The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:
* dash 0.5.12-5
DASH is a POSIX-compliant implementation of /bin/sh that aims to be
as small as possible. It does this without sacrificing speed where
possible. In fact, it is significantly faster than bash (the GNU
Bourne-Again SHell) for most tasks.
This package is being upgraded to current as an earlier release broke
existing function that may be relied on by some scripts, and the current
stable Cygwin release now supports locale dependent named character
class, equivalence class, and collating symbol filename patterns
required by this package release.
Add /bin/dash-VER-R link, plus version and date stamp on man page, as no
shell version info or query is available.
This release has been rebuilt re-enabling libc fnmatch and glob as
Cygwin/winsup now supports locale dependent named character class,
equivalence class, and collating symbol filename patterns like glibc,
and has been available for testing for some time.
Thanks to Andrey Repin for testing and bringing this to our attention,
Harald van Dijk on the dash list for pointing out the commit
responsible, and Corinna Vinschen for adding support for locale
dependent named character, equivalence class, and collating symbol
patterns to the Cygwin libc fnmatch and glob functions.
