				 9/15/2016
				 ---------
[bash-4.4 released]

				   9/17
				   ----
builtins/common.c
	- display_signal_list: if 0 is supplied as an argument to kill -l,
	  display a signal-out-of-range error.  Fixes bug reported by
	  Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>

				   9/18
				   ----
print_cmd.c
	- print_heredoc_bodies: take a list of redirections, all here documents,
	  and print the here-document bodies including the ending delimiter,
	  followed by a newline
	- print_redirection_list: print the heredoc headers the first time
	  through the list of redirections so we print them in the same left-
	  to-right order they're supplied; print the bodies and delimiters with
	  print_heredoc_bodies after we print all the redirections if we're
	  not printing a list of commands (printing_connection == 0).  Fix for
	  problem reported by Isabella Parakiss <izaberina@gmail.com>
	- print_deferred_heredocs: don't print heredoc headers, since they're
	  now printed in print_redirection_list
	- print_deferred_heredocs: use print_heredoc_bodies

				   9/20
				   ----
builtins/mapfile.def
	- readarray: update usage synopsis to include -d delim.  Report and
	  fix from jhankins@homewood.k12.al.us

test.c
	- test_binop: if op[0] == '-', make sure op[1] != 0 before checking
	  op[2] or op[3].  Fixes out-of-bounds read reported by Franco
	  Costantini <franco.costantini.20@gmail.com>

parse.y
	- cond_term: if yylval.word->word[0] == '-' make sure word[1] != 0
	  before checking word[2] and calling test_unop.  Fixes out-of-bounds
	  read reported by Franco Costantini <franco.costantini.20@gmail.com>
	- make sure to check all instances of the return value of the
	  simple_command production before trying to hook redirections onto it,
	  since it can potentially return NULL.
	  Reported by Franco Costantini <franco.costantini.20@gmail.com>

				   9/21
				   ----
parse.y
	- token_is_assignment: make sure to check that the return value from
	  assignment() finds the `=' we just added at index I to avoid false
	  positives from g=g=g=g=g=g=().  Reported by Franco Costantini
	  <franco.costantini.20@gmail.com>

				   9/22
				   ----
parse.y
	- token_is_assignment: if we're not using the bash malloc (which has
	  guard bytes after the requested allocation size), use a new
	  buffer so we can make sure it's big enough to hold the current
	  token and at least two additional characters.  Reported by
	  Franco Costantini <franco.costantini.20@gmail.com>

				   9/23
				   ----
execute_cmd.c
	- execute_in_subshell: call without_job_control for both job control
	  and non-job-control builds to avoid waiting for last_made_pid
	  inherited from parent shell.  Related to fix from 8/4 to
	  initialize_subshell.  Fixes bug reported by Martijn Dekker
	  <martijn@inlv.org>

builtins/declare.def
	- local_builtin: allow `local --help' to work even when not executing
	  a function. Suggestion from Norm Abramovitz <norm@starkandwayne.com>

				   9/25
				   ----
builtins/printf.def
	- bexpand: if passed a null or empty string, return a newly-allocated
	  empty string (so the return value can always be freed) instead of
	  NULL.
	- printstr: if passed a null string, treat it as if it were an empty
	  string so any precision or fieldwidth arguments are handled
	  correctly.  Report from isabella parakiss <izaberina@gmail.com>

subst.c
	- skip_matched_pair: make the flags argument of 1 affect whether or
	  not backslash can quote characters in the string, so it affects
	  all quoting mechanisms

arrayfunc.c
	- unbind_array_element: now takes a third (flags) argument; flags&1
	  means to not expand an associative array index. This is only called
	  from a shell builtin context, which means the argument should have
	  already undergone word expansion, so it should be ok.  Will still
	  be a problem for uses like "unset -v 'var[$ind]'", quoted to avoid
	  globbing
	- valid_array_reference: pass second flags argument to skipsubscript;
	  still set to 0 by all callers

arrayfunc.h
	- unbind_array_element: updated prototype

builtins/set.def
	- unset_builtin: add third argument of 1 to unbind_array_element calls
	  [TEMPORARILY DISABLED]
	- unset_builtin: call valid_array_reference with second arg of 1 to
	  handle unmatched pairs of quotes and [/]

array.c
	- array_reference: optimize access locality as well as sequential
	  access by adding ability to start from last-accessed element and move
	  backwards or forwards depending on the desired index.  Inspired by
	  report from Tom McCurdy <tom.j.mccurdy@gmail.com> and followup from
	  Christian Franke <Christian.Franke@t-online.de>

variables.c
	- all_array_variables: include associative arrays, not just indexed
	  arrays.  Reported by Grisha Levit <grishalevit@gmail.com>

execute_cmd.c
	- execute_disk_command: if we're optimizing out the fork (CMD_NO_FORK),
	  decrement the shell level so we don't end up incrementing it twice.
	  We should decrement the shell level for an implicit exec like an
	  explicit one.  Reported by Stephane Chazelas
	  <stephane.chazelas@gmail.com>

builtins/exec.def
	- exec_builtin: don't bother to decrement the shell level if we are
	  already in a `(command)' subshell.  Reported by Stephane Chazelas
	  <stephane.chazelas@gmail.com>

lib/readline/macro.c
	- macro_level: count of macro nesting level, maintained by
	  _rl_push_executing_macro and _rl_pop_executing macro
	- _rl_with_macro_input: if current nesting level exceeds
	  MAX_MACRO_LEVEL, abort the current command line with _rl_abort_internal
	  and return to the top level.  Reported by Christian Klomp
	  <christianklomp@gmail.com>

lib/readine/history.c
	- add_history: if allocating the history list for the first time,
	  make sure the max history list size isn't so large that it will
	  cause allocation errors.  Cap it at MAX_HISTORY_INITIAL_SIZE
	  (8192).  Reported by Sean Zha <freeman_cha@hotmail.com>

jobs.c
	- wait_for: if a foreground job with job control enabled is killed by a
	  SIGINT and sourcelevel != 0, act as if we received the SIGINT so the
	  file sourcing can be terminated.  Reported by PePa
	  <peterkelly@passchier.net>

				   9/26
				   ----
subst.c
	- read_comsub: only warn once for null bytes in command substitution
	  output, instead of once for every null byte

arrayfunc.c
	- array_variable_part: now takes a `flags' argument; changed all callers
	  to initially pass 0
	- array_variable_name: now takes a `flags' argument; changed all callers
	  to initially pass 0
	- array_variable_name: pass `flags' argument to skipsubscript instead
	  of just passing 0

arrayfunc.h
	- array_variable_{name,part}: added new argument to prototypes

				   9/29
				   ----
bashline.c
	- bash_directory_completion_hook: don't bother to try and expand a
	  ${ or $( that isn't complete; expand_prompt_string will complain.
	  Fixes reports from John Passaro <john.a.passaro@gmail.com> and
	  Valentin Bajrami <valentin.bajrami@gmail.com>

lib/readline/history.c
	- _hs_append_history_line: use a strategy that attempts to avoid
	  realloc copying memory to a newly-allocated block if the history
	  line we're appending to gets `too long' (currently 256 bytes).
	  We reallocate in powers of 2 starting at 512, and rely on realloc
	  not allocating a new block and copying into it if the size is the
	  same as the last call to realloc.  Addresses issue raised by
	  Hubert Schmid <h.schmid@gmx.de>

trap.h
	- check_signals: new extern declaration
	- trapped_signal_received: new extern declaration

builtins/read.def
	- read_builtin: if one of the zread* functions returns < 0 (which
	  usually only happens in Posix mode), make sure we call check_signals()
	  before eventually calling run_pending_traps() because zread() isn't
	  going to call it
	- include trap.h for correct extern functions and variable declarations

lib/sh/zread.c
	- zread: if executing a builtin, call check_signals_and_traps() for
	  backwards compatibility.  If not, call check_signals() only, because
	  we don't want to run traps during, for instance, reading command
	  substitution output.  Fixes race condition bug reported by Luiz Angelo
	  Daros de Luca <luizluca@gmail.com>

				   9/30
				   ----
subst.c
	- command_substitute: reset parse_and_execute_level to 0 in the child
	  process, since it's independent of the other parse_and_execute
	  calls.  Adds command substitution inside other parse_and_execute
	  calls optimizations to suppress forks, as suggested by
	  Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>

				   10/3
				   ----
configure.ac
	- SHOBJ_STATUS: make sure it defaults to unsupported and is substituted
	  if the shobj-conf script isn't run.  Fixes `make install' bug with
	  a minimal config reported by Andrew Tomazos <andrewtomazos@gmail.com>

				   10/5
				   ----
support/shobj-conf
	- darwin: set compatibility_version for a shared build of the readline
	  library (the standalone readline distribution shares this file) to
	  $(SHLIB_MAJOR)$(SHLIB_MINOR).  Recommendation from Max Horn
	  <max@quendi.de>

				   10/6
				   ----
array.h
	- array_first_index: new convenience define

array.c
	- ADD_AFTER: new define, complement of ADD_BEFORE
	- UNSET_LASTREF: now takes an array as an argument, prepping for move
	  of lastref pointer into the array struct
	- array_insert: check whether we are adding at the beginning of the
	  array and take a fast path if so
	- array_insert: use same strategy as array_reference to find the place
	  to insert, starting from the last-referenced element and moving
	  forward or back from there; use ADD_AFTER if moving backward
	- array_insert: if replacing an existing element, just replace the
	  value with new->value instead of the entire element
	- array_reference: short-circuit quickly if looking for an element
	  before the first assigned index
	- array_reference: if we don't find the element, leave lastref pointing
	  to the closest element under the assumption we will be assigning or
	  looking for something close
	- array_reference: take advantage of ordered indexes to short-circuit
	  when looking for element that is not set

				   10/7
				   ----
array.c
	- array_remove: short-circuit if asked to remove index after max
	  index or before first index

				   10/10
				   -----
lib/malloc/malloc.c
	- internal_realloc: if we are requesting reallocation to the same size
	  as the block's current size, short-circuit and return `mem' right
	  after doing bounds check
	- internal_realloc: if we are reducing the size of an allocation, and
	  the new size fits in the next lower bin, just keep the same block
	  and adjust the size, so we can avoid some copies

parse.y
	- set_line_mbstate: keep track of the allocated size of
	  shell_input_line_property, only request reallocation if the size
	  increases, but don't let it get too big

				   10/11
				   -----
jobs.c
	- wait_for_background_pids: make sure we wait for pid in
	  last_procsub_child since it's not found in any job -- still needs
	  more work to wait for multiple process substitutions

subst.c
	- process_substitute: if make_child fails, make sure we call
	  restore_pipeline to undo the previous save_pipeline()

				   10/15
				   -----
subst.c
	- process_substitute,command_substitute: leave subshell_level (reflected
	  as $BASH_SUBSHELL) intact for any exit trap instead of decrementing
	  it.  Suggested by Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>

builtins/evalstring.c
	- optimize_subshell_command: new function, framework for optimizing
	  out forks for command that have already forked and are executing
	  in a subshell. Not used yet

expr.c
	- readtok: if we have a post-increment or post-decrement, and the
	  previous token is not a string, check whether the previous token is
	  a number that results from a pre-increment or pre-decrement, and
	  make that an error.  Report from Conrad Hoffmann <ch@bitfehler.net>

				   10/16
				   -----
aclocal.m4
	- BASH_JOB_CONTROL_MISSING: convert from AC_TRY_RUN to AC_TRY_COMPILE
	  with existing set of preprocessor defines, so it can work when
	  cross-compiling.  Suggested by Felix Janda <felix.janda@posteo.de>

				   10/19
				   -----
variables.c
	- get_bashpid: BASHPID is no longer readonly; assignments to it are
	  just ignored.

doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
	- BASHPID: note that assignments are ignored and unsetting BASHPID
	  causes it to lose its special properties

				   10/28
				   -----
builtins/pushd.def
	- popd_builtin: make sure to check the normalized stack offset
	  (i.e., negatives counting back from the end of the stack) is within
	  bounds before trying to free that stack entry.  Report from
	  Fernando Muñoz <fernando@null-life.com>

lib/readline/histfile.c
	- chown: protect calls with HAVE_CHOWN.  Fixes for MinGW{64,32} from
	  J. Peter Mugaas <jpmugaas@suddenlink.net>

lib/readline/colors.c
	- S_ISDIR: add define if missing
	- S_ISUID, S_ISGID, S_ISLNK, S_ISSOCK: don't use unless defined.
	  Fixes for MinGW{64,32} from J. Peter Mugaas <jpmugaas@suddenlink.net>

bashhist.c
	- current_command_line_comment: set to the most recent line in a
	  possibly multi-line command that contains a shell comment; set in
	  maybe_add_history and bash_add_history to either the current
	  command number or -2
	- maybe_add_history: set current_command_line_comment for first line
	  of command
	- bash_add_history: chars_to_add set to "\n" if the current command line
	  is one greater than the previous line containing a comment
	  (current_command_line_comment).  Fixes complaint from back in
	  January, 2016 from Dave Rutherford <dave@evilpettingzoo.com>

array.h
	- lastref: move last-referenced pointer into each array struct, so all
	  arrays can have reference locality

array.c
	- array_create: set lastref element to 0
	- array_copy: if copying the lastref in array a, set the new lastref
	  in the copy to the same element
	- IS_LASTREF, LASTREF_START, LASTREF, INVALIDATE_LASTREF, SET_LASTREF,
	  UNSET_LASTREF: change to use new array `lastref' member

pathexp.c
	- quote_string_for_globbing: if quoting for a regexp, make sure to
	  skip and copy a leading `^' in a bracket expression, and skip and
	  copy a subsequent `]' (after an optional `^'), so that leading
	  bracket doesn't close the bracket expression.  Report from
	  Stephane Chazelas <stephane.chazelas@gmail.com>

				   10/29
				   -----
subst.c
	- extract_delimited_string: add calls to CHECK_STRING_OVERRUN for
	  $( inside $((, nested OPENERs, nested ALT_OPENERs, and backquotes
	- skip_to_delim: add calls to CHECK_STRING_OVERRUN for $(, ${,
	  process substitution
	- extract_dollar_brace_string: add calls to CHECK_STRING_OVERRUN for
	  $(
	- extract_dollar_brace_string: use skipsubscript to skip over the
	  array subscript in ${var[sub]} (non-quoted case uses string_extract,
	  which already uses skipsubscript).  Tagged for bash-5.0

				   10/30
				   -----
variables.c
	- EPOCHSECONDS: new dynamic variable, time in seconds since Unix
	  epoch; assignments are ignored.  Can be used on systems where
	  strftime() doesn't support '%s'
	- EPOCHREALTIME: new dynamic variable, time in seconds since Unix
	  epoch with microsecond granularity

doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
	- EPOCHSECONDS documentation
	- EPOCHREALTIME documentation

execute_cmd.c
	- decpoint: moved to locale.c, renamed locale_decpoint; changed callers

{bashintl,externs}.h
	- locale_decpoint: extern declaration or #define if support for
	  localeconv() not there

				   10/31
				   -----
lib/malloc/malloc.c
	- posix_memalign: add new posix-mandated interface

examples/loadables/rm.c
	- rm: minimal loadable builtin, removes files and directories, only
	  handles -r and -f options.  Original from Tim Ruehsen
	  <tim.ruehsen@gmx.de>, heavily rewritten for inclusion as loadable

examples/loadables/Makefile.in
	- rm: add rules to build rm as one of the `other' targets

examples/loadables/stat.c
	- stat: new loadable builtin that takes a filename and loads the info
	  returned by stat(2) into an associative array specified by the -A
	  argument (default STAT)

				   11/1
				   ----
variables.c
	- BASH_ARGV0: new dynamic variable, returns $0 on reference and sets
	  $0 on assignment.  From a suggestion from  Rocky Bernstein <rocky@gnu.org>
	  a few years ago

doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
	- BASH_ARGV0: document

				   11/2
				   ----
lib/glob/sm_loop.c
	- parse_collsym: make sure to not return an out-of-bounds read if a
	  collating symbol is unterminated.  Fixes OOB read reported by
	  Jerzy Kramarz <op7ica@gmail.com>
	- brackmatch: after incrementing p, before checking whether it's a
	  character range, check whether *p was NULL before the increment
	  and short-circuit the bracket expression if it is

jobs.c
	- discard_last_procsub_child: new function, safely discards
	  last_procsub_child and sets it to NULL

subst.c
	- process_substitute: call discard_last_procsub_child instead of
	  calling discard_pipeline directly.  Fixes bug reported by
	  Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.inka.de>

				   11/3
				   ----
shell.h
	- EX_DISKFALLBACK: new special return status available to builtins;
	  means to attempt to execute a disk command with the same name as
	  the builtin

examples/loadables/rm.c
	- if we see the -i option, return EX_DISKFALLBACK

execute_cmd.c
	- execute_simple_command: if executing a builtin returns EX_DISKFALLBACK,
	  try running execute_disk_command instead 

bashline.c
	- shell_expand_line: use expand_word to expand the readline line
	  buffer, which allows us to pass flags with the word. If a numeric
	  argument is supplied, do not perform quote removal (pass
	  Q_HERE_DOCUMENT since here-doc quoting does the right thing) and
	  do not perform command or process subsitution.  From a suggestion
	  by Dabrien 'Dabe' Murphy <dabe@dabe.com> based on an old bug-bash
	  discussion

subst.c
	- expand_word_internal: note that we have added a quoted IFS char to
	  istring by setting sentinel has_quoted_ifs.  Usually we only add
	  one if we are not going to be performing word splitting, but we
	  will not perform word splitting if there's no expansion, so we need
	  to take care of that case
	- expand_word_internal: when performing final word split, if there are
	  no expansions but has_quoted_ifs is non-zero, call remove_quoted_ifs()
	  to remove any quoted ifs characters we added while processing
	- remove_quoted_ifs: new function, removes CTLESC chars preceding
	  (single-byte) chars in IFS. Used when we are not performing word
	  splitting.  Fixes bug reported by Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>

				   11/4
				   ----
lib/readline/macro.c
	- _rl_peek_macro_key: return the next character from the current
	  keyboard macro; the next character from the `next' keyboard macro,
	  if there is one, if at the end of the current macro; or 0 to
	  indicate that we are at the end of a keyboard macro sequence

lib/readline/rlprivate.h
	- _rl_peek_macro_key: extern declaration

lib/readline/readline.c
	- _rl_dispatch_subseq: add test for ESC at the end of a keyboard macro,
	  which should cause the keyboard timeout for ESC to kick in.  The
	  previous test didn't run the timeout code if executing from a macro,
	  even if we had read the last character of the macro.  Fixes bug
	  reported by Clark Wang <clarkw@vmware.com>

lib/glob/sm_loop.c
	- GMATCH: allow trailing backslash in pattern to explicitly match a
	  backslash that is the last character in the string.  Bug report from
	  Stephane Chazelas <stephane.chazelas@gmail.com>

				   11/5
				   ----
builtins/common.c
	- display_signal_list: if displaying a signal name corresponding to an
	  exit status > 128, don't display the SIG prefix at all.  Old code
	  made displaying the SIG prefix dependent on JOB_CONTROL define.
	  Report and fix from Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>

execute_cmd.c
	- execute_subshell_builtin_or_function: call without_job_control even
	  if JOB_CONTROL is not defined. Similar to fix from 9/23.
	  Report from Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>

execute_cmd.c
	- execute_simple_command: free memory allocated and passed to
	  make_child in the child process if JOB_CONTROL is defined
	- execute_command_internal: free memory allocated and passed to
	  make_child in the child process created to run a () subshell or a
	  compound command within a pipeline if JOB_CONTROL is defined
	- execute_coproc: free memory allocated and passed to make_child in
	  the child process if JOB_CONTROL is defined
	- execute_disk_command: free memory allocated and passed to
	  make_child in the child process if JOB_CONTROL is defined.  This
	  series of fixes is the result of reports from
	  Eduardo A. Bustamante López <dualbus@gmail.com>

				   11/6
				   ----
lib/sh/unicode.c
	- u32toutf16: fix to prevent outputting broken surrogate pairs for
	  Japanese locales (ja_JP.UTF-8) on cygwin (which uses UTF-16 natively).
	  Report and fix from Koichi MURASE <myoga.murase@gmail.com>

builtins/trap.def
	- trap_builtin: if OP is `-' (revert), set the SIGINT signal handler
	  to sigint_sighandler if the shell is interactive and sourcing a
	  file (interactive_shell && sourcelevel) or running a trap
	  (interactive_shell && running_trap) even if it's not currently
	  interactive.  Report from Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>

builtins/read.def
	- check for and read multibyte characters in all cases, not just when
	  we are reading a specific number of characters, as long as
	  mb_cur_max > 1

subst.c
	- expand_word_internal: some improvements to code that converts istring
	  into a WORD_LIST * to avoid multiple allocations and copies of
	  istring, which is already malloc'ed memory -- reduce number of malloc
	  and free calls

test.c
	- unary_test: make sure if we test -v array[@] or array[*] that we
	  free the return value from array_value

				   11/8
				   ----
expr.c
	- expcond: make sure to set `noeval' before reading tokens depending on
	  the result of the conditional test, since readtok() can evaluate
	  identifiers (and recursively those containing expressions).  Report
	  and fix from Koichi MURASE <myoga.murase@gmail.com>

builtins/evalstring.c
	- should_suppress_fork: make sure to check for traps on EXIT and
	  ERR, since any_signals_trapped() only checks for `real' signals,
	  not the fake shell ones.  Fixes bug reported by Werner Fink
	  <werner@suse.de>
	- optimize_subshell_command: ditto

				   11/9
				   ----
eval.c
	- reader_loop: change so that we don't reset the SIGINT handler every
	  time through the command loop in an interactive shell if the signal
	  is trapped (as the comment noted).  Reported by Report from Martijn
	  Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>

subst.c
	- parameter_brace_{patsub,remove_pattern,transform,casemod}: save and
	  restore this_command_name while temporarily setting it for use in
	  error messages.  Fixes use-after-free error reported by
	  Jerzy Kramarz <op7ica@gmail.com>
	- string_extract_verbatim: make sure when we increment i by 2 due to
	  a CTLESC or CTLESC-CTLNUL that we don't read past the end of the
	  string. This can happen if the string ends with an odd number of
	  CTLESC chars. Fixes oob-read error reported by
	  Jerzy Kramarz <op7ica@gmail.com>

				   11/11
				   -----
configure.ac,aclocal.m4
	- BASH_FUNC_SBRK: make sure sbrk actually works, instead of being just
	  a stub function like on several Linux distributions

lib/malloc/malloc.c
	- malloc_usable_size: return the maximum number of bytes available for

configure.ac
	- changes to make --enable-profiling work on Linux (-pg, no static link,
	  no -static in LDFLAGS)

Makefile.in
	- changes to make --enable-profiling work on Linux (take
	  ${PROFILE_FLAGS} out of  BASE_CCFLAGS, add to CCFLAGS instead; add
	  BASE_LDFLAGS define that doesn't include -pg or -static; use
	  BASE_LDFLAGS in LDFLAGS; move ${PROFILE_FLAGS} and ${STATIC_LD} to

tests/run-gprof
	- changes to make profiling test suite with gprof work on Linux (set
	  GMON_OUT_PREFIX to handle multiple profiled processes per test;
	  change default filename to gmon.out from bash.gmon; look for
	  gprof output files in ${TMPDIR} instead of /tmp; handle multiple

locale.c
	- locale_isutf8: use locale_charset() if it's available and nl_langinfo

	  for an ASCII character, use (essentially) strchr as a shortcut

lib/sh/shmbchar.c
	- utf8_{mbstrlen,mblen,mbsmbchar,mbsnlen}: UTF-8-specific replacement
	  functions (should also be able to use utf8_mblen in subst.c:
	  string_extract_verbatim)
	- mbsmbchar: if locale_utf8locale is true, call utf8_mbsmbchar
	- mbsmbchar: in UTF-8 locale, use utf8_mblen instead of mbrlen (not

lib/sh/unicode.c
	- u32cconv: don't use nl_langinfo early to call u32toutf8()
	- u32cconv: use locale_utf8locale to set utf8locale
	- u32cconv: when initializing (u32init == 0), use locale_charset, then

lib/readline/text.c
	- _rl_insert_char: optimize cases where we are inserting a single-byte
	  character in a locale with multibyte characters
	- _rl_insert_char: check whether character is single byte if we know
	  we are in a UTF-8 locale, optimize single-byte case to avoid calls
	  to mbrtowc and memmove/memcpy

lib/readline/mbutil.c
	- _rl_char_value: if we are in a UTF-8 locale (_rl_utf8locale) and the
	  current character does not have the eighth bit set ((c & 0x80) == 0),
	  return that char without bothering to call mbrtowc
	- _rl_adjust_point: don't bother calling mbrlen if we are in a UTF-8

	- _hs_history_patsearch: new internal interface to use when flags
	  specify PATTERN_SEARCH

lib/readline/rlprivate.h
	- SF_PATTERN: new flag for non-incremental search contexts, means to
	  treat search string as a pattern (maps to PATTERN_SEARCH)

lib/readline/search.c
	- noninc_dosearch: takes an additional `flags' argument for SF_PATTERN
	- noninc_search_from_pos: takes an additional `flags' argument for
	  SF_PATTERN
	- noninc_dosearch: pass flags argument through to noninc_search_from_pos
	- _rl_nsearch_init: if we are in vi command mode, and `pchar' (key used
	  to invoke the search) is `?' or `/', add SF_PATTERN to the flags
	  to conform to Posix spec for vi-mode editing
	- _rl_nsearch_dosearch: if cxt->sflags indicates that we should do a

	  `*' to avoid having to perform multiple match attempts from each
	  index in the history line
	- history_search_internal: changes to handle pattern matching if
	  PATTERN_SEARCH is in the flags and HAVE_FNMATCH is defined.  This

	  sets; history_expansion set to value of this variable; defaults to 0
	- history_expansion: now set to HISTEXPAND_DEFAULT

bashhist.c
	- bash_history_reinit: if interact == 0, set history_expansion to the
	  value of histexp_flag, to allow -H option to enable history
	  expansion
	- bash_history_reinit: if interact == 0, make sure
	  history_expansion_inhibited is set opposite of histexp_flag, so
	  enabling history expansion with -H invocation option turns off
	  inhibited expansion. If interactive shell, we turn it off so
	  history_expansion controls whether or not history expansion takes
	  place. In practice, this function is always called with interact == 0,
	  and -c command still doesn't perform history expansion

shell.c
	- init_interactive: make sure histexp_flag and history_expansion are

doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
	- wait: document the new -f option and its behavior when job control

	  do it here. Manage a local array local_prompt_newlines; set an offset
	  every time `physchars' hits a multiple of the screen width.  Inspired

	  of the various non-pattern ${paramOPword} expansions, set
	  expand_no_split_dollar_star depending on whether or not the entire
	  brace expansion is going to be subjected to word splitting: if it's

	  if `op' is `=', since we are supposed to preserve the assignment
	  statement expansion semantics on the RHS of ${param=word}

jobs.c
	- bgp_delindex: make sure to set ps->pid to NO_PID so we more
	  effectively remove it from the hash table. It shouldn't matter as
	  long as nothing in pidstat_table points to it, but better to be safe
	- bgp_delete,bgp_search: generalize previous collision detection to

	  width is 80 and use that to guess how many screen lines the prompt
	  consumes

lib/readline/readline.c
	- readline_internal_setup: if in emacs editing mode, and we are
	  showing the editing mode in the prompt, call _rl_reset_prompt() to
	  make sure that the updated setting of _rl_show_mode_in_prompt

subst.c
	- expand_word_internal: set had_quoted_null to note for later if we
	  expand '', "", or "$x" when x is unset
	- expand_word_internal: if we expand "$param" (or "${param}") and we
	  come back with a single word with the W_HAVEQUOTEDNULL flag set,
	  make sure we set had_quoted_null to remember it for later. In this
	  case, if we already have seen a quoted null and we expanded $@ in
	  this (sub)string expansion, we don't want to do any of the special
	  $@ handling. In particular, we don't want to set *expanded_something,
	  because that will result in word splitting and quoted null removal.
	  Fixes bug reported by Grisha Levit <grishalevit@gmail.com>
	- parameter_brace_patsub: when expanding ${*/pat/sub} in the case
	  where ifs_is_null != 0 and (pflags & PF_NOSPLIT2) (meaning we aren't
	  going to be doing word splitting), pass MATCH_ASSIGNRHS so we do
	  the right thing in this case. Part of a set of cases inspired by
	  Grisha Levit <grishalevit@gmail.com>
	- param_expand: case '*': if we are on the rhs of an assignment
	  (PF_ASSIGNRHS) and ifs is unset, and $1 == " ", we need to make sure
	  string_list_dollar_at gets called with Q_DOUBLE_QUOTES so it quotes
	  the positional parameters before joining them into a string with

	  same way we don't quote the result of parameter_list_transform,
	  since it will come back quoted.  Fixes bug reported by

subst.c
	- do_assignment_internal: if performing a compound assignment, make
	  sure to pass ASS_CHKLOCAL flag to do_compound_assignment if the
	  assignment word has the W_CHKLOCAL flag set
	- do_compound_assignment: honor ASS_CHKLOCAL flag and check for an
	  existing local variable before creating or modifying a global
	  variable

builtins/declare.def
	- declare_internal: new (undocumented so far) option: -G. Means to
	  act on global variables (create, modify) if no local variable is
	  found with the specified name
	- declare_find_variable: new declare-specific wrapper functon for
	  declare builtin; obeys -g and -G options in one place
	- declare_internal: if no variable is found after following any nameref
	  chain, look up the variable using declare_find_variable to honor the
	  -G option. XXX - so far, this is the only place that function is used

subst.c
	- shell_expand_word_list: before calling make_internal_declare, add
	  'G' to the options list if W_CHKLOCAL is set in the word's flags.
	  This makes builtins like `readonly' that modify local variables in
	  a function behave the same for scalar and array variables

	  feature

pcomplete.h
	- COPT_LASTUSER: last flag value used by user-settable completion
	  options
	- PCOMP_RETRYFAIL, PCOMP_NOTFOUND: new #defines, possible return values
	  from programmable_completions in FOUNDP argument. Moved RETRYFAIL
	  define here from pcomplete.c to avoid collisions with user-settable
	  option values (COPT_*)

				   1/15

pcomplete.c
	- programmable_completions: if we don't find any completions for a
	  command, and RETRY is 0, see if the command is a defined alias,
	  expand it, and try to expand the first word of the value as a
	  command, and find any programmable completions for it. Here right
	  now, could be moved to attempt_shell_completion later if we need
	  to do more analysis of the expanded line. We'll see how it works

	  _rl_last_c_pos if there are invisible characters in prompt lines
	  other than the first (we assume those invisible characters are in

lib/malloc/malloc.c

	  128K bytes (defined as MMAP_THRESHOLD and saved in the new
	  malloc_mmap_threshold variable) are now satisfied via mmap and
	  freed via munmap. We only use mmap if we have mmap and MAP_ANON
	  (or MAP_ANONYMOUS). These blocks are not available for splitting
	  or coalescing, so every request for 128K bytes or smaller is
	  satisfied via sbrk(). We don't use mremap for realloc yet, but
	  we could in the future

lib/malloc/mstats.h
	- malloc_stats: the malloc stats now include the number of calls to

	  of calls to munmap is captured in each bucket's lesscore count

lib/malloc/stats.c

bashline.c
	- pre_process_line: if command-oriented history is enabled, and the
	  line being expanded is the second or later in a multi-line command,
	  and we know the command is being saved as the current history entry,
	  decrease history_length before calling history_expand so references
	  like !! refer to the previous history entry as usual

lib/readline/histexpand.c
	- history_quoting_state: new variable, can be set by calling
	  application before calling history_expand to note that the string
	  being expanded is part of a quoted string. Can be set to a single
	  quote, a double quote, or 0 (no quoting)
	- history_expand: look at history_quoting_state and honor the
	  single-quote setting by not expanding any initial portion of the
	  line before the closing single quote. This allows history expansions
	  to be performed on a line containing a closing single quote if they
	  appear after the single quote

	  for abort()

hashlib.c,Makefile.in
	- fixes to make hash library testing work for others from
	  Eduardo Bustamante <dualbus@gmail.com>

lib/readline/unicode.c
	- u32toutf16: correct the second argument to be wchar_t *, and treat
	  it as such, even though it doesn't make a difference in practice.

builtins/return.def
	- return_builtin: return EX_USAGE if we're not executing a shell
	  function or sourcing a script, so a posix-mode shell exits. Fixes
	  bug reported by Robert Hailey <bash@osndok.com>

builtins/declare.def
	- declare_internal: don't let `declare -f +f' turn off the function
	  attribute. Fix from Grisha Levit <grishalevit@gmail.com>

bashline.c
	- completion_glob_pattern: new function, returns true if the passed
	  string contains a glob pattern that should be process by the glob
	  completion code. Completion glob patterns don't pay attention to
	  backslashes unless they're the last character in the string. This
	  is a different, more self-contained, fix for the problem reported
	  by Tom Ryder <tom@sanctum.geek.nz>

lib/glob/glob_loop.c
	- INTERNAL_GLOB_PATTERN_P: restore change from 4/27 and make this
	  function return non-zero if it encounters a backslash in the string.
	  It needs to match pathexp.c:unquoted_glob_pattern_p(). Adds fix
	  back for issue reported by axel@freakout.de

test.c
	- arithcomp: when calling evalexp, make sure to call it with the
	  EXP_EXPANDED flag, since all arguments here have been evaluated
	  already

arrayfunc.c
	- array_expand_index: call evalexp with EXP_EXPANDED flag, since we
	  have run the string through expand_arith_string already

				   1/11
				   ----
parser.h
	- PST_ENDALIAS: new state, means we just consumed the last character
	  of an alias expansion and returned the fake space

parse.y
	- shell_getc: add PST_ENDALIAS to parser_state before returning the
	  fake space that marks the end of the alias, making sure to do it
	  only once. With that set, fall through to the pop_string(), making
	  sure to unset PST_ENDALIAS. Fixes alias bug reported by
	  Ante Peric <synthmeat@gmail.com>

				   1/12
				   ----
lib/glob/glob.c
	- {extglob,wextglob}_skipname: make sure we check the rest of the
	  pattern if the extglob pattern is null, and therefore won't match
	  anything. If that is followed by a `.', quoted or unquoted, we can
	  match a leading `.' in the pathname. This code is currently not
	  active.

builtins/hash.def
	- hash_builtin: if -d is supplied without an argument, print an error
	  message and return failure, just like -t without an argument. Fixes
	  inconsistency reported by Dan Jacobson <jidanni@jidanni.org>

				   1/13
				   ----
parse.y
	- shell_getc: use shellblank when testing the last character of an
	  alias to determine whether or not to add a trailing space instead
	  of testing against a space only. These are the non-shell-metacharacters
	  that can delimit words. Used together with PST_ENDALIAS

				   1/17
				   ----
parse.y
	- shell_getc: keep track of whether the last character read from
	  shell_input_line is an unquoted backslash and don't add a space to
	  the end of an alias if the alias value ends in an unquoted backslash.

general.c

	  report by Andrey Butirsky <butirsky@gmail.com>

command.h
	- CMD_TRY_OPTIMIZING: new command flag, means this (simple) command is
	  a candidate for fork optimization (suppression)

builtins/evalstring.c
	- can_optimize_connection: new function, takes an AND_OR list (&& or
	  ||) from parse_and_execute, makes sure it's the last in a possibly
	  multi-command list, and returns non-zero if it's a simple command,
	  indicating that it's a candidate for fork optimization.
	- parse_and_execute: if we have a cm_connection command, call
	  can_optimize_connection to determine if it's a suitable candidate
	  and set CMD_TRY_OPTIMIZING if that returns non-zero
	- optimize_fork: don't bother unless the rhs of the && or || command
	  has the CMD_TRY_OPTIMIZING flag set. These fix the bug reported by
	  Brad Spencer <bspencer@blackberry.com>

execute_cmd.c
	- execute_connection: case AND_AND and OR_OR: call optimize_fork on
	  the right side of the command before executing `second'. This will
	  safely restore the fork optimization we removed from
	  parse_and_execute()

builtins/complete.def
	- build_actions: make sure the function name argument to -F is a
	  valid shell function name: it doesn't contain any invalid posix-
	  mode characters and doesn't contain any shell break characters that
	  would need to be quoted when defining a function. Fixes issue
	  reported by Great Big Dot <greatbigdot@gmail.com>

				   1/28
				   ----
variables.c
	- dispose_temporary_env: make sure to save temporary_env to a temp
	  pointer and set temporary_env to NULL before trying to dispose it,
	  so no flush function ever tries to add a temporary variable back
	  into the table (e.g., bind_variable())

				   1/29

examples/loadables/strftime.c
	- strftime_builtin: try to extend the buffer longer than tbsize*3,

lib/readline/undo.c
	- rl_do_undo: before inserting text while undoing UNDO_DELETE, or

subst.c
	- string_extract_double_quoted: if we parse a syntactically-incorrect
	  $( expression while extracting a double-quoted string, si will
	  appear to go `backward'. Just skip over the rest of the string and
	  continue. Fuzzing bug from Eduardo Bustamante <dualbus@gmail.com>

lib/readline/text.c
	- rl_change_case: if towupper or towlower returns a valid wide char
	  that can't be converted back to a valid multibyte character, use
	  the original character and go on. Fuzzing bug from
	  Eduardo Bustamante <dualbus@gmail.com>

lib/glob/glob.c
	- wdequote_pathname: if there are no multibyte characters in pathname,
	  just call udequote_pathname and don't bother converting it to wide
	  characters
	- glob_pattern_p: if there are no multibyte characters in the pattern,
	  just call internal_glob_pattern_p right away

lib/glob/glob_loop.c
	- INTERNAL_GLOB_PATTERN_P: return 2 if we see only backslash-quoted
	  characters without any other unquoted glob pattern characters, so
	  interested callers can shortcut and just dequote the pathname

pathexp.c
	- unquoted_glob_pattern_p: return 2 if we see only backslash-quoted
	  characters without any other unquoted glob pattern characters,
	  consistent with the glob library
	- unquoted_glob_pattern_p: don't count a backslash quoting a slash as
	  a backslash that will trigger a call to shell_glob_filename, since
	  backslashes at the end of patterns (pathname components) will always
	  fail to match. XXX - this is provisional

lib/glob/glob.c
	- glob_filename: if we have a directory name that has no unquoted
	  special glob chars, but has backslashes, just dequote it and return
	  it without going through the rest of the glob expansions. Partial

	  allows trailing spaces and everything that follows to work. Idea
	  from Bize Ma <binaryzebra@gmail.com>
	- rl_parse_and_bind: print error message about unknown variable names

bashline.c
	- edit_and_execute_command: add the current line buffer to the history
	  list even if it's empty and rely on other code in bash_add_history
	  to take care to not add multiple semicolons with multiple blank
	  lines and command_oriented_history. Live with the blank lines as

lib/readline/misc.c
	- _rl_revert_all_lines: renamed to _rl_revert_previous_lines, since
	  that is basically what it does
	- _rl_revert_all_lines: now just makes sure the history offset is at
	  the end of the history and calls _rl_revert_previous_lines. Inspired
	  by a suggestion from johnlinp@gmail.com

lib/readline/readline.c

	- update_line: try to take advantage of prompt_physical_chars when we

	- update_line: if the spot where the old and new lines are the same is

	  A command can set this up so that it gets executed like a
	  continuation before redisplay

lib/readline/readline.c
	- readline_internal_charloop: after _rl_dispatch returns, check
	  _rl_command_to_execute, and, if it's non-zero, redisplay and then
	  execute it as a command
	- added a small set of library-private functions for managing the
	  executing key sequence (not used yet)

lib/readline/isearch.c
	- _rl_isearch_dispatch: if we have found an opcode or have added a
	  character to the search string and searched for it, reset the keymap
	  and okeymap members of the search context in preparation for reading
	  another key sequence/opcode
	- _rl_isearch_dispatch: if we read a key sequence bound to an editing
	  command that is not an `opcode', set up _rl_command_to_execute to
	  execute it after the searching returns and arrange to break out of
	  the search
	- _rl_isearch_dispatch: if we paste in text from bracketed paste, set
	  the mark as active so we can highlight it when we display the search
	  string
	- _rl_isearch_dispatch: if we've found the search string, activate the
	  mark and set rl_point and rl_mark so the search string is highlighted
	  when we display the search results

lib/readline/search.c

	  an ESC, try to see if we have a bracketed paste op and insert the
	  pasted next. If we don't, go on with the ESC
	- _rl_nsearch_dosearch: experimental code to highlight the search string
	  when displaying the line found in the history. Only done when we are
	  not searching for a pattern, since we don't have information on the
	  end of the matching portion of the line. Experimental because it
	  changes where we put point and mark if searching is successful

expr.c
	- expr_streval: if find_variable for the case where the string is not
	  an array reference doesn't find anything, see if we can find
	  something by using find_variable_last_nameref and use the value
	  from there in the call to expr_streval, kind of using the expression

subst.c
	- shell_expand_word_list: take out change from 3/17 to pass -I to
	  make_internal_declare; it generates errors the user will find
	  confusing if there is a variable with the same name but a different
	  type at a previous scope
	- shell_expand_word_list: check for and note whether or not -I is
	  supplied to the declaration command, since it changes the default
	  behavior of a compound assignment without -a or -A
	- shell_expand_word_list: if we have a compound assignment that is an
	  argument to a declaration command, but there are no options supplied
	  to the command that determine the type of the array, make sure we
	  call make_internal_declare with either -a (no localvar_inherit or -I)

subst.c
	- expand_compound_assignment_word: helper function for
	  expand_declaration_argument: takes NAME[+]=( VALUE ), converts VALUE
	  to a list of words, then single-quotes each word and reconstructs
	  the original word. This assumes the result will go to
	  do_word_assignment, which will remove the single quotes
	- expand_oneword: helper function for expand_compound_assignment_word,
	  takes VALUE and performs the splitting into words, and then the
	  expansion and single-quoting of each individual word. Indexed and
	  associative arrays take different code paths, because they undergo
	  different expansions and associative arrays need special handling to
	  avoid having to scan for the end of the subscript multiple times
	- expand_declaration_argument: call expand_compound_assignment_word to

execute_cmd.c
	- execute_simple_command: use new variable `cmdflags' instead of using
	  simple_command->flags directly; initialize from simple_command->flags
	- check_command_builtin: take a simple command list of words starting
	  with `command' and including a command_word argument, and peel off
	  the `command' and any instances of `-p' and `--' and return the
	  updated list
	- execute_simple_command: if the first word of the simple command is
	  `command', call check_command_builtin to peel off any `command' and
	  `-p' and `--' and go on to execute the rest of the words as a simple
	  command. If we're in posix mode, we've got the special builtins
	  handled before this runs. Fixes complaint about `command' in the

lib/glob/smatch.c
	- charcmp_wc: split off code that calls wcscoll from rangecmp_wc,
	  just return the results of wcscoll
	- rangecmp_wc: call charcmp_wc and impose a total ordering
	  by performing a byte comparison (or wint_t comparison) of C1 and C2
	  as required by Posix interp 948 (charcmp_wc takes care of the
	  behavior of FORCECOLL)

lib/readline/signals.c
	- _rl_handle_signal: since we're not called in a signal handler context
	  any more, we don't need to explicitly unblock the signal we received
	  so the application's signal handler will get it when we resend the
	  signal to ourselves. It doesn't hurt anything to do it, but we don't
	  have to
	- _rl_handle_signal: Set up a framework for any signals that need to
	  be blocked during cleanup: add the signal to SET (initialized to the
	  existing set of blocked signals) and set BLOCK_SIG to 1. We block
	  that set around the call to rl_cleanup_after_signal().
	- _rl_handle_signal: on AIX, if the signal is SIGHUP, make sure we
	  block SIGHUP while running rl_cleanup_after_signal()

builtins/set.def
	- set_current_options: only call change_flag or SET_BINARY_O_OPTION_VALUE

subst.c
	- unlink_all_fifos: new function, just unconditionally closes and

	  There is an open to unblock any child processes sleeping on the
	  FIFO first. Inspired by a suggestion from "CHIGOT, CLEMENT"

command.h
	- PF_ALLINDS: new flag, means to expand an array variable name without
	  a subscript as if it were subscripted by `@' instead of `0'

subst.c
	- parameter_brace_expand_word: if PFLAGS contains PF_ALLINDS, expand
	  an array variable name as if it were subscripted by "@" instead of
	  0/"0": a string with the element values separated by " ". Little
	  nuance; we're just interested in whether or not there are any
	  values at all
	- parameter_brace_expand: if we are expanding something like ${foo@a},
	  pass PF_ALLINDS to parameter_brace_expand_word and
	  parameter_brace_expand_indir so we don't get tripped up on `nounset'
	  if foo has an assigned subscript other than 0/"0". Inspired by a

	- rl_complete_internal,rl_menu_complete : if show-all-if-unmodified is
	  set, use compare_match instead of a straight strcmp to determine if

builtins/fc.def
	- fc_gethnum: now takes a flags word as the third argument, with two
	  current flag values: HN_LISTING, which means we are listing history
	  entries, and HN_FIRST, which means we are parsing the first in a
	  first,last range of history entries
	- fc_gethnum: if we have a number >= 0, and it's out of range, return
	  different values (0 or last history) depending on whether we are
	  parsing the first or last in a range argument. Based on a report from
	  Martijn Dekker <martijn@inlv.org>

bashline.c

	  free that command string before returning. Report and fix from
	  Koichi Murase <myoga.murase@gmail.com>

array.[ch]
	- array_to_argv: now takes a second argument: COUNTP; returns the number
	  of elements stored in the strvec
	- array_to_argv: don't store array elements with null values; it makes
	  it hard for callers to walk the whole array reliably

pcomplete.c
	- gen_shell_function_matches: change call to array_to_argv

array.h
	- execute_array_command: now takes the entire ARRAY * as the first
	  parameter

eval.c
	- execute_array_command: now takes the entire array, puts the elements
	  into a strvec, and executes each element of the strvevc as a command.
	  This protects against a command from PROMPT_COMMAND[n] unsetting the
	  corresponding element of PROMPT_COMMAND.

sig.c
	- sigint_sighandler: call set_trap_state to set the pending trap state

builtins/trap.def
	- trap_builtin: if the shell is interactive (interactive_shell != 0)
