From: garbanzo AT hooked DOT net (Hmmmz) Subject: Bash 2.01 is released 19 Jun 1997 00:23:53 -0700 Approved: cygnus DOT gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Original-To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I'm kinda scanning the bash-2.01/CHANGES file as I'm building it and some interesting things popped up: ( aside from numerous bugs being fixed) (2.01 beta2 to release) d. Pathname canonicalization now leaves a leading `//' intact, as POSIX.1 requires. (alpha1 to beta1) h. A more meaningful message is now printed when the file in /tmp for a here document cannot be created. m. The tilde code no longer calls getenv() when it's compiled as part of the shell, which should eliminate problems on systems that cannot redefine getenv(), like the NeXT OS. q. Fixed a problem with completion -- it thought that `pwd`/[TAB] indicated an unfinished command completion (`/), which generated errors. r. The bash special tilde expansions (~-, ~+) are now attempted before calling the standard tilde expansion code, which should eliminate the problems people have been seeing with this on Solaris 2.5.1. Overall there seem to be many many things that should help it run faster, etc, etc, I've posed that file to www.wenet.net/~garbanzo/gnuwin32/bashchanges.txt and hope to have a precompiled version uploaded by the time this message gets distributed. - alex - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
