I usually bump the date from $KSH_VERSION at the end of a day
of hacking on mksh, i.e. actually changing code (rarely for
buildsystem or manpage changes), and the version when the shell
language changes or before a release.
The release date is independent of the date of the code. In
the case of R44, the code that was released has “hung” for
a while. For most of the other recent (first digit being a
four) releases, there were changes on the day of the release
as I had planned it for them; for R44, this didn’t happen as
the only two planned changes were either postponed or found
impossible to achieve.
But thanks for noticing ;)
