Changes in release 1.17
[1.16k]
* fix typos in my version of AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
* fix dates on config files so builders don't need autoconf/automake
[1.16j]
* work around problems with my use of AC_SEARCH_LIBS
* fix a bug in id
[1.16i]
* portability tweaks for lib/readutmp.[ch] and src/date.c
[1.16h]
* seq with no arguments now elicits a useful diagnostic rather than a segfault
* portability tweaks to work around utmpname differences
* who works on Solaris
[1.16g]
* factor now uses uintmax_t, so the largest number it can factor is now 2^64 - 1
on systems with type `long long'.
* nohup no longer modifies the shell's search path
* `basename /' now prints `/', per the single unix spec
* `who --lookup' no longer erroneously reports `localhost' for IP addresses
for which it could not do a reverse lookup.
* `id user' wouldn't report a group id in some situations. Now it always does.
[1.16f]
* chroot now calls chdir ("/") after chroot.
* `date -s' now exits with nonzero status upon failure
* new autoconf tests detect bugs in vendor mktime from Irix-6.4 and SunOS4.1.4
Your executables will be a little larger on such systems because you'll use
GNU's mktime function, but date will work more reliably.
* hostid: new program
* `yes --help' and `yes --version' print those strings when the POSIXLY_CORRECT
environment variable is set
* who no longer does DNS lookups by default -- the new option, --lookup (-l),
enables lookups
[1.16e]
* pinky: new lightweight finger-style program
[1.16d]
* the groups script now exits non-zero and doesn't print anything more
when `id' fails
[1.16c]
* date -u -d DATE now prints the correct date
* don't remove already-installed su unless it is possible to install the
new one setuid root.
[1.16b]
[1.16a]
* expr accepts new unary operator, quote.
* expr now returns 0 for failed matches where pattern contained e.g., `\\('
* date -d DATE now works on Unicos systems
* add tests for factor and more for date.
* factor runs a lot faster for large 64-bit inputs
* date works with relative offsets involving the `next' keyword
Changes in release 1.16
* stty -tabs works properly
* add tests for date
* date --date "02/29/1996 - 1 year" now works properly
Changes in release 1.15
* nice works with very recently-changed GNU libc getopt
* fix several bugs in m4 macros used to create `configure' script
* id works on systems with disfunctional getgroups function
* uptime configure test detects /proc/uptime on Linux
Changes in release 1.14
* fix bug in getdate.y that broke date's --date=DATE option on systems
like SunOS4.
* expr treats unadorned ? and + as literals. To make expr treat them as
operators you have to use \? and \+.
Changes in release 1.13
* two patches for ISC
* Regenerate all Makefile.in using a patched version of automake-1.1l.
[1.12s]
* lots of little bug fixes -- see ChangeLog
[1.12r]
* uname --processor (-p) works on systems that have sysinfo and define
SI_ARCHITECTURE.
* stty works better on systems like i386-pc-isc3.0
* date --date=DATE accepts dates like those in an RCS log listing, e.g.,
`1992/11/01 05:44:34'.
* printf now warns if excess arguments are ignored.
* tee no longer fails immediately upon receipt of SIGPIPE
[1.12q]
* running `make check' runs tests of nice
* lots of configuration-related improvements
* nice allows `+' in options like -+8 and -+13.
* when matching, expr warns about non-portability when the first character
of the basic regular expression is `^'
* `id user' no longer prints bogus group list
* uses automake-generated Makefile templates
* date accepts new %V format
* date's %U and %W formats work properly
* nice option handling works with 2-digit old-style-option adjustments.
Now, `nice -18 -- nice' prints `18'. Before it printed `8'.
* internationalized diagnostic messages
* `date -d "01/01/1998 3 years" +%Y' now works properly. It prints 2001.
* New programs: chroot, factor, seq, uptime.
* date accepts new option: --rfc-822 (-R)
* date accepts new format, %z, for RFC-822 style numeric timezone (-0500)
* date: fix bugs in the handling of date -u +'%s %Z'.
* date accepts new option --reference=FILE (-r FILE) analogous to the
like-named touch option.
* date can now format dates up to and including ones in the year 2037
User visible changes in release 1.12
* None.
User visible changes in release 1.11
* date accepts new option: (-f) --file=DATEFILE
* skeletal texinfo documentation (mainly just the `invoking' nodes)
* `stty werase ^W' works. Before, werase wasn't enabled for AIX-3.2.5.
* su with no arguments works properly
* nice accepts options like `--5' (this is interpreted like `-n -5')
* nice now interprets `-1 -1' like `-1' not like `-11'
* `stty speed' and `stty size' no longer output a spurious newline
User visible changes in release 1.10
* change package name from shellutils to sh-utils
* add hostname, pwd, and users commands
* --version outputs the name of the utility as well as the package name
and version number.
* Configure properly determines options for stty on SCO ODT 3.0 systems.
* `date -d' works better. Before, `date -d '4apr94'' produced
`Sun Apr 3 23:00:00 CDT 1994'.
User visible changes in release 1.9.4
* Repair stty option handling.
User visible changes in release 1.9.3
* `stty -a -g' gets a diagnostic
* `stty {-a|-g} any-other-argument' gets a diagnostic
* stty no longer ignores some of its arguments
* basename and dirname no longer treat `--' specially
* `basename -- file.c .c' generates a usage error. Before, it output `file'.
* `basename file-dist -dist' outputs `file'. Before it output `file-dist'.
* stty defaults `swtch' to undefined for Solaris so `susp' (^Z) will work.
Before, with the default settings ^Z did nothing.
* stty no longer gives an error message when it finds a spurious difference
(due to buggy tcgetattr/tcsetattr) between requested and current tty
modes under SunOS 4.1.x.
* stty no longer fails if the ioctl to determine the display width fails
when displaying settings.
* stty works around SunOS 4.x kernel bug that made `stty rows 0 cols 0' fail.
* who and tee no longer fail gratuitously when continued after an
interrupted read or write system call.
* date accepts new format: %s time in seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UCT
* date -d can parse dates like `11-JUL-1991'
* expr '' == 0 works (before, it printed 1)
* stty no longer fails on telnet sessions to Solaris systems
* `cd /etc; who utmp' now works. Before, any filename argument had to be
absolute or relative to /dev.
User visible changes in release 1.9.2:
* who output is better formatted on Solaris and other SysVr4 systems
* fix a minor problem in formatting the output from `stty -a'
* yes with arguments outputs newlines again
* partial stty failures are reported
Major changes in release 1.9.1:
* stty can be built on Suns again
* minor fix for who -q
Major changes in release 1.9:
* su fails gracefully when getpass is unable to open /dev/tty.
* printenv and tty detect and report write errors
* fix bug in stty
* stty accepts the new options status and flush on systems that provide them
* `expr 1 / 0' gives an error message rather than trying to divide by zero
* expr's `substr' doesn't overrun malloc'd buffer
* expr recognizes the string `0' as zero
* better support for Linux, Dec Alpha, and SGI Irix
* all programs (even true and false) accept --version and --help options
* uname's --version option is no longer equivalent to its -v option
* configure uses config.h, so DEFS won't exceed preprocessor limits of
some compilers on the number of symbols defined via -D.
* work around problem where $(srcdir)/config.h was used instead of
../config.h -- this happened only when building in a subdirectory
and when config.h remained in $(srcdir) from a previous ./configure.
* make may be run from the subdirectories
Major changes in release 1.8:
* add echo command
* fix some incorrect warnings in pathchk
* look at the right utmp file on 386BSD
* date doesn't dump core on some systems now
Major changes in release 1.7:
* add su, who, true, false commands
* add more tests to expr
* fix printf program handling of \ escapes
* printf can re-use format string for multiple groups of arguments
* printf catches numeric conversion errors with an ANSI C library
* stty nl and -nl were backwards
* date can format an arbitrary date without setting it
