Version : 52c
Release : 1.el5

Summary : MirBSD enhanced version of the Korn Shell
Description :
mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh),
a bourne-compatible shell which is largely similar to the original AT&T Korn
shell. It includes bug fixes and feature improvements in order to produce a
modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use, being a
bourne shell replacement, pdksh successor and an alternative to the C shell.

Update Information:
mksh R52c ========= R52c is a bugfix-only release: * Shave 200 bytes off
.text by revisiting string pooling * Fix manpage for ditroff on Schillix *
Use sed 1q instead of unportable head(1) * Implement underrun debugging tool
for area-based memory allocator * Fix history underrun when first interactive
command is entered * Do not misinterpret ���${0/}��� as ���${0//���, fixes segfault
* Fix display problems with special parameters * Catch attempt to trim $* and
$@ with ?, fixes segfault (Todd Miller did this in 2004 for ${x[*]} already, so
just sync) * Fix ���command -p��� with -Vv to behave as POSIX requires * Fix
recusive parser with active heredocs * Flush even syntax-failing or
interrupted commands to history * Fix invalid memory access for ���'\0'��� in
arithmetics * Explicitly reserve SIGEXIT and SIGERR for ksh * Catch missing
here documents at EOF even under ���set -n��� * Document Austin#1015 handling (not
considered a violation) * Fix buffer overread for empty nameref targets *
