# 1.16 12-Jan-2018 jca

Some more tweaks to NOTES

- it's safe to assume that there's no plan to write "an `agent' to
execute unreadable/setuid/setgid shell scripts"
- the BUG-REPORTS file has been removed
- update the entry for FPATH, ksh93 also documents the described behavior
- kill entry about octal and hex notation in arithmetic expressions
(supported)
- typos

Feedback from Klemens Nanni


# 1.15 08-Jan-2018 jca

Drop two outdated entries

Namely POSIX character classes and tilde expansion within parameter
substitution. While here, kill a useless line and fix a typo.

patches from pdksh 5.2.13.11


Revision tags: OPENBSD_2_5_BASE
# 1.6 08-Jan-1999 millert

bug fixes from pdksh-unstable-5.2.13.5; some of which we already had.


# 1.5 29-Oct-1998 millert

Bug fixes from pdksh-unstable-5.2.13.4, including "official" versions of
some that we had already fixed locally.
o typeset -f FUNC doesn't print follows command (and expression) substitutions.
o when re-allocating memory, too much may be copied from old memory.
o set -o printed some options sans names.
o emacs mode: <esc>. in very fist command causes core dump.
o pdksh dumps core after a cd command.
o typeset -i reports on array elements that have no value
(at&t ksh reports on array base name - no index).
o ulimit -ctn unlimittttted kills shell (resource exceeded).
o ". /dev/null" says access denied.
o flag field in aliases incorrectly changed (all flags set instead of
clearing ISSET) in exec.c(flushcom).
o ${#array[*]} prints largest index instead of number of (set) elements
in an array (ksh88 does the former).
o sys_siglist[] doesn't always have NSIG non-null entries...
