There is a lot of activity regarding the Korn shell (ksh or ksh93) occurring at https://github.com/att/ast. That activity is currently focused on removing lots of legacy code that is no longer relevant (e.g., support for operating systems that are dead), improving code quality, changing the build system to Meson, and fixing bugs that cause unit test failures.
One of the recent questions we would like feedback on is removing the incomplete, broken, code for "fixed size arrays". That is, code controlled by the SHOPT_FIXEDARRAY symbol. See https://github.com/att/ast/issues/234. This is going to be the last time I send a message to these mailing lists asking for feedback about a proposed change. If you care about the future of the Korn shell you need to be monitoring the Github project at https://github.com/att/ast/. There will likely be announcements to these mailing lists when something significant happens. Such as a candidate for the next stable release being available. But I'm not going to duplicate requests for comment on these legacy mailing lists which are not under the control of the open source community. And I doubt @siteshwar, or any other contributor, is going to do so. -- Kurtis Rader Caretaker of the exceptional canines Junior and Hank
