Verwijderd wist ons te melden dat op de Linux sectie van Slashdot de eerste publieke release van Bash 3.0 is te vinden. Naar verluidt heeft Gentoo Linux de nieuwe release al opgenomen in z'n package management systeem Portage. In deze release zijn diverse bugfixes doorgevoerd met betrekking tot de POSIX compliance, is localization sterk verbeterd en is ondersteuning voor de bash debugger geïntegreerd. Wat er nog meer is veranderd kan uit de release notes worden opgemaakt:
Read the file NEWS in the bash-3.0 distribution for a complete description of the new features. Here is a short list:
- Features to support the bash debugger have been implemented, and there is a new `extdebug' option to turn the non-default options on
- HISTCONTROL is now a colon-separated list of options and has been extended with a new `erasedups' option that will result in only one copy of a command being kept in the history list
- Brace expansion has been extended with a new " rel="external">x..y form, producing sequences of digits or characters
- Timestamps are now kept with history entries, with an option to save and restore them from the history file; there is a new HISTTIMEFORMAT variable describing how to display the timestamps when listing history entries
- The `[[' command can now perform extended regular expression (egrep-like) matching, with matched subexpressions placed in the BASH_REMATCH array variable
- A new `pipefail' option causes a pipeline to return a failure status if any command in it fails
- The `jobs', `kill', and `wait' builtins now accept job control notation in their arguments even if job control is not enabled [break]De volgende downloads zijn beschikbaar:
