When using the ** globbing operator, bash will incorrectly add an extra
directory name when the preceding directory name ends with `*' or an empty
string when there is no preceding directory name.
If the prompt length exactly matches the screen width, and the prompt ends
with invisible characters, readline positions the cursor incorrectly.
When parsing case statements in command substitutions, the shell did not
note that a newline is a shell metacharacter and can legally be followed
by a reserved word (e.g., `esac').
When not in a locale supporting multibyte characters, readline will
occasionally not erase characters between the cursor position and the end
of the line when killing text backwards.
If a SIGWINCH arrives while bash is performing redisplay, multi-line prompts
are displayed incorrectly due to the display code being called recursively.
Using an external command as part of the DEBUG trap when job control is
enabled causes pipelines to misbehave. The problem has to do with process
groups assigned to the pipeline and terminal.
A missing include file results in an empty function definition and a no-op
when checking whether or not the window size has changed.
Adding a null line to a here-document (e.g., by hitting EOF) causes the
shell to dump core attempting to dereference the NULL pointer.
There are several problems with the handling of $LINENO in an ERR trap.
Deferring handling of signals which should cause the shell to terminate until
it is "safe" to run the handler functions does not work for some terminating
signals.
When the fc builtin is run in a command substitution from a shell with history
enabled, it does not correctly calculate the command on which to operate.
Though references to $@ when there are no positional parameters will now
cause the shell to exit if the `errexit' option has been enabled, constructs
such as ${@:-foo} should not cause an exit.
A case statement using the ;& pattern terminator followed immediately by
"esac" caused a core dump due to a null pointer dereference.
When using the new |& operator following a simple command with a redirection,
the redirection of stderr through the pipe was not performed under certain
circumstances.

1. New Features in Bash
a. When using substring expansion on the positional parameters, a starting
index of 0 now causes $0 to be prefixed to the list.
b. The `help' builtin now prints its columns with entries sorted vertically
rather than horizontally.
c. There is a new variable, $BASHPID, which always returns the process id of
the current shell.
d. There is a new `autocd' option that, when enabled, causes bash to attempt
to `cd' to a directory name that is supplied as the first word of a
simple command.
e. There is a new `checkjobs' option that causes the shell to check for and
report any running or stopped jobs at exit.
f. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_TYPE variable, set to
a character describing the type of completion being attempted.
g. The programmable completion code exports a new COMP_KEY variable, set to
the character that caused the completion to be invoked (e.g., TAB).
h. If creation of a child process fails due to insufficient resources, bash
will try again several times before reporting failure.
i. The programmable completion code now uses the same set of characters as
readline when breaking the command line into a list of words.
j. The block multiplier for the ulimit -c and -f options is now 512 when in
Posix mode, as Posix specifies.
k. Changed the behavior of the read builtin to save any partial input received
in the specified variable when the read builtin times out. This also
results in variables specified as arguments to read to be set to the empty
string when there is no input available. When the read builtin times out,
it returns an exit status greater than 128.
l. The shell now has the notion of a `compatibility level', controlled by
new variables settable by `shopt'. Setting this variable currently
restores the bash-3.1 behavior when processing quoted strings on the rhs
of the `=~' operator to the `[[' command.
m. The `ulimit' builtin now has new -b (socket buffer size) and -T (number
of threads) options.
n. The -p option to `declare' now displays all variable values and attributes
(or function values and attributes if used with -f).
o. There is a new `compopt' builtin that allows completion functions to modify
completion options for existing completions or the completion currently
being executed.
p. The `read' builtin has a new -i option which inserts text into the reply
buffer when using readline.
q. A new `-E' option to the complete builtin allows control of the default
behavior for completion on an empty line.
r. There is now limited support for completing command name words containing
globbing characters.
s. Changed format of internal help documentation for all builtins to roughly
follow man page format.
t. The `help' builtin now has a new -d option, to display a short description,
and a -m option, to print help information in a man page-like format.
u. There is a new `mapfile' builtin to populate an array with lines from a
given file. The name `readarray' is a synonym.
v. If a command is not found, the shell attempts to execute a shell function
named `command_not_found_handle', supplying the command words as the
function arguments.
w. There is a new shell option: `globstar'. When enabled, the globbing code
treats `**' specially -- it matches all directories (and files within
them, when appropriate) recursively.
x. There is a new shell option: `dirspell'. When enabled, the filename
completion code performs spelling correction on directory names during
completion.
y. The `-t' option to the `read' builtin now supports fractional timeout
values.
z. Brace expansion now allows zero-padding of expanded numeric values and
will add the proper number of zeroes to make sure all values contain the
same number of digits.
aa. There is a new bash-specific bindable readline function: `dabbrev-expand'.
It uses menu completion on a set of words taken from the history list.
bb. The command assigned to a key sequence with `bind -x' now sets two new
variables in the environment of the executed command: READLINE_LINE_BUFFER
and READLINE_POINT. The command can change the current readline line
and cursor position by modifying READLINE_LINE_BUFFER and READLINE_POINT,
respectively.
cc. There is a new &>> redirection operator, which appends the standard output
and standard error to the named file.
dd. The parser now understands `|&' as a synonym for `2>&1 |', which redirects
the standard error for a command through a pipe.
ee. The new `;&' case statement action list terminator causes execution to
continue with the action associated with the next pattern in the
statement rather than terminating the command.
ff. The new `;;&' case statement action list terminator causes the shell to
test the next set of patterns after completing execution of the current
action, rather than terminating the command.
gg. The shell understands a new variable: PROMPT_DIRTRIM. When set to an
integer value greater than zero, prompt expansion of \w and \W will
retain only that number of trailing pathname components and replace
the intervening characters with `...'.
hh. There are new case-modifying word expansions: uppercase (^[^]) and
lowercase (,[,]). They can work on either the first character or
array element, or globally. They accept an optional shell pattern
that determines which characters to modify. There is an optionally-
configured feature to include capitalization operators.
ii. The shell provides associative array variables, with the appropriate
support to create, delete, assign values to, and expand them.
jj. The `declare' builtin now has new -l (convert value to lowercase upon
assignment) and -u (convert value to uppercase upon assignment) options.
There is an optionally-configurable -c option to capitalize a value at
assignment.
kk. There is a new `coproc' reserved word that specifies a coprocess: an
asynchronous command run with two pipes connected to the creating shell.
Coprocs can be named. The input and output file descriptors and the
PID of the coprocess are available to the calling shell in variables
with coproc-specific names.
ll. A value of 0 for the -t option to `read' now returns success if there is
input available to be read from the specified file descriptor.
mm. CDPATH and GLOBIGNORE are ignored when the shell is running in privileged
mode.
nn. New bindable readline functions shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word,
which move forward and backward words delimited by shell metacharacters
and honor shell quoting.
oo. New bindable readline functions shell-backward-kill-word and shell-kill-word
which kill words backward and forward, but use the same word boundaries
as shell-forward-word and shell-backward-word.
2. New Features in Readline
a. A new variable, rl_sort_completion_matches; allows applications to inhibit
match list sorting (but beware: some things don't work right if
applications do this).
b. A new variable, rl_completion_invoking_key; allows applications to discover
the key that invoked rl_complete or rl_menu_complete.
c. The functions rl_block_sigint and rl_release_sigint are now public and
available to calling applications who want to protect critical sections
(like redisplay).
d. The functions rl_save_state and rl_restore_state are now public and
available to calling applications; documented rest of readline's state
flag values.
e. A new user-settable variable, `history-size', allows setting the maximum
number of entries in the history list.
f. There is a new implementation of menu completion, with several improvements
over the old; the most notable improvement is a better `completions
browsing' mode.
g. The menu completion code now uses the rl_menu_completion_entry_function
variable, allowing applications to provide their own menu completion
generators.
h. There is support for replacing a prefix of a pathname with a `...' when
displaying possible completions. This is controllable by setting the
`completion-prefix-display-length' variable. Matches with a common prefix
longer than this value have the common prefix replaced with `...'.
i. There is a new `revert-all-at-newline' variable. If enabled, readline will
undo all outstanding changes to all history lines when `accept-line' is
executed.
j. If the kernel supports it, readline displays special characters
corresponding to a keyboard-generated signal when the signal is received.

This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.2-release,
and the previous version, bash-3.2-beta.
1. Changes to Bash
a. Fixed a bug that caused the temporary environment passed to a command to
affect the shell's environment under certain circumstances.
b. Fixed a bug in the printf builtin that caused the %q format specifier to
ignore empty string arguments.
c. Improved multibyte character environment detection at configuration time.
d. Fixed a bug in the read builtin that left spurious escape characters in the
input after processing backslashes when assigning to an array variable.
2. Changes to Readline
a. Fixed a redisplay bug that occurred in multibyte-capable locales when the
prompt was one character longer than the screen width.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.2-beta,
and the previous version, bash-3.2-alpha.
1. Changes to Bash
a. Changed the lexical analyzer to treat locale-specific blank characters as
white space.
b. Fixed a bug in command printing to avoid confusion between redirections and
process substitution.
c. Fixed problems with cross-compiling originating from inherited environment
variables.
d. Added write error reporting to printf builtin.
e. Fixed a bug in the variable expansion code that could cause a core dump in
a multi-byte locale.
f. Fixed a bug that caused substring expansion of a null string to return
incorrect results.
g. BASH_COMMAND now retains its previous value while executing commands as the
result of a trap, as the documentation states.
2. Changes to Readline
a. Fixed a bug with prompt redisplay in a multi-byte locale to avoid redrawing
the prompt and input line multiple times.
b. Fixed history expansion to not be confused by here-string redirection.
c. Readline no longer treats read errors by converting them to newlines, as
it does with EOF. This caused partial lines to be returned from readline().
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document details the changes between this version, bash-3.2-alpha,
and the previous version, bash-3.1-release.
1. Changes to Bash
a. Fixed a source bug that caused the minimal configuration to not compile.
b. Fixed memory leaks in error handling for the `read' builtin.
c. Changed the [[ and (( compound commands to set PIPESTATUS with their exit
status.
d. Fixed some parsing problems with compound array assignments.
e. Added additional configuration changes for: NetBSD (incomplete multibyte
character support)
f. Fixed two bugs with local array variable creation when shadowing a variable
of the same name from a previous context.
g. Fixed the `read' builtin to restore the correct set of completion functions
if a timeout occurs.
h. Added code to defer the initialization of HISTSIZE (and its stifling of the
history list) until the history file is loaded, allowing a startup file to
override the default value.
i. Tightened up the arithmetic expression parsing to produce better error
messages when presented with invalid operators.
j. Fixed the cross-compilation support to build the signal list at shell
invocation rather than compile time if cross-compiling.
k. Fixed multibyte support for non-gcc compilers (or compilers that do not
allow automatic array variable sizing based on a non-constant value).
l. Several fixes to the code that manages the list of terminated jobs and
their exit statuses, and the list of active and recently-terminated jobs
to avoid pid aliasing/wraparound and allocation errors.
m. Fixed a problem that allowed scripts to die due to SIGINT while waiting
for children, even when started in the background or otherwise ignoring
SIGINT.
n. Fixed a bug that caused shells invoked as -/bin/bash from not being
recognized as login shells.
o. Fixed a problem that caused shells in the background to give the terminal
to a process group other than the foreground shell process group.
p. Fixed a problem with extracting the `varname' in ${#varname}.
q. Fixed the code that handles SIGQUIT to not exit immediately -- thereby
calling functions that may not be called in a signal handler context --
but set a flag and exit afterward (like SIGINT).
r. Changed the brace expansion code to skip over braces that don't begin a
valid matched brace expansion construct.
s. Fixed `typeset' and `declare' to not require that their shell function
operands to be valid shell identifiers.
t. Changed `test' to use access(2) with a temporary uid/euid swap when testing
file attributes and running setuid, and access(2) in most other cases.
u. Changed completion code to not attempt command name completion on a line
consisting solely of whitespace when no_empty_command_completion is set.
v. The `hash' builtin now prints nothing in posix mode when the hash table is
empty, and prints a message to that effect to stdout instead of stderr
when not in posix mode.
w. Fixed a bug in the extended pattern matching code that caused it to fail to
match periods with certain patterns.
x. Fixed a bug that caused the shell to dump core when performing filename
generation in directories with thousands of files.
y. Returned to the original Bourne shell rules for parsing ``: no recursive
parsing of embedded quoted strings or ${...} constructs.
z. The inheritence of the DEBUG, RETURN, and ERR traps is now dependent only
on the settings of the `functrace' and `errtrace' shell options, rather
than whether or not the shell is in debugging mode.
aa. Fixed a problem with $HOME being converted to ~ in the expansion of
members of the DIRSTACK array.
bb. Fixed a problem with quoted arguments to arithmetic expansions in certain
constructs.
cc. The command word completion code now no longer returns matching directories
while searching $PATH.
dd. Fixed a bug with zero-padding and precision handling in snprintf()
replacement.
ee. Fixed a bug that caused the command substitution code not to take embedded
shell comments into account.
ff. Fixed a bug that caused $((...);(...)) to be misinterpreted as an
arithmetic substitution.
gg. Fixed a bug in the prompt expansion code that inappropriately added a
\001 before a \002 under certain circumstances.
hh. Fixed a bug that caused `unset LANG' to not properly reset the locale
(previous versions would set the locale back to what it was when bash
was started rather than the system's "native" locale).
ii. Fixed a bug that could cause file descriptors > 10 to not be closed even
when closed explicitly by a script.
jj. Fixed a bug that caused single quotes to be stripped from ANSI-C quoting
inside double-quoted command substitutions.
kk. Fixed a bug that could cause core dumps when `return' was executed as the
last element of a pipeline inside a shell function.
ll. Fixed a bug that caused DEBUG trap strings to overwrite commands stored in
the jobs list.
2. Changes to Readline
a. Fixed a problem that caused segmentation faults when using readline in
callback mode and typing consecutive DEL characters on an empty line.
b. Fixed several redisplay problems with multibyte characters, all having to
do with the different code paths and variable meanings between single-byte
and multibyte character redisplay.
c. Fixed a problem with key sequence translation when presented with the
sequence \M-\C-x.
d. Fixed a problem that prevented the `a' command in vi mode from being
undone and redone properly.
e. Fixed a problem that prevented empty inserts in vi mode from being undone
properly.
f. Fixed a problem that caused readline to initialize with an incorrect idea
of whether or not the terminal can autowrap.
g. Fixed output of key bindings (like bash `bind -p') to honor the setting of
convert-meta and use \e where appropriate.
h. Changed the default filename completion function to call the filename
dequoting function if the directory completion hook isn't set. This means
that any directory completion hooks need to dequote the directory name,
since application-specific hooks need to know how the word was quoted,
even if no other changes are made.
i. Fixed a bug with creating the prompt for a non-interactive search string
when there are non-printing characters in the primary prompt.
j. Fixed a bug that caused prompts with invisible characters to be redrawn
multiple times in a multibyte locale.
k. Fixed a bug that could cause the key sequence scanning code to return the
wrong function.
l. Fixed a problem with the callback interface that caused it to fail when
using multi-character keyboard macros.
m. Fixed a bug that could cause a core dump when an edited history entry was
re-executed under certain conditions.
n. Fixed a bug that caused readline to reference freed memory when attmpting
to display a portion of the prompt.
3. New Features in Bash
a. Changed the parameter pattern replacement functions to not anchor the
pattern at the beginning of the string if doing global replacement - that
combination doesn't make any sense.
b. When running in `word expansion only' mode (--wordexp option), inhibit
process substitution.
c. Loadable builtins now work on MacOS X 10.[34].
d. Shells running in posix mode no longer set $HOME, as POSIX requires.
e. The code that checks for binary files being executed as shell scripts now
checks only for NUL rather than any non-printing character.
f. Quoting the string argument to the [[ command's =~ operator now forces
string matching, as with the other pattern-matching operators.
4. New Features in Readline
a. Calling applications can now set the keyboard timeout to 0, allowing
poll-like behavior.
b. The value of SYS_INPUTRC (configurable at compilation time) is now used as
the default last-ditch startup file.
c. The history file reading functions now allow windows-like \r\n line
terminators.

developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

This is a terse description of the new features added to bash-3.1 since
the release of bash-3.0. As always, the manual page (doc/bash.1) is
the place to look for complete descriptions.
1. New Features in Bash
a. Bash now understands LC_TIME as a special variable so that time display
tracks the current locale.
b. BASH_ARGC, BASH_ARGV, BASH_SOURCE, and BASH_LINENO are no longer created
as `invisible' variables and may not be unset.
c. In POSIX mode, if `xpg_echo' option is enabled, the `echo' builtin doesn't
try to interpret any options at all, as POSIX requires.
d. The `bg' builtin now accepts multiple arguments, as POSIX seems to specify.
e. Fixed vi-mode word completion and glob expansion to perform tilde
expansion.
f. The `**' mathematic exponentiation operator is now right-associative.
g. The `ulimit' builtin has new options: -i (max number of pending signals),
-q (max size of POSIX message queues), and -x (max number of file locks).
h. A bare `%' once again expands to the current job when used as a job
specifier.
i. The `+=' assignment operator (append to the value of a string or array) is
now supported for assignment statements and arguments to builtin commands
that accept assignment statements.
j. BASH_COMMAND now preserves its value when a DEBUG trap is executed.
k. The `gnu_errfmt' option is enabled automatically if the shell is running
in an emacs terminal window.
l. New configuration option: --single-help-strings. Causes long help text
to be written as a single string; intended to ease translation.
m. The COMP_WORDBREAKS variable now causes the list of word break characters
to be emptied when the variable is unset.
n. An unquoted expansion of $* when $IFS is empty now causes the positional
parameters to be concatenated if the expansion doesn't undergo word
splitting.
o. Bash now inherits $_ from the environment if it appears there at startup.
p. New shell option: nocasematch. If non-zero, shell pattern matching ignores
case when used by `case' and `[[' commands.
q. The `printf' builtin takes a new option: -v var. That causes the output
to be placed into var instead of on stdout.
r. By default, the shell no longer reports processes dying from SIGPIPE.
s. Bash now sets the extern variable `environ' to the export environment it
creates, so C library functions that call getenv() (and can't use the
shell-provided replacement) get current values of environment variables.
t. A new configuration option, `--enable-strict-posix-default', which will
build bash to be POSIX conforming by default.
u. If compiled for strict POSIX conformance, LINES and COLUMNS may now
override the true terminal size.
2. New Features in Readline
a. The key sequence sent by the keypad `delete' key is now automatically
bound to delete-char.
b. A negative argument to menu-complete now cycles backward through the
completion list.
c. A new bindable readline variable: bind-tty-special-chars. If non-zero,
readline will bind the terminal special characters to their readline
equivalents when it's called (on by default).
d. New bindable command: vi-rubout. Saves deleted text for possible
reinsertion, as with any vi-mode `text modification' command; `X' is bound
to this in vi command mode.
e. A new external application-controllable variable that allows the LINES
and COLUMNS environment variables to set the window size regardless of
what the kernel returns: rl_prefer_env_winsize
