0.005 [1999-12-28] A very functional release. New Evaluation Strategies * brace * fallback_builtin Builtins of this type (currently searched in package `Psh::Builtins::Fallback') will be executed AFTER no program of that name was found. This allows simulation of common commands like ls and env on systems not having such binaries. * auto_resume New Bultins * builtin * env On systems with an env binary installed it will use the binary, on other systems (namely Win32) it will print a list of environment variables. * help * unalias Builtin Enhancements * alias Changed builtin alias so that '`alias name'' displays the alias definition for that name. * bg It's now possible to do '`bg commandname'' (e.g. '`bg emacs'') fg has the same behaviour for consistency. * cd Respects `CDPATH' now and sets `OLDPWD'. Portability Enhancements * Added portability infrastructure. * Working Win32 port (though it has limited features). Completion Enhancements * Variables for bookmark completion are now `@Psh::Completion::bookmarks' and `@Psh::Completion::netprograms'. * New Perl Hashkey completion will TAB complete the name of keys for Perl hashes (if they are not written in quotes). * Support for user defined completions by `%Psh::Completion::custom_completions'. * Perl Symbol completion now supports package names and package name completion. * Support for TAB completions for builtins. * A `custom_completions' entry may now also be code. If the value of a `custom_completions' key/value pair is a `sub' that `sub' will be called and the result used as rules. * A rule for `custom_completions' may now have an optional third argument. If that argument is true, the `custom_completion' will replace the standard completions instead of adding to them. * Filename Completion respects the `FIGNORE' environment variable now. Other Changes * Documentation updates. * Locales defined for: Default (English), French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. * New fallback builtins: ls * Prompt evaluation is now more bash compatible and handles even more complex prompts. * Replaced `Psh::OS::Unix::glob()' - now uses its own glob routine instead of `CORE::glob()' - and is significantly faster (important for executable completion). * New variables: `$Psh::Prompt_cont', `$Psh::result_array'. * Moved almost all code from `psh' into `Psh', `Psh::Builtins' and `Psh::Util'. * Environment variable `CURRENT_SHELL' is set to the path to psh. Bug Fixes * Generation of weekday names. * Small fixes for setenv, print_list and abs_path. * Fixed signal description generation. 0.004 [1999-12-13] This release fixes bugs, refactors the code, and adds the following features: * Background process management much more like bash. * Perl code in addition to executables may be put in the background. * Pipelines. * Initial internationalization. * New built-ins: `alias', `export', `setenv'. * A flexible set of evaluation strategies that can be selected or reordered by setting a configuration variable. * Prompt strings can have escapes like `\07' (ASCII `BEL') or `\10' (ASCII `LF'). * avoided trying to save history if there wasn't even a `ReadLine' module. * added `$psh::debugging' variable to hold the debugging state, so it can be turned on and off in a running psh. * A `$psh::echo' variable to control whether perl results of evaluation are printed. * The `which' builtin now shows which strategy will apply to a given command line * Grab more input automatically if `<
