tl;dr: mksh R51 released; feature release; less bugs (and no new ones)
compared with R50f, but nothing I’d put into a stable release unchecked
due to lots of user-visible changes.
(Good) Bugreports are liked. But mind the list of known bugs:
- x=<< feature cannot be used in functions and leaks memory
- startup fails if COLUMNS, LINENO in the environment and invalid
- nested ADELIM expansions (${x:1:2}, ${x/y/z}) buffer-overflow
- ${x/y/z} and related expansions don#t tilde-expand
mksh R52 will follow “soon”, though, with my current development tempo,
add a bit of salt. It will completely supersede R51 then. R50g will then
roll up the fixes from these versions.
Afterwards I hope to have time for integrating EBCDIC and OS/2 diffs.
