-builtins/reserved.def
-	- fix description of `CDPATH'
-
-lib/readline/display.c
-	- when expanding a prompt that spans multiple lines with embedded

+				   2/16
 				   ----
-bashline.c
-	- small changes to glob_expand_word to perform tilde expansion before
-	  attempting globbing
-
-builtins/Makefile.in
-	- fix the install-help target to not cd into the `helpfiles'
-	  subdirectory, so a value of $INSTALL_DATA containing a relative
-	  pathname (e.g., .././support/install.sh) remains valid
+subst.h
+	- new string extract flag value: SX_WORD.  Used when calling
+	  extract_dollar_brace_string to skip over the word in
+	  ${param op word} from parameter_brace_expand
 
-				   7/31
-				   ----
 subst.c
-	- new function, mbstrlen(s), returns length of a multibyte character
-	  string
+	- change parameter_brace_expand to add SX_WORD to flags passed to
+	  extract_dollar_brace_string
+	- change parameter_brace_expand to use SX_POSIXEXP for all non-posix
+	  word expansion operators that treat single quotes as special, not
+	  just % and #
+	- change extract_dollar_brace_string to initialize dolbrace_state to
+	  DOLBRACE_WORD if SX_WORD flag supplied and we shouldn't use
+	  DOLBRACE_QUOTE.  Fixes bug reported by Juergen Daubert <jue@jue.li>
 
-include/shmbutil.h
-	- new macro, MB_STRLEN(s), calls mbstrlen or STRLEN as appropriate
+doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
+	- document the exact expansions here strings undergo
 
-builtins/trap.def
-	- small change so that a first argument that's a valid signal number
-	  (digits only -- no symbolic names) will be treated as a signal and
-	  reverted back to the original handling disposition.  Fixes debian
-	  complaints
+				   2/17
+				   ----
+lib/readline/vi_mode.c
+	- make sure that `dd', `cc', and `yy' call vidomove_dispatch from
+	  rl_domove_read_callback.  Fixes bug reported by Clark Wang
+	  <dearvoid@gmail.com>
 
-subst.c
-	- call MB_STRLEN instead of STRLEN where appropriate in
-	  parameter_brace_expand_length to handle multibyte characters properly
-	- call MB_STRLEN instead of strlen in verify_substring_values so that
-	  negative substrings of strings with multibyte chars work properly
+lib/readline/callback.c
+	- make sure _rl_internal_char_cleanup is called after the
+	  vi-motion callbacks (rl_vi_domove_callback) in rl_callback_read_char.
+	  Companion to above fix
 
-				    8/1
-				    ---
-jobs.c
-	- describe_pid needs to write to stderr, not stdout (POSIX)
-	- start_job, since it's only used by builtins (fg/bg), needs to write
-	  its output to stdout, not stderr (POSIX)
+doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
+	- make sure that the text describing the rhs of the == and =~
+	  operators to [[ states that only the quoted portion of the pattern
+	  is matched as a string
 
-sig.c
-	- add an `orig_flags' member to struct terminating_signal so the
-	  original signal handling flags (SA_RESTART, etc.) can be preserved
-	  on POSIX systems
-	- make sure to preserve the signal flags state in
-	  initialize_terminating_signals and reset them for child processes
-	  in reset_terminating_signals
+				   2/18
+				   ----
+lib/glob/gmisc.c
+	- better fix for umatchlen/wmatchlen: keep track of the number of
+	  characters in a bracket expression as the value to increase
+	  matchlen by if the bracket expression is not well-formed.  Fixes
+	  bug reported by Clark Wang <dearvoid@gmail.com>
 
-builtins/fc.def
-	- fixed an off-by-one error that caused `fc -l' to list one too many
-	  history entries
-	- in posix mode, `fc' should not list any indication as to whether or
-	  not history lines have been modified (POSIX)
-	- when in posix mode, the default editor for `fc' should be `ed' (POSIX)
+subst.c
+	- change expand_string_for_rhs so that it sets the W_NOSPLIT2 flag
+	  in the word flags.  We will not perform word splitting or quote
+	  removal on the result, so we do not want to add quoted nulls if
+	  we see "" or ''.  Fixes bug reported by Mike Frysinger
+	  <vapier@gentoo.org>
 
-doc/bashref.texi
-	- updated the description of `trap' behavior when given a first
-	  argument that is a valid signal number
-	- noted that `fc -l' won't indicate whether a history entry has been
-	  modified if the shell is in posix mode
+				   2/19
+				   ----
+variables.c
+	- new function, int chkexport(name), checks whether variable NAME is
+	  exported and remakes the export environment if necessary.  Returns
+	  1 if NAME is exported and 0 if not
+	- call chkexport(name) to get tzset to look at the right variable in
+	  the environment when modifying TZ in sv_tz.  Don't call tzset if
+	  chkexport doesn't indicate that the variable is exported
 
-builtins/command.def
-	- fixed bug: `command -v' is supposed to be silent if a command is not
-	  found
+variables.h
+	- new extern declaration for chkexport
 
-builtins/hash.def
-	- `hash' should print its `hash table empty' message to stderr
 
-lib/readline/misc.c
-	- back out 7/7 change to _rl_maybe_save_line; it breaks emacs-mode ^P
+{parse.y,builtins/printf.def}
+	- call sv_tz before calling localtime() when formatting time strings
+	  in prompt strings or using printf.  Fixes bug reported by
+	  Dennis Williamson <dennistwilliamson@gmail.com>
 
-general.c
-	- changed base_pathname so that it will return reasonable results for
-	  non-absolute pathnames -- this is what is intended by all of its
-	  callers
+execute_cmd.c
+	- modify fix of 2/9 to add casts when those variables are passed to
+	  functions; some compilers throw errors instead of warnings.  Report
+	  and fix from Joachim Schmitz <jojo@schmitz-digital.de>
 
-arrayfunc.c
-	- fix array_variable_part to return NULL if it finds an invisible
-	  variable in the hash table.  Fixes seg fault caused by referring to
-	  unset local variable using array notation
+support/shobj-conf
+	- add a stanza for nsk on the Tandem from Joachim Schmitz
+	  <jojo@schmitz-digital.de>
 
-{locale,variables}.c
-	- support LC_TIME as a special locale variable so HISTTIMEFORMAT tracks
-	  the current locale
+{shell,lib/readline/shell}.c
+	- Tandem systems should use getpwnam (getlogin()); for some reason
+	  they don't do well with using getuid().  Fix from Joachim Schmitz
+	  <jojo@schmitz-digital.de>
 
-				    8/2
+				    3/1
 				    ---
 variables.c
-	- fixed small memory leak in makunbound() when a local array variable
-	  is unset.  Fix from William Park
-
-lib/readline/display.c
-	- fixed a problem when computing the number of invisible characters on
-	  the first line of a prompt whose length exceeds the screen width
-	  (should only happen when invisible characters occur after the
-	  line wrap).  Bug reported by agriffis@gentoo.org
+	- make sure that the return value from find_variable is non-null
+	  before trying to use it in chkexport.  Fixes bug reported by
+	  Evangelos Foutras <foutrelis@gmail.com>
 
-builtins/command.def
-	- `command -V' passes a new flag, CDESC_ABSPATH, which means to convert
-	  to an absolute path
-
-builtins/type.def
-	- in posix mode, `type' and `command -v/-V' should not report
-	  non-executable files, even if the execution code will attempt to
-	  run them.  Other posix shells do this
-
-doc/bashref.texi
-	- add note to POSIX Mode section describing behavior of type and command
-	  when finding a non-executable file
-
-execute_cmd.c
-	- force extended_glob to 1 before calling binary_test in
-	  execute_cond_node so that the right extended pattern matching gets
-	  performed
-
-				    8/3
+				    3/3
 				    ---
-braces.c
-	- make sure lhs[0] and rhs[0] are cast to `unsigned char' so chars
-	  with values > 128 are handled correctly
-
-builtins/printf.def
-	- change bexpand() and printstr() to handle strings with a leading
-	  '\0' whose length is non-zero, since that's valid input for the
-	  `%b' format specifier
-
-subst.c
-	- fix a couple of instances of find_variable that didn't check the
-	  result for an invisible variable
+parse.y
+	- when adding $$ to the current token buffer in read_token_word(),
+	  don't xmalloc a buffer for two characters and then strcpy it, just
+	  copy the characters directly into the token buffer.  Fix from
+	  Michael Whitten <mfwitten@gmail.com>
 
-variables.c
-	- BASH_ARGC, BASH_ARGV, BASH_SOURCE, BASH_LINENO no longer created as
-	  invisible vars
+execute_cmd.c
+	- fix expand_word_unsplit to add the W_NOSPLIT2 flag to the word to
+	  be expanded, so "" doesn't add CTLNUL.  Similar to fix of 2/18 to
+	  expand_string_for_rhs.  Fixes bug reported by Nathanael D. Noblet
+	  <nathanael@gnat.ca> and Matthias Klose <doko@debian.org>
 
-pcomplete.c
-	- make sure COMP_WORDS is not invisible when bind_comp_words returns
-	- ditto for COMPREPLY in gen_shell_function_matches
+parse.y
+	- fix extended_glob case of read_token_word to allocate an extra
+	  space in the buffer for the next character read after the extended
+	  glob specification if it's a CTLESC or CTLNUL.  Report and fix from
+	  Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>
+	- fix shell expansions case of read_token_word to allocate an extra
+	  space in the buffer for the next character read after the shell
+	  expansion if it's a CTLESC or CTLNUL.  Report and fix from
+	  Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>
+	- TENTATIVE: fix read_token_word to reduce the amount of buffer space
+	  required to hold the translated and double-quoted value of $"..."
+	  strings.  Report and fix from Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>
+	- change code around got_character and got_escaped_character labels to
+	  make sure that we call RESIZE_MALLOCED_BUFFER before adding the
+	  CTLESC before a CTLESC or CTLNUL, and before adding the character if
+	  we're not adding a CTLESC.  Report and fix from
+	  Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>
+
+subst.c
+	- new param flags value, PF_ASSIGNRHS, mirrors W_ASSIGNRHS, noting that
+	  parameter expansion is on rhs of assignment statement.  That inhibits
+	  word splitting
+	- change param_expand to call string_list_dollar_at with quoted == 1
+	  if PF_ASSIGNRHS is set, so it will quote IFS characters in the
+	  positional parameter before separating them with the first char of
+	  $IFS.  This keeps the rhs from being split inappropriately.  Fixes
+	  bug reported by Andres Perera <andres.p@zoho.com>

 				    ---
-braces.c
-	- fix problem where ${ was ignored but did not increment the open
-	  brace count.  Bug reported by Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
-
-variables.c
-	- if make_local_variable finds a variable in the correct context in
-	  the right variable scope, make sure it's not invisible before
-	  returning it
+lib/readline/bind.c
+	- add a missing free of `names' in rl_function_dumper.  Bug report
+	  and fix from Michael Snyder <msnyder@vmware.com>
 
-				    8/5
+				    3/5
 				    ---
-builtins/trap.def
-	- fixed usage message to show `action' as not optional, though it
-	  actually is when not in posix mode (for a single argument)
+lib/readline/rltty.c
+	- change rl_deprep_terminal so it uses fileno (stdin) for the tty fd
+	  if rl_instream is not set, like rl_prep_terminal
 
-				    8/7
+				    3/6
 				    ---
-configure.in
-	- kfreebsd-gnu has had its sbrk() problems fixed, and no longer needs
-	  to be configured --without-gnu-malloc
+lib/readline/display.c
+	- fix rl_message to use a dynamically-allocated buffer instead of a
+	  fixed-size buffer of 128 chars for the `local message prompt'.  Bug
+	  report and fix from Micah Cowan <micah@cowan.name>
 
-lib/readline/vi_mode.c
-	- in rl_vi_search, free any saved history line before starting the
-	  search, so failure leaves you at that line, not the last line in
-	  the history (assuming the current line is not the last history line).
-	  Fix from llattanzi@apple.com to replace fix of 7/7
+				    3/7
+				    ---
+jobs.c
+	- add sentinel to wait_sigint_handler so it only sets wait_sigint_received
+	  if waiting_for_child is non-zero; otherwise, it restores the old
+	  SIGINT handler and sends itself the SIGINT
+	- set waiting_for_child around the calls to waitchld that use it to
+	  synchronously wait for a process
+	- change logic that decides whether or not the child process blocked
+	  or handled SIGINT based on whether or not waitpid returns -1/EINTR
+	  and the shell receives a SIGINT and the child does not exit.  If
+	  the child later exits due to SIGINT, cancel the assumoption that it
+	  was handled
+	- instead of testing whether or not the child exited due to SIGINT
+	  when deciding whether the shell should act on a SIGINT it received
+	  while waiting, test whether or not we think the child caught
+	  SIGINT.  If it did, we let it go (unless the shell has it trapped);
+	  if it did not catch it, the shell acts on the SIGINT.  Fix from
+	  Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>, bug report originally
+	  from Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
 
-				    8/9
+				    3/8
 				    ---
-support/Makefile.in
-	- renamed `mostly-clean' target to `mostlyclean'
+shell.c
+	- initialize no_line_editing to 1 if READLINE is not defined -- we
+	  can't have line editing without readline
 
-				   8/11
+				   3/12
 				   ----
-lib/readline/vi_mode.c
-	- make same change for EOL in multibyte character case of
-	  rl_vi_change_char
+lib/readline/signals.c
+	- add SIGHUP to the set of signals readline handles
 
-				   8/12
-				   ----
-subst.c
-	- in verify_substring_values, fix off-by-one error checking bounds of
-	  `offset', esp. in array values (e.g., getting the highest element
-	  of an array)
+lib/readline/doc/rltech.texi
+	- document that SIGHUP is now part of the set of signals readline
+	  handles
 
-				   8/16
-				   ----
-aclocal.m4
-	- change BASH_CHECK_DEV_FD to make sure that file descriptors > 2 are
-	  accessible via /dev/fd, unlike FreeBSD 5.x
+lib/readline/input.c
+	- if _rl_caught_signal indicates that read() was interrupted by a
+	  SIGHUP or SIGTERM, return READERR or EOF as appropriate
+	- call rl_event_hook, if it's set, if call to read in rl_getc
+	  returns -1/EINTR.  If rl_event_hook doesn't do anything, this
+	  continues the loop as before.  This handles the other fatal
+	  signals
 
-lib/sh/strftime.c
-	- make sure `zone' is initialized with gettimeofday before it is used
-	- work around HPUX lack of `altzone' and differing definitions of
-	  `timezone'
+execute_cmd.c
+	- add a couple of QUIT; calls to execute_disk_command and
+	  execute_simple_command to improve responsiveness to interrupts
+	  and fatal signals
 
-lib/malloc/malloc.c
-	- internal_memalign and memalign now take a `size_t' as their first
-	  argument, which seems to be the prevailing standard
+input.c
+	- rearrange getc_with_restart so that the return values from read()
+	  are handled right
 
-lib/malloc/{malloc.c,shmalloc.h}
-	- change sh_memalign to take a `size_t' as its first argument
+parse.y
+	- don't need to set terminate_immediately in yy_stream_get, since
+	  getc_with_restart checks for terminating signals itself
+	- since readline returns READERR on SIGHUP or SIGTERM, don't need
+	  to set terminate_immediately.  Still doesn't handle other
+	  signals well -- will have to check that some more
 
-builtins/echo.def
-	- if posixly_correct and xpg_echo are both set, don't try to interpret
-	  any arguments at all, as POSIX/XOPEN requires (fix inspired by Paul
-	  Eggert)
+bashline.c
+	- new function, bash_event_hook, for rl_event_hook.  Just checks for
+	  terminating signals and acts on them using CHECK_TERMSIG.
+	- set rl_event_hook to bash_event_hook
 
-doc/bashref.texi
-	- amend description of bash posix mode to include new echo behavior
+builtins/read.def
+	- take out setting terminate_immediately; add calls to CHECK_TERMSIG
+	  after read calls
 
-builtins/fg_bg.def
-	- allow bg to take multiple job arguments, as posix seems to specify,
-	  placing them all in the background, returning the status of the last
-	  one as the status of `bg'
+doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
+	- move the text describing the effect of negative subscripts used to
+	  reference indexed array elements to the paragraphs describing
+	  ${parameter[subscript]}, since that's where they are implemented.
+	  Pointed out by Christopher F. A. Johnson <cfajohnson@gmail.com>
 
-lib/readline/vi_mode
-	- fix _rl_vi_change_mbchar_case (multibyte-char version of `~'
-	  command) to have the right behavior at EOL -- handle case where vi
-	  mode backs up at the end of the line
+arrayfunc.[ch],subst.c
+	- array_expand_index now takes a new first argument: a SHELL_VAR *
+	  of the array variable being subscripted.  Can be used later to fully
+	  implement negative subscripts
 
-				   8/18
+				   3/14
 				   ----
-array.c
-	- check for an empty array in array_rshift before shifting elements
-	  and adjusting max_index
-	- check for null array in array_subrange
+lib/glob/glob.c
+	- fix mbskipname to not turn the directory entry name into a wide char
+	  string if the conversion of the pattern to a wide char string fails
+	- fix mbskipname to call skipname if either the pattern or the filename
+	  can't be converted into a wide-char string
 
-jobs.c
-	- fix raw_job_exit_status to not ignore exit status of the last
-	  process in the pipeline when `set -o pipefail' is enabled
+lib/glob/xmbsrtowcs.c
+	- fix xdupmbstowcs2 to handle return value of 0 from mbsnrtowcs and
+	  short-circuit with failure in that case.  Fixes bug reported by
+	  Roman Rakus <rrakus@redhat.com>
 
-				   8/19
+				   3/15
 				   ----
-lib/readline/mbutil.c
-	- make sure _rl_find_next_mbchar_internal has a valid multibyte

-	  wide character and adjusts point accordingly
-

-                                   ----
 bashline.c
-        - new function, bash_directory_expansion, duplicates the expansions
-          performed on the directory name by rl_filename_completion_function
-        - call bash_directory_expansion in command_word_completion_function
-          if we decide we're doing tilde expansion (and any other

-configure.in
-        - use new-style AC_CHECK_HEADER to check for sys/ptem.h (which requires

 				   ----
-builtins/hash.def
-	- fix a bug that prevented `hash -d' from working right (as soon as
-	  hash removed a command from the table, the bug caused it to be added
-	  right back)
+lib/glob/glob.c
+	- wdequote_pathname falls back to udequote_pathname if xdupmbstowcs

-				   8/27
+lib/glob/xmbsrtowcs.c
+	- xdupmbstowcs2: change to fix problem with leading '\\' (results in
+	  nms == 0, which causes it to short-circuit with failure right
+	  away).  Fixes bug pointed out by Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
+	- xdupmbstowcs2: compensate for mbsnrtowcs returning 0 by taking the
+	  next single-byte character and going on
+	- xdupmbstowcs2: change memory allocation to increase by WSBUF_INC
+	  bytes; try to avoid calls to realloc (even if they don't actually
+	  result in more memory being allocated)

 doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}
-	- explicitly note that conditional primaries that operate on files

-lib/readline/display.c
-	- fix multibyte calculation of `physchars' in prompt expansion, to
-	  handle double-width multibyte characters correctly
-	- changes to rl_redisplay to handle prompts longer than the screenwidth
-	  that might contain double-width multibyte characters.  Fixes from
-	  Tomohiro Kubota
-
-				    9/6
-				    ---
-subst.c
-	- change word_list_split to avoid really bad behavior caused by calling
-	  list_append for each split word -- as the list gets long, you have
-	  to traverse it every time.  Keep a pointer to the end of the list and
-	  and just tack onto it

-lib/readline/complete.c
-	- change fnprint to calculate the displayed width of a filename in
-	  the same way as fnwidth
-
-subst.c
-	- in verify_substring_values, when expanding ${array[@]:offset}, make
-	  sure negative offsets count from one greater than the array's
-	  maximum index so things like ${x[@}: -1} work to give the last element
-	  (requires fixing array tests)
-
-builtins/common.c
-	- new error function, sh_wrerror(),  for builtins to call when a write
-	  error occurs
-
-builtins/common.h
-	- extern declaration for sh_wrerror()
-
-builtins/cd.def
-	- change builtin_error call to use sh_wrerror()
-
-builtins/echo.def
-	- report write errors with sh_wrerror() instead of just returning
-	  failure
+trap.c
+	- change free_trap_strings to not call free_trap_string for signals
+	  that are being ignored, like reset_or_restore_signal_handlers.
+	  Fixes bug reported by Satoshi Takahashi <blue3waters@gmail.com>
 
-builtins/printf.def
-	- change printstr to return failure (-1) or success (0) indication

+lib/readline/bind.c

+	  better or worse).  Fixes problem with string variables not matching
+	  in `set' command if values happen to have trailing spaces or tabs

+	- mkseq: don't allow incr to be converted to -INTMAX_MIN
+	- mkseq: make sure that strvec_create isn't called with a size argument

+	  characters.  Fixed in two places
+	- prompt_modechar: return a character indicating the editing mode:
+	  emacs (@), vi command (:), or vi insert (+)
+	- _rl_reset_prompt: new function, just calls rl_expand_prompt.  Will be
+	  inlined, placeholder for more changes
+	- expand_prompt: if show-mode-in-prompt is enabled, add a character to

+	  various variables as appropriate to keep track of the number of
+	  visible characters and number of screen positions
 
-builtins/printf.def
-	- change calls to asprintf and manually adding to vbuf to use calls

+redir.c
+	- redirection_expand, write_here_string, write_here_document: before
+	  calling any of the word expansion functions, after setting
+	  expanding_redir to 1 (which bypasses the temp environment in the
+	  variable lookup functions), call sv_ifs to reset the cached IFS-
+	  related variables set by subst.c:setifs().  This ensures that
+	  redirections will not get any IFS values that are set in the
+	  temporary environment, as Posix specifies.  Then, after the word
+	  expansions, after resetting expanding_redir to 0, call sv_ifs
+	  again to make sure the cached IFS values are set from any
+	  assignments in the temporary environment.  We force executing_builtin
+	  to 1 to `fool' the variable lookup functions into using any temp
+	  environment, then reset it to its old value after sv_ifs returns.
+	  This is what allows read() to use the (cached) IFS variables set
+	  in the temp environment. Fixes inconsistency reported by Dan Douglas

-builtins/read.def
-	- if read times out, make sure we remove the top element from the
-	  unwind-protect stack (the free of input_string) and run the rest,
-	  to reset the tty and readline and alarm states.  Then we jump to
-	  assigning the variables to any partial input.  Fixes bug reported

-parse.y
-	- break comment checking code into a common COMMENT_BEGIN define so
-	  we can use it in multiple places in parse_comsub
-	- in parse_comsub, don't alter the LEX_RESWDOK flag if we read a
-	  `#' and we're checking comments, even though `#' isn't a `shell break'
-	  character.  Fixes bug reported by Mike Frysinger  <vapier@gentoo.org>
+doc/bashref.texi
+	- Fixed most of the examples in the GNU Parallel section to use better
+	  shell idioms following complaints on bug-bash; added a couple of
+	  examples and smoothed out the text
 
-braces.c
-	- in expand_seqterm, decrease the total length of the rhs by the length
-	  of any (optional) increment, so we don't end up with unwanted zero
-	  padding because the rhs length is wrong.  Fixes bug reported by
-	  Carl Albing <albing@comcast.net>
+quit.h
+	- include "sig.h" for sig_atomic_t
+
+lib/readline/display.c
+	- update_line: when inserting one or more characters at the end of
+	  the display line in a non-multibyte environment, just write from the
+	  first difference to the end of the line and return. We don't have
+	  to adjust _rl_last_c_pos.  This is needed to adjust from the old

-	  not a break character.  Keep track of word length (reset to 0
-	  when we turn on LEX_INWORD when it was off).
-	- don't use COMMENT_BEGIN in parse_comsub any more; test
-	  whether or not LEX_INWORD is set and lex_wlen == 0 in addition
-	  to tests for LEX_RESWDOK and lex_rwlen.  Comments are valid
-	  when at the start of a word
-	- move LEX_PASSNEXT code to the top of parse_comsub, so the rest

+
 parse.y
-	- in parse_comsub, when looking for a reserved word (LEX_RESWDOK
-	  non-zero), and in a case statement, we can see either an esac
-	  or a pattern list.  We handle an esac separately.  We should
-	  turn off LEX_RESWDOK if we see anything but a newline, since
-	  we'll be reading a pattern list.  Other part of fix for bug
-	  reported by Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> (rest of fix

-	  perform alias expansion.  Fix for bug reported by Vincent
-	  Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.org> (2/24/2009)
-
-parser.h
-	- add PST_REDIRLIST flag, notes that parser is currently parsing a

-make_cmd.c
-	- make_simple_command now turns on PST_REDIRLIST in parser_state when
-	  creating a new simple command

-
-subst.c
-	- new flag for param_expand: PF_IGNUNBOUND, means to not exit if the
-	  variable is unbound even if `set -u' is enabled
-	- change param_expand to not call err_unboundvar if the `pflags'
-	  argument has the PF_IGNUNBOUND bit set
-	- parameter_brace_expand_word now takes an extra `pflags' argument to
-	  pass down to param_expand; changed callers
-	- changed call to parameter_brace_expand_word in parameter_brace_expand
-	  to add PF_IGNUNBOUND flag so ${@:-foo} doesn't cause the shell to
-	  exit (but ${@} does) when there are no positional parameters.  Fixes

-	  <stephane_chazelas@yahoo.fr>
-	- param_expand now checks for Q_PATQUOTE and treats it identically
-	  to Q_DOUBLE_QUOTES when expanding $*
-	- expand_word_unsplit now sets W_NOSPLIT in the flags of the word it
-	  passes to expand_word_internal if $IFS is NULL
-	- expand_word_leave_quoted now sets expand_no_split_dollar_star and
-	  the W_NOSPLIT bit in the word flags before calling
-	  expand_word_internal if $IFS is NULL, just like expand_word_unsplit.
-	  It is now virtually identical to expand_word_unsplit.  Rest of fix for

-builtins/fc.def
-	- Even though command substitution through parse_and_execute turns

-bashline.c
-	- in bash_dequote_filename, return right away after copying the

-subst.c
-	- in pat_subst.c, make sure to copy one character from the input
-	  string in the case of a null pattern match, since we substitute
-	  on the null match and then increment past the current character.

+sig.c
+	- sigint_sighandler: if we get a SIGINT (and this signal handler is
+	  installed) while the wait builtin is running, note that we received
+	  it in the same way as jobs.c:wait_sigint_handler and return.  The
+	  various wait_for functions will look for that with CHECK_WAIT_INTR.
+	  This fixes the wait builtin not being interruptible in an interactive
+	  job control shell

-arrayfunc.c
-	- free `akey', the word-expanded index into the assoc array to avoid
-	  mem leak in array_value_internal
-	- free index into assoc array in unbind_array_element
-	- change array_value_internal to take an additional argument: an

-print_cmd.c
-	- when printing here-string redirections, don't quote the string.  The

-	  requoted.  Fixes bug reported by Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis
-	  <arfrever.fta@gmail.com>
+trap.c
+	- set_signal_hard_ignored: rename set_signal_ignored to this, since it
+	  both sets original_signals[sig] and sets the HARD_IGNORE flag
+	- set_signal_ignored: new function, now just sets original_signals[sig]
 
-subst.c
-	- fix array_length_reference to return 0 for variables that have not

-arrayfunc.[ch]
-	- change array_value to take a new arrayind_t *indp parameter like

+sig.c
+	- initialize_terminating_signals: call set_signal_hard_ignored instead
+	  of set_signal_ignored for signals with disposition SIG_IGN when the
+	  shell starts
 
-subst.c
-	- changed callers of array_value to add extra parameter
+execute_cmd.c
+	- setup_async_signals: make sure we get the original dispositions for
+	  SIGINT and SIGQUIT before starting the subshell, and don't call
+	  set_signal_ignored  because that sets original_signals[sig].  If we
+	  don't, subsequent attempts to reset handling using trap will fail
+	  because it thinks the original dispositions were SIG_IGN. Posix
+	  interpretation 751 (http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=751)
+
+				 1/2/2014
+				 --------
+lib/sh/stringvec.c
+	- strvec_mcreate, strvec_mresize: versions of create and resize that
+	  use malloc and realloc, respectively, instead of xmalloc/xrealloc
 
-expr.c
-	- change expr_streval to set a new `lvalue' parameter with information
-	  about the string being evaluated: string, value, array index (if
-	  any), variable evaluated (if set).
-	- saving and restoring current context now saves and restores the
-	  current `lvalue'
-	- new function expr_bind_array_element, binds an array element with an
-	  already-computed index to a specified value
-	- anywhere we set the current token to a string (STR), save and set
-	  the current lvalue
-	- change calls to expr_bind_variable to check whether or not the
-	  current lvalue indicates an indexed array was evaluated, and, if so,
-	  call expr_bind_array_element using the already-computed index
-	  (curlval.ind).  Fixes problems with dynamic variables (e.g., RANDOM)
-	  in array indices with {pre,post}-{inc,dec}rement and op=
-	  operators reported by <dennis@netstrata.com>
+braces.c
+	- expand_amble,mkseq: use strvec_mcreate/strvec_mresize so we can
+	  catch and handle memory allocation failures instead of aborting
+	  with the xmalloc/xrealloc interface
 
-				   1/25
-				   ----
-expr.c
-	- fix subexpr() to initialize curlval and lastlval when resetting all

-builtins/setattr.def
-	- in show_var_attributes, if the variable is not set (value == 0),
-	  don't print `name=""', just print `name'.  Pointed out by

+lib/sh/itos.c
+	- mitos: new function, itos that uses strdup instead of savestring
 
-arrayfunc.c
-	- fix array_keys to return NULL if the variable is not set or

-	- change array_value_internal to return NULL for variable which has
-	  not been set
+externs.h
+	- strvec_mcreate/strvec_mresize: new extern declarations

-				   1/30
-				   ----
-bashline.c
-	- in command_word_completion_function, don't call glob_pattern_p
-	  on hint -- use the already-computed `globpat'.  At this point,
-	  hint might contain an already-dequoted globbing character, but
-	  glob_matches will be NULL.  Fixes bug reported by

-builtins/exec.def
-	- set extern variable "exec_argv0" to the argument to -a
+doc/bash.1,lib/readline/doc/{rluser.texi,readline.3}
+	- separate the description of what happens when readline reads the
+	  tty EOF character from the description of delete-char, leaving a
+	  note in the delete-char description about common binding for ^D.
+	  From suggestion by Parke <parke.nexus@gmail.com>
 
-shell.c
-	- if exec_argv0 is set, set dollar_vars[0] to it and set it to NULL,
-	  assuming it was set by `exec -a'.  `exec -a foo' now sets $0 to
-	  foo in an executable shell script without a leading `#!' (fixes
-	  longstanding bug)
+lib/readline/doc/{version.texi,history.3,*.texi}
+	- updated email addresses and copyright dates

 				    ---
 variables.c
-	- in push_func_var, if a variable is in a special builtin's temporary
-	  environment and needs to be propagated because we're in Posix mode,
-	  or we just need to propagate a variable, and we are executing in a
-	  function without any local variables (so the function-local variable
-	  context has no variable hash table), make sure we create a hash
-	  table so we have a place to save the variable to be propagated.
-	  Fixes bug reported by Crestez Dan Leonard <cdleonard@gmail.com>.
-
-				   2/18
-				   ----
-builtins/hash.def
-	- change add_hashed_command to remove the command being looked up from
-	  the hash table before trying to add it.  That way, if it's not found,
-	  there won't be anything remaining in the hash table
-
-				   2/26
-				   ----
-trap.[ch]
-	- move IMPOSSIBLE_TRAP_HANDLER define to trap.h so other parts of the
-	  shell can use it
-
-parse.y
-	- change yy_readline_get to use IMPOSSIBLE_TRAP_HANDER instead of NULL
-	  as a sentinel value for the SIGINT signal handler
-	- make sure yy_readline_get resets interrupt_immediately to 0 after
-	  calling readline() using the same criteria it used to set it to 1
-	  before the call -- make the code symmetric.  Suggested by Werner
-	  Fink <werner@suse.de>
-
-builtins/read.def
-	- move assignment to `retval' before decrement of interrupt_immediately
-	  and terminate_immediately and call to discard_unwind_frame
-	- move assign_vars label before decrement of interrupt_immediately and
-	  terminate_immediately so those variables get reset appropriately
-	  if read -t times out
-
-subst.h
-	- new define for Q_DOLBRACE, indicates double-quoted ${...}
-
-subst.c
-	- in parameter_brace_expand, before calling parameter_brace_expand_rhs,
-	  add Q_DOLBRACE to `quoted' if we're within double quotes.
-	- in expand_word_internal, if the Q_DOLBRACE flag is set, remove a
-	  backslash escaping a }.  Result of a Posix discussion on the
-	  austin-group list
-
-				   2/27
-				   ----
-variables.c
-	- new functions to save and restore the PIPESTATUS variable's internal
-	  array: save_pipestatus_array and restore_pipestatus_array
+	- delete_var: new function, just removes a variable from a hash table
+	  and frees it, without doing anything else
+	- make_variable_value: if we are trying to assign to a nameref variable,
+	  return NULL if the value is null or the empty string or not a valid
+	  identifier
 
 variables.h
-	- new extern declarations for save_pipestatus_array and
-	  restore_pipestatus_array
-
-trap.c
-	- in run_pending_traps, _run_trap_internal, and run_exit_trap, save
-	  and restore $PIPESTATUS while traps are running.  Fixes bug
-	  reported by Florian Bruhin <me@the-compiler.org>
-
-parse.y
-	- use save_pipestatus_array and restore_pipestatus_array in
-	  save_parser_state and restore_parser_state, respectively, replacing
-	  inline code
+	- delete_var: new extern declaration
 
-lib/readline/histfile.c
-	- fix callers of history_filename to be prepared to cope with it
-	  returning NULL
-	- change history_filename to return NULL if $HOME is not set, rather
-	  than trying to write the history file in the current directory.
-	  This is the default directory, used only if the application does
-	  not specify a history filename.  Changed due to long-ago (unsent)
-	  bug report from OpenBSD
-
-{Makefile,config.h,configure}.in,externs.h,lib/sh/{dprintf.c,Makefile.in}
-	- change fdprintf to dprintf, which is the Posix standard interface,
-	  look for it with configure, replace it if not available
-
-				   2/28
-				   ----
-command.h
-	- add new subshell flag, SUBSHELL_RESETTRAP.  Indicates to the trap
-	  builtin that the shell is executing a command substitution and
-	  should free the trap strings we left unfreed by reset_signal_handlers()
-
-trap.c
-	- free_trap_string() and free_trap_strings() are now compiled in
-
-builtins/trap.def
-	- if changing a signal disposition and the SUBSHELL_RESETTRAP flag is
-	  set in subshell_environment, free the trap strings left unfreed by
-	  reset_signal_handlers
-
-subst.c
-	- in command_substitute, set the SUBSHELL_RESETTRAP flag.  This change
-	  is for Austin Group Posix interpretation 53

-
-				    3/7
-				    ---
-lib/sh/{Makefile.in,strchrnul.c},Makefile.in
-	- implementation of strchrnul, from gnulib
-
-configure.in,config.h.in
-	- look for strchrnul and compile in version in lib/sh/strchrnul.c if
-	  not available
-	- look for mbsnrtowcs and define HAVE_MBSNRTOWCS if available
-
-lib/sh/xmbsrtowcs.c
-	- new function, xdupmbstowcs2, fast version of xdupmbstowcs used when
-	  mbsnrtowcs is available and the indices are not required.  Called
-	  from xdupmbstowcs as required.  Initial patch from
-	  <0xe2.0x9a.0x9b@gmail.com>

-print_cmd.c
-	- call print_deferred_heredocs virtually every time a recursive call
-	  to make_command_string_internal is made so here documents get
-	  printed correctly when they are attached to commands inside compound
-	  commands such as for and while.  Fixes bug reported by Mike

-
-				   3/25

-	  instead of fieldwidth argument.  Fixes bug reported by Rob Robason
-	  <rob@robason.net>
-
-				   3/26
-				   ----
-trap.[ch]
-	- new function, signal_is_hard_ignored, returns true if the shell
-	  inherited SIG_IGN as a signal's disposition
-	- new function, set_original_signal (sig, handler), provides interface
-	  for rest of shell to set original_signals[sig] = handler
-
-execute_cmd.c
-	- execute_disk_command needs to call reset_terminating_signals in the
-	  child process before resetting traps with restore_original_signals
-
-builtins/trap.def
-	- call initialize_terminating_signals before calling display_traps for
-	  trap -p or trap without any other arguments.  Possible future use
-
-lib/readline/complete.c
-	- rl_filename_completion_function needs to call
-	  rl_filename_dequoting_function with `dirname' (which has already
-	  been tilde-expanded) instead of `users_dirname', because it calls
-	  opendir with `dirname'.  Fixes bug reported by Stefan H. Holek 
-	  <stefan@jarn.com>
-
-				   3/27
-				   ----
-sig.c
-	- experimental change to set_signal_handler: when setting the SIGCHLD
-	  handler, set the SA_RESTART flag so that interruptible system calls
-	  get restarted after a child dies.  Fixes bug reported by Tomas
-	  Trnka <tomastrnka@gmx.com>, but needs further evaluation
-
-lib/sh/eaccess.c
-	- eaccess(2) apparently does only half the job: it does not check that
-	  the permission bits on a file actually allow, for instance, execution.
-	  Need to augment with a call to sh_stataccess if eaccess returns
-	  success on FreeBSD.  Fixes FreeBSD problem reported by Jonan Hattne
-	  <johan.hattne@utsouthwestern.edu>
-
-				   3/28
-				   ----
-parse.y,bashline.c,externs.h
-	- history_delimiting_chars now takes a const char * as an argument:
-	  the line being added to the history.  Changed callers
-
-parse.y
-	- bash_add_history should not add a semicolon separator if the current
-	  history entry already ends in a newline.  It can introduce syntax
-	  errors (e.g., when it results in a null command before a close brace).
-	  Fixes bug reported by Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org>
-
-parse.y
-	- history_delimiting_chars needs to return a newline instead of a
-	  semicolon if it thinks the current line starts a here document
-	  (if it contains `<<').  Also keeps track of the fact with a new
-	  static variable, LAST_WAS_HEREDOC, so it can return the right
-	  sequence of newlines later for the here-document body.  Fixes bug
-	  reported by Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org>
-
-				   3/29
-				   ----
-lib/sh/eaccess.c
-	- if the system has faccessat, sh_eaccess will now use it in
-	  preference to all other options
-
-				   3/30

 subst.h
-	- new string_extract and extract_dollar_brace_string flag value:
-	  SX_POSIXEXP, set if the shell is expanding one of the new Posix
-	  pattern removal word expansions
-
-parser.h
-	- new definitions for "word expansion state", shared between parse.y
-	  and subst.c
+	- ASS_NAMEREF: new define for assignments, means assigning to a nameref
+	  variable
 
-subst.c
-	- include parser.h
+builtins/declare.def
+	- declare_internal: if we are creating and assigning to a nameref
+	  variable, make sure the value is a valid variable name (checks done
+	  by make_variable_value via bind_variable_value) and display an
+	  error message, deleting the variable we just created, if it is not.

-lib/readline/input.c
-	- restructure the rl_event_hook loop in rl_read_key to call the
-	  event hook after rl_gather_tyi() returns and rl_get_char has
-	  a chance to collect the input.  Previous behavior was to call
-	  the event hook before attempting to read input.  Problem
-	  reported by Anant Shankar <anantshankar17@gmail.com>
+	- declare_internal: turning on nameref attribute for an existing
+	  variable turns off -i/-l/-u/-c attributes (essentially the ones
+	  that cause evaluation at assignment time) for ksh93 compat
 
-				   4/15

-builtins/fc.def
-	- fc_builtin needs to check whether the calculation of last_hist
-	  leaves hlist[last_hist] == 0, and keep decrementing it until it
-	  leaves a non-null history entry or goes < 0.  Currently only
-	  does this if saved_command_line_count > 0, indicating we're

-subst.c
-	- new process substitution helper functions:
-		unlink_fifo - closes a single FD or FIFO
-		num_fifos - returns number of open FDs or active FIFOs
-		copy_fifo_list - returns a bitmap of open FDs or active FIFOs
-		  by index into appropriate list (dev_fd_list or fifo_list)
-		close_new_fifos - take a bitmap saved by copy_fifo_list and
-		  call unlink_fifo on any FD or FIFO open at the time of the

-
-execute_cmd.c

-
 trap.c

-
-trap.h
-	- extern declaration for get_all_original_signals
-
-builtins/trap.def
-	- change showtrap to display signals that are "hard ignored" as

 bashline.c
