The MirBSD Korn Shell R51 was published today. This is a feature release clearly, but still something a lot of people would wish to use. It contains several known severe bugs, but they all are no regressions, i.e. they exist in R50f already.
This one is kinda an early release, as I wish to have those known issues all fixed, but the changes – both deep down and enduser-visible – already warrant people looking for breakages, plus it makes synchronisation with mksh-os2 easier.
mksh R52 will follow, as bugfix release, pretty soon. Itinerary:
- Fixes for as much of these known bugs as possible (code rewrites)
- Unicode 8
- New feature: print -a
- Fixes for bugs reported against R51
- Possibly more EBCDIC and OS/2 code synchronisation
- Maybe a dead useful debug tool…
Once that’s out, I’ll roll up the fixes into R50g, so that particular code branch is not dead yet either ☺
And afterwards, at least mksh(1)-wise – I have got a lot of other things on my plate after all – we can attempt getting EBCDIC and maybe OS/2 to a state where the code is included in CVS.
