New features with AN-2016-02-10: 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 - smake: make.c removed a stray '}' in inactive code. Thanks to heiko Eißfeldt for reporting. - libschily/cvt.c: Removed a superfluous comparison. Thanks to heiko Eißfeldt for reporting. - mkisofs/mac_label.c: fixed a file descriptor leak Thanks to heiko Eißfeldt for reporting. - star/acltext.c: fixed a memory leak in case that malloc() failed in acltotext(). Thanks to heiko Eißfeldt for reporting. - Bourne Shell: The following shell variables now may be unset: - PATH - IFS - PS1 - PS2 - MAILCHECK This avoids problems with a IFS POSIX conformance test from Sven Mascheck and POSIX mentions an unset IFS parameter. - Bourne Shell: The shell variable PPID is no longer readonly. This is because otherwise the set command with saved variables would fail to restore the values. - Bourne Shell: added "apropriate" quoting for the output from the "set" command with no arguments to support POSIX requirements. - Bourne Shell: Permit functions with the same name as shell variables. - Bourne Shell: Tilde expansion is now fully supported even after an unquoted ':' in variable assignment. - Bourne Shell Missing features for POSIX compliance: - Arithmetic Substitution with $((expression)) - Do not list functions when calling "set" with no arguments. Note that this POSIX requirement is seen as a POSIX bug as there is no POSIX command to list function definitions. NOTE that this will not be implemented before POSIX bug http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1025 was fixed. - 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.
