1New features with AN-2017-12-08:
2
3This is the first localization step for the schily source consolidation. Many
4programs now (hopefully) call gettext() for all strings that need localization.
5
6-	The next step will include dgettext() calls for the libraries and the
7	missing programs
8
9-	The following step will include the extracted strings
10
11-	The last step will include German translations and install support
12	for the resulting binary message object files.
13
14----------> Please test and report compilation problems! <---------
15
16***** NOTE: As mentioned since 2004, frontends to the tools should *****
17*****		call all programs in the "C" locale		   *****
18*****		by e.g. calling: LC_ALL=C cdrecord ....		   *****
19*****		unless these frontends support localized strings   *****
20*****		used by the cdrtools with NLS support.		   *****
21
22		*** WARNING        ***
23		*** Need new smake ***
24
25	*** Due to the fact that schily-tools 2014-04-03 introduced to use new macro
26	*** expansions and a related bug fix in smake, you need a new smake
27	*** to compile this source. To ensure this, call:
28
29	cd ./psmake
30	./MAKE-all
31	cd ..
32	psmake/smake
33	psmake/smake install
34
35
36	WARNING: the new version of the isoinfo program makes use of the
37		*at() series of functions that have been introduced by Sun
38		in August 2001 and added to POSIX.1-2008. For older platforms,
39		libschily now includes emulations for these functions but
40		these emulations have not yet been tested thoroughly.
41		Please report problems!
42
43	The new smake version mentioned above is smake-1.2.4
44
45-	The Schily Makefilesystem now uses .PHONY again (and no longer "FRC")
46	unless the make program was identified as an old unfixed "SunPro Make"
47	from Sun or Oracle.
48
49-	README.compile now better explains that CCOM= does not just set the
50	C-compiler but the compiler family that includes a C++ compiler.
51
52-	include/schily/archdefs.h: With Sun Studio-12.4 on Oracle Solaris-11.2,
53	we had a problem with __SUNPRO_C and needed to change it to __IS_SUNPRO_C
54
55	Thanks to Jens Elkner for reporting.
56
57-	libschily::format.3 the man page for the printf worker function now menions
58	the new fomats %E %F %G
59
60-	Bourne Shell test suite: Some problems in the printf(1) tests have
61	been fixed.
62
63	-	\n inside "" is now properly quoted in order to let printf
64		do the \n expansion
65
66	-	LC_ALL=C -> LC_ALL=C; export LC_CLL in order to permit
67		to use the test suite to check floating point behavior
68		in an external printf(1) implementation as well.
69
70-	Bourne Shell and printf: the man pages now mention the new
71	%n$ formats
72
73-	Bourne Shell: cbuf[] in print.c::prs_cntl() was made 4 chars longer to
74	avoid a buffer overflow from calling octal() that inserts 4 characters
75	at once.
76
77	Thanks to Heiko Ei�deldt for reporting.
78
79-	Bourne Shell: The lexer now always correctly adds a second Nul byte after
80	a "\\\0" sequence. This prevents split()/trims() from reading past the
81	end of a string.
82
83	Thanks to Heiko Ei�deldt for reporting.
84
85-	Bourne Shell: The PATH search mechanism now always correctly adds a
86	second Nul byte after a "\\\0" sequence. This prevents split()/trims()
87	from reading past the end of a string.
88
89	Thanks to Heiko Ei�deldt for reporting.
90
91-	Bourne Shell: As a hack to the problem from above, the shell now adds a
92	second Nul byte after every string that is remembered for a function
93	definition.
94
95-	Bourne Shell: "command <spec-builtin>" did not prevent a script
96	from exiting on errors in case that before:
97
98	-	the same <spec-builtin> was called to pring it into
99		the hash list.
100
101	-	"hash -r" or PATH=.... was called to zap the hash content.
102
103	Thanks to Martijn Dekker for reporting.
104
105-	Bourne Shell: prevent an illegal heap access in case that a command name
106	ends in a backslash. The function catpath() in the PATH search code
107	not adds a second Nul byte in this case.
108
109	Thanks to Heiko Ei�deldt for reporting.
110
111-	Bourne Shell: the arithmetic expansion for $(()) has been rewritten
112	to be able to deal with syntax errors while the shell is in a
113	non-exit-on-error state.
114
115	Thanks to Heiko Ei�deldt for reporting.
116
117-	Bourne Shell: the macro expansion has been rewritten to return early from
118	an error when on a non-exit-on-error state.
119
120	Thanks to Heiko Ei�deldt for reporting.
121
122-	Bourne Shell: Fixed a bug in the endstak() function for string stak handling.
123	In rare cases, the function could allocate one byte too few.
124
125	Thanks to Heiko Ei�deldt for reporting.
126
127-	SunPro Make: Oracle Solaris-11.2 hides wcsdup() behind "namespace std".
128	We need to add "using namespace std" to make it compile again.
129
130-	SunPro Make: The make program now also sets SGS_SUPPORT_32 and
131	SGS_SUPPORT_64 in case that at least one of these variables was set
132	before "make" started. Previously only SGS_SUPPORT was set and for this
133	reason, our setup could be ignored.
134
135-	SunPro Make: Support for the special target .PHONY has been added.
136
137-	SunPro Make: The new macro MAKE_NAME=sunpro is no longer visible in
138	case that the make prigram is in Sun compatibility mode or in SVr4
139	compatibility mode.
140
141-	cdda2wav: It is also Copyright 2017 Heiko Ei�feldt
142
143-	cdrtools:bumped to version 3.02a09
144
145
146
147-	Bourne Shell Missing features for POSIX compliance:
148
149	- Support for $'...' quoting (this is not needed for the current
150					version of POSIX but for the next POSIX
151					version that will be named SUSv8).
152					The development of SUSv8 will start in
153					late 2016.
154
155	We are now expecting the Bourne Shell to be fully POSIX compliant.
156
157-	Bourne Shell further TODO list:
158
159	-	Finish loadable builtin support.
160
161	-	POSIX does not allow us to implement ". -h", so we will
162		add a "source" builtin to be able to implement "source -h"
163
164-	The following builtins (that are available in bsh) are still missing in
165	the Bourne Shell:
166
167	err			echo with output going to stderr
168	glob			echo with '\0' instead of ' ' between args
169	env			a builtin version of /usr/bin/env
170
171	The following bsh intrinsics are still missing in the Bourne Shell:
172
173	-			the restricted bsh has restriction features that
174				are missing in the Bourne shell.
175
176	-	source -h	read file into history but do not execute
177
178	and probably more features not yet identified to be bsh unique.
