+ variable in the global scope would instead create a local variable if
+ the variable had an attribute but did not have a value.

+ executing the handler, it is deferred until the handler completes.
+10-06-16 Fixed a bug in which ulimit -v was setting the the cpu limit
+ on Linux.
+10-06-14 +The command 'typeset -T' now generates the list of type definitions

+10-06-09 Put in patch from Solaris for output quoting with %q.
+10-06-09 +Made changes to the NAMESPACE compile option so that it now seems
+ to work. With this option, namespace <name> { command;} will
+ run command in the namespace .name so that all variables and
+ functions created by command are accessible outside the name

+ a hex float variable.
+10-05-20 +The compile option SHOPT_EDPREDICT has been added. When this option
+ is on, as you type a line beginning with a # the following characters
+ are treated as a shell pattern and cause matching lines from the
+ history file to be displayed as a numbered list as you type.
+ You can scroll up and down this list or you can use <ESC>nTAB
+ to make this the current line (n defaults to 1 of omitted) or
+ <ESC>n<cr> to execute.

+ after a lookup of one of its elements has been fixed.
+10-05-12 Two bugs in the handling of function static type variables in
+ subshells have been fixed. One could cause an exception and the
+ other would leave side effects in the parent shell.

+ the subshell completed has been fixed.
+10-04-23 For file completion in commmand line editing, file names starting
+ with # are now escaped so that they are not treated as comments.

+ kill, wait, and jobs allow the pool name as operands.
+10-04-14 A bug in which a coprocess connection could terminate prematurely
+ when running a nested subshell has been fixed.
+10-04-12 +Enumeration constants can be used in arithmetic expressions with the

+ 'function .sh.math.name x y z{...}' , where name is the function name
+ invoked within ((...)) and x y z are long double arguments passed
+ as name references. y and z are used for functions with two and
+ three arguments respectively. The value of the function is the value
+ of the long double .sh.value variable when the function returns.

+ numerator was a binary operator with the first operand floating
+ point and the second integer, e.g. (.1**3)/3, has been fixed.

+ been fixed.
+10-03-16 A bug in the handling of process groups in monitor mode for
+ command substitutions has been fixed.
+10-03-15 Fixed a bug in which read -u[fd] could cause the shell to core

+ an internal file was closed from with a subshell has been fixed.
+06-10-30 +The redirections <# pattern, and <## pattern have been added.

+ with a redirection and not occurring with in the while, until, if,
+ select condition can be preceded by a semi-colon which will
+ be ignored when showme is off. When showme is on, any command
+ preceded by a colon will be traced but not executed.
+06-08-16 +As a new feature, a leading ~(N) on a pattern has no effect
+ except when used for file expansion. In this case if not
+ matches are found, the pattern is replaced by nothing rather
+ than itself.
+06-08-11 A bug in the expansion of ${.sh.match[i]:${#.shmatch[i]}} has
+ been fixed.

+ expressions.
+06-06-20 +The functions isinf(), isnan(), tanhl() have been added for
+ arithmetic expressions.
+06-06-13 Internal change to use ordering for variables instead of hashing
+ to speed up prefix matching.

+ and cause a program to hang has been eliminated
+06-06-13 A bug in edit completion with quoted strings has been fixed.
+06-06-07 The restricted options can now be enabled by set as well as on
+ the command line. Once set, it can not be disabled.

+ and /usr/bin are the same, a builtin bound to /bin will get
+ selected when either /bin or /usr/bin is scanned.
+06-06-04 +Added literal-next character processing for emacs/gmacs mode.
+ This change is not compatible with earlier versions of ksh93
+ and ksh88 when the stty lnext is control-v. The sequence
+ escape-control-v will display the shell version.
+06-05-31 +Modified emacs and vi mode so that entering a TAB after a partial
+ TAB completion, generates a listing of possible completions.
+ After the second TAB, a number followed by a TAB will perform
+ the completion with the corresponding item.
+06-05-19 +Modified arithmetic so that conversions to strings default to
+ the maximum number of precision digits.
+06-05-16 Bug fixes for multibyte locales.
+06-05-10 The =~ operator was added to [[...]] and [[ string ~= ERE ]]
+ is equivalent to [[ string == ~(E)ERE ]].
+06-04-25 A bug in the vi edit mode which could cause the shell to core dump
+ when switching from emacs mode.
+06-04-17 A bug in which using LANG or LC_ in assignment lists with builtins
+ did not restore the localed correctly has been fixed.
+06-04-04 A bug in which discipline functions could not be added to variables

+ would create a job that could not be restarted has been fixed.
+
+06-01-24 --- Release ksh93r ---
+06-01-24 A bug in which running commands with standard output closed would
+ not work as expected has been fixed.

+ style history expansions using the history character !.
+05-12-07 +The multiline option was added which changes that way the edit
+ modes handle lines longer than the window width. Instead of
+ horizontal scrolling, multiple lines on the screen are used.
+05-12-05 The whence builtin now returns an absolute pathname when the
+ command is found in the current directory.
+05-11-29 A bug which caused ksh -c '[[ ! ((' to core dump rather than
+ report a syntax error has been fixed.
+05-11-29 A bug when reading fixed length records into typeset -b variables
+ which caused a zero byte to terminate the value has been fixed.
+05-11-22 +The ability to seek to an offset within a file has been added
+ with the new I/O redirection operators, <# and >#. Currently,
+ these redirection operators must be followed by ((expr))
+ but in a future release, it should be able to used to seek forward
+ to the specified shell pattern. In addition $(n<#) expands to the
+ current byte offset for file descriptor n.
+05-11-22 +The .sh.match array variable is now set after each [[ ... ]]
+ pattern match. Previously it was only set for substring matches.
+05-10-17 A bug in which the library path variable could be prefixed

+ the directory of the executable has been fixed.
+05-09-15 A for/while loop optimizer bug in which $OPTIND was not
+ correctly expanded has been fixed.

+ command could go into an infinite loop has been fixed.
+05-08-31 +In the case that IFS contains to adjacent new-lines so that
+ new-line is not treated as a space delimiter, only a single
+ new-line is deleted at the end of a command substitution.
+05-08-19 +When a tilde substitution expands to the / directory and is
+ followed by a /, it is replaced by the empty string.

+ by the [[...]] command is executed has been fixed.
+05-04-08 +Redirection operators can be directly preceded with {varname}
+ with no intervening space, where varname is a variable name which
+ allows the shell to select a file descriptor > 10 and store it
+ into varname.
+05-04-08 +SHOPT_CMDLIB_BLTIN=1 now includes <cmdlist.h> generated table.
+05-04-07 +[[ -o ?option ]] is true if "option" is a supported option.
+05-04-05 A bug in handling file completion with spaces in the names
+ has been fixed.
+05-03-25 +The SIGWINCH signal is caught by default to keeps the LINES and
+ COLUMNS variables in sync with the actual window size.
+05-03-25 +Building ksh with SHOPT_REMOTE=1 causes ksh to set --rc if stdin is
+ a socket (presumably part of a remote shell invocation.)
+05-03-25 +Building ksh with SHOPT_SYSRC=1 causes interactive ksh to source
+ /etc/ksh.kshrc (if it exists) before sourcing the $ENV file.
+05-03-25 +{first..last[..incr][%fmt]} sequences added to brace expansions
+ when braceexpand is enabled.

+ any directory in PATH, now allows a line of the form 'BUILTIN_LIB=.'
+ When a command is searched for this directory, and the full path
+ matches the path of the built-in version of the command (listed
+ by the 'builtin' command) then the built-in version of the command
+ is used. When ksh is built with SHOPT_CMDLIB_DIR=1 then all libcmd
+ functions become builtins with the '/opt/ast/bin/' directory prefix.
+05-01-10 A bug in which a nameref to a compound name caused a core dump has
+ been fixed.
+05-01-09 A bug in which some SIGCHLD interrupts (from child processes exiting)

+ `--foo' equivalent to `-o foo', `--nofoo' equivalent to `+o foo'
+04-10-05 +The .paths file, introduced in ksh93m, which can appear in
+ any directory in PATH, now allows a line of the form
+ 'BUILTIN_LIB=libname'. When a command is searched for this directory,
+ the shared library named by libname will first be searched for a
+ built-in version of the command.
+04-09-03 <<< here documents now handle quotes in the word token correctly.
+04-08-08 +The maximum size for read -n and and read -N was increased from
+ 4095 to 32M.
+04-08-04 +printf %q was modified so that if an no operand was supplied, no
+ no output would be generated rather than a quoted empty string.
+04-08-01 +The -n and -N options of the read builtin has been modified
+ when reading variables with the binary attribute so that the
+ data is stored directly rather than through assignment.
+04-08-01 +The shcomp command has been modified to process alias commands
+ under some conditions.
+04-07-31 +The .sh.match variable added in ksh93l, now works like other

+04-06-24 +The number of subexpressions in a pattern was increased to 64
+ from the current number of 20.
+04-06-17 +The -t option to read was modified to allow seconds to be

+ an integral number of seconds, for example even -t 'sin(.5)'
+ is now valid.
+04-06-16 Two small memory leak problems were fixed.
+04-06-15 A bug in ${var/pattern/"string"} which occurred when string
+ contained pattern matching characters has been fixed.
+04-05-08 printf $'%d\n' produced an erroneous error message and has

+ cause a core dump when a script with an associative array with
+ the same name was declared in a script invoked by name has
+ been fixed.
+04-05-11 A bug in which an exec statement could close the script that
+ is being processed in a script that is run by name causing
+ a failure has been fixed.
+04-04-28 +If the first character of assignment to an integer variable was 0,
+ the variable had been treated as unsigned. This behavior was
+ undocumented and has been removed.

+ after reading from standard input from a subshell has been fixed.
+04-03-30 A bug in the for loop optimizer which in rare cases could cause

+03-12-15 A bug in which a quoted string ending with an unescaped $ would
+ delete the ending $ in certain cases has been fixed.
+03-12-05 A bug in which the shell could hang when set -x tracing a command
+ when an invalid multibyte character is encountered has been fixed.
+03-12-05 On some systems, if the KEYBD trap is set, then commands that use

+ leader that could cause it to fail has been fixed.
+03-12-05 A problem in which a shell could core dump after receiving a signal
+ that should cause it to terminate while it was in the process
+ of acquiring more space has been fixed.
+03-12-05 +If ENV is not specified, the shell will default to $HOME/.kshrc
+ for interactive shells.
+03-11-21 A bug introduced in ksh93o in which the DEBUG trap could get
+ disabled after it triggered has been fixed.
+03-11-04 A bug in which using arithmetic prefix operators ++ or -- on a
+ non-lvalue could cause a core dump has been fixed.
+03-11-04 A bug in which leading zeros were stripped from variable
+ expansions within arithmetic computation to avoid being treated
+ as octal constants when they should not have, has been fixed.
+03-10-08 A bug introduced in ksh93o in which a large here document inside
+ a function definition could get corrupted has been fixed.
+03-09-22 A bug in which the .get discipline function was not being

+ within a numerical expression has been fixed.
+03-09-22 A bug in which a script without a leading #! could get executed
+ by /bin/sh rather than the current shell on some systems has
+ been fixed.
+03-09-12 +To improve conformance with ksh88, leading zeros will be ignored

+ any number of arguments can be specified.
+03-06-14 A bug in which could cause a core dump on some systems with
+ vi and emacs editors with the MULTIBYTE option has been fixed.

+ that it is unaware of terminates while it is calling malloc()
+ has been fixed.
+03-06-02 +An option named globstar (set -G) has been added. When enabled,
+ during pathname expansion, any component that consists only of ** is
+ matches all files and any number of directory levels.
+03-05-30 A bug in which the PATH search could give incorrect results when
+ run from directory foo and PATH contained .:foo:xxx has been fixed.
+03-05-29 +Some changes were made to the code that displays the prompt in edit
+ mode to better handle escape sequences in the prompt.
+03-05-27 I added = to the list of characters that mark the beginning of
+ a word for edit completion so that filenames in assignments
+ can be completed.
+03-05-20 A bug in which read -N could hang on some systems when reading
+ from a terminal or a pipe has been fixed.
+03-05-19 A bug in which the output of uname from a command substitution

+03-05-19 A job control timing bug introduced in ksh93o on some systems
+ which could cause a pipeline to hang if the first component
+ completed quickly has been fixed.
+03-05-13 +The read builtin has been modified so that the builtin editors
+ will not overwrite output from a previous incomplete line.
+03-05-13 A bug in which the name of an identifier could have the string
+ .sh. prefixed to it after expanding a variable whose name begins
+ with .sh. has been fixed.
+03-05-13 A bug in the expansion of $var for compound variables in which
+ some elements would not be output when the name was a prefix
+ of another name in the compound variable has been fixed.
+03-05-08 The last item in the ksh93o release on 03-01-02 has been
+ altered slightly to preserve the leading 0's when the
+ preceding character is a digit. Thus, with typeset -LZ3 x=10,
+ $(( 1$x)) will be 1010 whereas $(( $x) will be 10.
+03-04-25 A bug in which if x is a name reference, then nameref y=x.foo
+ did not follow x has been fixed.
+
+03-03-18 --- Release ksh93o ---
+03-03-18 +A -N unary operator was added to test and [[...]] which returns
+ true if the file exists and the file has been modified since it
+ was last read.
+03-03-18 +The TIMEFORMAT variable was added to control the format for
+ the time compound command. The formatting description is
+ described in the man page.
+03-03-06 +A -N n option was added to read which causes exactly n bytes
+ to be read unlike -n n which causes at most n bytes to be read.
+03-03-03 +Three new shell variables were added. The variable .sh.file
+ stores the full pathname of the file that the current command
+ was found in. The variable .sh.fun names the current function
+ that is running. The variable .sh.subshell contains the depth
+ of the current subshell or command substitution.
+03-03-03 +When the DEBUG trap is executed, the current command line after
+ expansions is placed in the variable .sh.command. The trap
+ is also now triggered before each iteration of a for, select,
+ and case command and before each assignment and redirection.
+03-02-28 +Function definitions are no longer stored in the history file so
+ that set -o nolog no longer has any meaning.
+03-02-28 +All function definitions can be displayed with typeset -f not
+ just those stored in the history file. In addition, typeset +f
+ displays the function name followed by a comment containing the
+ line number and the path name for the file that defined this function.
+03-02-28 A bug in which the value of $LINENO was not correct when executing
+ command contained inside mult-line command substitutions has been
+ fixed.
+03-02-19 +Since some existing ksh88 scripts use the undocumented and
+ unintended ability to insert a : in front of the % and # parameter
+ expansion operators, ksh93 was modified to accept :% as equivalent
+ to % and :# as equivalent to # with ${name op word}.
+03-02-14 A bug which could cause a core dump when reading from standard
+ error when standard error was a pty has been fixed.
+03-02-14 +The shell arithmetic was modified to use long double on systems
+ that provide this data type.
+03-02-09 A bug in which a function located in the first directory in FPATH
+ would not be found when the last component of PATH was . and the
+ current directory was one of the directories in PATH has been fixed.
+03-02-07 +The trap and kill builtin commands now accept a leading SIG prefix
+ on the signal names as documented.
+03-02-05 A bug in the expansion of ${var/$pattern}, when pattern contained
+ \[ has been fixed.
+03-02-05 A bug in which .sh.match[n], n>0, was not being set for substring
+ matches with % and %% has been fixed.
+03-01-15 A bug in which getopts did not work for numerical arguments specified
+ as n#var in the getopts string has been fixed.
+03-01-09 A bug in which using ${.sh.match} multiple times could lead to
+ a memory exception has been fixed.
+03-01-06 A bug in the expansion of ${var/pattern/$string} in the case that
+ $string contains \digit has been fixed.
+03-01-02 +A -P option was added for systems such as Solaris 8 that support
+ profile shell.
+03-01-02 For backward compatibility with ksh88, arithmetic expansion
+ with ((...)) and let has been modified so that if x is a zero-filled
+ variable, $x will not be treated as an octal constant.
+
+02-12-05 --- Release ksh93n+ ---
+02-11-30 A bug that can show up in evaluating arithmetic statements that
+ are in an autoloaded function when the function is autoload from
+ another function has been fixed.
+02-11-30 An optimization bug in which an expansion of the form ${!name.@},
+ which occurred inside a for or a while loop, when name is a name
+ reference, has been fixed.
+02-11-18 A bug in which modifying array variables in a subshell could leave
+ side effects in the parent shell environment has been fixed.
+02-11-18 A memory leak when unsetting an associative array has been fixed.
+02-11-14 +The code to display compound objects was rewritten to make
+ it easier for runtime extensions to reuse this code.
+02-11-14 +A change was made to allow runtime builtins to be notified when
+ a signal is received so that cleanup can be performed.
+02-10-31 +User applications can now trap the ALRM signal. Previously,
+ the ALRM signal was used internally and could not be used
+ by applications.
+02-10-31 A bug in which signals received while reading from a coprocess
+ for which traps were set was not handled correctly has been fixed.
+02-10-31 A bug in which a file opened with exec inside a subshell could
+ be closed before the subshell completed has been fixed.
+02-10-21 A bug in which setting PATH or FPATH inside a function might not
+ take effect has been fixed.
+02-10-21 A bug which could cause a core dump when a local SECONDS variable
+ is defined in a function has been fixed.
+02-10-15 A bug in which the associate array name operator ${!array[@]}
+ could return the same name multiple times has been fixed.
+02-10-15 A bug in which the zero'th element of an associative array was
+ not getting set when an assignment was made without a subscript
+ specified has been fixed.
+
+02-09-30 --- Release ksh93n ---
+02-09-30 +The maximum indexed array size was increased to 16Megs.
+02-09-30 A bug which could cause a core dump when changing attributes
+ of associative array has been fixed.
+02-09-30 A bug in which exporting an array variable would not export the
+ 0-th element has been fixed.
+02-09-30 A bug in which an array assignment of the form a=($a ...) would unset
+ 'a' before the right hand side was evaluated has been fixed.
+02-09-27 A bug in which the error message for ${var?message} when var was
+ null or unset did not contain the variable name var has been fixed.
+02-09-27 A bug in which closing file descriptors 0 through 2 could
+ cause a subsequent here document to fail has been fixed.
+02-09-14 A bug in whence which occurs when the specified name contained
+ a / has been fixed.
+02-09-14 A bug in the parser for strings of the form name$((expr))=value
+ has been fixed.
+02-09-14 A for loop optimization bug in which the number of elements in
+ an array was treated as an invariant has been fixed.
+02-09-09 A bug in which redirection or closing of a file descriptor between
+ 3 and 9 could cause a subsequent here document to fail has been
+ fixed.
+02-09-09 A bug in which a background job was not removed from the job list
+ when a subshell completed has been fixed, for example (prog&).
+02-09-03 A bug in which an assignment of the form name=(integer x=3)
+ could be interpreted as an array assignment rather than a
+ compound variable assignment has been fixed.
+02-08-19 A command completion bug which occurred on file systems that
+ are case insensitive has been fixed.
+02-08-19 A bug which could lead to an exception on some systems (for
+ example FREEBSD) which occurred when setting PATH has been fixed.
+02-08-11 A bug in arithmetic rounding in which a value input as a decimal
+ string would output as a rounded version of the string has
+ been fixed.
+02-08-11 A bug in which the last character could be deleted from shell
+ traces and from whence when called from a multibyte locale
+ has been fixed.

+ corrupt memory for long command lines has been fixed.
+
+02-06-17 --- Release ksh93n- ---
+02-06-17 A bug in which user defined macros could cause a core dump in
+ with MULTIBYTE mode has been fixed.
+02-06-17 A bug in which printf format specifiers of the form %2$s were causing

+01-11-28 The value of $? was not being set when called with exit.
+01-11-28 If the last command was of the form (...) and a trap on EXIT or

+ the ports to be specified by service name.
+01-09-24 +The change staring with ksh93g in which the the appropriate
+ library path variable is prepended with a corresponding library
+ directory has been modified. With the new method, only the
+ library path defined in the file named .paths in the directory
+ where the executable is found will be modified. See the
+ man page for more details.
+01-09-23 +The .fpath file (see ksh93h) is no longer looked for in each
+ directory on the path to locate function directories. The
+ file named .paths is used instead.
+01-09-23 A bug in which IFS was not being restored after being changed in
+ a subshell has been fixed.
+01-09-16 +With the vi and emacs edit modes, after a list of command

+ by preceding the = or M-= with a numeric parameter specifying
+ the position on the list.
+01-09-16 A bug in ksh93l caused command completion not to find aliases

+ errors in recursive functions using local variables that
+ contained for loops has been fixed.
+01-07-27 A bug in which IFS would be unset after a command substitution
+ inside a here document has been fixed.
+01-07-26 To conform to the POSIX standard, if you invoked ksh name,
+ and name does not contain a /, it will first try to run
+ one in the current directory whether it is executable or not
+ before doing a path search for an executable script. Earlier
+ versions first checked for an executable script using the
+ PATH variable.
+01-07-23 A bug in which unset -f invoked in a subshell could unset a
+ function defined in the parent has been fixed.
+01-07-16 A bug in the optimization of for loops in ksh93l caused
+ name references to be treated as invariants has been fixed.
+01-07-09 A bug in which a discipline function applied to a local variable
+ could cause a shell exception has been fixed. Discipline
+ functions can only be specified for global variables.
+
+01-06-18 --- Release ksh93l ---
+01-06-18 A bug in assigning integers larger than can be represented as
+ long integers to floating point variables has been fixed.
+01-06-18 A bug in the handling of unsigned integers (typeset -ui) has
+ been fixed.
+01-06-04 The evaluation of the PS1 prompt no longer effects the value
+ of the $? variable.
+01-06-01 A small memory leak from subshells has been fixed.
+01-05-22 A bug in which attributes for variables that did not have
+ values would be lost after a subshell has been fixed.
+01-05-22 +The %R format has been added to convert a shell pattern into
+ an extended regular expression.
+01-05-22 +The escape sequences \e, \cX, \C[.collating-element.], and
+ \x{hex} have been added to ASCII-C strings and to printf format
+ strings.
+01-05-20 +Patterns of the form {n}(pattern) and {m,n}(pattern) are now
+ recognized. The first form matches exactly n of pattern whereas,
+ the second form matches from m to n instances of pattern.
+01-05-20 +The shell allows *-(pattern), +-(pattern), ?-(pattern),
+ {m,n}-(pattern}, and @-(pattern) to cause the minimal
+ match of pattern to be selected whenever possible rather
+ than the maximal (greedy) match.
+01-05-20 +The character class [:word:] has been added to patterns.
+ The word class is the union of [:alnum:] and the character _.
+01-05-20 +Inside (...) pattern groups, the \ character is now treated
+ specially even when in an enclosing character class. The
+ sequences, \w, \d, \s are equivalent to the character classes
+ word, digit, and space respectively. The sequences \W, \D,
+ and \S are their complement sets.
+01-05-20 +The shell now recognizes pattern groups of the form
+ ~(options:pattern) where options or :pattern can be omitted.
+ Options use the letters + and - to enable and disable options
+ respectively. The option letters g (greedy), i (ignore case)
+ are used to cause maximal matching and to cause case
+ insensitive matching respectively. If :pattern is also
+ specified, these options are only in effect while this
+ pattern is being processed. Otherwise, these options remain
+ in effect until the end of the pattern group that they are contained
+ in or until another ~(...) is encountered. These pattern groups
+ are not counted with respect to group numbering.
+01-05-14 When edit completion, expansion, or listing occurs in the
+ middle of a quoted string, the leading quote is ignored when
+ performing the completion, expansion, or listing.
+01-05-14 A small memory leak from subshells has been fixed.
+01-05-10 A bug in which open files were not restored after a subshell
+ that had used exec to replace a file has been fixed.
+01-05-10 +Redirection to a null file name now generates an error message.
+01-05-09 The shell now rejects some invalid parameter substitutions that
+ were previously processed in undefined ways.
+01-05-09 A bug in which the output of select was not flushed before the
+ read when input did not come from the terminal has been fixed.
+01-05-08 A bug in which job ids would not be freed for interactive shells
+ when subshells ran built-ins in the background has been fixed.
+01-05-08 +The FPATH variable now requires an explicit . to cause the
+ current directory to be treated as a function directory.
+01-05-08 A bug in read -n when echo mode was disabled has been fixed.
+01-05-07 A bug in which function definitions could be listed as part
+ of the history has been fixed.
+01-04-30 +This release uses a new and often much faster pattern matcher than
+ earlier releases.
+01-04-30 +An optimizer now eliminates invariant parameter expansions from
+ for while and until loops.
+01-04-30 +The variable .sh.match is set after each pattern match (# % or /)
+ in a variable substitution. The variable .sh.match is an
+ indexed array with element 0 being the complete match.
+ The array is only valid until the next subsequent pattern
+ match or until the value of the variable changes which ever
+ comes first.
+01-04-30 +A self generating man page has been added to shcomp. Also,
+ shcomp now stops compiling when it finds an exit or exec
+ command and copies the remainder so that it can be used
+ for standard input.
+01-04-30 +The shcomp command was modified so that it can work in an
+ EBCIDIC environment and that binary scripts are portable
+ across environments.
+01-04-30 A bug in the handling of a trailing : in PATH has been fixed.
+01-04-30 A bug in which the builtin version of a command would get invoked
+ even though the full pathname for the command was specified
+ has been fixed.
+01-04-30 A bug in which read would loose the last character when
+ reading the last line of a file that did not contain a new-line
+ character has been fixed.
+01-04-23 A bug on some systems in which in vi mode the end of file
+ character and end of line character could be swapped has
+ been fixed.
+01-04-23 A bug on some systems in which invoking a shell script that
+ did not have execute permission could set the exit value to
+ 127 rather than 126 has been fixed.
+01-04-20 A bug in which read -n from a pipe would block if fewer than
+ n characters was received has been fixed.
+01-04-09 A bug in which invalid patterns, for example, ) by itself,
+ was not treated as a string has been fixed so that if i=')',
+ then [[ $i == $i ]] is true.
+01-04-09 +The shell arithmetic now interprets C character constants.
+01-04-09 A bug in which a non-zero return from a function defined
+ with the function reserved word did not trigger the ERR
+ trap or exit with set -e has been fixed.
+01-04-02 A bug on some systems, in which characters above 127 were
+ not displayed correctly in vi or emacs edit mode has been fixed.
+01-04-02 A bug on some systems, introduced in the 'k' point release, in
+ which the erase character in viraw mode was moving the cursor
+ to the left without erasing the character has been fixed.
+01-04-02 On some systems the wcwith() function was returning a wrong
+ value for characters and caused characters to be displayed
+ incorrectly from the shell edit modes. A work around for
+ this problem has been added.
+01-03-26 A bug in which valid scripts could produce syntax errors
+ when run with locales that considered characters such as "'"
+ to be space characters has been fixed.
+01-03-20 A bug in which an syntax error in an arithmetic expression
+ entered interactively could cause the shell to go into
+ an infinite loop outputting the error message has been fixed.
+01-03-10 +ksh93 accepts -l as a synonym for -L in test on systems for
+ which /bin/test -l tests for symbolic links.
+01-03-10 A bug in parsing scripts in which { and } are used in place of
+ in and esac in case statements embedded in compound commands
+ has been fixed. Use of { and } for in and esac is obsolete.
+01-03-06 A bug in which an argument of the form foo=bar was not
+ being passed correctly to a traced function whose name
+ was foo has been fixed.
+01-03-02 Using $(trap -p name) did not print the name of the current
+ trap setting for trap name.
+01-02-26 Exported floating point variables gave incorrect results
+ when passing them to ksh88. This has been fixed.
+01-02-25 A race condition in which a coprocess which completed too quickly
+ would not allow subsequent coprocesses to start has been fixed.
+01-02-25 The 'g' format specifier is now handled by printf. It had
+ inadvertently been omitted.
+01-02-20 The + was not being displayed during an execution trace
+ with the += assignment operator.
+01-02-19 The error message which occurs when the interpreter name
+ defined on the #! line does not exist is more informative.
+01-02-19 A bug in which $0 would not be set correctly when a
+ script with #! was invoked by full pathname from the
+ directory of the script has been fixed.
+01-02-19 A shell script did not always pick up tty mode changes
+ made by external commands such as stty which could
+ effect the behavior of read.
+01-02-19 The -u, -g, and -k unary tests did not give the correct
+ results when used with negation and this has been fixed.
+
+01-02-05 --- Release ksh93k+ ---
+01-02-05 The sequence \<newline> inside $'...' was not incrementing
+ the line count and this has been fixed.
+01-02-05 +Modified expansion of "${@-}" so that if no arguments are set
+ it results in null string rather than nothing.
+01-02-02 memory leak problem with local variables in functions fixed.
+01-01-25 +allow arithmetic expressions with float%int and treat them
+ as ((int)float)%int rather than as an error.
+01-01-19 read -n1 was not working and has been fixed.
+01-01-17 +ksh now handles the case in which a here document in command
+ substitution $() is terminated by the trailing ). Previously,
+ a new-line was needed at the end of the delimiter word.
+01-01-02 A bug in which a KEYBD trap would cause a multi-line token
+ to be processed incorrectly has been fixed.
+00-12-10 +Arithmetic integer constants can now have L and U suffices.
+00-12-10 A bug in the processing of arithmetic expressions with compound
+ variables when the -n option is on has been fixed.
+00-12-08 A bug in M-f and M-b from emacs mode has been fixed. This

+ jobs run in a script has been fixed.
+00-11-21 A bug in integer arrays in which the number of elements is
+ incorrect when the ++ operator is applied to a non-existing
+ element has been fixed. For example, integer x; ((x[3]++)).

+ group to the wrong value in the case that the a new process
+ changes the terminal group during startup has been fixed.
+
+00-10-27 --- Release ksh93k ---
+00-10-27 Using tab for completion now works only when applied
+ after a non-blank character at the end of the current line.
+ In other case a tab is inserted.

+ The ^X^E sequence is supposed to invoke the full editor
+ on the current command.
+00-10-18 A bug in which expansions of the form ${var//pattern/string}
+ did not work correctly when pattern was '/' or "/" has
+ been fixed.
+00-10-18 +The output format for indexed arrays in compound variables
+ has been modified so that it can be used as input.
+00-10-18 Assignments with name references (typeset -n) will now
+ implicitly unreference an existing name reference.
+00-10-17 A bug the += append operator when a single array element
+ is appended to a variable that is not an array has been fixed.
+00-10-16 A bug in which the SIGCONT signal was being sent to
+ each process will kill -0 or kill -n 0 has been fixed.
