the AT&T Software Technology ast alpha 2013-09-24 source release
has been posted to the download site
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/alpha/
the package names and md5 checksums are
INIT 3306a1ea5b0ccad851f984850235275a
ast-base 905d3125d8804cc53562d5f7ac2d834f
ast-open cc1f1bb8d20861eb1987a458c98548d0
ast-ksh 970460ec2c257b22bc4ad22e18046ebc
the md5 sums should match the ones listed on the download page
libcmd realpath, readlink, sync finally added
there is a clash between the ast and gnu interpretation of --logical
ast is sticking to its guns here because it matches the
--logical/--physical/--metaphysical options of other ast utilities
there's a bunch of regression tests but I'm sure a few dark corners were missed
the first phase of properly using mbstate_t mb/wc char in this release
second phase (next alpha) is to do the same for ksh93
there are probably some bugs lurking
hoping for feedback from our shift-state codeset locale friends
