New features with AN-2016-02-02: This is the first localization step for the schily source consolidation. Many programs now (hopefully) call gettext() for all strings that need localization. - The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries and the missing programs - The following step will include the extracted strings - The last step will include German translations and install support for the resulting binary message object files. ----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <--------- ***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to the tools should ***** ***** call all programs in the "C" locale ***** ***** by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord .... ***** ***** unless these frontends support localized strings ***** ***** used by the cdrtools with NLS support. ***** *** WARNING *** *** Need new smake *** *** Due to the fact that schily-tools 2014-04-03 introduced to use new macro *** expansions and a related bug fix in smake, you need a new smake *** to compile this source. To ensure this, call: cd ./psmake ./MAKE-all cd .. psmake/smake psmake/smake install WARNING: the new version of the isoinfo program makes use of the *at() series of functions that have been introduced by Sun in August 2001 and added to POSIX.1-2008. For older platforms, libschily now includes emulations for these functions but these emulations have not yet been tested thoroughly. Please report problems! The new smake version mentioned above is smake-1.2.4 - libschily: format.3 man page no longer has lines starting with a '.'. - libschily: getallargs.3 man page fixed formatting - libschily: getargs.3 man page fixed formatting - libschily: getfiles.3 man page fixed formatting - libschily: patcompile.3 man page fixed formatting - cdrtools: version bumped to 3.02a06 - cdrtools: man pages now document the new libscg option "scgopts=" - Bourne Shell: The syntax tree listing function used by "set(1)" and by the job control code has been enhanced to be able to list pipes from other file descriptors than stdout. - Bourne Shell: while trying to fix the printout of the "case" statements with "type funcname" and adding a missing "in", it has been overlooked that the reserved word "esac" was also missing. This bug has been fixed now. - Bourne Shell: "type funcname" now also prints the content of here-document files. This is needed to support here documents inside $() command substitution. - Bourne Shell: Command Substitution with $(cmd) now works. Thanks to Thorsten Glaser for a nice idea on how to implement this feature using a recursive parser. - Bourne Shell Missing features for POSIX compliance: - Tilde expansion after unquoted ':' in variable assignment - Arithmetic Substitution with $((expression)) - Permit functions with the same name as shell variables - Do not list functions when calling "set" with no arguments. - add "apropriate" quoting for the output from the "set" command with no arguments. - Permit "unset IFS" - Support for $'...' quoting (this is not needed for the current version of POSIX but for the next POSIX version that will be SUSv8) We are getting very close to full POSIX support. - Bourne Shell further TODO list: - Try to make lastline= while read line do lastline=$line done < /etc/passwd echo "lastline=$lastline" print the last line of /etc/passwd without the exec "trick" that is documented in the man page. - Finish loadable builtin support. - POSIX does not allow us to implement ". -h", so we will add a "source" builtin to be able to implement "source -h" - The following builtins (that are available in bsh) are still missing in the Bourne Shell: err echo with output going to stderr glob echo with '\0' instead of ' ' between args env a builtin version of /usr/bin/env The following bsh intrinsics are still missing in the Bourne Shell: - the restricted bsh has restriction features that are missing in the Bourne shell. - source -h read file into history but do not excute and probably more features not yet identified to be bsh unique.
