New features with AN-2016-08-19: 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 - All: The makefilesystem added a new target "cstyle" to automatically check all sources for a specific project for correct indentation. - libschily: Some files fixed some Cstyle deviations. - calc: typo correction in the help text - wow this was a typo from 1984! - sdd: Cstyle corrections - cdrecord: The README file fixed a typo and the deprecated mail addresses. - mkisofs: isoinfo Cstyle fixes - bsh: Some files fixed some Cstyle deviations. - libshedit: Some files fixed some Cstyle deviations. - libshedit: the history editor now supports ^C as a special input and ^V as "literal next" character. - bsh: new code to deal with the new libshedit feature. - Bourne Shell: ^C now results in a longjmp before the next prompt if typed while in the middle of a command line. This permits to abort command lines where the user does not know how to get out of the parser. - Bourne Shell: While expanding the PS4 prompt, "set -x" is deactivated to avoid an endless recursion. - Bourne Shell: Fixed a bug in the locale handling that was caused by forgetting to extend the fake environment to the same size as the list of environment variables of interest. - Bourne Shell: Clear variable "thisjob" after free()ing it to avoid using if past the free() call. Thanks to Heiko Eißfeldt for his advice on the address sanitizer to find the cause for this problem. - Bourne Shell: Now allocating a new Job slot when running a vfork() -> script -> fork() chain as we wait() for the vfork() process and thus free() "thisjob" before calling fork(). - SCCS: The testsuite did use "tail +2" but some "tail" implementations do not support "tail +2" while UNIX tail does not support the POSIX command line "tail -n +2". We now test what works and use a command line that fits the actual implementaion. - SCCS: The testsuite did use "touch 0101000090 $g", but some "touch" implementations (such as gtouch on Linux) do not support that. We now use "touch -t 199001010000 $g" if needed. - Bourne Shell Missing features for POSIX compliance: - Support for $'...' quoting (this is not needed for the current version of POSIX but for the next POSIX version that will be named SUSv8). The development of SUSv8 will start in late 2016. We are now expecting the Bourne Shell to be fully POSIX compliant. - Bourne Shell further TODO list: - Try to make lastline= while read line do lastline=$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 execute and probably more features not yet identified to be bsh unique.
