65 parameters. The Posix working group has since clarified the
66 standard's position on the issue, and $@ and $* are now the only

68 error when unset if set -u is enabled.

658 * New upstream release.
659 * Bugs fixed in this release (and the alpha/beta releases and release
661 - Fixed a bug that caused the prompt to overwrite previous output when the
662 output doesn't contain a newline and the locale supports multibyte
663 characters. This same change fixes the problem of readline redisplay
664 slowing down dramatically as the line gets longer in multibyte locales.
666 - The shell no longer seg faults if the expanded value of $PS4 is null
667 and `set -x' is enabled. Closes: #165533.
668 - Don't define a default DEFAULT_MAIL_DIRECTORY, because it can cause
669 a timeout on NFS mounts. Closes: #211426.
670 - Fixed a bad interaction between alias and completion. Closes: #186218.
671 - Fix initialization of local variables with "$@". Closes: #180290.
672 - Fixed segfault in "read -a foo <<< $(echo)". Closes: #167003.
673 - Fixed the history word tokenizer to handle <( and >( better when used as
674 part of bash. Closes: #165212.
675 - Fixed EINTR signal killing redirection. Closes: #164134.
676 - Fixed infinite loop with IFS="<non-ws-char>" and compgen -W.
678 - Fixed the internal logout code so that shells that time out waiting for
679 input (using $TMOUT) run ~/.bash_logout. Closes: #152847.
680 - Speedups to the multibyte character redisplay code. Closes: #197965.
681 - Better error message on wrong kill arguments. Closes: #193570.
682 - Overwriting of prompt. Closes: #176968.
683 - The shell now reports on processes that dump core due to signals when
684 invoked as `-c command'. Closes: #211693.
685 - Fixed ferror beeing called w/o always first calling clearerr
686 results in spurious errors reported. Closes: #195116.
687 - Add missing trailing slash on directory completion. Closes: #178828.
688 - Fix different behaviour for builtin and external commands together
689 with arithmetic expansion. Closes: #173744.
690 - Fixed a bug that caused redirections accompanying a null command
691 to persist in the current shell. Closes: #173148.
692 - Fixed a bug that caused a leading `-' in the shell's name to cause it to
693 not be recognized as a restricted shell. Closes: #170298.
694 - Fix segfault in ill formed paramter expansion. Closes: #162773.
695 - Fixed a bug in brace expansion that caused a quoted `$' preceding an
696 open brace to inhibit brace expansion. Closes: #157954.
697 - Removed the attempts to avoid adding a slash at the end of a completed
698 executable name if there was a directory with the same name in the
699 current directory. Closes: #155134, #189006.
700 - Fix error message for circular alias expansions. Closes: #173588.
701 - Fixed a bug that caused some key bindings set in an inputrc to be ignored
702 at shell startup. Closes: #110969.
703 - Fix segfault on bad array subscripts. Closes: #232653.
704 - Fix "set completion-ignore-case on" breaking some tab completion.
706 - Flag an error when a user uses "% DIGITS" instead of "%DIGITS", and
707 don't give him a different job instead. Closes: #173854.
708 - For 'cd filename' say 'not a directory', not 'no such file or directory'
709 when filename exists and is not a directory. Closes: #219958.
710 - Expansion results are the same for ${1:+"$@"} and "$@" if IFS is not
712 - The locale code does a better job of recomputing the various locale
713 variable values when LC_ALL is unset. Closes: #160932.

1322 * Fixed upstream in 2.05: #84743.
1323 * #76596: Bourne-style shells have always accepted multiple directory name
1324 arguments to cd. If the user doesn't like it, have him define a shell
1325 function (see README.Debian).
1326 * bash already has enabled the system wide /etc/bash.bashrc (#82117).
1327 * #88223: Starting bash with --posix, or -o posix, or as `sh', does make
1328 the entire bash session posix-compliant (with the caveats noted in the
1329 info manual). Posix-compliant does not mean `behaves exactly like
1330 historical versions of sh', nor does it mean `does only what is in
1331 the standard and nothing more'.
1333 Posix says nothing about brace expansion, so whether or not bash does
1334 brace expansion in posix mode has no bearing on posix compliance.
1336 If you don't want brace expansion, use `set +o braceexpand' or
1337 `set +B' or start bash with the `+B' option.
1339 * Lower temporarily severity of #92455, so that this version can move
1340 to testing. This bug exists in 2.04 as well, so we don't make things
1342 * Apply upstream patch 1.

1462 * The `-l' option to test is not included by intent (fixes #13645).
1463 Comment from upstream: "The `-l' option should never have been documented,
1464 and it was a mistake to include it in the first place -- it screws up the
1465 grammar. Old Bourne shells and test commands had it because there was no
1466 other way to find the length of a variable's value. Since bash has
1467 ${#variable}, there's no need for it. POSIX.2 says, in the rationale,
1468 that implementation is irregular and that the shell supports it directly.
1469 * Report #26720: perl -e 'print ":;" x 100000' > foo; . ./foo dumps core.
1470 Comment from upstream: This is not a bash bug; it is a process resource
1471 problem. The default resource limit for stack size is 8M on my version of
1472 Linux. The call tree created by the parser for the script (100000 calls
1473 to `:') is 99999 nodes deep, and requires that many recursive calls to the
1474 command execution routines. This overflows the stack, and bash segfaults.
1475 I couldn't reproduce it anywhere but Linux, because the machines I tested
1476 on all have reasonable default stack sizes. Raising the limit to 16M is
1477 sufficient to cause the script to run successfully (I didn't try anything
1478 between 8M and 16M).

1568 names that are not identifiers is something that may go away in the future.

1572 upstream author, this feature was removed in bash-2.01.1. The TAB
1573 completion only succeeds with globbing characters if there is a single
1574 completion. It caused too many problems otherwise.

1578 bash behavior with respect to the exit status of a pipeline will not
