                                12/23/1996
                                ----------
[bash-2.0 released]

                                   12/27
                                   -----
configure.in
        - don't automatically use GNU malloc on FreeBSD, the builtin one
          is supposed to be better (but doesn't have the debugging hooks)

builtins/exec.def
        - check that full_pathname(command) doesn't return NULL because of
          inaccessible parent directories

support/config.sub
        - recognize OpenBSD

execute_cmd.c
        - broke the code that opens a file for output redirection when in
          noclobber mode out into a separate function: noclobber_open().
          This tries to avoid race conditions and file replacement between
          stat(2) and open(2)

subst.c
        - make sure pat_subst does not run off the end of its return
          string when copying the unmatched portion of the input string

                                   12/30
                                   -----
doc/Makefile.in
        - don't install readline.3 by default

lib/tilde/tilde.c
        - removed an unnecessary check for string[i] being non-null in
          tilde_find_suffix

                                   12/31
                                   -----
support/config.{sub,guess}
        - merged in changes from config.sub in autoconf-2.12 distribution

lib/readline/readline.c
        - in rl_newline, only call _rl_vi_done_inserting and _rl_vi_reset_last
          if readline is currently in vi mode

lib/readline/display.c
        - corrected a misuse of inv_lbreaks where vis_lbreaks was wanted in
          the code that decides whether the cursor is at the beginning of
          an otherwise-empty line

                                    1/2
                                    ---
support/bashbug.sh
        - fixed a typo, thanks to eggert@twinsun.com

aclocal.m4
        - new test, BASH_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_FILENO, testing for d_fileno member
          of struct dirent

configure.in
        - call BASH_STRUCT_DIRENT_D_FILENO

config.h.in
        - new #define for STRUCT_DIRENT_HAS_D_FILENO

lib/posixheaders/posixdir.h
        - only define d_fileno as d_ino if STRUCT_DIRENT_HAS_D_INO is defined
          and STRUCT_DIRENT_HAS_D_FILENO is not defined.  This fixed the
          problem of compiling getcwd.c on SunOS4.1.4 with cc

                                    1/3
                                    ---
lib/readline/complete.c
        - fix a memory-used-after-freed bug reported by Andreas Schwab

configure.in
        - call BASH_CHECK_SOCKLIB only if getpeername is not found in libc
          (ac_cv_func_getpeername = no)

                                   1/13
                                   ----

builtins/getopt.h
        - change #define guard to _SH_GETOPT_H to avoid similar guards in
          /usr/include/getopt.h (Dec OSF/1 4.x, for example)

variables.h
        - fix assign_array_from_string so that it rejects attempts to assign
          to readonly variables

subst.c
        - fix verify_substring_values to handle offsets that are past the
          end or before the beginning (in the case of a negative offset)
          of the expanded variable value

                                   1/14
                                   ----
bashline.c
        - fix a problem where any completion after a `cmd` command
          substitution would inappropriately attempt command completion,
          even if the previous command substitution was correctly closed

builtins/evalstring.c
        - unwind_protect remember_on_history even if the shell is not
          interactive, since history can now be used in scripts, and
          `source' will turn off interactive_shell before calling
          parse_and_execute

jobs.c
        - new function get_job_by_pid(pid, block) to translate a pid to
          a job number.  The block argument says whether or not to block
          SIGCHLD

jobs.h
        - new extern declaration for get_job_by_pid

builtins/jobs.def
        - call get_job_by_pid if an argument appears to be a pid rather
          than a jobspec

configure.in
        - configure --without-gnu-malloc automatically on MachTen 4.x

builtins/cd.def
        - change to mindist() so that a best guess of `.' returns 3,
          which means not reasonable

lib/posixheaders/memalloc.h
        - changed hpux_9 to __hpux, since the new config stuff doesn't
          define hpux_9

subst.c
        - fix parameter_brace_patsub to handle null patterns (doesn't
          do anything)

oslib.c
        - slight change to bzero replacement

support/bashbug.sh
        - changed TEMP to be /tmp/bbug.$$ as a sop to systems with 14-char
          file names

doc/bashref.texi
        - add note to POSIX Mode section that the output of `set' when
          invoked without arguments is sorted when in POSIX mode

                                   1/15
                                   ----
support/recho.c
        - a couple of changes prompted by a `gcc -Wall'

subst.c
        - changed ASSIGN_RETURN macro to use the do...while(0) idiom to
          avoid problems with its multiple statements

builtins/setattr.def
        - a bad identifier given to readonly or export without an assignment
          statement (e.g. `readonly a[5]') is an error, but not an assignment
          error (i.e., return EXECUTION_FAILURE rather than EX_BADASSIGN)

tests/{{array,new-exp}.,tilde-}tests
        - added `set +o posix' at the beginning to disable POSIX mode, which
          causes some of the tests to fail.  Some systems (e.g. LINUX-FT),
          set POSIXLY_CORRECT by default

tests/test-tests
        - added a warning if $UID is 0 to the effect that the test suite
          should not be run as root
        - worked around the `noread' and `nowrite' tests failing when run
          as root

test.c
        - began removing the remains of the STANDALONE code, since test is
          included in GNU shellutils

                                   1/16
                                   ----
lib/readline/{readline,display}.c
        - a couple of slight changes to build on Win95 using djgpp (reported
          by x-aes@telelogic.se)

Makefile.in
        - changed TERMCAP_LIBDIR to TERM_LIBDIR, so building the termcap
          library (if necessary) should work now

bashline.c
        - new function: quote_word_break_characters(), to backslash-quote 
          characters in a filename that the readline completion code would
          treat as word breaks
        - change bash_quote_filename to call quote_word_break_characters if
          the completion quoting style says to use backslashes
        - add `:' to rl_filename_quote_characters, since it's part of
          filename_word_break_characters

lib/posixheaders/posixjmp.h
        - new file, with half of bashjmp.h
        - posixjmp.h and lib/readline/posixjmp.h are symlinks to this file

bashjmp.h
        - include "posixjmp.h" for possible redefinitions of setjmp/longjmp
          and procenv_t

                                   1/17
                                   ----
shell.c
        - bad options now cause the standard shell usage message (a subset
          of what `bash --help' prints) to be displayed on stderr

trap.c
        - don't free the trap command for a DEBUG trap in
          restore_default_signal if SIG_INPROGRESS is set -- there's already
          a pointer saved to the old value in _run_trap_internal.  This
          makes bashdb run better, too

examples/bashdb/bashdb.{pre,fns}
        - a couple of minor fixes; it actually has a chance of working now

                                   1/21
                                   ----
config.h.in
        - add a define for <dlfcn.h>, HAVE_DLFCN_H

configure.in
        - look for <dlfcn.h>, define HAVE_DLFCN_H if found

builtins/enable.def
        - include <dlfcn.h> only if HAVE_DLFCN_H is defined

lib/readline/display.c
        - renamed clear_to_eol to _rl_clear_to_eol and made it global, so
          other library files (readline.c) can use it
        - new function _rl_clear_screen, to clear the screen with the right
          termcap escape sequence

lib/readline/readline.c
        - call _rl_clear_to_eol and _rl_clear_screen instead of using tputs
        - extern declarations for _rl_clear_to_eol and _rl_clear_screen

                                   1/22
                                   ----
mailcheck.c
        - fixed a problem in make_default_mailpath() where a slash was not
          added between the default mail directory and the username

                                   1/23
                                   ----
stringlib.c
        - added a fourth parameter to ansicstr: the length of the returned
          string

externs.h
        - changed declaration of ansicstr

parse.y
        - changed call to ansicstr -- saves a call to strlen

builtins/echo.def
        - changed call to ansicstr
        - if do_v9 is non-zero, use putchar to output the string instead
          of printf, since there may be embedded NULL characters

doc/{bash.1,bashref.texi}, builtins/trap.def
        - modified the `trap' documentation to make it clearer that trap
          takes multiple signal specs as arguments

jobs.c, nojobs.c, jobs.h
        - renamed initialize_jobs to initialize_job_control, added an
          argument (force)

jobs.c
        - set shell_tty to fileno(stderr) in initialize_job_control if
          the shell is not interactive.  This fixes the problem of bad
          tty pgrps when monitor mode is turned on in a non-interactive
          shell

sig.c
        - made initialize_terminating_signals do only that; moved the rest
          of the code that used to be there into a new function:
          initialize_shell_signals, which calls initialize_terminating_signals
          if the shell is interactive
        - initialize_terminating_signals is now extern
        - made reset_terminating_signals return immediately if
          termsigs_intitialized is zero, meaning that
          initialize_terminating_signals has not been called

sig.h
        - new extern declaration for initialize_terminating_signals

trap.c
        - call initialize_terminating_signals from set_signal if sig is
          EXIT_TRAP and the shell is not interactive.  Since the terminating
          signals do not need to be initialized until a trap on exit is
          set, not doing that at startup should result in a speed increase
          for scripts

execute_cmd.c
        - save and restore command->flags in time_command, so you can use
          `time command' in a loop

                                   1/24
                                   ----
lib/readline/display.c
        - fix redisplay code to wrap correctly if the prompt is longer than
          the screen width (reported by bos@Eng.Sun.COM)

lib/readline/undo.c
        - don't include <setjmp.h>, it's not needed

lib/readline/{util,readline}.c
        - include "posixjmp.h" instead of <setjmp.h>
        - readline_top_level is now a `procenv_t' instead of a `jmp_buf'
          (now readline uses the correct posix semantics for preserving
          the signal mask and other things across longjmp)

parse.y
        - fixes to push_string/pop_string to make them more general -- they
          now can be used generally, instead of having to be associated
          with an alias being expanded
        - fixes to the parser so that it parses (( ls abc; ls def); ls ghi)
          as a nested subshell command for backwards compatibility.  Broke
          the double-paren expression parsing off into a new function:
          parse_arith_cmd, called from read_token when a `((' is seen.  If
          it looks like an arithmetic command, return `let' and set things
          up so that the expression is returned as a double-quoted string
          by the next call to read_token.  If it's a nested subshell, push
          the text we parsed onto the list of strings for later consumption
          and return `('

lib/glob/glob.c
        - fix glob_vector so it doesn't short-circuit checking a filename if
          it starts with a `.' and the pattern starts with `\.' (if
          noglob_dot_filenames is set).  This makes `".junk2"*' match
          `.junk2.txt' correctly

                                   1/27
                                   ----
support/bashbug.sh
        - ask for confirmation before sending the bug report

builtins/fc.def
        - when editing and re-executing a multiline command, make sure
          current_command_line_count is initialized and then incremented
          for each line read from the file so that the lines added to
          the history list by fc_replhist and fc_addhist obey the `lithist'
          and `cmdhist' shopt options.  Reported by tibbitts@pb.seflin.org

                                   1/28
                                   ----
lib/readline/readline.h
        - added a couple of extern declarations for variables described in
          the documentation but heretofore undeclared

builtins/ulimit.def
        - try to catch some classes of integer overflows before calling
          set_limit

                                   1/29
                                   ----
parse.y
        - push and pop a `(' delimiter while parsing a $(...) construct, so
          the history code doesn't try to inappropriately add a `;' when
          a newline appears in the `...'

aclocal.m4
        - new macro, BASH_STRUCT_WINSIZE, which looks for `struct winsize'
          in <sys/ioctl.h> (or one of the files it includes)

configure.in
        - call BASH_STRUCT_WINSIZE
        - slightly reorganized the calls to bash-specific macros

config.h.in
        - add an `#undef STRUCT_WINSIZE_IN_SYS_IOCTL'

jobs.c, nojobs.c
        - only look in sys/ptem.h for struct winsize if
          STRUCT_WINSIZE_IN_SYS_IOCTL is not defined to cpp

                                   1/30
                                   ----
.{distribution,patchlevel}
        - renamed to _{distribution,patchlevel}

configure.in
        - create a variable BASHVERS, from the contents of _distribution,
          and a variable BASHPATCH, from the contents of _patchlevel,
          (using m4 magic so we don't have to distribute .distribution
          and .patchlevel) and substitute them into Makefile.in

Makefile.in
        - use Version and PatchLevel variables instead of the contents of
          .distribution and .patchlevel, respectively.  These are set by
          configure
        - removed `.machine' from targets and dependencies

support/mkversion.sh
        - new shell script to handle updating version.h, replaces mkversion.c
          (which is now overkill)

support/mkdist
        - don't bother with writing .distribution and .patchlevel files,
          since they're no longer distributed

support/mknewvers.sh
        - simple bash script to make new version files.  It can increment
          the major or minor version numbers or patchlevel, or take a
          completely new version number (e.g., 2.01) as an argument

doc/Makefile.in
        - added support for the `install-info' command to update the info
          directory file after installing bash.info

                                   1/31
                                   ----
builtins/help.def
        - fix core dump with `help --'

susbt.c
        - make call_expand_word_internal obey the convention that if
          expand_word_internal returns &expand_word_{fatal,error}, then
          w->word has already been freed
        - return &expand_word_fatal from expand_word_internal if the shell
          is not interactive and `set -u' has been executed

test.c, general.c
        - moved group_member from test.c to general.c

externs.h, general.h
        - moved extern declaration of group_member from externs.h to general.h

general.c
        - broke the code that initializes the group array out into a new
          function, initialize_group_array()
        - initialize_group_array() now initializes an array even if the OS
          does not have getgroups().  If it does not, an array with one
          element (the real gid) is created
        - call sysconf(_SC_NGROUPS_MAX) if sysconf is available and
          _SC_NGROUPS_MAX is defined
        - new function, char **get_group_list(int *), to return an array
          of strings made from the groups list

variables.c
        - new dynamic array variable: GROUPS, expands to the group set as
          obtained with getgroups() (or whatever initialize_group_array()
          makes)

doc/{bash.{1,html},bashref.texi}
        - added description of GROUPS variable

test/test-tests
        - before modifying the setgid bit on /tmp/setgid, try to change its
          group to ${GROUPS[0]} 

                                    2/3
                                    ---
aclocal.m4
        - new autconf macro, BASH_MISC_SPEED_T, to see if speed_t is defined
          in <sys/types.h>

configure.in
        - call BASH_MISC_SPEED_T

config.h.in
        - add `#undef SPEED_T_IN_SYS_TYPES'

lib/readline/tcap.h
        - include `rltty.h' if HAVE_TERMCAP_H and __linux__ are defined, but
          SPEED_T_IN_SYS_STYPES is not, before including <termcap.h>

support/mksignames.c, siglist.c
        - add support for 4.4 BSD SIGLOST

support/config.guess
        - add support for recognizing QNX based on `uname' output

Makefile.in
        - make sure recho and zecho are compiled with the same set of CC
          options as the rest of the sources

lib/readline/bind.c
        - change calls to rl_generic_bind to cast the third argument to
          (char *) where necessary

command.h
        - two new flags: CMD_AMPERSAND (currently unused), and CMD_STDIN_REDIR,
          which means that this command should have its standard input
          redirected from /dev/null if there are not any explicit redirections
          to stdin

execute_cmd.c
        - a redirection of type r_inputa_direction is no longer added at the
          beginning of the redirection chain for an async command;
          CMD_STDIN_REDIR is set in the flags instead
        - new function: stdin_redirects: returns the number of redirections to
          stdin in a chain of redirections
        - new functions: async_redirect_stdin() to open /dev/null and make it

        - changes to make CMD_STDIN_REDIR propagate to all of the necessary
          functions (like execute_simple_command)
        - execute_disk command now takes the flags from simple_command rather
          than just the CMD_NO_FORK flag as its last argument

          CMD_STDIN_REDIRECT (and no stdin redirections or piping) and call
          async_redirect_stdin
        - stdin_redir is now global

eval.c
        - set stdin_redir to 0 just before calling execute_command so it

          if a key bound to `universal-argument' is read after reading

          ignored.  This is how people can insert repeated digits

configure.in
        - configure --without-gnu-malloc by default on *-sgi-irix6* because
          their code needs 8-byte alignment

support/bashbug.sh
        - ``' needs to be quoted with a backslash in double-quoted strings

aclocal.m4
        - slight changes to the strcoll test, since AIX 4.2 returns -1, 0, or
          1 from strcmp(3) but a numeric collation order difference from
          strcoll(3)

        - return HEREDOC_REDIRECT from do_redirection_internal when
          here_document_to_fd cannot create the temp file for a here document

variables.c
        - only do the initialization of `ignoreeof' if the shell is
          interactive
        - reset values of $SHLVL > 1000 to 1 in adjust_shell_level, and
          don't call itos, since we don't need its generality
        - new function, initialize_shell_level, just calls adjust_shell_level
          with argument of 1.  If $SHLVL is unset, adjust_shell_level will
          deal with it correctly
        - change initialize_shell_variables to not malloc a copy of each
          environment variable, just keep two pointers into the env string:
          one for the name, one for the value
        - broke the code that computes the value of $BASH out into a separate
          function: get_bash_name
        - get_bash_name special-cases shell_name with a `./' prefix when
          initializing $BASH
        - new function: set_home_var, sets $HOME to current_user.home_dir if
          it's not already set, calling get_current_user_info if
          current_user.home_dir is NULL
        - new function: set_shell_var, sets $SHELL to current_user.shell if
          it's not already set, calling get_current_user_info if
          current_user.shell is NULL
        - changed places that reference information in current_user to check
          for NULL values of the member they're interested in and call
          get_current_user_info if necessary

shell.c
        - moved the code that sets up the information in current_user that
          comes from the password file into a new function,
          get_current_user_info
        - shell_initialize calls get_current_user_info only if the shell is
          interactive

externs.h
        - new extern declaration for get_current_user_info(), so variables.c
          can use it

        - only fetch the tty state initially if the shell is interactive

general.c
        - open /dev/tty with the O_NONBLOCK flag

variables.c
        - changed all_vars so that it sorts its output all the time, not
          just when in POSIX mode.  This means that the output of `set'
          and `export' will be sorted

builtins/set.def
        - in initialize_shell_options, only call parse_shellopts if we
          inherited $SHELLOPTS from the environment
        - make sure we call parse_shellopts from initialize_shell_options
          with a copy of the value of SHELLOPTS, in case one of the functions
          called while setting one of the variables modifies $SHELLOPTS

lib/readline/readline.c
        - make sure that digit arguments don't change the state of
          rl_last_func

support/printenv.c
        - new file, printenv(1) clone, used to avoid environment variables
          that might be set automatically when using printenv.sh

lib/tilde/tilde.c

          new history_inhibit_expansion_function variable

lib/readline/history.h
        - extern declaration for history_inhibit_expansion_function

bashhist.c
        - new function, bash_history_inhibit_expansion, which checks for
          the special cases in which history expansion should be inhibited
        - changes to the various history initialization functions to
          set history_inhibit_expansion_function

lib/readline/doc/hstech.texinfo
        - documented history_inhibit_expansion_function

lib/readline/shell.c
        - new file, containing versions of the functions that are provided
          by bash when readline is linked as part of bash
        - new function: get_env_value().  If SHELL is defined, this calls
          get_string_value().  If SHELL is not defined, this calls getenv()

lib/readline/histexpand.c
        - moved single_quote() to shell.c

lib/readline/util.c

lib/readline/terminal.c

lib/readline/Makefile.in, Makefile.in
        - added shell.c and shell.o to the appropriate variables that contain
          the files comprising the readline and history libraries

lib/readline/signals.c
        - introduced two new cpp defines:  HANDLE_JOB_SIGNALS and
          HANDLE_SIGTERM.  When HANDLE_JOB_SIGNALS is defined, SIGTSTP,
          SIGTTIN, and SIGTTOU are caught and handled.  When HANDLE_SIGTERM
          is defined, SIGTERM is caught and handled.  These are both
          defined automatically if SHELL is not defined

lib/readline/{bind,histfile,nls,readline,terminal}.c
        - call get_env_value instead of getenv().  This should remove the
          dependency on being able to redefine getenv() in oslib.c

shell.c
        - added a missing argument of -1 to the call to list_minus_o_opts.
          Now `bash -o' lists all options, not just random ones depending

shell.c

hashcmd.c

          taken from builtins/hash.def and builtins/common.c
        - change to remember_filename -- call initialize_filename_hashing
          if hashing_initialized is 0

hashcmd.h
        - new file, mostly from builtins/hashcom.h, with extern function

execute_cmd.c, builtins/{hash,type}.def

Makefile.in, builtins/Makefile.in

lib/readline/{readline,kill}.c
        - added an argument to _rl_fix_point telling it whether or not to
          fix up the mark also; changed calls to _rl_fix_point to add the
          appropriate argument

Makefile.in
        - changed the substitution delimiter in the `sed' commands that
          create bashbug from `:' to `%' to avoid conflicts with options

        - added stdarg support to xprintf if PREFER_STDARG is defined

stringlib.c
        - changed strip_trailing to take the index of the last character
          as the second argument, saving a (useless) call to strlen, since
          the caller already knows where the end of the string is

subst.c

hashlib.h

lib/tilde/tilde.c
        - prime the result string in tilde_expand by allocating a new string
          that's as long as the input string (+16 if a tilde appears in
          the string to be expanded).  This should reduce the number of
          reallocs

subst.c
        - broke the code that reads the output of a command substitution
          through the pipe to the subshell out into a separate function:
          read_comsub().  This does not use stdio, but rather reads
          directly from the pipe into a local 128-character buffer

variables.c
        - changes to make environment creation faster and use less memory
          (fewer malloc/free calls, too):

                o two new variables: export_env_index (how many environment
                  strings are in export_env) and export_env_size (the
                  number of slots for strings allocated in export_env)
                o added new function add_to_export_env, since adding the
                  exported shell variables and shell functions does not
                  need to search the export_env for a definition to supersede
                  (we just cleared it out!)
                o renamed add_or_supersede to add_or_supersede_exported_var,
                  since it always works on export_env, and changed the second
                  argument to a flag saying whether or not to allocate a new
                  copy of the string placed into the environment
                o changed calls to add_or_supersede to the new
                  add_or_supersede_exported_var with the appropriate flags
                o don't free and reallocate export_env in maybe_make_export_env,
                  just free the strings and start anew
                o prime the size of export_env from the total number of shell
                  variables and shell functions -- this will always be enough
                  for the exported shell functions and variables, and big
                  enough most of the time for the entire environment

builtins/cd.def
        - efficiency hack in bindpwd():  if PWD is exported, we will have to
          rebuild the entire exported environment after every time we change
          directories.  What we do is see if array_needs_making changes value
          from 0 to 1 after bind_variable ("PWD", dirname) is called, and
          that PWD is exported.  If that happens, we just replace the value
          of PWD in the exported environment with a call to
          add_or_supersede_exported_var

bashline.c, parse.y
        - check calls to pre_process_line to make a fresh copy of the line
          if pre_process_line returns what it was passed, in preparation
          for future changes

bashhist.c
        - pre_process_line now returns its argument if it did not make
          any changes to it

alias.c
        - free the bucket entry holding the alias to be removed in
          remove_alias, as well as the data

unwind_prot.c
        - if an unwind-protect frame is being discarded, and its cleanup
          function is `restore_variable', the `arg' member points to a
          SAVED_VAR that must be freed.  This change is made in
          remove_unwind_protect_internal and unwind_frame_discard_internal

parse.y
        - need to free memory allocated by parse_arith_cmd if it is an
          arithmetic command, after using it to make a new word

subst.c
        - fixed some memory leaks caused by not freeing the argument to
          make_bare_word, which duplicates its string argument
        - need to dispose list generated by list_rest_of_args in
          paramter_list_remove_pattern
        - make sure the return value from getpattern() is freed
        - make sure array_value_internal always returns newly-allocated
          memory
        - get_var_and_type returns a new type: VT_ARRAYMEMBER if the
          string passed is of the form var[index]
        - make sure parameter_brace_substring frees the memory allocated
          by get_var_and_type if verify_substring_values returns 0

hashlib.c, hashlib.h
        - new function, dispose_hash_table (table), which frees the
          table's bucket array and the table itself

alias.c
        - call dispose_hash_table from delete_all_aliases instead of just
          freeing the table

pathexp.c
        - make sure to free `newnames' (but *not* its contents) before
          returning from ignore_globbed_names

builtins/exec.def
        - make sure the argv created to pass to shell_execve is freed if
          the execve fails and we're not exiting on failed execs

expr.c
        - broke evalexp into two functions: evalexp, which sets up the
          jmp_buf that errors jump to, and subexpr, which does the
          evaluation and pushing and popping of contexts
        - readtok now calls subexpr to evaluate subexpressions in
          parentheses
        - evalexp now takes an additional paramter, a pointer to an int.
          If the expression contains errors, the location to which this
          points gets 0, otherwise it gets 1 to show that the value
          returned may be used.  This plugs up memory leaks that were
          the result of evalexp() longjmping back to top_level
        - fixed a memory leak: expr_stack[0] was not being freed

externs.h
        - changed extern declaration for evalexp

variables.c, subst.c, builtins/let.def
        - changed calls to evalexp appropriately.  They either cause a
          longjmp (top_level, DISCARD) (which is what the old stuff in
          expr.c did) or are handled by returning an appropriate error
          value (e.g., &expand_word_error in subst.c)

          to free the hash table element used to store the local variable

builtins/set.def

builtins/common.h
        - extern declarations for reset_shell_options and reset_shopt_options

execute_cmd.c
        - broke the code that reinitializes things when an executable script
          without a leading `#!' is found out into a new function:
          initialize_subshell
        - initialize_subshell now calls the reset_* functions that reset the
          shell flags and options

general.c, general.h
        - move_to_high_fd now takes a third argument: the highest fd at which
          to start looking.  If that's less than 20, the maximum number of
          open files as returned by getdtablesize() is used (which is what
          it did before this)

jobs.c, shell.c, subst.c
        - changed calls to move_to_high_fd appropriately

trap.c
        - don't free the trap command in change_signal if the SIG_INPROGRESS
          is set in the signal's flags -- it will cause memory to be freed
          twice if a trap command resets the signal handler more than once,
          and _run_trap_internal keeps a pointer to the trap command so it
          can free it, so there will be no leaks

bashline.c
        - alias_expand_line_internal was removed

          rl_line_buffer and either replaces rl_line_buffer or signals
          an error

unwind_prot.c
        - fixed a problem with saving a variable that is a null pointer
          in unwind_protect_var.  It happens only on machines where the
          size of a pointer is not the size of an int.  The old FASTCOPY
          code would copy the eight bytes at memory location zero, which
          did not necessarily make a null pointer

          files should be run without job control enabled -- this makes
          SIGINT interrupt startup file execution again
        - if we get a SIGINT or other longjmp to top_level while executing
          the startup files, re-enable job control for interactive shells

sig.c
        - make sure that the handler for SIGPROF is not changed if it has
          been set to something other than SIG_IGN or SIG_DFL -- this makes
          profiling work after the terminating signals have been initialized

bashline.c
        - if a filename containing `!' is completed, and the user has started
          the string with a `"', change the completion style to backslash-      
          quoting, since there's no way to use `!' with double quotes (this

          bash to change a filename containing a `!' and started with a
          double quote by the user into a filename with the `!' quoted by
          a backslas and no double quote)

builtins/evalstring.c
        - the third argument to parse_and_execute() is now a flags word.
          The caller can control the value of `interactive' and whether
          or not history is disabled while parse_and_execute() runs

builtins/common.h
        - new #defines for the flag values for parse_and_execute()

{bashline,jobs,shell,subst,trap,variables}.c, parse.y, builtins/evalfile.c,
builtins/{eval,fc}.def
        - changed calls to parse_and_execute appropriately

builtins/evalfile.c
        - if _evalfile() is passed FEVAL_HISTORY as part of the flags arg,
          don't pass SEVAL_NOHIST to parse_and_execute
        - new function: fc_execute_file, which sets FEVAL_HISTORY in the
          flags argument to _evalfile()

bashline.c
        - call bash_add_history instead of add_history from
          vi_edit_and_execute_command so the bash state variables get
          updated properly.  This keeps the `v' command from operating
          on an empty command when the history list is stifled

bashhist.c
        - bash_add_history is now global

bashhist.h
        - extern declaration for bash_add_history

builtins/fc.def
        - call fc_execute_file instead of maybe_execute_file in the
          edit-and-re-execute case (fc -e ...)
        - don't manually insert the commands from the file created by `fc -e'
          into the history list, just set remember_on_history and let
          fc_execute_file take care of telling parse_and_execute to do the
          right thing.  This makes compound commands and the `cmdhist'
          and `lithist' settings work better.  This supersedes the fix of
          1/27.  This was reported again by rchen@fractal.eng.yale.edu.

parse.y
        - the body of a `for' command (the commands between do...done or
          {...}) should be a `compound_list' instead of a `list'.  Problem
