FEDORA-2017-5c09977559 created by mhlavink 6 years ago for Fedora 26

Do not apply alias name restrictions to hash/tilde tracking
Restore ‘.’, ‘:’ and ‘[’ in alias names (“[[” is still forbidden)
Fix accidentally defanged $PATHSEP test
On ^C (INTR and QUIT edchars), shove edit line into history
Begin porting to z/OS using EBCDIC encoding, incomplete
Redo fast character classes code, adding POSIX and other helpers
bind parses backslash-escaped ‘^’ (and ‘\’) as escaped
Building with -DMKSH_ASSUME_UTF8=0 no longer causes a known failure in the testsuite
re_format(7) BSD: [[ $x = [[:\<:]]foo[[:>:]] ]]
Use Config in check.pl only if it exists
New matching code for bracket expressions, full POSIX (8bit)
Exclude FAT/HPFS/NTFS-unsafe tests on OS/2 (and Cygwin/MSYS)
Update to Unicode 10.0.0
Make readonly idempotent
When truncating the persistent history, do not change the underlying file, do all operations on the locked one; do not stop using the history at all if it has been truncated
Turn off UTF-8 mode upon turning on POSIX mode
In POSIX mode, make the exec builtin force a $PATH search plus execve
Fix GCC 7, Coverity Scan warnings
Track background process PIDs even interactive
Always expose mksh’s hexdump shell function; speed it up by working on the input in chunks; use character classes to make it EBCDIC safe
Revamp dot.mkshrc default editor selection mechanism
