Changelog for bash-5.2.15-10.15.x86_64.rpm :

* Tue Dec 27 2022 Ludwig Nussel - Replace transitional %usrmerged macro with regular version check (boo#1206798)
* Wed Dec 14 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Add upstream patches
* bash52-013 Bash can leak memory when referencing a non-existent associative array element.
* bash52-014 Bash defers processing additional terminating signals when running the EXIT trap while exiting due to a terminating signal. This patch allows the new terminating signal to kill the shell immediately.
* bash52-015 There are several cases where bash is too aggressive when optimizing out forks in subshells. For example, `eval\' and traps should never be optimized.
* Mon Nov 28 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Add upstream patches
* bash52-010 Bash-5.2 checks the first 128 characters of an executable file that execve() refuses to execute to see whether it\'s a binary file before trying to execute it as a shell script. This defeats some previously-supported use cases like \"self-executing\" jar files or \"self-uncompressing\" scripts.
* bash52-011 Using timeouts and readline editing with the `read\' builtin (read -e -t) can leave the readline timeout enabled, potentially resulting in an erroneous timeout on the next call.
* bash52-012 When running in bash compatibility mode, nested command substitutions can leave the `extglob\' option enabled.
* Wed Nov 09 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Add upstream patches
* bash52-003 Command substitutions need to preserve newlines instead of replacing them with semicolons, especially in the presence of multiple here-documents.
* bash52-004 Bash needs to keep better track of nested brace expansions to avoid problems with quoting and POSIX semantics.
* bash52-005 Null pattern substitution replacement strings can cause a crash.
* bash52-006 In interactive shells, interrupting the shell while entering a command substitution can inhibit alias expansion.
* bash52-007 This patch fixes several problems with alias expansion inside command substitutions when in POSIX mode.
* bash52-008 Array subscript expansion can inappropriately quote brackets if the expression contains < or >.
* bash52-009 Bash arithmetic expansion should allow `AATT\' and `
*\' to be used as associative array keys in expressions.
* Wed Nov 02 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Set DEFAULT_LOADABLE_BUILTINS_PATH to get BASH_LOADABLES_PATH correct (boo#1204567)
* Thu Oct 20 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Explicit require versioned libreadline8 as we face new ABI functions used by the bash (boo#1204336)
* Wed Oct 12 2022 Andreas Schwab - Don\'t strip binaries- Work around a signal mask issue with qemu linux-user emulation
* Wed Oct 12 2022 Andreas Schwab - Remove backup of patched tests
* Thu Oct 06 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Add upstream patches
* bash52-001 Expanding unset arrays in an arithmetic context can cause a segmentation fault.
* bash52-002 Starting bash with an invalid locale specification for LC_ALL/LANG/LC_CTYPE can cause the shell to crash.- Do not run checks in parallel as it eats memory, a lot of memory- Disable alternate array implementation as it eats a lot of memory
* Tue Sep 27 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to final bash 5.2 a. When replacing a history entry, make sure the existing entry has a non-NULL timestamp before copying it; it may have been added by the application, not the history library.
* Tue Sep 27 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Modernize run-tests
* Sat Sep 24 2022 Christopher Yeleighton - add checks
* Tue Sep 20 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Enable parallel builds by splitting clean and all at make time (Thanks to Christopher Yeleighton)- Do not copy more than 1 byte for \\(aq becoming a \"\'\" in quotes-man2html.patch
* Mon Sep 19 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Small change in quotes-man2html.patch
* Use a simple \"\'\" aka quote instead of \"′\" for \"\\(aq\"
* Thu Sep 15 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Add patch quotes-man2html.patch
* Fix boo#1203091 -- BASH(1) Manual Page: Unprocessed macro aq
* Tue Sep 13 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to bash 5.2 rc4 Pos. aa is now enabled by default. m. Readline now checks for changes to locale settings (LC_ALL/LC_CTYPE/LANG) each time it is called, and modifies the appropriate locale-specific display- Port patches
* bash-2.03-manual.patch
* bash-5.2.dif
* Wed Jul 27 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to bash 5.2 rc2 gg. Since there is no `declare -\' equivalent of `local -\', make sure to use `local -\' in the output of `local -p\'.
* Wed Jun 22 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to bash 5.2 rc1 dd. In posix mode, the `printf\' builtin checks for the `L\' length modifier and uses long double for floating point conversion specifiers if it\'s present, double otherwise. ee. The `globbing\' completion code now takes the `globstar\' option into account. ff. `suspend -f\' now forces the shell to suspend even if job control is not currently enabled.- Port patches
* bash-2.03-manual.patch
* bash-3.2-printf.patch
* bash-4.1-bash.bashrc.dif
* bash-5.2.dif
* Thu Apr 28 2022 Dirk Müller - use https:// for source urls
* Thu Apr 28 2022 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to bash 5.2 beta a. The bash malloc returns memory that is aligned on 16-byte boundaries. b. There is a new internal timer framework used for read builtin timeouts. c. Rewrote the command substitution parsing code to call the parser recursively and rebuild the command string from the parsed command. This allows better syntax checking and catches errors much earlier. d. The `ulimit\' builtin now treats an operand remaining after all of the options and arguments are parsed as an argument to the last command specified by an option. This is for POSIX compatibility. e. Here-document parsing now handles $\'...\' and $\"...\" quoting when reading the here-document body. f. The `shell-expand-line\' and `history-and-alias-expand-line\' bindable readline commands now understand $\'...\' and $\"...\" quoting. g. There is a new `spell-correct-word\' bindable readline command to perform spelling correction on the current word. h. The `unset\' builtin now attempts to treat arguments as array subscripts without parsing or expanding the subscript, even when `assoc_expand_once\' is not set. i. There is a default value for $BASH_LOADABLES_PATH in config-top.h. j. Associative array assignment and certain instances of referencing (e.g., `test -v\' now allow `AATT\' and `
*\' to be used as keys. k. Bash attempts to expand indexed array subscripts only once when executing shell constructs and word expansions. l. The `unset\' builtin allows a subscript of `AATT\' or `
*\' to unset a key with that value for associative arrays instead of unsetting the entire array (which you can still do with `unset arrayname\'). For indexed arrays, it removes all elements of the array without unsetting it (like `A=()\'). m. Additional builtins (printf/test/read/wait) do a better job of not parsing array subscripts if array_expand_once is set. n. New READLINE_ARGUMENT variable set to numeric argument for readline commands defined using `bind -x\'. o. The new `varredir_close\' shell option causes bash to automatically close file descriptors opened with {var}&WORD- redirection has WORD expand to the empty string, treat the redirection as [N]<&- or [N]>&- and close file descriptor N (default 0). w. Invalid parameter transformation operators are now invalid word expansions, and so cause fatal errors in non-interactive shells. x. New shell option: patsub_replacement. When enabled, a `&\' in the replacement string of the pattern substitution expansion is replaced by the portion of the string that matched the pattern. Backslash will escape the `&\' and insert a literal `&\'. y. `command -p\' no longer looks in the hash table for the specified command. z. The new `--enable-translatable-strings\' option to `configure\' allows $\"...\" support to be compiled in or out. aa. The new `globskipdots\' shell option forces pathname expansion never to return `.\' or `..\' unless explicitly matched. bb. Array references using `AATT\' and `
*\' that are the value of nameref variables (declare -n ref=\'v[AATT]\' ; echo $ref) no longer cause the shell to exit if set -u is enabled and the array (v) is unset. cc. There is a new bindable readline command name: `vi-edit-and-execute-command\'.- Remove upstream patchset tarball for 8.1 and create new and empty for 8.2- Port patches

* Add official patch bash51-013 Bash did not always perform tilde expansion following an unquoted colon on the rhs of an assignment statement in posix mode.
* Add official patch bash51-014 Bash may produce corrupted input if a multibyte character spans a 512-byte boundary while reading the output of a command substitution.
* Add official patch bash51-015 There are some characters (e.g., cyrillic) that can\'t be displayed using certain single-byte encodings (e.g., cp1251) because the negative signed int is interpreted as EOF and not displayed.
* Add official patch bash51-016 Multiple `!\' tokens should toggle negation of an expression in a [[ conditional command, instead of simply negating the expression.

* Thu Nov 18 2021 Dr. Werner Fink - Update bash 5.1 to patch level 12
* Add official patch bash51-009 The bash malloc implementation of malloc_usable_size() does not follow the specification. This can cause library functions that use it to overwrite memory bounds checking.
* Add official patch bash51-010 If `wait -n\' is interrupted by a trapped signal other than SIGINT, it does not completely clean up state, and that can prevent subsequent calls to `wait -n\' from working correctly.
* Add official patch bash51-011 When reading a compound assignment, and running it through the parser to split it into words, we need to save and restore any alias we\'re currently expanding.
* Add official patch bash51-012 There is a possible race condition that arises when a child process receives a signal trapped by the parent before it can reset the signal dispositions. The child process is not supposed to trap the signal in this circumstance.

* Make sure child processes forked to run command substitutions are in the proper process group.- Add official patch bash51-007
* The code to check readline versions in an inputrc file had the sense of the comparisons reversed.- Add official patch bash51-008
* Process substitution FIFOs opened by child processes as targets of redirections were not removed appropriately, leaving remnants in the file system.
* Mon Jan 11 2021 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to final bash 5.1
* Which is mainly the last rc3 veresion- Add official patch bash51-001 There is a missing dependency on a constructed file, which can cause highly parellel builds to fail.- Add official patch bash51-002 If there are no jobs, and the `-n\' and `-p\' options are both supplied to `wait\', bash can assign a value to the variable name specified with `-p\' instead of leaving it unset.- Add official patch bash51-003 Bash does not put a command substitution process that is started to perform an expansion in a child process into the right process group where it can receive keyboard-generated signals.- Add official patch bash51-004 If a key-value compound array assignment to an associative array is supplied as an assignment statement argument to the `declare\' command that declares the array, the assignment doesn\'t perform the correct word expansions. This patch makes key-value assignment and subscript assignment perform the same expansions when they\'re supplied as an argument to `declare\'.
* Mon Nov 23 2020 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to bash 5.1 rc3
* The `assoc_expand_once\' option now affects the evaluation of the -v primary to test and the [[ compound command.
* Thu Nov 19 2020 Ludwig Nussel - remove obsolete info macros

* Fri Oct 16 2020 Ludwig Nussel - prepare usrmerge (boo#1029961)
* Mon Oct 12 2020 Dr. Werner Fink - Update to bash 5.1 rc1
* `bind -x\' now supports different bindings for different editing modes and keymaps.
* Bash attempts to optimize the number of times it forks when executing commands in subshells and from `bash -c\'.
* Here documents and here strings now use pipes for the expanded document if it\'s smaller than the pipe buffer size, reverting to temporary files if it\'s larger.
* There are new loadable builtins: mktemp, accept, mkfifo, csv, cut/lcut
* In posix mode, `trap -p\' now displays signals whose disposition is SIG_DFL and those that were SIG_IGN when the shell starts.
* The shell now expands the history number (e.g., in PS1) even if it is not currently saving commands to the history list.
* `read -e\' may now be used with arbitrary file descriptors (`read -u N\').
* The `select\' builtin now runs traps if its internal call to the read builtin is interrupted by a signal.
* SRANDOM: a new variable that expands to a 32-bit random number that is not produced by an LCRNG, and uses getrandom/getentropy, falling back to /dev/urandom or arc4random if available. There is a fallback generator if none of these are available.
* shell-transpose-words: a new bindable readline command that uses the same definition of word as shell-forward-word, etc.
* The shell now adds default bindings for shell-forward-word, shell-backward-word, shell-transpose-words, and shell-kill-word.
* Bash now allows ARGV0 appearing in the initial shell environment to set $0.
* If `unset\' is executed without option arguments, bash tries to unset a shell function if a name argument cannot be a shell variable name because it\'s not an identifier.
* The `test -N\' operator uses nanosecond timestamp granularity if it\'s available.
* Bash posix mode now treats assignment statements preceding shell function definitions the same as in its default mode, since POSIX has changed and no longer requires those assignments to persist after the function returns (POSIX interp 654).
* BASH_REMATCH is no longer readonly.
* wait: has a new -p VARNAME option, which stores the PID returned by `wait -n\' or `wait\' without arguments.
* Sorting the results of pathname expansion now uses byte-by-byte comparisons if two strings collate equally to impose a total order; the result of a POSIX interpretation.
* Bash now allows SIGINT trap handlers to execute recursively.
* Bash now saves and restores state around setting and unsetting posix mode, instead of having unsetting posix mode set a known state.
* Process substitution is now available in posix mode.
* READLINE_MARK: a new variable available while executing commands bound with `bind -x\', contains the value of the mark.
* Bash removes SIGCHLD from the set of blocked signals if it\'s blocked at shell startup.
* `test -v N\' can now test whether or not positional parameter N is set.
* `local\' now honors the `-p\' option to display all local variables at the current context.
* The `AATTa\' variable transformation now prints attributes for unset array variables.
* The `AATTA\' variable transformation now prints a declare command that sets a variable\'s attributes if the variable has attributes but is unset.
* `declare\' and `local\' now have a -I option that inherits attributes and value from a variable with the same name at a previous scope.
* When run from a -c command, `jobs\' now reports the status of completed jobs.
* New `U\', `u\', and `L\' parameter transformations to convert to uppercase, convert first character to uppercase, and convert to lowercase, respectively.
* PROMPT_COMMAND: can now be an array variable, each element of which can contain a command to be executed like a string PROMPT_COMMAND variable.
* `ulimit\' has a -R option to report and set the RLIMIT_RTTIME resource.
* Associative arrays may be assigned using a list of key-value pairs within a compound assignment. Compound assignments where the words are not of the form [key]=value are assumed to be key-value assignments. A missing or empty key is an error; a missing value is treated as NULL. Assignments may not mix the two forms.
* New `K\' parameter transformation to display associative arrays as key- value pairs.
* Writing history to syslog now handles messages longer than the syslog max length by writing multiple messages with a sequence number.
* SECONDS and RANDOM may now be assigned using arithmetic expressions, since they are nominally integer variables. LINENO is not an integer variable.
* Bash temporarily suppresses the verbose option when running the DEBUG trap while running a command from the `fc\' builtin.
* `wait -n\' now accepts a list of job specifications as arguments and will wait for the first one in the list to change state.
* The associative array implementation can now dynamically increase the size of the hash table based on insertion patterns.
* HISTFILE is now readonly in a restricted shell.
* The bash malloc now returns memory that is 16-byte aligned on 64-bit systems.
* If the hash builtin is listing hashed filenames portably, don\'t print anything if the table is empty.
* GLOBIGNORE now ignores `.\' and `..\' as a terminal pathname component.
* Bash attempts to optimize away forks in the last command in a function body under appropriate circumstances.
* The globbing code now uses fnmatch(3) to check collation elements (if available) even in cases without multibyte characters.
* The `fg\' and `bg\' builtins now return an error in a command substitution when asked to restart a job inherited from the parent shell.
* The shell now attempts to unlink all FIFOs on exit, whether a consuming process has finished with them or not.
* There is a new contributed loadable builtin: asort.- Remove patch bash-4.0-security.patch as now solved upstream- Port and modify patches

* Sun Aug 02 2020 Matthias Eliasson - Bump bpatchlvl version to 18 which was missed in previous change
* Tue Jul 14 2020 Dr. Werner Fink - Add official patch bash50-018
* In certain cases, bash does not perform quoted null removal on patterns that are used as part of word expansions such as ${parameter##pattern}, so empty patterns are treated as non-empty.
* Sat May 09 2020 Dr. Werner Fink - Add official patch bash50-017
* There were cases where patch 16 reaped process substitution file descriptors (or FIFOs) and processes to early. This is a better fix for the problem that bash50-016 attempted to solve.- Remove temporary patch bash50-fix-016-close-new-fifos.patch
* Sun Apr 19 2020 Thorsten Kukuk - Fix usage of update-alternatives
* Fri Apr 03 2020 Dr. Werner Fink - Add temporary patch bash50-fix-016-close-new-fifos.patch from upstream to fix upstream patch bash50-016
* Mon Feb 24 2020 Ludwig Nussel - move man pages back to main package. It\'s just 100k
* Thu Feb 13 2020 Dr. Werner Fink - Add official patch bash50-012 When using previous-history to go back beyond the beginning of the history list, it\'s possible to move to an incorrect partial line.- Add official patch bash50-013 Reading history entries with timestamps can result in history entries joined by linefeeds.- Add official patch bash50-014 If the current line is empty, using the emacs C-xC-e binding to enter the editor will edit the previous command instead of the current (empty) one.- Add official patch bash50-015 If alias expansion is enabled when processing the command argument to the `-c\' option, an alias is defined in that command, and the command ends with the invocation of that alias, the shell\'s command parser can prematurely terminate before the entire command is executed.- Add official patch bash50-016 Bash waits too long to reap /dev/fd process substitutions used as redirections with loops and group commands, which can lead to file descriptor exhaustion.
