.edu/pub/hidden/bash-1.14.5.tar.gz Please grab it, build it, and test it out. I want a reasonably quick beta period so I can get this version onto the next GNU source CD. The only changes in this version fix the few bugs reported for bash-1.14.4. The `NEWS' file detailing the changes is appended. This will be the last release for bash version 1.14. I will release a version of bash-2.0 available for alpha testing to this group sometime this summer, probably after I get back from Italy at the end of June. As always, thanks very much for your help. Chet +=============== NEWS ===============+ This file documents the bugs fixed between this release, bash-1.14.5, and the last public bash release, 1.14.4. 1. Bugs fixed in Bash a. Fix to `fc' so that `fc -l' works when fewer than 16 commands are in the history list. b. Fixes to the builtin getopt(3) and `getopts' to complete conversion from GNU glibc getopt() to internal bash getopt. c. Changes to `make install' to bring it closer to GNU guidelines. d. Fixes to the expansion code so that double quotes on the rhs of ${variableOPword} are handled better. e. New/changed machines.h entries: Fujitsu UXP/M f. Changes to cpp-Makefile and the rest of the Makefiles to more closely adhere to the GNU coding standards. In particular, all recommended targets should now exist. g. `read' now correctly strips trailing IFS whitespace from the input line. h. Reworked the documentation Makefile so that it does not use `texindex' and `tex', but rather `texi2dvi', as per the GNU coding standards i. If SIGINT is not trapped, a process dying of SIGINT will cause the shell to act as if it had received SIGINT and break out of for, while, and until loops. 2. Bugs fixed in Readline a. Fix to the display code so that null prompts don't cause core dumps. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer Chet Ramey, Case Western Reserve University Internet: chet@po.CWRU.Edu
