Release Notes: The Bourne Shell built-in "type" now correctly lists case statements in functions. The Bourne Shell now supports pushd/popd/dirs. The built-in times(1) command in the Bourne Shell now produces POSIX-compliant output. Two memory leaks have been fixed in the Bourne Shell.

Release Notes: Several minor bugs in the Bourne Shell have been fixed. The Bourne Shell now has the built-in commands "savehistory", "map", and "repeat". The mapper (used by sh, bsh, and ved) now has better defaults for cursor mappings. The man page for the Bourne Shell now includes a complete description of the command history editor. The libxtermcap implementation now supports tc= nesting of 64 instead of 32. The termcap program has had several small bugfixes and now allows the user to output unknown termcap entries in order.

Release Notes: The Bourne Shell now supports umask -S and a symbolic POSIX compliant mode to set umask. The Bourne Shell builtin "read" now supports the POSIX option -r. The Bourne Shell builtin "ulimit" now supports the options -l, -m, and -u for better *BSD and Linux compatibility. All known unfixed bugs in the SVr4.0 Bourne Shell from 1990 have been fixed. The Bourne Shell man page got a major reworking and, among other features, describes the commandline history editor.

Release Notes: The Bourne Shell is no longer in beta. It has been sucessfully tested on all major platforms, and some minor problems have been fixed and workarounds for Mac OS X and AIX-related problems have been introduced. smake now compiles on Cygwin again (after adding -lintl). mdigest now also compiles on Cygwin again after introducing a workaround for a non-working #pragma.

Release Notes: The Bourne Shell has been completely converted to be based on the portable malloc() from libc instead of insisting on using its own memory management based on sbrk(). This is a major step towards ubiquitous portability.
